Te Marama's Metamorphosis Writing

 Yet another thing we did for writing this week was to imagine that we had undergone metamorphosis. 

We had to pretend we had woken up one morning and discovered we had changed. It would be like going to sleep as a caterpillar and waking up as a butterfly. We had to write about what our new body was like and what we could do. I chose to : be a dragon

Here is my work.

Dragon Or Human?

One Stormy night there was lightning and thunder and I was a photographer and I was on vacation in Hawaii. This was the perfect chance to take some good photos. As I was jogging to the perfect spot outside my luxurious home. I had been struck by lightning but the lightning was different. Was it a hit? Was it the power? Or was it something else? I had enough energy to drop myself back into my home.

The next morning I arose to a horrifying sight. I didn’t have skin. I had black and red scales all over me. I was so horrified that I locked all the doors and windows  and pulled all the curtains shut on the doors and the windows, flicked off all the lights and then I grabbed all of my favourite snacks and drinks and I locked myself in my room watching some movies. 

A couple hours passed and I flicked my room lights back on. I saw a big tail and yelled, “I don’t think I'm a snake anymore I think I’m turning into a dragon!” I sat down and started crying and said to myself “Am I gonna be like this forever?” Without thinking I ran outside.

As I ran outside someone saw me. They passed out and I then I had a taste for blood. Once again without thinking I ate them. It was grossly yum. Well, I was turning into a dragon. Something bad was happening to me. I ran back inside.

Something in my mind was saying something that said, “Your real self is coming to life.” It repeated that 5 times then it disappeared. I started turning into a big dragon. My memories were fading away and the only thing I could remember was being a dragon meant I had powers: fire, lava, teleporting and bombing.  

So I destroyed all of Hawaii and ate everyone and that was my new home.  

I lived in their volcano and I lived forever. To this day I am still alive as a dragon.

The End
