Chapter 7: The Four Legendary Dragons

Marina looked up at Vatten. "I have just a few other questions."

"Ask away."
" First, where should I go? I'm homeless and I can't return to my village."
"Well, I suggest you go to the coast, west. There's a small village called Sahil there that I used to live by. Kind people, not that they ever saw me. But live under a false name. Therefore, your old village won't find you."
"But how will papa find me? What if he comes back from the war and finds our house burnt down?"

"You will have to find him." Vatten replied. Marina felt a bit disappointed, but continued on. "Ok, this was my biggest question. You said there were only three other dragons in the world. What are they all about?"

Vatten paused to think. "Yes, that is a major thing I meant to talk to you about. You see, I'm not the only elemental dragon. They all were born around the same time I was. We four were sworn to protect the world using our gifts and magic. There are three other dragons I fought along side of in some battles. Eld, the dragon of fire, Felsen, the dragon of earth, and Taivas, the dragon of Air. They weren't just my fighting partners, but they were also my best friends." He sighed. " Oh the times we used to have."

"However, they, like me, have grown old and tired and are ready to find their heirs. They have just recently contacted me about their decision. Soon, there will be four new dragon protectors. Alone you are strong, but together, the element guardians are mighty. You must find the heirs, along with keeping peace in the sea.You three will help one another fight the forces of evil. Even though they live in three different countries, you will find them, or they'll find you. It is destiny that you all shall meet and fight together." Marina pondered for a moment. "But how will I know its them? Its not like they'll come up to me and say, 'Hello there, I'm the fire dragon? Are you a dragon?' " Vatten chuckled. "No my dear, the way you will know you've met is, even though you've never seen each other, you will call each other by your dragon names without even realizing it. Yours is Samena, which means Together."

"Now I will leave you, not forever though. If you find a guardian here, please introduce me. But do come visit before then, will you?" "Of course I will." Marina grinned at her first true friend. "Good luck Samena." At that, the Loch Ness Monster disappeared into the murky depths of his new home.

Marina, or Samena, dragon of the sea, watched him, touching Concordia. "I will not let you down, Hoffen."
