==Chapter 26: Used==
Luminescent woke up in an all too familiar desert. smoof "Oh, no." she began, just before Neritic tapped Luminescent on the back, like how she normally did to Blackheart. "Your not the ghost. Where are you?" Neritic asked, frantically. "Who are you?" Luminescent asked Neritic. "PLEASE WAKE ME UP!" Neritic began to beg. "I DON'T WANT TO SEE MY SISTER OR THAT OTHER DRAGON ANYMORE! THEY'VE BEEN HAUNTING ME FOR TOO LONG NOW!" she screamed. Suddenly, flames erupted from the desert sand, as an actual ghost rose from the ground. "WHAT IS HAPPENING!" Luminescent screamed. Then the ghost cast it's glare on Luminescent. "WHY ARE YOU HERE!" The ghost yelled. "I WANT THE INJURED NIGHTWING NOT YOU!" a mirror rose from the ground, and Neritic seemed to be forced to grab it. "What are you--" Luminescent began, but Neritic answered all to soon. "STOP FORCING ME TO SHOW THIS MIRROR TO EVERYONE!" Neritic yelled. She ghastly walked over to Luminescent and held the mirror to her head. "WHO ARE YOU REALLY!" The ghost yelled. Luminescent tried to stare away from the mirror, but something forced her to stare at it. "Your not looking away for a while now." A new voice said from behind Luminescent. Another ghost glided in front of Luminescent. She stared into the mirror, against her own will, and saw the image beginning to melt in half. "no no NO NO NO" Luminescent shouted, beginning to feel as if she were actually melting in half. Neritic looked away. Then, the older ghost flicked his talon and Neritic began to watch, also against her own will. Luminescent began to feel burning, as a white light emerged from her chest. The necklace was glowing. A bubble began to form around the necklace and soon it surrounded Luminescent, she didn't feel as if she were melting anymore. "WHAT!?" The younger ghost shouted. The bubble split into two and one surrounded Neritic. she looked down and walked in a circle. "I'm free!" Neritic cheered. "IMPOSSIBLE!" the older ghost yelled. Then the mirror got surrounded by a bubble too. Then the mirror exploded. "NO!" Both of the ghosts shouted. The elder one sank into the ground, angrily. Later, so did the younger one right after shouting, "WE'LL BE BACK TO END ALL THREE OF YOU! JUST YOU WAIT!" Luminescent stared at Neritic, who ran up to Luminescent and hugged her. "Thank you, for freeing me... for now." Neritic cried. "Your welcome." Luminescent whispered. "For now."
== Chapter 27: Sand ==
Luminescent woke up, with a jolt. Everything was dark, but whatever she was in was glowing an ominous orange. Am I in Thorn's kingdom? Luminescent noticed she was unusually thirsty. "Is anyone there?" Luminescent asked. "Yup." a voice from outside replied. "Shut up you Idiot! Glory doesn't want us talking to the prisoner." Luminescent began to feel butterflies in her stomach, hearing the word, prisoner. "Um, why am in a... thingy?" Luminescent didn't know why she was being treated this way. "Well, Glory demanded it after you hurt Deathbringer!" The voice outside explained. "QUIET!" a third voice shouted. "I HURT DEATHBRINGER!?" Luminescent screamed. "It was only a scratch." Deathbringer's voice said. "Anyways, we're almost at Thorn's kingdom." Luminescent's necklace began to burn. "Please, let us... me go!" Luminescent begged before saying, "I am so sorry for hurting you." Luminescent could hear confused voices in her head. It almost seems like she's two dragons. Deathbringer thought. "Alright, the fortress is below us." Deathbringer's voice announced. Luminescent could feel the dragons holding her swerve downward. "Ah! Deathbringer, it's always a pleasure to see you." a voice from outside greeted. "Ha! Well today isn't really a pleasure. I have a... rainwing here who needs to be placed in your prisons for, well, you know Glory." Deathbringer responded. "Oh, well let's talk to Thorn. Leave the rainwing out here and Smolder will come and get him or her." The dragon stated. "Alright." Deathbringer responded, his voice getting quieter as Deathbringer walked into the castle. Luminescent could hear the other dragons carrying her footsteps fading into the kingdom. Luminescent waited a minute then began to thrash around in the bag. Finally, she tore open part of it. She reached both of her talons into the tear and began to pull her talons away from each other. Eventually, she had opened up a hole big enough for her to leave the bag. Luminescent risked a peek into the castle and saw a male sandwing with the rare diamond patterned scales walking toward the entrance to the castle. Luminescent figured it was Smolder, but she didn't want to find out. Luminescent covered her snout and began to sneak around the walls of the castle. Blackheart had heard of the Stronghold, which was now Thorn's castle. Luminescent risked looking up, thankfully, there were no dragon heads above her, but she could tell one had been perched above her because blood stained the spike and some of the wall. When Luminescent felt that she was far enough, she took flight. Luminescent knew that the dragons who'd taken Luminescent to the castle had taken the tunnel. However Luminescent didn't know where the tunnel was located. "Well then," Luminescent began while flying. It looks like we're going to take the long way home.
== Chapter 28: Possibility ==
Luminescent flew for a while, looking for an oasis to drink some water. Luckily, instead of an oasis, Luminescent spotted a town. Luminescent descended and immediately began asking everyone for water. Everyone had water, however everyone asked Luminescent to pay for it, whatever that meant. Finally, someone gave Luminescent the water she needed. "Thank you!" Luminescent cheered, then began to drink the water. "Hey, no problem!" the skywing responded. "I'm not sure what this 'pay' thing is but I am not a fan of it." Luminescent finished the water and gave the jar back to the skywing. "Yeah." Luminescent agreed. "Are you like a Skywing-Icewing hybrid?" The skywing looked at Luminescent as if she got asked that a lot. "Nope," she began, "I'm a little unusual for a pure blood skywing, but I'm still a skywing." Luminescent began to giggle. "I guess I'm also a bit unusual," Luminescent agreed, "by the way, What's your name?" The skywing looked at Luminescent. "I'll tell you my name if you tell me yours first."
"Okay. My name is Luminescent. Whats your name?"
"My name is Brixa, Luminescent, nice to meet you."
-***-
Luminescent liked Brixa, but Brixa told Luminescent that she needed to return to the Skywing kingdom, because she finished the chore she was assigned. Luminescent had decided to explore Possibility, which was the town's name. She would've eaten a fried squid, however she had to pay for it. A skywing was selling beautiful necklaces, though Luminescent thought Abalone's necklaces were cooler, she asked if she could have one and the skywing responded with, "Do ya have enough ta pay fer one?" By then, Luminescent was done with this, "pay" thing, and ready to begin getting ready to return to the rainwing and nightwing kingdom.
== Chapter 29: Stolen ==
Luminescent had received more supplies from dragons who didn't like this whole "pay" thing either. "Excuse me!" Luminescent called into a home. Later two skywings had answered the door. "Look at you!" one of the skywings sighed. "What do you need?" The other asked. "Um..." Luminescent began. "Well, I'm almost ready to head back to my rain forest. I only need a map of Pyrrhia!" The closer skywing looked at Luminescent in a disgusted sort of way. "Alright." He said. "Please... come inside." Luminescent walked into the house and noticed that four Skywings, all wearing black robes, lived in the house. The dragon who didn't let Luminescent in was reading "The Nightwing's Guide to the Dragons of Pyrrhia (Updated by Starflight of the Nightwings)" Luminescent followed the skywing who let her in. They entered a room with a map of pyrrhia. The skywing grabbed the map and handed it to Luminescent. "Thank you!" Luminescent cheered, turning around. She had noticed the exit way had been blocked by the other three skywings. "Um... Excuse me?" Luminescent asked. The dragon who let Luminescent in tapped her on the shoulder. "I'm not done with you yet," He began, "we just want to know one thing, what breed of dragon are you?" Ha asked. "I-I-I'm a rainwing." Luminescent stuttered. "Your neck is too short to be a normal rainwing." One of the three skywing who was blocking the door said. "Your horns and spikes are too long to be a normal rainwing." Another skywing said. "And your wings look like a nightwing's wings." The last skywing finished. The skywing who let Luminescent is walked in front of her. "I only need to ask you to do one more thing." he said. "All I want you to do is change the colors of your scales until your completely invisible. "Okay!" Luminescent said, forgetting that she couldn't shift her scales into complete invisibility. When the Amorous side of Luminescent thought she'd became invisible, she asked, "Okay! Can I please go!?" the skywings were frowning. "Disgusting!" One roared. "Why do different species still breed?" Another yelled. "She is a hybrid." The third one roared. Finally, the skywing who gave Luminescent the map walked up to Luminescent. "Diorite is going to enjoy you!" He said. "KNOCK HER OUT!" He ordered. All the skywings surrounded Luminescent. "WAIT I'M NOT A HYBRID!" Luminescent shrieked. One of the skywings grabbed a log. "Your death will be a nice contribute to the purifying of Pyhrria!" The skywings said together, as they smashed the log against Luminescent's head.
