==Description on back of cover==
===Not everything is always as it seems...===
Actias has had a somewhat normal life. For years, he has had no danger for miles near his home in Sun Tree. He has never wanted to leave the safety of his home city, Sun Tree, It’s a good thing he doesn’t want to go into the unknown outside world, outside the walls its just infinite deadly ocean in all directions. Life was kind of… nice, in a strange way. Soon, he leaves the safety of Sun Tree, and finds something he may not be ready for. 
While trying to discover the outside world, a mix of natural disaster and pure chaos, gives him a choice. 
Die, or head out into the unknown. 
==Prologue==
Polaris was definitely in a very bad situation right now. Her little sister Clearsight, was currently battling her evil-dictator-boyfriend. Yeah that’s a completely normal thing to say. She thought. Polaris insisted on helping, but instead she was hiding under a dining table instead. Yay. she looked back at Clearight, as she put the bracelet on Darkstalker. Polaris remembered when she was a dragonet, Her and Darkstalker were best friends. They would tie bracelets out of flowers and vines, roll down hills, and build wooden structures. The treehouse! Polaris thought, I need to grab something from there. 
= = = 
The plan Polaris made with Clearsight was instantly leave the minute he was trapped underground. They would fly together for 2 days, and then stop at Sakura Island. Clearsight would continue flying west to the lost continent, and Polaris would fly southwest to survey the southern hemisphere, where no dragon has gone before. Her logic was that if the world is round, and Pyrrhia and The Lost Continent were in the northern half, then... What is in the southern half? Those were the kind of questions she thought about. Polaris looked up at the oak tree in front of her, seeing the cream colored birch treehouse. She quickly ran up the tree, climbing into the treehouse. It was strange, seeing it with nobody inside. It had always been so vibrant, and lit up with bright blue and orange flower chains streching from wall to wall. Now it was so desolate, it gave off a strange haunted vibe. Okay, bracelet, bracelet... Polaris thought as she rummaged throught the vine woven bins. When she was still friends with Darkstalker, he had given her an amber bracelet, with tiny flowers encased inside. At last, she found it and ran to Obsidian beach. Polaris and Clearsight had decided after Darkstalker was under agate mountain. When Her twin sister arrived she and Polaris would leave pyrrhia. Just 5 minutes until I leave pyrrhia forever.

She thought. There were dragonets playing on the beach, rushing into the water on what seemed to be little floating rafts which they rode into the waves and back to the shore, laughing with their friends the whole time. “Must be recess.” She said. “Hope they’re having fun.” “Yeah. They definitely are” Clearsight said. Polaris, startled, stumbled onto the sand. Her sister could barely hold in a laugh. “Anyways, ready to leave?” “Not mentally, but yeah. I’m ready to go to the distant lands. Well, at least you are. I’m just going to a few islands.” Polaris replied. “I don’t think so. I- oh my.” Her twin said “Yeah... you are not just going to a few islands.” “What do you mean...” She questioned. “You- you’ll find out later.” Clearsight said. “Let’s go, those dragons need me.” Polaris gave a running start on the beach, and began to fly into the unknown.

PART 1: THE CLOUD OF IGNORANCE
=== Chapter 1: The Wall ===
SOL TREE: 4:06 PM
Actias woke up to a small earthquake. The small booming noise echoed throughout the halls of Maraschino Academy. “Please turn to page 41.” His teacher, Candle, said with a glare at his friend Sapling. Sometimes he wondered how his classmatss lives worked. Why is the quiet Sunwing next to me drawing scavengers in her schoolwork? He thought, confused. Sapling slid a note to him and tapped it quietly.
“MEET AT THE WESTERN STATION TOMORROW MORNING”
“Alright class. I am going to pass out some quizzes to you, the city has
requested.”
They began passing a small bundle of papers around, each containing a diagram of the nine cities. In the middle and outside of the map, it read in bold letters “DANGEROUS DESERT”. He used to think about what the outside looked like, maybe it was actually a large forest, like the legends, or the park in the middle of Winter Tree.

