Perils's POV

In front of Peril was Tsunami. The blue SeaWing princess was startled into lashing her tail.

"Peril! Be more careful!" Peril had the nagging urge to burn that scowl right off Tsunami's snout.

"I'm-"

"Clay's this way." Tsunami gingerly turned away and slowly blended into the dark cave behind her. Peril followed, smoke swirling miserably around her horns.

Peril pricked her ears, listening to the muffled voices around her. They stopped instantly as Peril's heat took up the cave.

"Peril?" It was Starflight. He lifted up the lantern in his claws, not that he'd be able to see any better.

"Yes, Peril." Peril coughed to try cover as her voice faltered.

Suddenly, the air shimmered and a dark blue and yellow-green RainWing came into view.

"Hello Peril." Glory's voice was ridged but less harsh than Peril thought it would be. Glory's scales glistened in the faint lantern light.

"Hello Queen Glory," Peril said in a small voice. Glory frowned slightly.

A/N Glory came for a visit so that's why she's here

"We'll leave, then," Starflight quickly stood up, brushed wings with Clay and left, Tsunami and Glory on his tail.

"Peril."

The soft sound drifted in the air. If Peril had felt any different, she was sure she would burst into flames of joy.

Clay's eyes darted along Peril's face, and he looked... worried. He lifted up one of his wings, revealing some of his amber under scales.

"Come."

Peril ducked her head and plopped down next to him, nudging her talon under his.

"Are you alright? You seem..." Clay paused, "Not yourself." His strong build nuzzled into her side, and he smiled.

There was no way in the world Peril couldn't give even a faint smile back. The way he made her feel when he looked at her made everything seem worth it.

"I-I guess I'm not," Peril sighed, entwining her tail with Clay's. "I-I have something to get off my chest." Peril gulped. A large, choking lump was forming in Peril's throat, and she gulped several more times.

"I... I... I..." Peril choked out. Her claws twitched pointlessly.

"I-I-" And Peril couldn't take it any longer.

Peril shot out of the cave, swerving out of the way of others. Tears sizzled on her scales, and, wings billowing, she crashed into her cave, sobbing in great heaves.

Qibli's POV

Qibli watched the blazing dragon zoom through the corridors. He almost heard something like... crying. Qibli decided it'd be best to leave Peril alone, so he went to report to Moon.

As he did so, he saw Clay dash out of his cave.

"Peril! Wait! Whats wrong?" And then he disappeared after the Fire-scales SkyWing.

'Oh. So there really is something going on with Peril.' Qibli flexed his talons and jogged to Turtle's cave, where he and Moon were waiting.

"Any news?" Urged Moon.

"Well.." Qibli explained in full detail what he had heard and saw.

"Oh oh oh..." Moon gasped. she swept her tail around her claws. "We have to know more. Turtle, your next."

"But-why- fine." Turtle stomped one talon and set to work
