[color=#D1D0CE]Skua was getting more and more aggravated by the minute. The SkyWing guards flapped about, shoving back against the dragons that wanted to escape. His eyes flicked about the crowd; he couldn't find any suspicious dragons in this mess, no guilty or pleased faces that flashed among the bewildered ones. He caught sight of dragons with eyes filled with tears of panic, fear, and confusion. How many had families they were wondering about? How many of them were separated from their loved ones in this chaos? Skua awaited another attack, another flying dart that soared towards the other members of royalty. But none came. It seemed that their assassin had either blended with the crowd almost perfectly, or had fled the scene right after his attack.

Eclipse's words snapped his attention back to his panicking friend. A scowl crossed his maw. They were doing nothing sitting about. And Eclipse wanted to make sure his family was alright... [color=7ea7d8][b]"The assassin is gone by now. There's no way that they could do anything in this mess,"[/b][/color] he commented. [color=7ea7d8][b]"For now, we should find out if everyone is alright!"[/b][/color] [color=7ea7d8][i]Though, judging from all the blood, I doubt the queen is okay.[/i][/color]

He spread his wings, taking off into the sky. One of the guards moved to intercept him, though Skua snarled. [color=7ea7d8][b]"Three moons, I'm one of the queen's soldiers! Let us through!"[/b][/color]

Skua wasn't sure if it was because of the intensity of his roar or his words, but the SkyWing blinked in surprise and moved to let them pass. Skua flapped towards the pulpit, landing among the fretting SkyWings and their royalty. Ember was still on the floor, gasping and writhing as her tail curled and uncurled. There wasn't so much blood, at least, not as much as he had thought. The healers on the scene fluttered to and fro, their eyes wild with panic.

[b]"She's been poisoned,"[/b] one of the healers hissed.

The largest SkyWing guard growled. [b]"Then do something about it, Cloud!"[/b]

[b]"I-I can't... we don't know what to do--! The poison's already in her blood, and it struck an artery..."[/b]

Skua's blood froze over like the coldest tundra. He whirled his head around to face Eclipse. [color=7ea7d8][b]"Poison,"[/b][/color] he hissed. There were many types of poison in the world, ranging from SandWing venom to dragonbite viper venom. Though, even he knew that, once the poison hit the blood, there was little one can do. And if it hit a vital point on one's body...[/color]
