asked for any news from the assembled group, and invited any dragon to fly down and give the information. As he spoke, the dark clouds flowed over the bowl and began to churn. They started to circle around and powerful rumbles shook the ground.
    “Fienna, take our daughter into the cave,” Terra ordered as he spread his wings and took off.
    She backed into the small cave and watched as a great bolt of lightning exploded from the clouds, striking the old dragon at the center of the bowl. The lightning then focused on Terra, and as the bolts struck his crystalline back ridge, the spikes down the length of his body glowed. Several of the dragons flew to help the old one and many others took off in a panic, only to be buffeted by the building winds. Terra's powerful voice cut through the noise of the dragons and the winds, saying, “stay down.”
    Terra began to fly around the bowl’s edge at an ever-increasing speed. Great bolts of lightning struck him on his back ridge over and over. He faltered for a moment while his ridge lit up like an exploding star. The strike seemed to have little effect on him. As his speed increased, more bolts struck him, only to be absorbed and then reflected back as blinding bursts of light. As a vortex built from his flight, the clouds began to be pulled into its center. Terra let loose a huge blast of orange fire. The fire burst out into the center of the forming vortex, burning away the clouds. As he reached his greatest speed, the vortex seemed to pull the entire sky into its center and turn as black as the deepest cave. Terra pulled up and faced the twisting mass. He inhaled a massive lungful of air and let out a flame of pure orange heat. The whole world seemed to be bathed in the power of the light as it flooded into the vortex. Streaks of the flame were at first swallowed by the blackness, but then the twisting cone set on fire from within. Suddenly, the entire tornado of fire burst upward into the high winds, disappearing from the bowl. Terra settled down to the ground and folded back into his naked human form, collapsing to his knees as the transformation completed.
    “ Terra !” Fienna’s mind screamed out.
    “ I am fine, my love, just tired,” he thought back to her .
    A protective phalanx of dragons flew to surround Terra, while several dragons flew to the cave to protect Fienna and their daughter. The sky was once again as clear as if nothing had happened. Terra slowly regained his strength and rose to his feet. He walked to the old dragon, but he had been killed instantly. He looked about the bowl. Some dragons had landed, while others were flying around in complete confusion.
    “Settle!” Terra said in a voice that penetrated the entire bowl.
    “This was not a storm, but an attack. The force that drove the humans to this coast many seasons ago was now trying to destroy them, as well as you. We must be prepared to deal with those beyond the mountain, for they will attack again. This world is dying and it will take the combined efforts of the dragons and all others who live upon her, to save us all. I know some of what happened during the time of the Great Fight that drove the humans to the coastal lands, but I will find out more. I will soon call upon all of you to help me save our world. Each of you must decide if you will help.”
    As he finished his words, he knew he had committed to fighting whatever was attacking him and this world. He concentrated and began to change back into his dragon form. He rose from the bowl and collected his family, flying into the high winds.

    Terra stood looking over the crevice and wished he and Fienna could simply stay here and live their lives in peace. He now knew that was not meant to be. After the attack at the dragon gather, he understood no other creature on this world would be safe until he had dealt
