She looked out the window . A much larger, darker dragon flew around there. She was shocked briefly when he peeked into the window with one eye. Erin looked a bit confused and surprised at the same time. Here, right under their noses, and out there in the snowy night, there was evidence that dragons did indeed exist. "Oh. Of course ... Excuse me. Didn't mean angry ..." she said a little meekly and adjusted her glasses. "Not bad. Lyrix is ​​my name. Nice to meet you. I'm here because I need you for a job." replied the dragon. "A task?" Erin asked Lyrix, a little uncertain. "Yes. The messenger should be brought to the dragon queen. She asks. You should do that." Erin looked puzzled, thought she was dreaming. "Ah yes ..." she just replied. "Well ... follow me." said Lyrix, jumping on the window ledge and pointing one claw out into the wide, dark and cold night. "Now? I should venture out at this time? What for? Oh ... and be a little quieter. Otherwise my big brother Jake will hear you ..." Lyrix glanced briefly out of the window and gave the bigger dragon a sign so that this one flew away, then replied: He can't hear me."But, then I would have to get out of the house and ..." Erin began, but Lyrix only briefly shook her scaly head and hopped on her shoulder. “It can be easier.” Everything turned for a moment and a moment later she was standing in a beautiful white robe in the middle of the snow. "What ... am I wearing there? That's pretty revealing ..." Lyrix on her shoulder just said. “Looks good on you.” Erin looked around. They were in the place where the big rock was. As a child, she often went down here on the sledge. She wallowed briefly in her memories. This place always seemed to her like a kind of gate, always attracted her magically. "How did we get from my room here so quickly? And what ... is this dress made of ..." Erin Lyrix asked. "Hmm, by magic. And your clothes are made of the finest dragon scales fibers. You're wearing something very special. A gift from the dragon queen." Erin was impressed. "So dragon scales ..." she breathed, stunned. Lyrix jumped off her shoulder and went to the rock. He pressed a few certain small stones on this and immediately an entrance opened from which the light literally poured out. Erin was spellbound by the sight. So this rock was really a kind of portal. A strange screeching sounded suddenly and she was surrounded by eerie, demon-like beings. Her skin was pitch black and surrounded by some sort of glowing red stripes and marks. The grimaces looked grim and strange. Blood-red claws on each hand emphasize their appearance. Erin panicked, didn't know where. Shortly decided she grabbed a thick long branch that lay in the snow near her and swung it like a kind of sword to drive away the creatures and to keep them at a distance. Lyrix came over and chased the enemies away with a scorching flame straight out of his throat. "Run into the light! Come on!" he called to Erin in flight. She understood immediately, threw the branch aside and sprinted through the light gate.

Everything lit up for a moment, then she stood in the middle of an empty, black landscape full of billowing dark fog. She coughed and rubbed her eyes. Was it sulfur or something even more toxic? Erin walked slowly, all of which made her uncomfortable. Did Lyrix really want her to end up here? Or did someone make sure to get her here? Could the messenger the dragon spoke of actually be here? She doubted it. "It was definitely not planned that way ..." she thought to herself and held her hand over her mouth to be on the safe side so as not to inhale the black gas. A few moments later she registered with horror that she was surrounded again by half a dozen of these dark beings with the menacing appearances. Her perception was immensely disturbed here. Her eyes were sometimes blurred and her glasses fogged up terribly often.How should she defend herself against this overwhelming power? Erin was defenseless against the creatures. The whole thing looked like some kind of ambush. She looked for a way out, but there was none. Suddenly a young man appeared in front of her and drove away the attackers with trailing balls of light that he sent out. Then he turned to her. Immediately Erin noticed his silvery white gray hair and the strange color of his eyes. "Thank you ... you saved me. Without you I would have been lost." she thanked the man a little breathlessly. "No cause. Hm ... you shouldn't stay here. It's too dangerous." She looked at the man briefly, then asked: "Um, I'm looking for a messenger. A dragon named Lyrix had communicated this to me. But Lyrix is not here ... could you please help me find him? "The man nodded. "Naturally." he just said. Without further ado, he took her on his back and walked forward. "Thanks ... I'm a little exhausted. Who are you?"

"A messenger."

