Janelle's large wings were carrying her across a vast ocean; at the point where many birds would have stopped and turned around with tired wings. She was skimming close to the surface of the water, watching her reflection move as she did. The sun was nearing its highest point in the sky, shining warm rays across the length of her body. She was beginning to approach the shore, excitement grew in her chest, knowing the arrival to her home was near. The shore held a large tanned rock, with a arch shaped towards the bottom, and she took the opportunity to fly through it, pulling her wings in and twirling her large body. She banked right and away from the large ocean. Her speed slowed as she flapped higher into the air, rising above a stone forest. As she flew she grazed a tall stone with her paw, enjoying the thoughts of her memories of flying through her when she was a youngling.<span style="font-style: italic">The easiest way to learn to be a quick flyer</span>she thought. She flight took her over a wide waterfall; one that hand a hill nearby that led to her home. She approached the hill, tilting her body upward, and spreading her wings wide to gain speed as she conquered the height of the hill.<br/><br/>Janelle gracefully made it to the top, hovering there to look across the vast land. The valley spread out across for miles, offering bright green grass and trees spread thinly around the area. Mountains surrounded the area, leading off into many distant parts, creating large and thin trails and more valleys across the miles. One of the mountains close by held a cave, though was too small for some of the larger dragons. Happiness grew inside of Janelle's belly and she began the flight downward to land.<br/><br/>Once she landed, she was greeted by many of her kind. The majority of the inhabitants were in dragon form with the ones who could changing on occasion though having small reason to without the presence of humans. She began her walk to one of the mountains. Her body was thin, and when she walked it created an effect more seen on humans; swaying her hips. She made it to the mountain, a large dragon-made cave was at the base, the opening fit for any dragons to fit through. The inside held a large den looking room and branched off into smaller hallways and she walked through one; one that opened up into another large room. On one side was a large crimson dragon; large spikes covered his head like a porcupine, along with spikes on his wings as well as his tail, though his face was soft<span style="font-style: italic">Unless he's mad!</span>She thought. The large dragon looked at her, sending thoughts to her mind.<span style="font-style: italic">Aetheiria. You have returned. And with much experience I am hoping.</span><br/>Her thoughts remembered the day they asked her to leave for her studies almost 150 years ago; she was now nearing 400.<span style="font-style: italic">Hello Elder</span>She said bowing at the dragon before her.<span style="font-style: italic">Come with me young dragon, we have something to discuss.</span>And with this, he led her out of the cave opening she had just entered. They began approaching a white dragon; one that was closer to her size, though with thicker muscles along the length of his body. She knew she recognized him, though her thoughts seemed distorted. The were standing in front of the white dragon, his neck was craned high, eyeing her. The elder spoke and said,<span style="font-style: italic">This is Fraener. You two shall be working together as well as become partners. I hope this is satisfactory to the both of you.</span>And with those thoughts, he turned around and carried on his way, leaving no room from questioning. She watched him leaving, bothered at the thought of being left alone with this dragon. Her memories were swimming with thoughts of her and Fraener as younglings,<span style="font-style: italic">He was a pest!</span>She thought.<span style="font-style: italic">He looks so grand now.</span>She turned to him, looking him in the eye, knowing they both shared a common goal; both were meant to become elders, and now they were to become partners for life.