WARNING: READING THIS DOCUMENT MAY ALTER TIME AND SPACE WHICH COULD END LIFE AS WE KNOW IT!

As your reading this, you maybe be altering time itself and creating a space-time paradox, ending life as we know it. Well, there's a good chance that mine is very different from yours; But I'm getting ahead of my self. This document contains many things, one of them being a very strange computer and confusing time-related things. Do not continue past this paragraph if you are scared or frighten to alter time, get confused easily, or think this 'story' so far has been boring. Don't say I didn't warn you.....

It began only a few weeks ago, or what seemed to be a few weeks ago for me. I was chatting with a few of  my friends online when a few of my keys broke. Again.

"Ugh, they broke again! Dad, why can't I get a new computer with better key?" I shouted, trying my best to throw the piece of junk that was my keyboard.

"Because, It's perfectly fine! You just hit the keys to hard!" Yelled my Dad, his voice echoing across the house hold.

"Ugh." I grunted again as I went to find some more spare keys.

Dad had to keep buying truck-loads of the blasted plastic ones even though he refused to buy any better ones. But that wasn't even half of it. The machine that his Dad called a computer had a billion other things wrong with it, the worst of them was that every time he came on, the date was something random, like 1932 or some thing like that. It made it even harder to chat with his friends since I had to go through a dozen settings to change the time back to the real date. But sometimes it went past today's date and was shown to be set for 50 in the future or some ridiculous number. I checked the date to see what time it was. Today it was 3:41, on February 14th, 2014.

"Useless thing, wrong time again!" Again, I wanted to smash the blasted thing until it was nothing but computer dust.

Instead, I went into chat hoping I could talk to somebody to help vent out my anger.

An automated voice pronounced that I had successfully joined a chat.

[Riddick] is now talking to: [Jake]
R: Uhhh, hello?
J: S'up.
J: How's it going?
R: Pretty decent, but I had to replace the keys on my board because they broke.
J: Broke? As in got jammed or stuck?
R: No, as in snapped in half.
J: Can you run that by me again? You 'Broke' your keys.
R: Yes, can't you read?
J: No need to get harsh bro.
R: Sorry, but my Dad won't buy any new keyboards and keeps getting me the cheap plastic keys. ):<
J: Okay..... What do you mean by 'cheap plastic'?
R: They newer ones are much more durable, being made from metal and all the fancy stuff.
J: Where do you live? And why do you need metal keys?
R: Ummm.. In Denver, Colorado.
J: Really? Same here!
J: Where at? :D
R: Well, not really in Denver. I live near the Cave of Winds, which is about 75 miles from Denver.
J: Dang, must be rich to live there! I heard they had awesome views!
R: Not really, the place was sorta run-down when we found it.
J: Dude, the place is like brand new!
R: Not where I am. It's all run-down and stuff.
J: Dude, They're still new!
R: If you were alive like 3 decades ago!
J: Pffft.
R: What?
J: Makes sense.
R: What does?
J: Nothing. Just a stupid idea.
J: Here's a better one anyways.
R: Let's hear it!
J: Compare popular spots.
R: What? Why?
J: To see if there is any major differences.
R: Fine. Do you know where Bluff's national park?
J: Yeah.
R: How about... Little Italy pizzeria?
R: Darn... I know!
J: What?
R: The Crystal Caves!
J: Where's that?
R: Near the heart of the mountain. You can enter it via the Cave of Wings.
R: *Winds. Not wings.
J: Never heard of it. But It would be cool to be able to fly.
R: You can't fly?
J: No, can't afford a helicopter or plane.
R: Oh, I uhhh, see.
J: You can?
R: Yep. Do it all the time.
R: The views are really nice.
J: Again, you are so lucky!
R: Eh.
R: Back to the topic now.
J: Oh.
J: Right.
R: You have google maps right?
J: Yeah.
R: How many houses are standing?
J: I think about 30, all new.
R: Somethings off then. Everything you told me hasn't matched up with what I know
J: Pfft, just now noticing? I noticed the second you told me about your 'run-down' house.
R: Whatever.
R: Do you have access to a ride?
J: Yep, have a motorcycle all prepped just in case.
R: In case of what?
J: You know, a fire or earthquake or something.
R: Couldn't you just- Never mind.
J: Okay... >: ?
R: Don't make that face at me! >:(
J: Nya!  Anyways, I looked up the Cave of Winds and found out that they've been getting some interference while exploring it.
R: It's the Crystals, they do that a lot.
J: Really? The excavation just started a few weeks ago. So how do you know?
R: Dunno. I've been down there myself on a field trips like moths ago.
J: Ugh, you're confusing me again.
R: I'll send you the general location of it in the mountains. I'm on my old 6G Iphone.
J: 6G? How'd you get that? That's like suppose to be released in like 10 years!
R: You sure you're not living under a rock?
J: Pretty sure. Just send me the directions!
R: Fine.
R: They should change to give you directions from your present location.
J: Got it.
J: Dang, about an hour in a half away.
J: Should be able to cut that time in half.
R: How?
J: Being the son of a VIP in town can have it's perks.
R: Don't you me VID?
J: Uhhh, no. Why?
R: Nvm.
J: Won't be able to message you much while riding.
R: 'kay. Be back on soon.
J: Don't worry, I won't close the tab.
R: Kay.
[Jake] is now AFK.

