"Sunny!" Forseer growled, barely able to contain her anger. Some creepy thing was trying to get an enchanted scroll, yet Sunny didn't say a thing?

"Yes?" Sunny said, turning from Moonwatcher's side. Moonwatcher had gone eerily quiet, and as much as Forseer envied her, Forseer was really worried about her.

"What does the magic scroll do? What's that thing that's attacking Moonwatcher, and why does he want the scroll? And why haven't you even TOLD US ABOUT IT?" Forseer demanded. Sunny's eyes widened.

"Well – um, y-you see…the magic scroll is a vessel of animus power. Write a spell on it, and the spell will work. As for…the other thing…I'm not really supposed to tell the students. It might cause unneeded panic. Once we find a solution to this problem, we'll tell you what it was, okay?" Sunny whispered. Oh, I think panic would be necessary! Forseer thought angrily.

"So you're just going to pretend that nothing is wrong? SERIOUSLY? You know what? I'm going to find out everything. And I'm going to tell EVERYONE. EVERYONE! Don't you understand? Can't you think for yourself for once? Don't you realize that you're the sole heir to the SandWing throne? YOU BETTER START ACTING LIKE IT!" Forseer yelled, shoving past Sunny towards Moonwatcher. This was almost as bad as not knowing the NightWing secrets for YEARS, even though she obviously could keep them. But she was stronger now. She wouldn't take no for an answer.

"I don't think a six year old who spent five years on an island in the middle of nowhere would know anything about this. About me. About who I am. Also, I am a co-owner of this school. I can get you expelled. And I don't think Queen Glory would like that. So DO NOT SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Sunny roared, her eyes suggesting that Forseer had hit a sensitive spot. Forseer ran out of the cavern. I can't go back to the rainforest, now that I've tasted freedom! She thought anxiously. No. If I'm expelled, I won't go back to the rainforest. I'll go help Fiercetee – no, she hates me. I'll live alone on the volcano. I'll go see if there really is a lost continent. I'll do SOMETHING!

Crimson shot Forseer a glare as she came within sight of her clawmate.

"I heard you two from the underground lake. Could you at least try to be nicer to Sunny? If you get expelled, you won't be able to investigate." Crimson snapped. Forseer snorted, but did not reply.

"If anything, Sunny's answer made things way more difficult. Anyone could be posing as Blister. However, I do have a few ideas of who it might be. Cobra obviously knows something about this, and I saw Fearless disappear into the shadows around -," Crimson began.

"My sister would NEVER do such a thing!" Forseer exclaimed, internally doubting her words.

"Yeah right. Blister was an ally of your tribe before she died, remember? She was going to help you drive out the RainWings. Why wouldn't Fearless want to bring back the old alliance? For that matter, why wouldn't you?"

Suddenly, a peal of laughter could be heard right behind Forseer. She turned around to see Gull, a smile on his face.

"This is literally the WORST investigation team I've ever seen. The ABSOLUTE WORST. How can you two be allies if you argue at every step you take?" Gull declared. Growling, Crimson shot a blast of fire at him, but he easily dodged.

"Now, I'm not just here to laugh at you. I'm here to offer my help. Why don't we turn this duo into a trio?" Gull offered. "I was a spy during the war. I know what I'm doing, but frankly, you two don't. I could hear you arguing from a mile away, and I think Cobra is already getting a little suspicious. I could help with that." Forseer couldn't help feeling proud of herself for having known that Gull was a spy. Obviously, a spy would have some skills that she and Crimson lacked…so Gull's offer was a good one.

"Okay." Forseer said.

"No way!" Crimson cried at the same time. The two dragonets faced each other, smoke coming out of their snouts, until a crashing noise near the mouth of the cave startled them. Forseer dashed toward the sound of the noise, Crimson and Gull right behind her.

A pale green RainWing – Mangrove - and a pale SandWing lay on the ground, gasping for breath. Both looked to be suffering from massive injuries. After a few seconds, the SandWing rose to his feet, a haunted look in his eyes.

"I need to talk to Sunny immediately." He growled. Gull instantly flew off.

"What happened?" Forseer asked. Mangrove lifted his head off of the ground.

"It was a joint attack on both the RainWings and the SandWings." He groaned. "There were so many of them…mostly SandWings, but a few MudWings, SeaWings, and NightWings came too. We were unprepared and overwhelmed."

"And then they killed her."

Forseer whipped around at the SandWing's remark.

"They killed Queen Thorn. We have come to find Queen Sunny."
