I want to let you guys know that I have taken the liberty of posting every Monday because I am so far ahead. I don't think you guys will mind though... Anyway, let's read, shall we?

Chapter VIII

The humming was almost unbearable after just three miles of flying. Banana was somewhere behind them humming. He couldn't stand it much longer.

"Banana! You are driving me insane with the humming. Please, stop." Banana materialized beside him.

"But I'm not humming. I thought that was you."

"Well, if it's not me or you and Morningstar is over there." He said gesturing to her flying form. "So, who is doing it if it isn't any of us?" Shadow filled with dread when he turned his head back to look. A quite stunning dragoness was falling in behind. Her silver scales glittered in the sun and had black scales dotted throughout her form. She looked like the polar opposite of a Nightwing (no pun intended). A obvious hybrid of an Icewing and a Nightwing.

"Oh, wow, she's cute. I think I'm in love." Banana's scales turned a solid pink which was something he rarely did. "So, um, are you lost? I can help you find the way. Unless you were looking for the Love Doctor. In which case, here I am." Her only answer was giving him a very strange look.

"Really? You haven't even met her and your hitting on her?"

"But she's cute. It's technically a complement."

"I'm sorry ma'ma, please excuse my dear friend, Banana. I don't know what's gotten into him. My name is Shadow, may I ask for yours?" She hesitantly answered in a voice that didn't sound like any Nightwing or Icewing he had heard. It probably sounded like the winter wind flowing through a cave. The icy tinge of the Icewings was there, along with the lightness he heard in Morningstar's voice.

"Don't be sorry for him. It happens all the time. My beauty hardly goes unnoticed wherever I go. As of my name, it's Aurora. Now,who is she?" She pointed a talon in the direction of Morningstar who had stopped flying and was waiting for them to catch up.

"That's Morningstar. I'm sure that you'll like her."

"Yes, I know I will. Can we just keep moving? Preferably away from the Kingdom of The Sky." A sense of uneasiness passed through him.

"Are you in trouble with them or something? I understand if you don't want to tell us, but, I would like to know if we are in any danger." She laughed a great, big hearty laugh.

"I have a feeling that you guys are all ready in some trouble. Especially since both of you have wounds from some sort of tussle. And no, I'm not in trouble with the law. I just have ... a stalker, if you will. I'm just trying to get awary from him." He wanted so badly to search her thoughts, but that was rude according to Morningstar. But what if she's lying? What if she is a criminal on the run? How would we know? From far off Morningstar called to them interrupting his thoughts.

"Hey! Are you guys coming or not? We should probably get a move on before your father realizes that he got played." She yelled at them.

"So, I can stay with you guys, right? You know, the more the merrier sort-of thing." That look... he's seen it on Claymoth before when he was trying to get food from other dragons. Her eyes had widened and her head cocked to the left slightly. Humans know it as "puppy eyes" but dragons don't seem to have a name for it, yet.

"I don't see as to why you can't so go right ahead." Banana said turning to follow Morningstar. He flew with her in silence whilst she slowly fell behind from the group.

"How can you stand him? Why are you even friends? What did that to you two? Can that happen to me too?" She said when Banana was out of earshot. He was quite taken back by her suddenly bombarding him with questions.

"Please, just one question at a time." Aurora took in a breath and let it out. She responded slowly.

"What caused your injuries and, in turn, will they happen to me?" Much better.

"We just got into a tussle. Nothing to worry about. But there is, however, a highly sociopathic animus on our tails. He might hurt you. So, is your stalker worse than an animus?" She seemed to take it well. Good? She changed the topic almost instantly but Shadow swaved it off.

"How long have you known him? Banana. Of corse he's the only other guy..." She seemed to get lost in her thoughts.

"I've known him since I hatched. We're like brothers." He interrupted her thoughts. "Me, Claymoth, Banana, and Blacklight. We were raised together and we raised each other."

"Who's Claymoth and Blacklight?"

"You'll find out soon enough." And so they continued to fly on in silence but one question nagged at Shadow. Why hadn't my father used magic that wasn't pre-enchanted?

The impossible has happened! A big thank you to Xtremsilly1563 who was the first person to post on this story. I will be looking out for those run-ons and, if you want, I'll capitalize the "W" in tribe names. Anyway, not going to lie but I almost didn't upload due to internet problems. With this in mind, something like that might happen next week. I doubt it but it might screw me over when I least expect it...
