Fang stretched out her green-black wings. She rolled around in the soft, warm grass. The sun shined warmth onto her cold scales. She opened her green eyes, everyone was fast asleep, but Active, Scar, Sightless, and Scorpion. She started up, just to get knocked to the ground again. She whirled around with a hiss, scrambling onto her venom filled talons. She stopped when she saw Active. "T-there gone!" "Whos go-" "Scorpion. And Sightless. Not to mention Scar as well."

"I'm sure their just hunting early today-" "I searched the whole forest!" "Them?" Cloud echoed. "I saw them flying around with a Skywing, Flamewing, and Swiftwing around midnight. It's sooo early," He mumbled. Fang's heart stopped. Jack had pulled her to the side, when some dragons had flown over them, was he working for them? Without a word, she dashed for where they had met. To her surprise, no one bothered to follow.

Panic flared throw her when she saw he wasn't present. She was about to shout his name, when something swooped down behind her. "Here so early?" She turned around to see the worm eyes of Jack. He sat down, tail around his rigid talons. "Where are they?!" She shot. "Wheres w-who?" He asked in a more serious voice. "Sightless!... An Icewing, Sandwing, and Rainwing were flying around at midnight. Remember when you pushed us into those bushes when they flew over?" She pointed her tail at the bushes.

"Yeah..." "Why did you hid in the first place?" He hesitated. "Not important. Let's look around for them, I'm sure they're around somewhere-" "Active searched the whole forest!" "Who?" "Oh never mind, your gonna show us where to find them" "Alright, calm down," he shrugged. "Comeon" Fang started towards their camp. She couldn't help the rush of excitement that flared inside her. She wondered what Jack would think of her friends, and what they would think of him.

She walked into the clearing. It seemed as if the whole world was silent, everyone stared at her. Finally, she spoke up and announced. " Guys, this is Jack. Jack, the Webwing is Widow, the Bonewing is Bone, the Radioactivewing is Active, and the youngest one is Cloud." They were silent for a while, then Jack waved and said. "hi... " "And why is he here?" Bone questioned. "Is he gonna stay with us?!" Cloud exclaimed. "Sorry about him," Widow apologized, becoming for Cloud to shut up.

" He maaayyyy be able to help us find them," Fang explained. " Yeah? How?" Active asked, still seeming slightly panicked. " Ummm," Fang nudge Jack for an answer. "You said they were heading towards the Swiftwing kingdom?" Jack informed. "Correct..." "They Ill just lead you to it," he shrugged. "Oooohhhh, are we gonna see the queens agai-" "Were not bumping into those cow-brained queens Cloud!" Bone exclaimed. "awwww , they seemed soooo cool!" "You call burning down that forest cool?" Active sighed.

"Less agouring more flying!" Fang commanded, darting into the air. Jack took the lead, the others following. After around 20 minutes or so, Fang could just make something on the beaches shore. Fang squented from the setting sun's blazing light. "That it?" She called. "I think so!" Jack called from somewhere ahead of her. "Can we stop? I'm so tiiiirrreeeddd" Cloud moaned. "We dont caarrreeee" Active sighed. "I'm the youngest, therefore you shall respect me," Cloud announced. "Phh, yeah. I'm your dreams!" Active laughed.

Fang landed by a nearby cave, carved from a cliff's edge. She lashed her tail in the cool sand. "Can we take a break?" Cloud bagged. Fang looked at the setting sun. "Sure, we can head over there in the morning," "Yes!" Cloud exclaimed, bounding into the cave. "Dragonets," Fang sighed.
