I would just like to say thank you to everyone who has favorited this story or reviewed it. It makes it all worth making this. Sorry it took so long to write this chapter, bass tournaments, and friends and building my own pc gets in the way quite well. Can't think of a song for this chapter so you can jam out to something you like... you probably do anyways.
Tsunami and Glory were walking out of Ruby's palace, just getting done explaining what happened to Scarlet.
"So, you didn't see anything, not even being able to tell what tribe they were from?" Tsunami asked Glory.
Glory shook her head, getting tired of the questions, "I already said that I couldn't see anything in the darkness, but if I had to guess from the accent, I would say Nightwing,"
"I can't believe that he got Peril before it was too late," Tsunami said getting ready to fly, "I am just happy that you're all still alive and unharmed,"
Glory shivered, remembering how terrifying it was being cornered in the dark like that, not being able to do anything about it, "So am I,"
"Let's go, we got to find out what we are going to do next," Tsunami said, taking off into the sky.
Glory clenched her eyes remembering what happened yesterday. Remembering what the voice told her, "Don't fret little RainWing, you'll know in due time,". After she blacked out, Tsunami burst into the room seeing them on the ground knocked out, but the dragon that attacked them was nowhere to be seen. Tsunami had sent one of the MudWing sibs for Sunny, to make sure they were ok.
Glory, Peril, and Clay only had slight migraines when they woke up, but Sunny was able to heal them like nothing had happened at all. They were shaken up though, and Sunny wouldn't be able to heal that. The first thing that Clay did when they woke up and were healed was tell everyone that they were going to keep training, something like this would never happen again.
"Glory, are you coming?" Tsunami asked her, hovering in the air waiting for her.
Glory shook her head, snapping out of her daydreaming, "Yes Mom, I'm coming,"
Tsunami snorted at the sarcastic remark and started for the camp they were all staying in.
Tsunami and Glory were now flying side by side, heading back to the others. "Glory, you weren't the only ones that had to face something troubling..."
"I know, but they weren't almost killed!" Glory shouted, but immediately regretted it. "I am sorry, I'm just really shaken up."
"We all were, Clay hasn't left Peril's side since they both woke up, and Sunny has been with that family that was attacked to make sure that someone didn't try anything again for almost all day now," Tsunami said.
Glory knew she was right, but still... she knew she was lucky to be alive.
They landed in the camp, a bunch of small stone huts all around each other.
Tsunami went to go talk with her sister. Clay and Peril were resting together, leaning on each other in their sleep. The MudWing sibs were chatting with one another about the day's events. And Starflight was reading one of his many scrolls, his silver teardrop scales next to his eyes glowing with the dying sunlight.
Icicle was in the back of the camp. leaning against a tree and brooding, as she always does.
Riptide was dozing off next to the fire, snoring quietly.
Sunny was quietly eating a lizard, till she saw Glory and got up.
"Glory, are you ok, do you need me to check on you again?" Sunny asked concerned.
Glory gave her a smile, "I'm fine, you did a good job the first time, as always,"
Sunny gave her a nod and laid back down, going back to finish off her lizard.
Glory sat down next to the fire, remembering the words once more. "Don't fret little RainWing, you'll know in due time,"
Glory frowned at that. The dragon acted like they would see each other again. He didn't act like he really wanted to kill them, And if he did, why not then, why later?
Glory's thoughts started to end, as she started to doze off to sleep.
Her eyes shot open, hearing something in the night. The fire was out now, casting darkness all throughout the camp.
Glory quietly stood up, trying to not wake anybody up. She walked over to where the sound came from, nothing was there.
"Stupid deer" Glory muttered, turning around. Something hit her hard in the head, blacking out.
A bright light shone into her eyes, making it hard to see anything. Her vision started to clear up, finally being able to see a shadow not too far away from her.
"Ahh, your finally awake!" the shadow said, enthusiastically.
Glory shot off the ground, throwing one of her talons forwards, wrapping vines around the shadow.
"Well, that's not very nice," The shadow muttered.
Glory turns red with anger, "You're the idiot that knocked me and my friends out at the stronghold!"
"I'm also the idiot that didn't kill you," The voice pointed out, not seeming to be worried, which irked Glory.
Glory walked forwards, now being able to see it was a NightWing, "Why didn't you kill us, we know that by now, the NightWings want us dead?"
"Oh yea, they want you very dead," the NightWing said, nodding his head, "It's just that... I don't,"
Glory furrowed her brow, Stonemover was right.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you know that the NightWing's wanted you dead?" the NightWing asked.
"None of your business!" Glory answered.
"But that's where you're wrong," the NightWing said, "My name is Deathbringer, royal NightWing assassin," the NightWing said bowing his head from his position he was tied up in.
"Why didn't you kill us?" Glory asked him. If she was worried, she never showed it.
"Because I learned long ago to not listen to everything you were told to do," Deathbringer started to explain.
"I was ordered just a few days ago to kill the famous "Dragonets of Destiny" because they had now gone rogue and were not listening to any of the plans the NightWings had set for them," Deathbringer frowned at the next memory, "But I didn't appreciate that very well, I had heard what you and your friends were doing, and I respected that, you were solving problems all around Pyrrhia and you weren't killing anybody." Deathbringer had a slight smile on his face, "I decided to not kill you and make sure that you succeed at what you're doing, I want to help you,"
"Oh yea, knocking us out is a great way of helping us!" Glory said, frustrated at the NightWing.
"I had to, I know for a fact that Morrowseer sent somebody to make sure I at least tried," Deathbringer explained.
"But you didn't kill us?" Glory asked confused.
"Do you not find it a coincidence that your SeaWing friend burst into the room right before I could kill you?" Deathbringer said cockily.
He is right, the last thing I remember before I went out is Tsunami bursting into the room. Glory thought to herself.
"As I said, I need your help, the NightWings have been orchestrating this war to keep it lasting, and I want to help you end that once and for all," Deathbringer said.
Glory let the vines loosen off Deathbringer, "Then come with me,"
Glory and Deathbringer's head snapped to the woods when they heard a twig snap, "I can't, I think I am still being followed, I'll meet up again with you again,"
"When will I see you again?" Glory asked him
Glory's head turned around when she heard another twig snap. She turned back around and Deathbringer was gone, "Soon" she heard the trees whisper to her.
I know, not a very big chapter. But, this chapter was wiping my arse. I don't know why, but I found it hard to make this chapter with all the irl things I was doing, with vacation, bass tournaments, college coming up, and church things. Now that college is coming in, I will have a lot more time to write.
