"What's this?", Leaf asked. I need a big lie right now. "The sun goes down what do you think? You slept a long time", Sloth answered.

"But the sun is right up there!", Thunder snapped. "No it isn't. You're just tiered", Sloth said calmly. Thunder hissed but he didn't argue anymore.

He is to proud for it. Leaf didn't say anything. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to give her two of this enchanted things? But it was to late anyway.

"And now go, please", Sloth begged. Leaf just nodded and hold her head. "I have headaches", she said. So I was right. Hope she is normal soon.

"Come on I'm taking you back", Thunder said but it sounded like he wanted to hiss or snap or do whatever. But than he wrapped one wing around Leaf.

"I'm going to help you. Maybe it would be better if we stay here? She's hurt." Hope he stays like this! "No. Go now!", Sloth shouted.

The both confused dragons didn't argue anymore and flew into the mountain again. Sloth sighted. And now I have to find Dawnbringer before she does anything cruel!

Than she heard a scream coming from the inside. I have to hurry up! When Sloth thought about her friends she could imagine thousand ways how Dawn could kill them.

But when Sloth arrived she was nowhere to see. There were just her friends and the ground was spotted with blood.

"Where were you?", Shadowclaw asked...worried? "I-I..." But they didn't seem to care about it. "We needed you here! We nearly loosed b-but than she disappeared!", River screamed.

Don't be silly! "Dirt was really hurt", Eclipse added. "You should have been here!", Hunter shouted. Sloth's wings dropped.

"I-I know b-but Dawn was g-gone and I-I searched her.. and than I found Leaf and Thunder..." With once Sloth was sure that she did the right thing.

I couldn't let them alone! "You doesn't need any excuses for being a coward!", Hunter snarled. How can he says something like this!

"They aren't here anymore! You can go and look if you want!", Sloth snapped. "Hey! Stop it Hunter!", Ripple shouted.

"The most important thing is that we find some teachers that we can warn about Dawnbringer!, Shadow replied. The others nodded.

"What happened here?", a voice asked and a little Rainwing appeared. "I was just for a few minutes gone and I find you here." It was Tamarin.

"Here you are! We have to tell you something!", BlackIce shouted. "We did this here. We ate a goat because we were very hungry and we also send the others home. When we came in we saw Spirit! My sister...I-I can't believe it! M-my sister! She's d-dead!" BlackIce started crying.

What was that! Why isn't she telling the true? Sloth opened her mouth to tell the true story. "Yes she's right", Sloth replied. What did I say?

"Spirit was always happy and mow..", Ripple said sadly. Why can't we say anything? "We doesn't know who did this really! You have to tell my mother!", River screamed.

Dawnbringer! It was Dawnbringer! "Go and get the others", Tamarin said to River. She nodded. We have to do something. But what? How can we help somebody when we can't speak about the danger?

"Do you have something to write?", Shadowclaw asked suddenly. "Yes. It's in my cave right here", Tamarin answered and guided them to a little cave near the second entrance.

Shadow grabbed a empty scroll and wrote something at it. "Here", he said. "She's blind you camel brain", Hunter snapped.

Now we have to wait until River is back with teachers that can actually read. Sloth sighed. This has to work. Of course. Dawn enchanted us so that we can't speak about the things that happened here. Why is she so smart?

"What are we doing now?", BlackIce whispered. "I-I don't know...why are you a-asking me?", Sloth asked quietly. Than the other teachers came.

"WE ARE HERE! WHAT HAPPENED!", Tsunami shouted. "Spirit died", BlackIce whispered and Shadow gave her the scroll.

"You...ate a...goat?", Clay asked confused. "What!", Shadowclaw shouted and looked over his shoulder. Too. Intelligent. "And who is this?", Sunny asked Eclipse.

"I-I. My name is Eclipticmoon. I live in the near of Jade Mountain and flew around when I heard a cry. Than I came here and saw them", she explained quickly.

Sunny nodded. Wow. She believes her. "You can go back to your sleeping caves", Tsunami said. "B-but! My sister!", BlackIce shouted.

"Don't worry. We will catch the murderer", Sunny answered gently. BlackIce nodded confused. "And you. You can fly back to your home", Tsunami said to Eclipse.

"But I want to help!", she answered upset. "Than go with the others", Starflight explained. But we have to do.. something. I can't just sit here and watch them!

Sloth opened her mouth but Ripple was faster. "We're going", he said quickly but the adults didn't notice him anyway. "What are we doing now?", River screamed after they walked a while.

"We listen to them, I guess." BlackIce sighted. "B-b-but..", River stuttered. "We can't do something else ok! So just shut up!", Hunter snarled.

"I think she is right! We have to do something", Shadow argued. "But we are save here!", Ripple hissed. "But for how long!"

We have to do something but we can't do it when we're arguing all the time! We have to fly after Dawn...we have to stop her somehow.

"We can't risk our life!", Ripple snapped. "But my sister! Do you want that she died for nothing? That we couldn't even catch her murderer?", BlackIce shouted.

"Stop this. W-when we..go a-all together we..", Sloth whispered but no one listened. "But Dawn is so scary!", River screamed. "But she will kill your grandmother when we don't don't do anything!", Eclipse argued.

"SHUT UP I SAID! ALL OF YOU!" Everyone was silent. "I-I mean. W-we can do that. Sh-she can't be that f-far away, I guess. But when we-we are standing here a-arguing we w-won't help anybody. I don't know what y-you are doing now but I'm going to search Dawnbringer before she can kill the queens", Sloth stuttered.

"I'm coming with you", BlackIce said , "I will take revenge for my sister." Sloth smiled thankfully. "I'm helping you too. What do except?", Eclipse asked.

"But-but this is so...scary! And dangerous!", River screamed. Well you don't have to come camel brain! "I'm not going on a journey where this dragon is the leader!", Hunter snapped. "And you don't even now where to search first!"

He is right. "In the rainforest of course. Queen Glory lives there and it's not to far away", BlackIce said. Ripple sighed. "I'm coming with you. I can't let my queen die, right?", he said.

I thought you don't want to go ... "I would want to come to. If you allow it?", Shadowclaw said calmly.

What should I say now? He said that he doesn't care about me...but it didn't seems like that...and Ripple is coming with me..and my friends...do I even need him? Do I want him with us? How odd. Somehow I do...and somehow not...

Ripple answered for her. "Why should you come? After everything you said? You don't even like her! Here is no place for you!", he hissed.

Shadow opened his mouth but than he closed it again and nodded. "But I want you to know that I did this because I had to do it not because I wanted it. When you ever need me again...." Sloth thought it would be impossible but her heart broke again.

"Let's go now!", BlackIce shouted. She nodded. The five dragons flew into the red sky. Sloth leaded them far, far away from the mountain. And it was the second time that she cried since her arriving at the academy.
