Okay I'm being totally lazy and just skipping to the part where they're in the Kingdom of Sand, because WHY NOT.
I stared out into the vast ocean of sand below me. This is not how I expected to be kidnapped, I grumbled. I thought it would be, you know, more action-packed? Maybe some actual fighting? HELLO? I sighed. All in all, it had been pretty interesting. Meeting all the MudWings, getting dreamvisited by Humpback, - Wait.
Humpback! I told him that the MudWing was heading toward the Kingdom of Mud, but really we're going to the desert . . . I think. Where else would we be going?
But now there's going to be a battle for me when that's not the case. Oh . . . if only I had a Dreamvisitor.
Maybe tonight. He could visit me tonight. I hope he does. Ugh, being kidnapped is SO ANNOYING and SO BORING. I just want to CLAW SOMEONE'S SNOUT OFF.
Calm down, Orca. You'll be okay.
I saw the MudWings angle down toward the sandy bottom of the desert near a circle of cacti. They nodded to each other. Slake, the biggest MudWing and the brownest came over to me an picked me up, taking me over to the circle, but the smallest one came over.
"Slake, I'll do it. You could damage the circle, or you might damage the princess. You know that's a crucial part; you can't damage her before Vulture gets here. Come on."
Slake grunted but handed me over to the small golden-amber one.
"Don't worry, little dragonet." She whispered to me. "I'm going to get you out of here. You just have to wait a while before I can reveal myself. It's okay."
I nodded slowly and the dragon (was this Sienna?) took me to the middle of the circle. She placed me down, and the others started putting cacti around me.
"Okay, I think it's whoever put the dragonet in the middle is supposed to light the cacti." The MudWing who grabbed me said.
"Are you sure about that Brunette?" Asked another MudWing. Fender, I remembered. And this nice one is Sienna. Brunette is the MudWing who grabbed me, and the MudWing who's standing next to Fender should be Pewter. And that's Auburn. I think her an Sienna are twins. Shame, Auburn looks pretty mean. They're so different.
"I, for one, think that Sienna should light it." Squelch said. Auburn gave a curt nod, narrowing her eyes at her sister. Jealous, I thought.
Sienna nodded in thanks and stepped closer to me. She took great aim to not hit me with her fire, and opened her mouth, releasing a get of flame. Now, me not being able to cringe away from the heat, started to sweat further. The ocean was cool and comforting, but the desert was hot and dry. I didn't need fire to add to it!
Sienna gave me a secret apologetic look while she continued to light the fires. Soon I felt like I was being burned and sacrificed to whoever this 'Vulture' character was.
Auburn and Squelch stepped forward, their spreading their wings to start a circle around the circle. Slake, Sienna, Mahogany, and Brunette joined in. Pewter and Fender looked hesitant, but they soon joined the circle.
Auburn opened her snout to say something. I tried to stop her from saying it, but the muzzle had been added again, so I stayed silent.
"Vulture!" Auburn yelled. "We have her! Come join us, Vulture!"
There was a flash of lighting, some noise, and I felt like I was being burnt to a crisp. I struggled with the bindings, but I couldn't move.
And then a SandWing stepped forward, putting out the fires and shoving aside the cacti.
"Perfect," He said. "I haven't been this happy for a long, long time."
