Prologue

"And what are you, a human, going to do. I bet you could barely stand on your own feet in a fight. Let alone find anything you are looking for."

"I'm not human, Fang. Remember me? My name is Zaltana", she replied.

"No. It isn't possible! I killed you. You were dead. And you were a dragon!" Fang exclaimed, looking shocked.

"How else do you think you could hear me, or how else did you think I could hear you. I never 'died'. Let us just say I was…frozen, and then…transformed." Zaltana said.

"Fang, what is going on over hear and who is th-"

"Zaltana.", she interrupted.

"A human is talking. And I can hear her." A bigger dragon said, looking confused.

"Who might you be?" Zaltana asked.

"Dusky. How are you doing that?"

"Doing what?"

"Talking to me." Dusky said.

"I was once a dragon. But now I am in search of a crystal that will change me back, since some impolite company had to, well, try to kill me.

"The Golden Crystal, right?" Dusky replied, seeming to have known too much, which is the last thing Zaltana needed.

"Uhm…yeah, I think that's right. But how do you kno-", she was interrupted.

"That's not your business Zaltana. Just let me warn you, you may never find that crystal. It belongs to my great relatives, and it is hidden."

"I don't think I will have a problem finding it."

"Oh, really?" Fang said, "Are you sure. I'd be happy to make sure you never even live to see the crystal"

Zaltana ran. She would find the crystal. She knew she could, no matter how dangerous it would be. But first, she would have to return the Dragon Cove, and get help.
