Star Bright grumbled. Kia had left for a while, and now she was completely and utterly bored. And that's not fun. She played with the chains a bit and wondered now what would happen to her. She needed to get out of here soon, or Kia would use her to make an army…
She looked out a window. The moon glowed brightly. How she wished to get out of the chains that bound her to a destiny she couldn't escape. A destiny that she needed to escape for the world. She thought about Daine and Numair, how they had helped her. Now she couldn't help them. She realized something. She could transfer her powers, that meant she could use that ability to help her escape. She turned into a cat and called out into the night for help. A bat came swooping in. //Can you help me, wing brother?// She asked the bat. It said yes. She gently held it in her hands, and concentrated on her powers shifting into it. Her whole body glowed and a wind engulfed the two. The glowing increased, and the chains fell to the floor uselessly. When the wind died down, Star Bright looked amazed at the person in front of her. He had bat wings. She smiled. As she suspected, the chains would not be able to take the power that flowed through her at such a fast rate.
"What'd you do to me?" The bat person asked.
"You can now turn into a human and bat at will." Star Bright said. He gave her an odd look.
"You look different." He said.
Star Bright looked down at herself. The power surge had caused her body to age. She now looked about 20. "Damn." She uttered under her breath. "Shit. Now how will Daine and Numair recognize me? And how did this happen?" She wondered to herself. The bat boy had left, turning back into a bat.
"Be careful…" she whispered to him, but she doubted he heard. She wished that she could transform into an animal that could fly. Just maybe, now that she was human she could. She closed her eyes and focused on being a hawk. It worked! Of course since this wasn't her usual form, like Daine her clothes fell to the floor. It didn't matter since they didn't fit anymore. She flew off into the night sky.

Daine woke up in the middle of the night. She noticed Numair was gone. Daine got out of bed to look for Numair. She found him on the balcony looking out at the full moon. "What's the matter, Numy?" she asked him, yawning.
"I couldn't sleep. Bad dreams." He said still looking at the moon.
"Ah. Come back to bed, Numy." Daine said, pulling on his arm.
"Sure. I will." He said, and picked Daine up, who was still half asleep and gently placed her back in bed. He got in himself and Daine snuggled up to him. Pairs of eyes looked down on them.
"What's going to happen to Star Bright?" Daine asked.
"I already told you. I don't know." Numair said.
"I just have a really bad feeling about something, Numy." She said with a sigh. Numair kissed her eyelids.
"I do too." He said. The eyes flickered. "That's why I got out of bed." He said, and kissed her. His hands slid around her waist. A shrill whistle broke out and a large THUMP was heard. Daine and Numair shot up to see what it was. A small dragon staggered up and then got up on its hind legs.
"Kitten!" Daine cried and picked the dragon up. "What are you doing here?" The dragon shivered and told Daine that the dragon realms had been taken over. Daine told Numair this.
"How's that possible?" He asked.
"What ever is holding Star Bright is responsible for this. I know it…" Daine said. She leaned her head on Numair's chest.
"Great. We're up against a force that is able to take over the dragon realms." Numair said. "We first need to get any information from Marcus as possible. Think that is okay?" Numair asked Daine. She nodded.
"Marcus may know about what is happening." Daine agreed. "So we head after him tomorrow?" Daine asked. Numair shook his head.
"He came back in the middle of the night for Varice and is still here." Numair said. Daine smiled.
"Be careful with him, Numair." She warned him.
"I will be, magelet." He told her and brought his mouth to hers. Daine placed her hands around his neck, and they fell back onto their pillows. Daine soon fell asleep.
"Be careful, Numy…" she muttered in her sleep. Numair hugged her close to him.

Star Bright groaned as she tripped over chains. There was a barrier keeping her in. 'How grand,' she thought to herself. Kia walked in. "Thought you would escape, did you? Rascal." She said. "That requires punishment." Kia smiled evilly. Star Bright spat.
"What's that?" she asked bitterly.
Kia smiled. "Torture…" she said.
"What's that? Whipping me with a feather?" she said with a smirk. Kia laughed as Star Bright's chains tightened. "…ouch." Star Bright said. The chains tightened more so that she couldn't breath. Kia laughed as Star Bright fell unconscious on the ground.
"Served her right. It's a shame I can't kill her… yet. Now, I need to dispose of those obnoxious mages." She said with a sigh and walked out of the room letting Star Bright breathe again.

Daine slumbered peacefully near Numair. "Let's give them a warning to mind their own business." Kia said, and pulled out a dagger. She brought it above Daine, and let it plunge into her skin, slicing it smoothly.. She let the dagger sit in Daine's arm and she then poured her blood on her face for amusement. Kia was like that. Then she wrote with the shadows,
"destiny" and left with a smirk. Daine would live, but the dagger was poisoned. She'd wake up once she left. And feel pain like she hadn't before until the potion was made to stop it. That is, if she didn't give up before then. Once she left, Daine's eyes shot open. A pain seared through her that at first she couldn't scream, but she managed to let out a scream. It was not very loud, but enough to get Numair awake. He immediately pulled the dagger out of her.
"Daine!" he said. "What happened to you?" he asked. She didn't respond. The pain concentrated in her arm leaked to all over her body. It stung hard, and she fell into illusions.
