Prologue:
Humans and animals weren't the only ones created when the Earth was formed. With them came many hidden races including: Fairies, Dragons, Pixies, Elves, Dwarves, Giants, Trolls, Shape-Shifters, Vampires, and Werewolves and several different mixes of the races. Each of these races lived in a different realm, hidden from the human world. Also created at this time were the Earth's elements; those elements being: Earth, Air, Water/Ice and Fire. Now in the beginning no beings were needed to keep the elements at bay. No beings were needed either to keep them safe from human harm. But as the centuries passed it became more and more needed as the humans affected the environment greatly. That is when the Element Dragons were born. Who are the Element Dragons you might ask? They work as the Earth's council. Each Element Dragon controls one or two elements. Each Element Dragon (if they are Fairy/Demon/Vampire/Elven) is born as a normal human looking child. When they reached a certain age they would notice a birthmark in the shape of their element on their body. Once they did, one of the other Element Dragons from the realm would locate them, train them and show them their way of life. The first three Element Dragons created were: Alianorra- Half Demon/Half Fairy (Nicknamed Norra; Controlled Earth/Air), Crystal- Last Female Dragon (Controlled Water/Ice), and Brownie- A Shape Shifter who mainly stayed in Dog form (Controlled Fire). In order to understand the Element Dragon's history clearly, you must understand their story. We'll start with Norra in the year 2002 when she was seven in human years at the time.
Chapter 1: Surprising Rescue
Norra sat up in her bed. She had been having trouble falling and staying asleep the past couple of days. But this time something was different. It was like a part of her knew something was going to go wrong. And that part of her was usually right. Suddenly she smelled it; smoke. She ran over to her door and opened the door. Her dog Brownie perked her ears up in danger. She ran over to Norra pulling her back. Outside her door flames blazed around her home. She yelled for her mother, but there was no sign of her or her father. Suddenly a 6 foot dragon swooped into her home, grabbing the child and her dog with her large claws. Norra's eyes widened and she screamed in terror. "LET GO OF ME!" The dragon sighed as smoke poured out its nostrils. "You should be glad I saved you." The dragon replied. Norra looked back to the ground as the night sky filled with burning embers and smoke rising from her collapsing home. "M-Mom...D-Dad..." Tears slid down Norra's face. The dragon looked to the crying girl. "I'm very sorry about your family, my name is Crystal. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Norra looked to Crystal with a sniffle. "You're…a dragon. What do you want with me? Why did you save me?" Crystal smiled softly. "I knew you'd have many questions. You'll get your answers soon enough." Moments passed in awkward silence until they reached a large dark cave. "Here we are; my home." Crystal smiled to the girl as she dropped Norra and Brownie down carefully. Norra looked about the large cave. It gleamed with crystals at its entrance. As the two walked inside, an aroma of warm tea filled the air.
