Alright, just a couple of things here before I begin. To the review of Cheryl Hadden ; exactamundo, we'll be getting to that in this chapter. Also I must say that I did not intend for Magiah to appear so early in my stories. You see, he's a Spyro the dragon OC, and I originally planned to show him in Spyro's universal adventures, but seeing how I've been lacking updates for that, and of how Magiah is just the dragon for the job of being this story's villain, yeahh, You get the idea. oops made a mistake with first line, just keep on reading and don't know how to fix it. Well here we go.

Chapter 2 – connections

Deathbringer found himself crashing into Fatespeaker, "Hey, watch where you're flying." He grumbled as the two of them hit the ground

Fatespeaker gasped, "Deathbringer, why are you flying this way?"

"I could ask you the same thing." Deathbringer started to pick himself up.

"Well it's because something has happened, Starflight is acting strange." Fatespeaker explained.

Deathbringer was shocked into silence for a minute; putting a talon to his chin he thought about what she said, "I guess he's not the only one, Glory too, has changed.

"Wait what? Are you kidding? Is her personality what changed?" Fatespeaker asked, startled.

"Yeah, don't tell me, Starflight too seems to have a different personality, am I right?" Deathbringer guessed.

Fatespeaker's wings drooped, "Exactly, but how could this happen?"

Deathbringer took a step back in surprise, "I have no idea, not even animus dragons could do this, well as far as I know. They must be playing a prank on us; I wouldn't put it past Glory to do that. They must have talked about it last night; I bet she used a dreamvisitor."

Fatespeaker gasped at his theory, "But Starflight wouldn't do something like that, no way, no how."

"Well it's the best I've got, do you have better?" Deathbringer said skeptically.

"I don't know, what did Glory act like?" Fatspeaker asked, wondering how she changed in relation to Starflight.

Deathbringer breathed in, "Well ever since she woke up, she's been acting lazy, and not so fierce."

"That does sound like the opposite of her; like with Starflight. He acted like he didn't care about Sunny, also he didn't once give a fact about something. I just know something has happened to him." Fatespeaker observed. She breathed a small plume of fire as she thought about what was going on.

"I think they're all pulling a prank, after all, just how do you suspect they could have their personalities changed. There's just no way that could happen." Deathbringer dug his claws into the moist ground beneath him in frustration.

"Well I just don't know, I'm not getting any visions." Fatespeaker sighed.

"You really believe you do have visions don't you? Well even if you did, I don't know how they could help." Deathbringer said, amused at her stubborn belief.

"Of course I have visions, no one believes me though," Fatespeaker frowned at him, "if only I could discover what is going on."

Deathbringer felt a twinge of pity for her, it wasn't everyday you were doubted by everyone you know, "So now what should we do? I mean should we just go back to the village or should we go and try to find the others?"

"Well if we went searching for the others, we might end up missing them; after all they could be coming this way. However, I don't feel I can face Starflight as he is." Fatespeaker mulled over the choices.

"How about we just wait out here, maybe someone will be coming our way in a few day's time." Deathbringer suggested.

Meanwhile, Riptide sighed, "I'm sorry but you won't be able to talk to Tsunami." He just encountered the notorious Peril.

"How come?" Peril asked, "And you know what, I think I've heard of you before."

"Well I ought to do an introduction first. I'm Riptide, wait you were there, at the Sandwing palace, burning out the venom in Clay's leg." Riptide exclaimed.

"Yeah that was me, and I guess you already know who I am. If I remember correctly, Clay told me about you. Aren't you the Seawing that Tsunami fell in love with?" Peril replied.

Riptide looked away, sort-of embarrassed, "Is it that obvious? Well, why did you want to talk with Tsunami?"

"Oh right," Peril said, forgetting the point of coming to the sea kingdom, "you see, something's happened to Clay."

Riptide jerked his head back to look at the Skywing, "What's happened to him?"

"Well, you see, ever since this morning, Clay hasn't been acting like himself; it's as if he's an entirely new dragon." Peril explained.