Riddick then switched back to his normal browser, closing the Google map tab and quite a few others. He breathed in a long breath then blew out, his breath making the screen sizzle a bit. He looked at his messed-up clock at it said he had been chatting for about an hour. He got up carefully, not wanting to send the comfy chair into the brick wall again. There was still a dent from last time, and his Dad wouldn't stop reminding him about it. He went over to the freezer fridge and selected a packet of frozen shrimp. He sliced it one with his finger and ate the shrimp raw. They were a bit bad at first but his breath soon warmed it up and tasted delicious.

"Moist and delicious!" He proclaimed,he sharp teeth making short work of the shrimp.  It was an old quote from a game his father had shown few years ago. He said the only reason he had kept because it could play all of the old games seen in the museums he's been to. He then resumed eating the shrimp, frowning when he had ran out. He threw the bag away and went over to the 60-inch TV and plugged in a copy of season 6 of Dr. Who. The 'Doctor' was currently a man named Matt Smith. For some reason, he seemed to like him the best. He watched about half an episode when his Computer sent out an alert.

He switched back on the screen and opened up his chat yet again.

[Jake] has returned! Resuming chat....
R: Welcome back!
J: Uhhh, thanks?
R: Did you arrive safely?
J: Yep, although there was a bit of a commotion as i tried to get in the excavation site. But as soon as I told them who my Dad was, they let me in.
R: Who is your Dad anyways?
J: No one important.
R: He must be if they let you in.
J: Okay, so he's is important.
R: Just how much?
J: Alot. If you knew who my Father was, You'd freak out.
R: C'mon! Tell me!
J: Latter.
J: So where's the entrance?
R: should be about 1/4 of a mile from your location. If your dad so Important, tell them to start digging there. You'll know when your watch or something starts to freak out.
J: BRB
R: This should be interesting. Wounder why they are just now finding it.
R: Dang. Just realized something.
J: Back, wait what?
R: What's the time and date there?
J: 5:11, February 14th, 2014.
R: Just remembered something from my history lesson.
J: History? This is just today!
R: Should've figured this out a bit ago!
J: Wait, you don't mean?
R: Yes. I do.
J: Figures, guess we've been thinking the same thing the whole time.
J: Also, I got the workers to start excavating the spot you had shown me.
R: Good, it shouldn't take long. The entrance to the cave was made out of weaker stone then the rest of it.
R: Guess the put it like that in a hurry or something.
J: Who did?
R: Nobody, well maybe something. Idk.
J: Again, confusing.
R: How much have they cleared? I don't know how strong those machines are.
J: Best in the business! The interference is getting stronger.
R: Alright, once small things like PDAs and walkie-talkies start to sizzle and explode, your there.
J: Wait, things start to explode? But people could lose a hand or part of a leg!
R: Forgot that you guys are so fragile.
J: What? You have some armor or something you wear all the time?
R: Maybe. Why?
J: Well, you said that "we were so fragile"
J: As if you were different!
R: Well I am.
J: Besides your 'armor' how else-
J: THEY BROKE THROUGH!
R: AWESOME!
J: WOAH! THERE ARE HUGE FRIGGIN CRYSTALS OF ALL DIFFERENT COLORS EVERYWHERE!
R: I know! IT IS SO AWESOME!
J: I'm still confused how you know all this BUT IT IS STILL AWESOME!
R: Wait, there are eggs in here next to the crystals!
J: Eggs?
R: Does you "5G" phone have a camera?
J: Yes, all the models of the Iphone do.
R: Good. Activate a the camera and I can do the rest.
J: Really? Isn't that hacking or something?
R: No, it's a feature that came with the 8G Iphone and later.
J: Good, now I have something to look forward to.
R: Give me a minute. And go look around or something while I activate the controls.

