CHAPTER 7
Dragonfly's Rescue: The Poison Jungle
"Are they just going to follow us?!" asked Longhorn the HiveWing.
Swordtail, with Lucia on his back, later turned around with Lucia.
"They're actually following us." said Swordtail.
"Fly faster!" yelled Geoffrey from the ground while on his white horse. "I'm riding as fast as I can!"
"Geoffrey, we're not Pyrrhian SkyWings!" yelled Luna. "We can't fly as fast as them!"
"That so does it!" yelled Atala.
"Atala!" yelled Swordtail.
Atala flew right past Swordtail.
"I guess we have no choice." said Lucia.
Swordtail zipped through Pantala to get to the Poison Jungle.
In the Poison Jungle, Belladonna and Hemlock, two LeafWing parents who raise their LeafWing daughter Sundew, had just gotten the news of Dragonfly and his rescue. However, Sundew wondered what humans were doing in Pantala.
"Sundew, that term is offensive to the people responsible for Dragonfly's rescue." said Sundew's father Hemlock.
"Why is it?" asked Sundew.
"I don't know; I don't understand their cultures." said Sundew's mother Belladonna.
As Sundew walked away from her parents, Cobra Lily, a female LeafWing, had told the LeafWing family that Dragonfly and his group were on the way to the Poison Jungle. While it was good news that Dragonfly was safe, the bad news was that Wasp and every single one of her sisters were after them.
"Sundew, sweetheart, if Queen Sequoia is with the group, you must go with her." said Belladonna.
"Your mother's right." said Hemlock. "We can't get involved with her again."
"...Yes." said Sundew.
Queen Sequoia later landed in the jungle. When Belladonna and Hemlock caught her, they had asked her to take Sundew.
"Very well, then." said Sequoia.
Geoffrey later ran into the jungle as Swordtail and Luna landed; Geoffrey dismounted from his horse.
"Who's this?" asked Belladonna.
"And who's that?" asked Belladonna.
"Oh, the beorc who saved Dragonfly." said Swordtail. "They are beorc siblings Geoffrey and Lucia. Apparently, Wasp is a very racist HiveWing towards these people."
"And they exposed her." said Lucia.
Belladonna and Hemlock introduced themselves to Geoffrey and Lucia. When Elincia and Bastian landed with Longhorn the HiveWing and Atala and Io the SilkWings, the former introduced themselves to Belladonna and Hemlock.
"So are they the four people saving Dragonfly?" asked Sundew as she walked with Sequoia.
"Yes, Sundew." said Sequoia. "They are."
Sundew and Sequoia kept walking as Dragonfly later landed in the Poison Jungle.
"Don't ever think that Wasp and her wicked sisters will find us here." said Dragonfly.
Apparently, Wasp caught them with her sisters Tsetse and Bloodworm.
"Never mind." said Swordtail.
Sequoia turned around and later took Sundew away for safety reasons.
"Catch those LeafWings!" yelled Queen Wasp.
"OK, that's it!" yelled Belladonna. "You're not going after my dragon daughter and our queen."
"Belladonna's right." said Hemlock. "You and your sisters leave the territory right now!" yelled Hemlock.
"No, we are not leaving without the blood samples of Dragonfly." said Bloodworm.
"OK, now you're making stuff up." said Geoffrey. "You never said anything about a blood sample out of Dragonfly."
"I did prior to your stupid arrival!" yelled Wasp. "Bloodworm overheard it."
"So if you don't want a thing of HiveWing Toxin from our noble Wasp, then I suggest you leave the Poison Jungle now!" yelled Tsetse.
"No!" yelled Belladonna. "This is our home!"
"It doesn't look like we care if this was your home or someone else's, Belladonna." said Tsetse. "In fact, we don't care about any other dragon but ourselves, the sisters of Wasp and Wasp herself."
"...That's it." said Bastian.
Bastian later cast the spell Excalibur, a powerful Wind spell, at Tsetse and Bloodworm. Both of them were fearing for their lives and flew back to the Hives.
"What's going on?" asked the SilkWing Queen Monarch.
"Bloodworm and Tsetse were starting their shit with us." said Bastian. "So, I decided to blow them away."
"Good job, Bastian." said Luna. "Little did we know we have wind magic users here."
"So they think they can scram away my sisters…Pitiful." said Wasp. "Not even my deceased mother would be pleased with the actions of humans."
"Queen Wasp of HiveWings, leave this area at once!" yelled Dragonfly.
As Wasp was about to strike Dragonfly, Geoffrey, using his Silver Greatlance, scratched Wasp on the chest, ripping open her skin, and leaking out green blood. Wasp was left injured from Geoffrey.
"Terrible." said Dragonfly.
Everyone flew back to Cicada Hive. However, Wasp's sisters were following them, wanting to seek out revenge for Geoffrey injuring their beloved sister.
