This will be the only chapter in third person as I will be switching over to first person in the next chapter and on.


Unveiling of the Legendary

The crystals had only shined twice. The last time their ethereal lights gleamed had been hundreds of years ago when Calem had just become Keeper of Draconis Hold. So he was shocked to discover the lights creeping slowly towards the Seering Pool for the second time in his lifetime. Alerted by their appearance, Calem summoned dragons from around the Earth to Draconis Hold for the unveiling of the new Legendary.

Vala was amongst the last of the dragons to arrive and silently took her place amongst her peers, standing near the edge of the Seering Pool. The carven was filled with clamor about what was to happen. It was some dragons first time at the Seering Pool, they were the ones who spoke with such excitement in their voice. Yet for the majority this was the second time they've been part of an Unveiling Ceremony. Vala was just a young hatching, having just learned to fly, when she experienced her first viewing, a rare spectacle she's remember forever.

"How lucky I am to be experiencing it for a second time," she thought to herself. The chatter died out as Calem let out a roar for attention. Vala's sapphire eyes gazed upon the Hold's Keepers, waiting for him to speak.

"My fellow companions, as you have already assumed, I have called all of you here to the Seering Pool for the third ever Unveiling of a Legendary," Calem spoke in his gruff aged voice. "I know some of you are as equally surprised as I am to be present for this rare occurrence for a second time." Murmurs of agreement sounded in whispers which were followed by gasps as the lights reached the Seering Pool's water, illuminating the cavern in a blinding light.

"Behold the Unveiling of the Legendary!" Calem cried out. As the glowing light dimmed the Seering Pool's clear waters had changed to show a room lined with shelves of books. A young woman entered the scene with an arm full of books. Her hair fell like a waterfall in chocolate brown waves, framing her cream colored face. Signature amethyst irises searched the shelves. A quick small smirk graced her face when she located the spot she was looking for, placing one of the books in her arms on the shelf.

The instant Vala laid her eyes on the woman she knew who she was, as was tradition with the dragon chosen to accompany the Legendary. "Whom ever has been selected as the Legendary's companion please speak up and inform us of this woman," Calem asked.

"Her name is Darcey Evangeline Sutton," Vala spoke drawing everyone's attention to her. "She is twenty-four years old and is the youngest of three children."

"She wears such strange clothes," one of the younger dragons commented staring at Darcey in the Seering Pool. The dragons had to agree that her clothing was strange. She did not wear a dress as the ladies of the time did but instead wore a short burgundy tunic and strange blue pantaloons. Instead of a cloak to keep her warm was an opened grey sweater. The only familiar objects she wore were black slippers and a knitted scarf around her neck.

"She is from the twenty first century. What she wears is common for her time," Vala informed everyone.

"How is it possible that she is the new Legendary if she is from the far off future?" an emerald scaled dragoness questioned.

"You forget that the first ever Legendary came from the past. If Castor was able to come to us from the past than Darcey will be able to come to us as well. She will arrive to our time through one way or another," Calem answered and turned to Vala. "Vala, you have been given the honor of being chosen for the Legendary's companion and teacher. I suggest you be off to meet her wherever she might arrive."

Vala nodded before flying out of the Seering Pool and out of Draconis Hold, hearing a wave of congratulations and well wishes from her peers. She took off into the horizon, the sun shining warmly on her cerulean scales. Her instincts lead her, taking her to where the new Legendary would arrive…her Legendary.

"Darcey Evangeline Sutton," Vala muttered to herself.
