Nothing much to say. But thank you so much for your guys' support. Again, leave a comment, ask a question if you want if you're confused. Also go check out my other stories, I'd appreciate it a lot. So now let's get back into the action.


Peril POV:

I just wondered through the streets of Possibility. Nothing too interesting caught my eye. Surprisingly though, no one had run away in fear yet. Either they haven't noticed me, or actually do care about me. "Hey, you're Peril, the one with firescales right?" Someone asked. "Yes I am." I turned to see a sandwing standing there. "I heard about what you did up in the sky kingdom. Did you really help Ruby in her fight against Scarlet?" she asked. "Well, not directly. But to put it simple, yes." I answered. "Also I think having firescales is pretty cool. Having your opponents not be able to touch you without getting harmed." she said, which sort of made me feel happy. "I guess in a fight yes. But with other things, it's a curse really." I looked down a little. "I really wish I could give you a hug to comfort you. I mean, your a hero to me and my friends. You saved Clay, and the world. Twice. I just hope you have fun." I then remembered why I was here. "Oh, by any chance have you seen a pale orange skywing around my age?" She gave me a surprised look. "You mean the one that has no fire and put three skywing soldiers in the hospital?!" He put three soldiers in the hospital? He really needs help. "Yes him. I'm looking for him." The sandwing only shrugged. "Well, his friends and he went north, but the trail went cold near the Claws of the Clouds. I wish I could've been more useful." I wanted to give her a pat on the back, but I couldn't. "Hey, that information was actually really helpful, thanks. What's your name by the way?" She looked at me hopefully. "I'm Snakeback. And did I really? Oh man I have to tell the others that I helped out Pyrrhia's hero. I'll see ya later Peril." Snakeback then flew off to who knows where. "At least I have some lead."

I continued walking and came across a healers hut. I figured that maybe at least one soldier would be in there. I knocked on the stone part of the door and waited. The door opened and a mudwing was there. "Can I help you?" she asked sounding a little irritated. "Why yes, any chance you recently took a sandwing or skywing in to fix up? I need to talk to one of them." She motioned me inside. "You're the firescales one right?" She asked. "Yes I am." She stopped at a door. "He's in here. Oh, the name's Mayfly. Call if anything happens alright?" I nodded and entered the room. There was only a couple skywings in here; both pretty banged up. "Hello there." I asked trying to sound casual. "Hello Peril. I was wondering if you'd ever show up." A shiny red skywing said. "You were expecting me?" The orange skywing barged in. "All the skywings who've served long enough know who that pale orange skywing was, and there's only one person left who'd actually care." The red skywing continued. "So yes we were expecting you. I'm Sunstreaker. My accomplice here is Slash." Slash growled a little. "I'm guessing you came looking for him? Well hate to tell ya, but it's a lost cause. Your never finding them. Many have tried. Only Soar has come back untouched." I jumped a little at the mention of my father. "Well, do you have any useful info I could use?" I asked. "Yeah I do," Slash said sounding even more grumpy. "Give up, there's no finding them. They only find you." I shuddered a little at the thought of them jumping from no where. "Excuse him, he doesn't like hospitals. I saw them head north towards the Claws of the Clouds. My guess would be the're underground, so it'll be a long time before you even find a clue on where they're at." Sunstreaker said. "Sunstreaker, Slash. Thanks for your time." I said walking out. "Hang on. I have one question." Sunstreaker said. "How is Jade Mountain doing? I mean I've heard there were some things going on like a bombing. Also how are you liking it? I understand that some of them may not like you at first glance, but I know that there are people that like you. Hey what about that Clay guy, is he like your..." I stopped him there. "Ok that's enough. It's going fine, and we're just friends." Then Mayfly came in. "Ok that's enough talk, these guys need their rest. Especially grumpy there." She said pointing to Slash. I waved to them and left.

Back at the arch

"So did you guys find anything?" Clay asked. "Well, I found out that these guys mean serious business, and they went North to the Claws of the Clouds."I said, then I noticed the skywing. "Who's this?" Turtle looked a little irritated. "This is Skystrike, Carnelian's sister, who by the way is helping us." She smiled and waved. "And just as Peril said, they went north." Clay shrugged. "I didn't get much either." Suddenly his stomach rumbled. "I guess dinner is in order before we fly some more." Turtle said feeling a little hungry himself, though truth be told he might just be stalling for more rest.

