Gilbert's eyes filled with tears, although he managed to pass it off with a yawn. "c-could you?!" he asked moving to stand by Kiana "that would be......and mom......dad wouldn't miss....." he started babling. He saw the old man smiling and the others trying not to laugh so he stoped talking. "thank you." he said finally and moved back to where he had been sitting before.

Now I shall give you the stone that has called for you." raising a green sphear and offering it the Gill. "Gillbert, you have a free spirit and an ever moveing imagination. I present to you the wind." He laid in in his hand.
pulling out the purple next. "Korrin, you are stead fast and seem tough like stone but, ine the earth there is also plants. Only tsme can change you. I present you with the earth." next was yellow. "Ardermis, quick to act and reason later. Never knowing where your next strike will land as long as it is not in the same place twice. I present you with lightning."
Then was black. "Enzeru, You are on that hides your true self. though you seem harsh, you show only your shadow. I present to you the shadow. Know thea all darkness must have light to exist." Then he pulled up the perfectly clear one. "Kiana, you have humbled your self to the poorest of the poor and have been comitted the the well being of others before your own. Your smile alone has healing powers. I prsent to you the light." Then was red. "Katara, you have a pasionate spirit that may sometimes burn but leave in its wake, new life. I present to you fire." This time he placed his other hand over hers and gave her a samll wink. As he looked to Darek and removed his hands, all the burn scars were gone. "Darek, you are at times gentle as a flowing stream. But when you must you are as strong as the raging sea. But remeber that over time the gentle stream can overcome the greates of moutains. I present to you water." he said, placing the last stone in his hand.

Enzeru was sitting outside against the old dragoons house, tears rolling down her face. She had heard her name, but didn't want to go inside to get her orb when they would be able to tell that she had been crying. Why old man? Why do you have to die? Why do you have to leave me hear alone?

Katara smiled when he gave her the orb, but was shocked when her scars were gone. Smiling widely, she held the orb tightly. Her eyes darted around the room, but she found Enzeru gone, the clear orb sat on her seat. Worry came across Katara, but she didn't get up. It was impossible for her to disrupt the magical moment that was happening to all of them. She looked to Derak for his expression on that things that were happening.

Kiana held the clear orb in her hand. Smiling, she looked up at the old dragoon. "I have something that I wish to give you as well old dragoon, though it doesn't compare to the greatness of the gift you have given me." She held out her hand with the sky blue box in it.

Gillbert grinned at the Dragoon. "free spirit huh?" he said laughing a little "nice. thank you..." he said, his eyes filling up with tears again as the circumstances under which he was reciving the orb fully hit him.

Katara smiled, hugging Gill in a friendly way, "Aww. It's okay!" She giggled. Letting go, and held the orb in her hand, it glowing against her skin. "Hey, how do we... uh... activate them?" She asked the Old Dragoon.

The old man smiled widely at Kiana as he accepted the gift. "Now what do we have here?" and he slowly opened it. "To activate them you must first earn the spirit within. You will travle to the moutains in the south-west. The is a cave in wich one of each tribe of dragon is gathered. You mus earn thier trust and respect before they will join you."
Darek made Eye contact with Katara and stood. Grabing her orb he left the hut and stood at the door, looking to Enzeru. "I am going to be missing him to. He played a large part in all of our growing up. He was like a secound father to me at times. It hurts to hold it in and it is scary to let it out. But I know he will always be with me in spirit." He held out the orb. "And with you, through this. Will you come with us?"

"Hey!" Katara gasped, following Derak. "What the-" then she scilence herself, as she listened to Derak. Instead of scolding him, she knealed down next to Enzeru and nodded, "Yeah. The stories are real. We need the past, as much as it hurts, to learn the future." She murmured softly. "If it wasn't for the Old Dragoon, what would we be?" She asked. She didn't try to touch Enzeru, or give her the orb. She stood silently. It was past one o'clock now, she could tell. She walked into the hut and kneeled down in front of the Old Dragoon. "You've been like a father to us, replacing ones we sometimes didn't have. Now you're being a mentor. We all know the future, or part of it. I'll miss your stories, and I'll miss you. But I can't wait to make my own stories." She said quietly, hugging the old man softly, silent tears rolling from her eyes. "But I must say goodbye to you." She said, standing.
As she walked form the hut, she glanced at Derak. She wondered if she would ever see him again. She wondered if he'll still go into the army. The Kings Army. She hated the King now. She smiled at Enzeru, before she walked down the path. Once on the road, she let her tears fall from her face like rain. She gripping her orb in one hand she swallowed. She started her way home. Her empty hut out of the village.

*I step forward to claim the little sphere. I hold it in my hand for a moment. It felt good in my grasp, warm and cool at the same time.* "Earth huh? I guess that'll work." *I feel a slight build up behind my eyes.* 'Oh no Korrin, not you too. Go ahead and let these guys do the crying. You're tough. You're cool. You're.....' *A single tear slides out of my left eye.* 'Damn it.....' "You rest easy now Old Timer. You rest easy..." *I pat the dragoon's shoulder gently and exit his little house, stage left, for the last time. When I walk outside I find most of the rest blubbering and bawling and trying to console Enzeru.* 'Good luck y'all. I may have Earth but that dame's got a heart of stone and scrap iron........' *Rather than racing home to collect a bag of a few earthly possessions, I decide to stick around. I lean against the wall of the hut next to the door, watching the sorrowful clump of new dragoons.*

Katara arrived at her hut, her small little hut. Walking inside, she found it clean like always. Swallowing down tears, she walked down the hall to her room. Grabbing her knapsac, she stuff it with clothes, books, and others such things. She sighed, abandoning her packing and she escaped her home through the backway. She sighed, sitting down. Her walk hadn't taken long and it was only around one thirty. Sliding off her shoes and socks, she took down her hair and started walking.
Over hills, and through a valley, then she finally stopped. She found her place of peace. Falling next to the pool of water made by a waterfall, she stroked the water surface, before dipping her feet in. Falling back on her back in the grass, she sighed, staring up at the clouds and the sun. She gazed the mountian peaks. They were beautiful. She sighed, closing her eyes, her hand tight around her orb, it's heat against her skin.

Darek was about to follow Katara when the old man called for him. He set down the black orb next to her and went back into the hut. The ole man had moved to the back of his hut and was beconing to him.
"I must give you more information before you leave. Meet me here an hour before sunset. I will tell the others to meet you at the center of town at sunset and then you will leave." The old man smiled "You kid have been a blesing to my life. I can now die with a full heart.
Darek left the hut with a heavy heart. He wandered out of the village. Drawn to something, he jus kept walking. Until he came apon Katara. Darek stood far enough not to be noticed and leaned agenst a tree as tears ran down his face. He had now let it realy hit him that the old dragoon was going to be gone.

Gill ran out after Derek, following him while he wandered. He looked mostly at the ground, glancing up at Derek occasionally just to make sure where he was going. "Um...so...are you still goin to you know.....leave?" he finally asked, swallowing a little bit.

Enzeru didn't look up until Derek had left, glancing over at the orb that he layed beside her. She started talking aloud, even though she knew Korrin was still there. "I wasn't always like this. I used to care about people and trusted everyone, but I learned the hard way that you had to be careful who you trusted. Eber since I came here, the old dragoon has been the only person to gain my trust. Once he dies, my life will be the same way it was before I met him, cold and lonely." She reached over and picked up the orb, holding it in front of her face. "It mimics the shadow that has covered my heart for the past ten years. I wonder if it has ever flashed even the smallest ray of light. I guess the only way to find out is to find the dragon that it belongs to. I'm in."
