The three dragonets swiftly flew away from the mountains. Galaxy looked straight ahead as he followed behind Fennec and Hibiscus. The SandWing dragonet held the map closely to her as her wings flapped rapidly. The dragonets quickly dived down to the ground. Galaxy looked behind him as he saw a speck of Sandstone's scales walk back into the mountain. Galaxy looked away. Panic grew in him. Would Sandstone tell the rest of their group where they were? If they followed them, that would lead them straight to Jade Mountain where dragonets and the Dragonets of Destiny are. With how big the group is, they could easily take over and kill any dragon they like.
The three of them soon landed on the ground. The sand below his talons made Galaxy flinch. He didn't realize it, but Galaxy missed the feeling of the wet ground below him. It was too warm in the Kingdom of Sand. He missed the Rainforest more than ever. The sand in his talons hurt. The warm and also burning sunlight also hurt his scales. He could only stand a little of the RainWings' sun time, but that was it.
"We should hurry up and go now." Hibiscus suddenly told them.
Fennec opened the map. "Alright, let's see where we're appose to go."
Galaxy and Hibiscus inched closer to Fennec, looking at the map. Galaxy glanced over at the map and his eyes widen. The mountain and around it was labeled. The mountain that they were just in was labeled Gem Mountain with black ink and circled in dark red ink. Then around it, the land was circled with very dark blue ink and it looked very recent. In the circle, it was labeled Twister Territory in black ink that seemed to be dripping and drying still. Galaxy tiled his head in confusion.
"Well, we just need to go straight ahead and we'll be good. We'll be at Jade Mountain in no time." Fennec explained.
"Alrighty then! Let's go!" Hibiscus replied back as she lifted up in the air and started to fly off.
"Hold on." the SandWing dragonet muttered as she quickly yanked the RainWing back to the ground.
"What is it?" questioned Galaxy.
"I forget to tell you about what's in our way when we get to Jade Mountain. There seems to be two scavenger dens and a spot where dragonbite viper is. The second den seems to be new. I also don't think there are any dragonbite vipers there anymore with how dry the dark green ink is and how it's almost falling and peeling off." the SandWing pointed out to them.
"Scavengers? You mean those small things in some of those scrolls talk about? Those scavengers? How could they be any danger to us?" asked Hibiscus as she turned to look over at Fennec.
"Well, I heard about them killing Queen Oasis of the SandWings. I don't know what exactly they did, but the scavengers killed her." Fennec answered.
"Oh yeah, my mother told me about how Queen Oasis's daughters all fought for the throne and started a war. I forgot their names though." the hybrid dragonet commented.
"Princess Blaze, Burn, and Blister. I think those were the names. Well, thankfully their all dead and Queen Thorn is the queen of all of the SandWings." Fennec replied to Galaxy.
"Isn't Blister alive and in the Ice Kingdom?" Hibiscus mumbled.
"I think it's Blaze you're talking about and no one is sure if she's alive at all." Galaxy answered back.
"Well, enough about what your mother told you, let's go!" Fennec playfully hissed as she started walking off, glancing from the map time to time.
Galaxy and Hibiscus looked at each other, then started to follow Fennec. He looked up into the sky. It was coming night soon and they would have to find somewhere to stay for the night. Galaxy shivered at the thought of any of the dragons from Twister Territory going after them. It would be worse if Sandstone after them. Galaxy knew what that mean if they were captured once again by the group. That would mean they would be locked up and have to do everything all over again.
"Do you think anyone from that group may be going after this especially Sandstone or Twister?" Hibiscus questioned the SandWing suddenly.
"I'm not sure. They'll probably sent out some dragonet or MudWing. They always send out a MudWing if some of their prisoners escape or go missing. They sometimes send a group of dragonets if it's a couple of young dragonets go missing." the SandWing dragonet answered back.
"There's more prisoners?" the hybrid dragonet asked.
"Well, yeah. They have them under the mountains in the prisons. If you stayed a little longer and I wasn't there, you two would have probably been thrown down there. A lot of IceWings and SeaWings are down there with a couple of SandWings, MudWings, and SkyWings. Most SandWings are there out of the three tribes. Twister usually throws any dragons that would deny him. There isn't that much SkyWings and MudWinhgs though, and we don't have any RainWings or NightWings there." Fennec explained.
"I guess I would have been the first RainWing down there." muttered Hibiscus.
'I believe so, but when I was out here hunting I saw some groups of RainWings and NightWings here, so I'm not sure." Fennec replied back.
"Queen Glory never reported any dragons going missing, so they would have come back." the RainWing pointed out.
"Yeah, Mother always had a list of all the dragons of the two tribes. If anyone would go missing of the two tribes, Father and some other dragons like Mangrove and Orchid would go out to find them. They would always be around in the rainforest though." Galaxy told Fennec.
"Hey look! A cave!" Hibiscus shouted.
Galaxy looked over and saw a cave. As he looked in the sky, one of the moons rose up to show up in the sky. The SandWing and RainWing both smirked as they looked at each other. The two dragonets then ran into the dark and pitch black cave. Galaxy looked behind him as the sand blew behind him. Galaxy suddenly wingbeats coming from a far and quickly ran into the cave quickly.
