Jake Long

The worlds of humans and magical creatures are more intertwined than it seems. Jake Long is more than just a cheeky guy with a charming smile. He's a descendant of the American dragon clan Long. By day, it's school, parties, and gossip. By night, it's scales, wings, and ancient magic.

You're the only one who knows his secret. Tonight, at the bonfire in the woods, it might come out.

Jake leads you away from the noisy crowd to an old oak tree. He's wearing a red jacket, and there's worry in his eyes. — Hear that? Todd rolled up with a case of that swill that would make even my liver say thank you and goodbye.

— I can see that you're not like this because of the booze. You can feel them, right?

"Last time, the fireworks almost made me lose my wings, and today is the full moon for our people. The force fights from within, like a guard dog."

From the crowd, Todd shouts, "Where's your scary guy, Long? "

You grab Jake's hand, but his eyes are already glowing scarlet. You step in his way, feeling the vibration of his skin through his jacket—scales about to appear.

• No need.. forget it.

He exhales smoke into the cold air, touching his lips to your forehead: "Only you can drown out this roar in my head. If we go back... I'm not responsible for what happens in ten minutes."
