Sunny's POV
Sunny's dragon crashed into the courtyard with a bone-jarring thud.
"Sorry, Blaze," he gasped, sliding off his mount's golden back. "I know you're tired, but we had to get here fast."
All around them, the Night Palace courtyard was chaos. Shadow creatures swarmed through the gardens while Night Realm guards fought desperately to protect their home. Silver magic clashed with dark claws, and the air filled with smoke and screams.
But what made Sunny's heart race wasn't the battle. It was seeing Luna for the first time since their arrest, standing near the courtyard entrance with her hands bound by magical chains.
She looked awful. Her silver hair was tangled, her clothes were torn from the palace attack, and dark circles ringed her eyes. But when she saw him, her face lit up with relief and joy that made his chest tight with emotion.
Sunny! her voice sang in his mind. You're really here!