== Chapter 30: Diorite ==
Luminescent woke up, yet again in a bag. She grunted, feeling as if every bone in her body had been broken. However, Luminescent knew that wasn't true. She poked at the bag. It was more sturdy than the silk bag that Deathbringer had put her in. She began to toss and turn again, however, before she could tear a hole in the bag, someone had opened it. "In." a voice said. Without delaying (mostly because of fear) Luminescent entered the room in front of her. In the room was a blue dragon and a grey dragon. Luminescent turned around to see the skywing who gave her the map before kidnapping her. "WHERE AM I?" Luminescent shouted. An ominous echo of her voice bounced off the cave walls. The skywing ignored her, locking the door to the room. Well, this is clearly a prison. Luminescent thought, angrily in her head. She turned around too have a look at the dragons in the cave. "Before they take me," the grey dragon sighed, "I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Dim." The blue dragonet looked up. "Umm..." She began, "M-M-My name is Aloina." Luminescent looked outside of her cell. "My name is Luminescent." Luminescent whispered. "Where am I?" Dim sighed. "Honestly, I have no idea. All I know is that I was cornered one day under a waterfall, and was asked to do things like walk on ice, kill an orca, and breathe frost breath. That last one I couldn't do..." Luminescent was startled. "They asked me to do three things, but when I couldn't camouflage entirely, They began calling me a hybrid, even though I'm not a hybrid!" Aloina gave Luminescent an awkward look. "Everyone here is a hybrid... except for those skywing jerks!"
== Chapter 31: Execution ==
"Everyone here is a hybrid!" Luminescent gasped. "But I'm not! I swear!" Dim gave her a dreadful look. "Really?" he asked, "Because I'm very sure your a rainwing hybrid of some sort." Luminescent rolled her eyes. "You'll never believe me, but an animus dragon named--" The necklace began to burn, worse than any moment before. "OW!" Luminescent cried. "Never mind, his name isn't important. He enchanted these necklaces to fuse the two dragons wearing them." She explained. "Even if I did believe you, I wouldn't be alive long enough to know for sure." Dim sighed. "What?" Luminescent asked. Dim and Aloina answered with pointing their talons behind Luminescent. She turned to see a dragon wearing a metal mask and a black cloak. "Dim!" He said, his voice deep and beaming with hate. "Your time has come. Pyrrhia shall be more perfect with your death." Dim looked down. Two Skywings guarding the dragon who called for Dim opened the cell. The guards then wrapped something around Luminescent and c necks. the third dragon simply grabbed Dim by the neck and dragged Dim with him. The guards forced Luminescent and Aloina to go in the opposite direction. "Where are you taking him!" Luminescent demanded. "If you want to know, you will go next." One of the guards responded. They threw Luminescent into a room full of many dragon species, none of which looked like just one breed of dragon. They're all hybrids! Luminescent remembered. Luminescent looked up to see a sheet of thick glass separating the dragons from the next room. Inside the other room was a purple dragon, a greenish dragon, and Dim. The masked dragon stood on a podium. "Now that everyone is here," He began. I need to know our new hybrid's names. You! Speak up now!" He pointed at a small blonde dragon. She squeaked from fear. "Morgan!" She squeaked. The masked dragon looked at Luminescent. "What is your name?" Luminescent glared at the masked dragon. "I'll tell you my name if you tell me yours!" she snarled. The masked dragon glared back. "Diorite." He said. "Your next." Luminescent didn't understand what that meant but from the dragons looking ruefully at her, she could only guess. "My name is Luminescent." Luminescent growled. "Pathetic. You!" Diorite growled, now pointing at a blood red dragon. "Bloody Mary!" the dragon joked. "Very funny. Your also next." Diorite yawned. "Now that I know who's who, Let's see if Luminescent and Bloody Mary can figure out what, 'your next' means." Diorite gestures at four guards, and they each pulled a lever. Luminescent could hear hissing, and many of the dragons in the room shrieked and pointed at the tank. A small box had opened in the room Dim was in, and dragonbite vipers began to slither out of it. Luminescent put her talon on her mouth to cover up her shriek. Dim and the other dragon's wings were bounded together, making it impossible to fly. One by one, the dragon hybrids in the tank began to fall. Luminescent looked at "Bloody Mary" and knew what, "Your next." meant. Diorite was going to kill Luminescent and "Bloody Mary" with dragonbite vipers.
== Chapter 32: Glass ==
"Now that the world has been purified by the deaths of three more dragons, Let's put in our second batch." Diorite laughed, clearly enjoying this slaughter. "Marionette, Klink, and 'Your worst nightmare', step into the room." Luminescent couldn't look up, not now. The dragonbite vipers has been gathered back into the box, and were removed from the room. Luminescent looked and saw Diorite gesture at the guards again. What now? she thought, looking at the cage. The three dragons were green, gold, and vomit brown colored. Luminescent saw that these dragon's wings were unbound, giving them the ability to fly. Then, green spheres began to fall from the top of the tank. What are those? Luminescent wondered. More of the red colored dragons in the room were shrieking. Just then, a small flame popped up from the center of the room. More dragons seemed to realize what was happening and began to scream. Luminescent saw two of the dragons in the tank airborne, panicking. The third had no clue what was happening, like Luminescent. Luminescent saw one of the balls rolling towards the fire. "NO!" Cried the Gold dragon in the tank. "STOP IT!" The ball had rolled into the fire, then it exploded. Many dragons screamed as a chain reaction busted in the tank one-by-one the balls exploded. Luminescent was horrified when the smoke cleared out of the tank. Spikes were jammed in the glass and the dragons in the tank looked like they'd just been butchered. "Damn." Diorite said. "Looks like that's all for today. Tomorrow, however, we will see Penguin, Swerve, and Opal in the tank for our first wave, and Aloina, 'Bloody Mary', and Luminescent as our second wave!" The skywings cheered. Oh three moons! Luminescent thought, I only have one more day to live!
