chapter 10

I see that Aquakitty stealing food again.

I catch him this time and returned the fish to the stall.

"Hey put Seafoam down!" someone growl. from behind me.

"He has been stealing from this stall." I retort.

A stream of water wraps around my snout blocking me from saying anything else but I could still breathe

"Do you think I'm not aware I've been accused many times for his theft" they replied, it was an Tidestream and by the looks of it they did not seem happy.

"Put him down." they growl.

"He needs to learn to stop." I respond.

A jet of water slashes my arms causing me to drop the Aquakitty.

Other dragons began to turn and watch. I hear a few of the questions.

"Is there a fight?"

"What's going to happen?"

"Is it over that Aquakitty?"

The Tidestream still glared at me.

"You don't get to decide what happens to Seafoam." They growled.

A few more shots of water hit me. I stumble back

Then another Tidestream ran out of the crowd

"Aquamarine stop!" They ordered.

The Tidestream known as Aquamarine paused and looked over at the new Tidestream.

"Minnow She wasn't letting Seafoam free why should I stop" Aquamarine asked.

"Because we don't want to be the one to start another war you could have dealt with it peacefully." Minnow tells Aquamarine.

"I guess you have a point." Aquamarine sighs.

"Sorry about hurting you it's not your fault I reacted like that. I've had a hard month." Aquamarine apologized.

"It's alright" I smile.

"Well bye." Aquamarine says then walks off with Minnow beside her.

A new Tidestream comes up next to me.

"Aquamarine can be a rude dragon at first but once you get to know her she can be quite nice if your fine with her teasing you of course...oh I'm Cod by the way" the Tidestream rambles.

"I'm Gale" I reply.

"Cool name but then again your the first StormTalon I've met" Cod shrugged. Cod was a blue and tan Tidestream with lavender eyes.

"Though I should probably get going" Cod said and rushed off. 

Hm well looks like someone is in a hurry.

~•-<☆>-•~

I had actually been slowly getting to know Minnow and Aquamarine, the Tidestream Cod was right Aquamarine did like to tease her friends and was quite nice actually

I learned that the two of them were actually siblings.

"Hey Gale who these Tidestream's?" Evergreen asked as she walks over.

Her wing was healed now that was for sure.

"I'm Minnow and this is my sister Aquamarine." Minnow answered.

"Ah nice to meet ya." Evergreen smiles. 

"Well we are still waiting for you to give us your name unless you want me to give ya a nickname" Aquamarine tells Evergreen.

"Oh right sorry my name is Evergreen." she replied. 

"Can I tell you guys something?" Evergreen askes.

Before anyone could respond Seafoam came over to the group with a raw fish.

And he mowed something to Aquamarine before sitting down and eating it.

"You caught that big of a fish on your own?" Evergreen asked.

Seafoam shot his head over to Evergreen.

He mowed something else.

"Uh yeah it's an family trait." Evergreen replied to Seafoam's meowing

"Now Evergreen what did you want to tell us?" Minnow asked.

"A few weeks ago I had a dream with the prophecyr in it and I've never seen him before" Evergreen started.

"That's never good." I comment.

My grandmother had told me if someone who has never seen the prophecyr has a dream about them they'll must be receiving a prophecy to fulfill.

"What did he tell you" Minnow asked.

"He told me to find a dragon of each tribe and a hawk a Aquakitty and a human and his voice seems to be telling me who they are and so far I've heard from it that my Hawk friend known as Windrider is Hawk and the Aquakitty is Seafoam the Tidestream is Aquamarine the StormTalon is you Gale and that's all I know so far." Evergreen replied.

"So I'm supposed to do what?" Aquamarine asked.

"I don't know he didn't clarify but maybe if we go to the Cometflight mountain we can find the prophecyr in there and ask him what we're supposed to do since he wasn't all to clear on what we are supposed to do." Evergreen replied.

"Maybe we should find this human first since that'll probably take a while." I suggest.

"Sounds like an plan." Evergreen replied.

"Though I should probably let my grandmother know I'll be gone, meet back here tomorrow and we can leave then?" I say.

"Oh of course." Evergreen responds.

~•-<☆>-•~

Aquamarine and Minnow show up. "I'm gonna miss you fishbrain." Aquamarine spoke to her sister. She let out a small sad sigh as she spoke.

"Yeah but you know it's logical tuna breath." Minnow responds.

"Your leaving?" I ask.

"Yeah someone has to stay behind to cover, we don't want an angry queen now do we?" Minnow grins.

And so we say our goodbyes to Minnow and off to go find this human that we are supposed to have with us.

Evergreen's hawk friend Windrider flys beside me.

We land on one of the islands inhabited by humans.

What looked to be a half human half cat was standing in front of me then it took off into the forest with agile grace.

