Dragonslayer part 2... what happened after?

I was kinda curious what happened with Wren, Sky, Undauntable and the Invincible Lord after the epilogue of Dragonslayer, so I wrote this. I only wrote chapter one rn, and its kinda long, so while working on the others, I'll try to make em shorter (if people like this enough for me to make others). Enjoy! Btw, sorry ab typos or anything, I really don't feel like rereading this for the third time today just to find the typos lol. Feedback is appreciated :)
== Chapter 1 ==
It had been nearly four months. Four months since Wren met Ivy and saw Leaf and the rest of her family for the first time in years. Four months since she had exposed the dragonmancers and helped Ivy to reveal her dad’s secrets in order to get a new leader of Valor. Four months after she met Murderbasket, Rose, killed General Sandstorm and helped Sky escape from the sand dragon (or SandWings, as Sky called them,) palace. 
Life had been good so far. She stayed with Ivy and Leaf for a while to try and help them find The Golden Dragon, but Wren didn’t want to stay long. Despite them being her brother and friend, Wren still wasn’t used to loads of human interaction, and sometimes felt better being alone, or with Sky. Wren still hadn’t gotten word if Leaf and Ivy had officially found The Golden Dragon, but Wren assumed that even if they did, it would be hard to communicate with or even get the attention of her. Wren wasn't sure if non-Sky-dragons were able to recognize and tell humans apart.
She and Sky had explored more of Pyrriah to finish their map, which was still looking beautiful, but times five by the time it would be done. They avoided the dragon city which Sky had gotten captured in (which she later found out was called the Scorpion Den), and the two had even gone as far north as the Ice Kingdom.
The map was nearly finished by this point, but Wren decided that she and Sky would take a small break to go back to the mountains, where they both felt safest. The night they arrived at the mountains, Sky and Wren found themselves a nice place to sleep for the night, found a bit of food, and then rested.
I wish I had something to read. Wren thought to herself. Even in the dim light of this fire, a book would be quite interesting right now, but I’ve already traded away even the books that I’ve already read. Wren wondered where she could get some new books. She obviously wasn’t going back so Talisman, especially with how far away it is, and despite how close Valor is, she wasn’t sure whether she’d be welcome back, especially with Sky. What other human civilization nearby could she go to?
The Indestructible City.
No. She pushed the thought away. I’m still mad at Undauntable… right? This made Wren unsure of herself. No. I’m still mad at him. I am definitely NOT going there.
But the books- Her mind went. Wren let out a sigh.
“What’s wrong?” Sky asked.
“Oh, uh… nothing,” Wren replied.
“I know that sigh, Wren. It's the sigh you do when something is wrong or you don’t know what to do.” Sky said to her. “Please just tell me what's bothering you.”
“FIIIIINEEE. I want a book to read. I’m bored, I’ve already traded away the books I’ve read so rereading isn’t an option, and the only place that I can go to get at least one new book is the Indestructible City but I am NOT going there.” Wren finally told him.
“Why?” Sky asked again.
Oh yeah, I never told him what happened between me and Undauntable last time. “Uh… Undauntable… proposed to me and got me generally very annoyed with him. If I go back, he’s gonna magically appear and start begging for another one of your baby scales which I am DEFINITELY NOT GIVING HIM because I am STILL MAD. I don’t know if there’s some way to get there without him seeing me but even if I can, I still need the money.” Wren admitted.
“Well even without the money, you could probably still go back. You might be able to avoid Undauntable and see if someone else would be willing to trade the scales for some money.” Sky offered. He moved closer to Wren so that she could lie on his back.
“Maybe…” Wren thought about this for a moment. It could work. I don’t know how he finds out whenever I’m there but maybe I could go some other route to get to the line so that he won’t see me. Then I could also scout him out and if he isn’t just waiting for me then I can show myself a bit more. I won’t need to hide in one part of the line. “That could work. I would probably just have to get to the line some other way because I think that Undauntable probably finds out that I’m arriving by looking through a window. I could leave the forest from the opposite side of the city's walls and he won’t see me. Yes… PERFECT FOOLPROOF PLAN! I’ll go tomorrow.” Wren looked up at Sky. He nodded to her plan in approval.

The next day, Wren and Sky found a good spot for Sky to wait while Wren went to the city. “Stay here, and stay safe. We’ve never been to this valley before so just… practice flying a little or watch snails or something. Do NOT go flying off somewhere where you might get lost. Just stay within an area where you can still see the fire I set up. If I’m not back by dark… don’t go to the city. They’ll probably kill you and that won’t be any use to me. Go find Leaf or Ivy or even Rowan. Got it?”
Sky looked amused. “You normally don’t get this worried when you leave. It's just ‘Stay here, don’t leave and don’t die. DO NOT DIE OR ELSE.’ Then I’ll say, ‘OK, but ‘stay here’ and ‘don’t leave’ are the same thing.’ And you go all-”
“OK, I get it, but please just… be careful. I’m going to a new part of the city and I won’t have Undauntable with me to shoo off potential annoyances. Who KNOWS what could happen in a different part of the line. Stay safe. Got it?” Wren asked.
Sky nodded.
