They snuck outside. It was a little hard to tell if they were behind or not. She saw about four NightWings, she tiptoed to the tunnel but accidentally touched a NightWing.
"Huh" he said. The NightWing was Obsidian. Ringtail didn't move and after a while Obsidian ignored it. Ringtail then walked into the tunnel
"Is anyone here" Ringtail said
"I'm here" Pineapple's voice said
"I'm here" Kinkajou's voice said. Tiger didn't answer
"Where's Tiger?" Pineapple said
"Right here" Tiger's voice said "hehehehe you thought I was gone" They went threw the tunnel and un-camouflaged and started flying
"Wow, I've never been to the kingdom of sand" Ringtail said
"I like it" Kinkajou said "It's all sand like"
"What'd you expect from a desert" Tiger said
"Hey do you guys see that?" Pineapple said
"See what?" Ringtail said
"In the distant" Pineapple said. Ringtail could see something. It was hard to describe but it looked like…a colour storm? Mix's of red and brown and orange and pale yellow and blue and white and all sorts of colours.
"What is that" Kinkajou said
"Let's get closer" Tiger said. They flew close to colours.
"I think I know what they are" Kinkajou said
"What?" Ringtail said
"I think…I think there dragons" Kinkajou said. She was right. SandWings, SkyWings, MudWings, SeaWings, NightWings, and IceWings were flying right towards them.
"Stop" a NightWing said. They all stopped. The NightWing had the most beautiful scales and handsome muscles. He had a mix of purple and black scales.
"Who are you guys" Ringtail said
"I'll handle this" said an IceWing "Wait! I know you" He said to Ringtail
"You do" Ringtail said
"You saved my life from that crazy NightWing" The IceWing said "With the sleeping dart, remember me, Snowy"
"Oh right" Ringtail said. She remembered when Shadowmind attacked Snowy and Ringtail saved him with a sleeping dart "What's going on here"
"I assume you know what's happening with Mirage" Snowy said "dragging all sorts of dragons to the SandWing stronghold, well we are the only dragons left who aren't at the stronghold. If you leave, you die"
"We're here to seek help from the RainWings and NightWings" said the NightWing "I'm Loyalty"
"I know you too" said an IceWing with odd coloured scales and a RainWing tail "I was one of the guards at the ice kingdom when you were imprisoned. I'm Tangelo, and that's my stepbrother Whitecap" he pointed to the IceWing beside him
"And the others" Whitecap said "the SkyWings are Cinder and Sky, the MudWings are Gator, Terracotta, and Bullfrog, the NightWings are Stargazer, Moonwatcher, and Secrecy, the SandWings are Fennec, Qibli, and Coyote, the SeaWing is Auklet, the IceWing SeaWing hybrid is Typhoon, the SandWing SkyWing hybrid is Sandbar, and the NightWing SandWing hybrid is Sunny"
"I remember some of you from the academy" Ringtail said
"Uhh guys where's Tiger?" Kinkajou said. Tiger was gone
"I'm here" Tiger said "And I brought the others" he came back with Sandy, Wave, Firefly, Turtle, Peacemaker, Wisdom, and Falcon
"Sky!" Falcon said
"Falcon!" Sky said. They hugged each other
"Auklet!" Wave said
"Hey Wave" Auklet said
"Mom! Dad!" Sandy said
"Hey son" Qibli said
"Sunny! Coyote!" Sandy said
"Oh hey Sandy" Sunny said
"How do you know them" Wave said
"Sunny is friends with my parents and she and Coyote are Queen Thorn's daughters" Sandy said
"Different fathers" Coyote said "King Smolder is mine and some NightWing is hers"
"If your finished, we are uniting the tribes to make a plan to rescue everyone" Tangelo said "From the SandWing stronghold prison cells, it's where they're being held. Is that all of you?"
