OUTCAST

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING FROM THE TALON SAGA, ONLY MY OWN CHARACTERS AND PLOT.

Welcome back to my third chapter, if you enjoy this chapter please review otherwise I do not know if I am doing well, or vise versa.

CHAPTER THREE:

Crescent Beach

The meeting hall in which Stormgrey walked into wasn't lit by dragon fire this time. It seemed sad and lonely. Her keen eyesight made out Justice who leaned his head on a human hand, eyes concentrated on a book.

"Stormgrey." He acknowledged her without turning or looking at her.

A shiver of discomfort went over her scales before she Shifted into her human form, "Justice, I need to talk to you about something."

He blinked, eyes settling on her, "Is it urgent? I wanted to ask you something."

"Very urgent, Aura predicted it. I should be back in a couple of days if all goes well." She answered, shuffling her feet under his intense gaze, for some reason she thought his mood was because of Toran, but then she discounted that thought, he was probably worried about Cliff.

"Aura..." Jus sighed, standing up and walking over to her, "What exactly is it?"

"Apparently there are twins in a town by a beach. One has an ability." She explained, stepping backwards when he crossed into her personal space. A look of hurt crossed his face then he concealed it.

"That is urgent. Take what you need. Do you need to have anyone with you?"

"No, though Toran did volunteer. I think it might be a good way to see where his loyalties lie." Stormgrey nodded to herself, missing the look of annoyance on Jus's face.

He sighed, "Take him then."

Then the Old Soul turned around, dismissing her.

Stormgrey watched after him, then shrugged and left the dark chamber, heading towards where she spotted Toran, Shifting back to her real form and gliding across the deep hole to him. Toran saw her and grinned.

"This place is nice." He stated, gesturing to his new den, it was large and well lit, unlike where she had just met with Justice.

"It's homey." Stormgrey muttered, then cleared her throat, "Justice has given us leave to go to Crescent Beach. Which I have no idea where is."

"We are going to fly there?" Toran asked.

She nodded, "We will take backpack's for basic stuff, and stay in a hotel for accommodation. Cheap, effective and easy. I have a feeling that St. George will be there."

"Whys that?"

"Because there are two hatchlings, St. George have senses that pick up something about us dragons. The younger the easier it is for them to track. It's kind of like our abilities, only certain ones have it." Stormgrey explained, then gestured at the slowly falling sun, "We need to hop to it. Go to the nursery and ask for a backpack, it will have some stuff in it for you. Oh and tell them your human sizes." She waved to him, "I'm just heading to my den, meet me at the tunnel, human form."

"Yes ma'am." Toran saluted, chuckling at the dark look she shot him.

Then she ignored him and took off, flinging herself off the edge and catching the wind with her wings, she felt the rush of flight, relishing in the freedom. She angled herself so she flew towards her den, lightly skimming the ground, her claws rushing through water when she crossed past a lake, on the other side of this lake was a cliff side, and set into that cliff was her den, she often called it her cave since it technically was one. But since she, a dragon, resided in it, it was called a den. But she also shared it with Skyblu.

She landed on the cleft outside of the den, gazing into the brightly lit depths, fabric lined the walls from all of the world. Colourful patterns painted the ground and ceiling. At the back of the room was a huge treasure hoard, gold coins from ancient civilisations, gems and jewellery littered the pile. She had an obsession with glittery objects, like most dragons did, but shared hers with Skyblu, who added the occasional trinket every now and again.

Stormgrey revered anything from ancient era's, including books. She had a whole room dedicated to old scrolls and histories.

Shifting to her human form she packed her backpack with a few sets of clothes, cleaning necessities and her Swiss Army Knife, which she kept on her when sleeping in human form. She grabbed her disposable phone and then shrugged the backpack back on, gazing fondly at her den one last time, she Shifted back and took off, heading all the way to the other side of the valley, where Toran waited, his backpack on his leg, since he was bigger then her.

