Meanwhile at Lumis' temple...
Zephyrus flew in and bowed deeply before Lumis. "What a surprise, you're actually early this time," Lumis muttered, throwing a catfish at Zephyrus. Zephyrus looked at the big catfish before him. His eyes darted up and down between Lumis and the fish.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygZzYyznZW
"Take it before I change my mind," Lumis growled.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Y3iagpZm
Zephyrus nodded quickly. "Y-yes sire. Thank you, sire."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhdV8VxrZf
Lumis watched as Zephyrus quickly grabbed the catfish and began eating. "What news do you bring?" Lumis demanded, his eyes narrowing.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ZxP6QMCH
Zephyrus swallowed a mouthful of fish and straightened up. "Winter has delivered the message to Solara," he began, his voice steady. "The travelers have been captured and are being held by the Snow and Frost Dragons. Winter is on his way back to ensure everything is in order."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR4Fbf2g9p
Lumis's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. "Excellent."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcUfDOc0gj
Zephyrus nodded, though his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the captured travelers. "What should we do next, sire? Should we prepare for the final phase of our plan?"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKxPqO3RR7
Lumis's expression turned contemplative. "Yes, but we must be cautious. The Dragon's Heart is within our grasp, but we cannot afford any mistakes. We must ensure that Solara does not disrupt our plans."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtBICsdipg
Zephyrus hesitated for a moment, then spoke up. "Sire, if I may suggest, perhaps we should send additional scouts to monitor the travelers' movements. Just in case they manage to escape."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGgoyb5slk
Lumis considered this for a moment before nodding. "Very well. Send the scouts."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQJElvpmuL
Zephyrus bowed deeply again. "At once, sire," he said, and with a final glance at Lumis, he turned and swiftly departed the temple.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEOKYFs2Mb
Lumis watched him go, his mind filled with thoughts of power and conquest. He knew the path ahead was fraught with danger and uncertainty, but the prize was worth the risk. The Dragon's Heart would make him unstoppable, and Solara's reign would end. The throne would be his.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRPP1qBqT2
In the silence of Lumis's temple, the embers of the hearth cast flickering shadows on the walls. Lumis paced, his mind racing with thoughts of conquest and strategy. Solara's underestimation of his cunning would be her downfall.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoxvKzT2lh
Meanwhile, Zephyrus flew back to his post, his heart heavy with the knowledge of the travelers' capture. He knew Lumis's plans were dangerous, and if they succeeded, Draconia would be plunged into darkness.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmE1I8uLV1
Back on the boat, the travelers and their dragon companions huddled together for warmth. Moss and Tiny Wings remained alert, their eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of danger.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1B0Z6OZps
Reef and Splash took turns at the helm, their eyes fixed on the Dragon's Tail constellation. The night wore on and the boat sailed steadily towards its destination. The stars overhead seemed to shine brighter, as if guiding the travelers on their quest.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9lxSwpGnZ
In the darkness, the sound of flapping wings echoed faintly. Unbeknownst to the travelers, Lumis's scouts were already on their trail, watching their every move with keen eyes.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9ZNis3nRO
Moss's senses tingled, and she turned to Tiny Wings. "We need to stay alert. I have a feeling we're being watched."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Pmxc1N55
Tiny Wings nodded, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and excitement. "But we'll be ready for anything."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweA3bIlyHE
The boat continued its journey through the night, each dragon and traveler holding onto their hopes and dreams. The Dragon's Heart awaited them, and with it, the power to change their fates. But as they sailed into the unknown, they knew that the true test of their strength and unity was yet to come.

The next morning, the sun rose gently over the horizon, casting a warm, golden light across the ocean. The travelers began to stir, yawning and stretching as they emerged from their makeshift sleeping arrangements. Frostbite accidentally whacked Aurora in the face with his wing.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcChk38Z5E
Aurora flared at Frostbite. "You did that on purpose!"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv38VWe9uP
"I did what on purpose?" Frostbite asked in confusion.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoAPc8rd76
Cole, still half-asleep, stumbled over a loose plank and nearly fell into the water. "Wha! Why does everything on this boat want to trip me?" he grumbled, steadying himself with a hand on the railing.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuPsEQ5sGH
Aurora chuckled, shaking her head. "Maybe it's just you, Coal."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph9aFTKygs
Tiny Wings fluttered over to Cole and perched on his shoulder. "Good morning, Coal! Did you have nice dreams?"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuFfK844Dc
Cole smiled, his mood brightening. "Yeah, I dreamt I was floating on a cload. No tripping involved."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj89kYyaqU
The others laughed, and Frostbite, who had taken to drying off on deck, added, "Maybe you should stick to dreaming, Coal. You're much safer there."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzdKKEaBDo
As the boat continued its journey, the group gathered for a quick breakfast. Reef and Splash had managed to catch some fresh fish, which they cooked over a small fire on the deck. Cole, attempting to help, nearly set his own sleeve on fire, but Elanor quickly put it out with a splash of water from her canteen.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg460ueZzW
"Thanks, Elanor," Cole said sheepishly. "Maybe I'll just stick to eating."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6myoZgLDWU
Reef looked up at the sky, then back at the horizon. "We should be getting close to the Crystal Caves. If we keep heading this way, we should see the entrance by midday."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hvU0czNiX
Tiny Wings flitted around the boat, her excitement palpable. "I can't wait to see the Crystal Caves! I've heard they're so beautiful."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHkxthCtZd
Moss smiled, watching her young friend. "They are. The crystals are said to glow with an inner light, making the whole cave sparkle."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHvYMiPcG2
Shadow, who had been keeping a silent watch, turned to the group. "We need to stay alery. Remember, we're not the only ones looking for the Dragon's Heart."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoB4lHFXoM
The sun climbed higher in the sky, the boat sailed steadily towards its destination and the sea sparkled under the bright light.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBNQPXzyNP
Eventually, they spotted a glimmer on the horizon. Reef pointed excitedly. "There! The entrance to the Crystal Caves!"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCGKVO7JNc
The boat approached the shore, and the travelers prepared to disembark. Cole, eager to get on solid ground, jumped off the boat too quickly and landed face-first in the sand.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHppgwDvgH
Everyone laughed as Cole sat up, spitting out a mouthful of sand. "I'm okay! Just testing the softness of the beach."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrWqwMFZXW
Reef extended a fin to help Cole up. "Come on, Coal. Let's go find that Dragon's Heart."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLETo6WufB
The group moved towards the cave entrance, the crystals sparkling invitingly in the sunlight. They were ready for the next leg of their adventure, united by their shared goals and the bonds they had formed along the way.