== Chapter 33: Wave two ==
The next day left Luminescent with a hole in her stomach. She could guess Aloina felt the same way. They had both skipped out on their last meal. Finally, they were brought to the execution chamber where Penguin, Swerve, and Opal were waiting. "I guess rest in peace?" Opal sighed. Luminescent looked down. "Yeah..." everyone else sighed. Some guards pushed Opal, Penguin, and Swerve in the tank. Luminescent couldn't see what was going on, Luckily. Two minutes later, the Guards walked into the room, shutting the door before Luminescent could see. Later the Guards came back out, dragging the dead bodies behind them. Aloina whispered to Luminescent, "Diorite must have poisoned them. The Cows in the room didn't look all too lively." Luminescent didn't like that at all. "Why would they even eat the cows then?" She asked. "I've seen it before. the walls slowly close. So it's either eat or be squished." Aloina sighed. Diorite's voice suddenly boomed into the room. "Luminescent, 'Bloody Mary', and Aloina, enter the room." Luminescent turned as if to not enter the room, but there were guards blocking the exit. So she had two choices. die horrifically or die to another dragon. Out of the two, Luminescent decided to die horrifically, with Aloina (mostly because she didn't want Aloina die with a total stranger) Luminescent entered the room, and the door closed. Her wings were unbound, so whatever was about to happen was going to kill her, even if midair. Two guards pulled down five levers. and she heard rock scraping rock above her. A wave of heat suddenly also entered the room, as a orange liquid flowed into the room. "LAVA!?" Bloody Mary shrieked. "We can last longer if we fly!" Aloina told Luminescent and Bloody Mary. "No!" Bloody Mary shouted. "I'm going to die anyways! So may as well die faster!" Luminescent eyes widened. "Wait! NO!" She shrieked as Bloody Mary jumped into the lava dripping down from the back of the tank, face first. Aloina buried her head into Luminescent's chest. "Quick! Fly!" Luminescent ordered. The both flew to the highest they could. The Lava rose slowly. Later, Aloina was layed on Luminescent's back, not having the strength to fly anymore. Luminescent could very easily guess what Diorite was thinking thanks to his expression, Lava takes too long to kill. This is beginning to get boring. Then Luminescent began to notice a yellow light emerging from her chest.
== Chapter 34: Melting ==
Luminescent and Aloina looked down, stunned. This light... Luminescent began to think, There's no doubt about it! This is the same light from my dream! "What is happening!?" Diorite's voice yelled from outside. Soon, just like her dream, a bubble emerged from Luminescent's chest. "What is that?" Aloina asked. Just then the bubble surrounded both Luminescent and Aloina. Instantly, the air cooled down. "Woah!" Aloina gasped, "Hey! Look Luminescent! The lava's flowing around the bubble!" Luminescent looked down and noticed the lava really was filling up around the bubble! Diorite, however, also noticed this. "KILL THEM!" He shouted. "I WANT THOSE HIDEOUS ANIMALS OFF THE FACE OF PYRRHIA! NO MATTER WHA--" Suddenly, an explosion interrupted Diorite. More skywings (not dressed in ominous black cloaks) stormed into the room. "EVERYONE! PUT YOUR TALONS ON THE GROUND!" A new voice yelled. Luminescent looked at the dragon who entered the room. Is that queen Ruby? Luminescent asked herself. "In the name of Queen Ruby, You have all acted horrible crimes by killing off hybrid dragons for over two decades without anyone knowing!" A familiar voice instructed. Brixa? Luminescent looked over to where she heard the voice, and sure enough, Brixa was there. "Brixa!" Luminescent called. Brixa looked up. Luminescent!? Brixa's thought's wondered in Luminescent's head. "Lumi- LUMINESCENT!" Brixa shrieked, "YOUR IN LAVA!" Luminescent looked at Aloina. "Is she here to help?" Aloina asked. "Yes!" Luminescent answered. "Pull down those levers over there! I think the lava will drain!" Luminescent instructed. Brixa, Ruby, and two other skywings pulled all of the levers down. Ten or so minutes later, Luminescent left the execution room. "Are you okay? How did you do that?" Brixa asked immediately. "I don't know!" Aloina answered. "Animus magic!" Ruby's voice answered. "It's been three and a half years since I've seen magic that strong. May I see your necklace?" Luminescent looked stunned. "Umm... No." Luminescent answered firmly. "Let me rephrase. I'm going to see your necklace to make sure someone hasn't enchanted it in any bad ways." Ruby responded, grabbing Luminescent's necklace. It began to burn. "OW! Stop!" Luminescent yelled. Ruby clearly felt it burning, too. She began to remove the necklace faster. It began to feel worse. "OW!" Luminescent roared. Ruby didn't. "Almost there!" Ruby explained. Then she removed the necklace. Luminescent felt as if the bubble hadn't emerged from her chest in the lava. "OW!" Luminescent screamed. She felt like what was happening in her dream was happening, except it wasn't painless. Luminescent felt like she was melting. The necklace split into two in Ruby's talon, as Luminescent's vision split into two. Finally, the pain ended. "I don't want to do that again..." Amorous sighed. She clasped her talons over her mouth. "Ack! Give me back that necklace!" Blackheart begged. "Three moons," Brixa gasped. "Luminescent, Your two dragonets!?" Ruby dropped the necklace. "Your- Your- Your faces!" Ruby gasped. "Luminescent... Your two dragons?" Aloina gasped. "YOUR THE COOLEST DRAGON EVER!" Aloina cheered. Amorous couldn't hide her giggle. Soon, Blackheart began to laugh too. One by one, dragons began to fill the room to see what was happening too. They also began to laugh. Soon, everyone in the room was laughing, but no one saw Diorite flee through the hole left by the explosion.
== Chapter 35: Invitation ==
Ruby had invited Amorous and Blackheart to her castle, which was apparently right above the hybrid prisons. Ruby didn't like keeping prisoners, so she informed Amorous and Blackheart that they'd be taken to Thorn's prison. "Oh..." Amorous sighed. "We were supposed to go to her prisons too." Blackheart explained to Queen Ruby. "Since we really didn't want to go to prison... and since Queen Glory didn't entirely know our story, we fled from the bag we were being transferred in." Queen Ruby glanced at Blackheart. "I could explain to her what happened she'd likely forgive you two." Ruby suggested. "I, well, I think we should tell Queen Glory ourselves." Amorous whispered. "I think things will turn out better that way." Blackheart nudged Amorous. "Alright. If you change your minds, let me know. Anyhow, I wanted to ask you who enchanted your necklaces." Ruby explained. "Oh!" Amorous sighed, relieved. "A seawing named, Abalone, who lives on an island south of the rain forest did." Ruby's eyes widened. "Was he... wearing anything?" Ruby asked. "I mean, except for a pouch, no." Blackheart answered, then he began to think. "He also had a lot of necklaces." Ruby stood up. "Did he add any enchantments onto your necklace you didn't want?" Blackheart looked wryly at Ruby. "Yes, why?" Amorous answered. Ruby gestured at two dragons, they nodded and left the room. "I think that maybe that seawing... never mind. I'm not sure if I should tell you. It's rather... personal." Ruby stated. "Please... excuse me." Ruby left the room. Blackheart walked over to the door in which Ruby exited. He couldn't hear Ruby that well, but he heard. "It's o___, Cliff. __mm_ has probably just found C__me____, that r__n__n_ who could ___p___i__ using animus magic." there was a moment of silence, but another voice finally replied. "_h__l___? You talking about that dragon __ri_ was with?"
"Yes, him."
"Then lets __t him!" Blackheart thought he could then hear the voice with Ruby begin to sing. "Are you done eavesdropping?" Amorous asked. "Yea," Blackheart began, "I guess Ruby's been searching for Abalone." Amorous nearly choked. "Why?" She asked, concerned. "I don't know! All I heard was 'C__me____, that r__n__n_ who could ___p___i__ using animus magic' I wonder what she actually said." Blackheart sighed. Amorous glanced at the door. "I think Ruby's coming back!" Amorous warned. Blackheart ran back to his seat. Like Amorous said, Ruby had re-entered the room. "Sorry about that," Ruby began, "I'm assuming that you two want to be Luminescent again, right? "Yes!" Amorous and Luminescent cheered. "You'll find your necklaces in the weaponry. Brixa! could you escort these two to the weaponry." Soon Brixa, who was positioned outside poked her head into the room and said, "Indeed!"