"You found the place easy enough?" Stormgrey asked, landing next to him and Shifting, he realised that he had been in dragon form and shifted with her, his Viper Suit clinging to him.

"Artemis showed me the way." He answered then grinned when she glowered.

"That damn child won't stay put." Stormgrey shook her head, "Remind me to get her something on this mission, she loves collecting things."

"Don't all dragons?" Toran grinned, "I love shiny things from different eras."

"Me too, I have a whole hoard at my den." Stormgrey said, surprised that they had that in common and that she was sharing this information with a complete stranger.

Torans wide brown eye's widened, "Really? A whole hoard." He trailed off, walking quickly after Stormgrey who's cheeks were a bright red and was almost jogging.

"Yeah, forget what I said." Stormgrey mumbled incoherently, Toran didn't pick up the words, even with his sharp hearing, but figured if he needed to hear it, he would.

Stormgrey strolled over to the other side of the tunnel, poking a head out and looking for St. George. It seemed that all was clear so she gestured for Toran to follow her out.

"So which way almighty navigator?" Stormgrey joked, already Shifting and preparing to take off.

Toran shifted as well, giving a glance to the disappearing sun then up at the night sky where stars were twinkling merrily, "I don't have an ingrained GPS Stormgrey."

She blinked, wondering if he was joking or not, "I uh, I could get one that-"

"East. We have to head east." He grinned at her, taking off.

Stormgrey instantly caught up, an unimpressed look on her face, "I should start calling you Compass from now on." She made a snapping noise with her wings and shot forwards like a rocket, Toran tried to catch up.

After hours of non stop flight Stormgrey had moved to beside the older dragon, she appeared slightly tired from trying to outrun him for so long, "How long to go?"

"We should be seeing the town shortly." Toran explained.

Stormgrey nodded her understanding, she had instantly forgotten the name of the town when her senior told her it, something Cove or something silly like that. Her mind had a hard time trying to understand why humans named their towns and cities such generic names. Dragons were creative with naming themselves, they looked into different languages and sought the ones that suited the best. Such as Stormgrey, she was apart of the storm, but also in the grey area, she wasn't like her sister Electo, who was the lightning and fury.

"We should land somewhere, get changed, then head in on foot. I have no doubt that Saint George is here. And some Talon agents. It might even be good to split up." Stormgrey suggested.

Toran narrowed his eyes, "It might go against us."

"I like being in the spot like in my human form, people stare at me and want to get to know me. You though," She shrugged, "would be easy to spot by Talon if you were in the open like that. I am a ghost to them. I am guessing your not."

Toran nodded, he angled down towards a clearing in a thick bit of woods, "Your correct with that. But if another dragon sees you, they will know instantly what you are."

"I have this aura ability that Aura herself taught me, I shall be fine." Stormgrey grinned, she swooped past him and landed gracefully, Shifting and changing her clothes, but keeping the skin tight suit underneath.

Toran copied her, "Should we split now?"

Stormgrey shook her head, looking around the forest she figured they were at least two kilometres out from the town, "Nah not yet." Then she trudged onwards.

"Have you ever met Lilith?" Stormgrey asked her silent companion.

Toran grimaced, "She was a former friend of mine. My master taught her too. When he fell to Saint George she took up the teaching business, was better at it then me." He closed his eyes, "The last couple of years they have been thinking of breeding us together."

"Strong bloodlines." Stormgrey stated, when he looked shocked at how casually she had said that she shrugged, "They were originally going to send me to be a breeder, I was too unruly, but had fantastic bloodlines. They wanted Electo too, but by the time they figured they wanted to, she was gone, leaving a pile of bodies in her wake," Stormgrey broke off, "Some were thirty times as old as she, yet she obliterated them all, a fifteen year old hatchling."

"I've never heard of her." Toran stated.

"She's their biggest failure, the most powerful dragon, gone rogue. Only the Elder Wyrms and such know of her existence, and some of the Saphirz." Stormgrey shrugged, she gestured to where she saw a highway, "Lets split. Go to the town, I shall go to the beach." Without waiting for an answer she jogged off, hearing Toran give a sigh and left the other way.

