I felt an unbearable heat build up in my hands. My heart was beating in my chest like a caged bird that desperately wanted to be free. I was furious.

Sending the most fearsome glare that I could at the man that stood across from me, the heat in my hands only grew. He didn't back down- his azure eyes easily returned the glare to my turquoise ones.

"You've gone too far." I growled out at him. This seemed to have hit a nerve for him as I saw his eyes flash at me.

"I've gone too far?!" He stated before pointing a finger at me angrily. "I've been trying to save you from this the entire time!"

I took in the devastation to the place around me that I called home. My anger spiked as I remembered how all of this happened, and my eyes wandered back to him. In the back of my mind I felt the worry from my twin sister towards me. I pushed the feeling away, not wanting to be distracted at the moment. He had caused this. I had been warned, but it happened anyways, and now the children are suffering because of it.

A loud boom was heard outside of the house that we stood in. I vaguely took in the sound of a multitude of asteroids raining down from the sky and onto our home. The asteroids hit the ground nearby, making the ground shake a moment before the impact was heard. We barely noticed any of it while we argued.

"No! You've been avoid me all month! If it wasn't for Qilby's warning-"

"Qilby!" He shouted over another distant rumble, his voice strained. "You've been listening to Qilby?! He's mad! Did he ever bother to tell you why it is that we have to keep moving from one world to the next?! Why it is that the children are in constant danger after only a few hundred years?!"

"What are you talking about?" I stated quickly. My voice stated my sudden worry clearly as my dragon sister had sent me a more urgent and worried question. I pushed her aside again, in favor in hearing what it was that the man in front of me had to say. His form seemed to have deflated from his anger towards me as he then spoke.

"It's all his fault Elena. It always has been..." He said sadly, his eyes downcast and his hat successfully blocked me from seeing all of his face properly.

I suddenly felt as though I had been punched in the gut. I knew that his words that rang only with truth. With a single look I could tell that he had told me the truth. Everything about him told me that he spoke the truth- and it hurt. For the first time in my life I wished that I hadn't known him so well as to be able to tell when he was lying to me with a single look. I knew. Besides, the only time I would catch him in a lie was for a joke. Never would he lie for anything serious.

Tears began to prick at my eyes. The ground shook. The house shivered like a leaf in response, threatening to collapse on us at any moment.

"He... lied?" My voice was tight with emotion. I looked at the man before me with disbelief. I begged him with my eyes for him to tell me otherwise. He only held sorrow and betrayal in his eyes. I looked down, trying to process what I was just told. Eventually I nodded. I felt a warm hand hold mine, prompting me to look up. When I did, I was met by his cool eyes gazing into mine with all of the love that we shared.

"Come on." he said, and started to pull me along behind him. We were met outside by our dragon siblings. "Let's go and save the children once again."

I nodded, squeezing his hand in response before we parted ways. We climbed onto our sibling dragons respectively. Once being the size of a small baby, they had now easily grown to three times the size of our house. His dragon sibling was male. The large dragon had a beautiful white layer of scales that ran down his back. The only time that the color was disrupted was with the random cluster of blue scales that dotted the dragons hide irregularly. The white dragon's underbelly was an off-white color to the scales on his back. As for my dragon sibling, she was female. She was about the same size as the white dragon, but her hide was black. The only time that the shade was disrupted was with the odd cluster of green that would appear irregularity along her back. Her entire underbelly was green as well, but it was such a dark green that it was almost indiscernible from the rest of her hide.

Both dragons had to lean down to one side to allow us to climb up their forelimbs. I hopped from my sisters large paw to her sharp elbow, before I landed on her shoulder. I quickly made my way to the top of her head, where I could hold onto one of her long emerald-colored horns.

Only able to extend their large leather-like wings to a certain point while standing next to one another, the dragons balance on their hind legs. With practiced ease, my dragon sibling jumped high into the air. Once she was at the peak of her jump, she quickly flapped her wings downwards, creating a noise similar to that of a thunderclap. We were launched well into the air; high enough for my sibling to fly with the full extent of her wings and not get in the way of the white dragon that was following closely behind us. We headed straight towards one of the falling asteroids.

I felt my palms heat up once more and this time I didn't hold back my power. I drew my hands in three quick circles, each one in front of the other. My Wakfu blasted out of the portals at a searing heat. It hit the asteroid at the same moment that second Wakfu beam had. Both beams easily destroyed the asteroid, which shattered and scattered into smaller and less destructive pieces.

