Author's Note: The story that connects with the dragon drawings.

I had a longer note for this, but I'm too tired to write it and it just didn't seem right... I'm just tired honestly. 

 Anyways, I hope you enjoy this story.

--------------------------------------

 Mumbo's POV:

 Blimey my head hurts. 

 Every time I opened my eyes, the world would spin like a bloody top and the grass below me was stained red. I slowly moved my head and let out a weak groan as I stared at the gray muzzle I had grown while I was knocked out. My mustache has grown long in order to fit with how I looked now. 

 I shuddered as my ears twitched. My whole body ached as I forced my long, gray arm out from under me; black and red scales covered my arm and the claws I had were black. 

 I closed my eyes again and gently rubbed at my eyes and muzzle. What caused this? Something I ate? Something I drank? Was this magic or the code messing up? It hurt too much to think clearly on one idea and one idea alone. 

 " Is that Mumbo?" Wels's voice caught my ears as I slowly turned my head towards where I heard him. I waited as my rather heavy tail swished. I stuck my tongue out and groaned.

 " Yeah, that's our spoon." Iskall's voice followed after a minute or two passed. I cracked an eye open in order to look up at two decently sized dragons. One dragon was gray with yellow and red scales, and the other was green with blue scales. The green dragon also had Iskall's robotic eye.

 Iskall stuck his tongue out as he balanced on his tail. I shook as Wels leaned down and gently picked me up. I looked myself over and let out a small growl as I stuck my forked tongue out. I was horribly long to point where it looked like I could tie myself up into a knot. My tail thrashed as I slowly uncurled myself until my long legs touched the ground. I leaned down in order to be at the same level as Welsknight; Iskall stood on his tail in order to be at the same height as well. 

 " Isss.... Is anyone elsse online with uss?" I questioned as Iskall nodded his head, " Yeah Grian and a few others. The communications are down currently, so I can't see the full list." he pointed towards his deactivated eye. 

 Wels nodded his head, " You and I seemed to have lost our communicators." he motioned towards my other arm.  I frowned, " We all have also seemed to have lost our clothing...." my ears twitched. I reached up to grab at one of my horns. When I moved my claw back, I looked at some blood mixed in with hair. 

 " Iss my hair f-falling out?" I questioned with a tilt of my head.  Iskall shook his head and laughed, " No, that's just your horns. It cut through your skin and hair." the hermit stopped standing on his tail in order to stand on his feet. 

 Iskall walked over to me and put his hand onto my back. I turned my head and stared at where Iskall's claw is. 

 Blood.

 I looked down and stared at the blood that I was actually laying in. My tail curled around me as I blinked. Did I pass out from pain? Is that why I was laying down on the ground? I put my claws to my head and whined causing Iskall to move towards me. 

 The dragon put his claws on the bottom of my muzzle, " Calm down Mumbo... You need to breathe with me bro." his ears lowered as I nodded. 

 In.

 Out.

 In..

 Out..

 In...

 Out...

 Iskall and I stared at each other as Iskall patted my head. I put my head down onto his scaly shoulder. My whole body was shaking as I breathed slowly. 

 Wels's ears twitched, " Are you alright Mumbo?" he questioned as I looked towards him. I nodded, " Yeah, yeah... Everything just feels wrong, and I'm, I am very much freaking out over being like this..." 

 Wels nodded as his wings flapped slightly, " Should we find out where the others are?" he questioned as Iskall and I nodded. Iskall's tail twitched, " Well, I know that Grian is with Scar and possibly Cub." 

 " Possibly Cub?" I questioned with a tilt of my head. Iskall looked up at me, " Grian said that he and Scar were up to some shenanigans at Scar's new base, but Cub said that he was doing some redstone work for Scar this morning."

 " This means that Cub could be with the two of them." Iskall shrugged his shoulders. Wels rubbed at one of his horns, " He could've left by now." he muttered causing Iskall to nod, " Yeah, he could have, but turning into a giant lizard will want to make you stay in one place." 

 The two hermits stared at each other in silence. Wels's tail thrashed as his wings twitched. I cleared my throat, " So, there's a bit of a problem..." my ears twitched as the two turned to me.

 Iskall tilted his head with a frown, " What's wrong Mums?" he questioned as I motioned to his wings and to Wels's wings.

 " I don't think that I can fly, but the two of you can... How do we get to Scar's new base?" I questioned as I looked up towards the sky then down towards the others. Iskall stretched his wings, " Maybe we can carry you? You may be long, but I could fly under you and Wels could fly above you." 

 Wels shook his head, " I don't think that's going to work." his horn glowed slightly as he walked around me. I followed him anxiously as he slipped around me like a snake. I frowned and curled in on myself. Why is Wels doing this?

 " Mumbo, you can actually fly..." Wels spoke in a stunned tone; his eyes widened slightly as his wings flapped. I perked up slightly, " Now how the hell do you know that?" I questioned as Wels's horn stopped glowing, " See, I've figured out how to do some scanning with my horn. X helped me get it synced up to my communicator." he pointed towards the horn, " I got some information to pop up that says you're one of those wingless dragons that can still fly with magic."

 I frowned even further. If Iskall's eye piece wasn't working, then why is Wels's communicator able to work still? It's nowhere nearby, and somehow Wels's horn can pick it up? 

 Iskall crossed his arms as he leaned back on his tail. The hermits wings flapped hard enough to cause a small breeze, " How does he fly? If he can..." Iskall muttered the 'if he can' part out as he scratched at the bottom of his muzzle. 

 Wels shrugged, " I don't know exactly, but I think it has to do with focus." he rubbed his chin as he frowned. I raised the eyebrow that I probably didn't have. Iskall's tail thudded against the floor, " Well, that's something that he doesn't have." he chuckled as I smacked him with my tail. Iskall stumbled forward and let out a soft 'oof'. 

 " I can absolutely focus mate." I growled and bared my teeth causing Iskall's ears to go back. I put my claw to my mouth, " Sorry Iskall." I mumbled causing him to nod, " No, I'm sorry." he frowned. 

 Iskall stood by Wels's side as my tail twitched. I looked at my claws and took a deep breath. My ears twitched as I closed my eyes and focused. 

 Flying.

 Hovering.

 Think about it.

 " Oh my god!" Iskall's voice came from in front of me. I opened my eyes and looked down to find that I was a swimming in the air. I gasped and wiggled my rather noodley self around. 

 " I-I AM DOING IT!" I gasped as I coiled around Wels and Iskall while remaining in the air. Iskall let out another laugh, " Alright, now that we got you into the air, let's get to Scar's base." 

 Iskall and Wels flapped their wings. The two of them hovered above the ground. We three nodded our heads at each other and flew towards Scar's base to hopefully find the hermits we were searching for.