"Some of us are being held prison on the NightWing Island" Ringtail said
"So let's make a plan to rescue them first" Cinder said
"Excellent Cinder, just like always" Whitecap said
"Oh my god! Whitecap I've told you many times I have no time for romance in my life" Cinder said
"But if you did?" Whitecap said
"Then I would be married by now" Cinder said
"So what's the plan to rescue them?" Pineapple said
"We can't just go there without a plan" Falcon said "We need to be smart"
"I have an idea" Sandy said "Maybe there's still hope for Shadowmind"
"Did one of those NightWings hit you in the head" Wisdom said
"Mother always taught me that everyone has a reason for doing bad things that they think is right" Sandy said "And Shadowmind has always been raised to follow orders, it's really not healthy"
"I'm pretty sure he's a lost cause" Wave said
"Fine, who here agrees with me" Sandy said. Everyone stood there in silence
"I do" Sunny said "Every dragon has good in them"
"I'll go with you sweetheart" Moonwatcher said
"Uh guys" Peacemaker said
"What?" Ringtail said
"I keep having these….flash's of a girl" Peacemaker said
"What girl?" Ringtail said
"A NightWing, very beautiful" Peacemaker said "Purple eyes"
"Oh no!" Kinkajou said "Um…I'm sure it's nothing" Sunny and Sandy both went in the tunnel
"Ok we need to stop being distracted" Ringtail said
"I think I have an idea to get help" Firefly said "Mother has two prisoners, we can offer them freedom in exchange for there help"
"That's smart, Firefly and I will go get them" Ringtail said
"I know" Bullfrog said "RainWings camouflage, you could fee the prisoners in stealth"
"Wow" Sky said "That's the longest word I've ever heard you say"
"Hm?" Bullfrog said
"So first we free the prisoners in the rainforest then the NightWing Island, then the SandWing stronghold. I feel like a lot of people are being imprisoned" Whitecap said
"Let's hurry" Ringtail said
"I'll come to" Peacemaker said. Ringtail camouflaged herself and they headed in the tunnel. Firefly hid behind her, and they went in the dungeon. A RainWing and a NightWing were in two separate cells. The RainWing was dark pink and purple and the NightWing wore spectacles.
"Oh hello" The NightWing said "Forgive me but it's been a while since I've seen a RainWing, I've always wondered about your venom. How long does it take for someone to die? Do you ever run out? Are you born with it or does it develop at an older age?….."
"He's annoying that way" The RainWing said "I'm Queen Magnificent, and that's Mastermind"
"My mother is queen!" Firefly said
"But before her was me!" Magnificent said "I was put in here for letting the tribe die shortly after a laid my egg"
"Your egg?" Ringtail said
"I was put in here for doing terrible things to the RainWings" Mastermind said "It wasn't my fault! It was for science! I didn't think to ask questions!"
"What egg" Ringtail said
"My egg I laid, it was given to the queen since I never wanted it anyway" Magnificent said. But Ringtail was given to the queen! Magnificent was Ringtail's mother! All her life Ringtail has always wanted to know where she came from but Magnificent left the tribe to die and she never wanted me
"Magnificent! I'm your daughter!" Ringtail said
"Really!" Magnificent said
"Well, I'm disappointed" Magnificent said "But maybe that's your fathers fault"
"My father! Is he just like you!" Ringtail said
"No, that's what I didn't like about him" Magnificent said "I was also never a fan of his scales, they look like chocolate. Odd for a RainWing"
"That sounds like Vivid" Firefly said
"Who?" Ringtail said
"Tigers venom trainer" Firefly said "We're getting sidetracked, we have a proposal for you"
"A business proposal?" Mastermind said
"Sure, if you guys are whiling to help us, we'll set you free" Firefly said
"I'm in" Mastermind said
"Fine" Magnificent said. What! How could anybody free her! Firefly released Mastermind and was about to release Magnificent when Ringtail stopped her
"No!" Ringtail said
"But Ringtail, she……" Firefly then stopped and thought to herself "Ok"
"Wait! Wait!" Magnificent said
"Do you want to take care of me!" Ringtail said
"Of course not" Magnificent said "Dragonet's are so much work"
"Then you can rot in here" Ringtail said as she left. Ringtail has never been full of so much rage. Her scales turned bright red
"You can't do this! I will be free! I have powerful friends! You have no idea what I'm capable of……!" Ringtail left before she could say anything more.
"Are you ok" Firefly said
"I'm fine sis" Ringtail said
"Did you just call me sis!" Firefly said
"I always wanted to find my real family, but now that I have I want nothing to do with them" Ringtail said
"I'm really sorry" Firefly said
"I feel like I'm adopted too" Peacemaker said
"Really?" Ringtail said
"I have no clue who my RainWing father is, my mother Hope will never tell me" Peacemaker said "And none of the NightWings know my mother"
"That's really weird" Ringtail said
"Um do we know these dragons" Mastermind said. He pointed at the NightWings standing in front of them. Obsidian and Knowledge stood in front
"Bright red scales aren't the best choice of camouflage" Knowledge said
"Take them!" Obsidian said
—————————————————————————————————————————
Ringtail was in the cages on the NightWing Island. She recognized Paradise the RainWing and Heat the SkyWing from the academy. She saw Wave's brother Tortoise, Prince Winter, some old SandWing with a lot of tattoos of skulls, and a grumpy SkyWing with a scar across his eye like Falcon's. She recognized Tangerines brother Python, Pineapple and Jambu's son. She also saw a NightWing with a blind fold. She had a bind on her mouth so she couldn't talk or use her venom. Mastermind, Peacemaker, and Firefly were there as well.
