The fourth brother never returned, for Tien-Hou had been awakened before she could save him.

Tien-Hou was still young when she died, and she became Princess of Supernatural Favor. Tianhou Shengmu (Heavenly Holy Mother), Tian Fei (Heavenly Princess Consort) Huguo Mingzhu Tianfei (Protector of the Empire and the Brilliantly Outstanding Heavenly Princess)

Tien Hou had a vision---

Dragons had gathered by the sea to fly and to answer instinct's call. One by one, they would step forth and sing their own heartsong

A dragon stood, waiting tense as a coiled spring.

He stepped forth into the ring and then began to sing...

'Calling, calling, hear my cryO love, I'm searching through the sky

I cannot bear anymore my longing and pain, O! my love for you shall always remain!

The dragon stopped, his song now done, silence pressed in all around In the magical night, then from the crowd a female dragon stepped out and met him in the ring She opened her mouth and began to sing..."I hear thy call, though thou art far I wish upon a shooting star To come to thee and give my heart So I'd be with thou, wherever we are. The female's voice was like a harp her eyes were ocean-blue, her scales were the shade of an autumn sky, the female dragon was a dream come true. Their voices rose together in song--A perfect harmony

Still singing like angels, both dragons rose And began to dance in the sky, coming closer, ever closer, with every moment passing by. The dragon's song had found the one to whom he gave his all

Twining and singing over the sea on that night the dragon lovers heeded instinct's call.

Tein Hou told The Jade emperor about her vision.

He nodded wisely and said, ‘The time for Jian Ho giveup the dragon skin and to become a Man'
