I am finally in Pyrrhia and marveling at the sights I see around me. Lush greens, feral wildlife, and great forests. But I have yet to find a single dragon. 

Maybe they stay in their kingdoms, not traveling so much. 

But that theory is soon broken as I see two unfamialri dragons near a mountain. There's a strong smell indicating a lot of dragons here. I angle my wings to glide towards the ledge that serves as the opening of the mountain and smile when the strange dragons meet my eyes. "who are you?" one of them asks with hostility, luminous scales flashing. I give an assuring smile dipping my head "my name is Dazyn, and I am looking after a dragon named Darkstalker. I have a feeling he lives around here, am I right?" the two dragons looked at each other with wide eyes before the born one dipped into a bow. 

"Oh, my stars, I am so sorry, lady Dazyn! We didnt know you to be back alive!" he exclaimed, and I frowned. "Lady Dazyn, have Darkstalker asked you to call me that? Well, dont I am no lady; I am just a simple dragoness," the blue dragon scoffs "yeah, simple, there is no simple dragon who could've captured the heart of the great Darkstalker a second time. No, you, my friend, are not simple. Oh, far from that. He is in the old NightWing kingdom if you're looking for him. Moonwatcher can show you the sway. Moonwatvher!" 

Soon a familiar black dragon came sprinting and skidded to a halt "yes, Tsunami?" she asked timidly. I smiled "bring lady Dazyn to the old NightWing kingdom. she wants to see Darkstalker" Moon looked at me and a happy smile spread over her lips "it is good to see you again, Dazyn," she greeted. I dipped my head in greeting "the same to you, Moon. Now shall we go?" she nodded and spread her wings taking off my following. 

"why is he in the old NightWing kingdom?" I asked as soon as we had gotten away from the mountain. Moon sighed "well, he is planning on being the king. the old NightWing queen and her daughter were overthrown this last moon, actually. and... no, wait, he should tell you this himself. Just follow me" she shook her head with a smile before picking up speed me doing the same. 

But her words got my thoughts whirling. 

What does she mean he wants to become the king? Over the NightWings or Pyrrhia? I hope he hasn't done anything in my name. 

◤◢◣◥◤◢◣◥◤◢◣◥

Darkstalker was sitting on his black throne, bored out of his mind. He missed Dazyn, but he knew he would never be welcome back to the Kingdom of Dreams, not after what he had done. 

A knock startles the king, but he soon snaps out of it and looks down to see a NightWing guard bowing in front of his paws "speak," Darkstalker hisses. The guard stands "your highness, there is someone you want to see, you," he says, and Darkstalker flick his tail, and the doors to the throne room open, and in comes Moon and a familiar dragoness. 

Darkstalker's eyes widen when he looks into her mind and her eyes once they meet his "D-Dazyn....?" he stutters. The dragoness smiled, sadness filling her face. "it is me, Darkstalker," she clicked, and Moon smiled, stepping away and back to the hallway behind the throne room doors leaving Dazyn and Darkstalker alone. 

"You-you're back?" he asks, walking down the stairs from his throne. The beautiful (s/c) dragoness smiles and dips her head. "I am, and I will not be leaving your side. I know you want me to become your queen" Darkstalker frowned "how do you know this?" he asked, and Dazyn sighed, flicking her tail. "I... Moon told me... not directly, but I thought I understood it. You seemed so sad when you killed me well. I figured there were more than friendly feelings involved. And Darkstalker, while I have a soulmate already, it doesn't mean I can not have another one. Smaug will understand. To keep the peace, I will do this" 

Darkstalker smiles. He had never been so happy in his life, not even when he and Clearsight got together. "thank you for giving me a chance Dazyn. It means the world to me," he breathed and dipped his head down, entrapping her lips in his. Then, the world seemed to fade away, and it was just the two of them. 

Once they broke apart, Darkstalker gave Dazyn a loving, affectionate smile. "I will let you get rested, my love, and then we will send for your family for our declaration, okay?" he said, and she nodded, giving him a peck on the cheek before slithering away and out of the throne room with a guard leading her. 

Now left alone, Darkstalker took a deep breath and couldn't stop the thoughts from reeling nor the smile forming on his lips. He returned to his throne and continued his day, the smile never coming off. 

Moon was happy to see her friend comfortable and even more pleased to have Dazyn alive. But, of course, her friends would be happy too, so she left to make them come to the old NightWing castle as soon as possible. 

And speaking of Dazyn, she was getting ready to go to bed, just taking a warm bath in one basin that had been placed inside her den. It was relaxing to get water on her sore muscles. And it felt good that she made up with Darkstalker. Now she has to write Smaug and her family about this. 

*sigh* I hope they'll accept, and Smaug won't go up in flames. He didn't like Darkstalker that much and even less when he betrayed us and killed me. But that is in the past; the future is now waiting for us. And I will not let  this get destroyed.
