* Fossil (a geodewing seawing hybrid)
* Heartsong
* Obsidian
== Prologue ==
Diamond knew that she had to get out of the SeaWing kingdom fast. She was slowly and steadily being discovered for who she really was, a GeodeWing. However, she had waited on leaving for so long because of the dragon egg, her child. She knew that if she left right now, her dragonet would be sentenced to the teasing that a hybrid dragon in the GeodeWing kingdom would usually get. GeodeWing dragonets just didn't understand these days. They didn't even know that a war was going on. However, if she stayed... She didn't know what could happen to a geodewing dragon hatched underwater and raised there. There might be problems later on when he goes on the land. His crystals might dissolve. That certainly would be worse than teasing. She finally decided, she would leave and take the egg. She would have to tell Seasponge.
She found Seasponge in his bedroom. "Seasponge," she said, "I have something of the utmost importance to tell you!"
"Yes," he said dazed, "What is it?"
"I have decided to leave and take the egg with me," she said.
Seasponge was listening now. "What!" He cried out. "You can't take him! How will he be able to see his own father!"
"The answer is simple," Diamond replied calmly, "I keep him until his scales harden, and the saltwater can't corrode his crystals. When his has matured, I will tell him about you, and we will come visit. It's the safest way. I have been staying here for little under a year, and I feel very weak. If a full grown GeodeWing gets very weak in the SeaWing kingdom, what about a baby dragonet!"
"I guess you do have a point," Seasponge sighed, "At least could I say goodbye?"
"I don't see why not,"Diamond said.
"Also, could we have some privacy?" Seasponge asked.
"Sure" Diamond said. She left the room.
When Diamond had left the room, he began whispering to the egg, "I'm an animus, you know, and I have a feeling that the queen is going to need my abilities soon. You might never see me. I can't bear that thought! That is why I'm making this message, and putting it inside of your egg, it will open in a time of need, Nothing could go wrong!"
He gave the egg to Diamond, who swam away, Meanwhile, inside the egg, the message was reacting rather unusually. The pressure underwater was making the message squeeze very tightly inside of the egg, so much, that, it was causing a mutation.
== Chapter One ==
Fossil woke up in a flash. He was in the SeaWings underwater palace, with a voice calling from a distance. Save me my son! He then realized that he was back in his bed, in the GeodeWing caverns, late at night. Slowly, Fossil fell back to sleep. He had been having that dream for about a week now, he had still not told anyone about them yet. He figured it would give the other dragonets even more reasons to think he was a freak. He didn't mind the teasing, he just wanted some friends.
He then exited his room and went out to hunt. He usually did all the hunting, and his mother stayed in bed. He didn't hold this against her, because she was so weak that she couldn't do anything else. He caught a cow and decided it was good enough. He ate it with his mother and then went off to the training grounds.
He didn't like the training grounds for two reasons. First, all the dragonets teased him about the patterns on his belly, and the big rock on his tail, which because of it, it was even more difficult for him to fly. Another reason why he hated the training grounds was that he already knew most of the skills that they were teaching, because of his mother.
Today really wasn't that much better for him. Today they had career day, and they brought in a dragon from the mines. He talked about how great a job in the mine was. Mostly the class believed him, except for Fossil. For some strange reason, most unlike other GeodeWings, he didn't want to spend his life confined in a cavern. He wanted to fly out over the land, explore and, hopefully, find out who his real father was. He knew that his father had the answers to his different appearance, which his mother explained were birth defects.
When the break for rest occurred, Fossil went out to hunt for dinner so he could have some spare time for homework. He saw a chicken that wandered into the caves, chicken were a rare treat, as they usually don't wander into caves. He went closer, and realized it was a baby eagle. This was even better, because eagle was a rare and tasty treat. He pounced, but his tail dragged him down. The eagle flew away. Fossil tried to fly after it, but he got a few feet up before faceplanting into the ground. Keeping his poise, he turned around to find something else only to find Obsidian the dragonet - one of the meanest dragonets there.
"Hey Fossil," Obsidian snarled, "What was that? They told me pigs can't fly, and they were right! Man I have never seen as big a pig as you."
Fossil replied coolly, "I think you really need to find some better insults, they have rapidly been downgrading in quality. After all, who could forget the one last week. That was a really good one."
