Days had gone since the big fire, and Jake knew that the Sky People were coming closer and closer to finding his hiding place.

He and his family needed to leave. They couldn't keep putting their clan in danger. It was him Colonel Quaritch wanted, not his clan. Jake walks through his village to ensure everything is at its best. Right after the naming ceremony for the new Clan Leader, he and his family would be leaving these mountains.

My familiar presence startled him, and he slowed down when he saw me lying on the cliff's edge where he had his base. My eyes were trained on the landscape before me, not noticing or faking that I didnt see him. However, Jake knew fully well that I was aware of his presence and sat beside me.

What is on your heart? I asked him and saw something flash through his thoughts. The piece of information that I asked him what his heart wanted and not his mind. He took some time to gather enough information before he laid it out before me. "I plan to flee these mountains. I can't keep putting my clan in danger. A new leader must take my place while my family and I will flee."

His words left me thinking, and I sighed. You do right, Sully. The clan's life will be in constant danger. But I fear that you will bring trouble with you. I will do my best to protect your family, that I promise you, my words seemed to impact him, and he turned to face me, my head turning to face him too.

Our eyes locked, and I felt an unmissable bond form. What kind it was, though, I didnt know. "you would do that for us?" he asked after a few more moments of staring into my eyes. I smiled, of course, Jake. I saved you once, and I would gladly do it again. We share a bond, Jake. A bond I have yet to know what it is. You and I are meant to lead these people. You will be great, my friend, I said in my little speech, seemingly having enforced him.

The blue two Legg leaned his head on my shoulder. Even though it was much bigger than him, my shoulder was still at his head high when I was lying down. I smiled and placed my snout upon his head.

"thank you, Dazyn," he said, and I purred against his head; anytime, Jake. Anytime.

I, Jake, and the rest of his family stood ready all on their Banshees. We were standing right behind the family, a protector hidden from sight. 

"Okay, let's go," Jake calls to us all, and we take flight to the cheering of the clan. Sadness grips my hearthstone, but I know this is nescarry. We need to leave this place unless we want Jake's family to be destroyed. But who says we will not bring discord to the other families? I fear the worst, but for now, I have to follow protection and ensure they stay out of trouble. 

We fly for hours, even at night. Pandora's skyspace isn't as dangerous as its landscape under the night, so Jake and his family trust their Banshees will be safe. And I would take care of any flying danger in no time. That is my job, after all. Never thought that my mind said, and I frowned, what do you mean? I asked her, being a protector or if you will, a guardian? She clarified. I mean, you are queen, arent you? It's not your job to protect kinds that aren't your own. I sighed. she was right. It wasn't my job , but i would do it despite anting. 

I know, I answered calmly, but they are my friends. I saved them, and they kept me. ui won't let them leave alone. I promised Jake I would fight for his family no matter what. My mind shook her head, Dazyn, you always put others before yourself, and until now, it led you to the kingdom Of night and the king's throne. But now it leads you to an unknown peril against creatures our kind has hated for thousands of years. They write stupid stuff about us in their lives, and these blue ones are no different. Jake was a sky person, and he still is. 

I sighed but didn't get the chance to answer her. Instead, I felt a familiar presence beside me and looked to see Jake beside me. I dip him with my head, our eyes not going from each other. What brings you here? I ask despite my mouth never opening. Jake has still to learn how to speak like that, but I can see his thoughts; for now, I stay out of them and let him say from his heart instead. 

"I want to thank you for coming with us. But are you sure you don't want to return home to your kingdom? I mean, your mate must be looking for you," I sighed and flicked my tail in the air; Jake, I promised you I would fight by your side no matter what comes at us, whether the Sky people or my people. Darkstalker knows better than to attack a clan filled with warriors. He will not come. 

Jake seemed to relax slightly but didn't leave my side, and I didn't complain. Togher for the rest of the flight we flew. 

But had I only known a few hundred yards away had an army of Nightwings already caped for the night? Darkstalker is in the lead. They had arrived at Pandora a few hours ago, tired and thirsty. Byt Darkstalker knew his army could do this. He knew they were strong enough to defeat the two legs that took his beloved mate, and he would let fire rain down. But first, they had to find their location. All the crystal ball showed was that I was on another planet, far away from the earth where Pyrrhia was located. 

It had taken them to relay eight weeks to fly here. "king Darkstalker," called a general, and the king turned to face him "we must rest now. We can't fly any longer," he said, his head held high, but Darkstalker could see in his thoughts that he was bringing to doubt why he had chosen to come here. Darkstalker sighed. "alright. Tell your comrades we're making camp here for tonight. We will strike and get back when the time is right, my mate. Understood?" the guard nodded and walked off, leaving Darkstalker alone in his tent.
