00:00:25
Speaker 1: preview of this very special episode. Do you remember our
00:00:36
Speaker 1: little scaly friend Emerald. Emerald is a young Earth dragon
00:00:41
Speaker 1: with radiant green skin and one of the kindest hearts
00:00:46
Speaker 1: you could find. She lives in Sleepy Forest with all
00:00:50
Speaker 1: the other Earth dragons and can often be found either
00:00:54
Speaker 1: at dragon School learning and playing with her young dragon
00:00:57
Speaker 1: friends like Enon, or stump around Sleepy Forest, tending to
00:01:02
Speaker 1: the plants and flowers, ensuring that the forest is as
00:01:06
Speaker 1: beautiful as ever. Earth dragons have a magical way with
00:01:12
Speaker 1: the living things that grow from the ground, and they
00:01:15
Speaker 1: nurture and protect them through all the seasons of the year.
00:01:20
Speaker 1: Emeralds still had a lot to learn, but she was
00:01:23
Speaker 1: a natural, and her speciality was looking after the flowers
00:01:28
Speaker 1: of the forest. She could name every species of flower
00:01:33
Speaker 1: and instinctively knew just what to do to help them
00:01:37
Speaker 1: grow and bloom as marvelously as possible. Emerald loved her
00:01:44
Speaker 1: earth dragon destiny, but there was one other destiny that
00:01:49
Speaker 1: was never too far from her mind. On Emerald's very
00:01:54
Speaker 1: first day of dragon school, her teacher, missed Blossom, had
00:01:58
Speaker 1: informed the class that every dragon has a special human
00:02:01
Speaker 1: out there somewhere in the world. It is a dragon's
00:02:05
Speaker 1: destiny to find their special human and look out for them.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: Not every human receives their own designated dragon. In fact,
00:02:16
Speaker 1: dragons are so rare that it is very lucky. Indeed,
00:02:19
Speaker 1: if a dragon is a signed to you, the fortunate
00:02:23
Speaker 1: ones who are found by their dragons have a powerful
00:02:28
Speaker 1: mystical being to watch over them always. Emerald had watched
00:02:35
Speaker 1: as one by one her fellow dragon classmates had discovered
00:02:39
Speaker 1: their special humans. Emerald thought about her own every day
00:02:46
Speaker 1: and wished that she could find them with all her might,
00:02:50
Speaker 1: but she hadn't yet felt the mystical call that dragons
00:02:53
Speaker 1: were said to feel when their special human was ready
00:02:56
Speaker 1: for them. Miss Blossom said that in order to find
00:03:00
Speaker 1: their special person, they had to listen to the call
00:03:04
Speaker 1: of their heart, but Emerald hadn't felt a thing. She
00:03:09
Speaker 1: had tried wishing on stars, speaking to fairies, and even
00:03:14
Speaker 1: gone out for walks in the human towns under a
00:03:18
Speaker 1: cover of disguise, hoping that she would sniff out her
00:03:22
Speaker 1: special human somewhere. But nothing had worked. Maybe your special
00:03:29
Speaker 1: human hasn't been born yet, Emerald's best friend, Enan the
00:03:33
Speaker 1: Water Dragon, suggested one day after school, when I found
00:03:38
Speaker 1: my special person, they were only a baby. You're still young, Emerald,
00:03:44
Speaker 1: so maybe you're human doesn't exist yet. Emerald thought it
00:03:50
Speaker 1: was a smart theory, but it didn't make her feel
00:03:54
Speaker 1: much better. She was desperate to find her special human,
00:03:59
Speaker 1: but patience is a virtue, and fortunately Emerald didn't have
00:04:05
Speaker 1: too much longer to wait. One special day, Emerald was
00:04:10
Speaker 1: gardening with her parents in Sleepy Forest. It was the
00:04:14
Speaker 1: start of springtime, and the sleepy flowers needed a little
00:04:17
Speaker 1: help waking up from their winter beds. The Earth Dragons
00:04:22
Speaker 1: had taken it upon themselves to help coax the stubborn
00:04:25
Speaker 1: blooms out of the ground and encouraged them to lift
00:04:29
Speaker 1: their faces to the sun. Listen to the full episode
