-I'm so hungry, my beautiful face is going to get ruined!! Jae-ha said and was acting over dramatic.
-We ate my genius cooking just 2 hours ago! Yoon said and seemed angry.
-Yeah, but Zeno ate some of my part of the food! Jae-ha said.
-You make it sound like we have to split our food to make it fair so no one will have to starve more than the other! Yoon said and they were going on each others throats about the food.
-You two should stop fighting, many people are looking, I said and they both realised that and stopped.
-You're right Yona, sorry, Yoon said. Then Yoon looked at Jae-ha.
-I guess I'm sorry too, he said.
-My dear dragon-blood brothers, do you sense it too? Kija suddenly said.
-Sense what? Jae-ha said then he closed his eyes and it looked like he concentrated.
-I sense it too, Shin-ah said.
-What is this you guys are sensing? Hak asked them.
-There is a fifth dragon warrior presence close by, Kija said and he had a really serious expression.
-A fifth dragon warrior presence? But that's impossible, there is only 4 dragon warriors, plus the Crimson dragon, I said.
-Apparently not, Zeno said and he looked really serious too.
-Let's find who has this presence, Kija said and we all nodded in agreement. Me, Yoon and Hak were walking behind Kija, Shin-ah, Jae-ha and Zeno and trusted their senses. We turned in on many different streets and walked by people and actually went over a house to come to the other side quicker, with help from Jae-ha and his jumping strength.
-You okay, Jae-ha? You just jumped up and down from a house many times carrying on someone 6 times, I asked Jae-ha.
-Thank you for your concern Yona, but I'm fine, the heaviest one was definitely the Thunder beast, Jae-ha said.
-Hey! Hak said in anger.
-Ha! You are the heaviest of us all, but I'm surprised that Jae-ha's arms didn't fall of while carrying you, you are much lighter than I thought! Kija teased.
-Shut up, White snake! Hak said. They glared at each other, you could almost see the lightning between their eyes.
-The person is close by, Zeno suddenly said after being quiet a long time.
-Yeah you're right, let's keep going, Jae-ha said and we all started to walk again. After walking for a few minuets we turned around a corner and the four guys suddenly stopped walking, I almost walked into Shin-ah's back.
-The presence is coming from them, Zeno said and pointed at a person with a light yellow cloak on with the hood over their head. The person was walking in the opposite direction that we were, so we started to follow the person. Not after long they started to run, probably because they noticed that we were following them. We started to run too and they started to run faster.
We chased the person from road to road, and after a while they made a left — which wasn't such a good choice, because it turned out to be a dead end. Everyone slowed down and Kija stepped forward.
-Who are you? Show us your face! Kija said. It sounded like a line taken directly from a detective book. Then the cloaked person turned around slowly while taking of the hood. We all became surprised when the hood was down completely, and the person was standing looking right at us. It was a girl with shining golden-blonde hair and bright turquoise eyes.
-Why are you guys stalking me? She said. Jae-ha stepped forward, not surprising since girls are his "specialty".
-We are so sorry for our rude behaviour of running after you like that, but we have some questions for you, he said with a little flirt in his voice, of course.
-We are wondering if you are aware of that you are a Dragon warrior, four of us here are the reincarnations of the Dragon warriors and we can sense each other, and the same presence is coming from you. How is it possible with a fifth one?? Kija asked her.
-First of all, I'm no Dragon warrior. You heard yourself, the four of you are the four Dragon warrior's reincarnations. I have no idea about this fifth one. Are you really that sure that your senses aren't wrong? She said. She was very confident that she wasn't the presence Kija and the other guys claimed her to be.
-Then.. What happens if you look at this girl right here! Jae-ha said and pushed her over in front of me. She looked at me for a few seconds.
-You have unusually crimson hair, it's really pretty, she said to me. I became happy because of her compliment, I've myself not really liked my hair.
-Thank you!, I said with a smile.
-Didn't you feel anything now when you looked at her? Like, a part of your body hurts, then you hear ancient voices?Jae-ha asked, and was still holding the girl's shoulders.
-Why would I feel that from looking at this girl? She said and we all became a little surprised. If she isn't a dragon warrior, then why does she have a presence of one?
-It must've been your blood that was wrong then, she then said and shook off Jae-ha's hands off of her shoulders.
-I guess so, Zeno said while leaning against the wall. I've noticed that Zeno has been really quiet today, especially after they'd detected the fifth's presence.
-I'll be going then, she said and walked past us and out of the dead end. I noticed that Hak looked at something on her when she walked passed him for just a second. I watched her walk out of the alley way while pulling up her hood again, and disappeared around the corner.
-Everyone, that girl had a symbol on her right hand, Hak said when she was out of sight, and everyone gave their attention to him.
-Symbol? Yoon asked.
-Yes, I only saw it for a second or two but it was a big circular symbol with four smaller symbols around it.. He said.
-Was there a small symbol inside of the big one too? Shin-ah said.
-Yes, how did you know? Hak said with a surprised expression.
-I know that symbol, Shin-ah said.
-It was also in yellow. What symbol is that? Hak said.
-The big circular symbol represents the Crimson dragon, and the four smaller symbols around it represent the four dragon warriors. The symbol inside of the Crimson dragon's symbol represents a fifth dragon warrior, the Golden dragon warrior. The Gold dragon was the Crimson dragon's older brother and he helped the Crimson dragon through tough times and gave courage to him, he was also an amazing fighter and his power was in his ears, so all of the Golden dragon's reincarnations have a really good hearing ability. One day the golden dragon got a symbol marked on the back of his right hand, because of unknown reasons, and the symbol is called The Gold Mark. Only the Golden dragon warriors have that mark on their back of their right hand, and for some reason when the original gold dragon died, the next reincarnation had it and it continued that way, Shin-ha explained.
-It's rare to see you talk this much, Hak mumbled.
-But where did you learn this? Yoon asked Shin-ah.
-I was lonely, so I read books. I found an ancient library one time and read all the books there, Shin-ah said.
-So that girl actually is the fifth dragon warrior, but she hid it? Jae-ha said.
-But the reason she didn't react when she saw Yona must've been because she isn't the "same type" of dragon warrior as us four, we're servants of the Crimson dragon but she's the Crimson dragon's sibling, Kija said.
-But if the Golden dragon was the Crimson dragon's older brother.. Doesn't that technically make that girl Yona's older sister? Not related by family, but by dragon blood? Yoon said. I hadn't even thought of that, I have an older sister... She may not be a biological family member, but she's technically the only family I have left besides Su-won...
-But what's up with you today, Zeno?? I asked Zeno, because he wasn't his energetic and cheerful self today.
-It's just, her eyes, her hair, they seemed so familiar, no wonder she was the Golden dragon warrior, Zeno said with a slight smile.
-What do you mean by familiar? I asked him
-You know that my power is that I can't get injured or sick, so I've been around ever since the first Crimson dragon was alive. I've met the first Gold dragon, he also had this unusual shade of golden-blonde hair and turquoise eyes. He was very kind and always supported the Crimson dragon, he even taught the Crimson dragon how to perfect his fighting skills, and she had the same aura around her and the same hair and eye colour, so it just felt so familiar, Zeno said.
-I see.. I said and looked down. I know it must've been really hard for Zeno, being around this long, see people get injured while he couldn't, so everyone tries to not talk about it. After that we all went to an inn we were going to stay at for the night, since Risa doesn't have a lot of activity with Hiryuu palace it's safe to stay there.