I sneak carefully after the creature to see what it was up to.

Eventually the creature slips down river and I lose its scent.

I return to where the rest of the group had met up at. "No one had any luck?" I ask as I walk out.

"Nope." Evergreen sighs.

"Okay so where to now then?" Aquamarine askes looking over to Evergreen.

"To another island that's inhabited by humans I guess." Evergreen answered.

We take off to find another island for the second attempt at finding our human companion.

~•-<☆>-•~

This was the fourth island we were searching and I am starting to lose hope that we will find them today, it's starting to get dark and I am pretty sure that humans aren't nocturnal creatures.

I was searching over this new island.

When I feel something poke into my leg.

I look down and see a human glaring up at me.

"Off our island." she growled.

This....this was one of those dragon speaking humans I had heard about in stories.

"Wait can I scare dragons just with my voice?" She asked.

"No I was just a little surprised when you spoke that's all." I answer and smile.

"Wait.....I can understand you....Why can I understand you!? Dragons are just creatures They can't speak." she said.

"And yet we think the same thing about you...oh by the way my names Gale." I respond to the girl.

"I'm Niea." she introduced herself.

"It's nice to meet you Niea." I reply.

"So why are there a bunch of Dragons on my clans island?" Niea asked.

"Clan?......anyway we are searching for a human to help us on a mission" I answer.

"Well you better not eat us....if dragons even do that." Niea replied.

"We don't eat humans." I tell her. But I don't know if we used to.

Evergreen came out with Windrider once again on her wing. 

"You found one?" Evergreen asked.

"Yeah this is Niea. Niea this is Evergreen my friend." I introduce them.

"So your some sort of plant themed dragon?" Niea asked Evergreen.

Niea waited for Evergreen to be surprised when she spoke.

"Yeah I'm a Rosewing...wait Gale can you understand her?" Evergreen asked.

"Yeah she's a dragon talking human, I hadn't believed they were real but I guess I was wrong." I answer.

"I did not know that." Evergreen replied.

"So why weren't you surprised when I spoke?" Niea asked.

"Well I can naturally understand creatures. It's something that runs in my family" Evergreen shrugs.

"Oh that's interesting. But what about when you want to hunt" Niea asked.

"Rosewings don't hunt we eat fruit and vegetables." Evergreen answered.

"So you just don't eat meat?" Niea asked

"Oh yeah that is what Rosewings are like." Evergreen replied.

"So Niea would you uh be willing to help us?" Evergreen asked.

"What would be in it for me?" Niea replied.

"You would get to explore on the back of a dragon." I suggest.

"That sounds interesting I suppose I can help you with your dragon mission thing." Niea replies.

"Since adventuring would be kinda cool." Niea states.

"I'll go get Aqua and Seafoam." I say and walk off

Seafoam doesn't seem to venture far from Aquamarine unless he's stealing something so they must be pretty close.

"Gale you still looking for the human here or is it time to head to the next island" Aquamarine asked.

"Nope we found her so Yeah it's time to go." I answer.

Then we trio walk back to rejoin the rest of the small group.

Niea was now sitting on the back of Evergreen with Windrider still on her wing.

"Well let's head out now" Evergreen states then we take off.

"Well let's head over to the Cometflight mountain now." Evergreen says.

It was dark when we reached the mountain.

The market island was actually a part of the Cometflight island so the Cometflight's had allowed the other tribes to have the market there if they paid for it.

But there was this rumor about how the tribes had originally settled on the market island before moving to their own islands when they first got to Palera but of course no one knew if it was really true since a lot of things were rumored about the of the archipiélagos history.

We land at one of the tunnel entrances near the top of the mountain. Two Cometflights came to meet us.

"What do want you group" the first one asked. 

"Starlight we don't have to be rude" the first Cometflight told the second.

"Uh we've came to see the prophecyr" Evergreen answered.

"Why?" The second one, Starlight asked.

"It's about a prophecy that he had said" Evergreen answered.

"Hm? So your just going to believe that little snow Leopards nonsense" Starlight asked.

"I'm Shadow and I can bring you to the prophecyr and the prophecyr in training." The first one, Shadow offered.

"Yes thank you" Evergreen accepted.

We head down the tunnels, they were lit by the torches that hung on the walls.

"I thought prophecyrs were only picked after the last one died." I comment.

"Well he looked into the future and saw the next was going to be a Cometflight so he decided training him well he was still around wasn't a bad idea." Shadow replied

"And before you say anything my name is similar to the prophecyr in trainings name" Shadow said

"What's his name then?" I ask.

"His name is ShadowSeeker." Shadow answers.

Another Cometflight ran up to Shadow. "Shadow have you seen my brother I can't find him" the Cometflight asked.

"No Luna I haven't seen Star. Sorry" Shadow answered.

