Peril edged a little closer and peered at. Maybe he hadn't entirely thought through his choice of hero. An image of tiny, rainbow-colored Kinkajou lobbing fruit at Darkstalker popped into Turtle's head. "To be invulnerable to pineapples?" Kinkajou asked, and burst into giggles. I think his snout is enchanted," Turtle pointed out. You can be the ideas dragon and I can be the WHAM BAM SHOVE A PINEAPPLE UP SNOUT dragon!" "OOOOOOOO," Kinkajou said, her eyes shining. 'The other half is big, orange, and grumpy-looking'" 'You've just described fifty percent of all SkyWings,' said the MudWing sitting on top of Turtle. “Forgive me for mentioning this,” Turtle said, “but I’m getting the impression that you’re not much of a planner.” What did she think would be different now? She had searched for Scarlet for months after releasing her from Burn’s weirdling tower, with no success. “Oh.” Peril did a looping flip in the sky. I mean, where are we going to kill Queen Scarlet? How do we even start looking for her? Or my sister?” I’m pretty sure you were there, because I was like, ‘you’re not coming with me,’ and you were all, ‘how are you going to stop me?’ and I was all, ‘I can think of a pretty good way,’ and you were like, ‘by setting me on fire? That sounds like cutting off your tail to spite your wings,’ and I was like, ‘I could cut off YOUR tail,’ and you were all, ‘let’s just go before Ruby comes back -’ ” “Remember? There was a whole conversation a few hours ago. She twisted in midair to give him an incredulous look. “Where are we going?” Turtle called from behind her. “RrrrrrrEEEally?” she tried, infusing the word with as much enthusiastic curiosity as she could.

Peril paused, trying to figure out how to say what she wanted to say without the skeptical tone. “Just because I don’t particularly like danger or uncertainty or … or exercise … doesn’t mean I couldn’t be useful in a fight.” “I do not APPRECIATE your skeptical tone,” he said, sounding briefly like an actual prince. “Are you crazy? That would be even worse! What if you’re right and they're dead and I could have saved them?”

made an odd hiccuping noise and ducked his head. "I'm Queen Scarlet's notorious death monster." Now that was the kind of thought she probably shouldn't share with Clay. Then she could watch them burn between her claws. What she should do was wrap her wings around the SkyWings who were being mean to him. Peril wanted to burst into the cave and wrap her wings around him. "Didn't you say you're related to someone important?" "We don't live in igloos," Winter said, looking down his nose at Qibli. "Let me guess, all your igloos look exactly the same?" Qibli asked. "Okay then, I'll wait another two thousand years to make jokes about my evilness." The only dragon who cares if you live or die." "It's true, I did have to fight my way past a whole pack of volunteers," mused mockingly. What can you do again? Sit in the dark, is that it? Guess what, I can do that too." Inky black spilled across her scales and she looked down her snout at him. "Out of the two dragons in question, the queen happens to be the one with camouflage scales who can shoot venom. "The queen can take care of herself," Glory pointed out. "Hey, I'm just making sure the queen is safe," said, spreading his wings. What else do I need to do? Oooh, maybe some more breakfast. "All right, go away," Glory said, flicking her tongue out at them.Īs soon as their tails had disappeared, Sunny turned to Clay. Like we did five minutes ago when you last explained it. "Stay camouflaged as much as you can the whole way there and then you come home. "Except we're trying to do this in a not-ending-up-dead way." "You probably just have to stand out in the open for a day and she'll land on you." " looking for you pretty seriously," Riptide said. ''I should write that down and use it on Viper.'' ''Ooh, good comeback,'' Fatespeaker said. "Glory," Tsunami interrupted with a frown. "I brought myself back! He was going to let me die!" " did nothing of the sort!" Glory flared. "Is that egg? Wow, they work fast in the Kingdom of the Sea. Would you like me to spell out ‘DRAGONETS WUZ HERE’ in giant rocks?”įor a palace surrounded by water, it was surprising how much caught on fire so quickly. “How about a trail of cow parts, too? And a map of where we’re going? Or perhaps we could set this part of the forest on fire, just to make sure everyone knows how to find us. "There's a tree," Starflight said, jumping up. "Or was I saying it to your rear end? It's easy to get the two confused." He ducked behind Clay before Tsunami could even bare her teeth at him. Tsunami whirled around to glare at Starflight, her gills pulsing.