== Chapter 36: Return ==
"So some nightwings still have powers?" Brixa asked. "Yes." Blackheart answered. "Weatherreader and me are two examples of nightwings with powers still." Amorous nodded, confirming Blackheart's answer for Brixa. "Okay... Here we are!" Brixa said. She opened the door, and Blackheart and Amorous walked into the room. They each grabbed the necklace they had before. Ready? Amorous thought. "Ready!" Blackheart answered, grinning at Brixa. They both threw on the necklaces. Only moments later, they opened both of their eyes. "Honestly," Brixa began, "I'm never going to get used to seeing two bodies morph into one majestic, bigger body." Luminescent grinned. Luminescent left the weaponry, closing the door on the way out. They turned and found Ruby staring at them. "If you two want, you can resume your trip back to the rain forest, or you could stay here longer." Ruby said. Luminescent considered this. "I think..." she began. "I think I'll stay one more day."
== Chapter 37: News ==
Luminescent was apparently forced to share a room with Aloina because she wouldn't stop annoying her guard of how bad she wanted to be with Luminescent. "So your two dragons!" Aloina asked Luminescent nodded. "That's too cool! Aloina squealed. "Hey! Do you think I could fuse with one of you two someday?" Luminescent looked at Aloina. "I guess you could." Luminescent answered. "Could I tonight!?" Aloina asked. Luminescent laughed. "Not tonight!" She replied. "But-" Aloina pouted. "Fine." Luminescent laughed again. "So, tomorrow I'm resuming going back to the rain forest. Maybe-" Luminescent began, before she was interrupted. "Maybe we could head back to the seawing kingdom!" Aloina finished for Luminescent, "YES! OF COURSE! That's where my mom and auntie lives, even though auntie's fat and mean." Luminescent covered her laugh. "That's not a very nice thing to say." Luminescent warned. "Well, the mean part is true!" Aloina said, but she took it back when she saw Luminescent's disapproving face. "Sorry." Aloina whispered. "Maybe we should get to sleep." Luminescent suggested. "Yeah." Aloina agreed.
-***-
Luminescent woke up to Aloina bouncing on her chest. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Aloina cheered. "You know, I'm glad I'm big, otherwise I might be hurting a bit." Luminescent joked. "Nah!" Aloina denied. "The skywings have made us breakfast!" Luminescent liked this. "Where am I to eat?" Luminescent asked her guard. "Ruby has asked to eat with you, she has something to... discuss" The guard reported. "COOL! Can I come?" Aloina asked. "You already ate your breakfast." The guard answered. "Aw man! I knew I should've waited." Aloina pouted. Luminescent was escorted to where Ruby was waiting, patiently. "Sorry if I'm late!" Luminescent apologized. "No worries!" Ruby responded. "I'm assuming you want to know what I need to discuss with you." Luminescent grabbed some chicken and some rhubarb to eat. "Yes!" she answered. "What do you need to discuss."
"I've received some news from Thorn's stronghold." Luminescent gulped. "What would that news be?" She asked wryly. Ruby grabbed a scroll. "Read this." Ruby answered.
The jury has decided yesterday evening that
the punishment for Blackvoid and Lifelight for
disturbing the peace shall be nothing. The
jury has decided this because witnesses
describe the scene as "Lifelight and Blackvoid
did indeed disturb the peace by threatening
the other's child's life, but they released the
children, targeting each other. The children
had jumped in the way of the other's attack,
to save their parent." Their punishment originally
would of had been isolation from the other tribe, if
the children hadn't gone missing. Devastated, they
each begged for mercy. "It is bad enough to isolate
a dragon from another tribe, but it is much worse to
lose your own children, I should know" -Q. Thorn 
"They think we're missing?" Luminescent cried. "Guppy... Agua... Monsoon..." Ruby wrapped her wing around Luminescent. "Hey, at least they don't think your dead." Ruby tried. Luminescent glanced over at Queen Ruby, and gave her a small grin. "I suppose that's true." Luminescent sighed. "When your ready to leave, just let me know." Ruby told Luminescent. "I'll understand." Luminescent looked at Ruby. "I feel like your trying to avoid something, telling me I can leave that rashly." The Blackheart side of Luminescent pointed out. "I'm not," Ruby began, "You just have the face of someone who misses home." Luminescent stared at her reflection on the goblet. I really do, huh? Luminescent stood up. "I'm ready to leave." Luminescent said. "Alright." Ruby replied. "Okee! I'm ready to go too!" Aloina's voice cheered from outside. "Ha ha! Dragonets!" Luminescent giggled. "I guess we're off!" Luminescent said to Ruby. She nodded. "Fly safe," Ruby asked, "and don't get captured, again." Luminescent giggled. "I won't!" Luminescent replied. At least we'll try not to. Aloina's voice echoed in Luminescent's head
== Chapter 38: Flight ==
Luminescent and Aloina flew. Because it was daytime, they had flown a farther distance than Luminescent expected. "Wow!" Luminescent gasped. "Are we really at the ocean before nightfall?" Aloina was splashing around in the water. "Yup!" Aloina cheered. "My mother had decided to keep me with her, since I'd stand out too much in the rain forest." So that's what she is, a rainwing / seawing hybrid! Luminescent realized. "Hey," Aloina began, "Do you know my Dad?" Aloina asked. Luminescent didn't think she'd know. "His name is Myst." Aloina said. "I'm afraid not." Aloina answered. Aloina didn't seemed bothered by this. "Well, you'll meet him soon. They meet riiiight over there every evening." Aloina explained, pointing at a fire pit. "Ah." Luminescent sighed. If only her parents let Blackheart and Amorous love each other like normal parents, then no Black Accident would've happened at all. Luminescent noticed Aloina pointing at the water. Luminescent walked over to see what she was pointing at. Luminescent saw the pod of dolphins, from the rain forest, dancing in the water. She felt butterflies in her stomach, making her necklace begin to burn. "Aren't they pretty?" Aloina asked. "That pod of dolphins seem to know thing no one else does. Almost as if they're enchanted." Luminescent looked at Aloina. "As if they're enchanted?" Luminescent repeated. I understand now! Abalone must of enchanted those dolphins to know when something was happening, that's why they forced me away from the beach! They were trying to save us from the black accident! So why are they here? Just then, Luminescent noticed four figures approaching the water surface
== Chapter 39: Figures (Aloina's perspective) ==
Aloina loved Luminescent, as much as her parents, in fact. "Who are those dragons?" Luminescent asked Aloina. She squinted, looking where Luminescent was pointing. "Oh, no." Aloina sighed. She recognized two of the four figures. "Those two behind the two in front is my aunt and her new fiance." Aloina sighed. She absolutely hated her aunt and her uncle(s). Her aunt had remarried three times already. "What's her name?" Luminescent asked. "I don't know her real name!" Aloina grunted. "She keeps having me call her different nicknames, and if I say the wrong nickname, she punishes me for it." Aloina answered. She saw the Look in Luminescent's eyes, both her green eye and her red eye. The look that said, "I'm beginning to understand why you called your aunt mean." Aloina watched with hate as her aunt "Drizzle" (assuming that was her nickname for the day) stumble onto the beach. The two seawings Aloina didn't recognize ran towards Aloina. "Your alive!" One of them cheered. "Whatever." The other one said. "Ever since you went missing, your family!" The first one said. The second one yawned. "GULL! YOU COULD AT LEAST PRETEND TO CARE!" The first one yelled at the second. "Oh!" Aloina realized. "Saltwater! Gull! I remember meeting you once with mommy! You three were friends when you were young, right?" Saltwater nodded vigorously as Gull shrugged. "Outta the way!" A scrappy voice said. "I just need to see my... erm... who are you again?" Aloina's aunt asked. "Aloina." She answered bitterly. Aunt "Drizzle" still looked confused. "Your nephew." Aloina clarified. She glanced over to Luminescent. Luminescent had some vivid red on the parts of her body that could change color. "Right." Aunt "Drizzle" said. "Come say hi to our... um... newfew." Aunt "Drizzle" said to her fiance. "Yes your highness!" Said the drunk voice of Slip. "Your highness!?" Aloina gasped, "You really want to be called 'Your Highness' now!" Aloina yelled. "I know." Saltwater sighed, "She's wanted everyone to call her 'Your Highness' two days after you disappeared." Saltwater explained. Aloina glared at Aunt "Drizzle" with hate. "What?" Aunt "Drizzle" asked. "I hate you." Aloina spat at her Aunt. Gull didn't even try to cover his laugh. "You can't hate me, I'm your... um... Aunt, so you need to do what I say." Aunt "Drizzle" explained. "Nope. I'll never listen to you. I'll only listen to my parents. And last time I checked, I'm not your child." An awkward silence fell over the beach, except for Slip's maniacal laughing. "Um, Aloina," Saltwater began. "both of your parents were... murdered yesterday."
