the brightest night: part four

Sunny convinces her mother to let her try and burn the lock off. She does so successfully. Thorn finds a paper in the library with her name on it. It is a letter from Stonemover asking her to meet him at Jade Mountain. Sunny points out that Stonemover never abandoned Thorn, but Thorn is furious that he never tried to reach out to her again. They escape and meet up with the Outclaws. Sunny tells her mother that she has to return to her friends.

Unable to reach the tunnel, Sunny goes to the mountains. A bad rainstorm causes her to take shelter so she heads for Jade Mountain. She follows a tunnel and finds her father. He is slowly turning to stone because he turned his animus magic against himself. He and Sunny talk and the conversation turns to the prophecy. She tells him she always thought she looked odd because of the prophecy, not because she was half NightWing. Confused, Stonemover tells her that the prophecy isn't real.

Stonemover realizes Sunny does know the truth. She tells him maybe Morrowseer was lying, however Stonemover tells her he was there when the prophecy was made up. She stays the night with him and dreams of Flower. She and Flower end up in another area (the burned out village) with a different scavenger who has a dreamvisitor. Sunny realizes she might be able to find the missing treasure with this scavenger.

Sunny goes to the village and waits until the scavenger from her dream arrives. She does, with another scavenger. Sunny captures them and is able to explain through a series of motions and drawings on the ground that she wants the treasure. The scavengers give it to her but the Eye of Onyx isn't there.

Sunny leaves the scavengers (even though she wants to keep them as pets) returns to the rainforest and heads to Starflight. She waits for all her friends to arrive before telling her story. She is a little a jealous of Fatespeaker, but she tries to let it go.

Sunny's father is a bit of a sad character, and Sunny feels he wallows in his personal drama a bit too much, but despite this she actually did pretty good in the parent department. Her parents want and love her. They aren't psychos who want to use her. All in all she did good.

On a different note, I can't wait to see how her friends react to the adventure she went on without them!!! Also, how are they supposed to end this war. I don't see a solution. Sunny's egg "hidden alone from the rival queens" always implied to me that maybe she was royal too. But this isn't the case. So if Sunny isn't going to be queen, and none of the other queens are worthy, and Smolder can't inherit the throne - how will the war end and who will be queen?
