Author's note: ummm, heheh oops. i guess i went a little more behind schedule huh?

Inferno: you think so?! we and all the other people have been waiting for this next chapter since march!

me: alright, i get it, this took a heck of a lot longer than expected, but don't worry for here is chapter three

Inferno: finally. enjoy everybody!

I woke up during the night in a slight panic, i dreamt that Atlantia and I had a dragon egg which held a magic dragon, and afterwards we were banished to the charcoal island to never be seen by anybody else. Luckily i woke up and found myself within my habitat, i looked over the edge and found Atlantia sleeping peacefully in her own.

"Wow, that was crazy; i'm just glad that we're still here, but now i'm more afraid than ever to be discovered with her."

i went back to sleep and only dreamt blackness the rest of the night. in the morning i decided to stop by the hatchery nest where Grallya would most likely be sleeping, i looked in and saw the egg she was curled up with. i couldn't believe it, my sister was going to become a mother, and to a life dragon no less, i was proud to be her older brother, if only by about two years.

"He's gonna become a great dragon Inferno."

i was startled at the voice behind me, but when i turned around i saw my now brother Greenroot standing there at the entranceway.

"You startled me man, i wasn't expecting anyone else to be awake this early."

"Sorry bro, but i couldn't help myself. She looks so peaceful sleeping there, i wonder what she's dreaming about."

"Yeah, i wonder." i said this while looking into the distance. I guess Greenroot saw what my expression was and gave me a slight smile.

"Come on man, let's talk over at my place." We flew towards Greenroot's den and talked there in private. "I knew your expression back there man, you were thinking about Atlantia weren't you?" I gave him a smile; we've been best friends for so long that we can read each other like books.

"Yeah, i guess i made that obvious. I was just thinking if the two of us could ever have a future together, i mean we can't go on like this forever, there is no way i can keep this gig up and just stay on this part." i hung my head down in sorrow, lost in my thoughts. I felt Greenroot's claw on my shoulder and looked up to see him.

"Don't worry man, you're my best friend turned brother, i'll help you and Atlantia, no matter what the cost; just remember, i'm always here for you man. And as for a future, i think the two of you might have a pretty sweet deal going on" I smiled back at him, knowing that he was the only person that could understand me, and the only one who i was able to talk to in a situation like this; he just smiled back in understanding.

"Thanks bro, don't think i can do this without you, i'm glad we met all those years ago."

"So am i." We said goodbye and i flew off in search of breakfast. i managed to grab hold of a deer on an island not too far from here, and then brought it back to the island where more were starting to wake up. i cooked up the deer and yanked off a piece to give to Grallya. the rest was for whoever wanted some, and me of course; i made sure to stash away some meat for Atlantia. I waited till later when others were up and about, and when her brother was away, to quickly fly over there and drop off the delivery. Well my initial entrance did shock her a bit.

"Inferno, what are you doing here, you're gonna get caught?!"

"I just wanted to bring you this." i pulled out the cooked slab in a leaf parcel from under my wing and gave it to her.

"Thanks Fernie, i knew you wouldn't forget about me."

"Sunset, our island, meet me there."

"Alright, i will." She gave me a quick peck on the cheek goodbye and i was off faster than even a super dragon could see. I flew under the island and made sure nobody was behind me, and then proceeded to make preparations on the island. I told Greenroot to cover for me while i was gone before i left, he made sure to take charge if anyone asked. When i arrived i began my work on making this the perfect setup. It took almost the whole day, setting up the places in just the perfect spot, finding and preparing the meal, and finally the last touch. I lit three small signal sticks, provided by Greenroot, which are able to burn for around two hours, i then set them up in a candle like fashion and waited. Five minutes later i saw a familiar blue shape swimming towards me, in a flash i was over there to pick her up out of the water.

"Well aren't you the gentleman." I smiled and led her over the hill.

"Here we are." Her face was that of happiness and shock to what she saw ahead of her. A candle, or rather stick, lit dinner with a table like rock in the center, and both sides having perfectly dragonfire cooked halibut.

"I-I don't know what to say, did you set this all up yourself?"

"You know it, I will always go one step beyond for you." I led her to her side of the table, and i sat on my side, we each overlooked the sunset, and in this reflective water, it seemed to extend forever. We ate and talked about how we might be heading with our lives; but finally the sun fully went down and just in time for the sticks to go out.

"Oh wow, i didn't realize it was getting this late."

"Don't worry, i had this all planned out; here, look on the lake." She turned and her face went into sheer awe, as far as we could see there was nothing but stars on the water and in the sky. "I made sure to pick a spot where it just seems it's the two of us and the rest of space." I could tell that there was no place either of us would rather be than right here, right now. We stood there admiring the scenery for about another ten minutes until we decided it was time to leave. We both flew off towards the main island, and at the beach we gave a kiss goodbye. I went off to my own den to see that Blaze was sleeping soundly, i checked on the hatchery and saw that Grallya was still there. I went back to the den and checked on blaze one more time, and for a split second i thought i could see his eye open and shut again, but i just shrugged it off as my imagination and went to sleep.

In the morning i was greeted to two pairs of eyes facing me, and i saw that it was Blaze and Grallya.

"Hey guys what's up?" Their faces were pretty serious, and when i heard Blaze speak, i could tell that this wasn't good.

"Why don't you tell us what's up with that water dragon you've been seeing?!" I could feel my face lose about three shades of red the moment he said that sentence, and all i could say was.

"uh oh"
