                CHAPTER 13 FEATHER

                Feather struggled to see through the fern, he hoped Flint and Rock-Slinger were ok. Flint seemed strange, but she was still up and fighting, and Rock had just vanished. But Star-Fighter and Katana were struggling to fight the invisible dragonets, and each blow from the dragonets were to Katana. “How ‘bout we have a real fight instead of fighting cowards who won’t even show there faces?!” Katana yelled, but giggling only followed. “oh, she’s a fighter alright!” hissed one of the dragonets “no wonder they sent Diamond to get her!” said another, how many were there? “If she wants a real fight, I’ll give her a real fight!” Katana was knocked off balance before a dragonet turned visible. The female dragonet had pears, Topaz diamonds, and opals covering her white scaly body, She had the body of a wavern and a whip thin tail with four spikes at the end. “Oh dear, Opal’s goin’to get her eye scratched again” one of the still invisible dragonets declared, “shut your muzzle!” Opal demanded, then without another word or warning Opal smashed Katana with her tail. Katana spread her wings to stop herself before she hit a stone, then dashed at Opal, slicing her wing then her already wounded eye. Opal shrieked an awful, angry shriek, then dug her spike like claw into Katana’s wing. Katana held her scream in and sliced the dragonets believed weak spot, her eye, and dashed under her, giving Opal a deep scratch on the under belly. That’s when Opal turned invisible, grunting and panting, she wasn’t able to keep her concentration on her scales. All they were able to see was a ghost like dragon shoot into the sky, leaving her fellow dragonets. “Who’s next?” Katana asked, no answer fallowed, “er…” Star said, padding around the clearing “where’s Rock?!” Feather pushed through the bush, “Rock?!?” he yelled, then he saw Katana “Katana you need herbs!” he gasped. Katana looked at her wounded wing then said “I hate to admit, but, I think I do…” She started to wobble and Feather dashed over to her, her wing nearly had a hole strait through it and it was spilling blood on the grassy floor. Feather searched through his packs and found the balm he had brought, he snuck it into the pack without Clover-Paw, his mentor, noticing. He smeared the balm on her wound then put moss on it, Katana let out a tiny wince before Feather rapped it with a white cloth. “better?” he asked and to his surprise Katana muttered “thanks…” before padding over to a patch of moss, tugging it out and spreading it on the floor creating a bed. “Hey guys, Flint needs help” Star said next to Flint, who was tugging on her beak. Feather padded over and to his surprise it wasn’t her beak she was tugging on, she had some kind of metal bond on her beak and was ferociously trying to tug it off. Then she started pointing to a bolder, Star and Feather cocked there heads, Flint slapped her face in annoyance. She picked up a rock and pointed at it, then pointed to the bolder again. “wait” Katana said padding up to them, she grabbed hold of Flints beak and dug her claws into a crack in the bond, it made a snap and then fell of. “THEY TOOK HIM THAT WAY!!!” Flint yelled and launched into the air, the other’s fallowed.
