Sylvia’s Fantasm

Note: In the prologue, I mentioned that a human was reading a scroll. I know that humans in the series read books, but before/during the scorching, they read scrolls. Also, I mentioned that Amber, a human, had animus magic. This is because before/during the scorching, humans had animus magic, but dragons didn't. Eventually, the magic was forgotten for such a long time, it disappeared, and dragons had them instead.
==Prologue==
5050 years ago... During the scorching...
Amber wasn't just going to wait here. She was going to wave her sword at the dragons who were destroying their homes. In the past, all the dragons were living in fear of the humans, but for some reason, they decided to fight them instead. They were unexpectedly strong fighters, compared to the dragons she's seen 20 years ago. Yes, they were giant, they had fire and claws and all, but that doesn't mean they would evolve from weak, cowardly creatures, to strong, brave menaces immediately. She stood, at the edge of a cliff, thinking about how dragons felt when they fly high in the sky... when suddenly she had a great idea. What if... What if she could use her animus magic? She and her family had found out she had magic a few weeks ago. It was special, and powerful. What if, I can turn into a dragon, and convince them to stop fighting us? She'd tell the other humans about it, and transform! Obviously, she had to include that she can understand and speak Dragon fluently in the spell. And, I'll have to be able to shift back into a human... She thought about the spell for a moment, and decided that if she went near the entrance to their villages, she'll automatically shift back into a human. That's it... But what will make me shift into a dragon again? She thought about it for another moment, and came up with a solution. She rummaged through her pouches, until she found her beautiful amber necklace that she bought in a dealer's shop 30 years ago. She kept it, as she loved how it represented her so much. She was even named after the beautiful gemstone embedded in it. On the top half, there were shapes of dragons, soaring high above, while the bottom half had shapes of humans, pointing all their swords and spears towards them. In the middle of all that, was the beautiful amber stone, smooth and polished... Maybe I have to give this to my descendants... Maybe, even if the dragons stop attacking us, there will be other uses for this necklace.
She arrived at their mansion, which Amber had spawned for them for the second spell she cast. It was beautiful, made of white and black marble, with columns that looked like they had dragons wrapped around them, large halls... She snapped out of the trance immediately. Yes, it was beautiful, but she had lived here for a week already. She still can't resist admiring the colored glass roof, and the beautiful furniture... Stop thinking about it! She walked inside, and she saw her mother, sitting down on a couch, reading a scroll. "Hello, mother." She said, sitting down beside her. She thought for a moment of what to say, and said, "I'm going to cast another spell, mother. A big one, even bigger than my spell for the mansion."
"Oh?" She said, lowering the scroll and looking up at her. "What spell is it, dear? Any spell to defeat those annoying dragons prowling around human settlements all across the continent?"
"Kind of..." she hesitated. Should she actually tell her mother? Maybe not... Maybe half of the truth is enough. "I decided to make a spell that would make the dragons realize that they should stop killing humans."
"Oh! That's great, dear! You've grown to be such a creative person." Mother keeps talking to me like I'm still a child, even though I'm 40.
Amber walked outside, listening to the howling winds. She thought about what tribe she wanted to be. She's seen the dragons evolving, from all being the same, to 7 different tribes: a mountain tribe, a sea tribe, a night tribe, a swamp tribe, a rainforest tribe, a desert tribe, and a tundra tribe. She heard rumors that the night tribe has amazing powers that humans never even heard of, so she decided to go with that tribe. "I enchant this amber necklace, to make the human wearing it become a night dragon, however old the wearer is. The wearer will be able to become human again, by walking near the tunnel entrance of Curiousity, and become a dragon once again by wearing the necklace again. The wearer will be able to understand and speak Dragon fluently, even though the wearer can still speak human." Then, she looped it around her neck.
==Chapter 1==
5050 years later, in the present
Sylvia was a brave, kind, and excited person. She loved new discoveries. Like most humans, she LOVED treasure, but what she loved even more, was DRAGONS. She wasn't surprised when her mother, Ivy, said she loved dragons too. She taught her to draw dragons, and climb up trees like Wingwatchers, as she always said. At first, she didn't know what Wingwatchers were, until she explained that Wingwatchers were people who watched out for dragons in Valor. She never been to Valor, and her mother kept saying that it is too dangerous there. Her father, Leaf, agreed with Ivy. Sometimes, aunt Wren would come by, swooping by with her dragon friend, Sky. She loved it when Sky offered to let her ride on his back every time. She thought Sky was really cute, and tried really hard not to babble at him about how cute he was. Yes, he was GIAGANTIC, but Sylvia didn't mind.
