(SnowyStar's POV)

  I was out looking for berries for my mom. She doesn't usually make me go out this far out but, still, it was freedom. I was holding a nice basket, woven by my father before he left to the Ice Kingdom.

  I soared high up in the air, letting the wind cover me. I could see the trees below me woosh to the side as I passed them. When I saw the area the berry bushes were in, I dove into the trees making the leaves and branches rustle.

  I quietly padded under trees once I got onto the ground, just in case some Rainwings were sleeping or training out there. I abruptly stopped, seeing there was a bush here already.

      Maybe Lemon added it

   I got my basket out and plucked a few berries, but then heard,"Hey! Quit that!". I jumped back, startled, dropping my basket, and my berries spilled out.

  "A talking bush?" I asked, poking it.

"Hey! No! Yuck," The bush said. "I'm not a bush."

   "Riiight," I said, not convinced.

  A moment after I said that, the bush morphed into a dragon. I stared at it, wide-eyed. The 'bush' clutched its shoulder, wincing. A bit of blood trickled down.

   "Ow," It said. I realized that was the place where I picked some berries when he was a bush.

  "Oh, geez," I said. "Hey maybe I can help," I dashed over to a pile of leaves, picked some up, and came back, plastering them over his wound. I was going to do what I saw RainWing healers do once. He leaned on a big, sturdy tree for support, watching me. But instead of thanking me, he threw it off.

   "No," The bush-dragon said. "That'll make it worse." I scrunched my snout up.

  He limped over to my basket and picked up the berries that spilled from my it. He then put them on his wound. They suddenly started to change shape, and fixed the cut in his skin.

   I watched all of this. "What kind of dragon are you?" I asked, poking him once more.

  "I was going to as you the same thing," He replied, flicking my talon. "I haven't seen your kind for a while. Thought it was some myth."

     Myth? I thought there were more Ice-Nightwings out there.

  "What do you mean?" I asked.

  He sighed. "Nevermind, you don't even know your own kind," He got up and was about to leave, but I stopped him.

  "Wait, I don't even know your name, Bush-Dragon."

"I'm not a 'Bush-Dragon'. And my name's Endless, but my friends call me End."

  "Oh, I'm Snowy." I said, not telling him my full name. "Hi End."

"I said my friends," He said, a bit grumpily, and launched into the sky.

  "You can come anytime, End!" I called. He didn't answer, and kept on flying.

_____________(Back at the NightWing Forest)

  "Hey mom!" I called from the clearing. The shade of the trees were the only thing keeping me cool. It grew hotter, but it didn't bother me too much.

   "Snowy!" She said, running over to hug me. "I missed you!"

"It was only a few minutes," I said, but I was happy she was hugging me. "Oh, also Mom,"

  "Yes?"

"I, um, met this dragon," I said. "He was like a bush-dragon."

  "You and your imagination," She said, not believing me. "Come on, Queen Glory would like to see you."

   I sighed. Mom sometimes was like this.

  Says the dragon who tells me myths and legends of different tribes

  We came into the Royal Palace, guards greeting us. We walked down to the Royal Pavilion, just me and my mother. It unsettled me, though. I knew there were super-secret invisible guards everywhere too, watching our every move.

  Mom opened the doors, and went into the room. I quickly followed, and observed our surroundings. A light hung from the ceiling, but it seemed like it was off. Natural sunlight came in from the gigantic windows, making me feel like I was outside. There was a dragon sitting at a table, busily writing something.

   The dragon looked up, and I realized it was Queen Glory. "Welcome," She greeted us as we bowed.

  "StarBeam, you may go. I will escort your daughter once I am finished." My mother nodded, acknowledging the queen, and then quickly left. Queen Glory looked at me.

  "SnowyStar," She said. "I have been hearing of a NightWing named NightChaser. He has been wreaking havoc in my kingdom, and I have a feeling he's coming after someone," She said.

   "What do you need me for, your majesty?"

  Queen Glory stood up from her chair. "Well, I need bait," She started, coming closer to me. "Will you help me?"

   I didn't know what to say. Bait for a murderer? I blinked 7 times and then gulped.

"Um, of course, your majesty." She patted me on the shoulder.

   "We will start tomorrow morning."

 Suddenly, I was aware of something moving in the corner. "Queen, look out!"

   A NightWing jumped on her. "NightWings will rule themselves!!" He declared, slashing at her face. She hissed, but the NightWing tied her mouth up quickly, knowing about the venom. He smashed the Queen's head on the floor, leaving her unconscious.

  I jumped on the NightWing (I guessed his name was NightChaser), and pinned him down. He was bigger than me, so he had an advantage. NightChaser slashed at my face, the same way he did with Queen Glory, and kicked as hard as he could with his hind-legs.

  I fell back, but he didn't finish me off. Light blue blood oozed down my face as he went for the Queen. I was too dizzy to do anything, but suddenly one of Glory's plants morphed into a dragon.

   Bush-Dragon

  End jumped onto NightChaser, biting into his neck. Blood dripped slowly from the bite. NightChaser screamed, so I knew that was a weak point. NightChaser wriggled and squirmed, trying to free himself. Queen Glory stirred, but her eyes were still closed.

  End threw NightChaser off her, pinning him between his talons. NightChaser closed his eyes, thinking this was the end. I thought End would finish him off too, but instead he did something else. He got closer to NightChaser's face so he could hear him.

  "Leave the Kingdom, and leave these dragons alone. Or I swear I will slit your throat right here, right now," He said. "So I suggest if you want your life, leave."

  NightChaser nodded quickly, and End let him free. He zoomed past me, panting. I slowly walked up to End, still a bit dizzy. "That. Was. Awesome."

  End smiled shyly, and rubbed the back of his head. Finally, Queen Glory was conscious again, but her face was mad. Like a moma bird when she sees her babies trying to fly without her permission. The Queen got the rope off of her snout, and I could see her snout was rope-burned by it.

   "You-" She started. "YOU ATTACKED ME AND MY KINGDOM! YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!"

I realized that she thought End attacked her, but in reality, he was the true hero.
