Sunny and Whisper stood on the edge of the mountain top that they were living in and let the cool breeze of the Pyrrhia wind blow past their yellow and ember bodies. Sunny was securing a small pouch to Euphemia's small body with some string.

Inside the pouch contained Whisper's earring, his dreamvisitor and 2 medium-sized fish. There was also a hood-like piece of cloth that was attached to the pouch that Sunny said was in case Euphemia disliked the sun in the rainforest, or if it rained.

"Are we ready?" asked Sunny, facing Whisper. He nodded, as the wind gently brushed over his wings.

He looked so dignified and so... Sure that he'd get back his dreamvisitor, so much so that it made Sunny worry. What if the rainforest burned down? The RainWings and NightWings wouldn't have any place to live in, and her friends would hate her.

She had to warn him.

"Uh, when we're there, don't set fire to anything. I heard that they kept the dreamvisitors in a wooden box, and so if you burn something they will burn up as well," she noted, hoping he'd believe her. It was a big risk and she was quivering.

"Hm? Alright. I'm not that good with fire, so I might burn myself," he replied with a soft exhale. "Let's go."

time skip...

The duo reached the rain forest in a short flight that took about half an hour or less. They landed softly on the damp ground that was covered with a blanket of dried leaves. Sunny's heart was beating fast - she hadn't been here in a few months and she was sure that'd she spot something familiar that led to the RainWing villa-

Sunny gasped. It was the tunnel that led - well, used to lead - to the SandWing Kingdom and IceWing territory. Well, it was blocked with a black rock now, so it was useless. But that meant one thing: They were here.

Sunny tried to contain her excitement and happiness, but failed to and tripped over a sleeping dragon. Wait what?! A sleeping dragon?

"Kinkajou!" Sunny gasped, accidentally of course. The little RainWing grumbled and shifted a little, but didn't wake up.

"Who?" Whisper asked. "Kinka- what? You know this dragon?"

"Um, no," she lied nonchalantly. "It's an expression when I fall over stuff. Let's continue."

The two SandWings continued to trudge on, and Kinkajou turned a leafy green to match the forest. The RainWing crawled up to Sunny and whispered, "I heard that," while smirking. Sunny just rolled her eyes, but was happy to hear a familiar voice again.

It was only a matter of time when they reached the village, and the plan would commence.