"You take that back!" Obsidian shouted. Everyone on the training ground could hear them now.
"Why should I take something back if it's true?" Fossil answered.
You could hear a group of young dragonets say, " Oooh burn!"
Obsidian smirked "Did you hear about the geode shortage Fossil?" he asked.
Fossil replied, with a nervous tone in his voice, " No I haven't, why do you ask?"
Obsidian had a clearly shown malevolent smile on his face. He twirled Fossil's tail around in his talons. "Because if we got that little geode off your tail, we could increase the GeodeWing geode market tenfold."
Warning bells went off in Fossil's head, but before he could do anything, Obsidian attacked. He picked up the geode with his hooked teeth and chomped down on it. The pain was the worst thing that Fossil had ever felt in his life. Eventually Obsidian had bitten down so hard that the geode had cracked in half and fell from his tail. The pain was so great that Fossil fainted, with the last words that he heard were "Save me my son! "
== Chapter Two ==
While Fossil was passed out, he had the same dream that he had been having, he was in the SeaWing palace, and his father was calling out to him. However, there was a SeaWing standing right in front of him this time, and he looked exhausted. Fossil knew it could be only one person, however he didn't want to believe it.
"My son, if you are receiving this message, the worst has happened. Queen Coral has decided to use my animus abilities for the benefit of the SeaWing army. The first place she wants to attack is the GeodeWing kingdom, for having place your mother there to spy on the royal family, which didn't actually happen at all. Inside the geode that came with your egg is a soul band. You must get it to me immediately! This is the only way to save the GeodeWings, and my soul. Tell your mother, she will understand. Go to the RainWings, they will help too. Don't go alone, bring someone you trust with you."
His dad was beginning to disappear. Fossil was waking up. The last words that he heard from his father were "Save me my son!"
== Chapter Three ==
When Fossil woke up, he thought he was hallucinating. Obsidian was standing right over him, holding a get well soon card. Before Fossil could say anything, Obsidian said, "Look, I heard the whole thing. The medics tried to surgically attach the geode back to your tail. It didn't work. I kept the geode and it started to glow. I heard the whole conversation with your dad. If I had known that your dad was a SeaWing, I wouldn't have teased you so much."
"Why does that change things?" Fossil asked bitterly.
You wouldn't know it," Obsidian responded. "But my mom is a NightWing. "
Fossil was shocked at first, but then be realized that it made sense. Obsidian had always acted mysterious and all high and mighty. He also looked a little bit different, but not as much as Fossil.
"Also I'm sorry about teasing you. I never knew that you didn't know one of your parents. That's why I want to come with you to find your father. You see, I never knew my mother, so I sympathize with you not knowing who he was. Also, I guess I also have to do this for the safety of the GeodeWing tribe. If the SeaWings come with animus enchanted weapons, this tribe will be doomed, all because of something that did not happen."
" I guess when you state it like that..." Fossil said with a smile. This was really exciting for him. Discovering that his father was alive and making a new friend made that day, despite having a major injury in it, one of the greatest days of Fossil's life.
"Oh by the way," Obsidian said, "Here is a get well soon card. I made it myself."
It was one of the nicest things anyone had done for Fossil, and he could tell Obsidian knew that. "Thank you." Fossil said with his eyes shining.
"No problem," Obsidian replied, "Now let's go find your mother and set off. You know where the RainWing village is right?"
"I appreciate your enthusiasm Obsidian, but I can't fly far, remember?" Fossil said.
Obsidian gasped. "I forgot to tell you! Because they got the geode off your tail, you can fly like normal now!"
Fossil couldn't believe his ears. "Fly, like normal? How?"
"Well you see," replied Obsidian, "Now that the geode is off your tail, it doesn't weigh you down anymore!"
Fossil was jumping for joy! Not literally, because he was still in his hospital bed.
"So what are you waiting for! Let's go find your mother so we can set off to find your dad."
"Okay." Fossil replied. "Let's go!"
Needless to say, Fossil's mom said yes, and in the curtain of the night, Fossil and Obsidian flew off to the RainWing kingdom.
