I woke up to the sound of birds chirping. I looked around. I was in the forest still. I tried to move only to feel myself unable to. I immediately saw a Nature Dragoness look at me.
"Hey. Your awake." She happily said. I tried moving again, I couldn't. I realized I was in a spread out one. Vines had were around my legs, wings, tail and neck.
"Please don't move too much. You'll disrupt the vines of healing." She said in a sweet voice. "What happened?" Where is my team?" I asked.
"Team?" She asked.
"Yes. Two Royal Earth Dragons and two Nature Dragons who use Bows and a Dark Dragoness." I explained.
"I saw two of them. The two Nature Dragons brought you and your buddy here. Both of you should be completely healed by tomorrow." The nurse explained.
"Be we were in a huge fight!"
"Against the pirates? They are tough Dragons. However, they fled yesterday. I heard it was because they were low in numbers." The nurse interrupted. I tried looking at Umbra who was beside me. She looked a lot better. A scratch here and there but nothing as bad as when I previously saw her. She was asleep. Being a Dark Dragon, I started to wonder if she saw me when nighttime rules around. I decided to go to sleep and let the day pass since I couldn't do much. I thought of things that made me happy to insure I wouldn't have a nightmare. The time Prince Dune was the only dragon who came to my tenth hatching day and he got me a admittedly rushed drawing of me and him was a good one. Another one was when I passed the test to require my privilege to use a Lance and half the class hatted me was another fun one. I tried thinking of more before I passed out.

When I finally fell asleep, I was greeted with my dream. A flashback of the guard test. It went through normally until the part I saw the Dark Dragon. I got a second chance to see him. I was right. Every single detail was Nebula. After Nebula flew away, I let all the terrible booing and yelling pass. I was just relieved to know it was Nebula.

I woke up to Umbra sniffing me.
"Umm. Hi." I responded uneasily. I'm not really sure what Umbra was doing because I never studied on how Dragons behave towards each other. I knew a lot of guard and battle info. I just didn't know about what dragons do. "Oh. Good morning. You seem uneasy." Umbra said.
"I just wanted to know why you were sniffing me. The nurses have me all fixed up and I don't smell good." I responded.
"Oh. It's something dragons do when they want to remember another dragons scent. If you were to get lost, we could pick up your scent. Besides, you just smell good." Umbra responded.
"Uuuuhhhhh. That's good to know." I responded. I thought Umbra was weird. Maybe she just liked the scent of dirt.
"You didn't notice? The vines not only heal you, but leave this scent that just makes any elemented dragon just want to smell it." Umbra explained. I then realized that the vines were removed completely. I got up and looked at Umbra.
"The nurses told me to wait until you woke up. Then we could go." Umbra said spreading her wings.
"Do you know where the others are?" I asked. "Yes. Leaf came in here and told me instructions to his hideout that sweetheart." Umbra responded blushing.
"Then let's get going." I instructed. Both of us flew off. Maybe it was because I hadn't flown for a little while, but it felt refreshing to finally fly. I looked at Umbra. "Where did Leaf tell you to go?" I asked. "Follow me then." Umbra responded. We flew through a lot of trees. We eventually reached Leaf's base with two a few seconds.
