Crystal woke up the next morning. At first, she didn't know where she was for she was expecting the cold cell she was calling her home for the past seven years.
Looking around Crystal realized today was the day she would meet her dragon. Crystal wondered if she would meet the elders as well. She missed the Evergreen elder named Forest.
The last time she saw him was just before the elders disappeared and shortly after Ray, the Evergreen forest keeper died. Crystal knew that she should have told the riders she was Princess Jelena Salvera's daughter but the truth was she didn't know her mom at all.
What she remembered were her mother's kind and loving ways. She would have preferred to remember her mother that way.
Her blond hair and green eyes full of life was something Crystal would never forget about her mother. Crystal stood up and started to prepare for the day.
