Aurora
The girl was sitting by a waterfall, just as Charlotte said she had seen in the vision. She looked up and her eyes widened at the sight of the four of us coming towards her. I could see that she had long dark hair, a similar color to Charlotte's but in a long plait and with a streak of white winding down the side. Her eyes were blue.
Tamara, as always, knew exactly what to say. "We're here about your powers."
The girl's eyes widened and she raised her hand above her head. The stream responded, swirling into the air around her long fingers. I gripped the handle of my axe, ready for a fight, but the young girl simply lowered her hand and murmured,
"I knew you would come… I saw it in a dream. I've already told my parents goodbye, but they just laughed. They don't know what I can do…" Her words should have been bitter, but the way she said them was mild and even amused.
It was unnerving. She should have been bitter. I would have been bitter. Heck, I was bitter.
She held up a bulging backpack- all she had packed to remember her home. It reminded me a little of my own.
"I'm sorry." Charlotte said. The girl looked at her and said gently, "It doesn't matter- let it be."
Kai seemed tense, turning in place with his hands on his sword hilt. Suddenly, he called, "I can see Fangpyre- they're coming this way!" I gripped my axe and howled for my wolves, feeling the presence of their minds getting closer as they ran. Charlotte raised her knives, glowing with power, and Tamara flipped into the air and hovered, with the Cyclone Fans humming.
As the Fangpyre slithered into the clearing around the waterfall, the girl closed her eyes… and the river exploded, knocking the Serpentine over and drencing all of us. "Come on!" Charlotte yelled, turning towards the Bounty. We bolted, with the girl following us.
Back on the Bounty, the girl turned to us and said politely, "It's nice to meet you all- I'm Cindy."
The problem of the fog monster was rapidly explained, and Zane recited the prophecy.
Suddenly, Nya called, "We're here!"
