Chapter 11: Silverlost, the silver dragon

Fireblade, Comet, and Calico reached the village with the captured dragon. "Where is the captured silver dragon? Isn't she supposed to be here?" Comet asked, whispering into Calico's ear. "She should be here." Calico whispered back. "We should ask around." Fireblade whispered. "Yeah!" Comet and Calico agreed. They went up to a tortoiseshell. "Hey, have you seen a silver dragon that's been captured? She's here in this village." Fireblade asked. "Yes, yes. See the place that's far away? It has smoke billowing from the top. And a lot of it! Once you see that, you know that's where the silver dragon with green eyes is." The catrea said. "Thank you!" Fireblade said.



They walked to the building that was far away. They got to it, and they saw a lot of smoke billowing from it. There were two guards at the entrance. "What business do you have here?" The guard on the left said. Fireblade didn't say anything; he just lunged at the guard and knocked him out. He knocked out the other one, and pushed open the door. "We've got to hurry! I didn't hit them hard enough, so they'll wake up quickly." Fireblade said. "Well, you could shut the door..." Comet suggested. "JUST CLOSE THE DOOR, FIREBLADE!!!" Calico screamed. Fireblade shut the doors quickly. Then they locked. "Shoot! When we save the dragon, how're we supposed to leave?" He asked. "I don't know." Comet shrugged. "Dragons have immense strength. She can probably rush through the door." Calico said. "Let's leave already!" Comet complained. Then, all of a sudden, the lights went out. "Darn destiny!" Fireblade cursed, "How are we supposed to find the dragon? I mean, you can't even see in this darkness!"

"You use your paws to feel around. If you feel a space, or a door, go through it. I've been here before; there are three halls, so we'd better split up." Calico said. Fireblade nodded. He kept one paw on the wall.

Jeez, this is hard. He thought. He kept on walking, and then he felt a space. Fireblade went into the space. When he got into the space, his eyes adjusted to the darkness. It was becoming clear. Fireblade took his paw off the wall. He started walking. He got to the corner, and turned his head to the north. It was so bright, that it gave him a headache. Fireblade pricked his ears, trying to hear and see if Comet had found the dragon. Not yet. Comet, you always find what we need. Just hurry up and yowl already. He thought. But the light; it was mystifying. Fireblade walked towards the light.

There was a wire fence. Fireblade walked towards the fence. He looked up and saw a silver dragon with green eyes. "Hello. What are you doing here?" She asked. "You'll find out." Fireblade said. He climbed on the fence and dropped down on the other side. "What is your name?" He asked. "My name is Silverlost. What is your name?" the dragon asked. "My name is Fireblade." Fireblade replied. He yowled as loud as he could. "What are you yowling for?!" Silverlost snapped. "I'm saving you, Silverlost. I have two other friends in the building, and yowling is the only way for them to find you. There was a black out in there." Fireblade explained. Calico and Comet quickly appeared. "Follow me, Silverlost!" Fireblade ran to the gate. He climbed over the fence, and Silverlost charged at the wire fence. It shattered easily. They dashed through the hallways and out the front door. Silverlost butted her head into the door and it fell down. She hit the guards with her tail and said, "This is what you get for capturing me!"

They dashed from the place. Fireblade reached the village first. When everyone caught up to him, Silverlost fell down. "You okay, Silverlost?" Fireblade asked. "Yeah. I'm just tired, that's all." Silverlost replied. The village gathered around Fireblade, Comet, Calico, and Silverlost. "You... you've returned! And better yet, you saved the silver dragon. So, if you could stay and... er, let us celebrate your return with the silver dragon safe." The tortoiseshell catrea said.

The celebration was long, and Fireblade sat at one corner the whole time. Finally, the party was over. Fireblade stood up and left. The others followed him.

And that's it! For now. There really isn't 11 chapters, but I'm just lazy. Well, anyways, read the book Exiled By Starlight! It, rocks, I'm serious. Well, good bye!
