A smile was upon her face, as she and Emma went racing through the fields. Viv changed to her dragon form, and roared. Emma squealed with glee, and jumped into the makeshift saddle so she didn't fall off, and urged Viv to fly. Laughing, a sound which sounded very unnerving when she was in her dragon form, Vivian ran several more steps, and took off into the air. [color=39b54a][i]Hang tight, little one[/i][/color]. she said in Emma's mind, as she did barrel rolls, and dives. Emma loved this, she squealed and laughed with glee. Then it all changed. Emma vanished, and Vivian found herself back in her elven form, laying in her room. Sitting up, she looks for her clock, but finds instead a ghost like looking hand reaching out to her. [i][b]“Come, brave soul, I have something you must see.”[/b][/i] and then promptly vanished. The voice in her head made her jerk. She stood, and walked to where the hand had been, and was then transported to the interior of a cave. Her eyes lit up when she saw the egg. It had been a long time since any egg had hatched. Hundreds of years. She remembered the last one as if it were yesterday. But her delight quickly turned to dread as the voice returned. “[i][b]Vaeros, the dragon of dread. Long has he slumbered, in wait for the day when he may awaken in his fury.” [/b][/i] The egg is taken by someone, and the parchment with it. [i][b]"That day has come."[/b][/i] Looking at the scene before her, Vivian's heart sinks as she notices the blood moon. But her attention soon focuses on the young couple standing in front of the egg from earlier. A booming voice sounded in her mind. The words of the ancient prophecy roared in her head, causing her to grimace slightly, and bring her hand to her sword. She listened to the words of the prophecy that she had heard for years, but never given it any credit. It was then that the dragon, now hatched, changed to human. Vivian gasped. Never had this happened before. Never in the history of Valeroma. Shifters were always born as their "lesser" being, either human, elf, or dwarf. Not the other way around. And on top of that, never had a shifter changed that early. It took years....then he spoke. [color=9e0b0f]"I am Vaeros....die."[/color] As he changed back again, he had tripled in size. Terror flew through her veins like fire. [i][b]“He will wreathe the world in flame. Ashes and shadow will bind you and all of Valeroma to a living death none may escape...”[/b][/i] Vivian watched as the scene changed. Vaeros, now at his full size, attacking villages. Children, Women, Men, everyone was dead. Only a few wailing cries remained. Tears were streaming down her face. [i][b]“No one can stand in his way. All you hold dear will vanish.”[/b][/i] As the scene around her changed, Vivian drew her sword. The sound of metal ringing through the air, Vivian turned to see....five others? By the looks of it, there were all confused and scared. While Vivian knew what was happening, she was indeed terrified. "[i]But not all is as hopeless as it seems.[/i]" A young girl appears. Red hair, green eyes, and very spirit like. She listened as she spoke of a second half of the prophecy. Her brow furrowed, for she had never in all her years heard of a second half. The girl met her eyes as her voice grew in power once more. [center][color=00aeef]“Six in tide, Six are true Six to be lead by a spirit of hue Long awaited in the endless sin They are the saviors of many a skin While they live, he cannot survive While he is here, they cannot thrive”[/color] [/center] “[i][b]This second verse of the prophesy has long since been forgotten by the peoples of Valeroma, but that does not make them any less true. You have been chosen since birth, Vivian, Valaina, Kolmar, Niklaus, Agardir, Crystal, to uphold this prophesy. Only by banding together to confront Vaeros is there any hope for Valeroma. Without you, Valeroma will fall.....If this is not motivation enough to take this vision seriously, so help me I will haunt you every night and you will never ever have another restful sleep again, is that understood?” [/b][/i] As the being named everyone, a picture of each person appeared in her mind to match the name. When she got to the haunting part, a smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth. A know it all, full of itself being was to guide them? Figures. When the being showed them where to go, and the time, Vivian nodded. Knowing already, her choice. As soon as the Vision ended, Vivian woke with a start. She was surprised to see the pillow, and her sheets were covered with sweat. She was never a sweater when she slept. Knowing what she must do, she changed into her travel armor, packed what she could carry in a large, large bag. She went outside, sneaking out of the house, so she wouldn't awaken the family she was staying with. She went far enough away, and changed. Her dragon form, about 80 feet from tip to tail, grabbed the bag, and flew off in the direction of the Forbidden Grove. It was a days journey, even by the air. [i]A Day Later[/i] Vivian landed a few miles from her final destination, figuring it'd be best to take the rest of the journey on foot. She didn't want to scare any of the other members of the...chosen ones if she wasn't the first to arrive. After an hours walk, she emerged into the forbidden grove. Looking around, she realized she was the first one there. She went to lean against the lone tree in the center of the grove, worn out from her long journey. She closed her eyes, and soon drifted into a light sleep.