Foliage POV:

"Are you sure he meant us?" Copper asked. "I'm positive. I overheard one of them asking where we flew." I said a little worried. "Well, then let's show them who they're messing with." Copper said smiling. "You know I find that smile very cute. I think you need to do it more often." I complimented. "Well, we can do that later." he said getting his knives. "Right now we have a small group of dragons to get rid of."

Turtle POV:

I managed to find us a good food stop to eat at. We sat down and we ordered our food, and Clay of course got the most expensive thing on the menu. "If you keep this up we'll loose money and be without good food." I said. "Hey, I'm being nice and I'm sharing with Peril." Obviously. For some reason, no an absolute obvious reason Sky got the exact same thing I ordered. I have a feeling she likes me, but I belong to Kinkajou. "Seems like you've got quite the friend huh?" Clay said winking. "It's not like that and you know it." I said a little bitterly. "Would you two calm down. I know it looks that way, but he's just the first friend I've had in a long time." Sky said interrupting us. "Oh look, the food." Peril said. Talk about saved by the bell. We enjoyed our meals. Clay and Peril shared a roasted sheep while Skystrike and I had slow cooked fish, which was actually better than raw. "That was pretty good. You made a good choice." Clay complimented. "I think we should find a place to spend the night." Sky said yawning. "Yeah same here, we need our strength for our journey ahead." We found an affordable hotel to stay in, but we all had to be in one room. Peril and Clay slept in one bed especially made for Peril, they seemed to be reserving it. Skysrike and I reluctantly shared a bed. It was almost as comfortable as a seaweed bed, almost. We all drifted asleep, thinking about what'll happen tomorrow.

We woke up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to go. I was still sleepy, but awake just enough to see that Skystrike was curled next to me hugging my arms. "Well this is awkward." I whispered. I'm really glad Kink isn't here to see this. I tried my best to pull away, but I ended up waking her. "Not now mom, five more.." She stopped when she realized her position. She let go quickly saying. "I'm so sorry. I forgot to tell you I get clingy when I sleep. Please don't hate me." I shushed her. "You're fine, I kinda had the same problem, but it's them I'm worried about." I motioned to the sleeping mass that was Clay and Peril tangled together. I looked out the window to watch the sunrise. "Beautiful right?" Sky whispered. "Eh, not as much as up top of Jade Mountain." She got a smirk on her face. "Do you take your special girl up there?" I rolled my eyes. "No. Well, sometimes." I said a little to loud, and Clay and Peril stirred a bit. "Morning guys, we got a lot of ground to cover." I said as they were getting up. "How long were you up?" Peril asked still partly asleep. "Not too long." I said and she sighed in relief. "So, we ready to go?" the rest nodded and we went out.

We figured we should get some food for our travel, and we where in the already crowded market. Skystrike got some fresh rabbits. The others were somewhere else. I was strolling through the crowded streets with Skystike at my side. "So when we find Peril's brother, what do we do then?" she asked. "I haven't thought that far." We continued. I found a salesman selling some fruit and figured that they would help. "My guess is when we do find him, we convince him to come back with us and.." she stopped. "And what?" I asked. She stared blankly in a random direction. I looked to where she was looking, and there was a pale orange skywing there, staring at us. "Just act casual, and let's make our way back to the others ok?" I said in a whisper. She nodded. Just before we left, I took another glance at the skywing: Gone. Like he was never there. "Let's move ok." We got back together and we told them about the skywing we saw. "I'm pretty sure it was him. One-hundred percent." Skystrike said. "It was just like Slash said. They find you. Wait they. There's more than one. We need to be careful ok." We agreed. Then a few dragons started to run away and some others were screaming. "Is it me?" Peril asked. I got a look over the crowd. "No, it's him. The skywing we saw. He's heading this way right now!" We decided to split up to make it harder to chase us. "Here we go. On with the danger." I said to myself running. "This is not how I planed today."
