Sorry for the long wait guys. I've been travelling, and we changed our wifi server, so we didn't have internet for a while, and we had to reset my computer, so I couldn't upload. And next I was getting ready for the horse show I'm going to in a couple of days. (Which, to make matters worse, my horse's tail is matted with burrs. 'Joy') Anyways, I'll be at the hose show for a few days, and then I'm going camping for a week, so there will be a while between updates. I'll try and upload another chapter after this one before then though! Hope you guys like this chapter!

Thanks for reviewing to…

Nakeya, Talon, and Zack ran breathlessly towards the meeting point. They finally stopped under the cover of the trees.

"Did we lose them?" Zack asked. Nakeya nodded. "Good." The orange Gronkle said.

Talon looked up into the trees. "I think it's okay to come down now."

Athena, Zaltana, Felix, and Toothless jumped down from the trees.

"We have to move. They won't be long." Felix said. "Where's Stuart?"

"Uh. Stuart… didn't make it." Talon sighed.

"Honour him, we will, as soon as we get away." Zaltana said. Everyone nodded.

"I know where we can go." Talon said. The group followed him until they came to a river. "We can camp on the river. That way, we'll have water, but can move our position every day. I think the river follows a canyon that leads to the ocean." Talon said.

After scoping out the area to make sure they weren't being watched, everyone went to sleep, hiding away in the forest as best they could. Each took watch to make sure the guards didn't come back.

Over the following week, the seven dragons travelled along the river towards the coast. Talon was right about the canyon, and soon the North Seas were in sight.

"There it is." Athena said, looking out over the ocean as they reached the cliffs at its edge.

"You've never seen anything like this before, have you?" Nakeya spoke up.

"Only in books. It's a lot better in person." Athena answered, gazing over the ocean.

"Books and pictures can never substitute for real life." Zaltana commented, coming to stand next to Athena.

"We'll camp here for the night, then keep moving in the morning." Felix said.

"Where are we going tomorrow?" Zack asked, trying to get more detail.

"That way." Toothless pointed out over the ocean.

"But we're already at the ocean's edge. We can't go any further." Athena said, confused.

"Sure we can." Talon responded.

"How."

"We fly over it." Talon responded again.

"Isn't it a bit far do to that?" Athena asked.

"There's an island out there, called Berkoshta." Felix said. "We'll stop there after we fly away, and then figure out where we're going from there."

Zaltana looked up at the darkening sky. "As the sun sleeps, so do we. Our strength is of much value at this time."

Zack nodded. "I'll take first watch."

Everyone went to sleep, concealed by the willow trees near the cliffs, getting ready for tomorrow.

Athena blinked awake in the dark. She could here the waves crashing against the cliffs. With her night vision, she could see Felix waking up Talon.

"You're watch." Felix said. "Wake up Nakeya when the moon reaches that point." He said, pointing to the sky. Talon nodded.

"Wait. " Talon said as Felix turned to go back to sleep.

"Talon, I'm really tired. What do you want?"

"I think we should go south after Berkoshta."

"Why? To where?"

"The Isle of Night." Talon whispered. Athena's ears perked up slightly as she wondered what this Isle of Night was, and tried to listen better.

"Are you crazy? That's way too far south and in completely unknown territory!" Felix yell-whispered.

"People have gone there before." Talon argued.

"And none of them have ever come back!" Felix said. "It's t far, and to dangerous."

"Darkoba would never be able to find us there." Talon said, continuing to try and convince Felix to agree.

"There are plenty of other places that they won't find us either." Felix said, turning back around.

Athena wasn't sure if they kept arguing or not, but she didn't care, because she just wanted to sleep.

Athena ran through the tropical forest on an island she had never been on before. There was something chasing after her, but she couldn't see what it was. All she knew was that it was yelling after her, and clearly psychotic.

In the distance she could here explosions and cries of [ain. There were also people yelling. She was sure she had heard the voices before, but she couldn't figure out who they were.

The sky was black, but there were no stars. The air felt like heavy smoke that burnt her lungs when she breathed. The rain was on fire.

Athena ran blindly through the forest, stumbling over nothing, and falling into a cave that immediately sealed off. She looked around in the darkness frantically, searching for an escape, but there was no way out.

She heard an evil laugh, and whipped around, coming face to face with purple eyes.

"It has begun."
