Hey guys, note before we start, Amelia has always been named Amelia her whole two lives by some strange coincidence. Just wanted to point that out. Anyway, review and enjoy!

"So you...y-you were alive as a different person?" Trey asked. Amelia nodded, causing him to gasp and go wide-eyed.

"It's the truth Trey. Ask any of the Barians. They'll tell you the same thing." The pink-haired girl turned to Durbe with a dull look. He nodded, already knowing what was going through her mind.

With a sigh, Amelia began telling everything.

*Flashback*

"Spitz Spitz Flame! Take aim!"

The large red dragon in front of the young girl roared and bent in a battle stance.

"FIRE!"

Her head raised, and with a howl, she sent a fire ball hurdling towards the tree.

CRASH! The tree hit the ground. Spitz Spitz Flame turned to her trainer, Amelia, a sweet young girl with brown hair, blue eyes, and a love for battle. Amelia stepped forward and hugged her dragon, whom she called "Spitzy" for short when she wasn't giving a direct command.

"That was amazing Spitzy! I'm proud of you, and I'm sure Mizael will be too." Amelia stroked the large dragon's scarlet scales. She growled in a low tone, but truly it was meant to be a purr. Sometimes it didn't come out quite right. The brown-haired girl led her dragon back into the cave. That was enough practice for one day. After all, Spitz Spitz Flame had finally broken a boulder with a single tail slash. Must be tired. Amelia decided they both needed rest.

Footsteps came towards Amelia as she and Spitz Spitz Flame sat on the ground. She turned, her long, braided hair going with her. Mizael was finally back from his flight.

"Ah, Amelia. You and Spitz Spitz Flame are doing fantastic. Really good improvement." Mizael smiled, referring to the tree he'd seen outside. He rarely did that now, but when he did he meant it, and had the upmost pride showing for something.

Amelia smiled right back. "Thank you Mizael. I think Spitzy is improving because I've had her take on stronger, less tender things. Did you know she shattered a bolder with a single slap of her tail today? It was amazing!"

Spitz Spitz Flame roared in confirmation. Mizael walked up and patted the dragon's head, then went further into the cave. He shoved one of the large rocks out of the way, one Amelia had never been around to know what was inside.

"Amelia, come here." Mizael motioned with his hand. Amelia took nervous and steady steps forward. Spitz Spitz Flame followed just as cautiously. She took a whiff of the air, catching the smell of other dragons.

Amelia finally made it to the side of the cave. She was nervous to know what was there, and only because she'd never been allowed to go there. Mizael smiled and stepped aside. Amelia gasped and nearly screamed when she stepped inside.

Dragons! Many of them! And they were...tame? She couldn't believe it.

"Oh my goodness..." Amelia turns back to Mizael. "Why are you suddenly taking me back here? I've never been allowed before. What changed?"

"You have proven yourself to me. Spitz Spitz Flame shattered a boulder today, yes?"

"She did."

"That is the strongest thing a dragon in training can do. Now, I have a new task for you."

"A-An new task f-for m-m-me?" Amelia stammered. Mizael nodded and motioned with his hand.

"Come," he said, walking in.

Amelia nodded and followed. Spitz Spitz Flame did the same. Both let out a yelp of fear when a large, black dragon landed in front of them. When Amelia recognized him to be Black Lust, she relaxed. It was just Mizael's dragon.

"What's the new task?" Amelia asked, petting Black Lust momentarily before following her master.

"The new task," Mizael began, staring right at his assistant. "is for you to become a Dragon Whisperer."

The girl went wide-eyed. "Dragon Whisperer?! I...I-I'd be honored to! It would be great!"

"Good. You may start now if you wish. All you must do is make bonds with injured or frightened dragons you find, and then bring them back to me so they may be tamed. Can you do that?"

Amelia saluted. "You can count on me, sir!"

Mizael smiled as he began to leave. "I hope so. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to take care of. Bring back many dragons for me." He walked out of the cave, not bothering to shove the rock back now that Amelia was allowed in. She smiled.

This would be a great. The girl could feel it. She turned to Spitz Spitz Flame. Amelia placed her hand on the dragon's head.

"You ready girl? We have a big job ahead of us." Spitz Spitz Flame howled in confirmation. Amelia turned to the mouth of the cave. "Then let's get going."

XxXxXxXx

Dragons flew overhead. Amelia watched as one large ice dragon dropped down next to her. It looked starved, and it's eyes were shaking in fear when she approached the poor thing. A howl emitted from its throat, but came out more like a screech.

"You poor, poor creature," Amelia whispered. She lifted her hand in a gentle motion. The ice dragon screeched again when the girl placed her hand on its head. "Who would do such a thing to you? It's not right."

Another screech, only this time, it was a slow one. A slow one that seemed to be welcoming. With a smile, Amelia stroked the dragon's head. It gazed into her blue eyes as Amelia began to back up slowly. It was her job as a Dragon Whisperer to bring the hurt dragons she made friends with back to her master, Mizael. After all, she was his apprentice.

Howling and screeching was heard in the cave Amelia came walking into. The dragon yelped in fear. Amelia smiled and patted its head, then stepped inside.

"Mizael! I'm back!" Amelia called. But what she got as an answer wasn't what she was expecting. People were screaming outside. Amelia turned. With a single motion, she told the dragon to sit. The girl was many things. She grabbed her sword from the ground where she left it, then walked outside.

She didn't want to see what she did see, though.

Everyone was dead. Corpses were scattered all around. Amelia couldn't believe it. Even Nasch and Merag were dead! But of everything, she didn't see one thing; Vector.

She didn't have time to see him. Amelia cried out as the sword went through her, and right before she collapsed, she turned and saw the crazy prince. Now it all became clear. What had happened to Spitz Spitz Flame, why she hadn't seen Durbe in so long. It was all too clear.

"H-How could y-y-you?" She stuttered out before falling to the ground herself.
