- Hello ? The little troll says in the darkness.

He didn't know where he was, the moon was rising in the night sky. Walking in the dark, he saw nothing and it was impossible to describe his colors in total darkness.

He stumbled and fell face first in a water puddle. Rubbing his forehead and groaning in pain, he got up and continued his way, trying to find his village, passing without realizing it above the borrowing of a dragon ....

... And the taste of water made him want to vomit.

- A team of hunters in the village? Poppy repeated what the SnackPack had told her.

In the village, the princess was chating with her friends. It was when she heard this news that she felt fear invading her, trying to keep her cool.

- Yes, Pepy telling us this morning, GD confirmed.

- A team of hunters 24 hours a day in the village, added DJ, your father will eventually manage to catch the two dragons.

Poppy looked down at her sandwich as the SnackPack continued to chat. A team of dragon hunters? Why his father didn't tell her about it? And what would happen if they managed to capture Hairless?

- Guys? ... Poppy tried to get their attention.

Seeing the head she had been doing for a few months, the SnackPack turned to look at her. They knew she was hiding something from them, and understood perfectly if she did not want to talk about it .... It was obvious that she loved Branch!

- Yes Poppy? Biggie asked

- What ... what do you think about dragons? She finally asked.

The question had slightly surprised her friends, a silence start between them, until the voice of Smidge put an end to it:

- This NightFury didn't look very happy in his cage.

Poppy felt somehow relieved, at least some could see what she had seen.

- And this little dragon looked like a child who wanted to play ... Biggie added.

- Yes, maybe we should try to know them ... Biggie proposed, After all, the dragons have been friends of the Trolls a long time ago!

- It's a joke, guys!? A voice cut them off.

The SnackPack turned to Creek, he held a throw-net in his hands, showing that he was the leader of the hunters. Poppy looked down, not daring to look at the weapon that had hurt her dragon's tail.

- The dragons are wild monsters! And if we do nothing, they will kill us all! Here is the proof!

He gently put his hand on Poppy's cheek and pulled away the strand of hair from her face so everyone could see the little scar on her cheek. The one Hairless had accidentally made on the night of their meeting. The SnackPack was shocking, and Poppy hid her scar again with embarrassment.

- That's what they do! Don't you forget what this little dragon did despite his size? Creek got angry, And that other dragon that attacked our boat?

Hearing all this things was too much for the pink troll, slowly she put her sandwich on the table and walked away. Noticing this, the SnackPack stopped her:

- Poppy, where are you going? Satin asked

- You don't have classes with Branch today, you have something else planned? Chenille wondered.

- I uh ... I have to go see Skylar for Cliff clean Oxy's enclosure, she explained, happy to have an excuse.

Then, without another word, she take direction to Skylar home. Creek watched her go, wondering why she had not chosen to stay with him.
