A lot happens this chapter.

Jerome's pov

"Hey dood," Mitch says when I walk back into the house. "Where have you been?"

"Uh... out," I say. "I ran across a dragon earlier. One of those little brown ones."

"Really? I did too. I wonder if it was the same one," he says. "So, I'm assuming that, since you saw it, you were somewhere in the woods."

"Yes, actually," I say. "There was this one area that I kept on hearing things. Rustles and little whistles. It was weird."

He freezes from where he was looking through a chest and turns to me. "Rustles and whistles?"

"Yeah. It was over by that abandoned town. Few days ago though. I've been exploring a bit," I say.

"Could you show me? I want to check it out," he says, grabbing his sword and putting his helmet on. I just shrug and grab my diamond axe, strapping it on my back.

"Why not?"

"It should be around here somewhere that I heard it," I say, pushing a tree branch to the side. "Oh. Right here."

Mitch passes me, looking at the ground as he walks before kneeling down and picking something up from the grass. I follow him, and look over his shoulder to see him looking closely at a dark blue scale.

"Thats weird," he says, pulling out a book. "I've never seen a dragon with scales like this..."

"What are you talking about?," I ask, and he jumps.

"Uh... nothing."

"Are you hiding something?," I ask. He sighs.

"Promise you won't freak out?"

"Sure."

"I may or may not have started a club that is against the hatred toward dragons?"

I give a breath of relief. "I thought you were gonna say you kill dragons or something. So is that one girl in the club?"

"What do you mean that- wait! That Dendriod was you!"

I shrug, then morph into my true form, crawling over to him and jumping up to stand on his shoulder. He just laughs, and I jump off, changing back to my human form. At least... humanish form.

"So. Mind if I join that club?," I ask.

"Of course not. Why would I mind that my best bud wants to join my club?," he laughs, then looks back at the scale. "I want to find out what this came from, though."

He sits and opens his book, then starts flipping through the pages. "Soft... fine... the only dragon with fine scales are Waterwinds..."

"Could it be a new breed?," I suggest, and he gasps, jumping up and looking at me.

"You know how great that would be for the club? A new dragon! New thoughts! These dragons would never know what the humans are like! We could start the process of turning their minds around! Hold on. I need to get my club."

"You mean the rest of the club?," I ask as he runs off.

"Exactly!"

Ty's pov

I stare up at the Boulderskin, it moving it's head down toward me while growling. I knew it was angry, and I had to do something fast.

In a flash I transform into my dragon form, reaching up with a leg to claw at it's face. The Boulderskin roars, jumping off of me and shaking it's head, letting me stumble up onto me three good legs and face it in a defensive form.

It growls, turning back to me and spreading its wings. 'Like it didn't seem big enough already,' I think, and growl back.

Then, an icy blue dragon lands between us, looking back and forth from me to the Boulderskin while waving it's tail. It eventually focuses on me for a few moments before whipping its head to the Boulderskin, roaring at it. The Boulderskin snorts and lowers its head, turning and retreating into the cave.

As it disappears into the darkness, I change back into my human form. Immediately I feel my leg nearly give out and lean against the wall of the cave I was next to, taking a deep breath before looking up.

I was just able to see the outline of the icy blue dragon in the nearly pitch-black cave, which I now realize must be a Frostback. It turns to me again, looking at me for a moment before leaning closer to me and blowing a cold wind onto my leg, numbing it. Then it looks up at me before flying off.

I stand there for a moment before shaking my head, changing to my dragon form and flying back outside.

"You saw a Frostback?!," Sky shouts to me later. "Could it still be there?"

"I'm not sure," I sigh. "But could you help me over to somewhere I can sit, please?"

"Oh. Right. Right," he says, walking over and letting me lean on him as he brings me to the couch. "Here. Let me get a healing potion for you."

I nod as he goes into his storage room, coming back with the healing potion. I drink it, feeling my leg tingle as the bones mend, and hand the bottle back to him as I stand.

"Now I really want to see it," Sky sighs.

"I was surprised myself," I say. "I could've sworn they went extinct by now. How could that one have survived?"

There is silence for a bit before Sky's eyes widen and he looks at me. "You don't think... could it change?"

"If it can, it could be any of us," I say.

"They would be really comfortable in the cold," Sky says, and I think back to when Bethany had taken her jacket off in the snow.

However, I shake that thought out of my head. "It could still be anybody," I say, not sure if it was to myself or to him.

"Well. Maybe we'll run into them sometime," Sky sighs. "Shame though..."

"Well, at least they weren't a Gemeye."

"Good point," he agrees. "Want to go flying for a bit? Sophie, Jason, and I haven't flown for fun in a long time."

I shrug. "Why not."

Jason snorts out a laugh as he blows some of the cloud into my face, and I shake my head, going further above the clouds to avoid him doing that again. Sophie was flying along on her back while Sky was flying quickly around us, partly to have fun but also to keep an eye out for danger.

I feel the sun beat down on my wings and back, and close my eyes, welcoming the heat that I had been missing so much. It had been years since I went to my family's old home, so surrounded by lava that one would think it was the nether.

I sigh when I think about my family, and Sophie flies down next to me. "What's got you down?," she asks.

"Just going through memories," I say. "The sun reminded me of my family. Well... where my family and I used to live, to be more specific."

"Oh...," she says, and we go into an awkward silence. "How long has it been since you've seen them?"

"Honestly, nearly fifty years," I sigh. "The clash had my parents frightened, so they sent me and my siblings up here. I went to look for them a few years back, but..." I just shudder, thinking of when I flew down to the lava lake underground only to find my parent's skulls on top of a victory podium, lots of minecraftians around them.

Sophie is silent until she looks at me, then forward again. "I was... the minecraftians stole me as an egg. I never knew my family."

"Wow," I say.

"Yeah," she growls, snorting once. "They thought that I was some sort of trophy or something. I remember hatching and being terrified when I saw all of the scales and claws and-"

She cuts off and shudders, much like I did, and I sigh. "I just don't understand why they would do this to us."

"They're scared," she says. "They think that because one of us went bad, the rest of us are. That's why when they kill one of us, we're seen as a trophy instead of a loss. They forget that we are living things too, with families and friends and hopes and dreams."

"We should show them," I say, making her look at me.

"What?"

"We need to show them that it isn't fair," I say, stopping. "Just because one of us turned evil doesn't mean that the rest of us are at fault for it. It doesn't mean that we don't hate that Darktail too. They need to learn that, and we need to teach that."

"How do we do that?," Sky asks, flying over. I look down to the clouds and see Jason looking up, and realize they had been listening the entire time. "They won't listen to us."

"They we don't tell them," I say. "We show them."

"How?"

"By getting rid of the Darktail."

They all look at me like I'm insane, but I just laugh, doing a flip in the air and speeding by them.

No joke. That final scene was so refreshing to write and I don't know why XD

I am soooooooooo sorry that it's been so long since I updated. I will say again, I have been working on my story 'Different' for a long time, but I finished writing it recently, so I have a lot more time to work on my other stories, including this one. And also, it's summer now! That means there is even more time to write! I'm really gonna try and pick this story back up. I really love it and the idea of it and the whole plot that I've thought up, I just need to write it now.

Yay!

Anyways, when they are dragons they don't really speak in words. They speak how you would expect them to. With growls and snorts and such.

To be honest, I have no clue where the last scene came from. All of a sudden they were flying as dragons and then Sophie and Ty were talking about their pasts and... yeah. I hope you liked it!

I promise Ill try to work on this more! Bye!