SOL TREE: 8:12 AM
The sun was rising, you could see the rays through the stone gaps on the ceiling of Actias’s dorm. “Hey!” His roomate, Sakura, said with a grin on her face as she put her supply box on the table. “Do you ever think about us?” Actias questioned “the cities, do you ever think there could be another group of tribes and cities somewhere in the desert, far away? There could be two dragons in a dorm just like this, having this exact same coversation, but talking about us instead of them?” “Maybe, maybe one of them forgot the others birthday. Oh wait, that just happened today.” She said sarcastically. “No, i didnt have a birthday today, im just joking with you.” They both giggled. Another small earthquake. The supply box, now empty, fell off the table. “Anyways, im going to the park with my friends, i was wondering if you want to come?” Sakura asked. “Alright, lets go!”
= = =
SOL TREE: 12:56 PM
The trees towered around them, along with the vines and bushes. The park was the only place in the world where you could see these plants. “The breeze feels nice.” Sakura said “Yeah-“
Everything began shaking.
“GET DOWN!” Actias yelled as loud as he could. His voice was drowned out by the sound of collapsing rooms, broken windows, things falling, shattering, the screaming of terrified young dragonets, and alarms.
= = =
SOL TREE: 1:42 PM
A giant crack ran through the middle of the city. It was a few feet deep, there was dust and smoke everywhere. Dragons began coming out of their houses and schools, only to see the devestation of the city. “Three moons.” Sapling said “It doesnt seem like anyone died, but the damage is worse than that.” He said. 
=== Chapter 2: The Lost Continent ===
WAKE UP.
WHO IS THIS DRAGON?
WHERE ARE WE
Actias could hear voices in his head. He could just see black.
His eyes were closed.
Open… AH!
The flash of light from the world hit him like a explosion.
”AH!” one of the dragons yelled. “Sundew NO-“ another dragon sai-
OW! Something hit him in the face. He wanted to ask ”where am i?” But it came out as “Whdoush aaan e?” A wave hit him again. A booming noise in his head. He sat up. “Where am i? He asked again, normally this time. “What are you talking about? What are you?” A male voice said behind him. Actias tuned around, to look at the dragon. The dragon had 2 circular wings, with blue and purple scales. There were 2 more dragons next to him, one with leaf-like green scales, and a dragon with thin drop-like wings, like a bee. The green dragon was pointing a sharp stick at him. “What are you!?!” It interrogated. “I- uh- a BayWing?” He asked “I should be asking what you are.” The green dragon hit him in the wing with the stick. “OW!” He screamed. The yellow dragon had a tiny dragonet, maybe a few days old at the most. The dragonet was trying to wiggle out of the Yellow Dragons grasp. “Ha O!” The dragonet protested. It escaped and quickly ran to Actias.
= = =
The dragonet ran up his tail like it was a ramp, and began running around his arm like it was a playground. His scales turned deep red. “Three moons stop!” “Col o darg!” The tiny dragonet happily yelled. “Alright bumblebee thats enough!” The yellow dragon laughed as she walked over. They shook talons. “Cricket.” The yellow dragon said “Sorry about that, bumblebee gets exited about everything.” The dragon explained. “Actias.” He said as he pulled a thermaberry out of his pouch. “This should calm her down.” Cricket gave Bumblebee the large berry. Bumblebee ran around with the berry, nibbling on it. “Sundew.” The green dragon said, calmed down “Welcome to Dragonfly Bay.” So thats where i am. He thought. “Three moons, what did you give her?!? Shes asleep already!” The blue dragon said. “Its called a Thermaberry, it creates warmth so it gives dragons a warm comfy feeling when eaten. Its completely healthy.” He Explained.
= = =
They all sat in the cave together, as Actias explained all about the continent of Kinglet, how the government worked, the local fruits, and other things. Bumblebee slept quietly next to Sundew. “Do any of you know how i got here?” Actias asked. “You washed up here 3 days ago, you came across the ocean from the south. In the direction of that black cloud.”
what?
What?
WHAT?
WHAT?
WHAT THE FU-
=== Chapter 3 ===
”Hey! Pssst” Sakura whispered “Come with me! I found something.” Actias woke up and got out of bed, and walked to the door to meet Sakura. “Alright, ill come.” He said in a low voice, still waking up.
20 minutes later…
Actias saw the small tunnel in the wall, buried beneath leaves. “Soo… are we supposed to report this or what?” “No! I went through it earlier and- You’ll see,” Sakura began climbing into the tunnel, and reached out a claw to him. Actias took a deep breath, and head outside the walls for the first time in generations.
A small sunbeam reached through the leaves of the tree, and shined down to Actias’s face. “This isnt wasteland, THIS IS FOREST!” It took him a few minutes to process. “I- i can- i cant belive this.” A booming noise played through his head again. “This is insane.” Sakura told him. “Pretty obvious.” He said, sarcastically. “Come on, follow me!” Sakura said.
Sakura lead Actias to a beach. Three moons. This blue area must go on for miles.
