Chapter 3

The MudWing continued onwards down the tunnel, following the glowing blue lines that ran across the floor. She heard Rrostbite behind her, and she internally smiled at the fact that the IceWing was back. She could only imagine what everyone would think when she brought him back.

The blue lines suddenly shot straight up, and Lilly stopped. She felt Frostbite run into her, and she stumbled forwards, stopping herself relatively quickly.

"Sorry." Frostbite muttered. The MudWing grunted in acknowledgment before putting out a talon, feeling a wall in front of her.

"I think we climb now." She said as she started climbing up the wall, hearing Frostbite sigh before following after her. She continued upwards for what seemed like hours before she suddenly hit her head on something. Wincing, she reached upwards and prodded the thing she had run into, feeling it move slightly.

Pushing upwards, she lifted it and slid it to one side, causing light to pour into the tunnel. Overcome with joy, she climbed out, blinking as her eyes refocused. Standing in front of her was Lantana, the RainWing's eyes wide.

"Hi Lantana." Lilly said, a grin crossing her face. The RainWing let out a cry of joy and embraced the MudWing, wrapping her wings around her.

"I though we'd lost you." Lantana said softly, then let her go. "What happened?"

"All of that in due time." Lilly promised. "However, right now there is someone who I think you'll be excited to see."

Lantana looked confused, then Frostbite climbed out of the hole, squinting as his eyes adjusted to the light. Lilly saw a look of astonishment cross Lantana's face, before the RainWing smiled.

"Frostbite, good to see you again!" Lantana exclaimed, grabbing the IceWing and dragging him through a doorway. "The others will be so excited to see you!"

Lilly smiled slightly, before moving the cover of the tunnel back. With a yawn, she laid down and closed her eyes, falling asleep instantly.
