Because there we're still some shadow-warriors left, princess Amber and prince Red held a meeting with the leaders of the four dragon villages to discuss the shadow-warrior threat. A dragon named Corey was running through the forest and soon he arrived at the silver meadow, where the leader of the earth village Soren and his wife, Star we're on vacation. He told them about the meeting in the dragon kingdom and Soren and Star left silver meadow to go to the meeting. On the way, Soren asked Corey to return back to the earth village and wait for them there. At the palace, a guard escorted them to the throne room. Princess Amber welcomed them all and started the meeting. She told them her plan to heal the shadow-warriors. The leader of the electric-village, Kaisara pointed out that Amber didn't have her power necklace anymore, that was the source of her healing powers. Amber explained that her necklace was destroyed after she defeated Flames and now she could harness her healing power without it. After agreeing on the plan, Amber asked the captain of the royal guard to send five guard member's with each of the village leaders and they returned home. Five months later, the threat of the shadow-warriors was finally over. Many royal guard member's lost they're lives protecting the dragon villages and we're remembered by Amber, who had become queen. One day, Soren was watching children playing outside and told Star he wanted a child too. Star told him that they we're already having a child, since she was pregnant. Time went fast and Soren continued his village leader duties and when he was free, he spend it with Star, who's egg was due any day. Soon, Star layed one egg and after a while it hatched into a small green-scaled dragoness. Soren asked what they should name her and Star pointed out that she was named after her markings and since they're daughter had the same markings as Star, they decided to name her Starlight. A few year's later, Soren and Star decided to take Starlight to the silver meadow and Soren asked Zakariya to take care of his leader duties while they we're gone. As they arrived at the silver meadow, Starlight went exploring. She found some hot springs and then heard noises coming from behind some cliffs and went to see. Starlight saw the ocean. She was amazed how big it was and played in the water for hours. Suddenly a growling stomach told Starlight to return to her parents and it was also starting to get dark. Starlight left the beach and ran back to the silver meadow. She called her parents, but didn't see them anywhere. Then, she saw her mother laying motionless in the ground and ran to her side. She was badly hurt and her eyes we're classy. She was dead. Starlight cried for her mom and then, she smelled something and found her father's necklace on the ground, but her father wasn't there. Then, she heard something in the pushes and went to see thinking it was her dad. The dragon turned towards her and Starlight realized that it wasn't her dad at all. The dragon charged at her and she ran away screaming. Starlight ran into the woods and ran far, until she fell off a cliff and rolled all the way down, stopping at a tree and looses consciousness. When she wakes up, Starlight was in a den with a purple-scaled female. Starlight asked what happened and the dragoness told her that her son's found her under a tree and brought her there. Pretty soon, the dragoness' son's came in and introduced themselves as Ash and Blue and the purple-scaled dragoness as Cyndra. Leaf asked Starlight what happened to her and Starlight explained the best she could and as she finished, Cyndra comforted her. Suddenly, Starlight realized her father's necklace was missing and panicked.  Cyndra calmed her and showed her that the necklace was there and gave it to her. She placed it on Starlight's neck and Blue pointed out it was too big for her and Ash smacked him, making Starlight laughed. Cyndra and Leaf decided Starlight should stay with them and Starlight agreed and introduced herself. A year later, Starlight visited the earth village with Leaf, Ash and Blue and she felt like the village seemed familiar somehow. Ash asked her if everything was okay and Starlight was about to answer him, when Zakariya came and recognized Starlight. Starlight asked did she know him, and Zakariya told her that he knew her and her parent's. Leaf introduced himself as Starlight's caretaker and Zakariya was confused. Leaf explained everything and Zakariya took them to the building at the center of the village and welcomed Starlight home, which made Starlight confused. Zakariya explained that Starlight father was the leader of the village and he would have wanted Starlight as his follower. Starlight realized that she has to stay there and asked if Leaf, ash and Blue we're to stay there too, but they're home was in the forest. Starlight decided to stay and later at the village gates she said her goodbye's and Leaf and Ash promised to visit her. Blue said he won't miss her and Ash smacked him on the head again, making Starlight smile as she watched them leave. Before they went, Starlight said to Ash she hoped they can play soon and Ash agreed with her. Then, his father called him and Ash had to leave. As Starlight watched her foster-family leave, the only thing in her mind was Ash. During Starlight's time in the earth village, she learned more about her parents and heritage. 