Ok so here is the next chapter of the story. I know that everything is not 100% correct in comparison to the book but remember that i have not read the books. I only know what i have read from other fanfictions and what i have searched up to write this story. I liked to write this one but i felt like i didn't do my best at all times. But here it is enjoy.

Dusk and Sunny were trapped in the cage for days. They quickly became good friends. It also helped that they were the same type of hybrid too. Dusk learned a lot about his type of dragon while he and Sunny talked. Sunny talked about the other dragonet's very often too. Dusk learned quickly who each of them was. Clay was the big and kind brother while Glory was the sarcastic one, Tsunami was the bossy one and Starflight was the bookworm. And Sunny was the little sister.

Dusk was thinking a LOT the days he was in the cage with Sunny. He was thinking about his brother and his parents and the few friends he had on Earth. He wanted to go home but at the same time, he didn't. He had already made a good friend in a few days. He felt like he could not leave this world as long as he was friends with this dragonet. He had overheard the guards say that Burn was on her way to the Skywing Kingdom. This made him panic on the inside since that meant that they had to escape in a few days at most. They needed a plan.

Dusk looked around the room he was in. Any potential escape routes? maybe not. he sighed.

That got Sunny's attention. ''Something wrong?'' Asked Sunny.

Dusk shook his head. ''No, i am just trying to find a way to escape.''

Sunny nodded in understanding. ''Found anything?''

Dusk shook his head again. ''No.''

Sunny had a lot on her mind too. 'Wonder if the others are still alive? Oh no Sunny don't think like that! You are always positive. Maybe we never should have escaped from under the mountain. But if we didn't then i would never have met Dusk. How can i keep his secret? I am horrible with secrets.'

Sunny was stressed and she was horrible at hiding it.

Dusk didn't understand what was going on with Sunny. He had a hard time knowing the body language of dragons and his autism didn't really help either. When he thought about it. Did he still have autism since he had a different body now? He didn't hope for it either.

''Sunny is something bothering you?'' Asked Dusk almost as he was uninterested.

''Yes i am so stressed right now. I want out of this cage. I want to fly so that i can relax a bit. I don't even know if the others are still alive.'' Sunny almost shouted the last part.

Dusk let out a Hmm. How could he help? He didn't know how to relax another dragon. Dusk could easily see that it was night or late evening through the windows that were in the throne room. maybe they should just go to sleep. He let out a yawn. He was tired. He just lay down and tried to sleep. He quickly noticed that Sunny just sat there trying to look through the windows, at the stars.

''Aren't you going to sleep Sunny?'' asked Dusk.

She just continued to watch through the windows. The cage was hanging in the middle of the room so it wasn't easy to look out through the windows. But it was possible to get glints of the majestic kingdom.

'It must be hard to grow up in a matter of a few days. They have lived under a mountain all their lives. They don't know anything else. They have seen a few dragons too in their lives.' Thought Dusk. He felt anger, sadness and sympathy.

''Sunny please go to sleep. I have tried being up whole nights you won't like it. Just try to stop thinking about everything for a few minutes.'' Said Dusk.

''AND HOW DO YOU SUGGEST I DO THAT DUSK? PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW I CAN STOP THINKING ABOUT MY FRIENDS, OUR DESTINY AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO ESCAPE! PLEASE EXPLAIN!'' She was shouting at him in anger and frustration.

Dusk just looked down not to meet with her furious eyes. He quickly got a wave of regret, sadness and a little feeling of betrayal? He had no idea what he was going to say. ''I-i don't know. I was just trying to help.'' Said Dusk not facing her.

Sunny's anger quickly melted away when she saw how he had reacted. 'Oh no, what have i done. How could i shout at him for something that was not his fault? It's not his fault that i am stressed and scared. I should say sorry to him.'

''Dusk. I should not have brought my anger out on you. I am so sorry.'' Said Sunny regretting her action.

Dusk sighed. ''It's fine. Just go please go to sleep Sunny.''

Sunny just lay down and let herself relax. She fell asleep a few minutes later.


Clay, Starflight and Tsunami were all placed on top of pillars the day arrived. They had been there for two weeks. They all quickly got informed by a skywing by the name Peril that Sunny was held in a cage in the throne room because she was going to be a gift for Burn when she would come. Peril also told them that Glory was being used as a living artwork.

All three had fought in the arena. Clay had fought an icewing by the name Fjord. He almost lost too had it not been for Glory's Magical death spit as they call it. She had secretly helped him out without anyone noticing. Tsunami had fought a mad driven seawing named Gill. She and Starflight also fought scavengers and was later forced to fight each other. They both refused of course. And they had been on the pillars since then.

They had tried to escape but Peril had tricked them and had told Scarlet all about it. Peril had visited them and said sorry. The reason she did it was to keep Clay in the sky kingdom. Peril had said that tomorrow was Scarlet's hatching day and that Burn would arrive too. They would have to escape tomorrow. Peril had said that she would help this time and not betray them. Clay gave her a second chance.

The next day

Sunny woke up when she heard two guards talking.

''Have you heard? Burn is coming today.'' Said the first guard.

''Really? It's Queen Scarlet's hatching day as well.'' Said the second guard

Sunny overheard everything. 'Breakfast time. And Burn is coming today? Oh oh That means we need to escape today. I better wake Dusk up.'

She quickly got up and began waking Dusk up. She had quickly learned that he was a sleeper and the only way to make sure he got up fast was to stomp on his tail or blow fire on his tail. I tiny flame was often enough and she did just that.

