They'd worked past midnight to finish writing the first part of the Book of Clearsight, where the NightWing had written her want of peace among the tribe.
Jasmin still didn't quite believe that a NightWing had wanted that instead of dominance over the world. They all wanted power and everything from anyone in the entire continent. Why not take over a whole other piece of land, then?
NightWings couldn't be trusted. Moon might have been different, but she had grown up in peace and with love and care. Jasmin knew that if Moon had grown up in the volcano, she'd be as good as dead with the RainWing-SandWing in her winglet.
As dead as Coyote was right now. Jasmin missed her SandWing father, and a pang of homesickness hit her as she thought of Euphoria.
If only Coyote was alive...maybe then I'd have been a different dragon. Maybe I wouldn't've shot Winter with my venom. Maybe I'd still be in Pyrrhia, sneaking out to see Coyote and hearing from him of the world outside the rainforest.
All this pain because of the NightWings.
"Jasmin?"
"Hm?" She snapped out of her thoughts. Cricket was looking at her expectantly.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine," Jasmin said absentmindedly. "Just missing my mother. And father, as always."
"Oh. Well, maybe you'll feel better if you get some sleep," Blue offered with a yawn. "Because that's what I'm going to do right now."
"Maybe I will," Jasmin sighed. She laid down at the edge of the water tank, careful that her tail didn't touch the water. "Perhaps I'll wake up fresh and ready to attack. Or defend."
She closed her eyes, letting the voices around her die down. Suddenly, she felt cold creeping up on her scales like ice. Jasmin opened her eyes to see Qibli standing right in front of her.
"Qibli? I must be dreaming," She muttered. "Hello? Dream-Qibli? Why am I dreaming about you and not the rest of the winglet?"
"Jasmin!" The SandWing cried. "It's really you! You're alive!"
"Of course I am," She said, confused. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Because I'm talking to you!" Qibli shouted, excited. "Moon's hearing this very conversation in her mind right now! I'm dreamvisiting you!"