Just as my sister and I were about to turn to the next asteroid, out of the corner of my eye I saw a portal appear. It was above the head of my blue-eyed companion. My own eyes grew wide with sudden intense panic, and with a speed I didn't know I possessed, I made a portal of my own. Within moments I was standing in front of the man that I loved. The world seemed to slow down around me as I watched in slow-motion as a knife came out of the portal that currently had a nameless owner. Just as I had fully blocked the intended target, time seemed to catch up to me again. The person with the knife quickly fell out of their portal and stabbed the very first person that they saw- me.

Because I was shorter than him, the knife had easily pierced me through my collar bone. It penetrated my lungs instead of plunging into my heart. In the next few moments, everything seemed to grow quiet. Though, I knew that everything was anything but quiet. It was only when I tried to take in a breath- to only get a lung full of blood- that sound seemed to register into my brain once more.

Someone was yelling out my name, trying to get my attention.

My eyes were on the assassin. He had tried to kill the one that I love. The man who had aimed to kill looked at me- shock, deep regret and sorrow seemed to flash through his dark eyes before he opened another portal and disappeared through it.

I felt the warmth of of my beloved holding me, catching me before I could fall. I hadn't even noticed that I had fallen back into him until he was cradling me in his arms. Tears were in his eyes as he called out my name over and over, blocking my view of their beautiful color.

I coughed. My body was trying to get rid of the blood in my lungs- trying to live. There was more blood than there was air though. My lungs were burning from the lack of oxygen. Already I was starting to get light headed.

I locked eyes with him, and put on the best smile that I could for him- bloody or not. I tried to convey to him the love that I felt towards him with my eyes. I placed my hand on his cheek and weakly tried to wipe away his tears with my thumb. He put his hand over mine and leaned into my touch. He looked at me in the eyes the best that he could with the tears blocking his view. A strange peaceful feeling was starting to wash over me as we stared at one another. He knew exactly what was happening.

"I love you." He said. The words were strangled, as though he couldn't get them out fast enough. As though, they were all he could think of that might be able to describe what we had shared. "I love you, I love you." He said over and over. The words echoed around my head. It was the only thing that my brain could process anymore. Despite my body quickly growing cold, those words seemed to warm me up.

And I knew that I could never truly leave him.

I woke up gasping for air. I tried to gather the remnants of my dream before they could fade on me once more. It was no use though, and soon the only thing that I could remember were beautiful blue eyes. I couldn't remember who they belonged to, if the person was male or female, or even my opinion of the person. All I knew was that those genuine eyes were extremely important to me.

I looked outside the only window in my room, directly beside my soft bed. It was still dark outside, but the darkness was beginning to grow lighter.

I sat up from my spot under my covers. I had worked up a sweat while I had been dreaming. It must have been a bad dream. And yet, even though I couldn't remember what I had been dreaming about, I knew that the dream felt extremely real. Almost as though I had lived it instead of dreamt it up.

With I sigh, I got out of my bed. There wasn't a chance of getting back to sleep now. I got dressed, slipping on my aquamarine tunic then my lilac-purple pants. I grabbed a white rope that was two fingers thick and tied it around my waist, just above my hips. I looked at my matching lilac colored hat in my hands. Ever since I could remember, I've had this hat. It successfully covered my entire head, hiding what I noticed no one else in my village had. I was rather grateful for my hat, not knowing what others would think if they ever saw me without it. I already knew what they'd do with rumors of me without my hat on.

I slowly pulled a brush through my long, lilac-colored hair until it was freed of any knots. Once my hair was put in a loose braid behind my head, I put my brush down and put on my hat. It was a long hat, that stopped at my hips. The inside was lined with furs, and it covered most of my forehead so that it wouldn't fall off. It had two perfect bunny-eared shaped spots at the top of it that suited me perfectly. I turned towards my bedroom door and headed towards the kitchen.

The first thing that I did was start a fresh pot of tea. I sat and watched the kettle over the fire, poking it every once in a while with a stick to keep the flames hot. It didn't take long for the wonderful aroma of the tea to permeate the house. I happily hummed to myself a tune that I seemed to know and yet not know at the same time.

"Elena, dear, you couldn't sleep?"

I turned towards the voice, mildly surprised to hear it so early in the morning, before I smiled in reply.

"Botan Ficus, how are you today?" I asked him with a smile, avoiding the question directed at me.