== Chapter 40: Who? ==
Luminescent was shocked. Aloina's parents were murdered! She repeated in her head. Aloina's Aunt's new fiance began to laugh louder. The Blackheart side of her began to look into the four dragon's minds to find any clues. Saltwater was thinking, I'm so sorry, Aloina. I promised your parents to protect you. How can I do that when I couldn't even protect them... Luminescent looked at the fiance. Woopie! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's too funny! WOOPIE! Luminescent scrunched her snout and looked at Aloina's aunt. She wasn't thinking of anything besides making out with Slip, which was disturbing. Finally, Luminescent stared at Gull. What are you looking at, rainwing. You think I killed them, don't you. Well rainwings can't read minds, even if they look slightly like a nightwing, which, hello, THEY CAN'T EITHER! Then, something disturbing popped into Gulls head. Focus on the task at hand. A voice Luminescent had only heard once called into Gulls head. NO! Luminescent realized. It was the voice of the elderly ghost.
== Chapter 41: Gull ==
Luminescent backed away from where she was standing. Then Aloina's aunt called, loudly, "Last time I checked, your parents died, meaning I'm your new mother, and I'll make sure that you will call me, Your Highness." Aloina covered her ears. "Your a royal pain!" Aloina shouted. "I'm sorry," Saltwater began, "But staying with your aunt is the only way you'll be safe." Aloina shook her head. "No, no, no, no, no!" She repeated. "You'll be perfectly safe, WHOOPIE!" The fiance said, drunken. "FINE!" Aloina yelled, jumping into the ocean. Poor Aloina. Luminescent thought. If only she had a different aunt... Luminescent turned to Saltwater. "Could I come with Aloina?" Luminescent asked. "No." He answered. "Her mother lived in the deep palace. Unfortunately, now Aloina's aunt took the place over." Luminescent looked down. "Oh." Luminescent sighed. "We should get going to my home... Uh... Newflew?" Aloina resurfaced. "IT'S NEPHEW!" She yelled. "Yeah, yeah." Aloina's aunt yawned. Once Aloina was under the water, her aunt asked, "What's a nephew?" Gull laughed again, sneaking the word, stupid, between laughs. Saltwater stamped his talon, glaring at Gull. The remaining seawings leaped into the water, except for Slip who fell into the water. Luminescent laid on the beach, feeling empty. She stared into the what looked like an endless ocean. Luminescent rolled over, staring at her last obstacle between her and the rain forest. Jade Mountain. She began to stand up, when talons wrapped around her mouth and eyes.
== Chapter 42: Cavern ==
The dragon kidnapping Luminescent brought her into a cavern, too dark for even Luminescent to see anything. The dragon let go of Luminescent. "WHO ARE YOU!" Luminescent yelled. "It's only me." Gull's vengeful voice echoed in the cave. "WHY ARE YOU KIDNAPPING ME!" Luminescent yelled. "Because." He sighed, "They told me they needed you, no matter what. Apparently after you, freed her from their control." Luminescent nearly tripped on nothing. "THE GHOSTS!?" Luminescent asked. "You cannot escape Neritic's dead relatives once your targeted." Then gull shoved Luminescent into a hole. Luminescent was so surprised, she wasn't able to open her wings, luckily, the floor was entirely water. Luminescent resurfaced. Now, Gulls lights were lit. "Follow me." Gull instructed, diving into the water. Luminescent followed. Gull began to flash his lights in a certain pattern, underwater. Later, they resurfaced in another cave. "Well, you can hold your breath for twenty minutes." Gull said. "How about an hour?" Gull asked. "An hour!?" Luminescent panted. "I was hardly able to survive that!" Gull rolled his eyes. "Fine. It's not my fault if you die. This next room over is where they wanted me to leave you. They said that they'll be there in three days to kill you themselves."
== Chapter 43: Caves ==
Gull had Put a bag over Luminescent's head so she couldn't see where she was going, but he let Luminescent hold on to his tail so she wouldn't get lost and possibly drown. This swim was now definitely over twenty minutes long. I need to breathe! Luminescent shouted in her head, ten more minutes later. She grabbed Gulls tail tighter. I don't want to drown! Please tell me that there's going to be an air pocket soon! Luminescent was beginning to flinch. Please! I can't brea-eathe... Luminescent's eyes were closing, and the necklace began to burn. somebody... please... help... me...
-***-
Luminescent eyes widened, suddenly, as she began coughing water out of her chest. "I see your still alive." A voice from beside Luminescent coughed. "Thankfully," Gull's voice said from atop Luminescent. Luminescent coughed out some more water. "Three more minutes and she'd be dead for sure!" shouted the voice from beside Luminescent. "I know..." Gull sighed. "Littoral and Benthic would have our necks for sure! You should've taken the short route!" Luminescent sat up, finally done coughing water out of her lungs. Her vision came back slowly. "I don't honestly care, Blobfish."
"Well you should! You don't want what's happened to me or Neritic, do you?"
"You were the one who got Littoral and Benthic mad at us, remember?"
Luminescent's jumped, finally realizing what she just heard. "You know the ghosts names!?" She shouted. "Shh!" the blurry green figure shushed. "We can be heard here. So if you even attract so much as one dragon, I don't care who, I'll kill that dragon, then we'll torture you." Luminescent grunted. "And how's that going to scare me?" she challenged. The green blur stopped pacing. "Well... um..." The blur stuttered. "Let me handle this," Gull's voice began. "We'll going to keep you here until Littoral and Benthic arrive. When they arrive they'll... you'll find out. After that happens, they'll kill you." Luminescent already knew this. "I don't know," Luminescent began, pointing at her necklace. "I'm kind of... immortal." Luminescent grinned at Gull and "Blobfish" who were now coming to view. "Not from everything." Blobfish said, grabbing a knife. "Blobfish, don't!" Gull demanded. Ignoring Gull, Blobfish grabbed Luminescent's arm. "Hey!" Luminescent roared. Blobfish cuffed her talon over Luminescent's mouth, then cut her arm. Blobfish didn't cut deep enough to make Luminescent breathe. Blobfish then held her wing over Luminescent. Gull quickly shifted his gaze to somewhere else. "What was that supposed to do?" Luminescent asked, but then her wing turned black. "Wha--" Luminescent began, but stopped as soon as Blobfish's scales began to fall off her wing. "Yes, yes, show your fright." Blobfish taunted. "NO!" Gull shouted, suddenly. "It's her necklace, urchins-for-brains!" Blobfish looked at Gull, unimpressed. "It must be animus enchanted, Most likely by him. I know how he carves necklaces. So what we need to do is get rid of the enchantment." Blobfish released Luminescent's arm. "Ah, Abalone, that pathetic animus who uses animus magic to protect other dragons. What a fool. Get it." Gull nodded and walked into another cave. "Luckily his own magic can be used against him!" Blobfish whispered to Luminescent. "What?" Luminescent asked, then saw Gull exiting the cave with a shackle.