“Alright. Bye.” And Wren was on her way. She and Sky had scouted out the area around the city the night before to find the best valley and path to get to the city. Wren walked through the forest, looking around at the unfamiliar trees. I might have to get used to this path if I decide that I still don’t want to see Undauntable. Wren thought. The path wasn’t all bad. There were more flowers and the trees weren’t so close together that you could barely figure out what direction to go. Finally, Wren emerged from the trees. She expected the line to look different from this angle, but it was practically identical. Time to see if anyone wants a weird, unnaturally pale orange dragon scale. And so she began.
It took a while to find someone (or some families) that looked approachable enough, and even more time to find some people who believed that Wren’s scale was actually real and was willing to trade for it. She finally managed to get what she thought was enough money, but in case it wasn’t, Wren packed an extra scale to be safe. After Wren got the money, she started wandering around. Maybe I should try and find out if Undauntable is in the line or not. Then I won’t need to worry so much or be super careful if he’s not here.
Wren decided to disguise herself first. She went and found someone selling a cloak with a hood so that she couldn’t be easily identified, and then was on her way, though still looking out for sellers who might have things she wanted. Wren did find some people with things she wanted. A book here, two more there, and one person had a “bundle” (as he called it) of clothes (that just happened to fit Wren’s size) for sale where it was cheaper to buy the entire “bundle” than to buy the same number of clothing items not in a bundle. So, Wren bought it. It got to a point where Wren wondered if she should keep looking for Undauntable or just to leave.
Wren was just about to start looking a bit further to Undauntables place where he usually is in line, when she heard something.
“OI!” A man shouted from behind her. Wren whipped around to see who it was. Oh, not Undauntable. Wren let out a sigh of relief.
“Yeah! You there… girl.” The man said as he looked at her.
“What do you want?” Wren asked. She just wanted to be left alone, no interruptions during her almost-perfect-not-finding-Undauntable quest.
“What were you just holdin’ a minute ago when you passed ‘ere?” He asked, looking at her hands.
Oh. Wren realized. He’s talking about Sky’s other scale I was just holding a minute ago. “Uh.. umm-” The man cut her off.
“It was a scale, wan’nit ma’am?”
Good luck getting yourself outta this one, Wren. “Uhm… possibly…?”
“Would you mind sellin’ it to me? I got a bet with some boy’s. We gonna see who gonna find the coolest item before next week. That’s definitely win, plus it's cool. I got a buncha cool things if you want, or just money. I win plenty ‘o bets, so I got the dough.” The guy explained. As he told her he could give her money, he suddenly pulled out a sack full of money.
“Ooooo,” Wren said as she looked at the contents of the bag.
“I’ll obviously give ya more, cousin, considerin’ how the scale looks. Too pale to be a sky or swamp dragon, but too orange to be a sand dragons scale. Lemme know what ya might be wantin’ and I’ll give that to ya too.”
“Do you have any… books?” Wren asked. “Or berries or fruit?”
The guy barked a laugh. “Of course I do! Lookie here.” He picked up another sack, pulled out a few things then handed the sack to her. “Take the whole thing, for all I care! And the money! I got a whole bunch more waitin’ for me inside the city. I also know a guy who sells a buncha food, I can tell you about him and stop by there and get all the fruit you're wantin’ cousin.”
“Wow uh… okay.” Wren said. She wasn’t sure it’d be the best idea to take this big of a bag of books along with her across the continent, but at the same time, she thought that it wouldn’t matter if she wasn’t coming back to the Indestructible City for a while. “Yeah… I’ll take it.”
The man told her who his friend was who sold the fruit and where in line he was, so Wren found him, got a bunch of exotic fruits that she’d never seen (the guy said that they were from the rainforest, so she and Sky might need to stop by there someday if they liked this fruit), and then she was on her way back to Sky.
Subconsciously, Wren left the way that she always did when she met up with Undauntable. Wren had already been closer to Sky than not when she realized her mistake, but she looked around and didn’t see anyone following her, so she shrugged and continued. It was slightly confusing to get back to Sky. She wandered to the other side of the forest, remembering that she wasn’t going to her normal valley, then she walked the whole what felt like the perimeter of the forest five times, looking at every valley or orange looking thing to see if it was correct. Finally, it was.
“You're back!” Sky said as he bounded over to her. “I was beginning to get worried because the sun was starting to set and you still weren’t back but now you are and I don’t need to worry and YAY YOU'RE BACK WOOHOO!”
“I missed you,” Wren said. “Though I did bring back a little surprise!” As Wren reached for the bag with the fruit, Sky looked a bit shocked. “What's the matter?”
“Oh nothing, you’ve just never really surprised me, besides giving me an extra minute to watch a snail or something.”
Wren giggled. “Here.” She passed him a mango.
“WOAH THIS LOOKS COOL! AND IT SMELLS GOOD TOO! Can I eat it?”
“Help yourself.”
Sky began eating the mango, his expression a mix of “oh this is good” and “hmmm” and “not sure how I feel about this” oh and also “THIS IS VERY TASTY.” Wren laughed again and began to eat some of the mysterious fruit herself.
After they ate, Wren lied down to sleep along with Sky. She was just about to drift off when she heard a familiar voice.
“Wren?”
