Starflight and Morrowseer leave the room they were in, their talk done for now. Morrowseer leaves while Clay tries to find out what is going on from his friend. Starflight is upset, but is refusing to talk about it. But Clay does find out from him that Morrowseer says he will "deal" with Glory. Starflight thinks that means Glory will get to go home but privately Clay disagrees. The dragonets are supposed to be a secret, and Glory knows all about that secret. Just then they hear a commotion as Sunny is demanding loudly to know what is going on. Clay and the others find the guardians chaining up Tsunami. She fights back but Kestrel threatens to chain up her friends as well. The guardians go back to their room and Clay enters the pool of water to spy on them. He overhears them talking about how they have to kill Glory before Morrowseer returns the next day.
Clay reports back to the others. Sunny doesn't want to believe the truth and Glory keeps insisting it is fine if she dies so long as the others don't get hurt. However, in the end, it is agreed that everyone should escape. Tsunami admits that she has a plan, to enter the pool and follow the flow of water. Clay has to do it now since he is the only other dragon who can swim and hold his breath underwater. Glory, meanwhile, shows off her ability to blend in with the rocks and hide.
Clay follows the current. He passes through a couple of underground caverns where he is able to catch his breath but he really can't see anything because he doesn't have night vision. The last cavern he enters he loses consciousness after some leech like creatures attack him.
Clay wakes up to find Tsunami rinsing some white stuff that was hurting him off of his scales. She tells him that between Sunny and Starflight they were able to get their fire hot enough to melt the chains so Tsunami could escape. They follow the current of the river and escape, coming out through a hole in the rock and Clay flies for the first time.
Clay sees Tsunami struggling to fly. One of her wings are not working correctly. He goes over and helps her the best that he can, the two of them crash landing. As they recover they hear something racing through the forest towards them.
Okay, so this story just got a lot better. I knew something bad was going to happen because the story line was just too dark, but I can't believe they actually decided to kill Glory. At least Clay and Tsunami were able to find a way to escape, and I am sure they will get their friends out next. Glory won't actually die and everyone will go on an adventure, but I am curious what this adventure will be.
However, I do want to know what was said between Morrowseer and Starflight. I have a bad feeling about that meeting...
