You use a sharp little rock to carve into the tree, writing Spitfire's name in Tamaranian.
"Lomiand'r," you say alound when you're done.
You and the girls walk back to your home and find royal guards standing outside, along with Greasefire.
"There they are!" he yells. "Blackfire and Saffire, wanted criminals!"
The royal guards rush at you, their weapons drawn. You take Onyx and Nuh up into the air, and Blackfire carries Foxy. The five of you fly towards Onyx's ship out in the field, but the guards follow you on both the ground and in the air!
"Brother, wait!" Flashfire yells.
You see her fly behind you, the guards closing in behind her.
"I'm coming with you!"
"No!" you yell back. "You need to stay with mother and father! They already have one criminal child, I will not let you become the second!"
"But Saffire!" she yells. The guards are almost on top of her, and the swing their halberd axe-spears at her! She dodges them, and catches up to you.
"Damn it..." you grumble. "Fine, you can join us!"
The six of you rocket to Onyx's ship, and arrive with a big gap between you and the guards.
Onxy fires up the engines, and Nuh sits in the second chair, as before. The ship takes off and heads for the sky just as the guards arrive. They fire starbolts at the ship, and a few just hit the wings, but nothing breaks.
*WOOOM* The ship blasts off, and you are in space within seconds.
Flashfire excitedly hugs you and Blackfire, and even Foxy, Nuh, and Onyx, and spins in circles, laughing and smiling.
"I am so glad I get to be with you, Saffire!" she cheers. "We finally get to spend quality time with each other!"
"Yeah, real 'quality' time," you say. "For all eternity. Because we are never allowed back on our home!"
"So what?" Blackfire says. "I don't care about being unable to return home. I'm just happy to have gotten away with you!"
"Then so am I!" Flashfire declares. "As long as I'm with my brother Saffire and his fiancé, Blackfire, I'm happy!"
"So," Onyx says, "where do we go?"