"Okay, that's really weird." Riptide said, shocked at the thought that the cases of Clay and Tsunami were alike.

Peril however didn't notice what Riptide meant, "What do you mean by that, something has changed in Clay." She growled threateningly.

"Whoa, calm down. You see, Tsunami has been acting strange as well." Riptide backed up, his tail sweeping some ash and dirt.

That statement got Peril's attention, "Tsunami too?"

"Yeah, Her Majesty, Anemone and the council told me that Tsunami was acting much less fierce, and more obedient. What I did get to see of her was that she looked subdued." Riptide looked around at the ruins of the palace, reminiscing the few days he spent with Tsunami.

"By the moons, that sounds just like the opposite of her, from what I did see of her while in the sky kingdom, she was quite a fighter." Peril's look was one of surprise, and then the reality dawned on her, Clay was acting like the complete opposite of himself as well, "You know what? Clay has been acting like that too, he was much less caring and he even gave a fact about something. If anyone gives facts, it's Starflight. Clay often forgets stuff, not the other way around." Peril noticed a connection to the two dragonet's changes.

"Whoa, this is all kinds of different. How do you think this happened to them, and if its happened to them, maybe the others have been affected also." Riptide noticed.

"Well, I don't know of any animus that could do something like this. It's actually rather scary, if what happened to Clay and Tsunami, and maybe even the other three, well I don't think I'd want to know what would happen if we changed too." Peril shivered despite the smoke rising from her scales.

"Oh yeah, that is a rather scary thought. Well what do you think we should do. I think we should go to the rainforest to see Starflight and Glory, and from there, the sand kingdom, thanks to the tunnels." Riptide suggested.

"Yeah, we should. In fact, why don't we make this quicker, I'll race you there. Oh wait, I won't be able to go to the rainforest, no thanks to my curse." Peril said excited but then frowned.

"We can deal with that once we get there, but first we have to get there. All right, let's get moving." Riptide said, already flapping his wings and turning to the direction of the rainforest.

It took the duo of Riptide and Peril several days to cross through Pyrrhia, stopping only to rest and eat. They knew that something was up and that they had a clue on what was going on. Soon they came across two Nightwings resting on the ground by the border that would enter the dense rainforest. They recognized them as Deathbringer and Fatespeaker, friends of Glory and Starflight. What are they doing out here? Riptide thought to himself as they flew over to them.

Thorn was flying through the desert as fast as she could, clutching the black glass in her talons. She wanted to get over to the rainforest as fast as possible, hoping someone would have an answer for Sunny's irrational behavior. She knew she could also visit Stonemover, but she did wait about seven years for a reunion, so she could wait a few more days. It was once she flew by a peak of Jade Mountain that she had a terrifying thought, what if what if happening to Sunny is of her own will? Might I have done to something to anger her? Thorn shuddered at the thought. It was a couple days later, that the new Sandwing queen arrived at the rainforest border, which looked rather empty. As she set down on the moist ground, she noticed that there was some smoke coming around a bend in the trees. Silently, she walked around and found two Nightwings lying down on the ground with a controlled fire keeping them warm. Looking up into the sky, Thorn saw a Seawing and a Skywing flying this way also. It was once those two landed that she recognized them; they were Peril, whom helped her rescue Sunny; and Riptide, whom was also at the stronghold when she became queen.

The Nightwings jumped up in surprise, Thorn then noticed them to be Deathbringer and Fatespeaker; "Hey what brings you two out here?" Riptide asked.

Deathbringer spoke up, "Well there has been some problems in the rainforest."

"What have you done now?" Peril asked humorously.

Fatespeaker looked offended, "We haven't done anything, Glory and Starflight haven't been themselves for the last couple of days."

That got Thorn's attention, so she decided to reveal herself, "Would this have to do with their personalities?"

The four other dragons jumped in surprise as the new Sandwing queen walked into view, "When did you get here, your, uh, new Majesty?" Riptide looked at her.

"Just a couple of minutes ago, and by the way, just because I'm the new Sandwing queen doesn't mean you need to call me by the title, just call me Thorn, alright?" Thorn wasn't used to be called by a title.

