A girl who wore a tan dress with black stretchy pants and tan boots lined with wolf fur. The girl also wore had a hood which was also lined with wolf fur, which her long brown hair laid over the inside of the hood. The girl stood against a tree as she watched from a distance as the rest of her people danced and sang around a fire. Finally, the girl looked away and decided to go for a little walk. She left the friendly and cheery comfort of the fire and walked into the shadows of the forest. The moon above gave some light but as she walked she heard something around her. It sounded of a woman's voice but light like a flute,

" Aha, ahaaaaaa, aha, ahaaaa, aha, ahaaaaa."  The girl listened again and for the second time it sounded like it was coming from a small cave. The girl went into the cave ducking her head and followed it all till it came to an end. She noticed that the rock seemed to glimmer somehow. As the girl felt the rock she suddenly heard the same woman flute voice, just as the voice stopped the girl saw a moving creature come out of the rock and move around her. The creature was orange and it's outline seemed to flicker like fire. The creatures stopped to stare at the girl and the girl realized the creature was a fox. The girl smiled and said,

" I must be dreaming, this can't be real." The fox disappeared into a single flame and next came a blue falcon with it's wings moving in a wavy motion from one shade of blue to the next. The falcon flew around her and the girl started to laugh. Suddenly the falcon stopped and flapped its wings at the girl spraying bits of water at her face. Still the girl didn't believe it. With that the falcon flew around till finally, it dived down and an invisible pool of water formed as the falcon dived into it. The girl tried to touch it but suddenly she saw a golden green color form into what looked like a cat with spots and a thin tail. The cat slinked stealthily around the girl who tried to pet the cat's back but the cat raised its back and its fur as it gave a loud hissing sound. The girl pulled he hand back and watched as the cat swatted its paw at her but then the paw mark seemed to suck the rest of the cat in, till finally it disappeared. Lastly a purple dragon came flying in and around the girl, leaving small gusts of wing behind it. The dragon then flew in front of the girl before it flew around making a sort of tornado before it disappeared just like the others. The girl was about to leave the cave when she heard the voice again and she saw light behind her in the corner of her eye. She turned around but when she looked she saw nothing so she continued on her way but when she looked in front of her she saw the four creatures staring back at her. She heard the falcon say,

" She didn't feel my water." Then the dragon said,

" She didn't sense my wind." 

" She didn't feel the burn of my fire." Said the fox, and lastly the cat said,

" And she didn't stumble at my paw." Then the voice sang again. The girl looked around then back at the creatures and watched as they started to fly and prance around her making a sort of gray whirlwind around her with bits of colors. As the whirlwind grew bigger the girl felt her body going limp till finally the whirlwind stopped. When the girl looked at herself she saw her hands were white and misty, she was a ghost. She looked down and saw her own body with her eyes closed. The girl gasped and was about to float down and touch her lifeless body when suddenly she felt something grab her shoulders and take her up into the air when she looked up she saw the purple dragon flying her off.

Meanwhile a younger girl with long red hair in a braid looked back and saw lights coming from somewhere in the forest. She walked towards the lights and when she came to a cave she walked into it but what she saw was a body laying on the ground. The younger girl choked on her breath as she realized that this wasn't just an ordinary person.... this was her sister, Cattail. 

The smell of smoke remains still flowed through Foxtail's nostrals with ever breath she took. Tigerlilly lay on a series of fur blankets with one made out of a coyote blanket covering her. Foxtail continued to sleep peacefully with her dreams carrying away. She dreamt of a forest with thick white mist. Suddenly the forest disappeared and a bright orange and red light filled the darkness forming trees and bushes on fire. Again the red forest disappeared till the color of the forest became a purplish color with misty waves on its ends. The forest disappeared again this time it was brown and blocky, lastly when the forest appeared again it moved wavily and overlapped with different shades of blue. Just as Foxtail was about to wake she saw the same colors but this time they were all in the shape of different animals. The first one was orange and red and it was a fox, second was purple which was a dragon with spikes all along its back to the tip of its tail. Next animal was a brown cat with a spots and a thin tail, lastly the blue creature was a large falcon with the same blue color waved wings. Then behind them was a misty white figure that seemed to be a girl with long hair. As the creatures and girl disappeared Foxtail heard a soft and flute like voice sound come from around her making a,