== Chapter 44: Shackle ==
A shackle? Luminescent wondered to herself. Why would gull bring a shackle? Oh, duh, it must be enchanted by Abalone, but for what. Gull began to unlock the shackle. Very clever... Abalone's voice suddenly said in Luminescent's head, making her jump. "Abalone!?" Luminescent asked, out loud. "Yes, Abalone's own magic can be used against him." Gull answered, thinking Luminescent was asking if Abalone's magic could backfire. Let's keep this conversation in your head, okay? Abalone suggested. Right. Luminescent answered. Luminescent began to check herself for a pearl bracelet on her. Ahem. It's on your lower left horn. Abalone informed her. I had the dolphins attach it to you when you passed out in the caves. There are five exits to that maze of caves. Two of which are under water. Abalone explained. So the dolphins came in through one of the underwater exits, right. The silence that followed clearly meant, yes. "Finally. Why were these ruffians even made in the first place." Gull growled, finally opening the lock to the shackle. "Put it on her. Every second i look at her disgusts me." Blobfish ordered. Do not let Gull put the Forever shackle on you. Your necklaces will be destroyed instantly. Abalone instructed. Luminescent stepped back. "Wait!" Luminescent said. "If you put the necklace on me... then... I'll die!" Gull rolled his eyes. "That's clearly a trick." He said, unimpressed. Blobfish grabbed Gull by his tail. "And what if it isn't?" She asked. Gull grunted. "Then it's a good thing we'll be arriving sooner than expected." The elderly ghost's voice boomed from nowhere. Luminescent's heart skipped a beat. Luminescent, stay calm! Abalone called. "Their, their, their," Luminescent stuttered. "Yes, that's right." The younger ghost's voice boomed. "Benthic and I are finally here to get our revenge!" Two transparent figures began to rise from the floor. LUMINESCENT YOU NEED TO STAY CALM! HELP IS COMING! Abalone yelled, but Luminescent could hardly even hear Abalone yell. She was too scared. "However... Your use to us has ran out, Tubbataha." Blobfish's eyes widened. "But- but- but." Blobfish stuttered, then her scales turned black, and began to fall off her entire body. Benthic glided over to the shriveled pile of flesh, grabbed Blobfish's knife, and stabbed the body. Blobfish exploded. Gull gaped, as the only thing left was a mirror, covered in blood.
== Chapter 45: Curse ==
Luminescent stared at the mirror. "NO! NO! NO!" She shouted. Littoral glided over to the mirror and grabbed it "You remember this, don't you." Littoral spat. "You may of had destroyed the dream version of the mirror, but this is reality!" Luminescent retreated into the corner of the room. Luminescent... I enchanted that mirror. Abalone confessed. "WHAT!?" Luminescent yelled, her necklace getting warm. It's true, but I've added extra enchantments, just in case. I know what they're going to do before they can do it. Luminescent stood up. "What do I do?" Luminescent asked, out loud. KEEP THIS IN YOUR HEAD BEFORE THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING! Abalone yelled. The mirror's magic will only take effect when you gaze at the back of it. Luminescent began to think about her dreams. The Blackheart side of her realized in all of his dreams with Neritic, he had seen the back of the mirror, before Littoral showed him/them the mirror. Turn around. Abalone's voice instructed. She followed along and quickly turned around. Benthic is going to hold you still. Abalone foretold. Close your eyes in five seconds. Luminescent counted in her head. One... Two... Three... Benthic glided through the wall in front of Luminescent "Figured out the mirror's trick have you?" He boomed. "Yes. Luminescent responded. Five! Luminescent shut her eyes, and she couldn't open them, right after. Good job. Littoral is going to try to hold the mirror in front of you, but when she sees your eyes shut-- "Why you... BENTHIC RELEASE HER!" Littoral roared. Yeah, that. Tackle into Gull once your free. Abalone instructed. Luminescent could then open her eyes again, and ran straight towards Gull. Gull didn't realize Luminescent was running at him until it was too late. "Why you!" Gull snarled. Take the shackle. Abalone said. Luminescent grabbed the shackle. "NO!" Gull shouted. I think I see what's happening... Your trying to keep me from looking at the back of the mirror, keep my necklace from shattering, and attracting attention. Luminescent predicted, right as Saltwater leaped into the room.
== Chapter 46: Saltwater ==
"WHAT IS GOI--" Saltwater yelled, right before noticing the ghosts of Benthic and Littoral. "B-B-B-Benthic? Littoral?" The ghosts rolled their eyes. "Get out of here before we kill you too." Benthic threatened. Saltwater then turned his gaze over to Luminescent. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?" A new voice boomed, as a seawing, covered in pearls leaped into the room, she had a harness like object tied onto her, and a young seawing hopped into the room, attached to the other end of the harness. Her gaze shifted to the ghosts, they retreated as if to simply exit the room. "Not on my watch!" Luminescent yelled, in Abalone's voice. Then, the ghosts stopped moving. "NO!" Benthic yelled. More seawings had began to pour into the cave. The pearled seawing's gaze shifted over to Luminescent. Luminescent stood up. "Your not hurting anyone anymore!" Abalone yelled form Luminescent's mouth. A golden bubble emerged from her chest, then surrounded Benthic and Littoral. The mirror in Littoral's talon shattered (just like in Luminescent's dream) "YOU CANNOT DO THIS!" Littoral shouted, as the bubble began to sink into the earth. "Just like how I couldn't when you two made me dream? Yeah right." Abalone's voice snarled. They began to hit the bubble, with uncontrollable rage. "I guess you will have to stop eating dreams." Abalone explained. Then, Luminescent felt like she could talk again. "Are you okay?" Saltwater asked, running over to Gull. "Why do you care about me? Even after kidnapping Aloina's rescuer?" Saltwater wrapped his wing around his brother. "Because we're brothers! Why wouldn't I care?" Gull held it back, but he finally began to cry. Saltwater guided him to where he entered the cave. The rest of their conversation was unable to be heard. Luminescent stood up. "What just happened?" Luminescent asked. The pearled seating walked, slowly, over to Luminescent. "How do you know Abalone!?" She asked. "Umm... He enchanted my necklaces for me." Luminescent answered. "Who are you?" Luminescent asked. The dragon put her wing over Luminescent. "I am Queen Coral. I knew Abalone as a caretaker, not too long ago, until I put him in, well, in prison," Coral answered. Luminescent's heart fell at the word, prison. "However, I made a mistake... He and my daughter were right about Blister using me. Please tell him that I'm sorry." The dragonet brushed her head against Coral. "Mommy, why are you sad?" She asked. "I just met a dragon who knows someone..." Coral half-answered. "Oh!" Coral realised, returning to Luminescent. "When he disappeared, he forgot this." Coral explained, handing an earring (that kind of looked like a grape) to Luminescent. "He enchanted it for him to speak underwater. He gave another one to..." Coral stopped talking. She wrapped a wing around her child, and Luminescent thought she may of had been crying. "Sorry, but I-I need to go." Coral cried, leaving the room. Luminescent stared at the earring. She put it on, and felt that every breath of air was more pure. She turned towards the crowd of dragons, realizing something. "Does anyone know where Aloina lives!?" She asked.
== Chapter 47: Abuse ==
Luminescent got a response from a dragon towards the left. "Her house was in a coral reef just to the south of the summer palace, but if you're trying to get there, you'll drown for sure!" Luminescent looked at the cave where Queen Coral had entered and exited from. "I won't give up!" Luminescent told herself. She took a step into the water. It felt cold, like how it did when she was forced into the cave. She put the earring on her horn. Instantly, the water began to heat up. Luminescent knew this was the effect of the enchanted earring. She began to walk deeper into the underwater tunnel. Finally, she dipped her head under the water. She began to breathe. She opened her eye, and instead of the jet black cave she saw before entering, she saw every feature. "What the?" Luminescent questioned. "That shouldn't happen!" Abalone yelled in her head. "I only enchanted it to do one thing! Never did I enchant it to do THAT!" Luminescent knew something had changed. She held up her talon, except that it wasn't her talon. She gazed into a webbed talon. "Um... Abalone. Am I a-" Luminescent began. "Yes, Luminescent... your a seawing... an all to familiar seawing." Abalone answered, but Luminescent felt his presence disappear. Luminescent reached for the earring, but felt a slip of paper that wasn't there before on it. She ripped it off and read,
To my dearest son,
I'm sorry about the future, however good or bad it may be,
I know all about you trying to save Anemone, your timedial,
and your escape. But, you don't know where your animus
powers came from, so many years after my death, I'm finally
ready to tell you. I was born Animus, unlike you. I wanted to
use my powers for the better, I simply just didn't know how.
