CHAPTER EIGHT

These are the Storm Creatures,” Grubber said, walking Tempest Shadow into a great hall the next day. “You all have… um, met before. They’ll be joining us on our mission.”

The creatures stood there, facing her. Now that she was looking at them up close, she realized they all looked like strange versions of the Storm King. They had the same white fur around their faces, and they wore the same black armor with the blue symbol. But the beasts had sharp, pointy faces and beady blue eyes. One was huge, with paws like a lion’s. Two long tusks curled out from his nose. (She thought he was the one she had kicked, but she couldn’t be sure.) Another stood on his hind legs. He was shorter than the rest, with thick arms that looked as if they could smash someone with one blow. They all peered down at her. None of them spoke.

“Do they need to come?” Tempest asked. Then she turned to the creatures and shrugged. “No offense.…”

One of the Storm Creatures crossed his arms over his chest. He was definitely offended.

“The Hippogriffs are very powerful. We should bring them just in case. They’re good to have on your side in a fight.” Grubber leaned in and whispered in Tempest’s ear, “Now, this is where you give them a pep talk.”

“Right,” Tempest said, not really sure what to say. She and Grubber had come up with a plan, but she wasn’t exactly expecting to lead the group. And definitely not the small army she had just fought days before…

“So… Storm Creatures,” she said. “We leave for Mount Aris tonight. You’ll wait on the airship while Grubber and I enter the castle. The Queen of the Hippogriffs has a magic pearl that we need to get for the Storm King. Grubber and I will find it, and then we’ll count on you to be there when we make our escape. But remember: We want this to be as quiet as possible.”

The Storm Creatures looked confused.

“Quiet isn’t really their thing,” Grubber whispered.

“Grubber and I will take care of everything,” Tempest said. “You’ll wait on the ship. We’ll just need you as backup.”

They stood there, staring at her with their beady blue eyes. They didn’t seem excited about staying on the airship, but they didn’t seem mad about it, either. Grubber inched toward her. “This is where you lead them to the ship,” he whispered.

“Okay,” Tempest said, letting out a deep breath. “Let’s ready the ship for our journey. Storm Creatures, head out!”

The creatures all turned at the same time and marched out of the great hall. They climbed down the hill and marched across the long bridge away from the Storm King’s castle. That was when Tempest saw the ship for the first time.

It was bigger than the one she’d seen in the desert, and it was nestled in a swirling storm cloud. Set against the sunset, this airship was one of the most impressive things she’d ever seen. She
