Chapter Text
Sunny was gone.
The room was disheveled. Claw marks tore through stone walls and wooden shelves. A pile of ashes sat where scrolls had once been. There had been a struggle.
A few crimson scales were scattered on the ground.
“A Skywing did this!” roared Tsunami, smacking the scales around with her tail. “Sunny is gone! I’m gonna find the culprit and tear her to pieces!”
“It’s all my fault,” Clay sighed. His wings drooped as he felt over the scratches in a wall. “She’s gone, all because I wasn’t there to protect her…”
“Clay, don’t be so hard on yourself. There was no way we could know,” Starflight said. “If it’s anyone’s fault, it’s mine for not thinking this would happen.” He nearly walked in Clay before he realized he was there.
“STOP MOPING! I’M GOING AFTER THEM!” Tsunami shoved Clay and Starflight aside and ran down the halls, nearly barreling over Webs and a Rainwing.
After he regained his balance, Clay shot after her. “WAIT! What about the other dragonets!” the Mudwing called frantically.
“Webs can take care of the school! Are you gonna help me find Sunny or not!” Tsunami hissed back as they barreled out to the main entrance.
Clay paused. He watched Tsunami shoot in the air and circle, waiting. He braced himself, then leaped up into the air, coming beside the Seawing. “Where could they have taken her?” Clay asked Tsunami.
“...I have no idea…”
They looked at each other for a long moment.
Clay turned toward the east. “We should tell Glory. She’d be able to get others to help us.”
“I hate to admit it, but I agree.”
