The Sacrifice...

As the crystal holding the Shadows' King, Hungry, and The CAT begins to crack more, allowing the blue haze to dissipate into the air, the others outside the crystal abruptly stopped singing with even a few starting to step back away from the collapsing crystal.  "What is happening to them?" whispered Arnie loud enough for  Goodie2shues to hear.

"This is where we see if the recipe is right," answered the Goodie sister, "and if all goes well, the Wish Dragon will have undergone a transformation.  This is rare and if enough magic is not released to finish the recipe, then the mixture will fail."

It was then that enough of the haze had disappeared that everyone could see what was happening inside the egg.  Both Hunter and The CAT were standing near the Wish Dragon, but the little Dragon had changed.  Hungry had grown and turned blue!  From the top of his head to the bottom of his claws - even his eyes were now a shade of blue.  As most were looking at Hungry, it was the Goodie sisters that noticed the small magical portal opening behind the Dragon.  "It will need more magic," each of the Goodie Sisters thought, but it would take more than they possessed to finish the transformation.

It was then that Dulbbe looked at Ffion and realized she was still glowing blue from the Goodies magic - the same color as the Wish Dragon.  With his time in the Shadows King library and listening to the green Dragon orb, he suddenly put some of the pieces of this puzzle together.  "No," he uttered as he rushed to her side.  "You can't do this!"  ​This act did not go unnoticed by the Shadows' King.

He had been watching Ffion through the crystal egg and already saw that his beloved daughter was approaching closer to the egg with the blue lights glowing around her.  It was the time for him to act or lose his daughter forever.  There had never been a choice, he knew what he must do.  Stepping to the edge of the crystal egg, he started pushing his magic into it!  Slowly, as as his magic swirled around in a circle, it began to expand... larger... and larger... and finally large enough to reach his hand through it.

"Daughter, a young fae sacrificed herself to give magic to the dragons, I will not have you do the same," pleaded the King to Ffion.  He reached out his hand taking hers.  As soon as that happened the blue lights flowed into Hunter's hand turning him blue.

"Hungry," Hunter told the Wish Dragon, "The Portal requires magic for magic.  This was what was required for the young fae that first gave her magic to the dragons and why I told you the tale.  When I step through the portal it will finish your transformation and begin your destiny.  If I don't, you and the magic in the Realm will perish!"

At first Hungry was scared.  It was The CAT that saved the day.  "Come'on... If you perish, I'll be out of a job," said The CAT to Hungry as he took the Dragon's paw.  Suddenly there was a small commotion outside the egg that occurred in the crowd.  It was Druzzy, the Troll King!  He was clutching his crown, trying to hold it on to his head, though he looked like he was being pulled by it as if it was trying to enter the egg.​

"Ah, that's where the Dragon tablet went," thought Dulbbe as he stood behind Ffion's with one hand keeping her from going to the portal.  For when the portal appeared, she had been slowly pulled towards it.  If it wasn't for Dulbbe holding her back while the King held her hand, by this point she too might have entered it with the Dragon.

"No!  You can't have it!" yelled Druzzy.  "I need it for my revenge," he screamed as he continued to cling to his crown with the Dragon tablet hidden inside as it pulled him towards the egg.  Even the Gooblin King was startled by what was happening.  "Let it go Druzzy," hollered Hir'aeth.  "It's just a thing... let it go!"  Glaring at the Gooblin King, Druzzy just smiled as he continued to clutch his crown, "Don't you wish.  I will win this round!"  It was then that three things happened all in a blink of a Dragon's eye.  The Shadows' King let go of Ffion's hand and with a wave pulled the Dragon tablet towards him.  He then stepped through the portal with the tablet following him... with a Troll King still holding on while the crystal egg shattered in a bright glittering glow like fireflies dancing in the evening.  As Druzzy was being pulled into the portal, grabbing anything to stop the pull of the King, he grabbed The CAT's tail which pulled the CAT in as well.

As Ffion watched her father, she saw him giving her one final look as he whispered "I love you" as the blinding flash occurred.

When everyone could see again, standing alone where the crystal once was, is Hungry, the Wish Dragon... but no longer a Wish Dragon as he has completed the transformation.  The Shadows' King had said that when Hungry ate the blue rose he would no longer be hungry and now he wasn't.  He was now a Moon Dragon, the rarest and most powerful Dragon that ever lived.
