____________________________________________
[scene begins with Reela landing on the outskirts of the Fire Sector, looking at the giant mountain ahead. She's lying between the tall grasses, watching dragons flying away from the kingdom. She sees a few SkyWings and SandWings arriving with giant containers]
[Reela stands, picking up the bag next to her and strapping them on her back. She opens her wings, flying over to the sector. She descends on the landing zone, looking around and seeing many dragons walking up and down the streets]
[later, Reela arrives at the entrance of the mountain. As she approaches the entrance, she grabs the strap on her bag, holding it tightly, and walking past the guards as discreetly as possible. Inside the mountain, she looks up, seeing many SkyWings, SandWings, and MudWings flying up to different levels of the place]
[Reela lifts into the air, flying to the very top, where she approaches the hall. She walks past the statue of Sorra, making her way into the hall and finding many dragons. She is approached by a SandWing]
BRIGHT: Hi, what can I do to help you today- whoa, you are not a Talon.
REELA: Hey, hey, do me a favor and keep quiet about this. Yes, I'm not a Talon, but I need you to help me with this. I need to speak with whoever is in charge of this place. They know who I'm talking about.
BRIGHT: SkyWing, I-I can't, this isn't-
REELA: Please. This is urgent.
[Bright sighs, thinking for a moment before nodding in approval. She raises her talon and signals for Reela to follow after her as she leads her across the hall. The two dragons make their way over to the throne room, where they meet Anwa, who's having a conversation with Kvisha]
BRIGHT: [to Anwa] Your Majesty. There's someone here who would like to speak with you. She claims that she knows... [exhales] Aeris the SkyWing.
ANWA: The SkyWing with the NightWing?
REELA: Yes, yes, that's them. I need to know where they're heading if they've even been here.
ANWA: Yeah, I know him. He left her many days ago. [dismisses Kvisha, who nods and walks to the other side of the room] He came back, asked for a few things, and left.
REELA: Great. That's perfect. Do you know where he's going? Did he tell you anything? Any clues, hints, you know, the things that-
ANWA: [extends her talon in front of her] Slow down, SkyWing. I may have an idea where he's heading, but it's not exact. Another option is that he could've been blown off course.
REELA: No, I don't believe he would. [pauses] Listen, ma'am, Aeris is doing something he has no idea of. He could be heading-
ANWA: I'm pretty sure he does. He told me about it, and I believe he would. [looks away] Maybe it's you who doesn't, maybe you're wrong about what he can or can't... non-Talons.
REELA: I used to be in the Talons.
ANWA: [deadpan] That's great.
REELA: You helped Aeris, and he wasn't in the Talons. I just need you to help me out here.