== Chapter Four ==
It felt glorious for Fossil to fly so high in the sky after not being able to. The freedom feeling would not be muffled, not even by all the teasing kids that had insulted him in his life.
On another note, Fossil did not reallize how far away the RainWing kingdom was. He got more and more tired with every wingbeat. Finally he asked Obsidian if he had to rest, and he said yes. Below them was a cave, so they decided to sleep there.
The cave was very cozy, well lit, and had refreshments all around it. In the center of the room, there was a huge, already cooked cow. Fossil had a bad feeling about this cave, it seemed odd, to him, like was abandoned. But why? Suddenly the truth hit him. Obsidian had just entered the cave and was about to pounce on the cow. "Obsidian stop!" Fossil yelled, "It's a...! "
But he was too late. Obsidian had already ate a piece of the cow. A net had swooped down from the ceiling and had captured him. He roared and tried to cut himself loose, but it was apparently fireproof and claw proof.
Fossil was on guard now, "It's okay Obsidian! I tried to tell you it was a trap. Whatever happens, some dragons are coming. They most likely aren't SeaWings, because the trap was set above the water, and it couldn't have been IceWings, because it's too far out. Most likely the dragons that come will help! Just stay calm."
Obsidian had already fallen asleep. It made Fossil wonder if the cow was drugged, or if Obsidian was really tired.
In his head, Fossil was making a game plan for when the dragons who set that trap would come. He knew that he couldn't fight all that well, so if the SkyWings came and put him in their arena, he would be dead by the first fight. If any other tribe came, he wouldn't have any problems, at least he did not think so.
He waited for ten minutes, which seemed like ten hours. No one was coming. Fossil wondered if he should just fall asleep and take care of things in the morning. As Fossil was just about to give up, he saw some figures in the shadows.
"Hello?" Fossil called out nervously, "Is anyone there? "
A dart came out of nowhere and grazed Fossil's scales. He immediately hid behind the stand that was holding the cow. 
One of the dragons called out, "Hello? Is anyone there? Oh well, at least there is one in the net, he looks like a deformed fellow NightWing. Why would he be in one of our traps? Oh well, let's bring him back to the queen." 
Fossil knew he had to do something. He had to go with Obsidian, he knew that if Obsidian went with those dragons, all would be lost. Fossil knew that he had to give up his hiding spot. 
Fossil jumped out behind the cow and said, "Don't you want me instead?" Immediately a dart punctured his scales and Fossil had passed out for the second time that day. 
== Chapter Five ==
Fossil woke up in a sack on the back of a dragon. He started to listen to the dragons' conversation. 
"So do you think that Queen Glory is going to like what we are bringing her?" 
Another dragon spoke, this one sounded more like he did not care about what was being said. "I really don't know, she doesn't usually like it when we bring in drugged dragonets,  but who am I to know?" 
The dragons walked in silence. After a few minutes, one of them asked, the one holding Fossil, "Hey, are you awake in there? You might not be able to talk so well if you are,  so kick me or something."
Fossil kicked the dragon as hard as he could. 
"Okay!" the dragon stated, "This one is definitely awake. What about the other one?" 
There was a pause, and the other dragon said, "This one isn't, but at least the queen will be happier than if we brought them both in knocked out cold."
"Speaking of Queen Glory, we are almost there." one of the dragons stated. 
There was some more silence.  Finally Fossil was let out of the bag. The first thing he saw was the vibrant colors of the rainforest. "The RainWings," he whispered under his breath, "We made it." 
The next thing he saw a simply constructed throne, with a RainWing sitting on it. She was smiling at him, while glaring at the two dragons that brought him in. One was a RainWing, the other one was a NightWing, which confused Fossil. He thought that Nightwings lived in their own secret kingdom  
"Deathbringer, Jambu," the queen sternly said,"Why did you bring these perfectly innocent dragonets to me?" 
"You see Queen Glory, you said that you should bring anyone who falls prey to the trap to you, correct?" the NightWing dragon who Fossil guessed was Deathbringer answered
"As a matter of fact," Queen Glory replied, " I did say that, but what else did I say? Oh yes, that's right, TO ONLY BRING THEM IF THEY LOOK DANGEROUS! Because you didn't listen to this rule, you've possibly scared two innocent dragonets out of their minds!"
