A month passed and Meg's arm and Luna's wing were finally getting better. Luna was able to fly again and Meg to fight with her sword. They were staying on Thor Island, finally relaxing and enjoying new lands without being scared being tracked by hunters.

Aby decided to give a big tour of her island and race with their dragons around. Aby showed Meg her skills on riding Thorgard, diving head first and with only a flap of wings, flew up again by the Light Fury side. Of course Meg took it as a challenge and nodded at Luna who immediately understood the question. Meg stood on Luna and let herself fall. The white dragon, instead of flying to catch her rider, shot a plasma blast and flew into it, disappearing. Aby just watched it happen and saw Meg nearing the land. The blond girl was about to order her Skrill to go fetch her but she suddenly saw Meg at her side, flying, on nothing but air.

Aby only blinked in confusion until Luna appeared slowly under Meg's lap. Meg smirked smugly and winked then flew ahead. Aby chuckled. This girl was indeed not like the ones from her tribe. She never was able to fly with someone else than her sister, so having a friend was really nice.

The young girls were flying back to the island, a storm coming toward them and needed to take cover cause flying in the rain wasn't really the nicest feeling.

-"And your father never recognized your fighting skills?"

-"Nah. Since my sister is the heir, he's only interested in what she does.", Aby shrugged.

-"That's not really fair is it?", Meg frowned.

-"Yeah but whadaya want, that's how tribes works I guess. I'm not saying that my dad isn't kind with me. He is, really. He only has us. But he's just putting all his hopes in Ase. And he's right to do so. She's really strong and a loving sister with me. She's the best. In everything she does. And I admire her. And so is my dad. And I guess it makes him forget sometimes that I'm here too.", Aby sighed.

-"I'm sorry.", Meg said.

-"It's okay. I'm still happy with how things are. But enough about me. What's your family like? You also have those sibling problems?", Aby teased.

-"Actually I don't have siblings. It's just me and my mom.", Meg said flatly.

-"Oh. Then where do you live? What's the name of your island? And even if you're not really a civil person, what's your village like?", Aby asked enthusiastically.

-"I'm sorry I can't tell anything.", Meg shook her head.

-"Oh come on just-"

-"No!", Meg exclaimed.

Aby's mouth shut. Silence settled between them once again.
-"Well, just know that I'm happy I met you and that you're welcome here whenever you want.", Aby tried again.

-"Thank you.", Meg nodded, giving a hopeful smile at the blondie.

Meg happened to talk more and be more open with Aby but still was careful not to tell too much. It was still too soon to talk about where she lived, with who and mostly how. Aby seemed really wanting for Meg to stay but Meg needed to get back to Valka. It had been already way too long and her mom was probably sick worried. She couldn't let her come to find her and let the sanctuary unguarded with trappers around.

-"I need to get back home.", Meg spoke out loud after a moment of silence between them.

-"Oh, already?", Aby asked sadly.

-"Yes. It had been too long and my mom is probably worried.", Meg explained.

-"Oh yeah. Well. I understand.", Aby sighed.

Meg felt guilty for the first time and bite her lip. She swallowed her proud with difficulty but spoke.

-"I am... thankful, for your help. For what you've done for us. For me. In these past days. I uh... I guess there is still hope that not everyone is hating on dragons.", Meg said, putting her hood on as she felt a few drops of rain falling but mostly to hide her blush.

-"I'm glad I could help. You saved my life and Thorgard too. That was only normal. Besides, it also felt nice to finally have a friend to hang out with.", Aby smiled.
Meg turned back to her.

-"A friend?", Meg gasped.

-"Well of course!", Aby smiled wider.

Meg blinked and lowered her head, looking at the water under Luna.

-"What is it?", Aby asked.

-"Nothing it's just... weird, to have a friend. That is actually not a dragon.", Meg shrugged.

-"Oh I see. Well then I guess that makes me your best friend.", Aby chuckled with a proud grin.

Meg couldn't help but laugh but nodded. It really felt good.
-"Just promise you will come back visit me.", Aby begged.

-"I promise.", the auburn girl nodded.

Aby's smile came back.

Both girl saw the island getting nearer and their dragons paced their flight to reach it.
Until they heard shouts. Meg looked around and gasped.
-"Luna wait!"

The white dragon growled and stopped, making Aby stopping as well.

-"Meg? What's wrong? What's happ-"

-"There!", Meg pointed.

Aby followed her finger and looked at the distant shadow. When she suddenly realized.

-"That's a hunter ship!", Aby gasped, turned back to look at Meg, "We can't let them approach the island now! I need to go to warn my father first and-"

-"There is no time for that or they will ambush your village and you won't have time to gather your skrills in the mountain.", Meg said.

-But-"

-"We will take care of them ourselves.", Meg said fiercely.

-"What?! Are you crazy?! They are four ships full of hunters, how are we suppose to-"

-"We have dragons!"

-"Only two!"

Meg sighed.

-"Aby listen. I've dealt with an entire ship like these on my own, in a few minutes only. They are not fireproof. A few blast will destroy their ships and drown them. Beside, you have a Skrill and there is a storm coming. The weather is with us! We can't lose!", Meg explained.

-"Meg I don't know-"

-"Aby! You told me you wished your father could look at you the same way he's looking at your sister, that he could finally recognize your skills and your strength. Well, this is the time!", Meg encouraged.

Aby stared at Meg for a moment then watched the ship afar. She took a deep breath and looked back at Meg, with determination this time.

-"Okay. Let's do this.", Aby nodded.
Meg smiled.

-"Then, let's kick some butts."
