I then typed his real name in {JACOB CHARLES MELENDEZ} and pressed {ENTER} and it began to load. {5 people found} was shown as I excitedly pressed on the people below, for some reason everyone that was shown were old people except for the first guy who looked to be only 6 years old. I then started pressing on them, scanning through them looking for my brother. I finally found my brother, he was second to last on the chart and pressed on him. His picture was of a Middle Ages man who looked well past 80 years old with a disheveled look and eyes that would stare into space. He wore old baggy jeans, an old blue shirt that was loosing its color and was bare foot sitting on a rocking chair.

I stared at the screen in astonishment and pity. After some time I scrolled to the bottom of the page where I saw a button that said {SELECT PERSON FOR PACK} and quickly pressed it. The screen began to load before another option showed itself. {CHOOSE SPECIES} was shown as two options appeared before me, one was the night fury and the other the light fury.
I then thought -well we are related so we need to be of the same species- as I pressed the night fury and scrolled to the bottom of the page and again pressed {CHOOSE}. The screen then began to load and a golden shining crown appeared floating on my head, the crown was slowly turning counterclockwise. I was shocked before right next to me something began to materialize. The feet were first then the baggy jeans and later the old blue shirt. The last thing to apear was the his head. He still looked exactly like what I remembered. "Jay?" I muttered as a tear began to fall down my face.
Jay slowly began to move his eyes and soon they fluttered open. He was shocked with his new surroundings and started to look around. He turned his head left then right and froze. His eyes widened in shock as he muttered in disbelief "Amanda?". "JAY" said Amanda as she floated over to him and hugged him. With the force of the hug they began flouting backwards. Jay was stiff and was in shock, he pushed Amanda away and began staring at her face. "Amanda, is that really you?" He said in disbelief before looking at the hot pink room around him. "Is this a dream?" He said before looking at Amanda and touching her face.
Amanda Looked at him with eyes full of tears and said "this is not a dream, I brought you here". Jay's eyes began to tear up as he said "even if this is a dream I don't want to wake up". After that they began talking about Jays life and how he lived for quite some time until Jay finally asked "wait so why did you bring me here?". Amanda looked at him and said with a grin on her face "I wanted you to be reincarnated with me, will you except?". Jay was shocked and said with astonishment "we can be reincarnated??" I laughed and said "yes, will you join me on my new adventure??".
Jay smiled and said "of course I would be happy to accept your invitation", as he said this a light pale blue screen appeared before him. Text soon appeared after in a deeper sea blue color {YOU HAVE EXCEPTED THE PACK INVITATION, COMMENCING LINKING}. I was shocked as I thought he might not get a screen or the screen would be the same color as mine. "Wow" we both said as we looked at the screen. The screens words then began to fade and new ones took its place {WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY WITH YOUR FIXED GENDER OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE IT?} and under that was {MALE OR FEMALE}.
Jay without hesitation clicked {MALE} and the screens bagan to load. Then the male night fury materialized and the customization options appeared. Jay looked at me and said with surprise "are we going to be dragons???" As he pointed at the night fury on the customization screen. I grinned and said "yes we are, are you ok with that?" Jay smiled with delight then said "hell ya, this will be fun". He then began to customize his dragon. Before long as he was almost done, his dragon had light blue eyes and a blue tinted body like my own. He then looked at me and said "can I see your dragon?" I smiled and brought my light green screen in front of him, showing him my fully customized dragon.
When Jay had been summoned my screen had went back to normal with my dragon on the customization screen. "Wow" said Jay as he saw the constellations on my dragons wings and tail fins then he looked at me and said "can you do that for my wings and tail fins??". I smiled once again and said "yes I can". The constellation placement took about 3-4 hours before it was finished. Jay then pressed the {NEXT} button on the bottom left of the screen. The screen loaded and an age scale like the one I was presented with before appeared. Jay looked at me and said "what age did you choose?". I smiled and said "18" and he immediately put his age to 8.
I was shocked with his decision and asked "why did you put your age to be so young??" And he replied with a sad expression along with a smile and said "I wanted to be your younger brother again". I was silent with his reply and slowly hugged him, I knew this wouldn't make up for the lost time but I wanted to comfort him, if just a little. We hugged for what seemed like a few minutes but then I put my hands on his shoulders and pushed him back as I looked at his face. I stared at my brother's eyes and said "are you ready?" With a big grin on my face. Jay replied with a big grin of his own and I then pressed the {DONE} button.
The screen then began to load and my excitement grew. I looked over at Jay and could see the excitement plastered on his face, I gave a big grin before looking at the screen again. I was expecting to be taken into the world right away but the screen, after loading for a minute or two stopped and words replaced the spinning circle. The words were {YOU HAVE SELECTED THE PACK ADDITION, PLEASE CHOOSE ALL MEMBERS BEFORE LEAVING}.
I froze then looked at Jay and said "do you have anyone in mind for pack members??" Jay then crossed his legs and put his hand to his chin, he scrunched his nose and puffed out his lips. He looked like he was in deep thought before he moved his hand, made a fist with it and slammed it on his other hand before saying with excitement "ya, there was this guy I knew back in college, he was really nice and we became friends pretty fast, though we lost contact after college as he moved away". I then said "perfect, what's his name, and make it his full name please" as I taped the screen making the words disappear and my dragon appear again.
