Chinook flew alongside Ariel and Frieda across the river that was below them noticed them two long cliffs ahead.

"It's the stone grip. Isn't it Frieda?" he turned to Frida, nurturing high hopes. Frida gives him a smile and he smiles back.

"Who hoho alright!" He couldn't help but accelerate to see his father and rushed through the crack inside

"Dad!" he cried happily, but his excitement subsided when he noticed that the cave was ... empty? but he flew around to make sure there was no one in the vain hope that not all of them had gone but he couldn't find any. Disappointed and worried Chinook looked at the area one last time sighing heavily and flew out of the crack and landed on a rock.

he looked up at the other Silverwings who expected him to say something good.

"Th-there gone," Chinook said in a bitter tone.

"What?" Ariel was breathing and everyone has a confused look on their faces.

Chinook looks sadly out of the fortress. "The males, they are all ... gone." She felt everyone start muttering to each other in their worried tone as Chinook caught a glimpse of Frieda with a grim expression on her face as Beathsheba stares at her with an angry expression on her face.

Frisk Pov

I woke up before my friends and jokingly thought of making them wake up like last time, with a sneaky smile I approached ready to clap my hands when

"don't think about it" Marina said with her eyes closed

"how did you know what I was doing?"

Marina opened her eyes and said "instinct and besides I heard you coming" I smiled at her answer

"I guess I'll have to be quieter next time uh uh" but we were interrupted when we heard Shade moan and fidget in his sleep

"no .. .no! please no! "Shade was having a nightmare, Marina suddenly approached him and shook him as hard as she could

" Shade wake up ! " the boy opened his eyes wide in shock, then shook his head returning to himself "Shade are you okay?" Marina asked

"yes"

"what happened, what were you dreaming about?" Shade lowered his eyes and said

"we had arrived at Himbernaculus, but they were all dead, I saw my mother Frida, Mercury and Chinook on the ground with an expression of terror, at first we thought it was Brutus but it was not his doing, the owls were dead too and on their bodies there were holes where the heart was supposed to be, and then I heard a voice say "Hola" I saw Goth and Throbb above us came down on us and they ... "

I could see the terror in Shade's eyes, but I walked up to him and hugged him "no Shade it was just a nightmare nothing more, remember Goth is dead and Throbb, well if he's not dead he'll be wandering around looking for a way back at home "

Shade sighed and then with a smile he said" you're right and that dream was seemed so real "

" hey I know what it means to dream like this, remember Chara Vampyrus "

he smiled and said

" it's true "

Marina came up and said" but now there is no time to waste we have to get back on the road, Shade against where we need to go "

Shade closed his eyes and started issuing the sonar map" I see, the countryside and a wolf and a tree where the tip looks like an arrow, is near the peak of the hawk "Shade opened his eyes wide and then looked at us a moment "

" do you think they are near this arrowhead tree? "

" Probably "replied Shade, the thought for a moment ... a wolf ... and since when is a wolf a point of reference?

Sun Pov.

Brutus had arranged a new meeting to discuss the situation of the last few days, uh apparently the news is flying in the forest, in fact he has heard that Ursa and I have helped Frisk, Shade and Marina and for this they have put us under indictment, but neither of us was afraid to speak up and say what we had to say.

We arrived with a group of animals in our wake. I turned to an area and saw my brother with the pack, obviously they wouldn't miss a meeting, then I saw the two rat kings and other animals.

Brutus was on a rock and beside him there was a young owl with red hair, surely his son Orestes, followed by Haron and his daughter who covered his shoulders

Brutus was there waiting for us his expression was dark and gloomy and once he saw us coming he voted towards us and said with a furious air

"greetings Generate Brutus" Ursa said edically, but Brutus said immediately without mincing words "I guess you know why I insisted that you introduce yourselves "

" it would have been difficult not to understand it, rumors fly in the forest the gossip is no less "I answered" it seems like a joke, you two have knowingly helped the criminals despite the order to catch them "Ursa inquired and said" those boys are not criminals and neither are the colony "

"what you are saying is acceptable is treason!"

"treasonl! treason of what? you accused the silverwings with no concrete evidence of what they were" I said growling

Brutus, however, made ears deaf to my words and turned to Ursa and said

"and what are you declaring, bear?" Brutus asked.

