(Autumn's POV)
A new energy surged through her, and Autumn took off, crashing through the undergrowth.
Soon she could see and hear the village, and she slowed down.
Autumn sat, puffing, in the tree Hopeseeker had first shown her the Nightwing village.
As she surveyed the village, she spotted a dragonet that she could probably ask where Hopeseeker's hut was.
She flew quietly as possible down to the dragonet, who noticed her immediately.
Autumn jumped in surprise as what she THOUGHT had been a NightWing turned blue with curiosity.
"Hi there!" The dragonet yelped. "I'm Sightseer! What's your name?"
"Um..." Autumn had no words. "Autumn."
Should I have told her that? Can I trust her?
Sightseer tilted her head at Autumn.
"You can trust me." She said, and Autumn stared at the dragonet.
"How-"
"Mind reading." Sightseer chirped.
Oh.
"uh, I'm looking for someone. Do you think you could help?"
"Yeah, sure!" Sightseer yelped, obviously happy to help. "Who're you looking for?"
"His name is Hopeseeker." Autumn replied.
"Oh. Uhm... He's gone." Sightseer replied nervously.
Autumn stared at the dragonet in pure shock.
"He's gone?" She cried. "Where? When? How?"
"I dunno." Sightseer shrugged her shoulders. "He disappeared a week ago, nobody knows how. Futuresight's in a rage."
"Futuresight?" Autumn tilted her head at the dragonet. "Who's that?"
"Hopeseeker's dad!"
Futuresight... Where have I heard that name before?
"Sorry I couldn't help you. Maybe you could stay a bit longer?" Sightseer asked hopefully.
Autumn winced.
"Sorry. I can't." She replied.
"Oh. Ok." Sightseer said sadly.
"But- Uh- I'll come back sometime."
Hopefully.
Autumn spread her wings and turned to face the dragonet.
"One more question. Where is the princess?" She asked.
"Follow the river upstream and turn to the left." Sightseer replied before wandering away.
Follow the river upstream and turn to the left. Alright.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sometime later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autumn fidgeted with her tail, waiting for the line to move. It made her nervous, all these dragons around her. Thinking about her. Looking at her.
She shivered.
At long last, it was her turn.
Autumn took a deep breath and stepped inside.
As soon as she saw Autumn, Princess Starwing's eyes widened. before the Princess could say a word, Autumn was already talking.
"Hello. Uhm, I've noticed that Hopeseeker is missing, and I would like help to go find him." She muttered.