He was an old man who had been injured. Moon and I decided that it would be alright if he joined us where we lived for a little while until he was healed enough to leave on his own again. He wore a beat up old mask that had green tree leaves attached to it. The leave made it look as though the mask had hair if you saw it from afar. Botan had come to use a cane to help him walk as he recovered.

"I am alright." he said with a soothing voice. He had sat down at the small tea table in the kitchen, and looked at the flames under my pot of tea.

"That's good." I said, and looked back to the flames myself. "How do you think the villagers are?"

Botan sighed, holding onto his staff a little tighter at the thought of his village. He was the priest for a long time for that village. They had settled just below a very old and large tree. The very same that called home.

I then amended my thought; Botan was the priest. A man name Saul had recently decided that he should to be high priest of the village. In order to get the title, Saul tried to kill poor Botan Ficus. Saul had thrown the old man down the side of a mountain's cliff to try and get the job done. When Moon saw that Botan had survived, even though he was greatly hurt, he decided to bring him to live in the tree with us. I had already been living with Moon for the past six years or so.

Before I met Moon I had been living in the same village as Botan. But when I turned six years old, the people of the village had abandoned me in the forest. They left me to fend for myself. Maybe it was because I had discovered that I could create portals from the energy in my body that they left me. Maybe it was because I didn't belong to anyone. Or maybe it was because I looked nothing like any of the other people on this island. Either way, I had been done for. That is, until Moon found me.

We've lived together ever since.

"I can only hope that they are getting along fine with Saul as their leader. All that he wishes for is power. I fear that... he may come after our dear Moon God soon as well." Botan gave a heavy sigh. I frowned and looked at the old man, opening a portal for the tea that had finally boiled and moved the entire pot out of the flames and onto the table.

"Even if he did come after Moon, there's no way that Saul would be able to get his power." I stated firmly, pouring the tea into two separate cups. I passed one over to Botan and the other I kept for myself.

"Yes..." Botan said after a long pause, taking a long sip of his tea. "Perhaps you are right..."

"Of course I am!" I said with a smile. "I always am."

A few moments later I heard another greeting. I looked over to the entrance of the kitchen and spotted Moon. Moon is a small little monkey who carried around a hammer. I'm not sure how a little monkey like him got hold of a hammer like that to begin with, but it is the source of his strength. It's whats kept him alive for so long too. In truth, despite Moon's youthful appearance for a monkey, he is quite old. Older than just a few centuries, I am told.

"Good morning Moon," I greeted with a smile. He chattered at me before hopping up onto the table and wiping the sleep from his eyes. I smirked at him. "Still tired are you?"

I glanced outside and saw that the sun had now risen high in the air. For the rest of that morning, I helped out Botan with his injuries before going out to collect fruits for the rest of the day. I climbed up to the roof of the house where a large totem stood tall. Using my portals to get me higher, I only stopped when I reached the very top. I looked over the entire island from my high perch and I smiled sadly. Eventually, I would need to leave this place.

I hated the idea of leaving Moon- he is what saved me and kept me alive for many years. But... I knew that I didn't belong here. I felt as though I was supposed to be somewhere else, with someone else.

My mind suddenly flashed to the striking blue eyes from my could they belong to? Surely, such mesmerizing eyes had to have a lovely face to go with them? I let out a sigh, my head starting to pound in a painful way whenever I tried to focus on who those eyes belonged to. My only fear was that someday, I'd forget about those eyes completely like the rest of my dreams. That single thought seemed to be more terrifying to me than the day I had found out that I was on my own in that forest, abandoned.

Shaking my head, I brought myself out of my thoughts and looked around. The sun had risen higher in the sky as I had been lost in my thoughts. I frowned then, as something caught my eye. There seemed to be something in the distance that was reflecting the sun.

I squinted my eyes at it. The white sail of a ship came into sight, followed by a broken wooden mast. My eyes widened when my mind finally registered the ship. I quickly began to make blue portals appear in front of me. Stepping into one, I appeared out of the other. Before I could fall to my death, I quickly made a second set of shimmering portals appear in order to catch me and propel me forwards.

I knew how unfriendly the villagers were to strangers. That is, after all, the reason why there were so few strangers that visited the island to begin with. Once, I was told that maps wouldn't even have the island on it.

