Eclipse looked up. "Guess I misunderstood them," she said. "I'm just... a little jumpy after being betrayed. My... my mate Cloud... he's an animus... he gave me this earring right here," the dragon pointed to her earring with a moon on it. "He... he was the only one who knew I was SunWing-MoonWing... He turned me in."

Solar nodded slowly. "I can't believe that your mate would do that." Why would any mate do that?

Eclipse lowered her head again. She sighed sadly. "I think...I think it was because... we had an arguement. The rules in Pontalo are very strict. Animus dragons can only use their magic only once, in fear of them turning homicidal. I... i didnt want him to turn, but he had used his power more than once. I argued with him... and I guess thats why," she said.

Solar nodded.

Eclipse looked at Solar. "He.. he's an air dragon, too."

Solar tilted his head.

"In Pontalo, you arent supposed to have hybrid dragons. You cant mate with another type of dragon," she said.

Eclipse sighed sadly.

Solar nodded in understanding.

Eclipse looked at the ground.
