Ever since you left Dragon's Edge everything seemed different...you seemed different. After two days of contemplating you still couldn't believe that all of this happened and the worst part of it is that nobody came looking for you.

You'd think after being friends for so long they'd choose to trust you, but you were wrong, oh so wrong. After everything you've done for them, after everything all of you went through together it only saddened you even more that they still neglected believing you instead of Mariah.

A grunt escaped your lips and you shook your head wildly trying to forget about the events, but even after so many attempts to do so you just couldn't get them out of your mind. You promised yourself to forget about everything but that proved easier said than done, how can you just suddenly stop thinking about something like it never existed before, it is never that simple.

The night was quiet and peaceful on Cherry Blossom Island, except for the cricked sounds echoing around. Your gaze was fixed on the starry sky above, with the stars flickering ever so slightly and the moon shining bright rays.

The relaxing scenery calmed you a bit, just enough to take your mind off Dragon's edge for some minutes. But all of the sudden Crystal's head bolted up, she nearly hit you because your dragon was laying on your lap.

Crystal grabbed you by the collar of your shirt and swung you up in the air. You let out a loud shriek as you were flying down into the sea bellow, but thankfully Crystal flew under you and you landed on her saddle.

"Crystal what was that for?!" You exclaimed, not particularly angry just surprised. This action was not usual so you were taken aback by it, why would your dragon randomly decide to throw you was all you wondered.

Crystal let out a series of whimpers and for once you wanted to know what she was saying. What you didn't fail to notice was how incredibly fast your dragon was flying, and also that she was flying in the direction of the Edge.

"No! We're not going back!" You snapped and tried to change the direction by moving her saddle to the right, but Crystal was just too strong and determined to go there that you just gave up.

To your surprise Crystal managed to arrive on Dragon's Edge in just a couple of minutes which was remarkably impressive to say the least.
For some reason she chose to go from the back side of the island, even though it was weird you did not question it.

But once she crept behind the bushes you saw what caused her to do that. In front of you were fleets of ships and not just any troupe, it was Alvin's Outcasts.

"I knew she was a spy." You muttered quietly, guilty for feeling so proud that Alvin attacked. But that made you worry even more, where was the gang and Mariah and were they okay was what you were fretting about.

But after you heard Alvin's hideous laugh you knew exactly where to look.

The dome.

You got off from Crystal and both of you carefully made your way down to where voices were coming, the path from the forest led directly to them and in a matter of minutes both of you arrived there. But once you arrived there you felt your stomach knot inside and heart drop, the gang were sat in a half circle with their hands tied up along with the dragons who were muzzled as well.

Next to you Crystal growled at the sight, but you shushed her. If you made a sudden appearance the many guards around could chain Crystal in a second and the mission would fall apart, then again, you still didn't have any plans on what to do.
