After Glory had told her story, it was Kestrel's turn.

"So, I guess I need to start with why I treated you the way I did," Gory nodded, "Uhm... there's really no excuse, but I guess it was because you reminded me so much of myself, you're sarcastic, & smart, & loyal, & brave. I guess you also remind me of how I always imagined my dragonets acting, as well. It also kinda... scared me, losing you & the dragonets the same way I lost my own.

"As for how I'm alive? You can thank Sunny's son for that. Kid's an animus! So now, how about you introduce me to everyone?"

"I guess, but just remember not to try anything, okay? Deathbringer's a trained assassin," to prove Glory's point, said NightWing threw a disc, which cut the stem of a single fruit, as close to the fruit itself as possible, causing it to land directly in his wife's talons.

The trio of dragons leaped off of the platform & flew to a hut with red berries outside, with different colored dragons going in & out. When they entered, Kestrel saw that this is the healing center. She looked to the corner of the room to see Firefly on a cot, insisting that she was perfectly fine.

"You've met Firefly," the queen spoke, "Apparently her cousins don't know she's back yet,"

They then flew to a clearing to find a pink dragon speaking to what appeared to be a class. There are dragons of all ages, NightWings & RainWings alike, but there were four-no, five-dragons who stood out from the others: the first one Kestrel noticed was a tattooed SandWing standing beside the teacher, raising her tail menacingly. In the front of the class were two identical dragons, sandy coloration, prehensile tails with dangerous barbs on the ends, SandWing frills down their backs, mischievous glints in their green eyes, the only difference between the two was that one's RainWing-like frill was blue, while the other's was the same pink as the teacher of the class. Another dragon who stood out was a young male with a NightWing build & RainWing coloration & markings. The dragon who stood out the least was a male, a couple years older than the identical males at the front, he looked like a NightWing at first glance, but whenever he ruffled his wings, the scales underneath would flash all different colors.

When they landed, the teacher, alongside all of the strange dragons, except for the NightWing with rainbow stars, came bounding over.

"Kestrel, these are my brother, Jambu"- Glory gestured to the teacher- "his wife, Rattlesnake"- the SandWing- "Their twin sons, Anaconda,"- blue frill- "& Python"- pink frill- "& my son, Macaw.

"Guys, this is one of the dragons who raised me."

"Hi!" The RainWing called happily.

"'Sup?" Rattlesnake asked casually.

"Hello," the twins greeted her in union.

"Hey!" The prince spoke cheerfully.

"Hi..." Kestrel greeted uneasily.

"So... we should get going," Deathbringer said before remembering something, "Oh yeah, Ana, Py, Firefly just got back, she's in the healing center."

The twins darted off as Kestrel, Glory & Deathbringer flew off once again.
