In the cave on the other side of the portal, a grey furred Jaquin with a silver maned flew in through the entrance with two others by his side. They landed before the stoned Jaquin face carved into the wall. The maned Jaquin stepped forward and placed his paw over the paw print embedded upon the floor of the cave, causing a surged of orange light which lid up from the outlines of it's face. It's mighty jaw then open wide, revealing the portal. He then stepped back to the others as right, Elena, Skyler, Neko, Luna and Migs flew in from the portal and landed before them.

The female Jaquin with dark purple fur and a red mullet over her head raised an eye brow at the sight of Elena.

"Is that a human?" She asked the other to her right.

"I thought there was only two of you." Zephyr said, noticing the number of Jaquins who stood before him was more then what he was told.

"There's been a change of plans." Migs said, as he stepped forward.

Zephyr then noticed the young women clad in a jaquin furred and feathered dress sitting atop the back of Skylar.

"Hello Chief Zephyr." Elena said, greeting the Guardian.

"Princess Elena." He said, bowing before her.

"It has been some time. To what do we owe the honor?"

"I'm here to take part in Guardian training."

The mention of training the chosen heir of Verogo came to surprise to the Jaquin chief. While not opposed to the idea, Zephyr was very questionable to it to say the least. Being that Elena was not a Jaquin, she was unfit to take part in any of the training required to be a Guardian. She had no wings, nor fangs, none of the traits which are common for a Jaquin.

"King Verogo is giving Elena a chance to prove herself." Migs explained.

"He asks that she learns from you on being a true leader."

The two Jaquins behind Zephyre confusedly stared toward Migs at his statement. The very idea of a human being trained as a Guardian was something quite unheard of among the Jaquins. Though considering such an idea was quite baffling to say the least, for there was no possible way a human could qualify as such.

"Hang on," the Jaquin leftward to Zephyr said, stepping up from behind Chief.

"We're not seriously considering training a human here, are we?"

"Whats that suppose to mean?" Elena asked, curiously.

"It means that a human isn't cut out to do the work of a guardian." The female stated bluntly to the Jaquin

Zephyr growled toward his two fellow Jaquin.

"Cruise, Vestia!" He said with authoritarian tone.

"That is not how you speak to the princess!"

The two Jaquins backed down from the Alpha as he stepped back. Zephyr then turned back to Elena and Skyler.

"My apologizes, your highness." He said, stepping forward to Elena and Skylar.

"Please forgive Cruise and his sister. Not every Jaquin is weloming to the idea of a human being in the valley."

The two siblings each turned away to the opposite direction of each other.

"But I'm afraid they may be right. I believe that Guardian training may not be suited for someone of your standers."

The Jaquin princess glanced curiously upon that remark. She looked down at Skylar, who shrugged in response to the question he knew she had.

"Standers?" Elena asked, glancing curiously up to the chief.

"I only speak on the best of intentions, your majesty." He said.

"But being that you are... much different compared to most Jaquins. Many of the trials will be out of you league I should say."

Hearing what he was trying to say, Elena was a bit taken back. However she knew it was understandable. She was human after all and there were many things she lacked compared to her Jaquin family. Though being true, it was hard for it to convince the Jaquin princess to withdraw.

"I understand I may not look like I'm up to the task." Elena insisted.

"But believe me, I can do it. My father sent me so that I can prove I can be the leader he wants to be and I'm willing to do what it takes. And besides, there's anything I'm not qualified to do, Skyler, Migs and Luna can help me."

The determination of the Jaquin princess was one to be admired by Zephyr. Even still with all that stood in the way, she was still willing to take the challenges ahead regardless if it was beyond her capabilities. And even in regard of receiving help by her brothers and friends, they were also trainees and were inexperienced with being a Guardian. Perhaps it could be possible to allow her to train along side her brothers.

"Very well, your highness." He said, agreeing to Elena's proposition.

"You shall endure Guardian training."

Elena gazed down at Skylar as he and Neko gazed to one another, smiling joyfully that Elena was accepted to train with them.