Obsidian had woken up now. He looked around, simply yawned and mumbled, "What did I miss?" 
Queen Glory looked at Obsidian out of the corner of her eye and said, "Well maybe not him but what about the other one? He must be scared out of his mind!"
"Actually, Queen Glory," Fossil said while smiling at her. "This is actually where my comrade and I were planning to go, we saw the cave and stopped to rest. We actually seemed to get there faster!"
"Oh in that case, Deathbringer, Jambu, I'll talk to you two later,  So young dragonet, what caused you to make such a long journey?"
== Chapter Six ==
Fossil didn't know what to say. He decided to go with the simplest answer. "I need to rescue my father."
"Oh," said Queen Glory, "Well what does he need to be rescued from?  Depending on what it is, I can help you. I will try to do the best that I can." 
Fossil told Queen Glory everything. He needed to vent out to someone his pain. He even told her some stuff that had nothing to do with his dad. The best part was that she listened to every single word. 
When Fossil had finally finished talking, she said, "You know, I relate to you in many different ways. I was underestimated most of my life because of my tribe. People always called me lazy even though I wasn't. I tried time and time again to prove them wrong,  but they wouldn't listen. They only people that made me feel better were my friends."
Fossil replied, "Why you know, it really is a big mistake to judge someone by their tribe, you might make a big mistake about who the dragon is inside." 
Queen Glory smiled and said, "I agree with that statement with all my heart. So about your father, I would come with you to save him, but I have to run my kingdom. However, I will bring an diplomatic escort with you. I wish I could do more, but unfortunately, I can't. The SeaWings can't do anything to you if they know that I sent you. I will be sending my adviser in diplomacy, Heartsong. Oh Heartsong! 
A RainWing came into the hut. "Yes, your highness?" she asked.
Queen Glory answered. "Oh good, you're here. I need you to go on a diplomatic relations mission wth this young dragonet."
"Yes your majesty, " Heartsong replied. 
"Now young dragonet, I recomend you leave as quick as possible. After all, time is the essence if you want to save your dad. Here is a scroll that tells you the way from here to the Seawing kingdom. Heartsong knows her way around there too. I wish all of you the best of luck."
"Thank you your majesty, " Fossil replied, "Obsidian, Heartsong, we need to leave to find the SeaWing kingdom. "
They all said goodbye to Queen Glory, and flew off.￼￼￼￼￼￼ 
== Chapter Seven ==
Fossil wanted to get to know Heartsong better. "So Heartsong, what's your favorite color?" 
"Well, I like gold." she said shyly.  
"Of course she likes gold," Fossil thought, "She keeps her scales that color all the time. Duh! " 
"So what is your favorite color? " asked Heartsong 
"I like the color light blue. Obsidian, what is your favorite color?" 
Obsidian replied, while feeling very awkward, "Ummmmm... Black? " 
"Oh by the way," Heartsong said, "You don't have to call me Heartsong all the time, it's only my formal name. You can call me Song." 
"Oh, that's a pretty name. " Fossil answered. Fossil actually thought that it was the prettiest name that he had ever heard, but he wasn't about to tell her that. 
"So," Obsidian asked, "I don't know if this is a rude question or not, and you don't have to answer this question if it is a touchy subject, but what happened that made you learn your way around the SeaWing kingdom?" 
Song frowned and furrowed her brow, like she was thinking hard. "There's no problem with me telling you that story, it's just that it's a long one. It is a better one to tell when we stop to rest."    
The dragons flew on a little longer in silence. Fossil kept on checking the map. Finally he recognized a landmark. "Hey guys, I see a cave, the SeaWing kingdom is still far away, and it is beginning to get dark. Maybe we should get some rest. "    
"I second that suggestion!" Obsidian said    
"If you dragons are really that tired, we will rest." Song said, "However, someone should check to see if the cave is trapped, after all, you dragons were really lucky that the RainWings set that trap. If any other tribe had, you most likely be imprisoned."    
Obsidian said, "I'll go do it. I promise that I won't get distracted by any food if it is a trap. If I don't come back in five minutes, it's safe."    
Obsidian flew towards the cave. Heartsong smiled and said, "Oh good, now that we are alone, what do you really want to talk about?"    
