??? months later...
Winger's vision suddenly started to get darker, and then darker and then...
"Winger!" He suddenly heard Leyla's voice and jumped up in surprise, "What's going on? Does someone need to be rescued?"
"No silly you were dozing off." Leyla said, she was standing in the training clearing of the Roost, relaxing and enjoying peace with the others. Winger however had perched on the grassy cleft in front of the Roost door (not the Sleep Cave door).
Winger smiled, "I'm glad your back, you can't really tell but Dak's really gotten happier since then."
"I'm happy to be back!" Leyla said, walking up and sitting down beside him.
Winger looked away, "I'm thinking that everything is going to be all right agian." He frowned, "But Aura hasnt visited in a while, I hope the whole Red Rage Rebellion has sorted itself out."
"Me too." She responded, "And hopefully that BoulderDeath thing is as good as gone."
Winger opened his mouth to say something, but then paused when he saw something zip by the Roost high above. He stood up and turned his head to stare at teh green and blue blur flying around.
"Is that... Parrot? What's he doing?" He murmured.
Parrot suddenly wheeled around and came flying towards them, looking out of control. Winger and Leyla could soon hear the squawking and someone screaming as Parrot crash-landed on the Roost clearing, barreling right into wear Cutter and Aggro were sitting.
Winger jumped down imdeiatley and rushed to them. The crash had ripped up a tree that had fallen on Parrot, Aggro, Cutter, and... Elbone?
'Was Elbone riding Parrot?' Winger thought suddenly.
"A little help." Cutter groaned.
Winger started trying to haul the tree off, he was soon joined by Dak, Leyla, Summer, and Burple. Once they got it off Leyla went to them to see if they were seriously hurt.
"Are you guys ok? What happened?" Leyla pulled Aggro to her feet.
"Someone just crashed and dropped a tree on me! Not ok!" Aggro hissed, her scales heating up, "Also, ow, I think I landed on my stomach wrong."
Winger looked at Parrot, who was nosing Elbone up. Elbone shook his head and looked at the Rescue Riders, "Oh no, that was not meant to happen, so sorry!"
"Sorry, sorry, sorry." Parrot echoed, flapping his wings and squaqking, "I tried to give him a ride and then..."
"Maybe I shouldnt have pulled on your horns like that?" Elbone looked at Parrot apolegetically.
Dak helped Cutter up while looking at Elbone, "Maybe leave the dragon riding to us.", he teased.
"Yes, sorry." Parrot fluttered back a couple steps.
"Hey Aggro are you alright?"Cutter ran to her, his tail accidently knocking Dak over. Dak fell back onto Burple, "Woah."
"Fine." Aggro said through gritted teeth.
Cutter frowned, "No your not." He looked expectantly at Leyla who caught his look and started checkign Aggro over.
"You only have bruises, you should be fine." Leyla said and Cutter relaxed.
"Sure, only bruises, then why does mys tomach feel like it flipping inside out." Aggro growled, her scales heating up once more.
"Let's get you inside." Leyla led Aggro into the Sleep Cave, followed imdeiatly by Cutter.
Winger was on the verge of saying 'Phew, now thats over we can get back to relaxing.' before a familiar white Lightfury came delicatley flying down, and landed on a tower of crates, which shook slightly under her weight.
"Aura!" He exclaimed.
Aura looked at the wrecked tree and clearing, "Did I miss something?" She flapped down from the crates.
"Elbone and Parrot were trying dragon riding on thier own." Winger explained, gesturing with his sky blue wing to the wreckage.
"Enough said, I just came to make sure the Red Rage didnt come back to the western corner." She said, "Anyway, any news about the whole BoulderDeath and evil Lightfurys thing?"
"No, it seems to have been fake all along, something the lightfurys did to stir up trouble, freak out dragons for no reason." Winger responded, "Although Parrot is still convinced he saw her eat an island."
Aura laughed a little bit, she then leaned in close, which made Winger blush, "Theres another reason I came here. I need you and Cutter's help with something."
"M-me?" He stuttered.
"Yes you. I need a dragon with a strong blast like yours and I need someone who can harness lightning, or at least keep it away from where we are working. All the Skrills joined the rebellion so..." Aura explained.
"Ok, I'll go get Cutter." Winger walked off.
He glanced behind him quickly to see Aura smile, and he felt his heart flip over.
We are nearing the end guys! I have the next two chapters planned out and then, when this book ends, I'll take a break from it and leave you all with a lovely sinister cliff hanger. >:)
