and was pretty rocky looking but what other choice did the girls have. They finally landed on the small island. "I doubt anything lives here" said Heather stating the obvious. None of the plant life had been eaten here and there was no meat for dragons to eat if there was something that inhabited the island. It was a ghost town of an island. "Well we need to find cover, it's gonna rain soon" Heather said looking at the clouds. "You're right, but where do we go? There's no caves around here" Astrid said, looking around. "There!" Heather pointed to a small cave-ish structure near the far end of the island.

Both girls walked over and found the cave covered by trees and brush carried by the wind. "This island is so weird," Heather observed. "I know right," Astrid agreed.

"That's weird, this side of the sea is usually warm this time of year" Heather remarked. "Well maybe it's because of all those clouds," Astrid pointed to the sky. It definitely looked like it would rain again. After they both had finished cooking their meal they once again went off to find where Stormfly and Windshear had gone off to. "I bet they're catching more fish," Astrid joked. "You're probably right," Heather laughed. Once again they looked all around the island. "This island is actually pretty nice when you're not in the middle of a storm" Heather remarked. "I agree. It's so relaxing