== Chapter Eight ==
"Wha...what do you mean?" Fossil asked nervously.
"Oh you know exactly what I mean Fossil. Seriously? What's your favorite color? I knew you wanted to ask me something else but you were too scared to."
Fossil felt guilty, because he knew she was right. However, the thing that he really wanted to say, well, it would be a little too awkward for right now. He had to make up an lie.
"Ummm..., " Fossil replied," Obsidian already said it."
He could tell Song knew he was lying, but she didn't probe any further. "Oh, I suppose you have the right to know. My parents abandoned me there when I was a young dragonet. I had to stay camouflaged there for five years, because I didn't know what else to do. Even if I did know, I wouldn't be able to make it back on my own at such a young age. I hoped that the SeaWings would figure out who I was one day, but they did not. I waited and waited, all while living on the outskirts of the kingdom, all alone. I had to learn how to thrive by myself. About four years after I had been abandoned, Queen Glory had learned about my disappearance, and bargained for my return. For a long time the royal SeaWings said no, because they thought I was one of them. Eventually one of my friends at school told me about the debate, and I decided to reveal myself. This wasn't the greatest idea because the SeaWings decided to take advantage of me. They put me in the dungeons, and forced me to wait on the Queen. One time they even had me fight in a battle. Needless to say, I was scared, seeing all those dead bodies. Finally the Queen just decided to send a group of soldiers, and they rescued me. Queen Glory decoded to make me head of diplomatic relations, because I was one of the few RainWing dragons who had seen the world. I'm assuming he sent me on this mission to get revenge on the SeaWings. There, that's my backstory."
Fossil was shocked. He knew that the SeaWings were evil enough to kidnap an innocent animus and to make him lose his soul bit by bit, but he didn't know that they would enslave a young dragonet to get what they wanted! Now he really wanted to get revenge on them, not by rescuing his father, but by doing something that will make them pay for making a young dragonet feel that much pain.
"Judging by the angry look on your face, you want to get revenge on all the SeaWings, right? " Song said," Well on my behalf, please don't do it. I know they seem like filthy dragons, but they really aren't all that bad. I had plenty of friends at school who didn't judge my differences, and were really mad when they found out what the royal dragons had done to me. In fact, some of their parents started a petition, but I don't know what happened to them. If you want to get revenge, get revenge on the royals."
"Oh ok," Fossil answered," It's been five minutes. Should we go check on Obsidian?"
"I think that's a great idea." Song replied.
They flew over to the cave. There were no traps, and Obsidian was fast asleep. Fossil and Song joined them, sleeping in one big line. They fell asleep. While sleeping, Fossil and Song intertwined their tails together, a gesture of appreciation
== Chapter Nine ==
Everyone had woken up. "Well," Fossil stated, "Lets go find some food and and set off."
They split up, with Fossil and Obsidian looking for meat and Song looking for fruits. When Song had left, Obsidian asked, "What did you and Song talk about while I was gone? It took you ages to get back. I got so bored that I fell asleep."
Fossil replied, "Well, I don't know if she would want me to, it was about her past, and it might be a little personal. However, you could ask her about it, and she may tell you then. I just don't know what blurting out information could do, we don't know if anyone is spying on us."
"Oh I see your point. Don't worry, I don't mind. I was just curious." Obsidian answered.
They didn't have to wait long to find some food. With two cows in tow, Obsdian and Fossil went back to the cave. However, Song wasn't there. They looked around and still couldn't find her. They waited an hour. She still didn't come. Finally they split up to go look for her. Obsidian went to look at the direction of the RainWing kingdom, and Fossil went to look closer to the MudWings.
Fossil looked for hours, and still couldn't find her. He looked and he looked, but there was still no Song. He finally checked by the water, and he saw an island. He quickly ran to tell Obsidian, and they both investigated it.
"Can you see her?" Obsidian asked.
Fossil replied, "No, I can't! Wait a second..."
He could actually see her in the distance, her gold scales distinguishable among all the foliage. They started to run towards her, but she was making signs with her talons, like it wasn't a good idea. When they got a little closer, they could see why. There was two SeaWing dragons standing right beside her, who had presumably binded her mouth and tied her talons to the ground.
