Chapter 6:

It was morning. Bloom had just woken up, and Clear was up and at it working on who-knows-what. After Clear fired up on Bloom after she questioned about the little 'hut' she made yesterday, all Bloom said was "Umm . . . Clear? I think you should start packing up here . . . We're going to search south of the village after some morning fruit." Clear's head snapped tword Bloom and said "What are you talking about? There's a campfire north of here." Bloom was utterly confused. All rainwings know that Starfruit grows on the beachside, and it's like a paradise. Tword inland is muddy and the trees have no fruit, beside coconuts. Why would anyone camp further north? And . . . What's a Campfire? Is it when someone accidently sets a camp on fire? "Come over here." called Clear "Let me show you what I made. I used a gleaming stone-like gem to reflect the light of the fire here- see? And if I aim it over the trees to the north- see? You can vaguely see the white smoke. The white smoke means that the campfire burned out, but if it were grey or black, it would mean that the fire were still going- so that means that they left their old camp, but they're slow- so they could only be within a 5-mile radius of that fire-" Bloom was getting dizzy, so she asked "Wait- They?" Clear looked over and said "Umm . . . Yeah . . . the guys whom took- Bonsai, was it?- it couldn't have been alone. If Bonsai were the same size as you, then it would take at least 2 dragons to take him, but he would make quite the struggle, so he would at least make some noise. According to records, nobody noticed he went missing, so there would have been at least 4 dragons total to kidnap Bonsai and keep him quiet." Clear's sudden logic made Bloom fickle. Clear, at first, acted timimd and confused- or at least confusing. Then, she was defensive, and now she's actiong like she knows everything! Who are you really, Clear? thoughts circled around in Bloom's head, including one question that barely seemed relevant- Why are you here?

What's going on? I can think . . . I can feel . . . I think I can hear . . . but my body won't move . . . "Open your eyes and stand up." I guess it's Ugra Atma. Can he not understand I can't move? But suddenly, Bonsai's eyes opened, but it was like seeing through thick coconut milk. Then, he stood up and looked Ugra Atma in the eyes. It felt like each scale was weighing him down, and all he wanted to do was collapse, but his body won't let him. "Hah. You see this stone?" Ugra said holding the same stone he had pressed to Bonsai's chest last night. He stood up streight, just like last night, just before blacking out. Bonsai tried to speak, but his muzzle wouldn't move. Ugra just laughed "You know, you are very important. Badalana is crucial to me and my people. It is why we are what we are. And you, you are going to do exactly what I say . . . because you have to." Bonsai wanted to groan in pain, but he couldn't. "Now, lie down untill I instruct you further" Bonsai lied down, although it gave him no comfort. Later, the white-blue Skywing, Saundarya, stopped by his chamber. She looked like she was about to cry. "I'm so sorry. I belive this is cruel, but Ugra Atma said we have no choice . . ." We? Is 'We' the same as the 'my people' Ugra Atma was talking about earlier? " . . . He said a sacrafice had to be made in order for it to work . . ." Sacrifice?! I thought I was scared before with waking up and finding out I have no control of my body! and what's the 'it'? This day just keeps getting worse and worse . I wish you were here, Bloom, maybe then I could have some of the fruit you went to get me . . .

"Clear! This is not the time to be working on some weird contraption or other!" shouted Bloom. They had reached the camp, but it was a trap. Earlier, When they reached the camp, Clear held Bloom back before entering, muttering something like " 50% chance of at least two of the group staying behind to either finish packing up or scavenging for dragons, like us, whom are searching for Bonsai . . ." Bloom groaned. "It's safe, Clear! Let's just see if they left any tracks . . ." Clear tried to stop her saying something about an ambush, but Bloom just guessed she was nervous. Bloom kept walking until she found a little flower on the ground. It was an Iris. Bloom was about to pick it up, when Clear smashed into her. "Three moons, Clear! What was that all about?!" I was just piking up a flower . . . Old habits die hard . . ."Bloom! Don't you see? It was left by-" "The dragons that took Bonsai? Why would they leave a perfectly good Iris flower on the ground?" Bloom went over to pick up the flower. Clear looked like she was trying hard not to say something. Go on thought Bloom I'm always ready to hear your 'little secret'. But just as she picked up the Iris, vines ensneered her in a trap. "Well, well, well . . . Look who Sāpha brought to the party, boys . . ." hissed a dragon right behind Clear. Suddenly, 3 dragons surrounded them. The one behind Clear held ,what looked like a long arrowhead as sharp as talons, right up agenst her kneck. "Oh, don't you remember me, Sāpha? I'm Hatyārā . . . Also, Ugra sends his regards . . ." Hatyārā said with a sly grin. "That's not my name anymore . . ." Clear choked out "It isn't? Oh, such a shame . . . Now I don't know who to adress this next tombstone to . . . " Wait . . . What? Bloom thought, puzzled. Then, Bloom noticed how alike Clear and Hatyārā were. Hatyārā looked like like a Seawing version of Clear, only slimmer.

