Sunny: "It's not true," Sunny said. "They wouldn't."
Tsunami: "They definitely would," said Tsunami. "They'll do anything if they think it's right for the prophecy." The dragonets, with the exception of Y/n who was looking down, and seemed to be glowing slightly, all looked at Glory, whose scales had gone pale green. Even her usual aloof expression was gone. She paced around Tsunami and Y/n's rock columns, lashing her tail.
Clay: "But we won't let them," Clay blurted. He was still panting and dripping icy water on the stone floor. "Right, Tsunami, Y/n? We'll stop them."
Y/n: "Of course..." Y/n said with a low growl. "They definitely won't touch her!"
Glory: "You don't have to get involved," said Glory. "This is my problem, not yours."
Tsunami: "How will you stop them?" Tsunami asked Clay, ignoring Glory and Y/n. "Even all of you together are no match for Kestrel, especially with Dune helping her. And Y/n, and I can't do anything." She bared her teeth and snapped at her chains, pulling the one around her neck dangerously tight.
Clay: "So we escape," Clay said. "Just like you wanted. We get you out of there and we escape, tonight. Right now."
Sunny: "Escape?" Sunny squeaked.
Glory: "Seriously," Glory said. Apple-red stripes flickered across her ruff like lightning. "You don't have to do anything. I'm the one that doesn't fit in. I'll-I'll fight her or-or figure something out..."
Y/n: "Of course we have to do something!" Y/n said fiercely as he struggles to escape the chains.
Starflight: "If escape were that easy, we'd have done it already," Starflight pointed out. He stepped around Glory, stood up on his back legs, and tapped on the boulder that blocked the entrance. "This is the only way out. And they have it rigged on a mechanism that only the big dragons can move."
Clay: "They do?" Clay ask as Starflight nodded.
Starflight: "You know how Dune never leaves, because he can't fly? He has a stone that fits in this slot." He tapped a grooved niche in the stone wall. "He turns it in here to unlock something so they can roll the boulder from inside the cave. But when Kestrel or Webs come from outside. there must be a lever or switch they use to open it from out there."
Clay: "Oh." Clay felt like an idiot for trying so hard to roll the big rock all these years. He'd never even noticed that Dune unlocked something before moving the boulder. He'd never thought twice about the oddly shaped stone that was always around the sand dragon's neck.
Sunny: "So can we steal Dune's rock?" Sunny suggested.
Glory: "Terrible idea," Glory said immediately.
Starflight: "They'd catch us for sure," Starflight said to Sunny, more kindly. "Especially tonight, when they're already on high alert because of Morrowseer."
Y/n: "Plus, the only actually able to even try to steal the key is Glory, and we all know what they would do if they find her."
Sunny: "Well, then what about the sky" Sunny asked.
Tsunami: "Is there any way to move the boulder without the rock?" Tsunami interrupted her. Starflight simply shook his head.
Starflight: "Only from the outside. It's impossible from in here. Believe me, I've thought about it."
Y/n: "And I've tried when no one was around. The weight along side the locking mechanism keeping it place makes it too difficult to try and move..." Y/n said, before an idea came to him.
"Maybe we could pick the lock... no that would take to long and no one here knows how to..."
