Silver hadn't slept well, it seemed like Darkstalker was trying even harder to torture Red. Red had tied his snout close with vines to prevent himself from screaming in his sleep, but Silver could still hear him wincing and groaning in pain. Silver felt terrible that he couldn't do anything to help Red, but until they had the Dreamvisitor, he couldn't help him.

Red suddenly jolted awake, fear and pain filled his eyes as he started to hyperventilate, tears of fear fell from his face as he looked off blankly in the distance. Silver could instantly tell Darkstalker did something horrific to Red. Silver wrapped his wings around Red as he stared off blankly in horror.

"Red... What happened?" Silver asked, he was scared of the answer, Red didn't say anything for a few moments before he started sobbing slightly. Silver comforted Red until he stopped, Red the stuttered, "Darkstalker... He... He forced me underwater and pulled my head out before I died, when that didn't work he made a pit of spiders and threw me in it...." Silver saw fear in Red's eyes as he then said, "...He then... He... He forced me to watch illusions of thousands of dragons dying, because of me..." His voice seemed to get stuck in his throat.

Silver comforted Red with a tight hug, Red calmed down slightly, his breathing slowed down as he then said, "We... We should go, the sooner we get to Jade Mountain, the sooner all this stops." Silver nodded, Jade Mountain was only a few hours of flying away but both of them were tried from a lack of sleep the pass few days.

As Silver was preparing to go, suddenly Red tapped Silver on the shoulder, Silver turned to see Red holding two small purple stones that glowed slightly, "Silver, I think this is skyfire, we should use this to prevent anyone from finding out about... Basically everything we know and about Darkstalker being in my dreams, they might not like that to say the least..." Silver nodded in agreement taking the gemstone.

Red took out the small gemstone in his necklace and replaced it with the skyfire, Silver was having trouble figuring out where to put his but he had an idea, he spun a little bit of flamesilk around the skyfire making a small bracelet. As they both got done the began to fly toward Jade Mountain.
