There weren't always dragons in the Valley. The mistic valley of blue water began to be inhabited by people who escaped World War three. It is in the mountainous range of the alps in Switzerland where only the strong and able could get to after hiking for three-weeks and only by chance did they find the rest of the people who made the trip. not much more than a small compound when it first began, now has turned into a very reclusive hidden city from the rest of the world, as everyone grows and hunts for their food, The total population of blue water now sits at 5,501 souls that survived through the war and outfall of radiation from missiles. When the population began growing the people elected leaders who would govern the clans. The war began in the year 2022 when the Gods of old appeared. They struck down every nation's leader. killing them and a host of others who worked in the nations and capitals. Leaving nothing but ruble behind. Consumed with hate and anger they destroyed and wiped out most of humankind before departing the planet, only a few clans survived. now a Millenium later the year is 3022, and we meet Kara. [ who is 42 with short sassy brown hair and hazel green eyes] she is the only woman who works as a special investigator and warrior for the mistic valley of blue water.

Sunday, June 9th 2:45pm 3022

Another report was given to Kara, by Bill the investigator who took the call, he was telling Joe another co-worker about the call, they both agreed it was getting a bit strange, all these statues getting replaced, and Kara could hear them talking as they came down the hall. they were talking about how frantic the caller sounded over the information they reported.

Kara was sitting at her desk near the window, when Bill and joe walked into her office, as Bill handed the case file to her, here you go another strange statue case to investigate, Joe said, this time the strange replacement of a well-known Statue, its closer to home. Then they left the room. Kara opens the case file; it is the statue Gods Messenger the Warrior in Darkness, created by the founder of Blue Water 1000 years ago. This Warrior Statue stands in Saint Waswicks cathedral courtyard and is the first statue that marked the blue water area as a new settlement. And is also the area known to kara as a spiritual place she has visited most of her life. The Warrior Statue stands 7 feet tall and weighs 1200 pounds. The caller reports it has been missing for 24 hours.

This is not the first one reported as missing, all-around blue water, reports of statues gone missing were pouring into the warriors' headquarters. What is just as strange as them being taken are what's Left behind.

At each site replacing the statues taken are large black winged statue creatures, half human half dragon, its feet are talons, and horns for ears. It has large wings that are on its upper back, they are opened as it sits perched. These black winged statue creatures are 9 to 10 feet tall and looks to weigh 3 thousand pounds (about half the weight of an elephant) each. Inscribed on each Pedestal in which they are perched, are words in Latin that read.

Heed these words with cation and fear, for the time is near, the time is near. We have arrived, for the last of humanity, make no mistakes, as you choose your fates, out of dust we have begun, created by the evil one, the head of the dark fire. We sit and watch until the night the head comes and awakens our immortal forms again. The end of humanity the end of time, this world will disappear. The time draws near, the time draws near.

As Kara was pouring over reported details on these statue creatures, her fellow co-worker and warrior Sam slayer approaches her, saying, Kara we have a 'huge problem" [Sam slayer who is 45 with wavy dark hair and blue eyes, has a body of steal] he hired Kara right out of collage 20 years ago. Sam is the lead investigator for blue water, and the best warrior out of 200.

[ Kara has been in love with Sam from the start, but she has never told him. once she was about to while they shared a warm fire together. when out of the darkness a wild cat roared and attacked a local night walker, then the alarm rang out! calling for the warriors to trap and kill this intruder. So, she was not able to tell him then, and never has found the right moment yet].

Kara says, what is our big problem, Sam? are the creature statues attacking people? ha-ha ''{as she chuckles}" he replies, um not exactly, but the newest report says there are dragons flying in the eastern valley skies, she looked at him with a sideways glance and said, no really what is the big problem, Sam? He does not respond, he just kept looking at her. Well? are you going to tell me? {she said with a sharp tone} Still he did not reply. Now Sam! [almost yelling at him] stop playing and tell me the problem? He just looked at her with a dead stare. That is when she knew he was not joking around. Dragons? really Dragons are flying around in our skies in the year 3022? dragons are not real! unless by some magical unseen force these statues have come life from rocks and mortar, or just maybe someone is playing a big joke on the whole valley.

Okay, let us go, call the other warriors to join us! just in case we need back up. {As she walks out laughing}

Kara and Sam head for the eastern valley, while driving there kara recalled the Latin writing on the statues. she was thinking, who could be behind these odd events? She could not think of one person in this valley who would have a reason. or one person with the abilities to create such a large hoax. Or even have gathered enough people who would keep quiet to move those three-thousand-pound statues.

Could the old stories of a hidden vail be true? Where there are the unseen creatures that live and dwell among their own kind! and if they are true has the vail ripped? and the mythical creatures, we thought were just tails be real? and have they crossed over through the vail to the valley of blue water.?

Sam had called the other warriors, telling them to meet at the big rock valley inn, east of blue water off pathway 44. The news travelers who relayed the news from villa to villa and told of these dragons where also asked to join the group to lead the way to where these dragons had first been spotted.

Kara was in deep thought when Sam startled her back to the present moment.

Sam, what do you think is really going on? could there really be dragons in the blue water valley? and why did these things appear after the statues of warrior's were replaced, with the half human half dragon statues? I am a strong-minded person, but this is starting to get freaky scary! if those creatures do come alive, is this really going to be the end for everyone in this valley? how do we fight what we do not see? I have always believed in a higher power that governed the earths movements, and I remember the stories my grandparents and my great grandparents told me growing up. they were about an unseen vail that holds the evil at bay, that protects us from the Darkness that lurks beyond the light of this world. If these dragon creators are real, and we all are going to a die because of a deception from the beginning of creation, that I had nothing to do with, then what has been the point of this life in the first place?

I am willing to fight to protect my fellow brothers and sisters, till the end. yet still what has been the point to give me life then allow a fallen dark creature to deceive and take my life away? I would have rather had a choice Wouldn't you?

Kara, Kara, Kara, calm down, we have no proof of anything yet! other than hoax or something, so do not go claiming the end of the world quite yet. Just breath and relax okay, and keep your eyes and ears peeled, okay? kara said OK, I will, but if the vail of the unseen world has ripped and broken through to this world allowing the evil to creep into blue water, we better hurry up and figure out how we can fight these things or die trying.

Kara was frightened for the first time in her life. what was to come would shake her very foundation of life and belief in everything she thought, would she overcome the powers of the mind-blowing events or would she fall to the deceptions in front of her. only time will tell the outcome for Kara and the mistic valley of blue water.
