Chapter 3- Fire and water
As they arrived at the Fire Kingdom, Bruniik said that Queen Emerald has everyone turned against the ForestWings, "Onyx and I will sneak in with the rest of the entering troops. The FireWings said they wanted to guard their treasure." He said. Squirrel agreed to stay hidden until they bring out the needed FireWing.
As they came out of the mountain with a FireWing, he looked rather small.
"My name is Flame." The FireWing said. "I was already told you are Squirrel and this is Onyx. And the DeathWing that is eating a pig over there is Bruniik."
"What?" Bruniik said with a mouth full of pig. "I was hungry!"
As they flew off to the Sea Kingdom, Squirrel thought of what she could do to get Bruniik to like her. *I think you shouldn't get involved with a DeathWing.* a voice said in her head. 'Who are you?' she thought. Hearing no answer, she kept flying.
They arrived at a beach and saw a WaveWing. His fins were too small and his wings were too big. They landed next to him and he let out a yelp.
"Don't kill me!" He cried when he saw Bruniik
"Why don't other dragons understand?" Bruniik asked. "I don't like to kill!"
"Don't hurt me!" He shouted again. Squirrel put a claw an his arm and looked him in the eye.
"We need you." She said.
"Why?" The WaveWing asked. "I'm useless!"
"Not according to the legend." Bruniik said.
"I'm in the legend?" The dragonet asked. "OK. I'm Sea. Pleased to meet you!" They all greeted and told Sea their names.
They were about to go to the Shadow kingdom when they passed a small building. Not what a dragon would build. It was too small. Squirrel landed in the center of the small cluster of buildings to be greeted by small heads poking out of windows. The heads had fur on only the top of their heads. After one look at her they squealed and hid.
All but one. Squirrel immediately recognized them as scavengers. The small scavenger stood before her, staring into her eyes and frozen from fear. Squirrel slowly edged towards the scavenger, as she kept still. Squirrel reached out and the scavenger let out a small whimper.
Squirrel picked up the scavenger, who was now struggling to get out of the dragon's claws. She didn't want to hurt the scavenger, just look at it. Then armored scavengers came out with long pointed sticks. Her new friends hid as Squirrel put down the scavenger. A different scavenger climbed up her neck and hit her hard with a heavy stick. The last thing she saw was darkness.
