"Storm?" Winger asked, eye widening.
The dark blue Swiftwing turned around, "Who?" Storm's dark eyes met Winger's and a smile slowly spread across his face.
"Brother!" Storm said and wrapped his large wings around Winger.
He pulled back, "Didn't expect to see you here." He playfully shoved his lighter blue shoulder and Winger smiled.
"It's nice to see you agian, did you finally get rid of those humans?" Storm asked, brushing the dried, cracked blood off his own neck with his claws.
Winger's smile faded, "W-what? Of course not! Dak and Leyla are my friends!"
Storm didn't look phased, "Yea sure, whatever you say." He flapped his wings a couple times, "I'm totally ready for that race."
"I am too." Winger said, glad to change the subject.
"See you around, Winger!" Storm said a flew off.
Winger turned around, looking for Aura, wishing to speak to the Lightfury agian.

Burple was buried under a pile of rocks. He didn't have the best hope, but he still thought it would be fun to try and make it. Who knows, maybe he would win.
The sound of rocks moving spoiled his chances.
"Your found." Acid's voice came and Burple felt a sharp tap on his tail with a long claw.
"Awwwww..." Burple crawled out backwards. He shook pebbles off his burple scales and watched a dark red Changewing, Acid, zip around the island swiftly finding everyone. He seemed to be very good at spotting hidden dragons, Burple also saw some Slinkwings with thier camoflauge scales that were getting found.
He lumbered to where all the other found dragons were waiting. He craned his neck trying to spot any familiar faces among the tall necked Fastfins and Slinkwings, but didn't see any.
————
Summer waited patiently for all the dragons to return. However she noticed that Acid was at no where in sight now, when he did come back into view, he was nosing Lurk, Vizza, and Snoop out from a dark cave nearly impossible to see from a certain angle.
The three Slinkwings headed to the group of dragons that had been found, all of them had a look on their face that just screamed "sore loser" and something else hidden deep in thier facial expressions that Summer couldn't interpret.
She shrugged it off and watched as the winner was not a Slinkwing but a FastFin.
The blue FastFin, Sky, was taking in the admiration from all the dragons with a raised head and a determined expression.
"Next challenge will be the Swimming Challenge with me." Tarvas explained, his magenta-red tail flicking from atop the rock spire.
'Yes!' Summer thought, her wings shuffled excitedly.
"All those who wish to participate can gather around." Tarvas continued with a smile.
Summer flapped down, almost every single FastFin was back here, along with some Swiftwings. She watched as every dragons grouped together excitedly.
"This is how it works," Tarvas started, "Each dragon must swim through a set of tunnels under the water, there will be long breathing holes in case it is needed within the caves. The route may have multiple forks that will have one tunnel with a dead end. Whoever makes it to the end of the tunnels wins."
The crowd of dragons gathered below nodded.
"Alright then follow me!" Tarvas leaped into the sky and soared towards the edge of the island. Summer flapped up with the rest of the mob of dragons and followed him, she tried to wing her way to the front so she could get a better view of what lay ahead of her.
The opening to the cave was out of water and slowed down then went straight ahead. The way the tunnels looked were so uncanny that it could not have been a coincidence, it must have been made. But made by who? Who has the power the morph rock and stone?
Summer eyed the tunnel closer and watched as it slowly descended into the ocean floor, hardened lava and other such things were melees into small cracks in the tunnel that looked like lightening zipping across the whole thing.
So it had been literally built, boulder by boulder, just to make these "Dragon Games"?
'Whoever made this had a lot of time on there hands...' Summer thought.
But who?
Who had that time?
Was there something darker behind these Dragon Games?
There had to be a reason for this much effort... right?
What else could really be behind the nice cover of these fun events?
...
...
...
Summer was thinking hard... she then got a sneaking suspicion that seemed to flash out of nowhere...
That something was watching her...
