Where is she. She shouldn't have been gone that long, Nico worried to himself. Usually he didn't care if Hazel was gone for hours back at Camp, but that was when she was safe and no one was out there to harm her. With a war starting between these dragons and an unknown enemy that could strike at any minute, anything could happen to her.
"Nico? Angry rainwings coming our way", whispered Piper. In the distance, there were five red dragon figures coming out of the trees followed by a nightwing, a mudwing, and two sea colored dragons carrying a big black lump. "Is that Peril"? Asked Clay excitedly. "Clay, don't forget the fact that she has four skywings with her", Glory growled, then she noticed the others in the group, then became very confused. Her sloth Silver poked her head out from behind Glory's wings to check out the scene.
As the dragons got closer, Nico could see all of them clearly. The closest one was a copper colored dragon that seemed to be carrying a smaller, flaming dragon, no not flaming, just the color of his scales. The behind her was a dark crimson dragon with a silver bow with a quiver of silver arrows and a light orange colored dragon who had a sword strapped to his tail. Piper seemed to recognize the dragon because she yelled, "JASON".
The light orange dragon seemed to perk up and speed up, barreling straight toward her. At the last moment he spread his wings in front of him which caused a blast of wind to wash over the queen's hut as he landed. "Piper, thank Zeus you are alright", said Jason, wrapping his giant wings around Piper.
"Ah good you are all here", purred the crimson dragon as she landed beside the copper one. "Sunny help him please, he got scratched by a sandwing. Do you still have some of the antidote"? the copper set down the flame colored dragon. "Yes we do fortunately, could someone pick him up and follow me"? Peril picked up the dragon because no one else was that crazy enough to. "Hold on. Is that Leo"? Asked Nico recognizing the belt and the fact that he had a flaming hammer on his shoulder like Nico's skull. "Yes that is Leo and there is Hazel, Frank, and Percy behind us", said Peril before she disappeared off the edge and made their way to their version of a hospital.
She was right, Hazel was flying side by side with a mudwing that must've been frank and Percy must've been one of the sea dragons
"Hey Glory check out what I caught", yelled the blue dragon as she dropped a huge nightwing on a branch. "How… Are… You not… exhausted", Percy panted, limbs shaking in desperation to keep him from collapsing like a wet blanket on the branch he was standing on. "I think you need some rest Percy. You didn't get any sleep last night so there is plenty of places to sleep here. Try one of the platforms or hammocks". "Oh I will take him to one", piped a small light blue dragonet with pink tipped wings, "Look there's a good one. It's easy to get to also, just soar down there and…" Percy didn't want to wait for her to finish because he lazily spread his wings and let the wind carry him down. He must've fallen asleep in midair because the greenish blue dragon crashed face first onto the platform, frightening a bunch of rainwings as he skidded to a stop in the center of it. Either the rainwings were worried about Percy or were very stupid because they all stared at sleeping Percy as if he were a beached, dead sea creature that they have never seen before. Nico watched as one of the rainwings poked his shoulder for no reason at all. When they finally figured out that Percy was not dead, they went back to sleep, some even plopping themselves on Percy's wings and tail. Then the rainwing dragonets flew down from branches began piling fruits and leaves on top of Percy as he slept. Nico tried not to laugh at the situation and flew down to where the others had gathered.
"Shh. He's waking up", whispered Sunny. The dragonets had tied up the big black dragon named Morroser to a tree and were going to interrogate him for answeres. From what Starflight had told Nico, Morrowser was a dragon who made up a prophecy about five dragonets that would end the twenty year war between the sandwing sisters. He raised the five dragonets in a cave with almost no sunlight whatsoever and tricked the entire land of Pyrrhia into thinking the prophecy was real and so because of Morrowser, they had to stop a war. Nico thought about that and realized that the dragonets' childhood was even worse than his by a longshot, even though most of them were royalty.
"Ugh… Huh?" Morrowser woke and growled in frustration, straining against the thick vines that bound him. "Don't even bother Morrowser. Those vines cannot be broken by strength. If you do manage to break them you would have to go through us", Said Glory, her scales shifting to blue and purple. Morrowser growled, "What do you want with me you worthless dragonets? Did Blister win the war"? "No, Thorn is the queen of the sandwings and the war is over. What WE want with you is to know how did these guys get here, who is behind this and what is she or he going to do? Tell us or we shall have to use force". Morrowser smiled and chuckled a deep, rumbling laugh that would've scared a hellhound to run under Hade's throne. "Never", Morrowser finally answered. "Wrong answer", yelled Tsunami and she smacked the black dragon in the face so hard it sent his head spinning, literally. Morrowser's head was backwards, facing the tree behind him, causing him to scream in agony until his head slowly spun back to the original place it was before. "Well…" Morrowser shook his head. "Clay, your turn".