Cars swept by her, kicking wind at her frail human body. Stormgrey almost hissed at the impact, but closed her eyes and soldiered on. Which was a hilarious thing to say, because the next minute a Jeep pulled up beside her with two Saint George in it.

Of course they didn't know she was a dragon.

The two soldiers were young, the one behind the wheel of the vehicle older then the other and had black hair, he grinned at her, "Hey need a lift into town?"

Stormgrey cocked her head, forcing a friendly smile on her face she nodded, "Yes please, I got lost in the woods and forgot my phone," She laughed, "I'm so silly sometimes. My name is Asha!"

The black haired one nodded, "Tristan. The grumpy one is Garret."

"Hey!" Stormgrey called, she hoped through the offered open door and sat down, clicking the seatbelt into place, "You guys live at the town?"

Tristan nodded his head, his muscular arm pulling the steering wheel to the side and they speed off on the road, "Moved in awhile ago, you?"

"Newcomer!" She nodded, trying to not think about the hatchlings that arm had killed, how many of her kind. She could bet that he was an experienced soldier, the way he talked and moved, "Just visiting from Australia, one of my online friends said that America's beaches were better, I highly doubt it."

"You do look Australian. Golden tan and beautiful features and all." Tristan flirted.

Stormgrey could feel her inside clench in a horrible way, he enemy was flirting with her, she controlled the roaring dragon inside of her, her true self, she grinned, trying to flirt back, "American guys aren't that bad either. They all seem to be really cute." She felt herself almost dry retch, but schooling her features the guys couldn't see that she was one sentence from blowing their heads off.

"We spend a lot of time at the beach," Tristan grinned, "that's why we moved here. My brother and I that is. Do you have family?"

She winced at his horrible acting, he was probing to get information, some inner sense must have made him think that she was a dragon, "My mum is travelling the world sampling some flavours, at the moment she is in Paris. My sister is at college near Wellington." She rested her head back giving a grin at Garret, a 'cute' blonde soldier, "It must be nice to travel with family."

Giving a slight smile Tristan nodded, she saw his eyes flick back to Garret to confer some secret thing then back to hold hers, "Sometimes, he can be annoying. You know I have heard of Wellington. Wasn't there a huge monster sighted there earlier?"

Stormgrey cocked her head, "Ha, could be my sister, she isn't nice to look at." Then she started to crack up at her own joke. Closing her eyes she missed the confused look past between the two.

"Doesn't share the same perfect jeans as you?" Garret asked.

She shivered uncomfortably, knowing that they were not buying her shite, she flicked her eyes back quickly and found that Garret had been on his mobile, finding information about her most likely. They knew she had been spotted at Wellington earlier. Gritting her teeth, "Nah." Giving a shrug, "You two don't want to do what your planning."

Tristan froze, then he reached beside his drivers seat.

Instantly Stormgrey, slammed her fist hard into his jaw, grabbed the steering wheel and swerved it to hit a tree, they had been driving slowly and the impact wasn't that huge. But Tristan fell forwards, Garret falling backwards, a rifle in his hands.

Stormgrey dusted her clothes off, stepping out of the crashed vehicle and glaring at Garret, "I don't even attack you and you try to kill me?!" She snapped, giving a growl she felt the tug of her dragon form.

The dazed boy brought the rifle up only for her to kick it out of his hands.

Garret, brought his hand up to catch Stormgreys foot, but she spun around she struck his face with a knee, giving a grunt he fell to the ground, blood falling from a split lip.

"Your a beast!" Tristan growled, he had gotten out of the car, Stormgrey shot him a glare.

"Says the one attacking me!" She snarled, giving a shake of her head, "I gave you all real information and you attack me. I was going to pay you for the ride too! You Saint George are all alike. Murderous curs slaughtering children!" She stepped towards the black head who had narrowed his eyes at her.

