As Jeff looks around the room, trying to decide what to do, his eyes land on a 3D drawing of a feral Dragon, which hangs above his bed. The 16 year-old boy grins when a crazy idea pops into his mind, “it would be so cool if I could make the Dragon real,” he says to himself, “I always loved Dragons, and I always wished for Dragons to be real”. Jeff turns back to the program, “let’s see if there is an option to convert fantasy into reality,” he says to himself, after a while of scrolling through the various options, Jeff’s eyes widen and his grin widens, “there is! Sweet! My childhood dream of meeting a real Dragon will come true”.
The teen opens the option, a message pops up, telling him to scan whatever he wishes to convert. Jeff gets up from his seat and walks over to his bed, he climbs up and grabs the 3D drawing of the Dragon from his wall, he then walks back to his Laptop and sits down.
The Dragon has blue scales all over its body, except for its neck, chest, crotch and underside of its tail, which is at least half the length of the Dragon’s body size. It also has long white horns, which are bent slightly backwards, its wings are huge, but normal for the Dragon’s body size, the wings also are blue in color, just like the scales, the Dragon also has red eyes, and the pupils are slitted.
Jeff hold the picture up to his Laptop camera, after a few seconds his Laptop gives off a “ping” and a message appears, “scan successful”. The teen smiles, he puts the artwork on the desk and clicks on “continue”. The screen changes, showing Jeff the details of the scanned Dragon:

Jeff’s eyes widen, “holy… shit,” he says, “that is one huge and heavy beast. Hm… I will be unable to do the converting in my room, let alone house, but… I have an idea, I just hope it works”. The teen clicks on “save”, and the details of the Dragon he scanned is saved in the “files” folder, he then opens a other tab and soon finds what he is looking for: “transfer the Chronivac to a handheld device”.
Jeff takes out his phone and activates the Bluetooth, he then activates the Bluetooth on his laptop, and clicks on “continue”. A message pops up on his Laptop, “searching devices… device found: Jeff’s Phone. Do you wish to transfer the Chronivac to said device?”
Jeff clicks on “yes”, a new message pops up, “transfer in progress”, and a loading bar appears on both his phone and Laptop. The teen groans, “man… it’ll take almost four hours for the transfer to be completed,” he says, “welp… it’s a big program, plus I scanned the Dragon, so I guess I shouldn’t complain. I guess I’ll read a comic or watch some TV while I wait”.
After four hours, the transfer is completed, Jeff grabs his phone, “now, luckily it is still early afternoon,” he says, “so, I should have time to drive up to the woods, I know a clearing which should be large enough, plus it’s pretty isolated, so no one will notice anything”. Jeff grabs his keys and hurries into the garage, he gets into his Skoda Fabia and zooms off towards the forest, just outside of the city.
Jeff drives down the road, the closer he gets to the woods, the more excited he becomes. After a while, Jeff turns off the black tar of the main road, and onto a beaten track, the teen carefully and slowly drives down the path, until he reaches a spot where he can park the car, he then walks the rest of the way.
After ten minutes, Jeff finally reaches his destination: a huge clearing deep in the woods. Jeff smiles, “this is perfect,” he says to himself, he takes out his phone and opens the App, he then opens the Dragon’s file and a message pops up, “do you whish to progress? Please select “convert now” if so”, and Jeff does just that.
Jeff watches as the air in the middle of the clearing, seems to glimmer, just like a tar road on a hot summer’s day. The teen’s eyes widen, as he watches outline of something huge starting to slowly appear, slowly becoming more and more solid looking, soon Jeff’s eyes are as wide as saucers as the Dragon continues to look more and more alive.
After an hour, Jeff’s phone gives off a “ping”, a message appears, “convertation successful”, and the App closes itself.
Jeff look at the huge creature standing motionless, its eyes closed, in front of him. The teen gulps, feeling intimidated and a little terrified, starting to think that it was not such a brilliant idea.
Just as Jeff thinks this, the Dragon’s eyes open, the creature blinks a couple of times and looks around, as if confused, when its eyes land on the tiny human, the beast snarls, its snarl sounding like thunder. The Dragon takes on a defensive stance, unsure if the human wants to attack it, thinking quickly and hoping that the Dragon can understand him, Jeff says, “pl-please… Ice… pl-please don’t kill me… I… I can explain!”
Hearing the human say its name, the Dragon tilts its head, but keeps its stance, “how do you know my name? You better start explaining, human. Or else,” it says in a deep growling voice.