For hours, the dragonets got nothing out of Morrowser other than "never"s and "No"s, or no answer at all. Everyone was getting bored and then an idea hit Nico. "Guys, can I try"? He asked. Glory had just sprayed a blast of black venom at the dragon's face and he didn't answer the questions she had asked. "Fine, do what you must. I've had my amount of fun for today".
Nico grabbed a loose vine dangling from above and wrapped it tightly around Morrowser's neck, not enough to make the dragon pass out, but just enough to stop him from breathing comfortably. Nico chuckled at his work and how the dragon who tried to hurt his sister writhed beneath the vines that constricted him. "Now wait a little while for and I believe this dragon will be ready to talk".
While Nico was waiting he got to do whatever he wanted for a little while. He talked to his sister and Jason who was spending time with Piper as he told Nico the story of his adventure. He got to meet Tsunami's sisters, Auklet, and the pink one Anemone. Anemone seemed to have a little crush on Percy because the dragonet could blab on all day on how he saved them from the claws of the new enemy who seemed to go for the dragons that were alone and not in the sight of the rainforest kingdom.
When Nico got bored of that, he went to check on Leo who was snoring away on the table, of course, on fire. Jason assured the nurses that Leo does that and they should not worry if he bursts into flames, unless he accidentally lights the entire forest on fire, if so wetten the leaves and Leo if possible and there might not be a catastrophe. Through the orange flames, Nico could spot Leo's scratch and it was looking a little better than it was before and Leo was breathing well.
Nico also went to check on Percy, who was still sleeping like a bear during winter, loud, and no sign of waking up till next spring. he was covered in vines, leaves and fruit, but he still looked like Percy. Nico took some of the leaves off of Percy and slowly removed a red fruit from his mouth. He had asked Anaconda about the same fruit before he was kidnapped and she said to never eat it unless you want it stuck in your teeth for a very long time. "Nico. Morrowser's finally going to talk. Come on".
Sure enough, Nico's plan worked. Morrowser was still tied there, gasping as the vine was removed from his neck. "Ok now answer my questions", said Glory, crossing her arms. "Fine. The reason these demigods are here is because my master has a stone that can take and send someone from another world, but only an amunis dragon can control it though. My master is an animus and she calls herself Geldon. That is all I will tell you".
The dragonets talked the situation over for a second and began piecing together a plan. When they were finally done, Glory called up all of her friends. She called up Deathbringer, Webs, Kinkajou, the demigods, including Percy, and of course the dragonets. They were all brought inside her hut and got to sit in a circle in the center of the room"What's going on", Percy yawned, sitting on a branch next to Jason and eating one of the fruits that was placed on him during his slumber. "Quiet everyone. Listen up, there has been a rumor spread around that there will be another war between us and this Geldon. No one has seen her except our prisoner, who is now dead because of his ignorance of not to talk. Anyway, Geldon seems to have gathered an army of ghost metal dragons and they might outnumber us. We need to gather armies from each tribe and fend off this mysterious dragon before she takes over our worlds. Tsunami will gather up the seawing army and get back their queen. Sunny, I need you to convince your mother to fight along with us also could you try and convince queen glacier to lend us a little help too. Can you do that"? Sunny sighed and told Glory that she could. "Fantastic, now Clay, I need you to get the mudwings on our side and the skywings too". "I'm OK with that", said Clay. "Yeah. I can help", said Frank and some of the other demigods volunteered also. "Absolutely not", Yelled Glory, taking control of all the chaos, "You all are safe here. The ghost metal warriors won't come for you all if you just stay in the village and also we don't want you all to get captured and slaughtered. Then she would become more powerful that we could ever imagine and she could take over the world". Some of the demigods moaned in frustration, and the rest that didn't mind staying in the safe rainforest and eating fruit all day. "Also, when you gained an army, bring them to the rainforest so we can discuss battle plans. "Oh, Frank and I are good at battle planning", said Percy and everyone else agreed. "Alright its settled then…"
Before Glory could finish, someone screamed "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH" and everyone knew that it was Leo.
OK, was that good enough. Review what you think and I hope you are enjoying the story so far. Thank you and keep dreaming my friends.
