The Unwanteds: Dragon Captives

Magical twins Thisbe and Fifer Stowe were venturing into the darkest part of the Jungle. Suddenly, three noises were heard on either side of them. They were trapped. One of the creatures turned out to be a giant clay Scorpion trying to eat them. The other one was an ebony panther bounding to save them, knocking over the scorpion. Letting out a scream, Thisbe accidently shot magic from her fingers, cutting panther in two. Suddenly, before the venom in the scorpion’s tail could strike, a large sandstone cheetah named Simber plucked them up and carried them off. Upon arriving to the magical land or Artime, Fifer and Thisbe realized their brother Alex Stowe, the head mage of the magical world, was going to be angry at them. He was furious to find out, and after a heated debate, Alex threatened to lock up the twins until they learned self-control. Feeling ashamed, Fifer and Thisbe hastily left the room, while Alex contemplated over what he just said. Resigning to his living quarters, he meditated over all the people he lost because tomorrow was the Day of Remembrance.
          It had been 10 years since Queen Agarla caused Alex’s arm to go limp and no longer work anymore, and he in turn killed her by sending her underwater because her people can't swim. The next day, while the girls were sitting with their friend Seth, two outlines appeared over the water to the west. It was Pan, the coiled water dragon and her son Hux, the ice blue Dragon. Hux needed Alex to return with him to the land of dragons not just to make new wings, but because if he didn’t return, his sister, Aribis the Orange would be killed by the Reniver. That night, Alex consulted with his friends: Samheed, Artime’s theater instructor, Lani, a young woman whose legs were paralyzed, Aaron, Alex’s identical twin and husband of a girl named Kaylee and father of a boy named Daniel, Fifer and Thisbe, Thatcher and Scarlet, two orange-eyed people from Warbler Island, Carina and Sean, a couple who stood by Alex from the beginning, and Crowe, Fifer and Thisbe’s keeper. Alex wasn’t the Alex he used to be, and was constantly holding back. Back then, he didn’t hesitate to rescue people. Only one person could bring that Alex back, Sky, Crowe’s sister and the love of Alex’s life. Alex was afraid he wouldn’t make it back and decided not to go to the land of dragons, making his friends upset, especially Carina.

That night, Thisbe, Fifer and Seth snuck off with Hux to rescue the Dragons. Alex was upset when he found out his sisters gone, and Carina with Seth. Sean was up too, so they decided to put a rescue team together and find them. Pan was there, and when Alex asked her the way to the land of dragons, Pan said she would only tell Simber. Alex was beside himself, fumed and upset. Carina and Simber, along with Thatcher, would go and find them. A short time later, the team was packed and off they set, diapering within minutes. Alex, feeling helpless and destroyed, stood long after the others had gone, thinking about the long-ago battles.

Meanwhile, the trio on Hux were just getting to the giant waterfall that had push Artime’s ship over years ago. From there, Hux took flight and took off to the land of dragons. Upon arriving, Seth gets captured. Fifer and Thisbe try to rescue him, but end up getting captured too. Using Heart Attack and Scatterclip components, Seth broke free, and later found the five dragons in stalls with magic muzzles around their snouts. Carina, Thatcher and Simber found Seth bring the Dragon’s wings to live with the component word, “Live.” Then, with the help of Simber, Seth successfully freed all the Dragons. Whiile the Dragons carried Carina back to Artime, Simber, Thatcher and Seth took off to rescue the twins.


Shackled and forced to walk, Fifer and Thisbe stumbled through the darkness. They arrived at a town square, from there they were tied up and people tried to auction for them. Thisbe put up glass barriers to protect herself and Fifer. Then they saw the Reniver, a black cloaked woman with icy blue eyes. Suddenly, Simber swooped in, but by looking at the Reniver for a split second, he didn’t see the glass walls. He smashed through them. Thisbe was untouched, but Fifer fainted when she saw blooming red stains appear all over her body. The Reniver made off with Thisbe, but Simber was able to snatch up an unconcise Fifer from the ground. Upon arriving at Warbler, they found Scarlet and Copper, Sky’s mother. They said that while Sky was trying to stop the volcano from plunging, it went down unexpectedly, taking her with it. With Sky gone, Thisbe in the dungeon, and Fifer wounded and unconcise, Alex was going to be so overwhelmed and heartbroken at the news. The time of peace was over.  Chaos has returned to the land of Artime