"Oh come on!" Obsidian groaned, "Why does trouble always seem to find us?"
However Fossil didn't hear them. He was too busy trying to come up with a game plan in his head.
"Look kid, there is no way that you are getting out of this, " one dragon sneered," We have to bring you to Coral, Queen's orders. She prefers that you dragons are alive, but if you squirts act up too much" The dragon slid his talon across his throat. "Got it?"
Obsidian nodded quickly and kept his mouth shut. Fossil grudgingly nodded his head. He would have much prefered that he entered the seawing kingdom with a clean slate so that he could argue his point with the queen better. However, he also did not feel like getting knocked out for the third time in two days.
"Fine," Fossil grudingly said, "You don't have to sedate me. I will go on my own terms. You can leave my friends alone. It's not their fault that they happen to be traveling with me. Take me instead!"
"Oh we know that. Your Nightwing friend can go back to where he came from. However, your Rainwing companion has to come with us too." He gave a menacing look at Song. Pure fear flashed across her face for a second, but then she stared defiantly into the guards' eyes.
The guards quickly binded Fossil's wings and his mouth. He was marched through the underbrush of the island, Obsidian gave him one last look of despair. He then flew off into the sky. Fossil secretly wished he could go with him. He really wanted to just fly away, away from all his problems.
However, as he was being marched through the jungle, he felt stuck, like he couldn't do anything. It was back to the drawing board on how to save his dad.
== Chapter Ten ==
It seemed as if Fossil was trudging on for ages. In reality he really had been marched around for about an hour.
The group finally reached the beach. "Sorry," one of the Seawing guards said, "We're gonna have to knock you out for this part. Well, maybe not her She most likely has already seen everything, so there is really is no point in hiding it from her.
"Oh come on! " Fossil thought.
Song pointed at the leaf at the ground. She then attempted to cover her eyes. It took a while for the guards to get it " Ohhhhh. "one said," Why don't we blindfold him instead? "
The other full out laughed." Oh course we could do that dimwit! But what is the fun in that? It's much more fun to knock them out! It make them respect us better!
Any hope Fossil had in his heart quickly vanished. Song shrugged her shoulders. One of the guards suddenly threw a punch at Fossil's snout. Stars swam before his eyes. Fossil was knocked out cold. "See," the guard who threw the punch said, "I told you it worked every time!" Song glowered at them but could say nothing.
== Chapter Eleven ==
Fossil woke up in a cell, confused. He then remembered that he was captured by the Seawings.
He looked around the cell and noticed that Song was nowhere to be found. He concluded that she was in a higher security cell. Never the less, he still worried about her.
With nothing else to do, Fossil probed the cell for any weaknesses. He did this for quite a while without finding any. After that, he just sat, alone with his own thoughts.
A few minutes later, Fossil heard the noise of three dragons walking down the cell corridor. Fossil decided to spy on them. The only thing that happened was Fossil's cell door opening and the thud of a dragon hitting the floor.
After the guards left, Fossil went up to the dragon to see if it was hurt. It was a male Seawing. He looked hurt, but not by the fall. It looked like he had not slept for days and some of his scales were falling off.
Fossil nudged the dragon with his talon. "Hey, are you alive?" he asked. 
"Yes, but I feel dead." the dragon replied. 
"Okay, well do you know an animus dragon that is being forced to lose his sanity by the queen. I know I sound crazy, but he's really important to me and his life is in danger." Fossil asked. 
"That description perfectly matches me. Why do you care about him so much?" the dragon answered. 
Fossil couldn't believe it. "Dad?"
It suddenly clicked in the dragon's brain. "Son?" 
"I came to save you!" Fossil said breathlessly. 
"Oh that's wonderful news! I can't believe I found my son! Yipee!" the dragon shouted. 
"So how do we get ourselves out of here?" Fossil asked. 
Seasponge sighed. "That won't be easy. All we can really do is wait and see if we get released."  
"But that's preposterous!" Fossil complained, "You might not even have that much time left!" 
"Well we can't really do anything else."  
Fossil realized he was right. There really was nothing else they could do. They just had to wait.  
== Chapter Twelve ==
Song was extremly iritatted. The Seawings had the nerve to kidnap the head of diplomatic relations while she was on a peace mission. It wasn't like she was going to murder anyone! Well, maybe if it came to it.
