Cattail doesn't care that Clay is there and wants nothing to do with him. She tells him that she sold his egg to the Talons of Peace for some cows. She also tells him she has no clue who his father is. She doesn't care about Clay and informs him that this is normal for MudWing life. Cattail leaves them - Clay is crushed and Glory is furious. As Clay and Glory make their way out they overhear a SandWing asking after four dragonets. They realize they need to get out quick. As they go to leave though, someone calls out after them.
The dragonet calling out to him is a sibling of the missing egg. The whole group comes forward happy to have Clay back. They introduce Reed as their big wing, but then realize it should have been Clay. The big wing hatches first and helps the other siblings to hatch. The big wing is also the leader in battle. Clay's siblings are torn. He can see they want him to join them but they also fear losing Reed as their big wing - and Reed fears losing his place. Clay tells them that he is happy to have met them, but he has to stay with his friends. Glory pips up, saying that Clay is their big wing. Clay parts ways with his siblings, hopeful to see them again in his future.
The four dragonets talk over what to do next. Clay insists they have to find Starflight just as Morrowseer drops him off and flies away. Starflight says Morrowseer wouldn't let him return, giving the impression that there is something wrong in the NightWing kingdom. He also tells them that Morrowseer has no intention of returning them to the Talons of Peace since he is pretty upset with them right now. Clay feels they should go to the SeaWing kingdom next. He tells Starflight that Tsunami is Queen Coral's daughter. Starflight is shocked and excited. Tsunami is nervous but happy.
Morrowseer, Kestrel, and Blister meet on the side of a cliff. Kestrel can't hear what the other two are saying, but Morrowseer is telling Blister that it has been decided she will be the next queen. Blister is worried about the dragonets, but Morrowseer tells her that Starflight has his orders to see to it that this is the way it happens. Blister is thrilled that the dragonets have a traitor in their midst. Kestrel asks what is going on, screaming to be heard over the waves below. Morrowseer tells her that she has failed and is no longer needed. At that, Blister kills her. Morrowseer warns Blister that a dragon named Webs could ruin everything. Blister says she has no problem stopping Webs so long as she gets the throne.
Well that turned dark, quick. Clay's parents want nothing to do with him and his siblings have to let him go because it would hurt too much if he stayed. And now Morrowseer is trying to get Starflight to betray his friends. I certainly hope Starflight disappoints Morrowseer - but we will have to see. I am sure ultimately he will, but that doesn't mean he won't betray his friends at first.
And to be honest, I'm not sure any of the SandWing queens deserve the throne. They all seem cruel and greedy - through, the only one we have really met is Burn. It would be amusing if Sunny wound up queen in the end, but I have a feeling it will be a different SandWing we have not met yet.
