The area surrounding her was cold and dank and the sound of water dripping from the ceiling above can be heard. Thus the echo from the heavy rain can be heard within the dark and cold caves. But she felt something more then the coldness of her new surrounding, she sense that she's not alone in the cave, someone is in there with her.
With her eyes shut tight, her naked body felt the cold air around her, but something was different, even with the cold air all around her, she felt something warm inside her something that makes her feel warm and likely what makes her alive. The sensation gets stronger with each passing moment, her body full of energy and life but something else was not right something that put another feeling into her mind. Images from the past somehow link into her mind, she see things that she never seen before. Places that she have never been too and face of people she have never met.
With each passing moment the image gets clearer, she found herself standing in front of a balcony window staring out to a floating city. Beside her was a young boy with violet hair stares back to her, holding a cat on his arms like a baby. Though this is just images but she felt somewhere deep inside her she knows who that boy is and within the room she sees three young strangers facing their destiny. The image went by showing her like a long lost tales trying to tell her something. The final image went pass her as she sees a young girl with violet hair get caught up in a strong force.
She is now fully conscious, her mind is now free but yet she can still recall the images she just encounters. She now hears voices whispering around her, at first they were very soft and calm. Even with the heavy sound made by the rain outside the cave she can hear ever single word they said.
"How's the human host?" a rough female voice called out. "She is still under our control" a male voice answered her.
"Will her clone be any resistance to us" another male voice asked. "No!" it replied.
"But the most important thing will she posses any memory from the host?" the female voice continue.
"I for one do not think that is possible since the other clone does not posses the memory from her host" said a male voice.
"If that is so, will she be ready my fellow dragons?" the female voice continues.
"Yes, with my soul spirit in her I have not only granted her a life but also part of my powers... but I'm afraid that I have used too much of my strength in... creating her" the breathing gets heavier. "She will posses some of her human characteristics because there... there is not enough time to complete the process the way it should be" the voice went silence.
Slowly the little girl opens her eyes, for the first sight she sees is a white dragon standing in front of her and surrounded by four other dragons each have different colors and shapes. In her mind, she seems to know them like they were somehow a part of her and the reason why they are all together there with her.
"My child we do not have time to explain everything to thee but thou have been summon here for a reason" said the female white dragon.
"For the wheal of fate is not by our side" said the yellow dragon.
"Thy quest is simple, destroy Fate and everything will be one again" said the blue dragon.
"But what must I do? Will you be zere for moi?" the little girl asked with an innocent voice.
"We can't, but we will be watching thee" answer the white dragon. "Do what thou must to complete this task"
Slowly the red dragon steps in front of the little girl. "Know this my young one, though thou are one of us but thee are still half mortal and thus thou will age like one"
"If thou ever encounter a girl who resemble thee, destroy her" the green dragon speaks out. "For she posses the greatest threat to us all"
"Take this! It will assist thee in thy quest" the white dragon open her paws and a bright light comes out from it. As the bright light dies out a small gem flout out from the dragon paw and hover in front of the girl. The girl opens her hand and the small gem fall into her hand, she felt an aurora of magic flow through her body when the gem touches her. Though she has only received the blue gem, show how she felt that she knows how to control the power it possessed.
"Fate is awakening. Now go my young one, we will be waiting for thee"
The dragons leave the sites leaving only the little girl and a sleeping black dragon behind.
It was hours later before the rain stop, for the first time the girl steps out from the cave as the sunlight touch her red eyes. With the bright sunlight shining down on her, she tries to make out her new surrounding. A small village lies in front of her and not far away is a ship harbor near the island. Walking down to the village and near to the ship she can see various tents set out on the beach side.
'What iz zis' thinking to herself, seeing people around her wearing strange cloths, slowly she approach the crowd undetected. Then she hears voices from the nearby tent, carefully she peaks into the tent "Hurry up will you" she watch one of the girl rushing her friend who's doing her facial makeup. She just stays in her hiding place studying on the two girls actions. They wear colorful costume on them and have weird design on their face.
"Hurry up already" the girl called out again. "Alright I ready" said her friend as they both leave the tent.
She waited for a moment making sure that it's safe before entering the tent. She search for a long time and finally found a red costume and some makeup on the table. After the put on the costume and makeup she looked into the mirror for the first time.
"Harlequin... Harle" she smiled to herself before her surrounding fade away.
*****
Harle wakes up from her dream breathing heavily "It'z ze same dream over and over again" Harle whisper. It was the same dream that occurred every night since the destruction of the Time Devourer.
She lookout to the window of her tent and see the hydra swamp. "It all over, why didn't they bring me along with zem?" she then recalls the final word of the black moon dragon before they departed into the portal.
"Thou are never a part of us, even if thou are the seventh dragons."
Harle looked into the swamp land unknowing to her that someone watching her from the shadows.
To be continue.
