Uma sat up at once. She was sure she had just heard a horrible screech of a dragon from her side. Shaking her head, Uma slowly circled her surroundings, looking closely for her purple haired companion. But the dragon girl was nowhere to be seen. Not even a trace of a dragon could be seen.

"Shit." Uma cursed.

She had been separated from Mal.

Now, she was trapped all alone on a weird, unknown, stormy island.

And she could only wait for help to arrive.

From afar, Harry was sure he had seen the purple silhouette of Mal's dragon form plunge down at an alarming speed, and at the last moment when he thought she might crash into the sea, an island appeared, darker and more terrifying than the Isle of the Lost, and Mal hit the island.

Another turquoise silhouette slammed into the shore of the island, and Harry instantly recognised it as his captain, Uma. That meant that there was something wrong with that menacing island, and despite knowing that he was left in charge to keep the rest of them safe, Harry shouted, "Jay! Let down the sails! They're in trouble, and we're going to save them!"

Mal found herself sprawled out against a cold cave floor once again, and she groaned as one of her joints gave way while she struggled to stand, and she screamed in agony as she fell to the ground heavily on the leg that was probably badly fractured.

Breathing heavily, Mal held her leg carefully. There was nothing she could use as a crutch, or a brace; it was absolute darkness around her, and Mal wasn't even sure if she wanted to touch anything in the cave at all. Taking a deep breath, Mal pressed down on her knee, and a faint, green glow started to rise from her palms.

Sighing in relief, Mal tried to heal herself, when suddenly her magic wasn't useable, and she found herself with a half dislocated leg. With no choice left, Mal braced herself, and the entire island shook as a terribly painful scream reverberated off the walls of the cave Mal was in.
