The next morning in Possibility

With the Skyfire Festival being tomorrow, Deathbringer asked be to runs some errands for him in the Sand kingdom. He wants me to pick gifts he ordered for Glory since he will be doing something for her the night of the festival. I not a big fan of the desert. The dryness makes my gills scratchy.

I flew to Possibility from the magic tunnel. It makes for a very convenient flight science you don't need to fly through the peaks of Jade Mountain. I have been meaning to go to the academy to pick up a book for Glory. I have basically ended up as a royal errand runner for them.

Possibility has become very elegant city with the streets in a grid pattern and hotels. The walls are built of smooth sandstone, canopies of an array of colors protruding from the shops and dragons from all the tribe walking around. There are still many orphans and bandits but just ignore them.

The bandits, I mean.

Don't ignore the orphans.

I walked into Areia's vault, which is one street behind the courtyards, it was a small but cozy establishment with a warm lit interior from the lamps. I changed color to match the brown walls. The store contained many kinds of jewelry from jade earrings to blue diamond bracelets.

A female SandWing, about my age, was humming a tune while cleaning the jewelry box in front of the counter. She had yellow scales and a double row of black scale running all the way to her tail which was all black toward the venomous barb.

"Are you Areia? I asked. The question startled her a bit but what was weird when she turned around.

"No, I'm not Areia. I'm Yuuu…." she paused. " I'm Yuuuaaa…..Yucca. Areia isn't in right now. So it's just me ta...taking care of the shop.

"Ok then. I need to pick-up a package and for Deathbringer." I stated.

"Ah yes, um, I think we, uh, have it in the back," and she scurried into the doorway behind her. Yucca seemed nervous when talking to me like she's never seen a hybrid, but that couldn't be the case because there are hybrids all over Possibility. They all come here because they are looked down upon in their home land. It's sad how some dragons look down on other based on looks and not who they truly are.

I noticed on the counter that they was a paper with the Rainforest Kingdom symbol on it. Being the nosy person I am, I took a peek. It was a list of songs that we're going to be played at the festival tomorrow and Yucca was one of the singers.

CRASH. A loud sound of things falling came from the back. I quickly hustled into the room. Yucca was buried under a big pile of boxes and only her tail sticking out. "Are you alright?" I asked urgently.

"Yes, I'm ok. Here is your necklace," she held up the jewelry with the tip of her tail, "mind the barb."

"I'll help you out," I said as I grabbed the necklace and started to move the boxes.

"No I got, got it," Yucca tried to move but couldn't, "Ok, maybe a little help would fine."

After about 5 mins we cleaned up all the boxes and walked out into the main room of the store.

"Sorry about that," Yucca assured.

"No problem," I replied, "So you'll be at the rainforest tomorrow? I knew that we were going to have SandWings performing and that song you were singing was a famous jungle tune.

She started to blush and lost eye contact, "You heard….it...uh... yeah I'm going to be a singer, on stage, in front of many dragons, all staring at me." She was now looking at the floor.

"Don't worry, I think you'll do great," I said trying to cheer her up.

"You think so."

"Yeah, you will be fine. It has always been a good show. Anyway, Thanks for the necklace. See you there."

"You're welcome. See you there," said Yucca.

I walked out into the courtyard and continued the shopping run. I collected desert flowers, a golden crown (that was very heavy), and a red silk robe. Just as I was about to leave, a crowd had formed around the news board. The board had flyers of assassin jobs and normal gossip but, the thing that everyone was looking at was a report of strange dragons in the claw of the continent. I couldn't see a name or description of the dragons because of the hoard was in the way.

I left, not wanting to be stung or trampled by an unaware MudWing, and soared to the tunnel.

Returning to the misty rainforest and arriving at Glory's hut at about noon. I knocked on the door and Deathbringer opened, "Scheffler you're back. Thank you so much for the gifts. I knew I count on you."

"No problem, I try to be a countable dragon."

"Good," he said handing me a longer list, "now there are some more things that would tie this all together. I need twenty jewels from the Skywings, three 10ft ice sculptures from the best sculpted in the Ice kingdom, scale bracelet and shark tooth necklace from the Seawings and 4…."

All I did was sigh.

Scheffler's got quite the list to do. I let him go do that. Thanks for reading this chapter. I hope you like Yucca, she will be in the next chapter and will be a reoccurring character. I will try to get the next chapter by Valentines Day but it may be the the day after. Scheffler and co will have other adventures in other kingdoms, so you won't have to look at the rainforest every time. I would also like to add a fan tribe but I don't know which one so let me know if there is one you want to see. As usual, send in your idea for more chapters.
