Glory and Jambu are brought straight to the queen while Glory tries to figure a way out of this mess. Blaze is a bit empty headed so Glory decides to tell her that the dragonets are here to meet with her. Blaze is excited and wants to invite them for a feast. Knowing they will probably just wind up prisoners again Glory tells her no. Jambu suggests leaving right now to meet the dragonets so Glory convinces Blaze to leave the safety of her fortress with them - and without her guards. Mangrove is in the throne room and Jambu spots him. After Jambu collects their hidden friend they leave. They fly to their group and drop their disguises. Blaze is thrilled to meet a real RainWing and seems to know nothing about the missing dragons. Glory introduces the dragonets and Blaze to each other.
Blaze is confused as to Glory being their SkyWing. The dragonets question her, asking why she should be queen. Her answers are pretty empty headed. She talks about how nice she is and how Glaicer will continue to secure her throne after she wins the war. Sunny sneaks in a question about curing SandWing poison and Blaze tells her there is a cactus that grows everywhere in the desert that cures it. Deathbringer crashes their conversation. He chides Glory for not telling him the truth that morning. Glory counters that he is there is kill her. He says it doesn't have to be her that he kills and then attacks Blaze, seriously wounding her. Clay attacks Deathbringer but is knocked off. Glory attacks, wanting to know why he tried to kill Blaze. Deathbringer admits he isn't there for Blaze, just some of the dragonets, but he figured he might as well take the opportunity since it presented itself. He also says that if they let him kill Blaze he will let them escape. As Deathbringer and Glory fight, Starflight admits that this is his fault since he was ordered to convince the others to pick Blister and he didn't. Wing beats fill the air and everyone sees Glaicer and her guards in the distance.
Blaze wants the dragonets to stay and meet Glacier but they refuse. They let Deathbringer leave then escape themselves. Before going Glory tries to give some advice to Blaze, but Blaze finds it hilarious that a RainWing is trying to give her advice and doesn't listen. As they fly away Tsunami asks Glory why she didn't use her venom on Deathbringer. Glory hedges, saying she really didn't feel like Deathbringer was trying to kill her. They then talk about the NightWings trying to kill some of them. Tsunami speculates it is because like all the other tribes, the NightWings too want the prophecy to work out a certain way. They get back to the hole but it is gone, buried under the sand. As they dig it out Sunny gets the cactus they need. They travel through the hole back to the rainforest where they find Mangrove. Glory assures him they intend to find the missing dragons and will resume watching the hole to see what happens.
Glory and Tsunami watch the hole that night. They hear something approaching but cannot make out what it is. Then they hear someone else whistling, which scares away the first thing they heard. They attack the one who is whistling and discover it is Deathbringer. He pretends innocence at being in the RainWing forest. Glory asks if he is a mind reading NightWing. He responds by saying she is thinking about how good looking he is. That answer is too close for comfort so she instead asks if he is still going to kill her. Deathbringer gets quiet and says he is trying to find an alternative, but it is not his call. A plan comes to Glory and she gets Tsunami to help her tie Deathbringer up. Glory offers to watch Deathbringer for now and tells Tsunami to send Clay to relieve her. Once Tsunami leaves Glory works on her plan. Deathbringer realizes what she is thinking right away and tries to talk her out of it. But Glory is determined and tells him she intends to use herself as bait.
Glory leaves Clay with a tied up and gagged Deathbringer. She then leaves to try and get captured. Someone sneaks up on her and knocks her unconscious. She wakes up with a sack over her head in what she thinks is the tunnel. Only when they reach a room she realizes this is a different tunnel - but identical. She realizes her captors are dragons and they are taking orders from Deathbringer.
Blaze is clearly not meant to be queen. Burn and Blister were awful and cruel while Blaze is a fool. None of them are fit to be queen. I am starting to wonder if maybe Sunny is going to be queen. It clearly isn't going to be one of the sisters and Sunny is the only other SandWing we have met.
Deathbringer clearly knew what was going on with the tunnels. He got to the rainforest far too quickly, he sent away the "monster" Glory and Tsunami were tracking (nice touch with the dragonet song), and he freaked out when Glory said she intended to use herself as bait. His panic over that last one - as well as his admittance that he was looking for a loophole to spare her life - has me sure that his feelings for Glory are real.
Lastly, it was foolish of Glory to go off on her own. And now she is captured by the NightWings - which is quite possibly the worst tribe to be captured by. I'm sure their contingency plans have contingency plans, to quote Bruce Willis. I wonder what is it they want the RainWings for?