<br/>Fraener was looking at her, his left eye risen in wonder of her next actions. She huffed, grey smoke came out of her nose in frustration. She tilted her head up and spread out her wings and took off with one large thrust of her wings. She hovered overhead of Fraener, flapping twice to create some distance between the two of them. She landed, hind legs first and began slowly walking her way. Her destination unknown at the moment.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=N&amp;rlz=1C1SKPC_enUS335US354&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=653&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=S10JE20OLYYDxM:&amp;imgrefurl=http://news.everychina.com/vz405cfb-stone_forest.html&amp;docid=a0UuLgAuecg9jM&amp;imgurl=http://img2.everychina.com/img/64/23/93/bc8f5341cb3efb3cf7eba5e589.jpg&amp;w=800&amp;h=534&amp;ei=TFF_T7C9CYaO8wTIjJG7Bw&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=862&amp;vpy=61&amp;dur=868&amp;hovh=183&amp;hovw=275&amp;tx=217&amp;ty=141&amp;sig=108323566483394585922&amp;page=2&amp;tbnh=148&amp;tbnw=208&amp;start=18&amp;ndsp=24&amp;ved=1t:429,r:22,s:18,i:183">Stone Forest</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=N&amp;rlz=1C1SKPC_enUS335US354&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=653&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=8CpzaUvPQZeIGM:&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.drben.net/ChinaReport/Guizhou_Province/Guizhou_Province-Index.html&amp;docid=PMHLdr7pMmJ6PM&amp;imgurl=http://www.drben.net/files/China/City/Guizhou_Province/Sources/Deco/Huangguoshu_Falls__Guizhou_Province__China_PRC_.jpg&amp;w=1600&amp;h=1200&amp;ei=TFF_T7C9CYaO8wTIjJG7Bw&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=737&amp;vpy=329&amp;dur=14&amp;hovh=194&amp;hovw=259&amp;tx=143&amp;ty=152&amp;sig=108323566483394585922&amp;page=4&amp;tbnh=135&amp;tbnw=152&amp;start=66&amp;ndsp=24&amp;ved=1t:429,r:3,s:66,i:296">Waterfall</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=N&amp;rlz=1C1SKPC_enUS335US354&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=653&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=SfbXJGeUBnf-MM:&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.absolutechinatours.com/Anshun-attractions/anshun-dragon-palace-215.html&amp;docid=A4tdN0KLBDkZDM&amp;imgurl=http://www.absolutechinatours.com/UploadFiles/ImageBase/Anshun%252520Dragon%252520Palace%252520(1)(1).jpg&amp;w=532&amp;h=505&amp;ei=TFF_T7C9CYaO8wTIjJG7Bw&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=1010&amp;vpy=238&amp;dur=1052&amp;hovh=219&amp;hovw=230&amp;tx=130&amp;ty=145&amp;sig=108323566483394585922&amp;page=4&amp;tbnh=146&amp;tbnw=154&amp;start=66&amp;ndsp=24&amp;ved=1t:429,r:16,s:66,i:324">Valley</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?start=115&amp;um=1&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=N&amp;rlz=1C1SKPC_enUS335US354&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=653&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=ZprhXtw_bw819M:&amp;imgrefurl=http://scenery.cultural-china.com/en/113Scenery10793.html&amp;docid=0dCINTAwV5I_RM&amp;imgurl=http://scenery.cultural-china.com/chinaWH/upload/2(598).jpg&amp;w=600&amp;h=400&amp;ei=aVF_T_3kIoeC8QT0l6C5Bw&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=363&amp;vpy=276&amp;dur=1356&amp;hovh=183&amp;hovw=275&amp;tx=108&amp;ty=115&amp;sig=108323566483394585922&amp;page=6&amp;tbnh=132&amp;tbnw=179&amp;ndsp=27&amp;ved=1t:429,r:8,s:115,i:102">Valley</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=N&amp;rlz=1C1SKPC_enUS335US354&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=653&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=MkYIoGct3KWAbM:&amp;imgrefurl=http://1dut.com/30-awesome-red-dragon-artworks&amp;docid=7X6-Ei-6qFrVjM&amp;imgurl=http://1dut.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/30-awesome-red-dragon-artworks-1dut.com-18.jpg&amp;w=742&amp;h=488&amp;ei=Ulp_T7qZGYGq8ASDxtW6Bw&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=416&amp;vpy=256&amp;dur=54&amp;hovh=182&amp;hovw=277&amp;tx=120&amp;ty=113&amp;sig=108323566483394585922&amp;page=2&amp;tbnh=124&amp;tbnw=188&amp;start=23&amp;ndsp=28&amp;ved=1t:429,r:2,s:23,i:217">Red Dragon</a>