So, I created you. Kamen disapproved of the idea, which is
how he got his unusual hatred for you and me. I ignored
him, however and enchanted our egg.
"The dragonet who hatches from this egg will be born
animus, but will not lose their soul when they enchant 
something" I know that you're going to just deny my letter,
Abalone, so I've re-enchanted the airbubble you gave to
me. "In nine years, the enchantment of, Whoever wears
this will transform into the seawing, Angelfish, will be added
with the enchantment originally put on this earring. And when
the Rainwing/Nightwing fusion, Luminescent wears this necklace,
A note with the words I speak right now will appear."
---
Kamen! I'm busy!
---
Like mother, like son, we both decides to enchant an object that
would allow us to time travel. So tonight, I know Kamen is going to
murder me. This is also how I know who you are, Luminescent.
---
KAMEN, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! I'm sorry Abalone, Luminescent,
but now my time has come.
Please forgive me...
Luminescent had to put the note down for a moment. "Oh three moons..." Luminescent whispered to herself. She knew what had just happened, as the rest of the note was blank. She shook her head, remembering what she had to do. She swam out of the cave. When she finally found an exit, it was nightfall. Deep palace... Deep palace... Deep-- THERE! Luminescent spotted an area where the ocean got deeper. She swam (as best as she could) down. She spotted Saltwater, swimming down as well. Luminescent began to follow him, trying not to get noticed. After a long hour, she could see the palace. Woah! Luminescent gasped in her head. There was literally a palace underwater! She swam into the palace, finally swimming away from Saltwater. She stared around, Finally finding a map of the ocean floor. She didn't know which direction she was swimming, but the map said that to the north was the shark pits, the east was the Angel reefs, the south didn't have anything written, and the west was the Summer Palace. Luminescent figured that she'd came from the south, so she exited what she thought was the eastern entrance/exit. After four minutes of swimming, The ocean floor had began to go down again. Luminescent stared out into the area, and it appeared that there were at least 100 Dolphins swimming around. She began to swim out into the open. Well, this doesn't look like a reef... Luminescent thought. Then one Dolphin began to swim at her. wait, why is it's tail going from left to right? When the creature got closer, Luminescent realized it wasn't a Dolphin at all! Shark pits! Luminescent realized, quickly turning around and swimming the other direction. That means I came from... Luminescent placed her talon on her head. Of course I came from the east! Luminescence's wing got pulled forward by a current of some sort. She began to think. Luminescent swam into the current, the shark approaching fast. Please work! Luminescent prayed, as she tilted her wings down. Suddenly, the current shot Luminescent out of the pits, going back in the direction of the Deep palace.
-***-
Luminescent's current had taken her directly to the Coral reef. She held her wings back up and left the current. She immediately noticed a well sized house to her left. As she swam towards the house, she could hear Aloina's uncle from inside. "THIS IS WAAYY TOO LONG OF A CHAPTER!" he yelled, "ALOINA! PLEASE BRING ME MY BOOKMARK!" Luminescent didn't like what Aloina's uncle had just said. She opened the door and walked walked out of the water that filled the entrance. The house was covered in garbage. Luminescent could feel her scales returning to normal she risked peeking around the trash, just to see Aloina wearing a light pink dress, and putting a clip on her uncle's scroll. "ALOINA!" Aloina's aunt called, "Where's that lemon coated octopus covered in sea salt I asked for?" Aloina didn't answer, stomping off towards what Luminescent could only guess was where the octopus was. She came back holding an octopus and delivered it to where her aunt was. She took a bite. "THIS IS AWFUL! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO COOK?" Aloina's aunt shouted. Aloina's uncle got up and grabbed Aloina by her tail. "Hey!" Aloina roared. Then, Aloina's uncle threw Aloina into a wall. Luminescent was gaping, disbelief and rage covering the parts of her body that could change color. "HEY!" Luminescent shouted. Her uncle stiffened up, and turned slowly towards Luminescent. "Lumi- Luminescent?" Aloina asked. Luminescent forced Slip off of Aloina. Now that Luminescent was up close to Aloina, she could see that Aloina was bleeding just about everywhere. Soon, Aloina's aunt stood up and glared at Luminescent. "Whaddya want?" She spat. "HOW DARE YOU!" the Blackheart and Amorous parts of Luminescent shouted, perfectly in sync for once. "THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT A DRAGONET!" Aloina's aunt looked away. "How did you get here?" She asked, avoiding what Luminescent yelled. "ANIMUS MAGIC!" Luminescent answered. Slip stepped back. "Oh, really?" Aloina's aunt asked. "How much?" Luminescent glared at Aloina's aunt. "Enough to kill you right now." She hissed. Suddenly, Aloina's aunt lunged at Luminescent's necklace. Luminescent wasn't fast enough to block her. "Heh!" Aloina's aunt croaked. She began to pull the necklace off. It didn't burn.
== Chapter 48: Sync ==
I understand now. Luminescent realized. Why it burns me, one of its extra enchantments is that if we want to stay together, then you'll burn whoever is trying to remove it. Aloina's aunt slid the necklace right off, and Blackheart and Amorous separated. They each landed, and pounced back on Aloina's aunt. "What the-" She shrieked. "Yeah! Go Amorous and Blackheart!" Aloina cheered. Amorous and Blackheart held down Aloina's aunt. "I'll never let you harm Aloina again!" They growled together. Aloina's aunt gasped. "No." She denied. She's my servant, not yours." Then, Aloina's aunt slid one of the necklaces onto her and tossed the other to Slip. Amorous and Blackheart gasped. "NO! Don't!" Amorous cried. Aloina leaped at Slip and retrieved the necklace carved like a flame from him. "Not on my watch!" She cheered. Amorous looked at Blackheart. he nodded. Amorous turned invisible, leaving Blackheart to hold down Aloina's aunt. "You will not!" Aloina's aunt yelled. She slumped up, letting the necklace fall off her, and forced Blackheart off of her. She threw Blackheart into a wall and charged at Aloina. Blackheart leaped off the wall and snatched the heart shaped necklace from off the ground. Amorous!" He shouted, throwing the necklace at nothing. Amorous caught the necklace, and tripped Aloina's aunt with her tail. Aloina's aunt had passed out. "Aloina!" Blackheart called. "H- WOAH! Here!" she called, passing the necklace to Blackheart. Blackheart caught the necklace and slid it on his neck. Amorous put hers on. Luminescent reformed and forced Slip off of Aloina. "Coolest! Dragons! Ever!" Aloina cheered. Luminescent grabbed a nearby stone cup and smashed it against Slip's head. "Woopie!" was the last thing he said, before passing out too. There was an awkward silence. "Well, I never expected to do that!" Luminescent gasped. "Are you okay?" Aloina stood up. "Coolest. Parents. Ever." She said. Luminescent jumped. "What?" Aloina looked embarrassed. "Oh, did I say parents? Whoops, I meant Dragons. He he..." Luminescent smiled then hugged Aloina. "You know what?" She said, "I don't think I'd mind being your parent." Aloina looked up at Luminescent, with eyes that shined like stars. "So you'll be my... my mother?" Aloina asked. Luminescent smiled at Aloina. "Yeah!" she whispered "Plus, I know some seawings, they might help me out a bit." Aloina hugged Luminescent. "We should get going!" Aloina realized, "Slip's waking up!" Luminescent stared at Slip. He was waking up. "This might be a little weird." Luminescent explained, exiting the house. "I'm ready!" Aloina cheered, Luminescent dove into the water, feeling her scales shrink back into Angelfish's. Aloina flinched as soon as she saw, but her look said, "WOAH! When can I do that!"
