We finish our food fast and then go flying again until Melanite is too exhausted to continue, so I let her ride on my back while we get her back to her nest. "What now?" I ask the others once she's asleep.

"Now we show you how to use your fire," Adriana smirks. "Sounds good to me," I smirk back. "How do I do it?"

"Just open your mouth, take a deep breath and then let it out," Selene replies, demonstrating on the floor, a purple flame striking the ground. I do as she says, concentrating, until I feel gas build up in my mouth and the telltale crackle of flames build up in my chest.

I breathe out and a small purple flame follows, landing on Asher's wing. "Do I look like a target to you?" He questions jokingly, waving his wing to put out the fire.

"Why yes, you do," I tease, doing it again, this time next to his feet. My fire hits it's mark. "My sister is evil, she wants to kill me," Asher sighs dramatically. We all chuckle, keeping quiet so we don't wake little Melanite.

"If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead," I retort, which results in him pouncing on me, pinning me to the floor. "Prove it," he challenges.

Hm... sounds good to me.

I whimper. "Get off! You're hurting me!" I beg Asher, fighting back a smirk. Quickly he gets off, taking the bait. "Indigo I'm so sorry!" He says quickly.

I take my chance and pounce on him, keeping him down on the ground. "Apology accepted," I let my smirk show, licking the side of his face, before hopping gracefully off of him. Adriana starts laughing. "Beaten by your little sister who only just morphed for the first time!"

While we all laugh, I think of something. "Um... quick question... how do I morph back?" I ask. "Oh, when you want to morph just picture the form you want to take," Selene explains. "Go ahead and try it."

I nod and concentrate, thinking of my human form. Slowly my scales tingle and I feel myself shrinking. It doesn't take long for me to revert back to human form.

"So what are you planning on doing now?" Adriana asks me. "I mean, as much as I don't want you to leave, you have the chance to go back to your own pack now, right?"

"I guess so," I nod slowly, thinking it over.

Suddenly the clicking of claws sounds by the cave entrance. We all turn to see a dragon there, who I manage to recognise as the Alpha. "I heard that Indigo had the chance to morph today," he says, looking at me. "That's true, Alpha," I confirm, lowering my gaze in respect.

"Well I know you have your own pack to worry about," the Alpha says. "But if you ever want to join us here, you're more than welcome to."

"I- thank you, Alpha," I say, taken aback slightly. It's not every day that you're willingly offered a place in a pack you have no business in.

He nods before continuing. "Anyway, as most of you may have heard, Plasma is returning from his search. There's going to be a sort of celebration. All pack members are invited."

"What about Indigo?" Selene questions. "Actually, Plasma requested to meet her specifically," The Alpha answered, looking me up and down. "May I ask who Plasma is?" I ask, confused.

"Plasma is my son," The Alpha explains. "He's been out for a while looking for more of our kind. Since he hasn't succeeded yet he's decided to return home. Especially since he heard that another of our kind has come here, in other words you."

"Is that why he wants to meet her, then?" Asher stands in front of me protectively. I pat his side, calming him down slightly. "Partly, though he also said he's impressed at the fact that she saved multiple pack members by single-handedly taking out an entire dragon hunter fleet," he replied.

"Well if that's what they wish, I'll gladly meet them," I state. "Good," The Alpha nods. "I'll see you then, in that case. Have a lovely birthday." With that, the Alpha turns and leaves.

"Indigo! You've got a date with Plasma!" Adriana squeals immediately after he's gone, morphing into her human form. "It's not a date, chances are he just wants to confirm I'm not a threat to his pack," I reply.

"A girl can dream, can't she?" She shrugs. I just sigh and shake my head slightly, bemused by her actions. "Whatever. Any clue when Plasma will be here?"

"I've heard that he'll be here in three days," Adriana answered. "There's plenty of time until then."

"I might go back home, then," I say to everyone, not sure how they'll react. "Already?" Asher asks. "I've already stayed here a week, that's more than enough time where I'm concerned," I reason with him. "It's by far the longest time I've willingly stayed anywhere that isn't home."

"You'll be back in three days, right?" Selene asks me. "Of course," I nod. "Even if I wasn't, you can't keep me away from you guys forever. As strange as it sounds, I've grown to like you all."

We all laugh at that. "Okay, just stay safe out there," Selene says, wrapping her wings around me in a hug. Asher then does the same and Adriana uses her arms. Not wanting to wake Melanite, I pet her gently and leave a little dragon nip next to her for when she wakes up. "See you soon, sweetie."

With that I mount Stylive and we leave the home of the Morphwings, heading for home. I can't wait to see the others again and make sure they're doing alright. If something happened to them while I was gone, I'd never be able to forgive myself.

Once we get back everything seems normal and a check-in with Alpine confirms this. Good. Everybody is safe still.
