The picture turned upside down, water shot out of the depths and Hisui had to close his eyes. When he opened it he found himself in a side street. He quickly changed form into a tern. Then he heard footsteps.

"I heard you're looking for a way to become a dragon!" a hooded figure thrust his hand out from under a cloak, the scales and claws leaving Hisui no doubt. This man was also a Draconian!

  "Yes, I do... No one on the bottom of the sea will help me... So I gave up looking there and travel….

...my family thinks I'm a voyage through the seven seas...

it suddenly echoed in Hisui's head.

…I told them I want to expand my horizons to do great things one day. For a long time they had no idea that I still believed in this 'fairy tale'. I just played the perfect daughter to them.

First my travels led me through the sea to the libraries of the draconians, but nothing! Nothing at all! They hadn't recorded this one!!! Everything else! For every dolphin droppings they had scriptures but not how to become a dragon!...

Hisui felt the gentle breeze turn into a sharp cold wind making his lips chapped like it was a cold January morning.

A brief moment was enough to transport him to a comfortably furnished house. He glanced out the window for a moment, he knew the city where Tiareh ended up.

It was the white city. where everyone was equal. His grandfather's birthplace.

Tiareh sat at a desk studying a book.

Thinking this was a memory, Hisui stepped out of the shadows, having taken the form of a dog.

But when Tiareh raised her eyes, so serious and piercing, he knew that she saw and recognized him.

...I made a pact with the devil. No! (she laughed) that man I met in the alley earlier was a dragon. But none of the good kind; at least for the Draconians. After all, it would be childish to think there is a race without black sheep, wouldn't it?... She got up from the chair and pointed, Hisui swallowed. He couldn't imagine what an enemy could look like here. Hesitantly, he did what Tiareh asked of him and jumped onto the chair. In the book the Seven Prisms were pointed out.

"A race is strongest when it is at war!" let Hisui.

…The story is about the time when the first dragons appeared and not long after they began vying for domination of the sea. Fascinating that these storms made sure that the contaminated land was cleaned up again.

But these stubborn, snooty pangolins only interested in power.

Well, at some point they made a pact and peace came across the seven seas. But their draining magic caused the seven leaders to perish and they retreated to a place no sea dragon would ever suspect...

The environment changed one last time.

Hisui stood behind Tiareh, knowing they were still at the mountain that belonged to the White City. But here at the foot of the mountain, deep in his heart, there was a gate. This can only be reached through a maze and traps made of water tunnels.

… This dragon was the first to transform into a sky dragon, he wanted to see the world and get to know other beings. Help them now that they could step out of the shadows.

  But the kings and his mother forbade it! It was the treasure of the dragons! No breed deserves this knowledge!

...at least that's what he told me...

over the course of his long life he recorded everything about the dragons, partly to get back at them. But at some point just because he missed her…. But when he returned, his sister sat on the throne, saying her parents had been swept away by the ravages of war and excess magic.

But their bones still had so much power that they hid them behind a whirlpool where no normal draconian or fish could reach.

  But she feared that other kings would take advantage of it. Her older brother figured he hated seeing her suffer and promised to find a place that was suitable. And so he built this underground labyrinth and treasury of the Dragon Kings.

(They looked up at a huge gate decorated with dragons.)

The new rulers agreed, no one wanted a short peace, so they brought the dragon bones to their brother, who brought them here. Here, nobody would find her, because nobody would find the way there.

Many draconians then followed his example and became sky dragons. She looked into Hisui's confused eyes and smiled.

  "Their first king had created the seven prisms for this. They turned the non-royal sea dragons into sky dragons, but in doing so they gave up all their powers that came with water. They were just flying lizards… well some developed other powers at some point. But they couldn't compare to the sheer power of a sea dragon.

Now, after generations of celestial dragons thriving, the ancient ruler decided to embark on a final journey. He took the prisms, which he hid on his body under long flowing clothes. He hadn't told anyone about them how they transformed. They thought it was his merit. A kind of magic only he could use. After all, he had managed to become a dragon on his own, right?... Tiareh remained silent for a moment, Hisui knew what was on her mind, the difference between her and him! A hot tear rolled down her face as she bit her lip to keep from sobbing out loud.

  …Unlike me (Tiareh had put her hand on the huge ornate doorknob and pushed it open, groaning, kicking up dust.) he had been a prince.

The prisms he gave to various peoples who were slowly blossoming.

  He told them this magic will help you, it can bring rain! Help your plants grow and protect your home from storms...

Suddenly, eerie magic shot out from inside the cave.

…When the seven kingdoms of the land, after fighting the dark knight, decided to give up their prisms so that no one could use their immense power to bring storms and ruin like he had done. Then the first sky dragon king revealed himself as one of the white ones from the council of this city.

Because he decided to wait here until his death, and may it be thousands of years! Here, where he could protect the prisms and his parents' bones. ...

Hisui saw the black shadow of a dragon.

  "The exit is the round hole shown by the seven prisms! You have to hurry Hisui! Before they all wake up!”

Only now did Hisui see that the black shadow emerged from the bones, and now two had joined them. Now a bird, he dodged the shadows faster and faster. He had to escape from them!

"Of course, they just lay in front of me back then!" echoed in his head as he dodged the shadow claws and teeth.

  "I don't know why he helped me... Maybe because he saw in me the same ambitions as in himself. This hunger, for more..."
