''What were you thinking Dusk? Staying behind to fight? I do not care if he is the son of Burn and i do not care if he is some Rainwing animus assassin. Do not do that again. You hear me. We all were worried sick and we thought that you were extremely hurt at best and dead at worst.'' Said Tsunami yelling at Dusk.
The others had let him and Sunny sleep but when they had woken up. Both Dusk and Sunny got a good amount of yelling. Sunny got yelled at for leaving the Rainforest to go back to the sea again and Dusk got yelled at for you know for staying to fight. Clay had given them both hugs and Starflight and Glory had just said that they were happy they both were still alive and that they were worried. Tsunami was the one to yell at them.
''Sorry.'' Mumbled Dusk.
''And you Sunny. Why would you leave the rainforest to go back to the sea again? We are trying to keep ourselves alive. Blister is still out there in the kingdom of the sea.'' Yelled Tsunami at Sunny.
Sunny gave Tsunami a glare. ''I was going to pay my respect to Dusk if he truly was dead. Which he wasn't and i am happy for that.'' She said giving Dusk a nuzzle against his chin.
''It was still not the smart thing to do.'' Said Tsunami.
''I was aware of that.'' Said Sunny get a little frustrated with Tsunami. This was not normal for her. She was almost always happy and if she wasn't happy then she was sad.
''Hey hey hey. Calm down alright. Cmon we'll get ourselves some breakfast and maybe try to find out why there are fourteen missing rainwings.'' Said Clay as he pushed Tsunami out of the healer's hut.
Sunny followed them. She looked back at Dusk. ''I'll return with some fruit after we have eaten. Plus i must help them with the missing rainwings too. So i will probably not be here for most of the time.''
Dusk nodded. ''Please don't get yourself hurt or killed.''
Sunny nodded again.
While rainwings were normally lazy the rainwings at the healer's hut were taking their job very seriously. They had put on bandages for wounds and had plastered his broken leg. They had said that they could not do much for his ribs and that they had to heal over time. As for Webs. They didn't have a cure for sandwing poison. He just slept all day, sometimes mumbling about Riptide.
The dragonets were discussing what to do with the animus tunnel when suddenly a rainwing dashed past them and into the tunnel. It was Mangrove. He was searching for Orchid who was one of the missing rainwings and his partner. The others followed him through the tunnel. He was heading straight for the ice kingdom.
The dragonets follow Mangrove to the ice kingdom.
Sunny enjoyed flying over the desert. So warm and perfect for her. She was meant to be in this environment not in a cave under a mountain. She felt happy and sad at the same time. Happy to experience the desert for the first time but sad to leave Dusk in the healer's hut like that. He was truly special to her. She hadn't realized how much he actually meant for her. She had truly felt on that when she thought he was dead. And now she missed him again. 'No Sunny, Focus on the task and think about Dusk when you are done.' She thought.
later that day
They were at the edge of the ice kingdom now. They had been flying all day and it was finally time to take a break. Everyone was tired after the day and decided the best course of action would be to sleep right now. Sunny wasn't going to sleep just yet.
''Aren't you going to sleep Sunny?'' Asked Clay.
''Not yet. I want to watch something Dusk told me about.'' Said Sunny looking at the night sky.
''The stars?'' Asked Clay confused.
Sunny shook her head. ''He told me about a light on the night sky that would only be visible if you were far up north or really far down south. He said it was something special. He called them Northen lights or Aurora borealis.''
''Hmm, sounds interesting. You can just come and sleep with us when you are done okay?'' Clay said with a small smile.
Sunny smiled back and nodded.
The night sky was lit up with green, light blue and yellow lights slowly flickering over the sky. Sunny had never seen anything like this before. So they had this in Jack's world as well? He said he lived in the northern part of his world. Where there was snow over half the year and cold and rainy weather all the time. Sunny could not bear rain and he experienced it all the time. It would have been a nightmare if she lived there. Snow sounds fun but she could not bear the cold either. No Pyrrihia wasn't that bad. She just hoped Dusk would stay when the prophecy was over. She was sure he would stay since he said that he didn't have an all too good life in his world.
Sunny went to sleep with the others after have watched the northern lights for a while. Dusk was right, it was truly a special experience. And she would never forget it.
