Beneath the twilight sky, Banguela and I glide over the treetops of Dragon's Edge. A shadow—too swift and too deliberate—darts between the trunks below. I signal to Toothless, and we drop into the clearing, our landing rustling the underbrush. The forest holds its breath; no one is here. Back at the clubhouse, my words tumble out in a rush. "There's a prowler out there. Toothless and I saw a figure, but it disappeared the moment we got close." The others exchange skeptical glances. Unheard, I turn on my heel and head back into the deepening woods. I need to find the truth.
