I hope you like this story. I own nothing but the plotline.
"The storm continues to rage out of control. Ventuswill, have you not found a way yet." A deep voice said.
"No. For once I do not have the power to stop this." She said.
"This disturbance in the runes threatens not only the Kingdom of Norad but the entire world." Another voice said.
"I thought you enjoyed destruction Fiersome." Another chided .
"Destruction is part of the natural world Aquaticus. There is nothing natural about this imbalance." Fire flared around Fiersome's body. "It is his doing is it not?"
"It would appear so." Ventuswill said calmly.
"How? Did he not disappear to the Forest after the Earthmate defeated him?" The deep voice said.
"I thought so too Terrable." Ventuswill replied.
"He may have disappeared to the forest when defeated but he was still alive." Aquaticus explained. "His runes still existed in the Forest and now he has been gathering runes causing the imbalance of nature itself."
"We do not have the power to stop him." Ventuswill stated.
"If the Native Dragons do not have the power to fix this then who does?" Fiersome demanded.
Terrable sat back on his haunches and lifted his head. "The ones who have the power to change fate itself."
"The Earthmates." Aquaticus said.
"Why should we seek help from them?" Fiersome roared.
"They are the only ones to have defeated us in battle." Terrable said. "In a sense that makes their power greater than ours."
"Nothing could ever be stronger than a Native Dragon." Ventuswill snorted. "But I see your point. They do indeed possess incredible power."
"We must each choose a champion to assist in this battle." Terrable continued. "We will call to them in their dreams and bring them here. Are we in agreement?" The three others nodded in understanding. "Then let us begin."
A small farm on the outskirts of town.
A young man was sleeping fitfully in his bed. "Uhh." He moaned.
"Come with me." A voice in his dreams said. He followed without hesitation as he somehow recognized the voice.
A larger house in a different town.
A girl about ten years old was sleeping in a room next to her parents'. She was sleeping calmly until her dreams were invaded by fire.
"You know who I am child. Come with me." He said nothing more and guided her to the meeting place.
A large tree graced with flower blooms
A young blond was snoozing next to his flame haired wife. He muttered something in his sleep as his dream was invaded.
"It has been a while since we last met, come with me." The dragon appeared to swim off into the distance.
Castle in the middle of town.
A young lady was curled asleep in the arms of her husband as the storm raged outside. She shivered as she felt the presence in her dream.
"Frey. Frey." The dragon called.
"Venti. What are you doing? What's happening?"
"I will explain later but I need you to come with me." She guided Frey away from her own dream.
The meeting place.
All four chosen appeared in a flash of light in the middle of the circle of dragons.
"What?" The brunette boy appeared disoriented.
"Where's my mom and dad?" The little girl asked.
"Listen to me. All of you?" Terrable commanded.
The four looked around recognizing the dragons who stood before them
"Aquaticus, what is going on?" The blond asked.
"Patience Micah." He said.
"The four of us have called you here because we have encountered a crisis that we cannot solve alone." Terrable said.
"Venti what kind of crisis is it?" Frey asked.
Ventuswill raised her head. "An imbalance in the runes is causing chaos throughout the land and we are unable to stop it."
"What could cause an imbalance like that?" The boy asked.
"You and Frey should already know Raguna. You defeated him once before." Terrable said.
"Ethelberd." Raguna said through clenched teeth.
"He's dead." Frey said. "His body went to the Forest."
"Yes, it did." Venti agreed. "But he was alive. He has been slowly absorbing runes from inside the forest. His interference is now causing an imbalance in this world."
"In order to fight this threat we have decided that the ones best suited to this task are Earthmates." Aquaticus said.
"Raguna." Terrable said. "You are the chosen Earthmate. Without a doubt your power is the strongest."
"Aria" Fiersome's voice boomed. "You may be young but you have more courage than those twice your age."
"Micah." Aquaticus addressed him. "You may not be an Earthmate but your courage and determination shows through. You united the humans and Univer and faced me when I opposed it." Micah blushed slightly.
"Frey." Ventuswill said. "You freed the guardians, stopped Ethelberd from destroying Selphia and you learned the rune spheres' true purpose and allowed me to come back. There is no one else I'd choose for this task."
"What will we do now?" Aria asked.
"You will go to the town of Selphia tomorrow. We will take you close and drop you off." Aquaticus said.
"Once you arrive I will explain further." Ventuswill finished.
"Go and prepare yourselves for the journey. You will know where to meet us when the time comes." Terrable said.
The dream vanished and the four returned to their own dreams. In the morning they would prepare for the journey.