"The silverwings are innocent of the allegations," Ursa said.

"Seriously and tell me how they are How are they?" He asked calmly.

but I said "Oh sure, as if you care how they are."

"Well," Ursa "Shade assures me that giant carnivorous bats are ..."

"Are they responsible for this war?" Brutus beat her.

"Yes ..." Ursa's voice was full of confusion. How the hell did he know? "A-and wolves eat more than their share."

The animals that were with us chatted in agreement with her.

"I see," the owl leaned back, closing his eyes.

"I can assure you this war has nothing to do with giant meat-eating bats and everything to do with those silverwings assassins Shade and Frisk and the Brithwings Marina with their colony!"

but at that moment my brother chuckled and said

"you mean the human Frisk" everyone was in shock at my brothers' words but I was just scared

"what do you mean Luger"

my brother came forward "I know it may seem impossible but everyone the members of my pack saw that human girl in miniature with Shade and Marina, but that bat girl was not there, but a female saw that human girl transform into a bat in front of her eyes and as if that weren't enough she has it. attacked "everyone was in shock, Orestes watched Eda wondering if it was true or not? ,

but Haron had only an expression of anger I fly to Brutus and said "I confirm his story"

"why did you see Haron too?"

"not really but long ago I found a human in miniature, and then I met that girl Frisk, but that girl did not convince me because that girl had something that did not convince me "

Brutus looked at his faithful soldier, he believed in him and knew that he could never invent such stories, if they were not true

" Frisk is not a person dangerous, she would never hurt someone for no reason, that female was about to attack a defenseless puppy "Ursa said defending her, the animals hearing this began to argue among themselves

"Quite!" Brutus shouted silencing the crowd, Brutus at that point lost his patience.

"I will never hear of it again. Human or not, that parasite is currently a bat a bat that has committed many crimes, looked at the sun, attacked one of my soldiers and ... "He turned his head away from Ursa and muttered" this ... .I was told to expect such lies from you "

" and we want to talk about the rest, the wolves weren't honest they wanted to kill an innocent bear cub and you would accept this just for your crazy ambition to enforce the law? "Ursa asked furiously, I stood there watching, but Brutus said

" I guess you all agree on this? "we nodded and with us some animals too

"very well, Therefore, in accordance with the statutes of the great treaty, I banish you to the eastern valley for high treason", declared Brutus, staring at Ursa and me

I was speechless how he could do it

"You can't do it! You're not the king of this forest!" I retorted

"instead yes", replied Artemis "as a loose general of King Boreal, his status allows him to issue decrees in the absence of the king's authority"

I petrify how he could do this and everyone is fine, this is abuse of power.

Ursa rose angrily on her hind legs, "a true leader would do anything to avoid war, not create it. Nothing good can come of it, Brutus. "

Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Ursa turned and walked away with the animals following her closely.

I was about to go but "General Brutus if you allow me there is no need to banish the young wolf, if you allow me I can take care of punishing her and making her understand the lesson" said Luger to convince Brutus not to send me away, but I

"no , I accept my exile, I don't want to live under a tyrant who abuses his authority "said that I ran away, but I could feel Luger's gaze staring at me, but I didn't care I made my choice and I don't regret

After the meeting Eda and Orestes flew towards the Towers of fire and as they flew they were discussing what happened

"Can you believe it? Frisk a human" said Orestes

"I know it's unbelievable, but what does it matter, does something that is human change to you? "

" no of course nothing changes and I still don't understand how a human can turn into a bat "

" we'll ask her when we meet her again with the rest of the group "said Eda curious about Orestes to know

" but now we have to find the body of Goth and bring it to my father or here it ends badly "" already when we talked about it with Brutus we were scared that he put us in prison for telling "lies"

"but this time he will have to believe it because we will bring him proof that we are telling the truth" Orestes said confidently

"uh you took command of the situation, you look like a real general right now" said Eda, Orestes blushed and said "seriously .. here .. I don't know"

but then Eda said "uh you're blushing, you mol This way to go and anyway, I will become a general one day and I will be the greatest warrior in history and even King Boreal will recognize my merits "

said that Eda flew in front of Orestes" hey! "he exclaimed flying to find her.