The next day Zeno was his normal self, and I'm happy he is. We all had agreed to try to find this girl again, and we searched all over the village. We had also split up; Hak, Jae-ha, and I, Yoon and Shin-ah, and Kija and Zeno. We decided that if one of our groups found her we would try to catch her and take her up on a hill on the outskirts of the village. It sounds wrong to "catch" her, but it's the only way. Since there is a dragon warrior in every group, the groups that haven't found her will sense if one of the groups move to the outskirts of the village, and that's the signal that someone found her. Well, Shin-ah could just use his eyes but still.
-What will we say if we find her? Hak said.
-I don't know, we will think of something when the time comes, I answered him.
-Kija and Zeno's presence is moving towards the hill, Jae-ha suddenly said.
-Well that was quick, Hak said and we all walked towards the outskirts of the village. When we came there we saw the girl being carried by Kija's dragon arm, it looked a little funny because Kija was carrying her like a sack of potatoes over his shoulder while she was punching him on his back, trying to get free, but Kija and Zeno just stood there casually like nothing special was happening.
-Let me go! What do you guys want me to do now?! She yelled while punching Kija's back. Then Yoon and Shin-ah came walking up from the other side of the hill.
-Looks like everyone is here, Yoon said and Kija walked over to a tree and put her down against it. We all stood around her, mostly because we didn't want her to run.
-Haven't I already told you?? I'm not this made-up dragon warrior you guys claim me to be! She said.
-You don't have to lie, we know that you are the Golden dragon and you know it too, we saw the symbol on your hand, Kija said. After he said that it looked like she didn't know what to say.
-Fine! You guys win! I am the golden dragon! She said and seemed irritated.

I just want to say that I found the anime Akatsuki no yona about a week ago and I've watched all 25 episodes dubbed and I'm watching the subbed right now, so maybe there isn't some piece of information somewhere because some parts of the episodes were cut out in the dubbed version ^^

EDIT: I finished the anime in Japanese quite a while ago, and I'm editing chapters a little now and then so there shouldn't be any missing pieces of the story.
