Basalt had reached the Great Cave. One of the guards told him Axel had come, but had left with Advisor Sterling. With a sigh, he flew off again. In the direction that the guard said they’d flown. “We’re going to hopefully only one more place today.” Basalt told Ace, who had busied himself with opening and eating the clam.
Onyx walked out of the cave. She spotted three dragons flying toward her on the horizon, and made for the portal Apollyon opened for her. The sight that greeted her was incredible. Hundreds and hundreds of cloned soldiers milled about at the foot of the mountain, awaiting orders. She looked closely, wait- the clones were supposed to be of Flint! Not- whoever the heck this was? Quickly, she flew down as spotted a cluster of Flint clones. It took a second, but she spotted the real Flint. She wasn’t sure how she could tell, there was just.. a bit more life in him than the others. ‘And a bit better looks!’ Her mind said. ‘Shush, mind! That’s- thats. Crazy.’ “Flint!” She called as she swooped down. “Who are these clones? They look nothing like you!”
Tide finished her sandwich. “All right, I’m done.” She told them. “Are we going to Enfernae now?” She jumped with excitement as Starshine and Whisp finished their food.
Zephyr watched the three dragon’s amazed faces as she revealed the Presence Crystals. “One for Mao, one for Rowan, and one for Monarche Vixen- with an extra.” She said as she gave the red dragon two crystals. “I already have my own.”
