Peril POV

Clay writhed in agony from the dragonbite viper's poison. She flew towards him as fast as she could. But when she reached, she already knew it was too late.

The screaming had stopped. And Clay lay still. Not even his chest was moving. He wasn't breathing.

Everyone stayed silent. A dragonet of destiny.... Dead. The silence was only broken by the sobs.

Some MudWings who looked a lot like Clay, held each other as they cried hysterically. The other dragonets stared down at his body and sobbed. Starflight, who was blind but could tell what had happened, was trying to hold back tears. But Sunny, Glory, and Tsunami were crying without shame. And he buried his head into the shoulder of a NightWing right next to him and cried. She patted his wing while tears ran down her face.

The war was over.

But that day, Peril lost something. She lost everything.

Because Clay had been her everything.