"Hatyārā, tell Ugra to LEAVE ME ALONE. I don't want anything to do with-" "Oh, I know what you want. The thing is . . . Ugra had officialy labeled you as 'Dangerous' and 'Traitor' and 'WANTED: Dead or Alive' . . . shall I coninue?" What is going on here? And who is this 'Ugra' dragon? "Hatyārā . . . I will give you to the count of five to let me and Bloom go . . ." Hatyārā started laughing, but the other two were shifting uneasily. "One . . . Two . . ." Hatyārā was practically dying of laughter, but the two others looked like they were ready to jump and fly off. "Threefourfive!" the next set of events were all a blur to Bloom. Clear hit Hatyārā's hand and sent the 'sharp arrowhead' flying, knocked over Hatyārā, caught the arrowhead, and slashed at Hatyārā (but she was only wounded). Then, the braver of the two dragons tried to pin Clear, but she threw the arrowhead and it pinned the dragon's wing to the nearest tree. A few more came out of the trees. Clear muttered "I thought you wanted to challenge me . . ." just before swinging one into the vines above- fortunatly snapping them and setting Bloom free. But just as Bloom expected to knock the rest of the dragons out, Clear rushed to get some vines and started tieing them around two tree trunks, which is when Bloom shouted "Clear! This is not the time to be working on some weird contraption or other!" but Clear was muttering to herself. Suddenly, one of the dragons pinned her "Clear! A little help might be nice!" Suddenly, a coconut bonked her pursuer in the head. Bloom looked up, and saw the most bizzare sight- Clear was pulling back the vines, and used them to shoot dragons with coconuts. Bloom couldn't help it but say "let me try that!"

After all of the dragons had been knocked out by coconut bombs, Clear started looking for another campfire while Bloom looked for clues. As she was searching, Bloom came across a scroll that said 'Days untill Badalana'. It looked as if it first said '30' but then it kept getting crossed out and reeplaced by the next number down untill the only number that wasn't crossed out was 'two'. It seemed suspicous to Bloom. "Hey, Clear, come over here." Bloom called. "What do you think of this?" Clear held the scroll and took a good look at it. Her expression was rather hard to read, but Bloom guessed she would mostly turn pink. "Umm . . . Clear? When did they leave camp?" Bloom asked to break the silence. Not quite the question she wanted to ask, but it would have to do. Clear turned and replied "I'm guessing around sunrise. So that means Badalana is in two days . . ." "What is it? Badalana, I mean." Clear looked cautiously at Bloom, as if wondering what to say. Then she quietly said "Badalana only happens when at least one of the moons is full, it doesn't matter which one. There are two diffrent kinds. The first allows certian . . . dragons . . . to change into diffrent breeds." Wait . . . why did she pause when she said dragons? "Sooo . . . is that why you look like that?" Clear responded nervously "Not quite . . . Only black gemstones called 'relics' can allow you to change shape like that . . . I just so happened to find one . . ." Again with that pause! Was Clear always doing this? "Well . . . umm . . . where to next?" Clear looked on a scroll she had been writing. It looked like she was drawing a map of the rainforest. " I saw a campfire around . . . here, to the east. That must be where they went." Clear and Bloom were about to leave, when something shiney caught Bloom's eye. It looked like a sapphire or some lapis, formed into the shape of a single raindrop. As she lifted it up, Bloom noticed it had a silver chain. It was a bit big, but Bloom put it around he kneck before following Clear. Don't worry, Bonsai . . . We're coming to rescue you.
