Lucky? She was alive! Her eyes looked deeply into hers. "Dragonfly, why do you look so... well I don't know...so?" Lucky asked. "You are alive!" Dragonfly exclaimed. Rusty and Shiny gave her confused looks. Dragonfly embraced Lucky.
"Yes, I'm alive. I always was," Lucky said. "What was that fire about, anyway?"
"We thought you were dead!" Shiny said tears shining in her eyes. Shiny joined the hug. Dragonfly felt so happy. She didn't kill her sister! She was alive!
"I hate to destroy this reunion, but I think you should see this." Rusty said nervously. Dragonfly turned her head to see the burnt leftovers of the forest. Next to the forest, a flock of flying dragons approached. Their wings flapping angrily in the air, they got closer for every second.
"I doubt they are coming for us. They are probably just flying to a village or something." Dragonfly stated.
"Maybe we should follow them. I mean, all our food was burnt in the the wildfire." Lucky noted.
"Good idea." Shiny pointed out.
But the dragons didn't fly over their heads. Instead, they landed right in front of their snouts.

Dragonfly immediately recognised the worried eyes of the dragon who warned her of the fire. He stood behind a much bigger SkyWing. They were all SkyWings, actually. This SkyWing was a female with fiery yellow eyes and scales that looked awfully close to the colour of blood. She looked at Dragonfly with a scornful look.
"So this is the dragon-" the blood coloured dragon said in a smoky voice.
"-yes that's her. I'm sure of it." The dragon with worried eyes finished for her. The female gave him a annoyed look.
"Okey so, Rosso here claims he saw you on the night of the fire," the female said in a tired voice. "He says you were the one starting this deadly wildfire." She finished.
"Excuse me, can I ask who you are?" Dragonfly asked. The female looked at her with tiny eyes.
"You filthy MudWing! You almost burned down our whole forest! How dare you!?" The female spat.
"Your forest? First, I'm terribly sorry for burning down this forest. I hope no one got hurt during it. It was absolutely not on purpose-"
"How dare you even speak like that! Many dragons are died during that fire of yours and all you have to say for yourself is, sorry? Dragons died! We want blood! You filthy MudWing dragonet!" Another SkyWing burst out.
"I'm so sorry!" Dragonfly tried.
"Kill her!" A SkyWing said. "Yes kill her!" Another claimed in.
"Please! We don't want any trouble!" Shiny said in a squeaky voice.
"Silence!" The female SkyWing roared. "Let me explain to you, MudWing dragonet with strange scales, I am head chief Kiha over the village of Cliro. Selected by the queen herself. The village Cliro is near a forest, which is now burned down, this fire of yours affected our village. You have burned down SkyWing territory! And you must be punished, of course. So if you please, come to our village and let's handle the rest there." Kiha said. Her yellow eyes looked toxic.
"Of course. You are right. Let me just explain to you, that this fire was not on purpose. It was just a campfire at first. I have no idea how it spread nor how it could spread so quickly. I'm also very sorry for your losses." Dragonfly said. Kiha nodded slowly then turned and spread her wings wide.
Dragonfly nodded to the others to follow.
She didn't know what she was doing. That part about punishment didn't sound too well. She didn't want to follow the angry SkyWings anywhere. But she had to. Because it turned out, she was a killer after all.