"Your the murdere-"

"No! We don't attack YOU. YOU attack US." She snapped, "The only reason I am not going to kill you right now is because I will get a verbal hiding from my best friend and I am here to help some hatchlings. Us dragons aren't all of one colour."

She spun on her heel giving a glance to Garret she gave him a wink, "Get your reflexes better, you won't last a minute against an adult."

"Ember." The male groaned.

"The hatchlings name? What about her?" Stormgrey stopped, looking back and finding Tristan debating whether to shot her or not, Garret gave another groan, his face looked horrible.

"She. She's a dragon, but, she not like the others."

Stormgrey gave a swear, if the mere human could notice that, then Talon would have too. She turned around and started to run. She was tired, the cold night air making her lungs hurt, but she could see the light of the moon, hear the rush of the ocean, and hear the sound of battling dragons. She wished it would be Toran that she found fighting Talon, not the hatchling.

Rounding a corner and almost falling off a cliff edge she watched in horror as three dragons battled.

One was bright red, small, a hatchling. The other was a beautiful blue colour, a male juvenile. The last was Lilith.

Stormgrey didn't think twice, she Shifted and slung herself at the Viper, giving a roar.

They slammed together, one adult against a Juvenile. Stormgrey could see the surprise in Lilith's eyes as she shrunk backwards.

"An intruder." The female hissed.

Stormgrey gave a growl, positioning herself between the two groups, "Lilith, a pleasure to meet you."

"Stupid young one." The Viper snarled, she started to circle, trying to get around Stormgrey, but a huge gust of wind blew her backwards, "A stupid Saphirz. So far away from your leader."

She could see the two rogue's give a start, knowing who the Saphirz was, the older one, but still younger then she gave her an intrigued look.

"I am Stormgrey!" She hissed, widening her wings to full size, knowing that the moon would glint off of them and send a message to Toran if he was in the area to get his ass right here, "One of the co-founder's of the Saphirz."

"Ah, the gifted young one that my master's wanted to become a breeder. But was set into Komodo training instead. A pity I have to kill you to get to that rogue, and my student that he corrupted."

"You poison the minds of each hatchling under your care, old friend." Said a voice from the shadows, an adult dragon appeared out of nowhere, Toran.

Stormgrey shot him a grateful look and started to advance on Lilith, her green snake like head darted between the two intruders.

"Toran, I heard that you went rogue." Lilith said, she decided to just face Stormgrey, "At first I didn't believe it. But you have a power. You can still come back, just kill that annoying female beside you."

"Stormgrey?" Toran asked, he gave a laugh, rolling his eyes, "She been better to me then Talon ever has. I already consider her a friend."

"Hey ditto here. Your pretty tolerable." Stormgrey laughed and in her mind she said to Toran, Suck up.

He gave her a glare then snorted, he flared his wings and advanced on Lilith, "Leave us be Lilith. Otherwise we will fight. And with Stormgrey backing me up, you don't have a chance."

"I will back you up too." Said the blue dragon, he gave a snarl, trying to advance with them, the red dragon moving with them.

Stormgrey snapped her tail, "Stay out of it."

Lilith narrowed her acid green eyes and she started to back off, "You won't be able to get far." Then the bus sized Viper spread her wings and took off into the sky, the sun had fully risen so she skimmed the waters surface. In under a minute she disappeared from sight.

Stormgrey shifted back to her human form, reminiscing her normal clothing which had ripped to shreds when she shifted, she didn't have a spare. The two unknowns stared at her and the blue dragon dropped off the ledge to change, he didn't have a suit.

The little red dragon shifted into a slender teenager with bright red hair and emerald eyes that glared at Stormgrey, "You let her get away?!" She fumed.

Stormgrey huffed, "Oh, feel free to go after her yourself. It's morning hatchling, we can't just fly off and start a fight with an adult. It causes a lot of noise."

"But you could have taken her!" The little girl snapped, her black suit caught Stormgrey's eyes.

