"Hurry UP, you guys!!!" Naidra sprinted around the corner of her house, followed by her three best friends, Kanderon, Elyos, and Xenoz.

"It would help if you SLOWED DOWN!!!!" Elyos gasped between breaths.

Finally, Naidra stopped, and the group of them doubled over, gasping. Xenoz looked up at his twin (Elyos), and said; "It is at a time such as this that I wish I could shift forms. It would be most helpful."

With a small smile, Elyos answered, "And many days I wish I could see a person's soul. But sadly, we cannot switch our gifts. Such a shame."

"I think we all wish we could switch 'gifts', but we can't. Oh well." snapped Kanderon, flaring his wings angrily.

"True," said Naidra, "But that's the reason we're friends. You can fly, Xenoz sees auras, Elyos can change forms, and I can change how I look. Together, we are amazing." She smiled, remembering the story of how her people came into existence.

A little more than one hundred years ago, humans with 'strange' abilities started to pop up all over Earth. These people were shunned and harassed by society. Soon, there were so many people with powers that world leaders feared a rebellion. They got together, and hatched a plan. Everyone with 'gifts' were all brought to Japan, and were sent to a new, uninhabited planet. The people named the planet Elasera, and they became the Elaserians. They started their lives from scratch. Determined not to destroy this planet like the humans (they don't consider themselves human now) did, they tamed some of the wild creatures living there. There was no electricity or technology, but the Elaserians thrived. There new home was perfect.

Still smiling, Naidra turned her head to the sky and whistled. Almost immediately, a shadow appeared over the four friends, and a great creature landed in front of them. It was a great gold dragon.

"Hello, Nathaniel. You ready to go?" Naidra asked.

Nathaniel snorted. His rider could be so stupid sometimes. "Of course I am ready. When am I not? Besides, we were meant to race." He answered.

Just then, a mob of Elaserians ran over the hill, cheering. Elyos and Xenoz cracked identical grins. Kanderon groomed his wings. Naidra placed a delicate hand on her dragon's flank, and looked at her friends. They're making a big sacrifice, coming with me and Nat. she thought. They're true friends.

Slowly, a big stone egg thing came floating into view. It stopped above the small group, and opened. A shaft of golden light cascaded around them, and lifted them up into the 'egg'. Looking down, Naidra saw her mother, father, and little sister. She waved, and they waved back. Good bye, good bye! I'll come back one day! She thought, then the egg closed, throwing the friend into darkness.
