>   During the jorney, Jonny and Jessie got to know Yamishuru.
>   "So, Yamishuru?''
>   "Yes, Jonny?"
>   "What exactly made you want to join the Saurians?"
>   "Me, actually."
>   "How?''
>   ''Well, many years ago, l was a Pterosaurian. l was a very important
> officer for Elana as her Chief of Army. l was always a pteranodon of good
> heart, and Elana knew that. She told me what l was doing was for good,
and
> l foolishly belived her."
>   "Why did you leave?"
>   "l finally realized what l was doing, and told Elana to get a new Chief
> of Army. But she was unwilling to give me up, so she confined me to my
> living quarters. l decided l had to escape."
>   "But you have the symbol of the Saurian. And you said everyone is born
> with their ancestor's symbol and it's permanent. lf you were a
> Pterosaurian, you must have that symbol."
>   "Yes, it is permanent, but while under house arrest, l used my claws to
> cut the skin behind it, then l cut the bone holding the symbol to my
chest,
> and removed the symbol, rather painfully, l might add, then l broke the
> bars that had been placed on my window, squeezed out of the tiny space,
and
> escaped to lsthilli's palace.
>   "When l had arrived, l was famished, thirsty, and had lost a lot of
blood
> due to the wound from the removal of my symbol.
>   "Healh found me and nursed me back to health, and lsthilli, on my
> request, placed the symbol of the Saurian on my chest to stop the
> bleeding."
>   "How did he get it to stay?"
>   "He melded it to the bone by breathing fire opon it. Later, my wound
had
> healed and l was sworn in to the Saurians and my name was changed to
> Yamishuru. lt has been my name for five years, and l like it much better
> than my real name of 'Bloodtalon.' "
>   "Wow. Rough life."
>   "Yes, l would have to agree."
>   Suddenly, two Pterodactyls swooped down and grabbed Jonny and Jessie.
> They both bore the symbol of the Pterosaurian. They took off, and
lsthilli
> and Yamishuru followed them. The Pterodactyls looked back, and quickly
> changed thier course. They flew towards the forest, but when lsthilli and
> Yamishuru flew towards the forest, they hit an invisible wall and
collapsed
> to the ground.
>   The Pterosaurians looked back "Well, Elana's forcefield must have
worked,
> Wraith."
>   "Yes, Breetho, very effective."
>   Jessie dug her nails into Breetho's talon, and Breetho shreeked and
> dropped her into a pine bush. Jonny grabbed the branch of a gorse bush
and
> shoved it onto Wraith's leg. Wraith shreeked and dropped him into a lake.
>   Jessie climbed out of the bush and dropped to the ground, brushing pine
> needles off of herself.
>   "So, the legends are true. But where is the other?"
>   Jessie stiffened not only at the sound of the voice, but the
familiarity
> of it. 
>   It was her own.