== Chapter 49: Dream ==
Aloina and Luminescent finally resurfaced. Luminescent felt her scales grow back to Luminescent's size. "So... When can I--" Aloina began. "Do that?" Luminescent finished. She began to think. "How about when your a little bigger?" Aloina scrunched her snout, and began to pout. Luminescent giggled. She never was a parent, and Luminescent felt that being Aloina's parent was kind of awkward. Amorous and Blackheart were only a year or two older than Aloina, regardless, Luminescent still felt that being Aloina's parent was the right thing to do. "Let's sleep on it." Luminescent suggested. "Fine." Aloina sighed. Luminescent closed her eyes. Ha! I might as well be considered as Lotus flower's twin! Now I think I know why he's so addicted to dragonets.
 -***-
Luminescent opened her eyes. Is this a dream? Luminescent wondered. Her last dreams were in a desert. but after she had destroyed Littoral and Benthic's dream mirror, she didn't have any dreams or nightmares, just an empty black void. Luminescent glanced around. She stared up at jade mountain. A seawing had just exited from one of the tunnels. She noticed Luminescent and flew over to her. Luminescent knew this seawing instantly. "You!" Neritic cheered. "I thought you'd never come back!" Luminescent stared at Neritic. "Your- your scales!" Luminescent studdered. Neritic looked at her scales. "Yeah... prettier than me in the dream... and real life." It was true, Neritic's scales looked very... old in the desert. In fact, Blobfishe's scales looked similar to Neritic's scales in the desert. "I doubt you look like that in the real world." Luminescent reassured. Neritic gave her a wry look. "I do..." She whispered. "But you freed me! That's what matters!" Luminescent remembered a question she had after her last dream with the ghosts. "What do you mean by free?" Luminescent asked. "I realized that I had that question after the last time we met." Neritic thought Luminescent had known what she meant the first time, according to her expression. "Well, at that moment, I knew the ghosts would be gone. I thought that they'd also be gone in real life, but I was wrong. But, hey! They don't take over my dreams anymore, so I'm free to dream about things I want to dream again." Neritic explained. "Like who I used to look like." Luminescent wrapped her wing about Neritic. "Do you know about a dragon named Tubbataha?" Aloina asked suddenly. "No..." Luminescent answered, "But I've heard his or her name before." Neritic looked down. "Oh, okay. She just was a pretty seawing, like me. but then Littoral and Benthic began to play with us, rotting our scales for their own fun. Soon, seawings began making fun of us. They began to call her Blobfish." Luminescent jumped. "Blobfish?" Luminescent repeated. "I've met a dragon named blobfish, but the ghosts... they made her explode." Neritic looked down. "Figured." She said. Luminescent could hear Neritic cursing in her head. "I suppose you'll be arriving here soon." Neritic said instead. "Seeing how you've been wanting to return to your home." Luminescent stared at Neritic. "How did you--" Luminescent began "They tell me." Neritic interrupted. "Being haunted is weird... to say the least. You begin to hear these... voices." Luminescent stared at Neritic. She stood up and said, "You'd better be on your way. I'll show you the fastest way through Jade mountain." Neritic gestured at Luminescent. "Not many dragons will see me, right?" Luminescent asked. "No." Neritic answered. "Why?" Luminescent stared at her talons. "Well, I don't want anyone informing Queen Glory that I'm returning. I was kind of taken prisoner..." Luminescent explained. "Rainwings take prisoners?" Neritic asked. "I thought they were too lazy to even care." Luminescent's necklace began to burn, badly. "Well, they're not lazy!" The Blackheart side of Luminescent yelled. Then she closed her right eye, trying to calm down. "I don't understand you sometimes." Neritic began, "Sometimes your voice sounds too deep, and other times it sounds too high, and rarely it sounds like your actually talking in your normal voice." Luminescent stopped in her place. "Oh, yeah," She realized, the burning beginning to stop. "You should probably see why, huh." Neritic turned. "You mean, show me who you really are, like how Littoral and Benthic were trying to do?" Luminescent grabbed her necklace, beginning to have the same feelings and thoughts about everything she could think of. "Yeah, Luminescent said, pulling the necklace off without it burning. Suddenly her vision split in two. Amorous and Blackheart stared at Neritic. "You!" Neritic said. "Your not a ghost! But your faces."
"I got burned."
"And I got some venom to the face." They looked at Neritic, who was putting the pieces together in her head. "Three moons." Neritic gasped. "Wait, are you two-" A scroll suddenly appeared in Neritic's talon. Amorous and Blackheart immediately recognized the scroll as Lifelight and Blackvoid's trial results. "Yes. I am Blackvoid's son,"
"and I am Lifelight's daughter." Blackheart put on his necklace, as Amorous put her's on. "Three moons, You need to get back to the Rainforest! Luckily, just go straight through this cave when you get here, and you'll pretty much be in the rainforest." Luminescent stared through the cave.

Luminescent woke up. All she remembered from her dream was going through a cave and arriving in the rainforest. She stood up, and noticed a large seawing swimming in the water. Did she really- Luminescent felt her horn, and indeed, the air bubble wasn't there. "Aloina!" Luminescent called. The seating stopped swimming. She resurfacesd. "Yes?" the dragon called back. "Did you really take the air bubble?" Luminescent asked. There was a moment of silence. "Well, yeah," Aloina answered. "I just wanted to see, no, to feel what it was like, you know, changing your body." Luminescent grinned, but then realized something. "Um... Why aren't we at the beach?" Aloina laughed. "In your sleep, you kept mentioning Jade Mountain, so I looked at your map, and I realized that it was a fraud! It's a common trick dragon eats like to play to confuse older dragons, so I flew you all the way across the ocean so you could see Jade mountain!" Luminescent was gaping. "You flew me across the ocean, the entire ocean! How?" Aloina walked out of the water, shrinking to her normal size. "I have the energy of a dragonet, and with this air bubble, I had the strength of a full grown seawing!" Luminescent was still confused because she was bigger than Angelfish. "Also, your really light weight for your size." Aloina finished. "Ah!" Luminescent responded. She stood up. "Well, let's get going to Jade Mountain.
== Chapter 50: Jade ==
Luminescent and Aloina flew for two hours until Jade mountain came into view. They landed nearby an orange tree and ate lunch. Aloina caught some fish as Luminescent picked some oranges from the tree. Afterwards, Luminescent and Aloina flew over to the cave. When Luminescent landed, she jumped in surprise. "N-N-Neritic?" Luminescent asked. "Told you I'd meet you here." Neritic replied. She wrapped her wing around Luminescent like in the dream. "I thought that," Neritic put her talon over Luminescents mouth. "I do look like that in real life." Neritic sighed. Luminescent looked down. "It's not your fault." Neritic said. "I'm sorry!" Luminescent cried. She couldnt handle it. Seeing Tubbataha explode, seeing how Aloina was treated, and now learning that Neritic wasn't the dragon she was supposed to be, it was enough to really make any dragon cry... Well maybe except Slip, Aloina's aunt, and the ghosts. "You should get going." Neritic warned. "Classes are about to be dismissed." Luminescent nodded. She gave Neritic one last hug. "Ready, Aloina." Luminescent half asked. "Yes!" She replied. Luminescent walked with Aloina through the cave. Five minutes later, a bell rang. "That's the dismissal bell." Neritic explained. "I'd better get going." Luminescent nodded. "Alright. Maybe I'll see you again." Neritic nodded and turned into the cave right of them. "Is that a friend?" Aloina asked. "In a way." Luminescent answered. They saw a light up ahead. Luminescent sped up, and Aloina thought she was racing her and rushed to the end of the cave. Two minutes later Luminescent stood next to Aloina outside the cave, staring out at the rainforest. I'm home! I'm finally home!
