9 Kepri and Wati

CHAPTER 9 KEPRI AND WATI Get down, everyone!" Drake yelled. The Dragon Masters all ducked. But the dragon was not after them. He came to a stop right next to Kepri. The dragon wrapped his wings around her and made a happy, purring sound.

"It looks like they know each other," Drake said, pointing to the two dragons. Wati was gently stroking Kepri's back with one of his wings. Her eyes were closed, and her head was drooping. Wati had black scales, and Kepri had white scales. But they had the same graceful bodies and yellow-tipped wings. "They look a lot alike," said Bo. "Yes, except that Kepri has light scales and Wati has dark scales," added Drake. "Light and dark—"

"Like the sun and the moon!" Rori yelled. Ana's mouth dropped open. "This is what we'd been hoping for!" Heru looked thrilled. "Wati is a Moon Dragon. My father taught me that all Moon Dragons have a twin—a Sun Dragon," he said. "Wati must have known that Kepri would be in this pyramid tonight. That explains why he suddenly flew off earlier. I am glad that I followed him here."

Drake was starting to figure it out. "So, Kepri must have known that Wati could heal her," he said. "And she must have told Worm about her twin. That's how Worm knew to bring her here!" "Is Worm an Earth Dragon?" Heru asked. Drake nodded. "They have amazing powers," said Heru. "Worm did the right thing when he brought Kepri here." Rori gave Drake a high five. Ana hugged Worm. "Thank you, Worm!" Then Bo looked nervously at Kepri and Wati. "Look!" Wati was standing up on his hind legs with his wings spread out wide. fclnef. "Everyone, step back, quick!" Heru yelled.

They moved away just as Wati opened his mouth. A ribbon of dark colors streamed out. It looks almost like a rainbow, Drake thought, except it's all blue and black and purple. Wati's rainbow ribbon grew and grew. It swirled around Kepri's body. She stirred a little, but her eyes were still closed.

Ana squeezed Drake's hand. The light from the blue-and-purple rainbow grew bigger and shone brighter. The Dragon Masters had to shield their eyes. Then... whoosh! The light swirled all around them.
