"Rooar!"
Rafa had been sleeping soundly in the Dragonpit at Goldmine City when she suddenly felt a deeply strange energy flow into her body. It forced its way straight into her amethyst heart.
The endless flow of energy from the world around her, which had forced Rafa into slumber, was suddenly cut off. The energy rapidly gathered in her abdomen instead, and before long, five masses of energy had taken shape.

Antheros, stationed at Highgarden; Ophiral and Digral at Casterly Rock; Phoenix, Valhalla, Himolos, and Aposos at the Orange Plains.
Little Balerion, Vhagar, and Grey Ghost, stationed at Lonely Mountain; Aurelion's Sunfyre and Regosern; Ishys's Iceflame and Terragna; Otheryon's Termit and Nefemoon; Isilia's Drogosarn, Tyrarion, and Caraxesos.

"Mother, Ilyas and Selyas flew away."
Ishina had been awakened in the middle of the night by Meleys's roar. When she went outside, she discovered that her other two great dragons were flying southeast without so much as looking back. No matter how she called to them,
