    "Pineapple, go to the school and get a private tutor for Sunshine," Queen Glory instructed the air above. At first, Sunshine was confused, but then she realized that there were invisible RainWing guards hanging from all over. When the command was given, a mostly yellow dragon appeared and flew off in the direction that Sunshine had earlier assumed was the school.

    After that, there were two more problems that came for Queen Glory's consultation. The first was resolved the most easily. An older, seemingly emotionless dragon came and, after a few minutes of nonsensical blabbering, Queen Glory interrupted, saying exasperatedly, "Atelopus, I have no time to consider the problems of the universe right now." He seemed used to that, for he turned silent, stood up, gathered his scrolls, and left. Sunshine was honestly sad to see him go.

    The second problem was much more difficult to resolve yet far more frivolous. Two mothers came in with their daughters, Shimmering and her daughter Joy, as well as Parrot and her daughter Parakeet. They were having some kind of problem from school. One of them cheated on a test, or was rude, or something. Eventually, Queen Glory sent them away because she had "more difficult things in her talons at the moment."

    Before the next dragon could enter, Pineapple returned with a dragon indigo with pride and pink with excitement, as well as gold with surprise. They landed on the platform and bowed to Queen Glory, then Pineapple returned to her place in the canopy, invisible. At their arrival, Queen Glory said to Deathbringer, "Tell anyone remaining outside to return tomorrow. I'm done for today."

    As Deathbringer did such, Queen Glory addressed the newer dragon, "Thank you, Pineapple. Tamandua, you are going to be tutoring my adopted daughter, Sunshine. Why don't you start with some basic learning of reading and counting?"

    Deathbringer at her side, Queen Glory then went over to a desk filled with scrolls of important things she had to do and got started on them. Meanwhile, Tamandua quickly became astonished at how rapidly Sunshine could learn. By the end of the day, Queen Glory was tired and frustrated, but had gotten a lot of work done, and Sunshine could easily count to 100 if she went slowly, could count by 10s, and could read the alphabet and some simple words fluently.
