Read The Lost Continent Page 23


  “Oh wow,” said the one with the earring, noticing Luna.

  “What —” said the Clearsight-looking dragon. “How — ?”

  “I believe this is our first visitor from the lost continent,” Jerboa said. “She blew in with the storm.”

  The little black dragon sat down and tipped her head as though she was listening to something far away. “I’m Moon,” she said, “and this is Qibli. Are you really from across the sea?”

  “I guess so,” Luna said. “It was kind of an accident, coming here. I’m Luna.”

  “Hi, Luna,” said Qibli. “This must be pretty weird for you, too. You have so many wings! I mean, that’s cool. Is it hard to fly with all those wings? That’s a silly question. I can’t believe we’re meeting a dragon from another continent! This is amazing!”

  “Are you like Clearsight?” Luna asked Moon. “Can you see the future?”

  Moon’s eyebrows shot up. “You know about Clearsight?”

  “I know some things about her,” Luna said, thinking darkly of the Book and the lies Queen Wasp had told about it. “I know she came from here, and she had scales like yours. I always wondered if there were other dragons over here who could see the future, too.”

  “I can, sort of,” Moon said. “Not as well as she could. But I had a vision about you. That’s why we’re here.”

  “Was it about getting me home?” Luna asked, sitting forward and flaring her wings. “Do you know how I can get back there?”

  Moon shot Qibli an uneasy look. “Not exactly,” she said, “although we can work on it.”

  “I have some ideas!” Qibli said brightly.

  “Good,” Luna said. She settled back into the palm fronds. She was suddenly sure that storm had brought her here for a reason. “Let’s figure out how to get me home, and you can all come with me. Especially you, vision dragon.”

  “Me?” Moon said. “Oh, I don’t know — I haven’t seen anything about —”

  “You have to,” Luna said. This dragon could be the secret weapon the SilkWings and LeafWings needed. “My tribe needs your help.”

  Triumph sizzled through her veins.

  We’re coming for you, Queen Wasp. And now we have a dragon who can really see the future.

  The reign of the HiveWings is over.
