Author's note before the story! That's unusual for me... oh well. just in case some of you weren't aware. This story does take place in the Race to the Edge time setting. ALSO, Season five of race to the edge, at least in America, came out on August 25 on Netflix. YAY

OK calm down Moon. These people don't want to hear fangirling they want to read the story. The new cover is actually pictures of Wythra's dragon friends. The middle picture is Sunfern, and the rest you might already know. Some you don't yet.

I hope you enjoy reading!

~~~Wythra's POV~~~

"This place is huge..." I muttered as I peeked around the wooden hut's corner.

My gaze wandered around the huge hideout. There were several wooden huts, all connected by bridges, gangplanks and... "a zip line?" I asked out loud.

Hot air came wafting over my shoulder. "Yes, yes I know. Back off please." I whispered, using one hand to shove Sunfern's head back slightly. "Your bigger then me. They'll see you first."

I moved back into the shade casted off by the hut and looked over at Sunfern. She was huddled down uncomfortably to keep out of view. I held back a snort at the sight.

She huffed indignantly and let out a puff of smoke in my face. "Hey!" I whispered loudly, waving it away. "Don't do that. They'll see smoke." She turned her head away to look at the sky.

"What?" I followed her gaze to the sky. I don't see anything, but that's doesn't mean theres no one there.

I turned back around and looked around the corner one last time. I waved forward and scuttled over to the next hut. Sunfern slipped in behind me a moment later.

I flinched back as something ran past me squealing. A boar?

I leaned forward slightly to get a better look. Sunfern let out a loud squawk and dragged me back. Two figures landed on the ground where I had just been. "You missed the boar!" One of them exclaimed standing up to point an accusing figure at the other.

"I didn't miss! You missed!" The other jumped up to defend themselves. Sunfern slowly kept stepping back, dragging me back with her.

I scrambled to my feet and climbed up onto her back. My gaze flickered over her tail spikes which were now fully out as I swung up.

Sunfern took off into the air and started ascending into the sky. "What was that!" I heard the faint exclamation behind me.

"Wild dragon!" I ducked down more, holding on tight as the base below exploded into action as dragons took off, all heading for me and Sunfern.

"Gronkleiron."
