fWhip's Perspective-

Throughout the next couple days, fWhip and Gem were at each other's throats, arguing about this and that.

fWhip shouted at her for singing too loud in the shower, Gem shouted at him for putting Gandalf's food down too loud and scaring him, and fWhip shouted at Gem for acting all kind around people even though she was just mad a second ago.

"What, I can't be happy anymore?" Gem snapped.

"It's annoying for you to shout one second and then the next one you act like a prissy princess."

"I do not!! I'm just keeping my image around my people."

fWhip scoffed, "Well it's stupid."

"You're stupid."

"Yeah, well at least I don't sing so loud that people can't think."

"At least I don't scare cats and cute animals away."

fWhip stuck out his tongue.

"I hate this empire. I hate staying here with you. I'm glad I don't have to live here." fWhip snapped, folding his arms.

"This empire is way better than your stupid redstone would ever be!"

"At least redstone is reliable. Your magic can get out of hand! You don't even know how to help Scott with his brother! And you're supposed to be a powerful wizard!!"

fWhip had struck a nerve. Gem's hands tightened around her staff and tears formed in her eyes.

fWhip's grin fell as he heard his sister snap.

"At least I'm trying to help our friend and not just causing more mischief! You don't bother figuring out how to stop this demon, all you care about is yourself." She snapped before turning on her heel and marching off.

fWhip was about to clap back but couldn't think of anything to say. He fell silent and he huffed, folding his arms. He felt mad yet that was extinguished by his sorrow and guilt.

He sighed and his mother walked in.

"You ready?" She asked, smiling a bit, "We can ride the dragon to The Grimlands."

fWhip smiled weakly.

"Oh sweetie, what's wrong?" Rose crouched down to her son's level. She brushed a strand of his hair behind his ear and fWhip hugged her.

"I shouted at Gem." He mumbled, "And I shouted that she wasn't a good wizard."

Rose sighs, "Honey, you know how hard Gem's trying."

"I know, I don't know why I said that. I know how hard she pushes herself and stays up late to work, I just...she made me mad..."

Rose hummed, "Well...you should go apologize to her. And I'm sure whatever she said to make you mad wasn't true either. You two just like to get a reaction out of each other." She smiled, kissing her son's forehead.

fWhip smiled, "Alright. I'm gonna go find her, and then I'll be ready."

He ran out and saw his sister walking up to the academy.

"Wait- Gem!" He shouted, jogging up to her.

Gem stopped and she shot her brother a cold glare.

fWhip gulped, "G-Gem, I- "

Gem's glare hardened and fWhip took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry." He said, looking down, "I...I said something stupid and wrong because I wanted to make you mad. You're good at magic, and your empire will probably be better than what my dusty redstone could ever be."

Gem's frown faded and she looked down.

"And I'm sure you'll be able to help Scott as well," fWhip continued, "And- and if you need my help then I'll be there because I need to protect you and my people as well."

Gem smiled a bit, and she hugged him.

fWhip smiled softly and hugged back.

He felt her hit his head with her staff and he yelped.

"Hey-! That hurts!" He pouted and rubbed the back of his head while Gem giggled.

"I know, but you deserved it." She smirked.

fWhip rolled his eyes but he chuckled. He then flicked her hat off and Gem jumped.

"Hey! Don't take my hat." She picked it up, dusting it off.

"It's so big though, so flickable." He smirked and Gem laughed.

"Just go back to your little empire and leave me alone." She giggled.

fWhip smiled, "Alright, alright, fine." He chuckled and gave her a little side hug before walking towards his mother, who was getting on one of the smaller dragons.

As they fly towards The Grimlands, they pass over Rivendell.

fWhip frowned and he gasped as he saw the lava crystals and tentacles in Rivendell. The tentacles were surrounding Scott's tower on the palace as if they were going to take it down.

fWhip glanced at his mother, who had a stone-cold expression of worry on her face.

fWhip gulped and his arms tightened around his mother, a bit scared of what was going to happen.

I hope Scott's alright...
