As everyone slept, I woke up. Not being able to sleep due to voices in my head really makes me sound crazy. To everyone I am a magnet for dragons, with me they are not safe.

I quickly cut all the saddle straps making them unrideable, before I hop on Aries and fly through the sky at a very high level. I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.

"Rawrrrrrrrr!" I hear the sound of a two dragons following behind me, both have noticable black veins. 

"High Aries." I order as she soon soars up. "On three." I say to myself as we quickly fly upwards, "1, 2, 3" I jump off Aries landing on one of the dragons with a surprise attack. I stab the dragon through the back as black blood splashes onto my face. It begins an attempt to buck me off, 

"Aries!" I shout as I take my sword out, slicing one of it's wings before jumping back down onto Aries who took care of the second dragon.

"Well that was... easy. Most likely Earth Dragons, their wings weren't strong." 

I look around noticing the large mountain range, I could already feel the cool air, and sense the metal. 

I eventually land, noticing only one cave. One only.

"Come on Aries. I am not leaving you out here," I walk into the cave, noticing Aries hesitating. "What's wrong?" I walk back towards her.

I touch her head as my mind is filled with... I don't even know what it is. It is clouded, it tells me to stay away. I raise my hand off her head.

"I see." I look down, "Well then, stay here. I shouldn't be too long. Stay hidden." 

I begin to walk in without her.

As I walk in closer, it is harder to see. I can barely see anything. 

"Where am I? This was such a stupid id-"

All of a sudden I begin to fall, slide down a steep slope. I scream as I feel my clothing being torn. 

I hit the ground. 

My eyes closed. I can't stand to open them... knowing I will be still in the dark... still alone... and stuck. 

"I'm sorry..." I mutter, confessing to myself. "I messed up. Again. I don't know anything of what is going on. I don't know why. Just please...someone, something guide me."

I slowly open my eyes to see a slight glow coming from my hands. 

"No...no way." I sit up to admire my hands, glowing yelllow...no... glowing gold. "My element... it has to be light." 

"Elena..." I hear a voice, it sounds so close, yet so far, it sound familiar.

"Who are you?"

"Elena... you are too close to give up. I believe in who you are."

"Please tell me! Who are you? Who am I? What is going on?"

"Some things are best left unknown. For who I am, I am you, but less. You are closer than you think, you know more then you can see. Go."

"No, wait!" I yell as the voice fades.

I can now see. The cave is a dark blue grey shade, it is old, dark, but now I can see.

I begin to make way down the cave, following the only path left. 

"Elena!" I hear an echo, I turn to see light following me.  They noticed!

I begin to run, if they find me they will stop me.

"I see you! Don't run!" I hear it is Ashton. Why him?
