-------------------------------------------------------------------------

My eyes flickered as I opened them, lifting my head and looking around. The sun light filled the whole cave, turning the once dark rocks light browns or ambary colours. I yawned and looked up to see Rayla was sitting on a rock quietly looking at her feet. "Good morning" I said rubbing the sleep out off my eyes. "Good morning, Summer" Rayla said looking up and smiled, "How are you?" "I'm good for two night of terrible sleep" I said carefully getting up, shaking and turning into a human. "Where's Callum?" I asked realising that he was not here. "Callum went with Zym to fly cause there is a soft wind. There just outside." Rayla said getting up and walked outside, quickly I followed her. She was right, the sky was clear, and a small breeze was in the air. Behind me, Zym flew by with Callum using a wind spell to push him up in to the blue-bell sky.

Then an idea hit me. "Do you guys like music?" I asked reaching up to my pouch. "Music?" Rayla echoed turning to face me "Well yes, I do like music but were would you get some from?" she gave me a confused look. "With this" I said opening my pouch and tipped out my dark crimson stone and my amber orange stone. Still ignoring Rayla's puzzled expression, I traced the sun onto the red stone and put it on the ground. It grew rapidly twisting and turning into a large, dark red suitcase. Rayla and Callum stood there staring at it with two wide eyes and startled expressions. I opened the suitcase, which was full of things and pulled out a flat sphere with a wool handle. I shut the case and did the same symbol to my orange stone turning back into the music disk, I grabbed the sphere thing and said "This is called a and music circle, MC for short, and this" lifting up the square disk, "is called a music box" I gently clicked the music box into a small spot it goes into on the back of the MC. Then I hit play. Music tumbled out of the MC louder than ever.

"Tada!" I said joy riding across my face. "H-h-how did you do that?" Rayla stammered gently brushing the MC with her fingers. "Well," I started "my dad was really powerful, and he gave them to me as a present for my 10th birthday" I said smiling down at the stones, "As for all of the things in the suitcase" nodding my head to the case "are other things or presents." "That's amazing, Summer" Callum said walking up to me with Zym on his shoulders, head tilted staring at the MC. "I know" I said quietly holding it to my chest, muffling the music. I pushed my arm through the handle and turn into my sun-serpent form, spreading my wing out so they could climb onto my back. I took off clinging onto my MC, twisting in mid-air and started flying north. I let the wind pull me up into the clouds so that we wouldn't be spotted to easily. The music changed to a song I knew, and I happily sang out the words, to court up in the moment. "Some legends are told, some turn to dust or to gold. But you will remember meeeeeee, remember me for centrieeeeeesssss! Just one mistake, is all it will take. We'll go down in historyyyyyy! Remember me for centrieeeesssss!" I laughed and did a quick loop the air, looking back at Rayla and Callum who were cheering and Zym squawking on top of Callum's head.

I let the rhythm take over, swirling, dancing in the sky. I reared up and fell backwards falling, opening my wings at the last second. Rayla and Callum shouted into the wind on my back, as I swayed through the jagged peaks then diving down, gently so that my talons nearly brushed the glass-like water. Suddenly I felt a twinge in my nose I stopped, sniffing the air. "Is very thing alright, Summer?" Callum asked breathlessly. "I smell...." I said slowly, "smoke! I smell smoke!" I smacked my tail on the water shoving myself into the air, leaving furious ripples across the water. "What's so important about smoke?" Rayla asked. "Smoke equals humans, humans equal food and shelter and resources!" I explained in delight. I spun dipped down and then shoved my talons into the side of the mountain, pushing my head high, balancing on top of the peak. "There!" I said pointing down at a large village. What.... Do I know this place? I frowned down at it and gently shifted my head. Hold on! I know this new smell. Potatoes, mince, cheese, ricotta. "Oh!" I shouted, jerking quickly.

"I know this place!" I turned to face Rayla and Callum, "when I live with the elf's we had a cook! Her name was Eclipse- and yes that was her real name. She took me here once to get some ingredients and we found this cook who made the BEST food ever! We have to go there." I lashed my tail in excitement sending rocks sliding down the mountain. "Plus they would see me if we flew, even if I camouflaged myself" I said looking down at the town. "That is all true, and I can put my cloak on to hide my ears but what about you? You cant go down there as a dragon or as human cause you always have your wings and tail" Rayla said. "Ok, first of all I'm NOT a dragon" I said bitterly, "I'm a sun-serpent! I don't see how you mix up dragon and a sun-serpent" shaking my head and switch my Mc off. "And I can also hide my wings and my tail. But not yet" I turned around and dived of the edge of the staying close to the ground, so the village wont see me. Once we were in eye shot I stopped letting them off my back and turned back into a human. "Ready?" I asked turning so they could see my back. I concentrated for a minute and then heard the gasp saying that it worked. I turned to look at my back to see that my wings and tail had disappeared. "Pretty cool right?" I said, "I'll just going to have to make sure that people don't touch my back." Rayla touched my wing making sure it was still there. "That's incredibly" Callum said walking up to me trying to get Zym into the bag, "Zym! If you don't get in the bag the people will try to kill you! Get in the bag!" he shoved Zym down and finally into the bag, who stuck his snout out of the gap. I led the way up to the village and stopped. "Are you ready to taste the best thing the world has ever created?" I asked with a little to much enthusiasm. Rayla and Callum looked at each other and said, "Um yes?" "Good! Lets go!" I cried and marched forward through the towing gates with people staring down at us with beady eyes.