" Oha, ohaaaaa, oha, ohaaaa." Foxtail immediately awoke and sat up looking around, but she didn't see anything except for the small red light of embers still burning in the fire next to her. The embers allowed her to make out the shapes of a box, a twin basket and satchel. She stood up and walked out of her tent. A small glimpse of sun shown over the horizon making the sky light up at the edge of the horizon. Foxtail who had long red hair with a small piece of her hair put in a braid also wore a tan colored dress with tassels and also wore boots with the top cuffed and the ends of them had tassels as well. She also had a twin belt around her waist with an orange feather, red leaf and a black glittering stone on it. She walked up a rocky cliff up to a tent which was apart from the rest of the camp and once she came to the tent she pulled the flap of the tent open, peeking inside and asking quietly,

" Chief, are you up?" What she saw was a man with long gray hair laying still sleeping with a girl who also had long red hair. Foxtail sighed and as she took her head out closing the tent flap she suddenly heard the voice say again,

" Oha, ohaaa... oha, ohaaaaa." She looked around but saw no one so she sighed again and quickly made her way down the cliff side back to her tent where she pulled out of the basket a fox skin cloak with a large bushy tail and the head of the fox was made into a hood. Foxtail also grabbed her satchel and opened it to make sure she had everthing. Next she grabbed her favorite dagger and put it in the satchel as well. Finally as she was about to walk out of her tent she looked back and thought, I will find out what my dream means, no matter what. Then she pulled the flap of her tent to the side and walking through, back out into the prairie. Then she walked towards the forest that bordered part of their territory while the other was open to a cliff with a sandy beach near the ocean was. As she was about to set foot out of her territory she looked back at her camp and said,

" The fox will come and dream with me when it thinks It thinks I am ready to be found." With that she disappeared into the still dark forest, letting the shadows overcome her. 

Foxtail had been walking for a little while now and the sun was up. She came to a somewhat open part of the forest and continued to walk. Just then Foxtail spotted something moving in the trees around her, but when she turned she didn't see anything so she continued to walk through the open clearing. As she stepped over a rather large mossy log she caught sight of something orange flash behind some trees. She now began to be aware that someone was definitely here. As she started to walk again, she suddenly found herself face to face with a fox. But this fox was different it had a purple tipped tail and stripes on its cheeks. Foxtail smiled and said,

" Hello Chula, it's nice seeing you this fine morning." Suddenly a flash of white light and in place of the fox stood a girl with long red hair and an orange outfit with real fox ears and a tail. The girl also had a sort of leather belt which was connected to a sort of pouch for a dagger. Foxtail heard Chula ask,

" What are you doing in our territory?" Foxtail said,

" I had a dream about some kind of magical elemental creatures, one of them was a fox of fire, and since you can shape-shift into a fox I thought you might be able to help me." Chula walked over and sat on the log with one leg bent on it and the other dangling down as she said,

" Okay, what do you want to know?" Foxtail said,

" Well, I want to know, what does the fox mean to you?" Chula replied,

" Well, to me it means witty, smart and clever. But if you'r talking about some sort of elemental power then normally for our kind it would be fire." Foxtail nodded and said,

" Alright, now can you tell me anything about any other animals you know of who have special powers?" Chula shook her head saying,

" No, we have groups of animals and every full moon those groups of animals gather together to remember the story of one of the four animals that where the founders of our kind. One of them being the fox. I do not know the other three animals, we are supposed to keep our animal a secret from the others." Foxtail eyed Chula curiously and asked,

 " So, if you are so different from each other why do you still say you are all the same?" 

