Magnificent misunderstands Glory at first, thinking she wants a turn being queen. Glory tells her no, she wants to take the throne. Magnificent doesn't understand how this is possible. Glory tells her most tribes fight to the death. Magnificent is horrified at this suggestion, feeling it is barbaric. Glory counters that leaving RainWings to die as prisoners in the NightWing kingdom is barbaric. An old dragon named Handsome speaks up with an ancient tradition to determine queen by contest. Glory agrees and Magnificent demands a day to determine what the contest should be. Handsome says it is traditional so Glory agrees. Magnificent names Handsome the judge of the contest and they leave. Outside Glory finds a couple dozen dragons that Coconut has rounded up. She is disappointed at the turn out but she also knows this news will spread fast. Kinkajou speaks up, saying how this will be a good thing because now they will have a real queen who will save their missing tribe mates. The other dragons are unsure but then Glory speaks and tells the dragons she isn't doing this so she can have the best sun time spot in the village but so that no other dragon will be taken away.
Glory tells Kinkajou to bring Mangrove to her, then she goes over to the healer's hut. While there she admits to Starflight and Sunny that she is challenging Magnificent for the throne. Starflight and Sunny are shocked, but Glory insists it is the only way to rescue the missing dragons. Starflight says maybe he should speak to his tribe before they attack and ask them to return the RainWings. Glory points out that they have the RainWings tied up and are stealing their venom - clearly they don't care about doing the right thing. She realizes that the healers are eavesdropping and there are hidden dragons outside of the hut listening in too. Sunny realizes Glory will have to kill Magnificent but Glory tells her they have a way of taking the throne that doesn't involve killing. Sunny is thrilled by this news and feels all the tribes should adopt it. Glory and Starflight are skeptical but Sunny points out that there could be rules and maybe it would make the tribes happier. Glory realizes, aloud, that being happy isn't everything. She realizes you also have to believe in something and be willing to fight for it. Kinkajou and Mangrove arrive to begin Glory's training.
Mangrove and Kinkajou give Glory a crash course in everything RainWing, then they insist she sleep during sun time. Glory argues against this, feeling she needs to train as much as possible. They point out that she also needs to rest. Realizing she is exhausted, she agrees. She lays down then opens her eyes to find Queen Scarlet standing before her.
At first Glory thinks Scarlet is really there, but then she realizes it is an image. As Scarlet moves and talks Glory can see her horribly disfigured face behind the projected image of her original face. Scarlet tells her that she is still alive and that she is talking to her with the use if a dreamvisitor. Scarlet tries attacking Glory but since she isn't actually there it doesn't work. Scarlet wants Glory to find her and free her or else she will kill her. Glory points out that Scarlet probably wants to kill her anyway so no she won't help. When Glory tries to find out who is keeping her prisoner, Scarlet refuses to say since Glory won't help her. Scarlet leaves as suddenly as she appeared. Glory wakes up full of questions.
The competition is at the arboretum. Glory has questions for Starflight but they have to wait since it is time for her competition. Plus, he and Clay are guarding the tunnel while Tsunami and Sunny have joined her. All the tribe has turned out to watch them. Magnificent arrives with her fellow queens, all of whom look furious. She announces she has decided on five competitions so that way she can include her fellow queens since it is their throne that is under attack as well. This means Glory has to pick four helpers. Glory realizes it is a trick and Magnificent expects her to pick her friends. Glory also realizes she cannot win the throne with the help of outsiders, she must show faith in her own tribe. Glory picks Kinkajou and Mangrove easily. She also picks Jambu, who is absolutely thrilled. She isn't sure who to pick for the fourth dragon. She thinks on the other other RainWings she knows, but that is Liana, Bromeliad, and Coconut - none of whom she can trust. She names Tamarin, knowing only that she is friends with Kinkajou. This choice amuses Magnificent. Kinkajou tries to have Glory change her choice but Magnificent won't let her. It is then revealed that Tamarin is blind.
So Queen Scarlet is alive? And trapped somewhere? I wonder what is going on there. My money is on another NightWing plot. Why are they so interested in making this war turn out the way they want? And what do the captured RainWings have to do with this?