Then I remembered how there had been a storm last night. There were tornado's forming in the sea around the island. The only reason I knew of them was because of how Moon and I liked to stay up at night. We usually layed down on top of the totem that grew on top of my tree-house in order to watch the stars together. We had watched as multiple tornado's suddenly form last night. I had voiced my concern to Moon, for any travelers that might have gotten caught up in it jokingly. I hadn't thought that travelers might actually get caught.

With a smile forming on my face, I felt my hands heat up with energy again. Without really thinking about it, I hadn't taken very long to reach the area where I had seen the boat. I made a portal next to the top of a tall tree and landed on one of it's many branches.

The ship came in silently, following the current of the water unquestioningly. It had begun to hit rocks with it's metal prow as it went. I didn't see any movement on the dock. There was no crew. There was no captain. No one was guiding the ship as it followed the strongest water currents.

After a few minutes of continued silence, I grew curious. Making a portal appear where I wanted to land first, I silently made a portal just in front of me. I easily stepped through my blue portal and landed on the deck of the deserted ship only a moment later. My feet had barely made any noise at all as I moved.

Looking around, I noticed that the deck wasn't nearly as empty as I had originally thought. There were broken pieces of wooden floor boards scattered about. The mast had fallen down, looking as though it were snapped in half somehow. My eyes widened when I saw that it seemed to have landed on top of someone. I grabbed the mast and moved it so that it was no longer crushing the person underneath it. Then I helped out the knocked out person so that he was in the middle of the deck. He seemed to be an old man, with a long white beard. He was clutching a golden shovel in his left hand.

As I looked around more carefully, I saw that he wasn't the only one who had been buried. It looked like the entire crew was on deck after all. I repeated the process of fetching the people four more times. When I was done, five people were quietly resting on the boat of the deck. The second person that I helped out was a young woman with blond hair and pointy ears. Beside her was a man with flaming red hair. He had been holding a sword with a single eye that has been watching me quietly from the beginning. It's blade was probably what had caught my attention from so far away. As I had moved to the hull of the ship, I helped out a woman who wore a green outfit of leaves. Her hair was the same shade of green as her outfit. Leaves were also wrapped around her ankles and wrists. I wondered how these plant's hadn't died yet and looked rather healthy. Beside her was a boy in blue. He had the same type of hat as me, making me even more curious about these people.

Once everyone was in the middle of the deck, I proudly put my hands on my hips. I was glad that I was able to help out at least a little. No one seemed to be very hurt- the most injury they had were a few bruises. Then I noticed that the sword was still staring at me. Was it a Shushu? I had heard about those from Botan as a passing idea to get back at Saul.

I looked back at the boy in blue and studied him for a long while, taking in his features. He looked around the same age as me. I felt as though I had seen him somewhere before... but I knew that I'd never met him. His clothes were very similar to what I wore, but all blue. Only his shirt was yellow and it had a pocket in it where I saw something move.

Curious, I crouched down to see what was in his pocket. I moved my hand slowly and watched the boy's face as I grabbed the soft thing that was in there. Removing it, I saw that it was a small, round bird. I had never seen this kind on the island.

I had never seen this many different type of people outside of the village in general. The idea made me a little giddy. These people came with no opinions of me. They might even be possible friends that I could make.

The little yellow bird moved around in my hand. It snuggled cutely against my thumb. As it moved, I noticed a blue feather on its tail and wondered if that was there a moment ago.

The little bird's eyes suddenly opened tiredly. It locked eyes with me and I gave it a warm smile. Not a moment later and the little bird's eyes suddenly became two large saucers. It shot out of my hand like a bullet, chirping wildly. I heard the sword laugh loudly from it's position on the deck of the ship. I couldn't help but chuckle as I watched the little bird fly around my head in repetitive circles. Then I noticed that the five people on the deck had started to stir because of the noise that the bird was making. At that I grew quiet.

I took a step back from them, not really sure what to expect if they suddenly saw me on their ship. I looked to the boy who wore similar clothing as me one last time before I panicked. I quickly threw a portal to somewhere in the distance and made a second one near my feet. I quickly hopped into it, and appeared on the branch of a nearby tree. From there, I watched what was happening on the ship.

Each person got up respectively, groggily. The boy who had had the bird in his pocket grabbed the bird from the air, as though he were silencing an alarm clock. It's chirping died down instantly, but the little bird looked as though it was trying to tell him something. The old man started to run around the deck, trying to repair it. The rest of them made their way off of the ship the moment that it touched the beach. They had begun to explore the forest. Knowing that they were still a long ways from the village, I decided to go back and see Moon.

He had to know about my crazy morning.