"Sylvia!" her mother called from somewhere down below. "Come downstairs! We have exciting news for you!" Ooo, what is it? Did aunt Wren come? It sure sounds like a dragon is breathing nearby. She quickly ran down the stone steps, and found Ivy, Leaf, and Wren, along with Sky's snout trying to poke into the door. "I think I found something that you'll like nearby." Wren said, walking outside. We followed her to Sky, which we all climbed on him and held on. Wren once said that Sky had once been small enough for her as a 7 year old to hold. But that was almost unbelieveable, as he was now 10 times Sylvia's size. He flew confidently and easily, even with a whole family of humans on her back. Wren had taught them some of the dragon language, so she kind of understood some of the Dragon she said to Sky in their mixed up language. "Where are we going?" Sylvia asked them. "I thought I saw an ancient necklace of some sort, but I'm not sure." Sky said. "It had dragons and humans on it." Wren added. Oh, wow! I love dragons, and treasure! This might not be dragon treasure, but at least it's treasure with dragons on it!
They landed in a cave in the mountains, all holding up torches, except Sky, who was still sad about not having fire for all these years. She thought she saw a flash of gold, and turned around. It was a human sized amber necklace, she noticed. So, not dragon treasure. But then, she noticed that above the amber, there were embrodings of dragons soaring, with humans holding swords on the bottom. "Wait," Sky said. "I think, as a dragonet, I heard of an event called "the scorching", when the dragons killed so many humans, you all almost went extint! Maybe this was made by a human, in those times!" Sylvia shivered. She did NOT like the idea of humans killing dragons, or vice virsa. But she loved the necklace, so she took it anyway. There was a weird sensation when she touched it; it felt like the world was shifting around her, adding wrongness to the air. She decided she was not going to wear it yet, since it was plain CREEPY. She had to get used to this thing, and also this- this feeling; this weird sensation... It felt like the world is being ripped apart.
Sylvia searched the ground below, leaning over to see over Sky's long neck. She wanted to see if there were any hidden treasures below, like how they found the necklace. Nope, still nothing. I guess I'm giving up, and I want to sleep... She drifted off to sleep, with dreams of humans waving swords at dragons, dragons roaring in fear and anger, and the amber necklace, for the rest of the day. Sylvia was woken up by someone shaking her. Then she noticed it was Ivy. "Um, is there a problem?" she asked, yawning loudly. "Where's Sky?" her mother asked in panic. "Did he fly off or something? Ok, I know I shouldn't ask a sleeping child, but SERIOUSLY, where did he go?" "I have no idea." that was Wren. She strode up to Ivy, and patted her on her back. "If it was something important, he would have told me. He probably just went out to look for fruit, or found a butterfly and chased after it or something." Sylvia heard shuffling in the trees, and she stood still, thinking about all the possiblities. She slipped right past it being Sky, as he was enormous, and Sky's head poked out. "Sorry." he said, looking down at them. "I just wanted to get these." He lowered a talon, and in his claws were lots, and lots, of blueberries. Andddddd, a snail. He stared at it for a moment, and gently set it down on the forest floor. It wriggled away as fast as it can, which was... not that fast. They ate fruit together, and Sylvia wasn't so hungry, so she held up the necklace, stared at the faucets of the amber, and slowly, hesitantly, put it on.
The necklace thumped against her chest. Now, she felt that strange tugging of the world more than ever. And suddenly, she screamed. Every muscle in every part of her body screamed, as well as every bone. Her bones felt like they were about to crack, but they didn't. Her head hurt so badly. "Sylvia!" Ivy screamed. She closed her eyes. WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?!?She felt like she was about to collapse... but then the pain faded. She opened one eye, and opened the other. Everything was getting ever so smaller. Her bones felt like metal; they felt bigger and stronger. She looked down, and noticed that Wren, Leaf, and Ivy were so much smaller, and that she was now half as big as Sky. Her father took a step back, but her aunt and her mother slowly walked toward her. "Sylvia...?" Wren said, staring up at her. 
==Chapter 2==
"Hello? Wren? Mother? Father? Sky?" she had a higher pitched voice, but she still sounded like herself. Sky took a step forward. "You're- you're a dragon." She looked down at herself, and jumped back. She was a dragon, as dark as night, with a blue tint in her scales. She looked back, and saw wings folded behind her. She unfolded them, and saw that there were silver scales speckled like scattered stars. Am I a night dragon, like the ones mother described? But something new in her mind, told her that she was a dragon from a tribe called NightWings. Where ever that came from. she thought. "How did that happen?" she cried. She looked down, and saw the necklace dangling from her chest, or whatever dragons call it. (Note: I know it's the underbelly, but Sylvia doesn't.) She immediately took it off, waiting for something to happen. But nothing happened. She just stood there, as a dragon and all. She sighed, and put the necklace back on. It made no difference anyway.
