Keroberos, Spinel Sun, and Fai tried many times to get the wizard off the creature, to no avail, so everyone stayed where they were. Mokona was nestled inside Fai's shirt, Fai sat on the dragon's back, holding the spike in front of him, Syaoran and Keroberos flew off to the left, and Spinel Sun and Kurogane to the right. It seemed that the dragon had given up on trying to throw off Fai, and continued onward.

It took several hours for the dragon to land, and when it did a woman and two small dragons came out to greet it. The group recognized the woman as the girl they saw in the water before, in Toya and Yukito's meeting room. The two dragons must have been servants of some kind because they took the princesses carefully onto the strange saddles on their backs and carried them inside what appeared to be a cave. The princesses appeared to be unconscious, and unharmed, thankfully.

"It seems that several others have followed you here...no?" The woman asked before peering around each side of the dragon to see Kurogane, Spinel Sun, Syaoran, Keroberos and Fai. When the woman made it clear that she had seen them, Syaoran and Kurogane were off. Both of them jumped from the guardians and within the blink of an eye had swords pointed at the woman.

"Where did they take the princesses?" Syaoran asked his voice solid and unwavering.

The woman tensed when the swords were pointed at her. She looked toward the large dragon and said, "You may leave, I can handle this."

The dragon glared at Kurogane and Syaoran for a moment before he craned his long neck around to look at Fai, who grinned and waved at the creature. The dragon leaned back and hooked a tooth through the back of Fai's shirt, lifting him up and then dropping him to the ground. The beast snorted and then took off to the sky. Fai stood and dusted himself off before casting his gaze upon the scene before him.

"Please," The woman said, "My name is Shuuko, and I mean no harm to the princesses." The woman bowed her head and waited for a response of some kind.

"If you mean no harm to them, then why did you send an army of dragons to kidnap Kurdra's princess?" Syaoran asked, not moving his sword from his spot.

"Because, I am Princess Misaki's mother." Shuuko answered.