''ow ow ow, Sunny! Why do you do this every morning? Aren't you supposed to be nice?'' Asked Dusk.

Sunny just laughed a little almost forgetting that they were in a cage. ''Why Dusk? Can't handle a little heat? You are a Sandwing-Nightwing hybrid.''

Dusk just snorted a little. He was not a morning dragon.

''Hey silence!'' Shouted one of the guards. ''Do you two even want breakfast?''

Dusk and Sunny didn't even make a sound after that.

''Good that you know your place.'' Said the guard smirking.

Dusk just growled.

They got some cow meat each for breakfast. It did not taste well. It tasted like it had been out in the sun for ages. It was old meat. But it was the only food they would get until evening.

Sunny told Dusk everything she had heard the guards say. Dusk said that they should wait a few hours before they should try escaping.

A few hours later

Burn had arrived to the sky kingdom and Scarlet wanted to present her the gifts she had been talking about. They arrived in the throne room.

''As you can see here Burn. Two hybrids for you to torture and have on your wall.'' Said Scarlet to Burn.

Burn smirked.''I accept these gifts Queen Scarlet. I cannot wait to torture them both.''

Scarlet smirked too. ''That would be thrilling to watch. What do you say we go to the arena Burn? I have some special fights arranged.''

Burn gave an evil smile. ''That would be very thrilling.'' Scarlet's favorite word was the only word good enough to describe it.

In the Arena

''Our first fight of the day will be Starflight the Nightwing of destiny against a group of Icewings.'' Announced Vermilion.

The fight was quickly canceled when a group of Nightwings arrived. Starflight recognized one of them. Morrowseer.

''HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT WITH MY FIGHT NIGHTWING?!'' yelled an angry Scarlet.

''We are here to pick up this Nightwing.'' Said Morrowseer.

''NO I WANT TO SEE HIM FIGHT THOSE ICEWINGS THERE. I DEMAND IT, IT'S MY HATCHING DAY!'' Yelled Scarlet.

The Nightwings began to breathe fire at the Icewings killing them all. ''There we took care of your Icewing problem.''

The Nightwings quickly went as they came.

Scarlet announced the next fight herself. ''I want Peril to fight Clay the mudwing.''

The guards got Clay down to the arena and Peril flew down herself. They began to act like they were fighting. But it failed so Peril told Clay to use his poison against Scarlet. Clay was confused since Glory was the one to have that ability. That got Glory's attention, she easily broke free and spat a stream of venom at Burn. Burn used Scarlet as a meat shield. Scarlet was thought to have died from the poison.

''Clay come closer I'll free your wings.'' Said Peril. She freed him so he quickly could fly up and free Tsunami too.

Clay got Tsunami out and flew back to Peril. ''Where is Sunny? And Glory?''

''Right here.'' Said Glory shifting her colors to yellow and purple.

Clay sighed in relief.

''Come i will show you the way to Sunny.'' Said Peril.

They made their way to the throne room where the cage was. Tsunami took care of the guards while Peril went to free Sunny and this other dragon that was in the cage.

Sunny quickly jumped out of the cage for a group hug. ''I have missed you guys.'' She was happy to see most of her friends. But where was Starflight? ''Guys where is Starflight?''

''Morrowseer came with a group of Nightwings and got him out. But he wouldn't bother getting us out.'' Said Tsunami snorting.

''Um sunny who is that?'' Said Glory pointing a claw at Dusk.

''Oh, that is Dusk. He is a hybrid like me. He was traveling at the borders of the Sky Kingdom and got caught.'' Said Sunny. That was the lie she and Dusk had come up with to keep the secret. She didn't like to lie to her friends but she was helping Dusk.

''Um hi, my name is Dusk and i am a Sandwing-Nightwing hybrid.'' Said Dusk trying to greet the others.

''We can get to know each other when we are out of this blasted Kingdom. But for now, let's escape.'' Said Tsunami with her bossy voice.

Dusk nodded in agreement. ''I agree. I am done with cages and skywings.'' Said Dusk.

Clay faced Peril again. ''Thank you for helping us Peril.''

Peril smiled. ''You are welcome. Now follow me so you guys can get out. I will lead you to the river.''

Peril navigeted the group out of the Sky kingdom and to the river.

''There you are out and free.'' Said Peril.

Clay looked sad. ''Aren't you coming with us?''

Peril shook her head. ''I am sorry Clay but i have to get out my mother and i have to go and see if Scarlet is dead.''

Clay nodded in understanding. ''Bye Peril. See you some other time.''

Peril gave a smile before she flew off.

''So can i come with you guys since i have nowhere else to go?'' Asked Dusk.

''Of course you can.'' Said Sunny.

''Sure.'' Said Clay.

Glory and Tsunami just said fine by me. Tsunami was a little supicous and she said she was going to keep an eye on him.

''Maybe we can go to the Mud Kingdom?'' Said Clay.

Dusk and Sunny liked the idea. ''yeah then we can find your parents.'' Said Sunny.

Clay nodded.''I wonder if my parents have missed me?''

Tsunami Smiled. ''I am sure they have.''

''Then it's decided. We are heading to the Mud Kingdom.'' announced Clay.

''We can follow the Diamond spray river. It leads to the Mud Kingdom and into the sea.'' Said Tsunami excitedly.

Yes Dusk could see himself travel with this group. He liked these dragons.
