Writer-Rabbit-Newsie-Grace: *More fangirling* Sorry I haven't gotten 'round to reading this! I'm finally catching up now lol

Oh, tension's building! Super excited!

Can I ask what happened to keeper Clout? Please tell me he's not dead :'(
I love the fluff...Oh, the. Fluff.

Oh, interesting! This is coming to a good climax, I can feel it. I loved Leeli and Kal doing fluffy bro-sis stuff XD I just did!
And might I suggest giving your minor characters, especially the ship's captain, bigger personalities? I find that when I give my minor characters a sort of depth it really helps move the story along.

I feel like an overstretched guitar string with all this tension! (So, that was a bit of a strange metaphor, but...)

This is getting...Interesting! I'm excited. I really love the idea of Sara hating cooking, XD that made me laugh!

*Dies of excitement and cliffhangers*
. !

RainyDayReading342:I like the idea of "fighting a battle they thought they never had to again" line. It is very in depth. Also these cliffhangersssssss XD I loved KGWingfeather's comment XDD Very good!

KGWingfeatherFan: "Fight! Fight for the dead and the living! For the hills and the Hollows and the Shining Isle!"

Yes, I memorized it! Kal is my fav character, so…
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS!
But pls continue!
Maker keep them safe!

THRONE WARDEN: I'm so glad yall like it! Also, to reply to Grace, Clout is not dead. In book 4, it mentioned him as a temporary keeper, so, yeah. He's not dead. In reply to KGWingfeatherFan, that quote is probably one of the best quotes in the Wingfeather Saga. My TTH (The Thwap House) brother is probably the World's Biggest Fan of Kalmar, and he is all about Kal. So, I hear A LOT about Kalmar on a daily basis.

Also, I'm trying to think of a better FanFiction username. One that isn't so basic as THRONE WARDEN. I was kind of leaning to "A Wingfeather Girl" but I...don't really know if I'll use it.

I NEED NAME IDEAS PLEASE.

"Are we almost there?" The captain asked, running up to Janner.

Janner looked out in the distance. "Yes! We are! I can see the docks from here!"

The captain smiled, but is quickly faded when he saw the Fang army descending onto land. "We need to hurry!"

Janner nodded his head. "Wait...I have an idea!" He took two fingers into the tip of his mouth and blew a high-pitched, shrill whistle.

"What are you doing?" The captain asked, as several of the ships crew turned their heads in confusion.

Janner grinned. "Calling for help."

Suddenly, a large sea dragon burst out of the water. It roared, then quickly turned to the ship.

"What in the world are you doing?!" The captain asked, fearful of the dragon.

Janner smiled, then went to the edge of the ship, and reached his hand out for the dragons snout. The blue dragon nuzzled Janner's hand. The captain noticed Janner whispering a few words to the dragon.

Once Janner finished, he pulled his hand back as the dragon swam under water. Then, everyone felt the ship lurch forward, sailing through the water at an impossible speed.

"What did you do?!" The captain shouted over the deck.

Janner grinned. "I told Aryzuth to escort us home."

"Aryzuth?!"

Janner laughed. "The sea dragon you saw, his name is Aryzuth. I told him to escort us home."

"HOW!?"

"By speaking to him, and asking him."

The captain was very confused. "And he...understands you?"

Janner nodded his head. "Yes, and I understand him."

The captain muttered something about Wingfeathers and Dragons having some special connection. "Well, it seems to be working. Look!" He pointed.

Already the ship was coming up to the docks.

"We'd better hurry into the river!" Janner said loudly. He closed his eyes and began to mutter something. Suddenly the ship turned into the river Rysen.

"What are you doing?" The captain asked.

Janner opened his eyes and looked at the captain. "Telling Aryzuth to take us into the river!"

"HOW!?"

Janner chuckled. "Since he is so close to me, I can hear his thoughts. So, he can hear mine. It's quite simple really, I can hear and understand Dragons and their thoughts. The same is with the Dragons and me."

The captain shook his head and muttered something about things getting even more confusing.

"Sir!" Joseph shouted from the top of the lookout cabin. "We're nearing Rysentown!"

The captain gasped as he saw Rysentown come into view. The ship slowed down, and pulled to a halt right in front of the dock. Janner along with the rest of the men jumped out of the ship, into the river, and swam to the dock.

Annierans were everywhere in the town, and flooded to see the sailors.

"What's going on?" Artham asked, noticing how many of the Annieran citizens were flooding towards the river.

Kal stood up. "I don't know! Let's go see." He ran into the crowd, and rushed to the river. Artham followed, but quickly decided to fly above the people.

When they reached the river, they found the Annierans tending to some Annieran sailors. Kal looked at them all, realizing they were the same crew that was sent to Ban Rona to ask for help. He looked around the crew, who were sitting in the grass, and finally found his brother.

"Janner!" Kalmar and Artham rushed to him.

Janner, who was sitting in the grass talking to the local Annierans, looked at his brother and uncle and stood up to hug them.

"Ouch! You didn't have to squeeze me to death." Janner laughed when Kal hugged him.

Kal stepped out of the hug. "Sorry, just missed you."

"We both did." Artham said as he hugged Janner.

Janner smiled at them both. "Where's everyone else?" he asked, his eyes roaming over the crowd of Annierans, searching for the rest of his family.

"They're in the safe room." Kal explained. "To keep them safe from the Fang attack."

Janner's smile faded. "Have they attacked yet?"

Artham shook his head. "No, not yet, but we've got the warning signal that they're nearing the shore."

Janner sighed. "When we passing into the Gulf of Anniera, we saw the amount of ships there are. It's triple the amount that we had when Ban Rona was attacked the second time."

Kal's eyes widened. "Then we don't have much chance at winning."

Janner sighed again. "The Hollish fleet should arrive soon. We were escorted by a Hollish ship, but Bunge promised that we'd get more soon."

"How'd you get here so fast?" Kal asked.

Janner grinned. "I called Aryzuth, and he pushed us into the river."

"Nice." Artham smiled.

Suddenly another warning horn went off.

"They're descending onto the shore!" A watchmen ran into the town shouting.
