Author's Note: This chapter was the hardest to write so far, since so much time had be spent on the dragon's legend. My mom helped me come up with the dragon's names. I absolutely love her. She's the best mom ever.

"The legend begins at the beginning.

Before the world came into being there existed only the magic of the universe itself.

From this magic spawned seven great dragons. These beasts contained all the magic of the elements and used their power to create the world.

Ch'tar, the dragon of earth, formed the shell of the world.

P'rexen, the dragon of fire, filled the middle of the shell with flame and shaped the land.

A'shen, the dragon of growth, covered the shell in plants.

S'phir, the dragon of water, filled the deepest parts of the shell with water.

Ar'Kbon, the dragon of lightning, split the sky from the heavens.

L'Aar, the dragon of wind, filled the sky with clouds and created the weather.

Zi'arc, the dragon of ice, covered the highest points of the shell in ice and cooled P'rexen's fires so the shell could support life.

They all combined their powers to create the cycle of seasons and time.

When the world was done they breathed their last breaths into ether of their creation, and life bounded across the surface.

Some of the beasts took to the water, some bounded across the land, and others took to the sky. And out of these beasts the dragons created man to watch over and guide the other beasts.

Then the dragons withdrew from the physical world into the spiritual to join their voices into the great song of life. The song is the source of all life and as long it plays the world and its magic will endure.

The world was peaceful and all its creatures lived in harmony. Man built upon the land and ruled over the beasts.

But darkness began to form in their hearts. Man became greedy, for land, beasts and wealth. They began to fight and kill each other, and the war of man ravaged the surface of the world.

Magic bonded with the hate and greed that flowed in the spilt blood of the innocent and formed the eighth and final dragon, V'pyr the dragon of blood.

V'pyr's appetite for blood was so voracious that man became afraid and their calls reached the dragons through the song. They selected seven mortals in whose hearts the song resounded the loudest.

Combining their powers with the mortals they sealed V'pyr in slumber and hid him away in the center of the great song.

The world recovered and some of the race of man began to learn how to tune into the song and draw on its magic.

It is said that if V'pyr is ever wakened from his slumber, only those with the strongest hearts can tune into the song and call forth the dragons again."

They were all quiet for a while after Ja'en finished, but the silence was shattered after Xigbar sneezed.

"Maybe we should build a fire and dry off."

Xaldin said as he began trying to wring the water out of his hair, and Axel shivered.

They were still very wet from the lake and Axel knew they would all end up sick if they didn't get dry soon.

He glanced over at Roxas as the boy shivered and had the sudden urge to go wrap his arms around him.

Not a good idea Axel, you're both wet and he might freak out. Even if he is just adorable.

"Hey can you do me next?"

Demyx' voice brought Axel out of his inner musings and he stared at Roxas who was now completely dry.

Roxas held one hand up with his palm toward Demyx and Axel couldn't help grinning when the water started evaporating out of Demy's clothes and hair. Demyx giggled when he was dry and Roxas started again on Xaldin.

In a very short time they were all dry and Axel just caught Roxas in time as the boy collapsed.

"Hey are you okay Roxas?"

Axel was very worried as he laid the boy down gently and the others crowded close to see what happened.

"He'll be fine after some rest. The magic he has used has drained his energy, even my being here is using a little of his energy so I have to go."

Axel swore the tiger smiled at him before she turned into a small ball of light and melted into the crystal around Roxas' neck.

Grumbling as they moved away to lie down, well Xigbar was grumbling, the others went to sleep.

Axel lay down near Roxas and his sleeping face was the last thing Axel saw before he fell asleep himself.

Author's Note 2: Ok so this chapter is even shorter than the last one. I keep telling my mom I need more sleep. Sadly I still don't own the KH characters. I wish I could have at least one, but I wouldn't know which one to choose! Demyx, Axel or maybe Roxas? Gah! Can't decide! Brain shutting down! REBOOT! REBOOT!
