      Part Five


  ''Whoa, back up. You mean to tell us we're in your legends?''
  ''Yes Jessie. 'The Saurian Legends of Cryol', a wise Stenonychosaurus
who was rumored to be able to predict the future. Up until now, the
legends were considered myths.''
  ''How do you know it's us?''
  ''Quite simple, Jonny. Cryol foretold them to be human teenagers,
looking much like the Samurai decendants at the time. When Cryol
spoke of this, Saurian royalty went out to tell the Samurai of what
he had said. The Samurai accepted, and we have been allies to this
day. l am friends with the Samurai. Thier names are Kitfox, who resembles
you, Jessie, and Direwolf, who is much like you, Jonny (With one exeption,
of course). But you will need a place to stay for the night. Come, l will
take
you to my palace.''
  ''Your palace?''
  ''Yes, Jonny. l am the Saurian king''
  ''What? Why didn't you tell us earlier?!''
  ''l hate being treated like royalty, Jonny. The pampering and serving
drives me mad.
l like to get things for myself, not having them handed to me on a silver
platter. My 
servants treat me like they would anyone else. l do not sit at the head of
the table,
l hardly ever give commands, and if l wasn't bound by law to live in the
palace, l 
would live anywhere else but the palace.''
  ''One question.''
  ''Yes, Jessie?''
  ''Who's Elana?''
  lsthlli growled ''Elana is the Pterosaurian Clan queen. A large and
powerful 
Quetzalcoatlus*,she is very ruthless and selfish. Now come. On my back,
both of you. we will fly to the palace. With Elana's men everywhere, it
will
be too dangerous to walk.''
  Jonny climbed on Istilli's back, heped Jessie up behind him, and grabbed
Istilli's shoulders.
  lsthilli spread his wings,and started off at a trot. He went from trot to
gallop,
to run, to an all-out sprint. He spread his wings and leaped off the
ground, pounding
the air furiously. Jessie shut her eyes.
  In seconds, they had cleared the treetops, and lsthilli still rose
higher, until they 
had risen above the low-hanging clouds. The sun had long gone down, and the
moon
and millions of stars were out.
  ''Hey, Jess! Great view up here! Check it out!''
  ''l will, when we're back on the ground.''
  As if taking Jessie's cue, lsthilli dove into the clouds at an angle so
steep, even
Jonny cloed his eyes and tightened his grip on lsthilli's shoulders.
  When he opened them again, what he saw took his breath away.