Once they arrived they landed them in the ditch, but in they did not find the corpse of Goth but a dead crow with a bewildered body, the two young owls widened their eyes in horror

"where is it!?" Eda exclaimed looking compulsively in the area, but unsuccessfully the body was not there

"how is it possible, a corpse cannot get up and walk" said Orestes in shock, then approached the body to see where it was decomposed, checked the heat and the watering and the smell "died about two days ago"

Eda was in shock "two days ago! you mean shortly after we parted ways with Shade, Frisk and Marina"

"I'm afraid yes, that can only mean one thing" Orestes swallowed saliva and said

"Goth is alive"

Eda opened her eyes wide and said "then the boys and the colony are still in danger" the two owls looked at each other with fear because they knew it was true and they had to do something, but what!

Frisk Pov

we had stopped to rest on a tree where some berries grew like the ones that Zephyr used to relieve the pain of the band, Marina actually took one of the berries and squeezed it making the juice pour on the band "aaah oh yes Zephyr is right these berries work wonders with the band "

"already it is not only good also as a pomanta against cramps in the arms" I said, parmandomi a juice on the shoulders by dint of flying began to hurt me.

In the meantime, Shade found a red leaf like the ones that Zephyr used as an anesthetic and he approached it to his mouth

"Shade!" Marina said flying towards him "you haven't forgotten what Zephyr said about that leaf"

"oh I don't think .. I .. good night everyone "he said before falling on the branch unconscious" Shade! "Marina approached him and shook him

" Wake up Shade! "

but I noticed something that Shade had reopened one eye as if to see if we had fallen for his joke "uh my friend, you have to work harder" I thought closer to him

"don't worry Marina I know what to do in ... oh owls ! " I yelled,

Shade opened his eyes wide and stood up

"what! where!?" he said getting up in flight, both Marina and I laughed at his reaction "it wasn't funny!" Shade said

"that's what you deserve for making us scare this way"

"oh realy let's see how this reacts"

he said flying off me to get me, but I dodged him and at that point we started playing catch in the trees, I was having fun when at a certain point I bumped into a tree and slowly landed on a branch, Shade stopped and helped me get up "are you okay?" she asked "just a little scratch but nothing more" I said laughing at the fact that I had crashed into a tree like in the cartoons, Marina came up to us and said "guys we have to stay focused" "sorry" Shade replied, all three took the I walk our way.

Shortly after we finally arrived at the tree that looked like an arrowhead "it's the tree finally we have it reached" Shade said smiling "are you ready to meet my colony Marina ? " she smiling said "I can't wait"

we approached the tree and we stopped there

"well guys in a while the sun will appear it will be better to stop here for the day" I suggered "yes good idea and then the colony will not be very far we can rest without problems" answered Shade.

We found a hole in the tree big enough for all three of us, we camped there Shade and Marina decided to take advantage of it to go hunting while I stayed in the hole and in the meantime I observed the zonna looking out of the hole it was at that moment that you felt I had to ... my business "nature calls" I said to myself I left the hole in the tree and headed towards the forest.

Once i was all over I walked over to a branch and started thinking about

"who knows if Chara is in this area" but I knew there wasn't enough time to scour it all, uh but maybe there was a way to do it

I closed my eyes and concentrated on the sonar map to try to get me a vision

at that moment you start from where I was the last time,

I saw the city, the bell tower,

then the countryside and the Towers of Fire but still nothing,

so I went on and in doing so my head started to hurt a lot the images became blurred and changed from tree to arrow to sleep and then I Throbb holding Marina locked in his arms, but where was Shade?

then the vision changed and I saw Shade being supported by a hand holding him by the neck, but what ... the vision moved and I saw him the bat holding him by the neck was ... Goth!

I opened my eyes wide in fear "Goth! no it can't be he is .. dead ... he can't be" but the visions were never wrong ... but then.

