A/N: Hey, guys, Renx here!
Please read this whole author's note.
This chapter will have a few spoilers for book 15, so if you haven't read it yet, you might want to skim through the part where Webs starts talking about the Scorching, but after that, you should be fine, and you'll want to keep reaading, because I think this is my favorite chapter in this whole book.
Also, I've been learning Tolkien's Sindarin Elvish language, and I add ad a few Sindarin phrases to this chapter.
Sorry about any misspellings!

Pelco's POV

"Turn your history books to page 150", Webs said in his annoying slow voice.

Webs, one of these days, I swear I will strangle you.
But for now, I guess I'll just have to live with your frustrating droning voice, I thought to myself humorously.

When I turned to page 150, I found a peice of paper weged inbetween the pages.

"Well, who left this here?", I asked myself softly.

I unwraveled the paper to read it and when I did, I got a shock.

The note read: Stay out of our way, or your life and the lives of your friends will be put on the line.

I gasped.

Whoever the colperates are, they're getting very desperate.
I'd better watch my step.
But, if they think they can make me stop investigating, they're wrong.

"Hrmph, ahem, Pelco, you don't seem to be focused on the leason. Pay attention", Webs said.

"Geez, so annoying", I said under my breath.

"At least this is the last subject for today", Earthreal said.

"Yup, worst subject last like all ways", Avocet put in.

"Ahem, as I was saying, due to a recent expedition to pantala, we now know more about The Scorching than previously."

I now sat up straight; the exprotion to Pantala always facintated me.

"As it turns out, The Scorching was caused by one scavenger: a human named Cotttonmouth.
Cottonmouth thought he could control dragons and use them for war.
So, he kinapped many baby dragons in hopes of training them to obey him.
But, his vilage was attacked by dragons, who then took Phyrria from humans and for over four million years, dragons had control of our conteint.But, Cottonmouth and a few of his followers, excaped from the dragons and sailed away to Pantala.
"There, Cottenmouth discovered something, a weopon he could use to control the dragons."

"The Breath of evil", Oaktail put in.

I felt a shiver go down my spine.

"Yes. Cottonmouth modified the plant so that it would control dragons. But, it took over three million years for the plant to develope into what Cottonmouth wanted it to.
Cottonmouth did not know the great prise he would pay for his desires; the plant took control and for over three million years the plant held his body captive and Cottonmouth's evil thought persisted.
Even when the Breath of evil fell into the shadows, Cottenmuth survived."

There was a pause as everyone waited for him to continue.

"But, we're still talking about the Scorching, which is over four million years after the scorching."

I slamed my head on my desk.

He had to stop right when things were getting interesting.

I tried not to drift off as Webs droned on, but my mind keept going back to the mystery, so finally, I allowed myself to float off.

What was the treasure the two voices were talking about?
What was the singnal they'll be using?
Who are they?
Where's Seasnake?
Are Damselfly's friends still missing?
Does she still suspect Oaktail?
How can I catch the colperates?

SMALL TIMESKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY the epic legend of Kinkajou

After class, I just so happend to find Damselfly in the art room.

"Damselfly, who were the other dragons who were in the room when you were attacked?", I asked.

"Lacewing the Hivewing, Seasnake, a Seawing, and Silverbell the Leafwing", she answered after a moment of silence.

"Have you seen any of them since the attack?"

"I haven't seen Lacewing or Silverbell since then and I've only ever seen Seasnake every now-and-then."

She looked at me darkly.

"You shouldn't hang out with Oaktail.You're too atttached to him. The evidence clearly points to him."

"Just because you were attacked by a Leafwing doesn't mean it was Oaktail. You couldn't see your asailant's face, so, you can't confirm who it was. It could be anyone!", I insisted.

Damselfly shoved past me and walk away angrily.

Could she be right?
Am I missing something?
What would I do if he was involved?
He couldn't be involved...right?

My head started to throb.

Agh, this mystery is giving me a head-ache.

I walked into the kichen, where Cliff and Auklet were eating ice-cream.

I slamed my head on the counter with a groan.

"What's wrong, Pelco?", Oaktail asked.

"This mystery is is giving me a head-ache", I told him.

"Avoro níeth, Melleth nîn."
(don't worry, my love)

"Len hánon, nîn melda."
(thank you, my beloved)

"Pelco, you need a break. Repeat after me", Tody said, clearing his throat,"Hakuna matata."

I glanced at Oaktail.
"What?"

"Hakuna matata! It means no worries", Cliff explained.

"Hakuna matata, what a wonderful phrase."

"Hakuna matata ain't no passing craz!"

Now Auklet joined their song.

"It means no worries for the rest of your days!"

"It's our problem free philosophy! Hakuna matata!"

"So, what's going on?", I asked.

"Pelco, my friend, you need a break", Dusky said in his sweet voice.

"Here Pelco, have some ice-cream", Cliff said, passing the container to me.

I hesitated.
"Um, I've never, uhhhh..."

"What's wrong, Pelco?", Dusky askd.

"It's just, um, I've never, um, I've... I'veneverhadicecream!", I blurted.
(I've never had ice-cream)

Bumblebee gasped.

"YOU"VE NEVER HAD ICE_CREAM?! Oh my, child, oh my poor baby! You must try the ice-cream, it's so good, it's so good!", bumblebee cried, grabbing my face in her small, striped talons.

"Open wide!", Cliff said, giving me a spoonful of ice-cream.

I stared blankly for a moment.

"Pelco, speak to me! Say something! Say anything!", Oaktail cried shaking me.

"That.Was.Amazing!"

"Told you so."

"Hakuna matata, hakuna matata, hakuna matata!"

"Com'on, Pelco!"

"It means no worries for the rest of your days!"

"It's our problem free philosophy! Hakuna matata!"

"Cliff, you are a Baboon", oaktail said.

"No he's not, he's my boyfriend!", Auklet corrected.

"And you two make quite the couple", I commented.

"Why thank you."

Oaktail twined his tail around mine.

I looked into his beautiful blue eyes until I found myself lost in them.

"You set nîn ore on nuar, Melleth Nîn."
(you set my heart on fire, My Love)

"Oooooooh, a seacret love language!", Bumblebee whispered in her famously loud whisper.

"No, it's just Sindarin", Oaktail told her.

"I'm pretty sure Elvish counts as a love language", Bumblebee remarked.

Dusky looked at Bublebee with a look a longing in his eyes.

Poor, sweet, shy Dusky.
I hope he's able to tell her how she feels when the time comes.

As we walked down the hall, I heard druming coming from the music room.

They were druming in a pattern; two big drums were used for the first two beats. One small drum was used for the last one.
This was repeated five times.

I glanced inside and saw a Seawing playing the drums, her back toward us.

"What are you playing?", I asked,walking into the room.

Seasnake jumped.
"Oh, hey Pelco. I'm just practicing my drums", she answered with a nervous twitch of her tail.

"Well, I 'd better get going; I have homework to do."
She walked off before I could say anything else.

Was that the signal? It could've been just be a coicidence, but, you can explain anything by a conicidence 'Sun came up for the billionth time? Just a conicidence.'
If it was the signal, what does it mean?

"Pelco, stop, you're thinking about the mystery.You need to chill out and enjoy the moment."

"Oh, crap, here we go again."

"Hakuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuna matata! Hakuna matata! Yeah, matata, ha ha ha...."
