Wings of Fire: The Hurricane BraceletBook One of: The New Seven

Chapter 12

               In front of them was a 100-foot drop. There were supposed to be stairs there; Hurricane was sure of that. But it wasn't the drop that surprised him and Fire-Claw. The drop opened up to a huge open field, kind of like an underground courtyard. In the courtyard, were hundreds of MudWings. Hurricane knew they were alive due to occasional sighs and movement of wings.

Then something else caught his eye. Blue flashes of light coming from the far right corner of the field. Another SeaWing! thought Hurricane. He then could see that the SeaWing was speaking in Aquatic, the underwater language of the SeaWings. He or she said, "Who are you?" Hurricane answered back in Aquatic and said, "I am Prince Hurricane here with Fire-Claw of the SkyWings. What is your name?"

"Reef," said the SeaWing, again in Aquatic. "Me, Queen Moohren, and the entire MudWing tribe are down here. Some help is, um, would be very helpful."

"I'll go get my friends," answered Hurricane. "If you are near the Queen, tell her help is on the way."

"Okay."

Hurricane paused for a moment and looked up at the ceiling. "Fire-Claw. Do you see that giant chandelier up there?"

"Yes."

"Go up there and set it on fire. I think it is wooden. We are going to need some light in this room. I'll get the others."

Fire-Claw spread her wings and shot to the chandelier and shot burst of flame onto it. Meanwhile, Hurricane went back through the tunnel to find the others there. He motioned for them to follow and they went down the center passage. By the time they arrived, the room was fully lit, and Hurricane could make out numerous wounds on most of the dragons. He saw several MudWings flying towards him and he could recognize Queen Moorhen among them. He had seen her once when he was only 2 months old and could hardly talk. She looked older however. Wiser. Ish.

When she and her siblings, he guessed, landed near him, the Queen looked at him with relief and said, "Thank goodness you arrived!" Her brothers and sisters muttered in agreement. Then Hurricane asked, "Who or what did this?"

"An army of dragons," stated the Queen flatly. "Most of them IceWings, but from all seven tribes. They were lead by a SeaWing with numerous black marks on him. There was also this DEVIL of an IceWing! She cut through twenty of my troops without getting as much as a scratch!"

Puffin thought Hurricane. There was no other dragon who could do that, considering she was an animus. "Tell your tribe to follow me, after that, I have some questions to ask."

                         She nodded, gave a quick order to the whole tribe, and then he, Fire-Claw and the Queen started down the tunnel to the world above.
