1 Saving The Dragon Stone

DRAGON MASTERS FLIGHT OF THE MOON DRAGON

CHAPTER 1 SAVING THE DRAGON STONE I am really worried about the Dragon Stone," said Drake. Six Dragon Masters sat around a dining table in King Roland's castle. Five of them lived in the castle: Drake, Bo, Rori, Ana, and Petra. Heru, the sixth Dragon Master, lived in the Land of Pyramids. The Dragon Stone had chosen each of them to connect with dragons.

Heru had flown a long way on Wati, his dragon. Wati was resting in the Dragon Caves. And Heru had brought important news the prime Dragon Stone was dying! "You are right to be worried, Drake," said Heru. "We must quickly find the prime stone so that we can try to save it. That is why I came here. My family thinks you and your friends can help us." "Wait — what exactly is the prime Dragon Stone?" Bo asked. Heru looked down. A green stone hung from a cord around his neck. Each of the others wore a stone just like it.

"We each wear a piece of the Dragon Stone to connect with our dragons," Heru explained. "All of our smaller stones come from the prime stone." "So is the prime stone huge?" asked Ana, who was also from the Land of Pyramids. "I think so," said Heru. "But I have never seen it. It has been kept inside a secret pyramid for many years. A scroll tells us that it will take six dragons to enter the pyramid. But first we must find it."

Just then, Griffith the wizard walked into the room. "I have spoken with King Roland," he said. "I asked if you may all go to the Land of Pyramids. He will tell us soon. But I will stay here and look for a way to save the Dragon Stone." "The king has to say yes!" said Rori. "If the Dragon Stone dies, we won't be able to connect with our dragons anymore." Petra, the newest Dragon Master, turned to Heru. "If you've never seen the prime stone, then how do you know it is dying?" she asked.

"Our family has a larger piece of the stone, just like Griffith does," Heru explained. "Its glow keeps fading. And lately, I have had trouble connecting with Wati. Those are signs that the prime stone is weakening." As Heru spoke, Drake's own Dragon Stone started to flicker. It wasn't glowing strong like it usually did when Worm, his Earth Dragon, communicated with him. But still, Drake heard his dragon's voice inside his head. Come! said Worm. It is — Then his voice stopped.