"And you really wanted us to kill your mentor, harsh kid." Storm chuckled, she leaned forwards, feeling Toran shift beside her, "I also know that there are some Saint George in this town. And they know what you are."

"Saint George? Here?" The blue dragon appeared again, in his human form. He was a tall male with black hair and golden eyes, Storm glared at him.

"Your sense's must be so dense if you didn't know that already. There are two undercover soldier's, Tristan and Garret if I recall." She shot a glance at Toran, who nodded at her, turning around he went off to find some transport to get these kid's out of here and back to Paradise.

The red kid gave a gasp, her eyes wide, "You didn't kill them did you?! Is Garret ok?"
Stormgrey snorted, "He's a human kid." Then she grinned at them, "My name is Stormgrey, as you may have figured, I am from the Saphiraz. I'm offering for you to come back with us."

"My name is Cobalt. I've been a rogue for quite awhile." The blue dragon stated, he moved towards Stormgrey, "I have almost a hundred hatching's hidden around. Could they go to your base?"

Storm shrugged, "Don't see why not. We have more then a thousand dragons there already."

"Wouldn't Saint George notice that? And Talon!" The red hatchling asked.

"We have a barrier up against things like that. And Talon wouldn't try to attack us," Storm narrowed her eyes at the red girl, "Your pretty irritating for a hatchling, no wonder you were going to become a Viper."

Toran chuckled, he jumped from the ledge behind them, "I'm not that irritating am I? I got a car."

"I just met you yesterday." Storm grinned, she clicked her fingers, "Come on. We should head off immediately."

"Not without my brother!" The red one snapped.

Stormgrey sighed but before she could say anything Cobalt put a hand on the hatchlings arm, "Ember, Dante isn't going to come with us. And it's dangerous to go back into town."

"I don't care! He's my brother." Ember growled.

"Go ahead, do what you like. But I am heading off. I'm tired of being around human areas. And Talon." Stormgrey laughed, she turned and walked off.

"Fine. I can get him out myself." Ember growled.

This was why Stormgrey didn't do many missions involving hatchlings, she turned her eyes showing that her dragon was on the surface, "I don't care kid. Really I don't. But know that you will probably be caught by Talon and have your memory wiped, or be sent to the labs. Your brother isn't coming. He probably told on you to Lilith. He's embedded into Talon."

"He's my sibling." Ember snapped, she looked like she was about to Shift right there.

"Hatchling." Stormgrey growled, she felt the wind pick up around her, "I know more about siblings then you do. My own sister tried to kill me. We naturally don't get along."

"You don't know-" Ember started but then there was a gust of wind and Stormgrey was standing over her in her dragon form.

The silver of her scales glittered like treasure in the sunlight and Toran gave a sigh, "I am much older then you. You wouldn't stand two seconds against me, I would crush that cute little neck of yours into splinters, singe your very being until you turned to ash, then spread those ashes to the wind." She snarled, her white fangs showing and she saw Cobalt preparing to Shift to protect Ember, "So chose your words wisely. And stop trying to butt heads with me. I am the Alpha." She spun, Shifting and grabbing the ledge with her human hands, she pulled herself and grinned at Toran, "I can't stand the hatchlings."

Toran was leaning against a sleek SUV, it was black, and looked like it belonged to Saint George, which it probably did, "I got rid of all the trackers in this thing, the kids coming or not?"

"We are." A more sombre Ember stated as she pulled herself up.

"But we need to stop at a rendezvous spot, I have two hatchlings and a hacker there." Cobalt stated, he shot a cold glare at Stormgrey, "You didn't have to be so harsh to Ember."

"Hey, I don't have the patience to deal with her right now." Storm shrugged, "What's the coordinates?"

Cobalt shot off some numbers and they entered it into the SUV's GPS. Stormgrey took the drivers seat and Toran sat in the back with Ember.

The rogue gave her a curious glance, "A Saint George car? Really?"