"Now then, we must return to the moon cliff." Zephyr insisted before he and the other two Jaquins turned to the cave entrance.

"Come!"

Spreading their wings. Zephyr and his escorts leaped up and flew out the entrance of the cave. Elena, Skyler, Neko, Luna and Migs flew after them, reentering the world which had long forgotten them.

Souring high over the jungles of Valle de ciudades perdidas, Elena gazed out upon the acres of jungle which reach far to the horizon of the valley. Suddenly she felt a sense of unease. One which had felt before whenever she stepped back to the world she had came. Memories of her long dormant past suddenly past suddenly seeped into her mind. The pain and loss of before she came to be heir to the Jaquin king, she frowned sullenly as her eyes drifted to the side.

She turned to face forward, trying to pushing away the past she wished not to remember.

Though now was not the time for her to dwell.

"Hey sis, look!" Neko said.

"We're here!

For as she glanced to what lied ahead, she came gave upon a cliff which resembled that of the moon which glowed during the night. Around he cliff, she could see several guardian Jaquins flying about the cliff or laying perched in the small caves where they had built their nests.

All sense of despair and contempt were soon replaced with awe and wonder. She and her Jaquin grew up hearing about Mooncliff, the place where the Guardian keep watch over the remains of the long lost cities which had thrived countless generations before. She had always hoped that one day she would be able to see it for herself. Now given the opportunity, it looked just as majestic as how it was told.

"Wow!" She said as she gazed about the sight.

Chief Zephyr and Cruise then descended to the small clearing which stood below the cliff as Elena and the others followed suit.

The group landed in the center of the clearing, where they were met by several awaiting Jaquins. Elena climbed off Skylar's back before turning to the Jaquin guardians sitting side by side, who were staring so astoundingly at their princess. They each chattered to one another, leaning in and whispering to the other at the sight of a human. One which was to be their future queen none the less.

"Everyone's staring at me." She said as she looked back to her brothers, Migs and Luna.

"Not many Jaquins have seen a human before, princess." Migs stated.

Right then, Chief Zephyr then spoke up.

"My fellow Guardians." He said.

The Guardian Jaquins fell silent as they stood at attention to their chief.

"For many generations we have kept watch over the valley and the ancient ruins of the lost people. Today we are joined by several new trainees, as well as the princess of Vellestrella."

There was once more a sense of shock among the Guardians. Not only was there a human in Valle de las ciudades perdidas, but that she was the daughter to King Verogo and Queen Mariana. There had been rumors in the passed on throughout the years that the royal family had adopted a human child, though none had believed that such a thing. Living in the other realm, none of the Guardians have ever laid eyes upon the truth until now.

"As custom, we are to chose a Navagera to train the next generations of Guardians," Zephyr lectured to his fellow Guardians.

"However, that will not be needed this time. By order of King Verogo, I have been chosen to be the Navagera."

Zephyr then turned to face the five friends.

"Elena, Skylar, Neko, Luna, Migs, from this day on, I shall be the one to oversee your Guardian training. When you are ready, then you shall take the Guardian test. If you pass, then you shall become Guardians of ciudades perdidas. If you fail, the you are to return to our home realm of Vallestrella."

Cruise smirked as he leaned in toward his sister.

"And we all know who that is going to be." he said, gesturing to Elena.

"Hopefully, you will all be up for the task."

"Oh, we are!" Elena declaired.

"Oh yeah!" Skylar insisted upon his sisters statement.

"Yes well, we shall see if so." Zephyr said.

The chief Jaquin then turned back to his fellow Guardians.

"For ciudades perdidas!" He declared.

"For ciudades perdidas!" The other Guardians cheered out.

The Guardian Jaquins then sprouted their wings as they flew into the air. Just a Vestia flew up along with the others, Cruise first glanced over to Elena. A sly smirk was written across his face. He knew very well that she was doomed to fail, for a human was no Jaquin. She had no idea of what was in store for her.