What surprised me was that there was naw a lock emoji (🔒) on the dragon making everything grey. When I tapped it nothing changed, I then thought -wow it locked my dragon- before I looked at the top right corner again. The words had changed and the text became the same color as all the rest, the text was {CHOOSE CLAN MEMBER}. I clicked on it and the same interface was shown, I then looked at Jay who was staring at the light green screen and said "ahem… the name" as I nudged him with my shoulder. Jay jolted then said "oh ya let me think really quick". Jay then sat there for some time as I waited, after some time Jay then snapped his fingers and said "right, his name was Noah Albie white". I smiled and typed in the name and pressed {ENTER}, the screen then loaded and the screen showed {2 people found}.
I was momentarily taken aback as I thought there would be more. I then looked at Jay and tapped the first person. He was wearing an old white t-shirt and old faded blue jeans.

As I read I voiced my thoughts and said with a chuckle "oh, you made a good friend didn't you". Jay smiled and said "yah, he was a good person and an even better friend". With this I scrolled to the bottom of the page and tapped the {SELECT PERSON FOR PACK} button and the screen began to load once again but quickly stopped and words appeared on the screen. The words were {CHOOSE SPECIES} and two options appeared before me once again. I looked at Jay and said while hiding the text on my light green screen "right or left?".
Jay looked at me with a raised eyebrow and said with uncertainty in his voice "right?" I grinned in response and tapped on the light fury. I then looked at him dead in the eyes and said "it's not my fault if he doesn't like it" then I grinned with my eyebrows raised, holding back a laugh. Jay looked at me confused before we both noticed the person slowly materializing before us. He too was wearing the same clothes as in his picture just as Jay was.
Before he was done materializing I looked at Jay and said "you ready?" With a hint of concern in my voice. Jay nodded in response and we both looked on eagerly waiting for our new friend to awaken. When Noah first opened his eyes he has a similar reaction to Jay as they both looked right before left and froze. I chuckled at this and said "hallo Noah, I have chosen you based off of Jays recommendation. Would you like to reincarnate with us?". With this everything went silent as Jay turned back to look at me with a questioning look on his face.
"What?" I said as I raised my eyebrow in confusion. Jay sighed and said "come on Amy, have some compassion, he probably just died and is confused, you should at least let him catch his breath and explain the situation to him". I widened my eyes in embarrassment and looked away from the people in front of me. "Sorry" I whispered under my breath as my face flushed bright red. Jay sighed and turned his head to look at the confused Noahs face. "Hi Noah" said Jay with a small smile slowly spreading across his face.
Noah was silent as he stared at the two people in front of him before saying with a hint of questioning in his voice "w-who are you?". Jay froze for a second before he looked at his hands that were no longer wrinkled and said with a smile "it's me Jacob, from college". Noah was taken aback by this statement and said "Jacob?? Is that really??" Jay nodded then continued "my sister here" as he moved his hand over showing me in all my flushed glory, he continued "has been given an opportunity and would like you to join us, will you except??". Noah thought for a second then said with a questioning tone "what kind of opportunity would I be getting here??"
Jay thought for a second then with a mysterious tone he said "the opportunity you would be getting would be your chance at a second life, or as many call it a chance to reincarnate". Noah was shocked then with disbelief he said "I can reincarnate??" In response Jay nodded his head. Noah with widened eyes said "if I except, what will happen??". Jay then said with a wide smile "a colored screen will appear before you and you will get to customize your next life".
Noah was shocked then after thinking for a minute he said "ok, I except" and with this a pale yellow screen appeared before him. Noah jolted back, surprised by the sudden materialization of the screen. Both me and Jay then said "wow, you got yellow" as we moved closer to read the text that was appearing. The text said "YOU HAVE EXCEPTED THE PACK INVITATION, COMMENCING LINKING}. The text was a deep yellow color and just like what did for Jay it gave options after the original text faded. What replaced the words was {WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY WITH YOUR FIXED GENDER OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE IT?} and under that was {MALE OR FEMALE}.
And of course just as Jay did he too quickly pressed {MALE} and the screen began to load before a customization screen showing a white dragon with a triangular tail shape along with triangular tail fins appeared. Noah was shocked then looked at Jay and I with his mouth open and one his eyebrows raised. "What is this??" He said as he pointed at the pale yellow screen before him. Jay looked at me and I smiled in response then said "it's a dragon, we're going to be dragons". Noah then looked back at his slim and slightly muscular white dragon that looked as smooth as silk and said "ok as long as I'm not the only one with this…. Female looking dragon".
I laughed and Jay looked away with a slight smile tugging at his lips. As Noah started to customize his white dragon I quickly asked a question "Hay Noah, do you know of anyone you would want to be reincarnated with?". Noah then looked at me and said with a flat tone "well ya, my little sister, why??". I smiled and quickly pulled up my light green screen and went to {CHOOSE CLAN MEMBER} and left the confused Noah behind as I quickly typed in the name of his sister that I remembered {NORA ZINNIA WHITE} then tapped {ENTER} and the screen once again began to load.
{6 people found} was shown on the screen along pictures form infants to the elderly. I was surprised for a split second then I began searching through them. After some time I finally found her, she was the last one shown. She was in a light blue prom dress with wavy auburn brown hair and grays appearing here and there, she was pretty but old.
