Remus’s idea but it could wait. Tavis would probably be excited that he got to meet someone from another world.
    Troy put all of that from his mind as he flew wing-to-wing with his mirror image. They were racing to the edge of the world. They hadn’t done in many nights. Troy was going to win this time. He usually pulled up before crashing into the hard edge of the horizon but this time he wouldn’t. Either Tavis would pull up or they were going to hit the edge.
    Troy raced ahead at full speed. Great yellow fish jumped out of the water as he passed. The school was following his path just under the surface of the water. He could see the hundreds of fish swimming in a crazy formation as he flew the same path. The end was coming. The fish swimming ahead were descending as they got close to the blurry end. Some jumped out of the water and actually touched the wall. He looked at Tavis, daring him to keep going.
    They were just feet from the wall when Tavis pulled up. Troy had won! He followed Tavis up the edge of the wall into the sky. They flew into the clouds dancing around each other. Tavis flew hard and then banked on a wind gust. They were over Blackfire. Children waved as they flew overheard.
    Troy roared loud enough to shake the mortar in between the bricks of the castle. The pair flew until they hit the artificial wall put up by Lena’s sister. It made Troy angry. There were miles more for them to fly beyond her wall. She had no right to lock them away from their land. He shot a green flame toward the wall and dodged out of the way when it came screeching back at him. Her wall went all the way up the barrier in the sky. There was no way around.
    Tavis led him away from the wall and back toward the beach. They flew over the black sand bobbing and weaving around each other. It was dangerous to be so close to the ground but Troy trusted his brother. They had never run into each before.
    A scream cut across the beach and broke their fun dance. Troy pulled up to get a better view. Tavis touched down on the beach and he twisted his long neck until he was looking behind him. Seeing nothing, Tavis took to the air with Troy. They went further up the beach until they heard the scream again. It was definitely a woman and she was very frightened.
    The twin dragons followed the sound until Tavis broke away. Troy followed but he didn’t see what Tavis saw. His brother hit the ground and went into the woods. Trees flew up around him. There was more screams and then the trees lit up in green flames. Tavis backed out of forest and took to the air again.
    Troy didn’t follow right away. There was something in the air. It was just like on the beach when he first saw Lena. He stood his ground as sand swirled under his claws. The green flames flicked out and three figures emerged from the trees. A man and woman with blue hair flanked a beautiful black haired woman. He had to look twice. For a moment, he was sure he was staring at Hera. But no, this woman wasn’t the Eternal Sun Queen. Whoever she was, she was just as beautiful.
    She screeched when she saw Troy. “You!”
    She hurled a bolt of lightening from her hands. It hit Troy just above his heart. Pain shot through his chest. He roared and opened his mouth to burn the woman alive. Whoever she was, she meant to do him harm. The green flame left his mouth but before it reached her, the woman put up her hand. The flames hit the air around her but didn’t touch her or her companions. It was just like when Lena had saved him and his group.
    He stopped trying to burn the woman and took to the air too. He flew around the forest and the beach but he didn’t see Tavis. He went closer to the castle and caught sight of his brother in human form. Troy dived for the ground and transformed before he hit the dirt with a light thud.
    “Did you see that woman?!” he asked Tavis excited. “She used the same magic as Lena.”
    “That must be the sister.” A shaky voice said.
    Troy looked
