Sunny stood there in shock. Her mother? Was this truly her mother? Was she as bad as her friend's families? Clay's mother had sold him for a few cows, Starflight's father was a scientist and experimented on Rainwings and Coral, Tsunami's mother was, well interesting. Dusk's family was dead and Glory's family was unknown. And now she had finally met her mother or well meeting her mother.
''My, mother? I always hoped i would meet you someday. I-i do not know what to say. Here i am finally meeting you.'' Said Sunny excitedly. It was true. She had always wondered how her parents would be like. She had dreamed of meeting them like every other dragonet of destiny.
Thorn just smiled. ''Well, here i am.''
Dusk just stood there, behind Sunny. He was happy for her of course. But he was also sad. He was sad because he would never get to have this. A family reunion. Both of his parents died several thousand years ago. It would be impossible as long as he lived. And it would be hard in death too. His father's spirit was trapped on the claws of the clouds mountains and his mother's spirit was part of a council. He sighed.
''Oh mother, this is my best friend. Dusk. He is a hybrid too. He has helped a lot.'' Said Sunny smiling towards him.
''Pleased to meet you Dusk. I am Thorn, Sunny's mother.'' Said Thorn with a smile.
''I heard. Pleased to meet you as well Thorn.'' Said Dusk.
Sunny leaned next to him and whispered in his ear. ''Something wrong?''
Dusk shook his head a little. ''No. It's fine. I promise.''
He gave her the signal that he didn't want to talk about it. 'Probably for the best. It would be a pretty bad time to bring that up right now.' He thought.
''Mother. This is hard to say but. I know we have a lot of catching up to do. But do you think it can wait till after the war is over? Me and Dusk were going to get some rest before continuing.'' Said Sunny with mixed feelings in her voice.
Thorn remained silent before saying. ''I understand. I really do. My answer is yes. But. I want you to stay safe. Don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. Act smart, stay alive, stick together, and don't be an idiot. Those are basic rules if you two should continue. Is that clear?''
The two dragonets nodded.
''Good. Now i want you two to continue on your journey and we will talk more when all this is over.'' Said Thorn with a smile.
Sunny nodded sadly. ''Okay..''
''Don't be sad Sunny. It will all be over soon. And then we can finally have peace.'' Said Dusk trying to cheer her up.
''Yeah, you are right.''
Thorn lead them to the main gate. The two dragonets looked back at the older Sandwing.
''Be careful alright.'' Said Thorn looking her daughter in the eyes.
''We will be, mom.'' Said Sunny who looked towards Dusk who gave the older Sandwing a nod.
''You better get moving then.'' Said Thorn. Thorn nearly forgot to mention something. ''Oh and before you leave. If you don't already know. The key to stopping this war is a necklace called the eye of onyx. It's the only way you can choose a new queen for the sandwings.''
The two dragonets nodded.
Two days had passed and the two dragonets had finally gotten out of the desert again. They had to find the eye of onyx. It could be anywhere but there was only one place it most likely would be. And that was Burn's stronghold. Aka the old Sandwing royale palace. So what were they doing back on the other side of the mountain range that was the claws of the clouds mountains? Well, they had heard a rumor of a special gem hidden in a scavenger den not too far away from the kingdom of sand. And if it was the type of gem they thought it was. Then it would be a great asset and would help their mission a great deal. This gem was of course a dream visitor Starflight had found one of these on the Nightwing island.
They were getting closer and closer to the scavenger den. They could see the ruins of it not too far away.
''So what do we do with this Dream visitor when we get it?'' Asked Dusk
''We use it to contact the others and plan what we should do. We need a plan to stop the war.'' Said Sunny
''Yeah okay. But what if we can't come up with something?''
''We will figure something out Dusk.''
''You are probably right.''
Sunny gave him a reassuring smile. ''We are here. Now to start searching. We are looking for a saphirre. A blue gem.''
The two dragonets searched for hours but couldn't find anything.
''Well we have searched for hours and nothing.'' Said Dusk.
''It's got to be here somewhere.'' Said Sunny as she ignored Dusk's comment and continued searching.
Dusk heard a sound coming from one of the bushes. It sounded like two teenagers arguing. But these teenager clearly knew he and Sunny was here and was trying to keep themself alive. He walked closer to the bush. He wanted to test if they could understand him, since he had been human himself at some point.
''Umm, hello? Don't be afraid i'm not gonna hurt you.'' Said Dusk trying to speak English. Which didn't really work but at the same time. They didn't run away so that was a plus. He noticed a leather bag that the male scavenger was holding. Dusk pointed at the bag and gave them the signal to give it to him. They did as he wished and gave him the bag. He gave them the signal to run away which they also followed and got out off there.
''Sunny! I got it!'' Yelled Dusk.
It took Sunny a minute to get back to Dusk after she heard him yell her name.
''What is it Dusk? I'm trying to find the-'' She noticed the Saphirre he was holding. ''You found it!? How?''
''A couple of scavengers found it. And they gave it to me.''
''That's great! We'll have to contact the other tonight, and figure out a plan.''
Later that night
Tsunami, Clay, Glory and Starflight was all asleep in their hut in the Rainforest. They had managed to free the Rainwings and most off the Nightwings followed as well and accepted Glory as their new queen. The nightwings had their own area of course. Since having both the Nightwings and the Rainwings together would be a bad idea.
Glory was having a nice sun filled dream, it was quickly interrupted by Sunny?
''Sunny? What are you doing in my dream?''
''Me and Dusk found a dream visitor. We are near the claws of the clouds mountains. We are going to make our way back to you guys tomorrow. It's about time we finish this. We are going to need a plan.'' Said Sunny
''Alright i will wake up and tell the others now. We can discuss it when you guys are here.''
Sunny nods before disappearing from the dream.
The end of the war was drawing near.
So this was a short one obviously. I have been gone for quite a while. There has been much going on in my life the last year and my motivation and time to write was both been small. I have gotten a few reviews the last few months and while i am grateful that some people likes to read my crappy stories, you don't need to ask when a new chapter is coming. New chapters will come when i have motivation and time to write which i haven't had the last months. So please be patient with me.
Making me rush things isn't good either. This chapter is a bit rushed i know and obviously very short. I hope the next few chapters will be longer but we'll see. There might be like two chapters left by the way. The next chapter and a epilogue. I have thought about a possible sequel. But i have decided against it for now. We will see if i get enough time. I have another story i need to finish as well so that might need to come first.
Anyways bye bye