I wasted no time and flew as fast as I could towards the tree I entered the hole "Shade! Marina! We have to get out of here immediately" but the hole was empty there was no trace of my friends

"oh no! They must still be out", in a panic I ran outside and started calling them "Shade! Marina!" but I got no answer

"I have to find them we have to leave before it's too late" I said to myself

"I'm afraid it's already too much senorita" said a persuasive voice in a Fluid Spanish accent familiar to me, slowly and with an expression of panic I turned and saw the two giants on two branches above me, as in my vision Throbb had Marina in his arms while he covered her mouth with his hand and then on the right branch I saw to my horror I saw Shade being held by the neck by Goth

"you!" I said with a shocked expression in the eyes

"Hola senorita Serena" said smiling Goth.

I was paralyzed for a moment and then I heard Shade yell

"Frisk fly away!"

I looked at him and said "what Shade no! I don't abandon you!"

"trust me they can't hurt us!" but in that moment Goth smiling said

"if I were you don't" he began to tighten his grip on Shade's neck making him moan "unless you want to see how I break your little brother's neck" hear Shade moan in pure pain

"Shade!" I was about to jump into Goth to stop him but Shade yelled

"don't get near Frisk! that's what he wants, he'll catch you if you get close!"

"no, everything will be fine"

I didn't know what to do "Go !" Shade scream, I turned to Marina and she motioned me to go

"don't worry I'll be back!" I said before flying up and walking away from them.

Third Person Pov

Goth was silent as he watched Frisk move away towards the immensity of the forest, his green eyes lit with irritation he turned to Shade and said

"do you really think this is enough? Do you really think you managed to save her? things even more difficult ... Throbb come here "he call his brother-in-law, he obeys and approaches with Marina, Goth throws Shade into Throbb's arms and the latter blocks him with Marina

" hold them, I'm going to take back the fugitive seniority "

Shade in panic scream" leave her impatient! She has nothing to do with you! You just need me for the sonar map, leave her "

but he chuckles and said" not exactly Shade, let's say I have some sort of plan for her and that's why I didn't let her go. "

Shade's eyes widened what she meant by that.

Frisk Pov

my heart was racing in my chest my vision was clouded with fear, what can I do, and what will happen to my friends, my head was empty what was i to do and where am i going? I couldn't think of a plan I had no ideas.

at that moment a shadow covers me entirely, I don't want much to understand who he was, I immediately flew as fast as I could but it was initile because he was always behind me, at that point he understood that the only way to sow him was to hide, I turned right and then I turned left hiding in the pangs of a tree, I saw Goth pass me dodging me but then stopped seven meters away from me

"my God, ... please go on ... go on"

I thought as I clutched the branch on which i was supporting myself.

But Goth didn't start sniffing the air and turned to where I was, I hid in the middle of the papers and watched him slowly approach

"I know if here senorita, I can smell you" his voice was fluid and quiet as that of a murderer who approaches his victim, if we were in a movie now he would have come out of nowhere and he would have killed me, but luckily for me he was still about to identify me

"you must not be afraid of me senorita"

oh sure I don't have to be afraid, I'm just being chased by a despicable cannibal who has risen from death, nothing to be afraid of in practice.

"maybe I was a bit abrupt the last time we saw each other but I assure you I was not going to scare you or hurt you" his voice got closer and closer I could hear his breath on my neck even though I knew it was just mine fear that was playing tricks on me but the fear increases when you feel that Goth was on top of me on the branch above mine, I had to think of something "listen let's make things easier now get out of your hiding place so we can reach a fair compromise" right .. I'm kidding I know, but at that moment an idea flashed in my mind I closed my eyes and concentrated

Third Person Pov

"I'm behind you!" Goth turned and saw Frisk behind him staring intently

"I knew you would be very reasonable"

"not exactly, I just wanted to tell you one thing .. I don't need your compromise hombre and I don't think so to your lies ... if you want me then, you'll have to put in a little more effort! "said this Frisk flew away, while Goth chased her he wouldn't let her escape.

But he didn't imagine he had already done that, because the real Frisk had never left his branch, what Goth was following was just an echo projection, Frisk stood up and saw how Goth followed his copy in the distance

"uh this lo land occupied for a while, now we think of the boys "the girl fly to the arrowhead shaped tree.