Dusk was bored out of his mind. 'Stupid gad damn rainwing assassin. Yeah, your dreams and visions are so interesting. let me just make a few fake ones first.' He thought angry. 'Why couldn't he just kill me? I can't do anything for the next six weeks. That is if dragon bones heal as slow as human bones.'
''Hey Shimmer. How long does it takes for dragon bones to heal if they are broken?'' Asked Dusk.
Shimmer was the rainwing healer who had been taking care of him for the last two days. She was quite nice and took her job very seriously. ''Well that depends but they heal quite fast so i would say a week at most with your injuries. It would have taken just a few days if it was just your leg. But ribs take a few days extra. I would suggest you sleep some more so your body can heal faster.''
'Wow, only a few days? Dragon bones heal quite fast then. only if i can get out of this bed soon. So i can see Sunny again. So i can see the others again. God, i miss them. They will be back soon. Sunny promised. She is good at keeping promises.' He thought. 'Man, being in the healer's hut sucks. I haven't been this bored since i was on earth. And that is what now? two and a half weeks ago?'
Then everything went dark.
Dusk found himself in the room with the statues. The one where a female voice had talked to him.
''It's good to see you alive Jack.'' Said that female voice again. A black dragoness stepped out of the darkness. ''I was afraid we almost lost you in the kingdom of the sea.''
''Who are you? Are you the one who sent me to this world?'' Asked Dusk.
The Nightwing dragoness smiled. ''Yes i did. My name is Brightstar the last active member of the council of Pyrrihia. I am so happy i can finally talk to you in person for once. The others always said that i shouldn't but they don't care at all anymore.''
Dusk was confused. ''Why would you be happy to talk to me? Anyways i have done my best to help the dragonet's.''
''You are doing great. You died in some of the other timelines too. After your fight with Thunder. Anyways that is not why i am happy to finally talk to you.'' Said Brightstar.
''Then what are you so happy about?'' Asked Dusk.
''I have waited so long to be able to talk to my son.'' Said Brightstar. ''Dusk, i am your mother.''
''What!? I am pretty sure my parents are still on earth.'' Said Dusk trying to put everything together.
''No, i had to send your egg away. It was the year the nightwings moved to the volcano. I and your father was afraid of what could happen to you. So we sent you away, to earth where we knew you would be safe. We never knew how long it would be before you returned. When i saw you near the entrance to Pyrrihia i knew i had to get you back. I also saw the dragonets in trouble at this time as well. I knew you could help them. I hope you aren't mad at me.'' Said Brightstar.
Dusk didn't know what to think. He was actually a dragon? His mother was standing right in front of him and she looked like she regretted everything. ''No, i am not mad. How could i be?''
''You have your father's voice. By the moons i miss him.'' Said Brightstar.
The room changed and Dusk could now see land now abandon. ''How long is it since you sent away my egg mom?'' Dusk asked.
Brightstar sighed. ''It is now two thousand years ago. This here is the old Nightwing kingdom. It was located near the kingdom of sand and jade mountain. It was beautiful Dusk. It was your home.''
''What was father like?'' Dusk asked.
''He was the most hard-working and stubborn sandwing i have ever met. He couldn't wait to finally meet his son. He was crushed when i told him that we had to send you away. I would not let you be raised on a volcanic island that one of the younger prophets had found. Your father agreed to send you away when he heard about this. He was not having any of it. You were not going to be raised on a volcano.'' Said Brightstar.
''Hope i can meet him someday.'' Said Dusk as he hugged his mother.
''You will son you will.'' Said Brightstar as she returned the hug. ''It looks like it's time for you to go now.''
''Will i see you again?'' Asked Dusk.
Brightstar nodded. ''You will, but not before the war is over. And good luck with Sunny son.''
''Mom!'' Said Dusk annoyed.
Brightstar just laughed.
Dusk had now woken up again.
Sunny was the first one to wake up. She stretched like normally and looked around to see Glory gone. She got worried now. Had Glory gone out herself to look after the rainwings? Or maybe she gave Blaze a visit? Who knows. She woke up the others and informed them about Glory.
''She and jambu is probably in the ice kingdom somewhere to get Blaze out so we can meet her.'' Said Clay.
''That is a possibility.'' Said Starflight.
