[Hello again! Next three chapters are out, as you already know since you're reading it right now.. Welp, I hope you like them. XD]


    "That was a close call," Mako said with concern as he finished wrapping Feather in gauze. RedRunner curled his tail toward his legs in sadness.

    "Where did you even find her to get such horrible wounds?" Admiral Kenobi asked, examining the pitiful looking SkyWing. RedRunner didn't respond.

     Would it be rude to ask him if he knew where Flint and Anarchy were? I mean, I am defying Queen's orders already by even letting RedRunner in here without punishment.. Admiral Kenobi wondered.

    "She was attacked by a few large bears," RedRunner spoke up suddenly.

    "Well, that'll do the trick," Mako stated, pursing his lips. RedRunner lowered his gaze.

     The three of them were alone in the infirmary, waiting for Feather to respond to anything. She was still breathing, yes, but very shallowly and un-rhythmically.

     Mako had to keep an eye on her at all times. RedRunner insisted on being there, and Admiral Kenobi was there because the only better thing to do was go guard the empty prison.

    "Oh!" Mako exclaimed while leaping up in shock.

    "I just noticed something else about the patient!" he announced with excitement.

    "What is it?" RedRunner asked in a panicky tone. Admiral Kenobi leaned forward in expectation.

    "This dragoness is expecting an egg!"

     The room went silent again. RedRunner stared between Mako and Feather in disbelief.

    "Wow," the Admiral commented, looking pointedly at RedRunner. The fireless SkyWing gazed down at his talons in embarrassment.

    "That must be what she had to tell me!" he admitted. Mako and Admiral Kenobi watched as RedRunner proceeded to back up and plop down on the floor, still in shock.

    "I'm gonna be a father.." he breathed, clutching his head. Admiral Kenobi exchanged a glance with the SeaWing. The two of them had just stood there while the scarlet SkyWing took this stunning news in.

    "Well, I promise to be a better father than Arson was..." RedRunner growled.

    "Who is Arson?" Mako asked.

    "Well, obviously Arson is his and Flint's father," Admiral Kenobi deflected.

    "Makes sense," Mako shrugged.

    "Speaking of Flint, do you happen to know where your brother or Anarchy are?"

     RedRunner glanced suspiciously at the Admiral. He fluttered his wings.

    "I happen to know not of my brother's whereabouts," RedRunner replied blankly.

     Just then, a loud roar sounded from the throne room drawing all three of their attention to it.

    "QUEEN REDWOOD OF THE SKYWINGS, AS PRINCESS ANARCHY, PRINCESS OF THE SKYWINGS, I CHALLENGE YOU FOR THE SKYWING THRONE!!"