In the meantime Throbb was guarding Shade and Marina who were worried about their friend, but and when they heard the sound of wings approaching the fear increased but something unexpected happened, Frisk with his legs hit Throbb in the back making him slip. from the branch, the fattest vampire taken aback let go of the two and spread his wings to regain his balance and landed on another branch where he saw Frisk with the boys the shock surprised him

"you but how .. where is Goth ! " asked with an angry air the girl smiled and said

"let's say he's chasing a me that isn't me" the boys understood what it meant but Throbb was confused he didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't think much about it he had to prevent the three from escaping or from sure Goth will kill him for not having stopped them, but unlike Goth,

Throbb was not particularly skilled or cunning in fact for the boys it takes very little to confuse him, he just has to fly around the tree and then zigzag between the branches and this led him to crash into various branches until he fell stunned to the ground, the boys smiled and laughed at this,

Frisk approached him and said "this game we win we mi amigo" she said with a gaudy victorious smile, but the girl did not expect that his confidence was about to give up for good "Frisk look out !" Shade scream,

but it was too late, Frisk was captured by muscular arms that kept her locked in a strong and tight hug with the intention of preventing her from running away she turned her face and saw Goth with a tired and angry look "I got you" he said "smart move I don't know how you managed to disappear into thin air but in the end it ended as I wanted and that is, I win"

Throbb took a few moments after shaking his head

"you're finally recovered, take those two and let's go" said Goth ordering his brother-in-law, the vampirus nodded and did it grabbed both bats and went to another area.

Frisk Pov.

They took us to an area of the forest they placed us on a branch of a tree and then they moved to the branch of another branch, but I only had one thought in mind

"how did you find us !?"

Goth smiled at me and said

"oh seniorita we never could have done this if it wasn't for you" at that moment he pulled out of his fur the flower I had picked up and given to Goth when he was dead, oh at least when I thought he was dead

"on the stem of this adorable flower there were traces of your blood senorita, thank you for the help you gave me"

my eyes widened it was true when I detached the flower I was stung with thorns and drops of blood they fell on it, that meant they found us .. my fault, you feel how my stomach was turning inside and my head was empty, I felt just awful about it.

While Goth and Throbb were talking to each other I turned to my friends and said "guys I'm sorry"

"but what does it mean that you gave him that flower?" Marina asked, at that point I told the truth and in the end I said "sorry guys I had no idea that him" but Shade interrupts me and said "Frisk you couldn't know, we all thought he was dead"

"Shade is right it's not the fault yours, "Marina continued in an attempt to make me feel better

"Goth, I'm freezing!" We hear Throbb complain. We watch all the giant bats while the chubby one was shaking uncontrollably like a chick

"I want to go back to the jungle," he said.

"I miss the hot sun, the hunt and all my servants waiting with my claws and wings ..." He stops and growls at us. "I saw we eat them now!" I gasped with fear to see that he would attack us for his greed but instead.

"Patience Throbb," Goth stops him, still smiling.

"Three little bats are not served as a buffet. However," he turns to us.

"Spending the winter dining with Silverwings will hold us back until we return to our warm jungle."

I swallowed silently as I watched Shade scared to death when he mentions feasting on the colony, I knew he was afraid because of his dream. Suddenly Goth leaps from his branch and landed in front of us. Without hesitation he grabbed Shade and pulled him up to where he was and spoke softly.

"Where is your colony, tell me!" he squeezed his shoulder tight as Shade shivered under his grip. He often looks around for something to lie about. About a second later it points its claw in the opposite direction, trembling.

Goth mutters and looks in the direction, and then replies

"You're pointing the opposite direction to where you flew." Pushes it back against a tree stump where we are.

"We, uh, we-we're about to change direction when you caught us," Shade said.

I saw the giant bat as it bared its teeth.

"You're lying!" Goth growled, raising his claws.

I almost jumped when it hit next to him.

Shade begins to panic as he slowly tracked down his claw, leaving a scratch behind. "No, I swear!" Then Goth stops and looks at us for a second, and then starts laughing. And he laughed so hard it's like we just made a funny joke. All three of us look confused.

"What's so funny?" I asked nervously.

Goth calms his laugh and uses his claw to wipe away her tears. "It is so ... such a fever contentment deceives señorita." He manages to pull it out and laughs more. Do you think it's funny? I raise my eyebrows for his strange humor, a sick homurism.

He soon calms down and looks at Shade.

