I was happy for Sky. She had found her brother and he seemed somewhat interested in coming along with us to find Seth and Kovu. I still had a bad feeling we were being set up, but I didn't want to spoil anyone's excitement. Io was grinning from ear-to-ear and Kara had a smirk on her face which I couldn't just take away from them. So, I stayed quiet and walked close by Ariel and Lucy. Dani and Gray were also nearby, but a little behind us. About that time I heard something unusual from above that startled me, "Look out below!" the voice called. It was a black hawk, how unusual. She had a cat in her claws which I soon recognized as David. After they landed they both changed to human form like the rest of us. She smiled and sort of cocked her head to the side and said, "Name's Sora you guys! I'm here to tag along! Hope you all don't mind!"

"So are you the one Dus-David told me could help us?" Sky stumbled on her brother's name. "Yeah, she'll be helpful to us," David almost grumbled. "After all, she can fly." Io blinked almost hurt and exclaimed, "Hey, I can fly too kid! I'm a dragon!" Great, more tensions, I thought, just what our group needs. "S-so," I began softly, "Center Valley is this way right?" "Yeah, if we follow this trail we should be there around midnight," Sora explained. She seemed to know the area, so I didn't question her too much.

We walked for what seemed like ages. My legs were aching by the time we got to what everyone else called a "quick rest stop". I collapsed on a nearby rock and panted a little. Realizing I needed water in order to stay hydrated, I looked at Io who was standing nearby and said, "I-I'll be right back, gonna go get some water." "Ok," she smiled. I began to stumble my way through some woods until I found a little stream. I bent down, changing to a foxcoon, and lapped up seemingly a gallon of water. Then I heard rustling in the woods. Was someone coming to check on me? I hadn't been gone very long, they shouldn't be worried. I turned around and instead of seeing one of my friends I saw an ugly boy with his face kind of twisted into what I thought was a smile. "Well lookie here, a half-er," he snickered. I began to panic. I was alone, but so was he. Could I take him by myself or should I just run? The boy picked up a large rock and took his aim. I tried to run, but the next thing I knew I blacked out.
