CHAPTER 1 THE STRANGE SHADOW Drake and his Earth Dragon, Worm, stood in the Valley of Clouds. The wide, green space was tucked between King Roland's castle and some tall hills. As Drake had hoped, Griffith the wizard was waiting for them there. So were his fellow Dragon Masters: Bo, Rori, and Ana. They had all planned to meet up for a picnic.

But the wizard and Dragon Masters did not greet Drake and Worm. They all stared up at the sky, frowning. A strange black shadow was creeping across the bright, blue sky. "Is it nighttime already?" Drake asked, puzzled. "Those don't look like storm clouds." Drake's Dragon Stone glowed as he heard Worm's voice inside his head. It is not night. It is not a storm, Worm replied. Something bad is coming... Drake gasped. "Griffith! Worm says that something bad is coming." The wizard nodded. "I can feel it in my bones. Powerful magic is making this shadow." "Ana, Bo, let's go get our dragons!" cried Rori, her green eyes shining. "We can fly up there for a closer look!"

Ana shuddered. "I don't want to get closer. There's something really weird about that shadow." "Griffith, what should we do?" Bo asked. The wizard stroked his long white beard. "Let me consult my gazing ball. I think—" Everyone turned at the sound of galloping hooves. King Roland the Bold rode toward them on a chestnut-colored horse. The king was a big man with red hair, a bushy beard, and a tunic with a dragon symbol on it. Dirt sprayed up as he brought the horse to a stop.

"Wizard, what is happening to the sky?" he asked in his booming voice. "My kingdom is in a panic!" Before Griffith could answer, a bright light shone from above. Drake shielded his eyes. A Silver Dragon flew down, ridden by a girl wearing a green Dragon Stone. "Jean!" Drake called out. The girl climbed down from her dragon, her metal armor clinking. A sword was tucked into her belt. "Friends! I need your help!" Jean cried.