" We are all shapeshifters are we not, we stay together even if we have differences." Replied Chula. Again Foxtail nodded then another question came to her and she asked,

" Do you know anyone else I can ask about these creatures?" Chula nodded and said,

" Yes, but our leader would be the best choice if you want to hear the whole story of all the creatures, all though she isn't very accepting to strangers especially from other societies." Foxtail nodded and said,

" Well, can you lead me to your leader?" Chula stood up and said,

" Did you not hear me the first time, she's not very accepting to other people like you, and I could get into trouble for even talking to you. They still don't trust anyone even after that dragon flyer girl helped." Foxtail sighed and said,

" I want to figure out this dream, whether you'r going to help me or not." Chula sighed and said,

" Look, I'm only friends with you because you helped save my people and you share the same fox feeling that I felt when I did my first shape-shift, but I'm trying to keep you and I both safe, now I've heard of a temple up on a mountain. It's the closest to Belch mountain without getting burned, there are four leaders who know everything about our history. I suggest going to them." Foxtail nodded and said,

" Thank you Chula." Chula nodded in reply and transformed back into a fox before running and disappearing into the forest. Foxtail then walked over to a tree and started to climb it. When she got to the top she saw belch mountain and another mountain a little lower from it. Foxtail looked and thought, That must be the mountain Chula was talking about, with that she started to climb down from the tree. When she was back down she started walking towards the direction of the mountain near Belch mountain, the volcano. As she walked the sun started to get higher and higher in the air. Suddenly when she came to rest on a rock near a stream she heard something in the trees. She walked over and immediately ducked down behind a bush. She saw Captain Hook looking up at a few dragon flyer girls and one boy. Foxtail gasped and narrowed her eyes thinking, I have to do something. At that moment Foxtail heard Captain Hook say,

" I will ask you this one more time girl, where is Peter Pan?!" Foxtail narrowed her eyes and saw Jordan one of the dragon flyers and the one who helped saved them and the shapeshifters from Captain Hook, she said,

" Well, like I said before, I don't know and even if I did know I wouldn't tell you." Captain Hook narrowed his eyes and said,

" I don't think you heard me the first time... I have your dragons and I will get rid of them, only if you tell me where Peter Pan is." Foxtail new she had to do something. She looked around and saw a couple of stones. Foxtail took one in her hand and tossed it into a bush. Captain Hook turned towards the direction that the rock hit and said,

"  Mr. Smee, take a couple of pirates with you and go scout the area, I want no one here." Mr. Smee saluted and said,

" Of course, Captain, Sir." With that he and a couple other pirates disappeared into the forest. Foxtail gave a sneaky smile and started to climb a nearby tree. Once at the top she called out the rooster noise Peter always makes, saying it in her best impression of Peter,

" Ar, aro, arooo! Hey old feather hat, let my friends go!" Immediately Captain Hook looked up at the rest of his crew and whispered,

" The rest of you! Hide!" Foxtail snickered and said again in her Peter pan voice,

" Ha, you didn't think I saw your entire crew? Well then you must a barnical in a feathered hat. Plus, I brought back up!" With that Foxtail threw her dagger at the large bag with the moving figures inside. She made it cut the top of the bag off making the bag fall and open up, and out came the Silverstrike dragons. With that Foxtail, jumped from the tree as her blade came around and she caught it in her hand. Foxtail walked up to Captain Hook and said,

" You heard Peter, leave his friends alone." Captain Hook smiled and said,

" Why of course, why don't you go and cut them down." Foxtail narrowed her eyes and said,

" I don't need too, Jordan, call your dragon to cut the rope." With that Jordan made her tongue noise and her dragon shot a single spike which made them fall. The dragons quickly went to their owners and once the dragon flyers all stood up Jordan stepped up to Captain Hook and said,

" You see, even you couldn't defeat Peter pan, and um...." Her voice trailed off and Foxtail narrowed her eyes at Captain Hook saying,

" And, Foxtail... that's me. Now I suggest you start running before these guys go and shoot some spikes at you and pin you to a tree." Captain Hook finally said,

" Come on boys, step lively, and back to the Jolly Rodger!" With that Captain Hook and his crew ran through the forest. Foxtail smiled and turned to Jordan as she said,

" Thanks Foxtail, but uh... where is Peter?" Foxtail smiled and said,

" Oh, sorry. I tricked Captain Hook into thinking Peter was here, when really it was only me." Jordan then said,

" Wow, nice going Foxtail. Is there anything we can do in thanking for helping us?" Foxtail smiled and said,