Riddick then went over to his 12G Iphone and set it on his PC. The phone instantly connected and he started the process. It would take about 2 minutes since it had to connect to an older model. While the Iphones were linking, he went on Google and searched up "Humans in 2014" A ton of pictures came up, various photos showing up. Some were shown in shorts and T-shirts and some in Parkas. He didn't understand why there was so many different kinds of humans. Some where brown and black while others were white or pink. Then there was the different languages. So many of them! Latin, Greek, Chinese, Mandarin, German, and English. His favorite was English since nearly everybody knew it. But almost no-one knew the other ones since they mostly died out about a hundred years ago or so. He never did pay much attention to History much but when they started talking about The Crystal Cave in the Cave of Winds near his house he got interested. It was there when-

"WOAH" shouted a voice, making Riddick jump up.

"Who's this?" Asked Riddick, recovering from his scare.

"Jake, remember? You linked our phones!" The sound of a hand making contact with someone's face was heard.

"Forgot. Show me the eggs and the crystals."

Jake did as he was told and held up his phone, having to dim the camera because of the flood-lights from the excavation crew setting up camp.

"Dang, these things are huge! How do you think they were formed? Must've been under special conditions since crystals don't normally form like this."

Jake put his hand on a crystal that had sprout from either the wall or ceiling and went into both. It looked like a highly-unusual support beam to keep the room from collapsing. He then peered around the cavern, the crystals varying from white to dark black,yellow and green,and to blue and red. But what really caught his eye is that in the center was a pillar of crystals, each of its 6 sides made out of a stripe of the color crystal from across the room. There was what appeared to be an egg, but it wouldn't stay the same colored; it was if the colors were fighting for control over the single egg. He reached out to touch when Riddick warned him.

"I wouldn't do that. Well, I couldn't since I'm not there but-"

"Riddick, your ranting."

"Oh, sorry. Let's just say you look around a bit longer before you touch that egg."

"So these are eggs?" Jake pointing in the direction of the closest egg where Riddick could see.

"Yep. And can you guess what this is?"

"Hmmmm... Heat-generating crystals, eggs, supports... It's a hatchery!" He shouted out-loud, some of the excavation workers staring at him in surprise.

"What is?" A rather large, burly man walked over to Jake and stared down at him.

"Well?" The man asked again, his eye brow raised.

"You see, uhh, this place is. It's a hatchery for some type of reptile." Jake said quickly, embarrassed that he had shouted so loudly.

"So your sayin' that this place is where a bunch of lizard are going to hatch?" The large burly man then crossed his arms, not sure if he believed the boy.

"Uhhh, yes sir." Jake looked down at his feet, not knowing what to do next.

"Ha ha ha!" The man then laughed a hearty laugh. "Just making sure. I myself was thinking the same thing. I thought, 'Dang, who or what would go through all this trouble to hid a few dozen eggs?' Then I realized that these must be thousands of years old and then you shouted out." The Man unfolded his arms and place his palm and Jake's shoulder. "It's fine."

"Okay, that's good to know. So what should we do now?"

"Well, since you told us about this spot, you should be the first one to touch one of these egg and see what happens."

"You mean, to see if there are any traps of anything?"

"I guess you could say that.." The man looked around, as if he were now afraid of the room.

