Seph and Fallenheart got out their swords, but that's when, for the first time, Seph noticed runes on the side of the strangely hard glass blades- they were glowing!

Seph seen the palm tree, and with one quick cut, sliced the tree in two! Seph's little dragon seen a strange sign drawn into the sand, his bright blue eyes full of curiosity and alert, scanned the sign.

Seph's little dragon breathed in, then breathed out, then white colored air streamed into the small cracks of the picture- then froze it! Seph stepped back in amazement as the dragon froze the picture.

Then the waves churned, and then the water dragon came up, his green eyes full of anticipation said "here is food,"

The dragon had a net, but Seph never knew how he could skillfully carry it in his mouth. The net was full of crabs, clams, and large silver fish.

The dragon emptied the net over the beach, then seen the picture. The picture was a circle and had four lines that looked like spikes- the Shadow Lord's symbol.

Seph looked to see where the boat was now, but it was no longer in the horizon- it has landed on the shore!

Seph got his sword ready and realized it was Valor, the vampire, who controlled the boat.

Seph ran up to him and slashed him with his sword, but then- he disappeared and reappeared behind Seph and bit his neck.

Seph's little dragon breathed in, then out, and Valor was solidified. Fallenheart helped Seph up. Seph's teeth were as sharp as Valor's now.
