"Hundreds of fairies flying after a strange dark, mystical cloud!" she exclaimed.

Lucas and Clara gasped. "Which way were they headed?" asked Clara. The fisherwoman pointed. "East," she said. They thanked the fisherwoman and started down the dock toward their ship. "Let's go!" Lucas shouted. "Wait!" the fisherwoman called after them. "Before you set sail, I have something that may be of interest to you."

Lucas, Clara, Grom, and Falsk gave the fisherwoman their full attention. The fisherwoman reached into her pocket and pulled out an object shaped like a teardrop. It was flat, and it shimmered in the sunlight. She handed it to Lucas. "It looks like a dragon scale," he said, turning it over. Ruskin sniffed the scale and whined. Then Lucas showed it to Grom.