" Well, I'm, trying to get up to Belch mountain, or at least the mountain closest to Belch mountain, I could really use a bit of a lift." Jordan smiled and said,

" It would be our pleasure, by the way have you seen Peter, I was trying to look for him while we were out scouting our territory. But I couldn't find him." Foxtail shook her head saying,

" No, I don't know where he is either. But I promise I will look." Jordan smiled and said,

" Thanks, now let's give you a ride." With that Jordan hovered in the air till she grabbed Foxtail by her waist and lifted her up into the air. As they flew over the forest Foxtail heard something, she looked down and immediately saw a blaze of lighting come out of nowhere. Foxtail's eyes went wide as she said,

" Jordan! Look out!" Jordan quickly dodged a lightning bolt but suddenly as she turned another one came missed Jordan's arm but must have hit Jordan's dragon somewhere because her dragon gave a cry of pain and they all went tumbling down through the trees. 

Suddenly they landed on a net somewhere and realized that they were in a part of the ninja hideout. Foxtail slowly stood up but fell back down at the unbalanced net below her. She looked up and saw multiple ninja's looking down at them. One of them came down and stood on a branch closest to them. When the ninja came out of the shadows the ninja pulled off her mask and said,

" Jordan? Is that you?" Jordan looked up at the ninja and said,

" Yeah, it's me." The ninja then asked,

" Why aren't you in the sky, with your dragon flyers and who's your new friend." Jordan picked up her dragon and said,

" Well, this is Foxtail, she's from the Indian tribe."

" As I can tell." Replied the ninja. Then Jordan said,

" And, a bolt of lightning came and struck my dragon's wing and we fell down here." The ninja slid down the rope and down to meet Jordan. She looked at her wing and said,

" Oh, dear. Thats pretty bad. We have an antidote for this, our Nina's have gottan struck by lightning before when we did our missions during storms, but she won't be able to fly for at least a couple days." Jordan sighed and said,

" Well, it's worth a shot. Thanks Sundew." Foxtail eyed Sundew suspiciously and said,

" So, uh... Sundew is it, what was that lightning. I think It was coming from here." Sundew said,

" Oh, yeah, thats our new lightning dragon. We found her injured and we where going to give her to you but she was too heavy for us to carry so we are trying to train her but, it's not going so well." Jordan smiled and said,

" Well, if you can help my dragon, then I'm sure I can help you with training the lightning dragon." Sundew smiled brightly and said,

" That would be wonderful, thank you." Just then dragon flyers flew down from the trees and held out spears with dragon spikes for ends and their dragon's tails where posed to strike as well. They surrounded Jordan and Foxtail with their spears out at Sundew. Jordan stepped in front of the flyers saying,

" Guys, remember the ninja's are our friends." One flyer closest to Foxtail said with narrowed eyes,

" I thought she was the one who almost fed you and a couple lost boys to a dragon." Jordan rolled her eyes and said,

" No, that their last leader, this is Sundew the one who stood up to the old leader who wanted me to get eaten by a dragon." With that the other dragon flyers pointed their spears up so they wouldn't risk hurting the ninja's. Jordan sighed and said,

" Okay, and now that we are all friends, Sundew, show me this lightning dragon, and then you can have my dragon so she can get better." Jordan handed her dragon over to Sundew who took the silver creature in her arms as gentle as she could. Then Sundew turned and waved to a ninja saying,

" Cut her down." Foxtail watched as the ninja took a small shurikan and threw it at the rope that was tied to the tree which was holding up the net. Suddenly Foxtail felt herself falling. She looked down preparing for the impact but suddenly someone grabbed her arm and swung to the ground safely. She looked up and saw another ninja. Foxtail sighed and said,

" Thank you." The ninja nodded and once Foxtail was back on the ground the ninja swung back over. Foxtail turned to Jordan and said,

" Um... Jordan, I need to get to the mountain." Jordan looked and said,

" Oh, yes... Hey Eli, can you give Foxtail a lift?" A dragon flyer with blonde hair flew down and grabbed Foxtail by the waist and flew up to the trees waving back at Sundew saying,

" It was nice meeting you!" Sundew waved back saying,

" Have a safe flight." With that the dragon flyer flew up past the trees and into the air.