"Fine." He walked over to the egg in the center, it's constantly-changing colors mesmerizing him.

"Jake, Don't do it! We don't know what excatly happened there when-"  Riddick started to tell him from inside his pocket but was cut off when Jake's hand made contact with the Egg.

The egg emitted a light so bright, that everyone in the room and the excavation tunnels far behind them and to turn away and close their eyes. When the light subsided after a few minutes, the Egg had finally settled on a single color: Pure White.  The light from the now-white egg seemed to have sent a signal to the crystals and a beam of that color started to flow into the eggs besides them.

Many of the men in the room started to flee, while Jake and the Man he had talked to earlier stood their ground. Their courage was soon rewarded when the eggs start to rock back and forth, the shells starting to crack. Soon, the flowing from the crystals stopped and all at once, the egg shell exploded; sending blobs of goo and shell fragments flying every where. It was only then the Man beside him moved to flick off a bit of red goo landed on his forearm.

"Disgusting. But that was pretty cool." He then stared around the room, looking like some 4-year old with a paint ball gun had went crazy. He went around to were the closest mini-explosion had been and was surprised to see a small lump moving around in the remaining goo. He picked up a small shard of rock and set to work clearing out the goo around the moving lump. He dropped the piece of rock when he saw what the moving lump really was, and dropped his stone in which the Man ran over to him to see what was wrong.

"What wro-What is that thing!" The Man poked cautiously it with his tape measure which had taken out of his pocket. The scaly lump then hissed at him and shook it's back to reveal tiny wings.

It then hoped down and traveled to the center of the room where the other scaly lumps were gathering. They followed the scaly lump whose true color was blue to the center of the room, staring at now-white egg on the pedestal. Them, as if on cue, the Egg started to crack, beams of light escaping from the inside.

"Shield your eyes!" Shouted a muffled voice coming from Jake's pocket, but he was not heard quick enough as Jake and the Man beside him were engulfed in light.

Riddick's screen went dark and then reverted to normal, the connection between the two devices had been severed. He now had no idea what was going to happen to Jake, but he hoped he would be okay. He went back over to his TV and flicked it on to the News, where a recent discovery had taken place. There a was a reporter and Archaeologist standing in front of The Crystal Cave. The camera then zoomed in on the Archaeologist as he began to speak.

"Today while My team and I were examining the Crystal Caves today, I came across a particularly strange thing encased in stone near the Pedestal.  After I had broken the stone open, there was what appeared to be an old device. It surprisingly worked after being plugged into spare charger cord someone had on them. When it turned on, it asked for a new date to be entered but I hit cancel and I was flaberghasted by what was on the screen. The date was February 14, 2014! It also said: New message: " The Archeaologist threw his hands up in the air in mock surprise. The invisible crowd then gasped and gossiped on what that could mean.

"So what does that mean?" Asked the Reporter, her legs crossed.

"It means that the humans were much more advanced then we thought, although we don't know how advanced. Many religious followers will now question there religions past 'history' as we have been taught that the Humans died off long ago and us Dragons became the dominate species. But what is also strange is that is the same date that some of the most powerful dragons, two to be precise, came into power."

"So, what do you think happened?"

"I honestly don't know..." The Archaeologist trailed off as commercials came on but Riddick quickly shut off his TV and ran over to his Computer. He turned on his monitor and opened up Google. Searching up: Most powerful dragons, he got about 300 results. Thankfully, the top 5 were actual history sites and had back-ground information. He clicked on the first entry.

"Arakain's origin of birth is currently Unknown, His first appearance was along side Xanros when they first emerged from there 'deep slumber' in the Crystal Caves. They then started what still is the Golden Dragon Age. From then on, all Dragons of every color worked together what to remove all Human pollution which they had thought was irreversible..." Riddick's jaw was now wide open, for now he knew what had happened with Jake and the White egg...
Here's a story containing various things, one of them is a 'boy' who keeps breaking his keyboard and his computer which can't seem to get the date right.

It also holds a dangerous secret which may alter time itself if I tell you. So you'll have to read this article to find out.

Alright guys, I consider the story finished but I might expand it later on.
