A/N — By the way, before we start, if you notice any plotholes or grammar errors, please point them out! And if you have any suggestions or tips, feel free to PM me! I'm always open to constructive criticism, just don't be too rude :>

"Wake up," a voice called, muffled, "Wake up, Leopard, wake up!"

She awoke in a strange cherry-like forest— on a floating island? Where was she? The grass was a soft pink-tinted green, and 

"You are in the mindspace," a dark purple sandwing-nightwing appeared before her, "I am Star."

"Wait, if I'm here, then... oh no. I AM DEAD."

"You aren't de—"

"I'M DEAD AND THE EXPLOSION KILLED ME AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A PURPLE IDIOT IN A WEIRD FOREST ON A FLOATING ISLAND IN WHATEVER THE HECK THE 'MINDSPACE' IS!"

"YOU AREN'T DEAD, LEOPARD!", Star replied, very loudly.

"Oh. I'm not? Why aren't my talons burnt? The last thing I remember is... Firestorm! She- she saved my life"

"Yes, indeed she did. This is the work of fate. I've wanted to talk to you for a while, but never had the chance. I need to warn you of something."

"Warn me? Why? And the work of fate, what?"

"Danger is coming. Someone is plotting to kill you. Do not return to the rainforest, and don't trust any outsiders except for the seawing."

"Seawing? What seawing?"

"The dragonet of the prophecy. Your friends will meet him shortly."

"Do you know his name?"

"Unfortunately, I do not. The path ahead of you is unclear. Many things can and will change. There are futures where the seawing dies and the prophecy is never fulfilled. There are futures where a battle happens in the near future and half of the skywing population is murdered. Anything can happen."

"Is Firestorm okay?"

"Got a thing for the firescales, eh?", the hybrid winked.

"Did you just- Did you just wink at me?", Leopard replied, her face flushing.

"Yes. And the skywing is all right physically, mentally, however.. She's beginning to think that you're dead. It is most definitely not good for her mental health. I suggest waking up soon."

This was not good. "How, though?"

"You know, I honestly forgot. I lost my 'Guide to Being Dead' handbook."

"WHAT?"

"Just kidding! All you have to do is THINK about waking up, and you will! Because that's totally how dreams work."

"You are the weirdest dragon I've ever met," the rainwing said before waking herself up as Star had instructed.