They then saw three dragons flying towards them. They spotted Princess Blaze, Glory and Jambu. Glory and Jambu were disguised as icewings. Sunny mentally facepalmed for thinking Glory went after the missing rainwings. Of course, she brought Blaze.
They all landed and Blaze looked excited.
''Oh, wow, it is so, so, so exciting to meet you, where is the skywing?'' Said Blaze.
''The skywing egg never made it. So i am the replacement.'' Said Glory switching back to her normal colors. Jambu did the same.
''ooooh colorful scales. So you are a rainwing? You look so beautiful.'' Said Blaze almost like she had glitter for eyes. ''Oh do you think the changing camouflage still works if i have someone make, you know a coat of rainwing scales?''
''Eh no.'' Said jambu.
''We need help with something actually.'' Said Sunny making her way to Blaze.
''Oh and what is that?'' Asked Blaze.
''What is the cure for sandwing venom?'' Asked Sunny.
''Oh the cactus juice from the brightsting cactus is used as a cure.'' Said Blaze not caring if that was supposed to be a sandwing secret. ''Oh can you dragonets kill my sisters for me? That would be so nice of you.''
''Sorry but no.'' Said tsunami.
A Nightwing popped out of nowhere and threw two silver discs towards Blaze who just ducked in time. The discs hit the ice behind them. Glory then attacks him and uses one of his weapons against him.
''I surrender, i surrender.'' Said the Nightwing.
''Who are you?'' Tsunami asked.
''The name is Deathbringer. Nightwing assassin.'' Said Deathbringer.
Sunny heard wings flapping. ''Icewings. We gotta go.'' Said Sunny to blaze.
''It was nice meeting you.'' Said Blaze happily.
The dragonets then fled back towards the desert.
They got there after an hour or two since it wasn't that far. Sunny went straight for a cactus and tried to break off an arm for Webs. She had trouble doing it and the others thought it looked a little funny.
''Sunny, you look like you are trying to tango with the cactus.'' Said Glory with a laugh.
Sunny just had to laugh with them since it was funny. Clay went to the cactus and got the cactus arm for her.
They were now heading towards the rainforest again.
Dusk woke up to a very happy Sunny. He blinked a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming anymore. ''Sunny? You are back already?''
''Back already? I have been here for two days. Shimmer said you have been sleeping for three days.'' Said Sunny.
''Three days!? What the.'' Shouted Dusk and then realized he still was in the healer's hut he mouthed a sorry.
''Glory was captured by the nightwings, but she escaped with Kinkajou. One of the missing rainwings. She also challenged the current queen for the throne.'' Said Sunny. ''We also got the cure for the sandwing venom, for webs.''
''That is great Sunny.'' He said deep in thought.
''Is something wrong?'' Asked Sunny.
''No, i am just thinking.'' Dusk said.
''About?'' Sunny now curious instead of worried.
''About a dream i had. Or more like a visit actually.'' Said Dusk.
Sunny gasped. ''Maybe you were visited by someone with a dream visitor.''
''I don't think so. I was visited by that female voice i talked about in the sky kingdom. I now know who she is.'' Said Dusk.
''Who is she?'' Asked Sunny.
''My mother.'' Said Dusk.
Yeah sorry for not posting anything in a week now or two i don't know. I have been really busy with work and life and have hardly had any time to write what so ever. Anyways i wanted to answers a review and talk about some stuff.
MYTHICBOY commented that it was weird how Starflight isn't jealous of Dusk and Sunny. I have an explanation of this. This fanfic takes place in an alternate dimension of Pyrrhia where Starflight never had a crush on Sunny to begin with. He is going to end up with Fatespeaker anyways. We all know that. Anyways that is also one of the explanations why some events turn out different. That and the fact that i want to be a little creative instead of copy and paste right from the books.
I also got a few reviews saying that this story is great and i am very grateful for that. Thank you. I mostly don't think of myself as a great writer at all. I think of myself as an average writer maybe. Anyways i love what i am doing so thanks for those nice comments it lifts up my spirit.
Also, i wanted to share a scraped idea. I had originally intended for Dusk to be kidnapped together with Starflight. But i scraped the idea since Dusk was hurt and is in the healer's hut when Starflight gets kidnapped.