"Ah, you know, for being so small ..." he snaps his lips. "Bat, you caused me morchas problamas ..." Suddenly we all hear something slimy and shrill near us. Goth looks where he was and smiled. Suddenly he grabs it quickly making scream in alarm. I breathed and saw that he had a worm in his hands.

I gasped when he took the worm in his mouth and eats it, sucking it like spachetti. He sniffed before speaking more.

"But no more, never again I underestimate you Shade silverwing", he approached us but was looking at Shade as he spoke, making him nervous. But then he pulls away.

"Since you pointed your colony in the opposite direction o, you must know that I think you are lying."

I just opened my eyes wide at his words and Shade raises his eyebrows in confusion but Goth keeps talking.

"You have to hope i doesn't believe you and fly in the opposite direction, right?"

"Huh?" That's all Shade can say Goth and he finished with a smile on his face.

"I'll call you bluff, we'll fly in the opposite direction, in the opposite direction si ?" It has claws that are pointing at each other after they are done.

All three of us look at each other after what just happened. I clearly did not understand what he was saying "then there are two cases or the electric discharges have fried his brain or that worm he ate had gone bad" I thought

"Y-yeah, that's what I've been saying the whole time we're going to go the other way around. You're right." He tries to smile,

then we hear Throbb say.

"But what if you're wrong, Goth?"

The giant bat turns to each of us and smiles maliciously.

"Then you'll eat Brighwing, Throbb should change his mind." His partner also smiles and licks his lips with hunger and we all shiver a little.

"So amigos? Can we get a move on?" Goth asked, still with that cruel smile. Shade nodded and then flew off to follow Marina and I too.

But as I flew I turned around and realized that Goth was staring at me as he flew with Throbb behind us, looking at me as he did before when we first met

We flew for several hours and every time I turned I could see how Goth's expression got more and more irritated, and in that moment Shade starts talking to us in a low voice.

"If I can keep bluffing with Goth I can buy him more time."

"You are crazy?" Marina hissed.

"you are right so far we have been lucky because Goth had this crazy idea of the direction or placed in the opposite direction of the direction .. oh well what it is"

""Exactly! This is the point. If he keeps thinking we're telling the truth, he'll save my colony. "Shade smiles, keeping his voice low." Now I get it completely ... "

Suddenly, before he could finish, we heard how Goth grabbed me and Shade from the shoulders, I gasped as he dragged me and Shade and Throbb dragged Marina

They pushed us down and took us to a nearby cliff where a cave was opened. Goth cast Shade and me before Throbb instead cast Marina

"We wasted too much time flying around!" Goth snapped. He had perched at the mouth of the cave and turned to his brother-in-law. "Throbb eats the Brighwing." The chubby vampyum smiles hungrily and charged and grabs Marina before Shade can save her.

"No!" He screamed. Throbb took her away a little so we wouldn't understand.

"Shade!" She screamed.

"Marina!" I try to get up and run against Throbb but Goth's hand blocks my way and pulls me back and ends up on Shade.

"Where is your colony ?!" He asked, towering over us. Shade and I haven't spoken, and we watch in horror as Throbb opens his mouth, preparing to chew on Marina's head at any moment. I panic and try to find the right words. but at that moment Shade said

"Good! Go ahead and eat it!"

" thing !?" Marina and I said surprised

but Goth was even more surprised of all

Huh? "Throbb pushes Marina away a little in shock. Shade just shrugged, acting like he didn't care.

"See if I care."

"but what .. what are you saying?" I said in shock

"oh and since you're there, eat Frisk too, I don't care"

"wait what!" I screamed, I can't believe what I heard,

Throbb smiled and turned to me hungry, before I could say anything he grabbed my arm and pulled me next to Marina.

She and I gasped when he opened his mouth ready to attack us, I closed my eyes preparing for the blow.

Before the chubby vampyum gets a chance, Goth picks up a nearby stick and puts it in his brother-in-law's mouth, to stop him from eating.

he lets Marina and me in and grabs his throat as if the stick is choking him. Marina quickly crawls to me and holds me in a hug. I hug her tightly and feel her shaking against me to be "oh my God, we're almost eaten" I thought in shock.

"You're up to something muchaco ." Goth chuckles darkly.

