Serenity, however, grew to be a very mature, caring and wise child. She befriended a dragon by the name of Mysteri. Mysteri allowed Serenity to learn the knowledge of the dragons and helped train her. She could tell that Serenity was going to become a very special, wonderful adult because she was already such a wonderful, kind child. Serenity was not a weak child, but she did not use her strength to bully other children. She was very kind, but that did not mean that she would do everything someone asked her. She had a powerful will and a strong sense ofjustice. Mysteri told Serenity after her second year of training, that when the time came, Serenity had to find a half-orc by the name of Jaica. "She is the key to the freedom of these lands. She is the key to peace and serenity." "Why can't I go now? I'm ready. We can stop all this suffering now" said Serenity. Mysteri shook her head. "My dear, you're still too young. There is much for you to learn. You will know when your time has come to find her."
Four years later, after a day of training with Mysteri, she was given a golden locket from her parents on her 12th birthday with a grass bracelet. The bracelet said "Always Remember Serenity". Her mother smiled at her and said "You've grown up to be a wonderful young lady. We love you so much." Her father picked her up and gave her a bear hug. He said "My dear daughter, please always remember to find serenity in your life, no matter how dark the hour. That is our dearest wish for you, my love." Serenity smiled and said "Of course I will. Always I will remember." The following day, a half-orc named Kryton who was a general for Rikorf's army, came to the village and declared "Your time has come to an end. The king wished for the dragon's secrets, but the dragons refuse. You all will now pay the price." Kryton and his men started thrashing the village and destroying everything, and everyone, in their path. Serenity saw her parents murdered before her eyes. Kryton smirked at Serenity, who, despite witnessing her parent's death, did not show fear. She was in emotional pain, yes that is true, but she was not afraid. She only had anger from the injustice of destroying the innocent village. Kryton lifted his sword, about to swing it to kill Serenity, when all of a sudden something grabbed Serenity by her shirt and she was suddenly flying in the air. Kryton screamed in fury at the loss of his prey.
