As the sun rose out from under the trees and the mountains the two moons that night had already faded into the sea. As Starflight awakened sunny he could already hear Tsunami’s brutal training strategies hard at work, with Rainwing soldiers huffing and puffing gasping for air. “Starflight?” Sunny said in a half-asleep voice, “Morning” Starflight said with a slight giggle. Sunny laughed at Starflight’s poor impression of a western dragon, “What’s so funny?” “you with your morning, and that tip of the hat movement it was funny.” “Well, I guess just a natural comedian.” Sunny cracked up after he said that and he did too.

After meeting inferno last night, Starflight felt that he was an animus dragon, but you can't judge a book by its cover or a dragon for that matter. “Come on we got to tell the others about inferno.” “but he said to keep it a secret.” “I know I know, but we need to tell someone.” “Fine, let’s tell the others,” Sunny said, kind of grumpily. “Ahem,” Sunny Said, “we may have found a new tribe of dragons here in the rainforest.” There was a long pause until Tsunami broke the silence. “Excuse me, a new tribe and you didn't tell us as soon as you found it. I respect that.” “Thanks, I guess”. Glory looked over her shoulder and saw the “new” dragon standing right behind her with bonfire eyes looking straight into her soul. She stood there a moment frozen with terror, when she found the courage to speak she said “who...who...who are you, and what are you”. But inferno just walked past her without answering her question to talk to Sunny and Starflight. “Ahh, Starflight and sunny, friends. I thought you already told them''.

“Nope, we were just getting to that, and also didn't you say to keep it a secret”. “I changed my mind, sorry I didn't tell you”. “That's fine”. Sunny said. Starflight looked around at everyone else. He was stunned by the others' reactions, clay had his mouth dangling halfway down to the ground, tsunamis’ eyes were as big as the moons, and well, glory just looked confused. In a scared/angry kind of way. “Mind telling them who and what you are, hmm”. Sunny whispered. “Of course, mhm, hello I’m prince inferno of the flame wings pleasure to make your acquaintance.” “uuuuuuum, prince of the who and the what now.” tsunami said “the flame wings, sorry if I did not say it loud enough.” “no no no, you said it loud enough it's just a lot to take in.” Of course, I will take myself on a tour of the village. You just try to wrap your heads around it and get back to me.” “sounds like a plan, but you might want to let me do the tour.” “of course, you do know more about these dragons than I.” “lead on.”

“Well, first of all, we have the tree top huts which are the homes of the Rainwings.” “extraordinary, simply extraordinary.” “Next we have the queen's hut which is significantly larger than the rest of the huts, besides the healer's hut, and the hatchery.” “Wow, impressive, you know your way around the village.” “Well, it has been my home for some time now.” “I see. What do we have to eat around here? I'm starving.” “We only eat fruit around here.” “Oh okay,” he said with a disappointed look on his face. “Oh, one more thing you should know about me.” “What is inferno?” “ Try not to make me mad.” “Why I thought…” “because if I get mad I turn into your worst nightmare.” “Can I see?” “ It's your funeral, it makes me mad. I'll try to control it”, “ok” sunny said, poking and punching him with all she's got.

All of sudden she felt heat rising from his body. His veins turned bright red and orange. She jumped back in awe as prince inferno burst into flames, his eyes bloodshot with orange rings around his pupils, his tail even more light-emitting than before, and all around him was an Inferno-like fire, hence the name. “Wow, this is amazing.” “holy jumping janga fruit! what’s going on!” tsunami said with the rest of the dragonets behind her. “doesn’t that hurt him?” Glory said, “I think it's like how I’m immune to fire because of my blood-red egg.” “Yes, but I have a coating on my scales that keeps me from burning.” he became calm again. The raging fire now extinguished.

“Wait, how do you know about his blood-red egg?” “Even from the far reaches of the world, I have read your prophecy.” “mediocre if you ask me.” tsunami said. “How long does this usually last?” “Only until I gain control over it and become calm, and centered again.”, “oh ok, now I think I get it.” Sunny said out off to the side...

When Inferno calmed down some more they finished showing him what Rainwings do on a daily basis, “So you’re telling me that rain wings can camouflage into their surroundings,” “Yep” “That's extraordinary” the prince said pulling out a notebook from a pouch that he had bought from a Rainwing earlier. “There are lots of things that a rain wing can do, like spit magical death spit.” “What's that you said?” “Magical death spit.” “What's that?” “It’s venom that can melt anything organic, so it can melt away dragon scales if you were wondering.” “Oh, okay. Don’t want to make a Rainwing mad then.” “That's for sure.” “but most of them seem quite sleepy.” “That’s because they need the sunlight.” “for what exactly?” asked inferno.

“Welllllll, they need the sunlight for their scales to look all pretty or they’ll get pale, it happened with Glory when we were in a cave for most of our lives as dragonets, which we still are, are you a dragonet inferno?” “No, I'm 10 years old which is the proper age to challenge my father for the throne but I won't because well, I don't want to be king of the flame wings. I want to be a noble adventurer like my friend heatwave.”

“Well, uh, how long did it take you to get here,” asked clay. “182 moons to be exact, it was challenging. physically and mentally.” “I don’t think anyone has ever flown for that long.” “I didn't fly the entire time I rested on small islands that seemed to just pop up out of nowhere, but they gave me hope as they became closer together with every island I rested on.” “whoooooooa.” “It will always be my dream to travel around the whole world.” “Now that's a dream I can get behind,” Clay said enthusiastically, “but not in front of. You don’t wanna get in his way.” glory chuckled.

“Will you help me find the others who journeyed with me? I lost them in a storm a few weeks back.” “Uh, sure, but how long have you been here exactly?” “Three weeks, not including the time I spent in the other territories. why?” “Oh, wow, that's a long time without anyone noticing you.” Starflight said in awe. “and also we call the territories kingdoms.” Glory said as her mind went back to the prophecy when she awakened from the poison barrys beware the demon of power and fire for they are not what they seem. It could be him.

She opened her mouth to speak, But before she could say anything Clay did, “Well anyway, we can definitely help you look for your friends. It sounds like an adventure, and we're always up for an adventure.” Clay said, “thank you, but I hope you don't mind, they can get a bit reckless.” “What do you mean reckless?” Glory asked. Well one of them, if they feel threatened in any way he will not hesitate to kill you and trust me you will not survive. The other one well she's a lot like your yellow one. Sunny was it.” “Well if they're anything like sunny we're gonna have our talons full.” Clay said happily.

Sunny just looked at clay with a sour expression. “What. I'm kidding.”
