Dust woke up.
"Starflight go taken by the Sandwing basta-." Dust was cut off.
"No I wasn't, I was hiding." Replied, Starflight, damnit Frostburn.
"What, I was told you were kidnapped by that Sandwing." Dust said before realising his mistake.
"Told by who?" Tsunami asked, now suspicious, as were the rest of the Dragonets.
"You don't need to know, it might put you in danger." Dust replied.
"Nonsense, let them meet me." Boomed the random voice of Frostburn.
"No, don't you dare," the drowsiness started. " NO, STOP DAMNIT."
And they all collapsed, one by one, until everyone was sleeping, moments later, dust woke.
"The hell, why am I awake?" dust asked, expecting a reply from Frostburn.
Then he looked around.
He was in a prison cell, made completely of sandstone, with a metal gate.
"where am I?" Dust mumbled to himself.
"Oh, your awake. Good." said a male voice nearby.
"who is there?" Dust said, suddenly alert.
"Prince smoulder, brother to queen burn." Said the voice, now in view, he looked, nothing like what he had thought a brother of Burn's would look like. He had pale scales, like most of the tribe, (sunny excluded) a weird black diamond pattern on his scales, he also had a mass of different pouches and keys hanging from his neck.
"open this door and fight coward." Dust spat at him.
"that would be a horrible idea, you could most likely kill me, given the chance, good thing you can't move."
Dust now realised he was covered in chains to the point that he couldn't see his claws or tail.
"A coward, just like the rest of the Sandwing army, acting big and tough, but the second I get to you you will be begging for mercy, coward." Dust shouted at Smoulder.
Another Sandwing came up behind Smoulder, this one wearing a brown hood and cloak, with surprising stealth, for a dragon, and bashed him in the back of the head a few times before lifting his hood.
"Are you Dust?" he asked
"who's asking?" Dust replied.
"Sixclaws of the Outclaws."
"what is with the claws?, Jeasus."
"Sunny sent me."
With a sudden jolt of adrenaline, dust lept forward, despite the chains.
"Where is she?" Dust demanded
"She escaped and got help from the Outclaws, turns out she's the lost egg thorn has been looking for for years, anyway, we need to get you out of those chains." Sixclaws explained.
"He has the keys." Dust told him, pointing at Smoulder's limp body.
After a good 20 minutes of finding the right keys to unlock Dust's cell and his chains, they got the hell out of there. The escape was, thankfully, uneventful and they were flying towards a small walled town.
"Where are the rest of the Dragonets?" Dust asked.
"Hopefully they escaped already." Sixclaws replied, as sounds of fighting started coming from the fortress behind them.
"we need to go back, now!" Dust said while turning.
"No, you go to the Scorpion Den, I can't let you get captured again." Sixclaws shouted to him.
"Im not leaving the rest of the Dragonets behind!"
"Too bad, go or I make you go."
"Sixclaws what do we do?" said four Sandwings coming up from the town.
"Get this dragon to the Scorpion Den, put him in Thorn's tent, unconscious."
Not a second later Dust was knocked out cold.
