Wings of Power

Failure

New chapter, hope you were all devastated by that last chapter's cliffhanger. Oh hey, look, one of my least favorite characters in Wings of Fire!

Failure...

Clay's eyes snapped open as he rapidly stood up from his sleep, "STARFLIGHT!" He franticly looked around for the NightWing, not spotting him.

"They took him..."

Clay turned around to see a young female NightWing holding a rag against the RainWing Queen's head. He rapidly molded stone to his talons, preparing to jump at her.

The Queen slowly lifted a talon, "No MudWing, you will not harm this NightWing..." she groaned out in pain, "This NightWing is Moon, she is not like the rest of them..."

The stone around Clay's talons fell off, "All right... sorry."

Moon shook her head, "It's fine, I understand."

"Where is Glory?" Clay said frantic again, not seeing her.

The Queen pointed into the woods, "She is over there, still out cold," the Queen said as she slowly tried to stand up, Moon helping her up by giving her something to grab onto.

Clay tried to restrain a growl but failed as he remembered the NightWing Queen.

She made Burn's strength look like an absolute joke, strong enough to knock him out and fling him across the opening in one blow.

He walked the way the Queen pointed, finding Glory out on the ground. He gently shook her, waking her up.

Her eyes fluttered open, "Wha- what happened?"

Clay shook his head, "Starflight got captured,"

Her eyes shot open, "How?"

He shook his head, "I don't know how, but they found some way to break his control by getting rid of his shadows."

"What?"

"Battlewinner used her fire to light up the area around her and cut off his shadows," Clay explained.

Glory slowly stood up as she looked around, "We lost... didn't we," she said, looking at all the dying fires and trees around them that were charred.

Carinatus walked up to them, "Everyone loses once in a while dragonet, it's a part of life."

Glory gave her a look, "But your forest?"

Carinatus shook her head, "They actually didn't get much of it, we caught the fires before it spread too far."

Glory sighed, almost seeming to melt, "At least that didn't happen," She looked back up at Clay, "So how are we going to rescue Starflight?"

"You are talking about your NightWing friend, right?" Carinatus asked.

Glory nodded at the large RainWing.

"Then I have bad news," she said grimly, "We have no idea where the Night Kingdom is or how they got here."

Clay looked over at Moon, "Does she know?"

Moon shook her head.

Clay looked back down at Glory, "I'm sure Deathbringer would know?"

Glory nodded, "He would, but I have no idea when or even if I'll see him again."

Clay growled in annoyance, looking at the Queen, "Does anyone here have a remote clue where it's at?"

The Queen shook her head, "No, but we are getting worried about it, it seems like when the NightWings show up, they come from out of nowhere."

"What?" Clay asked confused.