Could this be the person Lyrix was speaking of? Then this thing would have taken care of itself unconsciously. "How old are you?" the messenger asked over her shoulder. "Me? I'm 18. And you?" he thought for a moment, then he replied: "Several thousand years. If you mastered enough magic you could live that old." Erin looked incredulous. "So could I be with you forever?" this time Erin left out the "you". "HM Yes." the messenger only answered.

He opened a small gate of glaring light and stepped through with Erin. A moment later they were standing on a plateau overgrown with lush green grass and surrounded by forests. A little further from them, but directly ahead, there was a beautiful castle that appeared to be made of blue crystal and stone and was held together by threads of light. The messenger dropped Erin. She recognized Lyrix right next to her and was glad to see him again. "Hmm, that was quick. Well done!" the little dragon praised her and made himself comfortable on her shoulder. "Is that the messenger I should be looking for?" Erin asked incredulously. Lyrix just nodded in satisfaction. "There were probably a few problems. You came out of the wrong place." Now the messenger spoke up: "Yes, and I had to save her. Dark beings were trying to kill her. Good thing I was around. "Erin shook her head briefly in disbelief and then smiled. "Hmm, then I did my job quite unconsciously. And that's the castle of this dragon queen, isn't it?" The messenger nodded. "The queen would like to speak to me? Well, let's get on our way ..." Erin looked briefly at the messenger. When she touched his shoulder earlier, thousands of images flashed through her head, each one showing him. "Could that ... be his memories?" she thought. "Come on now." she urged Lyrix. Erin just nodded and went to the castle of the dragon queen together with the messenger.The magnificent entrance was guarded by two elegant dragons and was lined with thousands of crystals. They all shone in different colors and thus formed a true work of art. The hall behind it was completely bathed in light. When Erin, Lyrix and the messenger arrived at the throne of the dragon queen, she was already waiting for them. Erin was amazed to see that the dragon queen did not have the form of such a being in the least. She had the appearance of a beautiful elf with flowing black hair, sky blue eyes and dressed in a robe that resembled the Erins. She greeted the messenger warmly and smiled at him. All bowed briefly to her. To do this, Lyrix left Erin's place on her shoulder. Then she strode around dignified and said: "I am pleased to see you here Aurora. Please linger a little in my inviting castle. You can feel safe here." "So Aurora is your name? That sounds beautiful. Your eyes also remind me a lot ... oh sorry ... I meant your eyes, sir." Most just call me the messenger. You can call me Aurora if you like ... "Erin nodded happily and gave him a smile. "Good, Aurora. Oh, I completely forgot to say my name. Even with you Lyrix. Sorry ... I'm Erin. Pleasant." Aurora nodded briefly, then turned back to the dragon queen. Erin noticed the crystals behind the throne. They half protruded from the ceiling of the hall. She examined the structure more closely. Slowly she reached out and touched a crystal that pulsed like a heartbeat and started to glow. Erin looked down at herself. "The mark on my stomach ... it ... lights up." she said breathlessly. Aurora stepped over to her and took a closer look. "Hm, yes. You are right ..." he laid one of his hands on the crystal standing next to it, which also began to shine on it, but more gently than with Erin. Signs and symbols were clearly visible on Aurora's chest and arms. He looked at them with interest. "The crystals have revealed it. You are the two legendary messengers. Your fate is linked from now on," explained the Queen in a soft voice. Erin looked at Aurora in disbelief. "We ... we are the two legendary messengers? What does that mean for us? What happens now?" she looked a little worried. Just now it had turned out that she is not just a simple person that she may have to follow a fate. She has to pursue a duty that could possibly endanger her.

Suddenly a young woman with black hair ran into the room that Aurora had already met earlier. She drew her blade and shouted: "So you are the legendary messengers! A low person is supposed to be up to this high task?I do not believe that! I will test it and it will fail! She has no business here! "Erin's features hardened. Aurora stormed out to the woman and replied:" Fine, but then you have to measure yourself against me first! "The woman screamed:" Mythenhieb! "And her weapon seemed to charge itself with the surrounding light to enable a stronger blow. Aurora built a kind of barrier and was able to fend off the powerful blow of the blade. Then he countered with a rush Some of them the woman was able to avoid and parry, but the last two hit her hard so that she went to the ground for a moment and had to lean on her blade to get back on her feet, apparently she had not exhausted