She was also mad at the two guards standing outside her cell. They didn't have to knock out Fossil! They knew that he had been hurt a lot over the past few days, but they did it anyways! "Calm yourself Song," she thought to herself, "It's not like you love him! Your relationship is only professional!"
In her heart, she didn't believe that. She truly loved him. When she first saw him, she instantly fell in love with him. She tried to deny it, but it never worked. He was one of the only people who she could really confine her feelings with, other than the Queen.
However, there was one thing that she never told him. In fact she never told anyone. She knew that she had to tell someone eventually. Now was not the time.
She paced her cell. Why did they need her? How come they couldn't just take Fossil? Were they trying to use her for a bargining tool? She knew that wasn't the answer. But then what was it?
She looked down at her talons. They were begining to turn a light shade of turquoise, This made her very worried. Where was Fossil? They needed to get out of here fast.
Her cell door creaked open. Song looked up. There, standing in the doorway, was Queen Coral. "You." Song said through gritted teeth, "What did you do to him?" As an after thought she added, "What did you with me?"
"Oh child," Queen Coral grinned, "There is so much that you don't know. I have a feeling that you will figure it out soon. In the meantime, you need to come with me. Or else!" she pointed at her talons, "Got it?"
She nodded." Oh good," The queen said, "Now let's go!"
Song was marched along again. She really wished now that She was back in her cell. "Anything would be better than having to marched along with that dragon." Song thought.
== Chapter Thirteen ==
Obsidian was lonely. Without Fossil around, things were really boring. Plus he had no idea where to go. He couldn't go back to the Geodewings. His dad would probaly kill him for leaving without telling her.
He then remembered when he was at the Rainwing village. One of the people who set the trap was a Nightwing. Maybe he had information about where his mom was! He decided to go back to the Rainwings.
He reached the Rainwing village about five hours later. He asked the first Rainwing he saw, "Can I have an audience with the Dragon named Deathbringer? The dragon pointed him to a hut." Thank you! " Obsidian called out as he ran towards the hut.
He rapped on the door with his talon. The same dragon that captured him answered the door." What do you want?"
"I need your help! My mom was a Nightwing. She married an geodewing named Lantern. I'm trying to find out where she is. Can you help?" Obsidian said.
"Oh, I know who your mom is. She was one of the princesses. Her name was Nightstorm. She died when the volcano exploded.
This news was a major blow to Obsidian. He now had nowhere to go, and he would never be able to meet his mom. "Okay, thank you." He frowned.
He walked off, contemplating his options. He could stay here. He would then never have to worry about anything again. But what about Fossil? He was in trouble. Obsidian knew that he had to go back to the Geodewings and get a rescue party. He couldn't go alone.
Obsidian set off. "I'll find you Fossil," he thought, "And I will make you proud mom, no matter what it takes. I promise!"
== Chapter Fourteen ==
Fossil didn't know what to say. This was the dragon who he waited his whole life to see. He had thoight of a whole conversation in his head that they would have. However, Fossil never imagined that they would meet in a situation like this. The conversation didn't really seem appropriate at that time.
"So... I was wondering. How are we going to get out of this while having both of us keeping our sanity? It looks like we don't have a lot of time left." Fossil asked. It was a start.
"That is a very good question that I don't have the answer to. Do you have someone who might come back to save you?"
"Well maybe Obsidian, but I was enemies with him a week ago so I don't know for sure. We were on pretty good terms so I think he might. If he doesn't come, what should we do?"
"That I don't know. The only thing I can think of is to get one of the council members to vouch for us, which is unlikely. Shh! I hear someone!"
Two guards were walking down the hall. They stopped at Fossil's cell door. The door slowly swung open. "The Queen requests a certain Fossil's presence. If he is here, please tell him to come out, " One of the guards stated.
Fossil walked out of the cell door. "Good luck!" his dad mouthed. The cell door swung shut.
The group matched along for a little bit. The cells seemed to go on forever. Finally one guard broke the silence by asking, "Do you know how to swim?"
"Yes," Fossil answered, "Why?"
"Okay good, because we need to swim to Queen Coral. Follow me, and you hopefully won't be eaten by a shark."