Shade shook his head looking all serious.

"No, go ahead! I mean, what's the difference that you're all going to eat us anyway?"

he swallowed feeling my stomach sick from dying here, letting Marina go.

"Ah!" Goth's eyes light up and he smiles, making Shade wince.

"So you'd rather be eaten now, so you can save your colony unless, of course," he strokes his beard still smiling. "You're thinking there is something for you." I had no idea what Goth was talking about, but Shade nodded and smiled in response.

"Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking." Goth spread his wing like he was making a big announcement.

"A bat that betrays its entire colony to save its own skin!" He laughs, "I think the spirits of Zotz are alive in this Throbb."

It uses its claw to stroke Shade's cheek causing Shade to wince a little. But at that moment I realized that Shade was just bluffing when he said

"that's exactly what I was thinking" I sensed he lied,

"but gee he almost got me eaten by the fat man, I almost had a heart attack for his bluff to me and Marina "I thought, snorting.

Throbb gets up with the cane still in his mouth and Goth clears his throat.

"What exactly do you want?" He asked smiling.

"II want." Shade starts, thinking.

"Yes?"

"I want you to take us all to your jungle, and all three of us live as royalty."

"no Shade I don't want to be a royaltyl" Goth stared at me and said smiling

"what do you want to be seniorita then?"

I look at him and answer bitterly

"nothing, I just want to be close to my friends, but I don't want to deal with other royalty bats like you and Throbb"

my answer seemed to annoy Goth but I didn't care I didn't want to live with his royal family.

Shade turns to me with a worried air as if he fears that I might ruin his bluff but I smiled at him and said "but, however if I have to choose a role, then I choose to be their Prime Minister, a trusted figure who takes care of advising the royals on important decisions "I said as I finished my speech, Shade then replied" yes what she said, oh it's one last thing I want Throbb to become our servant "I cover my mouth to hold back my laugh, but on the contrary Goth burst out laughing comprehensively, while poor Throbb looked at the scene with despair, he did not imagine this request from Shade, "you deserve it fat man" I thought, smiling mockingly

Marina looks at us both, with a very perplexed look.

"What are you two doing?" He spoke in a low voice.

"Shh let me take care of it,"

Shade smiled and winked secretly.

Goth begins to quell his laughter.

"This is very funny, but" he looked at the three of us "I'll have to think about it."

"Well, you have until tomorrow evening to give me an answer." Shade replied.

I looked out and saw the sun almost rise.

"Is it dawn already?"i nodded sadly.

Goth looked out and smiling said "well, me in case the three of you decide to take off" Goth grabbed Shade and Marina and pushed them towards Throbb who grabbed them "you will sleep with us, Throbb will take care of you two and I will take care of this senorita" My eyes widened as Goth spoke

"no why! I want to change places I'm going, I instead of Frisk" said Shade coming out of Throbb's grip, but his reaction only made him smile and he said "que pas muchaco, you don't trust me "at that moment he understood the true meaning of that phrase Goth suspected that Shade was lying and this was a kind of proof,

immediately I did something I regret for a long time, I threw myself into Goth's arms and said

" thanks for your Shade worry, but you don't have to, seriously, I know that being my little brother you want to protect me but other males but that's okay, I'm not embarrassed to sleep with someone like him for today "I said, trying to let out one of my best smiles, at that moment I felt like throwing up for my words, before Shade could say more Throbb grabbed him by the arm and with Malina took them with him and then perched with them on top of the ceiling of the cave.

I took a deep breath and let Goth do the same to me, he wrapped me in his wings and then I lift myself to the top of the cave wall and then we found ourselves hanging upside down on the cave ceiling.

I remained silent as my face was sinking into thick Goth fur, but every so often I would turn my real Throbb gaze to make sure he was asleep and not bothering my friends, but luckily the fat man was already snoring loudly,

while he still had the pole stuck in his mouth that prevented him from closing the boy, my friends were luckily sleeping peacefully, curious, I wonder how they do with the thunder coming out of Throbb's mouth.

