A/N- THIS TOOK SO DANG LONG! Oh well, it was worth it!

Eevee's POV(Note: she's six)

I sat on the pavement the brisk wind making my hair flow. It was a peaceful morning, the sun had just escaped the darkness of the night and rose above the horizon. It was a crispy day in late autumn that would soon fade into the beautiful, yet harsh winter in the next passing day. I yawned slightly, the pavement may not have been a good bed but, it was better than nothing.

Some crazy old dude with a long beard and a whacking stick approached me.

"Child, are you alright?" He asked. "U-uhh i-i umm... I-i u-uhh I" I couldn't properly form a sentence being the shy kid I was.

"Do you have a home?" The crazy old dude asked. I shook my head no. "M-my n-name is E-eevee" I said shyly. A lavender flower that was in my hair fell on and onto the ground. A small vine grew out of the ground and placed it back in my hair.

The crazy old dude stroked his beard. "So your the soon to be elemental master I sensed here..." The crazy old dude said.

"E-elemental m-master?" I asked confused. "Yes, child, you have the powers of nature and it's clear that their already strong, you just need to learn how to control it..." The crazy old guy said. "P-powers? Me? B-but I'm only a wittle g-girl! H-how can I have p-powers?" I said, my tiny five year old brain, not understanding.

"One of your parents had the element of nature, they passed it onto you" the crazy old guy said. "P-parents? You m-mean like a m-momma and p-papa? I d-don't have p-parents..." I said, gazing up at the crazy old man.

He stoked his beard again before looking at me.

I looked up at him, moving the hair that the cold guise had blown into my petite face. I could tell there was something on his mind I didn't know what though.

He softly gazed back at me with a kind expression. "How long have you lived here?" He asked. "I-i don't k-know.... I d-don't r-remember a time in my l-life I didn't l-live h-here..." I answered shakily partially because of the cold and crisp wind and partially because I was extremely shy.

He looked at me with a tint of sadness on his kind looking face. "Child, how would you like to stay with me? With winter approaching I do not think it would be wise for you to be alone." The crazy old dude said. My face instantly brighten up, tears brimming in my eyes, sticking to my eyelashes. "R-really?" I said with a small amount of happiness clear in my voice.

He nodded. "Yes, really. Oh and my name is sensei, Sensei Wu" The old crazy dude said. I smiled even more, hugging him. I finally had a home. I suddenly remember about my baby dragon friend, Thorn.

I whistled and a small little light green dragon with itty-bitty vines on it's scales which those vines had small lavender flower buds on them. The little dragon had vibrant green eyes that sparkled in the morning light, it came flying towards us, a dew drop fell from a leaf onto it's head.

It shook it's head and flew over to me. "Thorn!" I said happily gently hugging the small dragon. Sensei Wu looked at me. "Is this your dragon?" He asked. I nodded. "Thorn is my best friend! She's a baby dragon" I said less shy.

Thorn let out the tiniest and most squeaky little roar ever, which I found adorable. "She's a very special dragon. She's what is called a elemental dragon. She's the nature elemental dragon, which is partially why she's so close to you" Sensei Wu explained. I looked at thorn closely "Elemental Dragon?" I said still confused.

"She's the protector of the nature crystal. That the oddly shaped gem on that fully bloomed flower" Sensei explained. I took another long look at thorn and my goodness! On the singular fully bloomed flower in her vines there was a light green crystal that had a lavender shine too it.