"I thought you would be a part of this Vulture" Winter said
"I was, but Mirage betrayed me" said the SandWing named Vulture "I'll show her! I'll show her!"
"Will you please stop talking!" The SkyWing said
"Shut up Flame" Heat said
"You and your girlfriend stay out of this" Flame said
"She didn't even say anything" Heat said "And she can't"
"I wonder how long we'll be here for" Mastermind said
"Dad? Is that you?" The NightWing with the blind fold said
"Starflight?" Mastermind said "Sorry son, I didn't recognize you with the blind fold"
"The volcano eruption made me blind" Starflight said
"They take us for arena fights" Tortoise said
"How perceptive SeaWing" said a NightWing that walked in "We'll take the pale green RainWing and the dark green one" he pointed at Ringtail and Python. He grabbed there chains and took them outside the cave. Suddenly the NightWing got hit with something and fell to the ground dragging Ringtail and Pyth with her. Suddenly two dragons grabbed them and freed them. It was Sunny and Moonwatcher.
"Hey guys" Sunny said
"Where's Sandy" Ringtail said
"We thought he was here" Moonwatcher said
"Shadowmind!" Ringtail said "We need to get out of here"
"Put what about the others" Python said
"We'll help them eventually" Ringtail said "We need the help of more RainWings"
"Let's head back" Sunny said. They flew into the tunnel to the rainforest and headed to the other tunnel to the Kingdom of Sand but he saw Shadowmind and Sandy talking
"Shh" Python said "We can watch them"
"Shadowmind a believe in you" Sandy said
"Well that's sad" Shadowmind said
"You don't have to always do what your parents say" Sandy said
"Your just saying that so I will help you" Shadowmind said
"I am, but also because I believe in you….." Sandy said
"Stop! Just stop!" Shadowmind said "It's annoying that you have so much faith in me! If you think we're friends! Do you actually think we're friends! Well I got news for you! You filthy half bread! We are not friends! We'll never be friends! I don't have any friends and why would I want friends, friends are all disgusting with all there feelings. And if I needed friends it certainly wouldn't be you"
"I…l" Sandy said. He started crying and Shadowmind started laughing
"Ha ha ha!" Shadowmind said "Look at this baby, he's like a one year old dragonet"
"You want to know why I have so much faith in you?" Sandy said "It's because when you first stepped into the academy I had visions! Visions of us! Our future together! I saw us adopting a little HiveWing from Pantala! I saw us living in Possibility together! I saw us having a life together! I saw us liking each other! I liked you! I loved you! But I guess that was all a waste of time"
"That is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard" Shadowmind said. He flew away laughing. Sandy turned around and saw Ringtail, Python, Moonwatcher, and Sunny.
"I…uh" Sandy said
"Sandy" Moonwatcher said "Come here" They hugged each other
"How much of that did you here?" Sandy said
"Enough, Sandy are you ok" Sunny said
"Of course not" Sandy said "He broke my heart"
"Why didn't you tell us" Ringtail said
"How could I, with all the awful things he's done to us" Sandy said
"You know Sandy, I thought I loved someone, but we would always be getting in fights" Moonwatcher said "It clearly wasn't meant to be, then I met your father and someday you'll meet a dragon who will be the won"
"Thanks mother" Sandy said "Now shouldn't we round up the RainWings" Sandy said
"Right" Ringtail. They flew inside the SandWing tunnel and Ringtail just knew, there was a new talons united. With Ringtail, Python, Kinkajou, Tiger, and Pineapple of the RainWings, Bullfrog, Terracotta, and Gator of the MudWings, Sky, Falcon, and Cinder of the SkyWings, Turtle, Auklet, and Wave of the SeaWings, Coyote, Qibli, and Fennec of the SandWings, Secrecy, Stargazer, Wisdom, and Moonwatcher of the NightWings, Whitecap of the IceWings, Typhoon the SeaWing IceWing hybrid, Sandbar the SandWing SkyWing hybrid, and Sunny and Sandy the SandWing NightWing hybrids. They'll save the queens, they'll save Glory….her mother! Her real mother!
