Um, hi everyone! I don't own WOF or any of the characters. I am sooooooo sorry it took so long for me to update!

FanFictionConnection-Thanks.

Secret-Yeah. I think I'll do that.

Guest-Thanks.

Zero-Thank You.

Saphina- : )

SaberDragon20-Good idea.

Kitty-Your characters sound awesome! Anyway, thanks for not murdering me.

I'm thinking of letting each of the dragonets have a few words (and claws) with Scarlet. But Glory and Deathbringer will have the honor of completely mutilating her, then placing her in prison for oh, say, forever! Sorry. I got carried away. On with the story!

A pitch black storm with blood-red lightning raged in Queen Glory's scales. Splendor shrank back, wondering what on earth could have caused it. "What did you say?" Glory asked, deathly calm. It scared Splendor even more than the shouting. "I-I-I said they haven't returned yet, my queen." She backed up another step as Glory's scales seemed to grow even darker, if that was possible.

"Leave me. I must speak with the council."

As a pale green Splendor flew off, assumably toward the nearest fruit tree, Glory began pacing across the court room floor. As the new queen, she had established a council that included the dragonets of destiny, Deathbringer, Grandeur, Jambu, and a few others.

Deathbringer rose from his place at the council and wrapped one wing around Glory, guiding her back to the head of the table. "Don't worry. Clay probably just found the motherload of melons or something. I'm sure they'll be back soon."

"Wait. When were they supposed to be back?" Mangrove asked. Normally, Glory wouldn't consult a RainWing about anything important, but Mangrove was one of the few sensible dragons in her tribe.

"Starflight said they'd only be gone for a week. They've been missing for three days now," Deathbringer said.

"You could try using the dream-visitor," suggested Jambu. All eyes turned to stare at him. "What?" he asked.

"Jambu, that might actually work! You're a genius! Er, that was smart of you," Glory said. "Thank you. Mangrove, bring me the dream-visitor. Deathbringer, I'd like to speak with you. Everyone else, you are dismissed."

After everyone left, Deathbringer asked, "What did you want to talk about?"

"Nothing really. I had an idea, but it's silly."

"What is it?"

"Well, I thought, maybe if we're touching when I go into Clay's dream, you'll be pulled into it too. I mean, who says the dream-visitor only works on one dragon at a time? Like I said, it's silly." Crimson whorls of embarrassment played around Glory's ears.

"No, it's a great idea. Devised by a great and powerful queen," Deathbringer said. Glory squashed the pink rosebuds forming along her wings. "Just one question though."

"Hmmm?"

"Why Clay's dream specifically?"

"I don't know. I just said the first name that came to mind."

Deathbringer hesitantly shifted closer to Glory and put one wing around her. She raised an eyebrow. (Do dragons even have eyebrows?)"What happened to the big bad assassin? If I didn't know better, I'd say you're just a big softie."

"I am not!"

"Sure you aren't."

"Glad to see you back to your sarcastic self again."

"Oh, so now I'm the sarcastic one? Like you're not?"

"Drama Queen." They sat together in silence, enjoying each other's company, and Deathbringer twined his tail around Glory's. She was just falling asleep against Deathbringer's chest when Mangrove came in with the pouch containing the dream-visitor hanging around his neck. She and Deathbringer leaped apart as the pink and blue waves in her scales gave way to dark purple with orange starbursts. Crimson spread over both rainwings.

"I, er, um," Glory took a deep breath to compose herself, assuming a queenly demeanor once more. Forcing a calm blue over her scales, she said, "Thank you, Mangrove. Um, you can have first pick of sun-time spots today."

"Thank you, Queen Glory." With a clumsy bow, Mangrove placed the dream-visitor on the floor and hightailed it out of there. Once he was gone, Glory reached out and placed one talon over Deathbringer's. With the other she held the dream-visitor to her forehead. She pictured Clay, his sweet, goofy grin, his loyalty to his friends, and voila, there he was.

"Clay!" Glory said happily. She didn't even bother to stop and kill the pink butterflies in her scales. Clay had apparently been trying to decide which fruit out of a large assortment to eat first, berries or melons, when Glory stepped into his dream.

"Glory! Deathbringer! How-"

"Dream-visitor," Deathbringer said. "Huh. It worked!"

"No! I didn't notice!" Glory said, rolling her eyes.

With a mock bow, Deathbringer said, "Clay, may I present, the Mistress of Mockery, Supreme Ruler of Sarcasm, Her Royal Snarkiness!" His shoulders shook with laughter, and Clay squashed smile.

"If you're done being complete idiots, we have an important message for you guys," Glory told Clay. The boys' laughter subsided. "Right. Now that we've sorted that out, where the crap are you guys? You've been missing for three days. Three days! Do you have any idea how worried I've been?!" Glory took a deep breath to get rid of the red that had begun to creep along her scales.

"We were captured by Scarlet. She's been torturing us for information."

"Wait. What information?"

Clay looked down and mumbled, "Shewantsustogiveheryourlocationbutwewon'tdoit."

"She what!? Three moons Clay! Why haven't you told her?" Glory asked.

Clay looked offended. "We wouldn't do that!" His form began to flicker. "No! I'm waking up! Scarlet must be back."

"Clay! Don't do this! Just tell her what she wants to know," Glory begged. "Wait, where are you being held?"

"I don't know! All we know is that we're underground."

"Just hold on! We'll find you!" And with that, Glory found herself back in the council room. She slowly raised her head, rage flickering in her eyes. "Deathbringer. Gather everyone in the pavilion. We're going to war."

Um, I'm really, really sorry about this, but I think I'm gonna put this story on hold for a while. Not too long, I hope. I just got a sudden inspiration for a Percy Jackson fanfic, and I'm just itching to write it. So, if you like that series, please please please check it out! Just click on the blue SukoreanWarlord next to my profile pic, for those of you who didn't know how to do that. Again, I'm really sorry, but I'll still read all your reviews! S' all for now. Bye!
