Chapter 25
Reign lifted Astra with her four paws and flapped her wings. They went out into the sky and disappeared behind large clouds.
“How long will we have to wait?” Pax huffed.
“Probably not long,” Prince replied.
Ridley was silent. For the whole time he was in this group, he stayed mainly to himself. A loner. Before he ever was Shadow, he was open. And joyful. A sweet, handsome wolf who was loyal. But.. now he doesn’t think there’s anything for him. His family.. is gone. Adira.. is evil. His brother.. Ridley doesn’t know his location. His world was destroyed.. ripped apart.. by the person he trusted most. So how could he ever trust anyone else?

Astra felt odd with no ground beneath her paws. She was getting dizzy up so high in the air, and there was not as much oxygen.
“Are we there yet?” She managed to say.
“Closer,” Reign said, as something whirled toward them.
“Ack!” Reign flew and dodged, but her grip on Astra weakened.
“What was that??!” Astra yelped nervously.
“Not sure..” Reign said. “And here it comes again!!”
Reign rolled, flapping her wings frantically in the sky.
Astra finally got a look at the attacker. And it was beautiful. A glimmering crystal wyvern. It was a light purple that shone in the sun, and its wings were like a rainbow, changing pastel colors. A tropical wyvern.
Astra knew the legends. She wasn’t sure why, but she did. In a faraway place, the wyverns dwell. In solitude. A whole different place.
“It’s a wyvern!” She yelped.
Reign screeched suddenly as the wyvern flew by, shooting water out of its mouth. The water was so fast it felt like daggers stabbing Reign’s wings.
Astra fell out of Reign’s grasp. Reign groaned and they both starting falling, the wyvern headed straight for them.

Pax, Prince, and Ridley were getting impatient.
“Where are they?” Prince thought out loud.
Ridley curled his tail around his body as he sat and looked away as usual.
Pax saw something flash in the sky.
“What is that?”
Ridley gave an annoyed huff.
Pax gave a side eye to him. “Do you know what’s happening?”
Ridley turned. “Don’t you know? All of the islands are near each other. It’s probably something from Fjordur or Ragnarok.”
Prince looked up to see multiple winged creatures flying. “Huh..”
And Ridley looked up. “Crystal wyverns.. they never leave their island, Crystal Isles. This can only mean one thing.”
Pax and Prince looked at him.
Ridley spoke in a soft voice. “Say hello to the new humans of The Island.”
Have I ever mentioned this story is on The Island? I don’t think so. Anyways, I can’t really do anything about the Ark lore, because I haven’t finished the island or played any other story maps, and I haven’t watched the videos (busy week, and I forgot.) so that’s why all of the Ark maps are on one planet.. and it would help with a crystal wyvern being there.

Ps. The wyvern is attacking Astra and Reign because it isn’t wild..
