Prismarine looked at Venus with fear.

Her talons tapped against the floor; Prismarine couldn't tell if it was annoyance or supposed to be menacing or just anxiety. Venus stood there, making no move, just looking at the three dragons in the cell. Darkmist, who was in the shadows, glaring at Venus with glowing eyes. Saturn, who was curled up on the mat, looking at Venus with sadness.

"I was going to give you some food today, but I guess you don't deserve any. Chia!" She yelled.

The SandWing from earlier appeared, and Prismarine looked at her with interest.

"Chia, watch them." Venus said.

Chia blinked, but she coiled up in front of the cell, acting like a dangerous python. Venus left, exiting the cell as if she moved directly through the bars, and she left Prismarine with the SandWing. The hybrid laid down, closing his eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~

He is inside of a lightly colored room, a large one. There is a large window on all sides, showing the vast desert. SandWings flit around in the sky, and he sees IceWings scouting the area, sending glares in his direction.

Oh, he thinks. These IceWings are looking for someone.

Possibly Hare?

The IceWing was a princess.

He is not sure why he is there; perhaps to be bait to a trap? He thinks that he is no longer inside the base his real body is in. He hears talking outside, and then the sounds of battle.

Perhaps that is his mother, father, and sister, come to rescue him?

Not likely; Father does not like him, and Mother is too busy being a pearl diver.

He looks at the wall, which then explodes into shards of the wall, and he is woken up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prismarine's eyes shot open, and he turned to look at Saturn in distress.

"Saturn, Saturn!"

He shook his friend awake.

The SandWing blinked sleepily at Prismarine.

"Whaaaaaaaaat." Saturn protested.

"I had another vision!" Prismarine muttered, lowering his voice.

Saturn didn't trust Darkmist, and Prismarine felt that he had to tell his best friend about his vision. Besides, maybe Saturn was right about him!

"When I fell asleep, I saw that I was in a larger version of this cell, except without the bars. The windows were bigger, too, and I could see the Kingdom of Sand outside my window. I heard chattering outside, and I heard some dragons fighting. Then the wall blasted open, and I woke up."

Saturn blinked.

"Really?" He finally said.

"Yes!" Prismarine said.

"Who were the dragons?" Saturn asked.

Prismarine looked at the wall.

"I didn't know; at first I thought they were Mother, Father, and Marine coming to rescue me."

Saturn looked away. "Doesn't your father hate you?"

He looked at Prismarine. "Anyway, I'm about to start the plan."

He headed over to the bars, lying down.

"So," he said to Chia, the SandWing. "Do you know where we are?"

Chia nodded. "Why should I tell you?"

"Because," Prismarine blurted. "One of us is very valuable to your plan."

Chia looked at him, suddenly interested. Her tail rattled across the floor.

"We're in the Kingdom of Sand. Also, Venus wants to talk to you."

Prismarine gulped.

"Okay."

The plan had begun.
