Aggro watched Cutter depart with Winger and Aura. She flinched as her stomach hurt agian.
"Aggro, can you come inside? I wanna take a better look at your wounds now that I'm done with Parrot and Elbone." Leyla's voice called from inside the two part of the Roost.
Aggro got up from where she was sitting in the Sleep Cave and flapped into the air. She zipped up through the trap door where Leyla was waiting. She flew down and walked to her.
"You said your stomach hurts?" Leyal asked, getting out her Dragon Diary and turning to the page to Dragon Medicine.
"Yea, it started a couple months ago, but it hurts now more when Parrot crashed and dropped a tree on me." Aggro hissed slightly at then end.
Leyla took a look, "Theres no bruises or wounds..."
"Good, then I'm fine. Probably just a stomach ache. No need to tell everyone and get Cutter fussing over me." Aggro turned around to leave but Leyla stopped her.
"Hold on, let me just check something to make sure your alright." Leyla said.
"Are you going to make me stick out my toungue at any point?" Aggro frowned.
All Leyla did to respond was shrug.

Cutter squinted at the horizon as he flew. Dark clouds were ahead of them and there was the occasional flicker of lightning int he distance which made Cutter's scales tingle.
"Where are we going anyway?" Winger asked Aura, who was having a hard time adjusting her flight to the increasing speed of wind.
"It's an island called Daisdra. Some grumpy old rockspitter rules it and the surrounding islands." Aura explained, her voice strained above her struggle to fly.
"Do you need help?" Winger asked imediatly after.
"No, I'm used to it." Aura repsonded, adjusting her bitten wing and tain fin.
Cutter started to drown out thier words as he stared deeper into the heart of the storm. The Skrill part of him tugged him and called to him, while the Razorwing part was urging him to NOT fly blindly into the storm.
He was unaware of how much time had passed, it was just him and the lightning in a world full of rain and clouds until he heard Aura's voice.
"Down here!" Aura called above the rang and plummeted down to a medium-sized island full of trees tossed wildly in the wind and soaking hills.
As Cutter dived lightning hit his horns and jolts were sent throughout his wings, tail, and backlegs, filling him with freshly charged lightning. His super vision kicked in and he soon spotted and multi-colored dragon thrashing on the hill top on the island below.
"Wait is that..." Winger said just as he and Cutter regonized the Songwing.
"Melodia?" Winger landed beside her.
"Winger? Cutter? Oh thank goodness you guys are here." Melodia awkwardly turned her head to look at them. She was caught in an entanglement of ropes, nets, and metal chains.
"How did you get in this situation?" Cutter looked at her.
Melodia paused and looked away.
"She wouldnt tell me, and it doesnt look like she wants to tell you either." Aura said.
"I figured the Rescue Riders would be up for the job of getting her free." Aura continued, her tail swishing in the howling wind, "And I also need someone to steer the lightning away. I tried to postition the metal chains underneath her so she wouldnt get struck."
"Ok." Winger said and nodded to Cutter.
"Let's do this."

Meanwhile in the roost, there was an outcry of shock coming from the tower part of the Roost.
Burple jumped up from where he was sneaking extra fish and turned around, eyes wide. Summer looked up from where she was resting and frowned.
Parrot fell over squawking in surprise, "What was that???"
"I don't know." Summer got up and walked warily towards the door to the Roost.
"I hope it's not something bad..." Burple walked out from behind the barrel of fish.
"I think it's bad." Parrot wrapped his tail around his own legs.
---------
"I'm WHAT?!?!!" Aggro nearly spit fire in Leyla's face.
"Aggro." Leyla got back up from where she had falled dodging the fire, "Your expecting eggs."
Aggro's midn instantly went to what Cutter would think. Would he not love her anymore? What would happen? WHAT THE HECK WAS SHE GOING TO FREAKING DO?
Aggro couldnt believe it yet she knew it was true.
"Aggro, calm down, your going to set the Roost on fire if you heat you scales up anymore." Leyla tried to calm her, but she would not be calmed.
"I am wayyyy too young for-" Aggro started, her scales still nearly on fire.
"Actually your around your 5th molting right? That's actually the age most dragons find a mate in the wild." Leyla explained, sliding the Dragon Diary out of harm's way behind her back.
One of Aggro's eyelids twitched, "Cutters not even my mate! We are jus Sharescales!"
A tear escaped Aggros' eye.
"He's gonna hate me."
I need to squeeze in another chapter so the last chapetr will be 27 not 26.