Then I turned my head towards Goth and unfortunately for me he was still awake "difficulty sleeping seniorita"

"it seems more than obvious, given the situation"

"are you afraid that I will eat you?...or for something else " he said as he ran his claw in my hair, I opened my eyes and replied abruptly "no! nothing you were thinking, absolutely" I said calmly "this situation just makes me nervous"

At that moment you feel Goth caressing my shoulder making me wince in silence, but strangely it was pleasant and relaxing, I could hear him saying something but I was not feeling anything anymore, closed my eyes my arms wrapped around him and I started to let go to sleep.

Dream

I found myself in a sort of cave but it was not where we were, no this was much bigger and it was behind a waterfall I was there in my human form, but I was not smaller I was in my normal stature .. no I was taller and my body was wrapped in a particular red dress with golden threads, I do not know why but I was happy, because I was not alone there was someone with me, he wrapped me in his arms in a sweet embrace, I could not see the his face but I knew him, I touched his cheekbones with my right hand while he ran his fingers through my hair, while I avivinai and kissed him on the mouth, he took me in his arms and held me close to him, I don't know what was going on but I loved him, I loved him so much, then he lifted me up and spun me making me laugh with happiness, then he put me down and said softly in a tone full of love "te amo mi amor" "y yo te amo mucho mas "I replied in fluid Spanish with a heart that it beat like never before.

then he and I spent the whole night together.

Goth Pov.

I woke up suddenly because of that idiot Throbb snoring like a thunderstorm, I turned to him with an air full of anger, if I had known he would make so much noise I would never have put that stick in his mouth, but after all if I hadn't done that, that big fat idiot would surely have attacked Frisk and I would never have let him. I didn't care if he ate Marina, but Frisk was another story.

I looked down at her and saw how she slept peacefully which reassured me a lot in this way I can rest peacefully knowing that she would not go anywhere, then I noticed something particular she was trining me and not like a simple sleeping bat , but as a female gently squeezing her mate, I could feel how she moved lightly as she dreamed that she was really beautiful while she was doing it was small and adorable, I couldn't help but smile.

But when I closed my eyes I felt something strange I felt something rough and thick around Frisk, opened my eyes and what I saw left me speechless, I saw a human bag on Frisk but it was not the only thing there it was there, I noticed that the senorita had on her back those strange leaves of the humans they wore on their bodies, by point bewildered, I sciesi from my perch I emitted the girl gently to the ground.

and when I saw her my eyes widened, in front of me was ... a human girl! it couldn't be real and for a moment I thought I was dreaming but it was too real to be just a dream .. no it wasn't a dream

I thought darkly.

my shock turned to a snarl, that silverwing has always been a human, one of those damn hairless monkeys, but how was that possible ... but then I realized things that I didn't pay much attention to before, the fact that she had attacked an owl and then the fact that she defended humans and more importantly, the fact that her character, her way of speaking, thinking and acting was absolutely unlike any other bat in the north, things that I could not understand how they were possible in a silverwing and now I understood the reason, because she was not a silverwing.

I feel stupid for having duped me like this by a human in disguise.

I could feel my hands shaking with anger at this situation,

I looked again at the girl asleep with anger .. I could get rid of her .. I could get her out now while she couldn't defend herself and then tell those two that she had escaped abandonadoli, I can already do this .

I leaned towards her and opened my jaw willing to push her throat away, but at that moment she turned her head towards me while she was asleep showing her face, at that moment it felt as if something had struck me inside I stood still looking at i as if paralyzed, but my hand went up to her and I touched her face stroking her and then my hand went down and you touched that leaf on her side and then lightly pulled her and I could see her stomach and her navel, but at that moment I stopped and suddenly walked away from her, I didn't understand what was wrong with me and why I was acting this way, why did her face have this effect on me,

"uuh" I growled to feel so confused, why was I? he was just a human! like the ones who brought me here! I got up and turned around for a moment to lower myself grabbed a rock attached to the wall and squeezed it tightly in my fist, but my mind was still still thinking about that senorita,

ninth was human I could not erase what I felt and this it made me feel worse, but then I heard Frisk moan, I turned to her, the cold was coming to an end, at that moment I decided to let go of these thoughts, it wouldn't have been useful anyway.

I took off that human bag and threw it into a corner so as to be more comfortable and then I took it and wrapped it between my wings, leaned against the wall and then closed my eyes to rest a bit.