12 year's later, Ash was sitting at the edge of a lake, when a familiar green-scaled dragoness came and asked if he remembered her. After a moment, Ash recognized Starlight. They walked together for many minutes, talking about what had happened the past 12 years. Ash told her how Blue had gotten his head stuck in a tree trying to hunt a squirrel and it made Starlight laugh. After a while, Ash had to return home and he asked if they could see tomorrow too and Starlight nodded happily. Watching him leave made Starlight feel the same longing pain she felt every time she had to say goodbye to Ash and she knew what it was. Love. Starlight wondered if Ash felt the same and returned back to the village. For the following weeks, Starlight visited Ash more often and one day, she decided to tell Ash she loved him. Starlight waited for Ash a long time, wondering if he was just running late. Hours passed and Starlight was still waiting. She had fallen asleep waiting and woke up, when she heard rustling in the bushes. She heard a voice and saw Ash coming from the bushes talking with someone. At first Starlight thought it was Blue, but soon she realized it was a girl. Starlight called Ash and he turned surprised to look at her. He was surprised to see her there, even thought Starlight comes there everyday. Ash tells Starlight he was with Ember today and Starlight asked him why. Ash didn't answer, but Ember said hello and introduced herself. Starlight glared at Ember and ignored her asking Ash to go for a walk with her and Ash backed away looking at the girls. Starlight knew Ash was going to choose to be with her, but Ash chose to spend the day with Ember instead. It shocked Starlight and watching Ember walk beside him made her angry. Ash explained that he liked spending time with her and he liked her like a sister and that made Starlight even more mad. Ember asked Ash if everything was okay and he said it was. They started to leave and Ash told Starlight hell visit her in the village soon. Starlight wiped her tears away and smiled at him, before watching him leave. Starlight returned home and Zakariya asked where she had been, but Starlight ignored him and walked to her room. Later, she layed in her bed, trying to figure out why Ash would be with any other female, except her. She decided that when Ash comes there, she would show him how much he means to her. In her dreams Starlight heard a voice talking to her. It said that Ash didn't care about her and Starlight told the voice, it was wrong. The voice didn't give up. It told Starlight that Ash loved Ember more than her and he had even called her sister and that he really hated her and that's when Starlight woke up. She wondered if the voice was speaking the truth, but shook her head and refused to believe it. Later, Ash came to the village as Starlight waited for him at the gates. She was happy that he came and together they walked over to the house, where Starlight lived with Zakariya. They talked all day and when it was time for Ash to leave, Starlight suggested he spend the night there. Zakariya wasn't home and Starlight was lonely. Ash could keep her company. After hesitating a moment Ash agreed and spend the night there with Starlight. The next morning, when Starlight woke up Ash was already leaving. She joined him and offered to take him home. They walked outside the village and when they arrived at Ash's home, Ash told Starlight she should return, but Starlight didn't want to go. Then, Ember arrived and angry, Starlight told her to leave, cause Ash was with her now. Ember was confused and asked Ash what did she mean by it. Ash moved next to Ember passed Starlight. She thought he was going to tell her leave them alone, but instead he told her how he spend the night with Starlight and she offered to walk her home. Ember said how nice it was and asked Ash if he was ready to go and Ash agreed. before they could leave Ash turned toward Starlight and thanked her. Starlight stopped him as he was leaving, asking why he wasn't going to be with her and Ash told her he had promised to be with Ember. Starlight snapped and leaped on Ember, pushing her on the ground. Starlight growled at her, saying that Ash was hers. She clawed Ember's stomach and scared, Ash pulled Starlight away from Ember and asked her if she was okay. After, Ash had made sure that Ember was okay, he turned to Starlight asking what was wrong with her. Starlight argued that she was just showing her that Ash belonged to her. Ash stared at Starlight with shock and told her that he hated dragons, who only think about themselves. Starlight gasped. Ash had said exactly what the voice in her dream had said. Ash helped Ember up and let her lean on him. Starlight didn't understand why Ash was with Ember and not her. She couldn't stand being there so she ran away. Ash tried to call her, but Starlight was already too far to hear him. Ash was upset and regretted what he had said and wanted to speak with Starlight. Ember assured him that Starlight will be fine and Ash agreed with her. Starlight ran all the way back to the earth village. She ran passed Zakariya, not noticing him and layed on her bed, crying. Soon, she cried herself to sleep and in her dreams, Starlight heard the voice again. It told her that it had been right about Ash. Starlight stayed silent and the voice realized that the problem was Ember. Hearing her name made Starlight snap. She thought it was not fair that Ash had chosen to be with a female he had known only a few days, instead of a female he had known for years. The voice told Starlight he had a solution for her and Starlight told it, she would do anything to have Ash. The voice told Starlight that all she had to do is have a child with Ash and then, he'll be all hers. She asked how can she have a child with someone, who hates her and the voice had a solution for that too. It told her about a special plant, that makes everyone who smelled it, do anything they are told. Starlight woke up and left to find the plant right away. Soon, she found the plant she needed. A pretty white flower. Starlight picked one up, careful not to smell it and left. Starlight walked through the forest all the way to Ash's home. She saw Blue leave the den and once he was gone, Starlight called Ash out wanting to speak with him. Ash came out and Starlight told him how sorry she was and gave him a flower as a symbol of her apology. Ash smelled it and felt weird. Ash asked Starlight what he can do for her and Starlight called him inside the den, and he followed. Two months later, Starlight was laying on her bed. Her stomach had rounded up with the egg she was carrying. She spoke to her belly, saying that soon it's father will be all hers and no one will ever take him away from her again.
