Chapter 15 pt. 2
The next day, the two groups woke up to prepare for the final farewell. After the mess from the party was cleaned up, they met on the beach to say goodbye. Blue Eyes was blubbering like a baby while he tried to say goodbye to Firenha. Luna was also crying when she gave every one a hug goodbye. Zombie Snake was waiting impatiently to leave.
"I don't see what the big deal is," he groaned, "We're going to come back."
"It's just that saying goodbye is hard..." Kayla replied. He sighed.
"Well chicken-wings, it was good meeting you," Zombie Snake said and held his hand out, "Maybe next time we could actually have a real battle against each other. Of course, we all know who the winner would be."
" Same here, lizard-face.. Maybe when I'm not too busy leading the flock." Sky said, shaking his hand.
" So you're going through with being the leader?" Kayla asked. Sky shrugged.
" Somebody has to.. I can't leave it in the hands of the Council, they never agree on anything and part of the leader's job is to agree with at least one of them.." He replied. Zombie Snake nodded. Kayla smiled.
"You sure you guys are going to be okay without us?" she asked, "Any more bad guys we can beat the snot out of?"
" I think we'll be okay.. Without their mastermind and the orbs, I doubt the E-hunters will have a reason to stay in the Dragon Worlds." Sydney said. She nodded. Luna wiped away some tears.
"You've all been so great to be with," she said with a smile, "We promise...after we defeat Terehawken, we'll all be back to stay in the Dragon Realms." They all nodded in agreement. Emma glanced at Luna as an idea came to her mind.
" Luna, hold out your palm.. I want to give you something.." She said. Luna looked a bit confused but held out her palm to her. Emma swiftly took the tip of her horn and jabbed it into Luna's palm until it broke off and became embedded in her skin. It then dissolved into her blood, leaving a silvery scar in the center of her palm.
" I apologize if it gave you any discomfort.." Emma said. Luna clutched her palm but smiled.
"It's all right, but may I ask why this was necessary?"
" It grants you complete immunity to any poison, regeneration for any injury, and it will increase your healing abilities tenfold.." Emma explained. She appeared to be getting slightly paler as she did so. Luna gasped.
"Oh Emma! Your gift is wonderful, but you didn't have to risk hurting yourself for it."
" My risk will give the same benefits that yours will for the lives of others when you fight against your nemesis.." She stated with a smile. Luma smiled and hugged her neck.
"Thank you very much." Emma lowered her head as a way of returning the hug.
" You're quite welcome, Luna." She said. Blue Eyes gave Firenha a farewell hug and looked at her.
"Promise you won't forget me, okay?" Firenha smiled and hugged him back.
" I promise.. as long as you promise not to forget me." She said. He nodded.
"I won't." He planted a sweet kiss on her lips. Zombie Snake glared at Sky, as if saying 'say-any-of-your-stupid-remarks-and-I'll-seriously-shove-feathers-up-your-scrawny-little-ass'. Sky looked taken back at Zombie Snake's glare as Firenha kissed Blue Eyes just as sweetly. Satisfied, Zombie Snake looked away as if he never did anything. Blue Eyes gave her one more hug before walking up the the side of his friends. Kayla stepped up.
"We'll miss you guys very much...we won't ever forget about you after all that we've been through together." Blue Eyes blushed slightly and Zombie Snake gave him a playful nudge in the arm.
" Yeah... It was a fun ride.." Sydney stated with a smirk. Kayla laughed.
"Sure...I can't wait 'til we do it again..." she replied.
" Just one question before you guys leave... how exactly are you getting to Reptilia?" Sky asked. Luna giggled.
"We fly, of course." She raised herself from the ground. Zombie Snake's eyes flashed red and black wings sprouted out of his back. Blue Eyes flapped his wings while Kayla slowly hovered off the ground.
"We'll get there in time," Kayla stated, "We Reptilians can last without air for a time while Luna's an alien. She doesn't need much." Luna smiled.
"I hope your futures work well with you," she said.
" We wish the same for you.. Good luck on your mission at Reptilia.. It was a pleasure to have met you, all of you.." Tatum said, eyeing Zombie Snake as she said the last few words. He didn't catch her gaze and took Luna's hand in his. She smiled up to him and interlocked her fingers with his claws. She raised herself up on her tippy-toes and kissed his lips softly. He blushed but kissed her back. She broke this kiss and held onto his arm. Kayla smirked.
"I'm sure those two will be okay," she turned to Sydney, "I hope you'll pass the extraction process. Otherwise I'd have to beat the crap out of those Elder members."
Blue Eyes nodded. "And I know you'll be a good leader to your tribe, Firenha."
" Thank you.. I'm sure you'll be a big help to everyone during your mission." She said, smiling warmly at him. He grinned.
"Well...time to go...evil can't wait." Zombie Snake flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
"Bye!" Luna waved and burst up into the air too.
"Hey wait up!" Blue Eyes panted and followed them with effort.
"Goodbye..." Kayla waved to Sydney, "Take care of Spyro for me, okay?!"
" You got it!" She replied. Firenha waved at Blue Eyes.
" Bye!" She shouted after him and watched until he was out of sight, " Be safe..."
A tear leaked out of Kayla's eyes and fell as she followed her friends back to Reptilia. Tatum turned back to the others.
" They're well on their way now.. We should be heading back to the Dragon Worlds.. and leave this island back in the hands of legends where it belongs.." Tatum suggested. All except Sky, Emma, and Firenha nodded in agreement.
" Well, I actually should get back to my flock. I should at least let them know that I want in on the leader business." Sky said.
" Very well, Sky.." Tatum said, smiling and Sky flew off after saying goodbye with the necklace of white feathers around his neck.
" I need to return to my herd.. They need to know that Edmund is dead.." Emma said, with a solemn expression. Tatum nodded and went over to her.
" Good luck, Emma.." She said. Emma smiled as Tatum placed her staff on her head and sent her back to her herd.
" Blue Eyes suggested that I should start my own tribe... I wanted to see if that was an option.." Firenha said. Tatum smiled and nodded.
" It won't be an easy task, Firenha.. If you wish, I'll help you along the way.." Tatum suggested. Firenha nodded.
" First I'll need to get all of us back to the Dragon Worlds, then we can start your mission." She said, lifting up her staff as they closed in around her. In a moment, they disappeared back to the Dragon Worlds in a flash of white light.