"Okay thanks anyway" the Cometflight known as Luna drooped their head and sighed before turning and walking away. 

We continue down the tunnels until we seem to be really deep in the mountain. That's around when we finally reached the prophecyr's cave.

Evergreen walked in first with Windrider on her wing and Niea on her back then Aquamarine with Seafoam on hers and I go behind them.

"Umm hello I'm-" Evergreen said.

"She's Vine dragon" Niea yelled interrupting Evergreen. The Rosewing let's out a small laugh before speaking again. "I'm Evergreen not Vine dragon."

"I'm ShadowSeeker and it's nice to uhm...finally meet you guys." ShadowSeeker greeted us.

"What do you mean finally?" Evergreen askes tilting her head slightly.

"I uh sorta had a vision showing you coming a while ago but I hadn't heard your names...so uh yeah that's why." ShadowSeeker was fidgeting with his talons as he spoke 

"So does that make you the prophecyr in training?" Evergreen asks.

"Yeah I am but anyone could take an glimpse into the future." ShadowSeeker answered.

"Anyway Uh what's everyone else's names?" ShadowSeeker asks.

"My names Gale." I introduce myself.

"I'm Aquamarine this is Seafoam."

Windrider chirped.

"Uhm...I'm yet to get the ability to understand all animals so young hawk." ShadowSeeker told the bird.

"Oh yeah he said his name is Windrider." Evergreen introduced the hawk.

"I'm Niea of the Morning clan." Niea smiles as she introduces herself.

"We're hoping you'll join us to help us save Palera so well you come with us?" Evergreen askes.

"Uh I erm I would love to but I just wouldn't want anything bad to happen when I'm away that I could stop." ShadowSeeker rambled.

A Snow Leopard came out of a tunnel entrance in the side of the cave. "No matter what you do young one that can't be avoided." he spoke in an calm voice.

"Well doesn't everything happen for some reason or another?" Aquamarine asks.

"Uh well I just don't want anything bad happen to those I care about." ShadowSeeker sighs.

"You can't prevent everything bad stuff happens all the time it's just part of life." Aquamarine states.

"I know that!" ShadowSeeker responds. His claws scape against the cool stone.

"Then why not just come with us and help go against the bigger bads like the FeatherStream War for Queen Koi's sake." Aquamarine growls. She lashes her tail in annoyance.

"I don't know what to do!" ShadowSeeker complained as he wrapped his talons around his head and shutting his eyes.

"Young one you need not make a choice right away take a night to think on it come back in the morning then make your decision."  The old snow leopard suggests.

"Uh alright" ShadowSeeker responds lowering his talons from his head he turns to us. "You could come and sleep in my place I uh have plenty room." A small hopeful look appears on his face.

"If your willing to offer us a place we'll graciously accept won't we?" I turn to speak to the rest of the group as I spoke. The others nod in agreement. And so we head off with ShadowSeeker to his home.

"Doesn't kinda get lonely living alone?" I ask

"Yeah but my sister Galaxy visits often." ShadowSeeker responds.

"But uh here over here is a room a few of you guys can stay in." He leads us into an bedroom, an easel sits in the right corner with a few various art supplies sitting with it and an large bed lays against left wall. "Hm a artie kinda room." I comment

"Yeah my brother lived in it before he moved out he's quite the artist." ShadowSeeker replies.

"Ah okay I might stay in this one." I respond.

"Alright." ShadowSeeker nods before leading the others out.

I walk over to the bed and lie down falling asleep easily.

I awake the next morning to hearing voices in the living room.

I get up and stretch before heading out to the living room, the kitchen was connected to the living room and over there stood ShadowSeeker chatting with another Cometflight that I presume must be his sister Galaxy, Evergreen is sitting at the dinning table speaking to Windrider.

"Well foods done now come eat!" The Cometflight I guess must be Galaxy called out.

We walk over and sit around the table.

"I'm gonna need to head back and get my stuff if we're going to be continuing on." Niea states.

"I can bring her back to get her stuff." Aquamarine offers.

"Sure if you don't mind." Evergreen replies.

"How about after we convince everyone to join us we meet up on the market island in case one of us got lost." I suggest

"That's a great idea Gale." Evergreen smiles at me.

"Well are we going to have breakfast or not?" The slightly older Cometflight asks.

"Hey bat breath asking that way makes it sound like your trying to be rude." ShadowSeeker grins and states

"Well I've got work soon so I'm eating ya sly salamander." Galaxy said and she grabbed a plate and began to eat.

"So anything new with you and Moon" ShadowSeeker asks.

"Nothing at all why would you even bring that up?" Galaxy asked.

"Oh no reason." ShadowSeeker waves a talon.

Galaxy rolls her eyes and continues eating.

I grab my own plate and begin eating for myself.
