He had gotten used to the darkness. Ever since he was blinded by the volcano eruption destroying the Nightwings kingdom, Starflight had to get used to the fact that he couldn't see. Fatespeaker and Sunny would come and read him scrolls often and once he got lesions from Kinkajou's friend, flying was easier.
"Starflight I'm back." Fatespeaker said as she flew through the doorframe of his house. "I brought you a new scroll. It talks about different studies of different types of dragons out there."
"That's neat." Starflight said turning to curl up next to her. Her scales emitted a heat that he had become accustomed to. Starflight had only laid eyes on her for a while but her image was stuck in his head. His dad was working on making something that might bring back his sight. He had a lot of time on his claws now that he had been released from the Rainwings prison.
"So what have you done while I was away getting your scrolls?" She asked him embracing his hug.
"I was actually taking a nap. I heard you fly in and I woke up."
"Really? I'm sorry I was trying to be quiet too." She said to him.
"It's ok I'm tired of being tired. There is really nothing to do when you're blind." Starflight said to Fatespeaker.
"Actually there is one thing we could do if you wouldn't mind leaving the house?" She asked him turning out of his wings. "We could go and fly to Jade Mountain? I heard the sunset is really pretty. Oh. Starflight I'm so sorry, sometimes I forget that you're blind."
"Fatespeaker it's ok. We can go if it makes you happy." Starflight said walking towards the door frame. He jumps out and flaps his wings to keep him in place. He could feel her moving into his wing to help him fly. They started up towards the sky and then flew forwards toward Jade Mountain. He wondered how a dragon could survive inside that mountain. He thought blindness was bad but being stuck in a mountain was even worse. He still remembered Kestrel saying they could contact her through the dragon of Jade Mountain. He knew she was really mean to all of them but he still wished she could have been there to help them.
"Starflight thanks for going with me. It means a lot to have a friend like you on this journey with me." Fatespeaker said to his ear as they got closer to Jade Mountain.
"It's no problem. Even though I can't see it just spending time with you is great." Starflight said nudging her with his snout.
"Aww. Thanks so much that means a lot to me Starflight." They both flew onwards towards Jade Mountain. After flying for a while, Starflight and Fatespeaker finally reach Jade Mountain. They both landed down on a small perch close to the top.
"Starflight…I…I think I just saw a fox." Fatespeaker said turning towards Starflight. "Let's go and catch it." They slowly climbed along the ledge following the fox's path. The ledge turned into the mountain and they both walked in.
"It's so dark in here." Fatespeaker said to her partner. In response, Starflight opened his mouth and shot out a flame down the hallways of the cave. The flame flew all the way down and busted when it hit the end of the hallway.
"Starflight keep doing that." Fatespeaker said walking down the hallway. They both walked down until the end and then turned right. They kept winding down the hallways until they reached a large circular room. In the middle sat a large Nightwing. At first it looked like a stone pillar until Starflight shot a flame out and hit it.
"Ouch! Why would you hit me?" The dragon asked slowly turning in Starflight and Fatespeaker's direction.
"I'm sorry sir." Starflight said to the old dragon. "I'm blind so I didn't know you were there."
"It's ok. I'm not very noticeable considering I'm turning to stone from using my animus powers too much." Fatespeaker gasped and Starflight shook his head in disbelief.
"Your Sunny's father aren't you." Starflight asked.
"Yes I am. You must be Starflight and that Fatespeaker. You know Sunny talks about you a lot when she comes to visit with her mother. I'm glad to see that you are happy. This might not help but with the last bit of powers I have left I might be able to return your sight." The old animus dragon coughed and then started to chant something under his breath. A light glow of purple spun around his eyes and then shot towards Starflight. It burst through the bandages and soaked into his eyes. Starflight opened his eyes and stared around the cave. He could see again. He could see. Sunny's father had become blind to give him his sight.
"Thank you so much." Starflight said.
"It's no problem I'll just bind my sight with dinners enjoy your sight."
He turned to look at Fatespeaker. She was even prettier than he remembered. They both walked out of the cave and smiled as the sun set over Jade Mountain. As they both climbed up the last bit of mountain the sun slowly set around them. Once on top Starflight stared straight into Fatespeaker's eyes. His vision slowly started to fade away.
"I love you" He said leaning in to kiss her.
"I love you too." She said leaning in too.
It was the best experience he had ever had, and it was with the person he loved.
