dressed, and went for breakfast. Her black hair was in a mess, and she still had dirt smeared on

her face from the falling yesterday. Just as she was pouring her milk, a knock came to the door. It

was her and Misty's secret knock. She grinned and walked over to the door. She opened it to find

Misty's distraught face. Shocked, she pulled her inside. "Misty, what's wrong?" Her concern

showing in her voice.

"I don't know. I felt sick this morning. I think it's that decision. It's taking a toll on my mind and

body." Luna's hazel eyes widened. This must be intense for her. She thought. She knew that she

would do anything for the land of the south, after all, her parents had fought for it, but as for

Misty, who was doing it on faith, she wasn't so sure. She put an arm around her best friend,

trying to comfort her.

"I'll do it." Came Misty's voice through the silence that had elapsed. Luna looked up. "Are you

sure? You don't have to do it." Her friend nodded. "I thought about what you said. Besides, how

would I live if you weren't here? It would be boring without watching you get yourself in

trouble, pulling pranks, and-" Misty was cut short by Luna pulling her into a hug. "Thank you so

much Misty!" She smiled.

"So. What's our game plan?

We can't just walk in. They probably have guards posted everywhere."

Luna stopped to think. Suddenly an idea came to mind. "What if you put them to sleep using

magic?" Misty stared at her for a second. "Why can't you? You're an elf so it should be easy."

Luna looked down. It had been 10 years of continuous magic training, and she was still only

capable of small spells that only lasted a few seconds.

Suddenly, Misty caught on. "Oh...sorry. I guess you are right. The disappearance of the dragons

has affected our magic. Even mine is weaker."



Luna nodded, thankful for her friend's comfort. "I think we need to use today for gathering

supplies. Will you meet me at our hideout tonight, after dark?

Misty agreed, and left to pack. Luna got up and looked out her window. She knew she would

leave Kunon some day, but never this soon. She sighed and started packing her things.

10 hours later:

Luna had just finished packing her clothes, supplies, and had gone around to the various shops

collecting maps and other traveling necessities. Stop looking over your shoulder. No one is

following you! She told herself. Her paranoia was growing with every hour. Finally, she stopped

in front of her apartment, only to see Misty waiting with her own pack.

"Hey." Misty greeted. The sun was beginning to set into the horizon, lined with pine trees.

Luna grinned. Tonight was the night. "Ok. Let's go."

Luna and Misty snuck through the dark streets, dodging guards and people closing up their shops

to head home. A cold breeze swept through the village, giving it almost an ominous feeling.

Luna shuddered. If they were caught tonight, it would be the end of both of them. A sudden

wave of guilt hit her. She had dragged Misty into all of this. She could only imagine Medwin's

reaction when he found out. She continued to sneak along the streets next to Misty, who like

luna, was dressed in all black, along with a black cloak hiding their faces. Even if they were seen

stealing the eggs but got away, then no one know who stole them. Of course, soon someone

would realize Misty and Luna's disappearance, but by then it would be too late. They would have

left Kunon and hopefully have reached the city that lay 15 miles to the South, Abilio.

"We're here," Misty whispered, nodding her head to the council building. Attached to the large



building was the town treasury, where the last dragon egg was held. She remembered when she

had first seen then, all three of them, when she was 3. White, orange, and black. Unfortunately

10 years ago the orange and black ones had fallen and cracked. Only the white one remained.

Luna crept toward the door. Her head snapped up as Misty pulled her behind a large woven

bushel. A guard had just walked around the corner. "Slytha." Luna heard Misty murmur. A pang

of hurt came through her mind, but disappeared as quickly as it came. Instantly the guard fell

asleep. Stepping over the sleeping body, they opened the door and snuck inside. They both

gasped instantaneously. The room was beautiful. It was covered in gold pieces and jewelry, lined

with glittering rubies, sparkling sapphires, and dazzling emeralds. Luna was disgusted. The

council had complained that the city's economy was failing. They said there wasn't enough

revenue. Here, they were obviously wrong. Suddenly, her eyes fell to the middle of the room, to

something lying on a large stone podium. She gasped. Misty was standing next to it, marveling at

its beauty. There, lying on a white silk pillow, was a beautiful ivory egg. It was absolutely

resplendent. She walked over quickly to the podium, opening her Aunt's hand made pull over

bag. She carefully placed the egg in it, among the cushion of her clothes.

"Come on Misty. We need to leave before someone gets here." Misty nodded, and walked over

to open the door. Suddenly, the door burst open and a blast of light filled the room.

They'd been caught.
