"Layla! Layla!" I yelled as I sped ahead toward her. Surprisingly enough none of the other dragons ordered me to go back to my position. They all sort of just moved out of the way as I sped trough. Once I got up next to Layla she gazed over, and then focused back ahead.

"You know you are supposed to stay back with your group, Glacia," she said in a bossy tone.

"I know, but I had a vision," I explained, "We don't have to fly all over the place looking for them! They are in the shrine in the outskirts of the plains, and Cynder is not with them, but she will be coming soon, so we need to hurry."

Layla looked over at me stunned. A few dragons nearby just looked at me like I was a lunatic. Then Layla nudged me forward.

"Lead us," she said.

"What?"

"I don't know where we are going, but you do, so lead us there."

I took lead in front of everyone. I was aware they were all following my move. I dove closer to the plains as we approached, and spotted the shrine. Quickly, we were attacked by strange ugly winged beasts, and Layla ordered Terron's and Derrikus's groups to kill them off. Both groups flew out of the line, into the winged beasts attacking us.

We saw the shrine below and dived into it. There were countless apes around there, and in the middle of the fighting, were a few dragons that were being killed, including Anayra, who was the only one struggling to fight. Layla's group went toward the apes that were attacking Anayra's group, and Naela's dragons got the others. We were left to fight the others as well.

I didn't know what to do at first, until I saw Duke flaming some tiny ape. Zepta had taken to the sky and was zapping them in the air. Since it was daytime, Silver couldn't use her powers, and attacked them normally along with Aidon. I wasn't sure what to do until I found myself surrounded by some big apes.

"So, there is another purple dragon?" one of the apes declared.

"Yeah," I said, "Too bad your ass won't see another again!"

I used my ice breath and froze all the apes in a single breath. Aidon took this opportunity to help me attack their frozen forms. After we hacked that group, there were still many apes. We were doing pretty well too, and it was so easy that it was fun. Until we heard a call to get in the air. All of the dragons leapt into the air, and then Layla started to rise. I thought she was coming up with us, but instead she let out huge sonic booms that shook the earth. All of the apes fell into the ground. I thought Anayra and her troops may have fallen, but I noticed them being carried by other dragons.

After they were all destroyed, we flew back to the resistance. I was back in formation with the rest of my group. Everything was extremely quiet on the way back. It could have been that we were all still pumped from the battle, or that Layla was radiating anger the whole way back. All I know was that as soon as we landed, I wasn't going to stay around for the yelling.

As soon as we landed, Layla stood under the opening. When I turned toward my cave, she blocked me with her tail.

"You stay," she ordered, "this is mandatory."

I didn't even want to argue with her. I obediently took my place next to Aidon, in a circle that was forming around Anayra's group. This was a bit extreme in my opinion, but I guess Layla had a good reason. Once the circle was formed, she began.

"To start, what the hell gave you all the idea to follow her into battle?"

The dragons didn't answer.

"I want an answer!"

"She threatened us," said one of them.

"I don't care if she ripped off all your limbs and ate your horns; she does not make the calls on when to fight. I do! Now, you all fall back."

All of them fell back, except for Anayra, who was very smug.

"What the hell got into your head that gives you the right to attack?"

"I thought since we had an opening, that saving the guardians would be an opportunity."

"Well it wasn't! They weren't even there! You were following some blind instinct, right!"

"Yes, but at least I'm doing something with myself, unlike you."

Holy crap, was she really going to do that?

"Shut the hell up, Anayra," Layla yelled, "I have put up with your attitude long enough! You do not attack unless I give the orders; you know you could have killed someone! You almost did, but you are so damn lucky that Glacia was able to see where you were and get us to your stupid ass on time!"

All heads jerked to me. Anayra snarled at me.

"Unlike you fools, I do not rely on some soon to be traitor to decide what goes on. I follow my own path, and I made a risk to stop them, which is nothing I can say for you!"

"Well, it's enough to say. You are dismissed from your position as leader. From now on, you will not be allowed to lead any dragons, and you are to be the last member in my group."

"You little…"

"Oh, it get's better," she continued, "Krouger will be moved from my group and take place as leader of your old group. I will also tell you that if one more claw is out of line, your ass is out of here!"

After a moment of awkward silence, Anayra spoke.

"Whatever, I am here only to fight Malefor, and since we are not doing such, it doesn't matter to me, hell I may leave tonight."

"Well good riddance!" Layla spat. After that the circle disbanded and Anayra flew into out the exit. We all stared at her watching.

"It's about time she got what she deserved!" Duke said as he sat down.

"Tell me about it, she has been a total bitch since the day I met her." Zepta began, "It's no wonder that she is so rude! If her sister were here she would have been torn into..."

"Wait, you know about her sister?" I asked.

"Everyone does," Silver said, "she bitches about her often. But all we know is that her sister fought her and worked for the Dark Master, which isn't too shocking since a lot of dragons did fight for him."

"Really, like who?" I asked.

"Not a lot, just a few dragons from the dragon island prison, and the Steel dragons." Aidon explained.

"Steel dragons?"

"Yeah, they are dragons made of pure steel, and they are able to manipulate anything with a mineral in it," Silver explained, "They were great allies, until Malefor's beast disappeared. Then they left. At least that is what my mom told me."

Before I could ask, Aidon added that her mother was a steel dragon, but ran away from the group after they stopped working for the Dark Master.

"Were there many of them?" I asked.

"Not really," Zepta explained, "they had a disease that appeared in mostly female dragons, where at a certain age, their insides would turn into complete steel and they would shut down, so that is why as soon as a dragoness is able to breed, they…uh…you know…"

"Force them to breed!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's sick," Duke said, "but most of the kids were born as girls, and most of them died."

"So does that mean…"

"I gotta go," Silver said running off. The other shrugged and walked of to do their own business. I looked at Aidon.

"We don't know yet," he answered, "she is only half steel dragon, so no one knows if she picked up the disease, but if she did, she only has a few years left on her."

I looked down. Poor Silver. I couldn't imagine waiting for death. I hope she lives. She deserves to enjoy life, as do we all.

I took my usual walk with Aidon, and retired to my cave. The day had been long and tiring, and I just wanted to rest. As soon as I shut my eyes, I had another vision. I was used to this by now. Most of my visions were random things about dragons I hadn't even heard about, but as soon as my vision showed two green dragons coming out of an egg, I knew this would be interesting….