"Oh alright, so why are you here?" Deathbringer asked.

"Well I think we are all here for a reason, I bet you something has happened to Sunny right?" Fatespeaker guessed.

Thorn growled, "That is right, for the last few days, Sunny has been acting differently."

"Just like Tsunami and Clay." Peril assumed

"And Glory and Starflight." Deathbringer finished.

"By all of the moons, I think we have a huge problem." Thorn gasped.

"Let me get this straight, Clay, Glory, Starflight, Tsunami, and Sunny all have their personalites changed. This is so not good. Does anyone know why this has happened?" Deathbringer started pacing on the ground, "Cause the only theory I have, you probably wont agree with."

"Enlighten us." Peril commanded.

"Well the only thing that makes sense to me is that during the night before this started, they must have talked through a dreamvisitor and decided to play a joke on us. I bet Glory organized this." Deathbringer explained.

"Clay wouldn't agree to that." Peril gasped.

"That's absolutly rediculous! Sunny would never do that, the way she acted, that's just completely unlike her!" Thorn roared, her tail ready to strike.

"Um, sorry?" Deathbringer backed away from the angry Sandwing.

Thorn calmed down after a minute but her tail was still lashing the ground, "sorry about that, but Sunny would not agree to that. As a mother, it's something I have to know."

Deathbringer blinked, during Thorn's outburst she forgot she held the black glass object. "Uhh Thorn, is that what I think it is?" Without waiting for an answer, he went up to her and took it out of her talons.

"What are you doing?" Thorn growled.

"Where did you get this?" Deathbringer asked as he admired the object.

Thorn narrowed her eyes, "It was buried in a sand dune, why?"

"This is the Obsidian mirror, this can allow someone to listen in on other's conversations." Deathbringer explained.

"Fourth moon and fireballs, so that's where I recognized it from! Sunny told me about how she took that from Fierceteeth and those other two. So how did it work again?" Thorn exclamed as she remembered Sunny talking about the enchanted object.

"All you have to do is say a name and breath smoke into the mirror, lets try Sunny." Deathbringer said and breathed into it.

At that time, a gold tinted tendral of smoke came out of the Obsidian Mirror, "But I don't want to go check the treasury." That was Sunny's voice!

Another tendral appeared, this one paler, "But since Queen Thorn isnt here it should be your job." It was Six-Claws speaking, then Deathbringer cleared the mirror.

Thorn gasped, "I forgot to tell them where I was going, oh no."

"Well that certanly didn't sound like Sunny, at least in terms of what she would say." Fatespeaker observed.

"Well the Obsidian Mirror could still be useful." Riptide said thoughtfully.

Just then, some one came flying out of the trees; it was Jambu. "Uh you guys, Grandeur wanted me to give something to you." He presented the dreamvisitor that was once a part of the Sandwing treasure.

"Well, now you can tell someone where you went, as soon as they fall asleep that is." Deathbringer remarked.

"Wait a second, that's totally it! I can't believe I didn't think of it before!" Fatespeaker exclaimed with a slap to her head.

"What are you talking about?" Peril asked.

"The same morning that this all started, I had a dream. In it, there was this purple dragon, he had yellow-gray horns and his eyes were red. Also, in the backround, Starflight and the others were perched on platforms but they were upside-down." Fatespeaker remembered what she could about the dream.

"Well that dragon is probably the suspect we want. Do you remember anything else?" Thorn asked.

"Yeah, I think there was a name right before I woke up; Magiah." Fatespeaker recalled.

"Uhh, I don't know what's going on here, but if you guys are trying to fix Glory and the other four, well I want to join you." They all noticed that Jambu was still there.

"Uhh no offense, but it's not like you are very useful, Jambu." Deathbringer replied.

"Oh come on, I can be useful." Jambu's scales turned orange, "Please let me come, I am Glory's brother, so I should help take care of her."

"Oh alright, first off we should go find that dragon that lives in the Jade Mountain. Maybe they could help." Peril said.

Thorn dug her claws into the ground, this was going to be fun.
