Chapter Six: First Sign

"Are you done yet?" Rowan asked the silver haired boy as he looked through the shelves to find a certain book as she stood near the door with one in her hand and three more floating behind her. "Because I'm not waiting around if you're going to take all day." The boy just sighed before reaching and pulled out a book to inspect the cover before putting it back until something strange caught his eye and pulled out a slightly thick book with worn out leather and slightly glowing pages if he looked at it from the side.

They left the slightly dark hallway where Rowan has access for researching of why she gets visions as she faints and sat down at a nearby table to look at the book he found. The covering was ash-gray leather but the words on the cover were in an ancient language that they couldn't figure out. "Kilu- hije- what?" He asked as he tried to pronounce the cover words.

"زهرة النار. Zahrat alnnar. The Fire Flower," She said, making the silverette look at her curiously. "What? Strange things happen around me whether I can read something no one else can or if it's having visions." He just rolled his eyes and tried to open the book, emphasis on 'tried', and it refused to reveal it's pages. "What the-?" He muttered as he tried for the fourth time to open the book. "Let me try." She said before he started on his fifth try and he reluctantly slid the book to her.

She repeated the ancient words and the book glowed before it slowly opened to the first page where there were more ancient words and he just let her read it.

"There was once a time when the world was in peace, all three brothers cared about each other, and their father could move around before he was turned into a tree, but there was one creature that granted them the sun and light: the Fire Flower. The Fire Flower was the only child of the Dragon Titan, and she loved to play with the newborn warriors her uncles created.

"It is said that once she was born, light suddenly flourished on the dark land and a ball of fire appeared in the sky. No parent was happier than Dragon Titan, and no one else was more overprotective than him. On the other side of the world where the light never touched was a demon named Kiluhije'na, a scarred dragon with broken bird wings, rusted chains around his feet and claws, missing teeth, blood-encrusted claws, and a poison-filled tail with sharp horns.

"He hated the appearance of the sun and light so he left the comfort of the darkness to head towards the light until he noticed a child standing at the border of Light and Darkness. It was Fire Flower, and she was wondering why there was still darkness in the world. He glared at her from the cover of darkness and swung his tail at her.

"She saw the tail and dodged it before backing away to run back to her father, but one of the tail's horns caught her side and she was poisoned instantly. He fled back to his cave as Dragon Titan arrived to find his sickened daughter before bringing her to his father. He pleaded with Bartleby but it was too late: Kiluhije'na's poison was one that he could not heal, but there could be a chance of her surviving.

"Reincarnation. Fire Flower could be reborn as another one of Dragon Titan's children, but Dragon Titan vowed would never have any more children after her. He nearly refused until he saw her pleading with her green eyes and he finally agreed. She then died with a smile on her face and dissipated into ash. Years after her death, a new danger named Thanatos arrived with his creation Morganthe and tried to destroy the world.

"The brothers killed Thanatos and sealed Morganthe as peace reigned throughout the world again. Dragon Titan granted his daughter's wish and had eleven daughters, each one he tried to see if she was one but no avail. He almost gave up until he saw a mortal with long pink hair and purple eyes. For some strange reason, he fell in love with her and transformed into a human to be with her.

"Athenyra told him that she felt different than the others and after a couple years of being together, a daughter was born with pink hair like her mother but green eyes like her father. Fire Flower was reborn."

Rowan closed the book and the two blinked to get rid of the black spots in their visions. "Well that was... useless," The silverette said as he regained his vision. "It's a book about a creature of the past, nothing that can help- are you okay?" He looked at her curiously as she stared into space before he noticed her changes. "Oh Bartleby!" Her eyes were a draconic green, her fingernails were slightly longer and sharper, and that she was breathing heavily.

"Wasayatimm taqsim khatam alssalam min alshshams al'aswad walddamar sayaqae ealaa alealam almudammir." She spoke really fast in the ancient language and he looked from the book to her before everything came all at once.

Literally.

The library walls broke apart as an frightened Arachnid Dragon flew away frantically from a furious huge Wraith pet. "Ne quid agis utar aut Phoenix succendetur utrumque pecto!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, in the tongue of dragons, and both pets immediately stopped. Well, Shadow flew underneath her hat as the Wraith pet cowered under her furious draconic glare. "Ego autem vadam ad Pet Shoppe vel vulnerant!"

It shook in fear and immediately disappeared, probably to the Pet Shoppe to keep the mini Wraith population continuous. She calmed down and changed back before fainting from exhaustion, and making Shadow yelp as he was still under her hat.

So that means that she's... The silverette looked from the book in his hands to the fainted pinkette as he dragon pet struggled to get out from under her head. "Fire Flower."