"It's not a Saint George car genius. It's just a black SUV that looks like one. It has none of the tags. Like an undercover cop car." Storm grinned, pulling out of the road and following the instructions on the screen, she glanced into the back where Ember sat with a frown on her face, Toran gave her a quick smile and tried to make small talk with the kid.

Cobalt nodded, "So. The Saphiraz. Didn't know that they rescued hatchlings, that are normal. Thought you were more picky."

"Some people say that, but we aren't, well, I am. But that's me. We have several agents that scour the whole world looking for anyone that needs out of Talon. We help out as much as we can, but sometimes we are too late. I'm happy we got here in time, even though we only got one of the intended targets." She brushed a strand of golden brown hair out of her eyes.

"Now you get to rescue four dragons. And a really good hacker."

"We have hackers." Storm stated, she narrowed her eyes as a black car passed them, watching it carefully until it was out of sight, "And it's still a shame we didn't get five dragons. The more the merrier. It makes Paradise better with more in it."

"That what you call the base? Cocky." Cobalt gave a smirk, "Why Paradise?"

"Hmm." Stormgrey thought about it, "You will see. Trust me, it is Paradise. You can stay in your true form as much as you like." She looked over her shoulder as she pulled the car into an abandoned estate.

"Sounds like Heaven." Cobalt stated, Ember nodded in agreement.

"Heh. Then Talon is Hell." Stormgrey grinned, she gestured to the house they had pulled in front of, "You going in, or?"

"I messaged them." He waved a mobile phone around.

Three figures walked out of the house, two small ones following a scruffy human. Luckily the SUV could seat all seven of them.

The human strode over to Cobalt's window, which he had wound down, "What the bloody hell is going on?"

"Saphiraz finally came by a place I was in. They invited us over."

"Hello." Stormgrey grinned, the humans brown eyes connected with the dragons and he shivered.

"Great. Bloody finally. Idiot thought he could do anything by himself." Wes gave a grin, gesturing to the two hatchlings to follow him into the car. When he was seated next to Toran he rose his eyebrows, "And you even have an adult with you. Smart."

"Cobalt has survived by himself for quite awhile, I think." Stormgrey stated, she gave a wave to the two hatchlings who sat side by side, "My names Stormgrey! Nice to meet cha!"
"Remy." A small boy said, he had dirty blonde hair and light blue eyes, he was watching everyone nervously.

"Nettle. Hey where are we going?" The girl asked, she had brown dreadlocks and brown eyes.

"To Paradise!" Stormgrey whooped, she put her foot to the accelerator and the car surged forwards.

Turning off of the highway and onto the side road that would lead them close by Paradise Stormgrey glanced over to the sleeping passengers in the car. They obviously had been busy, Cobalt had told her how they had to fight off Saint George and how he got hit by a bullet. That's how the conversation had devolved into showing each other their scars.

Stormgrey won and she gave a wink to the slightly uncomfortable Toran, who had been watching the exchange, "I get into fights a lot."

He had just shook his head.

The nine hour trip had passed quickly for them, and the moment the car hit dirt everyone but Wes woke up, he was snoring.

Stormgrey shook her head in amusement, "Almost there. We have to walk to the entrance, it's still light out." It had just hit afternoon, two o'clock. She swung the steering wheel and they lurched into the forest onto an old track, pine needles scrapped the side of the car.

"Holy crap!" Wes shouted, he opened his eyes.

Stormgrey laughed at him, "Nearing Paradise human."

"Yeah, figured, thanks for the wake up call."

"Sleeping beauty needed her rest." Cobalt said, grinning at his human friend, "Ember you ok?"

The fiery hatchling gave a nod, her eyes distant, she had just left everything that she knew and was heading towards a place she had never heard of before.

Stormgrey gave a whistle and everyone's heads snapped forward. In front of them was a massive mountain, the entrance beckoning them, "I need to drive the car in, it's going to be pretty useful," She gave Toran a nod, "I need you all to stay in it until I tell you to come out. Security check."

