Chapter 4
"There's another one? Who is she and why isn't she here now!" asked Kiara eagerly awaiting Mevrick's answer.
"Do we know her?" asked Neraka
"Yes I believe you do, she isn't here now because she has been kidnapped" explained Mevrick
"What by who?" asked Siera?
"By the 'Dark Ones'" began Mevrick "They found away to break threw the wall that separates the two worlds, somehow they figured out who she was and they took her"
"So who is it?" wondered Jaelie
"Her name is Shanalon" replied Mevrick, and she has the power of electricity which is the power that is held in this last egg"
"So what's going to happen to her? Are they going to kill her?" asked Siera
"No, they will probably use her as bait to lure you into a trap" explained Ewan
"So what are we supposed to do? Just leave her to rot!" exclaimed Neraka
"No of course not, we will save her, but first you must free your cities from the evil guardians that rule it" explained Mevrick
"What cities?" asked Kiara?
"Avalonia has five main cities" began Ewan "You each rule one, Siera you rule the water city Silvanesti and have the power of water and ice. Neraka you rule over the fire city Kalaman and have the power of fire. Kiara rules over the earth city Qualinesti and has the power of nature and finally Jaelie. You rule over the city of light Sirrion and have the power of light."
"And what about Shanalon's?" asked Siera
"Shanalon rules the city of electricity, Balafore which is now known as the evil city Vertox" interrupted Mevrick "The 'Dark Ones' took over her city and surrounded it with monsters as well as hexes."
"So we save our cities, destroy the 'Dark Ones' and save Shanalon" said Neraka "Sounds easy enough"
"It's not that simple" said Mevrick
"Whattya mean Mevo" asked Siera
Mevrick raised an eyebrow at Siera and said…
"You have to awaken the cities true guardians"
"Great… and what are they?" asked Jaelie
"They are dragons" said Ewan, smiling at Jaelie. "They were put to sleep by your father. To awaken them you need to call their names, the dragons will only awaken to its princess's call."
"There names are Flamedra, Forte, Electra, Seadra and Fate" said Mevrick
"How do we know which one belongs to what?" asked Siera
"That you will need to figure out for yourself" replied Mevrick
"Well clearly we know where Flamedra, Seadra and Electra go but what of Forte and Fate?" asked Jaelie
"I think fate belongs to you Jaelie" said Kiara
"Very good Kiara" said Mevrick "Indeed you are correct, Fate is the dragon of light and Forte is the dragon of earth"
"Father" interrupted Ewan "Tanis is here with the map you requested
"Wonderful, send him in" replied Mevrick
The library door opened and a stubby dwarf stumbled threw the door way.
"Here is the map you asked for master" said the dwarf in a croaky voice
"Thank you Tanis" said Mevrick as he took the map from the dwarf's rough shaky hand.
"So lovely to see you all alive and well your majesties" said Tanis
The dwarf went to bow but ended up falling flat on his face. Kiara, Siera and Neraka began to laugh.
"Oh you poor thing!" cried Jaelie.
She went to help Tanis up but he quickly jumped to his small stubby feet.
"I am not worthy of such kindness"
"There is no time for this now" explained Mevrick.
Mevrick laid the map that Tanis had brought him out on the table in front of him. The map showed five large cities all with different colors, pink, blue, purple, red and green.
"It is time for you to be on your way, you have much to do and little time to do it" said Mevrick "I will send my son Ewan with you, he is an excellent swordsman and will help protect you"
Jaelie quickly glanced across the room and smiled at Ewan, but she turned away before he could notice.
"Master" said Tanis tugging at Mevrick's sleeve, "What about the Mage?"
"Oh yes! Girls, first enlist help from the great mage Toran who lives in the Alderan forest. I will send word to him asking for his assistance but if he refuses you must convince him to change his mind. He is a great asset to have as he can help you learn to understand your powers better."
"We will go to Sirrion first then" said Ewan looking at Jaelie "We have to pass threw the Alderan forest to get there so it makes the most sense"
"Sirrion it is then" said Mevrick "Good Luck"