They swam on. Fossil didn't really know for how long. Finally they reached a building. "This is where we are meeting up." the guard said.
Fossil wasn't really too excited too meet Queen Coral. From all descriptions of her that he heard, she sounded like a maniac.
They entered the building. The Queen was sitting on a makeship throne. To Fossil's horror. Song was tied up right next to her. For some weird reason, her scales were begining to turn blue. Whatever was happening, he knew it wasn't good.
"Ah Fossil, the dragon of the hour," Queen Coral said, "I have been waiting to meet you for a really long time."
== Chapter Fifteen ==
"What did you do to her?" Fossil asked. He was really mad at the queen. First torturing his dad, and now this! Song hadn't done anything wrong except come with him!
"Well that's for me to know and for you to find out, " she smirked. Song began to squirm in her bonds. Fossil was worried. However, now was his chance. Now was the perfect time to negotiate with the queen. Yet it didn't seem right. He was beginning to think that negotiating wasn't going to do him any good.
"What do you want from me?" Fossil asked.
"What I want from you is simple," she said, "I want you to tell me everything you know about the Geodewing tribe. If you do that, we will leave you alone and your friends alone, of course, except for when we attack the Geodewings. If you won't tell us on your own will, well, let's just say that things won't be pretty for both you and your comrade. We have other ways of extracting information, you know."
What should he do? Either way, his friends lost. He decided to not do anything. No matter what the queen would do to his friends, he would protect him as best as he could. No matter what the queen would do to him, he would fight on.
"'I'm sorry," Fossil replied, "I believe I don't have the authority to answer that question."
Queen Coral smiled, "Okay, but it's your death sentence. Guards, take him away to,￼￼ the cell," She laughed insanley as she said this.
As he was taken away, Fossil shouted, "Mind you, I have friends in other places! "
There was a crack in the walls of the hut. The Queen looked shocked. Fossil was estatic when he saw who broke through. "Did you really think that I would leave you behind?" Obsidain joked.
== Chapter Sixteen ==
Fossil was shocked at the amount of dragons that Obsidian brought with him. He could clearly reconize the group of geodewing dragons that had teased him since he was a dragonet. There was also a lot of Geodewing dragons Fossil couldn't reconize. He also saw, much to his surprise, a whole group of rainwing dragons and a few Nightwings. "Under the name of Queen Granite and Queen Glory, we demand that you free these dragons!" Obsidian shouted.
Queen Coral smirked, "How are you going to do that? After all, I have an army!"
Obsidian huddled with the other dragons. They then quickly scattered.
Obsidan and the Geodewings headed towards Fossil. The Rainwings bolted towards Song. The Nightwings swam away, presumably to find Fossil's dad. 
Obsidian wrenched Fossil from the guard's grip. The Rainwings cut Song loose. They crowded in a circle in the center of the room, with the Rainwings on the outer edges of the circle and the Geodewings and Song in the center. 
Queen Coral and her guards closed in on them. The Rainwings were scratching and biting with no mercy. Fossil was impressed. In most scrolls that talked about Rainwings, it portrayed them as dragons that couldn't defend themself. What Fossil saw was quite different. 
The Rainwings fought off the Seawings until the Nightwings returned. They came back with Seasponge in tow. "Okay!" Obsidian shouted, "We need to move out now!"
The dragons quickly bolted and swam away. As they swam away, they could hear Queen Coral shouting, "You haven't heard the last of me! War is coming, and you cannot prevent it! I will come back, and stronger than ever!" 
Fossil hoped that sbe was bluffing, but he knew she wasn't. There was still lots of mysteries to be solved. What had happened to Song? Her scales were becoming bluer by the second. He knew something was sinister at work, but he couldn't think about it right now. All could think about was going back, and preparing for the return of Queen Coral. 
==That's the end, or is it? ==
................................................
== Epilouge ==
Queen Coral was estatic. The dragons had done what she had predicted what they would do, leave without asking questions. This was good, as she knew that her plans would be less likely to be achieved if that happened. She knew that there was no way that those puny Geodewings had a chance against her in the battle that was about to ocour.
"Murk," she said, "Send Conch to my throne room. Tell him that Operation DNA is about to begin.