She drove the car towards the white water of the waterfall, hearing Wes cuss she went faster, getting a bit of air from the small ramp that was inside. Seeing a blur of black she gave a grin, she had surprised Ebony. Stopping the soaking car she got out and mock saluted the glaring black head, "Hey Ebony!"

"Stormgrey. Justice will be happy that you got back safely. Any trouble? And who is with you?" The soft spoken male asked, he cast a weary glance to the car, "That's a Saint George car."

"Eh, it's a black SUV. Mission went fine, retrieved four dragons and an ex Talon hacker of considerable skill. All clear by my checks." Stormgrey pronounced.

Ebony gave her a shocked look, "Four?"

Storm gestured to the car, signalling the passengers to hop out. They all did, all the newcomers had looks of curiosity as they stared at Ebony, "Introductions!" She called, surprising them all.

"My name is Ebony. I'm the protector of the border of Paradise." The black male stated, "I was trained as a spy in Talon, and enjoy using those skills against them. I am ten years older then Stormgrey, 86. My ability is shadows."

Cobalt strode forwards, golden eyes grinning at the older male, "My name is Cobalt. I was trained as a Basilisk. Hate Talon and have been a Rogue for twelve years, getting hatchlings to safety. Stopped counting my age at twenty, but I am around forty."

Ember nodded, "I'm Ember. Newly escaped from Talon, trained as a Viper," She paused not sure how Ebony would respond, but he didn't, "I have a twin brother," That got a reaction from the black dragon, he shot shocked eyes at Stormgrey, "And I am sixteen years old."

"Remy is my name. I escaped Talon a year ago with Cobalt's help. I was going to be sent to the labs, I was too small. I'm seventeen." The small kid shrugged.

Nettle gave a grin, "Nice to meet you Ebony, my name is Naomi, or as everyone calls me, it's Nettle. I was going to be a breeder. Sixteen."

"Bloody hell are we in kindergarten?" Wes asked, he brushed some hair out of his face, "Fine then. Names Wes, hacker, don't bloody care about my age. Hate Talon."

"He's a great hacker." Cobalt stated, "The best."

Ebony's eyebrows rose, "We have the best hacker already, White."

Wes gave a whistle, "Wow, you got that god. White's the best hacker in the world. Everyone was wondering where they went to."

"White's different." Stormgrey laughed, "You will like her."

"Her?!" Wes exclaimed, "I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything." Ebony stated, he nodded to Stormgrey, "They are clear. I'll take the human to HQ. You take the kids to see Jus."

Nodding the affirmative Stormgrey watched as the two males disappeared through a metal door, she gestured forwards, "Shall we?"

"Who's Jus?" Ember asked, she jogged to catch up to the leader, not showing her earlier behaviour.

"A friend of mine, and the Leader. He's nice, so you don't have to worry about it. After we see him I will escort you to your dens," Pausing she glanced at Toran, "That reminds me, you should head off to dinner. I am sure you know where it is? Save us a spot."

Toran gave her a shrug, "Catch you later." Then the adult left them in his dust, heading down a different path in the tunnel.

"Different tunnels lead to different sides of Paradise," Stormgrey explained, "It's a huge crater surrounded by high mountains, easiest way through and around it is through the tunnels, young dragons cannot fly over the walls, the cold at the top is too much for them." They reached the end of their tunnel and shielded their eyes against the bright sun that was gradually falling down.

Gasps were heard as the group reached the ledge.

Paradise was in-front of them, and hundreds of dragons flew around the area, some giving them curious glances.

"Welcome to Paradise." Stormgrey stated proudly.

LONG CHAPTER

OMG that was hard to write. Sorry if you got a bit confused. I just made it so that it fit with what I wanted. Hope no one was OOC.

I know Stormgrey wasn't.

I'm not used to writing fictional characters like Ember and so on. I probably stuffed Garret and Tristan up, but as a first try, well, toughen up.

Look forward to the next chapter as I am hopefully going to write it soon, eventually, maybe.

SB7 Reporting Out!
