How his parent’s had been killed by a shadow-warrior, how Flames had taken him in, telling that it had been an accident that his parents had died, how he had met Amber and fallen in love with her, how he found out the truth about his parents death and how he had helped Amber take him down. Now, Red was looking for his two friends, he had as a kid. Leaf and Cyndra. On his journey, Red came across two dragon’s and told them about Flames defeat. After hearing that the old king and queen’s daughter was ruler now, both dragons we’re eager to meet her. Before they left, Red asked if they had seen anyone, who looked like his old friends. One of them said he saw a purple dragon in Warfang and thinking it might be Cyndra, Red left towards the dragon city.  The two dragon’s watched Red leave and the other one exclaimed that he didn’t tell him that the purple dragon he saw had been a male. Red had started flying and he flew for hours. Soon it was getting dark and Red landed, sighing that it will take him long to find Cyndra as he finally came to the city. He asked around for other dragon’s if they had seen a female purple dragon named Cyndra, but no one seemed to know anyone of that name. Red started to think that Cyndra might not be in Warfang anymore, when he heard someone familiar calling his name. Red looked and saw Leaf’s father, Arkin watching him. Red walked over to Arkin and Arkin asked how Red was there. Red was just about to explain when his stomach growled.  Arkin invited Red to come with him to have some food and Red followed him. Inside, Arkin’s home, Red met Arkin’s mate, Malika. Malika was surprised and happy to see Red again. Arkin explained that he had invited Red to have dinner with them. Malika asked Red to go see leaf, while they prepared food for them. Red walked over to another room, that Arkin had showed him was Leaf’s room. When he came to the room, he saw Leaf sitting his back on him and Red called his name. Leaf turned around and his one eye widened with surprise. Red remembered how Leaf has hurt his face, but he never realized that it had caused him to loose his eye. Leaf was happy to see Red and asked what he was doing in warfang. Red was about to tell him, when Malika called them. Red and Leaf walked out of the room and joined Leaf’s parent’s for dinner. During dinner, red told them everything that had happened the past few days. He explained some things to them and later asked about Cyndra from them. They told him that after Flames had taken Red, Cyndra took Leaf to his parent’s to help him. Cyndra told Malika and Arkin what had happened and they both we’re horrified learning that Tony and Cora had died and Red had been taken in by the King. Arkin took Cyndra back home to her parent's and they never saw her again, since they moved to Warfang shortly after. They had hoped that her family would also move to Warfang, but so far, they haven't heard from her. Later that night, Red decided to continue the search for Cyndra the next day. Red wanted to say goodbye to Leaf, but he wasn't home. He felt dissapointed that he wasn't going to see his old friend before he left, but he had to find Cyndra. As Red started to leave the the city, he heard Leaf's voice coming behind him. Turning around, he saw Leaf running towards him. Leaf told Red he wanted to come with him and Red was surprised at first but then exited to have his friend to company him and they left Warfang together. They travelled for days and on the third day, they arrived at the valley of Avalar and decided to search the valley incase Cyndra lived there. There was no sign of her, but they heard a yowl and ran to see where it had come from. They came to a river bank and looking around, they saw a young female cheetah hanging on a branch trying to fight the current of the river. Red and Leaf decided to her the female cheetah. She looked scared of the two dragons, but Red reassured her that she had nothing to fear and they wanted to help. Red grapped the female by her shirt and pulled her up from the river to dry ground. Red asked if she was okay and she replied, coughing that she was fine. Red asked her how she fell in the river and the cheetah replied embarrassed that she was watching fish swim and fell in. Red and Leaf introduced themselves and the female cheetah introduced herself as Sabina, when a voice called out for her. Another cheetah, a male was running towards them, looking angry. Sabina was happy to see him, but he jumped between Sabina and the two dragon's ready to attack them with his sword, but Sabina stopped him. After explaining what had happened, the male cheetah; Prowlus thanked Red and Leaf for saving his sister. Hopeful, Red and Leaf asked if they had seen a female purple dragon around there and Sabina told them, she had seen a family of dragons with a young purple dragon with them. Red asked them to show them the way and the cheetah's pointed away from the valley. Thanking them, Red and Leaf took flight and continued the search. They landed on another part of the forest outside Avalar and while they searched it started raining. They found a rocky wall and on it a small cap that they both could squeeze through to a cave. As Red and Leaf sat down, Red noticed that Leaf was shivering and told him that he will be right back. After a moment, Red returned with sticks in his mouth. Red blow fire on them and the flames made the cave warmer. A thud woke Red up. He was hearing someone coming in the cave, he and Leaf we're sleeping in. Leaf was still fast asleep and Red was ready to protect his halfblind friend, but when he saw, who they're visitor was, Red's eyes widened in surprise. It was Shifa, Cyndra's father. At first Shifa was wary of Red, thinking he had come to spy for Flames, but after Red told him that Flames was gone, Shifa's face changed. Leaf woke up and saw Shifa, surprised to see him. Shifa asked where Leaf's parent's we're and he replied they we're in Warfang. Leaf stomach growled and Shifa invited them to share breakfast and they went to his cave, where they met Tamara and Cyndra. Red and Leaf we're happy to see Cyndra and Shifa asked Red to continue what he had started earlier. Red told them everything and after he finished, Shifa, Tamara and Cyndra had many questions. Red told them that Amber was a fine princess and will be an even finer queen. Later that night, Cyndra invited Leaf to sleep next to her and Leaf accepted, blushing. At night, Red was watching stars outside the cave. Cyndra came out to join him and asked what was on his mind. Red explained to her that he didn't know what to do now. He had found both Leaf and Cyndra. Should he go back or stay there. Cyndra told him that he should go back and Red agreed, saying he wanted to see Amber again. Cyndra guessed that Red liked her and Red nodded. Red returned to the dragon kingdom together with Leaf, Cyndra and Cyndra's parents. They stopped at Warfang to get Leaf's parents to come too. At the palace they met with Amber, who greeted the newcomers. Red came in last, saying that Amber was doing a good job after being in charge for only a week. Amber was happy to see Red again and welcomed him home. Red was happy to see her too and also happy that his journey was finally over.
