Hewoo. Id like to say sorry for not uploading for more than a month but again i need to study a lot.Heres a chapter for those who have been patient. Enjoy :)

The next day

I wake up,still at the makeshift nest where my friends have established themselves over the time i was gone.

I glance beside me and realize that Star and the hatchlings are still sleeping.Even Sparkle and Nova!

I decide to get up and see whats really outside the cave. I haven't had a chance to explore this part of the territory,since we mainly dlept at the top of the Ruined Pinnacle.

I take a few stealthy steps,well as stealthy as you can be as a giant dragon, and slowly approach the exit.As i exit the cave, in front of me Voron randomly appears.

"Well,good morning."i whisper.

"Where do you think you're going? Leaving again ? "

"Um...?"That was unexpected.Ive only just arrived yesterday

"Don't worry, i was just messing with you."

"Ok.."i say relieved.

"But seriously though,where are you going brother?"

"Well i wanted to explore the turf.I haven't had a chance to do so since i arrived with Zukeri and the hatchlings."

Hearing that he sat beside me.

"Ok.Please don't get into more trouble. Star will kill me if so."

"Heh.I can only imagine what she was like while i was gone."

"Oh you don't even want to know."

"Anyway, im going see you in a bit."

"Okay,see you."

Then i began strolling into the forest nearby. It was full of endemic life. Like any forest should be. As i was walking through the foliage i couldn't help but wonder what monsters live in this part of our territory?

Suddenly some leafs rustle. I turn my head to see a faint grayish-blue blur dissapearing through the leafs.

This can only mean one thing.

Im being hunted by a-

I dont even get to finish my thought as a Cat-like monster jumps through the leafs and tries to slash at me.

But as it was merely centimeters in front of me,i manage to catch it's wing in my mouth and throw it to the ground.

"What do we have here?"i ask a little angered.

"Rrrr..."the Nargaciga retorted.

"Dont'cha know how to talk?"

After that it quickly shook its tail,flying spikes at my face .

Luckily i managed to block them with my sharp wings. Then i noticed something.This Narga wasn't normal. It had an odd dark glow all on its body.

The glow was alike the one of a frenzied monster. Maybe there was another Gore or Shagaru Magala nearby?

Anyway i quickly put it out of its misery severing the jugular. After that i practically left the corpse there. The scavangers have to eat too you know! Plus,im not even hungry. That was a very fast battle so i did not get any hunger from it.

But i did want to gind out about the frenzied Narga,so i would have to ask Sun about it later.

I continued my stroll calmly,inspecting my surroundings,i don't want to get ambushed again now do i?

Nothing major happened on the rest of the walk so i decided to turn back.

To my surprise a herd of Aptonoth was passing by and i thought i should get some breakfast. I swiftly killed five of them and managed to drag them to the mouth of the cave.

Then i slowly but surely made my way to Star who was still asleeo with the kiddos.

I nuzzled her to wake up.

"Hey...Star...wakey-wakey."

"Z...Zenix?Good morning.."she said nuzzling me.

"Have you slept good?"

"Yeah,you?"

"Yeah. Are you hungry? Ive brought sime Aptonoths."

"Well i am but,i don't want to wake the hatchlings up. "she said looking at them.

I then dragged a carcass to her to eat.

"Now you can eat."i said ripping the meat apart.

"Thanks."

"You are very much welcome."

After that i woke up the rest of the dragons and offered them the food.

Purplescale/Voron POV*

After the talk with Xen i quickly got back to Clearskin to see how she's doing.

"Hey... Cleo..."

"Good morning..."

"How are Chamia and Cameron doing?"

"Still sleeping. They're so cute...Welp now i know how my mom felt when i hatched.."

"And you're still cute."i said licking her.

"Aw thanks. You are as sweet as ever."she said returning the favour.

"I think im going to see what Zenix's up to."

Just as i said that he came in the cave with five Aptonoths.

"Well that solves it i guess."

She chuckled.

*Zenix/ Xen POV*

"Sun? I need to talk to you for a second."

After awhile the Shagaru came to me as requested.

"Yes Zenix?"

"I need to show you something."

After Sun left Shy and Echlipse at the cave i showed him the dead Nargacuga.

"Does this seem like the work of a Magala to you?"

Sun frowned.He thaught a little then turned to me and said:

"N-no. Its not a Magala. Ive never seen this kind of thing before"

"I don't even know why it attacked me. Aren't they supposed to run away from us?"

"Yeah.Perhaps ot was being controlled."

"I don't know."

"Lets leave it for now. I am getting a bad vibe from it."

"Yeah.Lets get back at the cave we still need to eat."

"Yeah"

We said as we both walked off.
