Eclipse leaned a shoulder against Skua, silently making sure the other dragon knew he didn't at all blame him for not being able to notice anything, and gave him a faint smile. His mind was still reeling, running through all manner of questions and possibilities for what could have happened and why someone who do this. The only though that came continually to the front of his mind, no matter how hard he tried to shove it away, was that someone wanted to start a war with the Sky Kingdom. 

Brightstar simply nodded her head, looking lost in thought for a moment, [color=8882be][b]"It's alright dear. Even the guards who were right up next to the Queen saw nothing, so I shouldn't have expected either of you to have seen any more than they did."[/b][/color] She stepped past the two young dragons, briefly brushing her wings against Eclipse, [color=8882be][b]"Go get some rest. It's been a trying day."[/b][/color] She smiled warmly, if slightly strained, before leaping from the pulpit and soaring down to the crowds below.

Despite what his mother told him, Eclipse found that he could not rest, even as the sun fell in the sky and the stars began to twinkle cheerfully he found himself pacing the length of his room in the palace; like some kind of caged beast. He let out a long sigh before stretching his wings, maybe a flight would do him some good. He was sure it wasn't the smartest idea to be out alone when someone was attacking royals, but he didn't care at that point, his room felt stifling and his darker scales would hide him well enough.

Pushing open the doors to the balcony attached to his room he took a deep breath of crisp night air before leaping into the inky blackness and spreading his wings. The wind whistling by and rushing across his scales drove the meddlesome thoughts away as he soared down before looping back up and around towards the mountains. As he glided near the mountain that held the palace his keen vision caught a flash of movement on the stone slightly below him. He came to a stop, flapping his wings to keep him aloft, and stared at the place where he'd seen it; waiting for anything else.

After a brief moment he saw the moonlight catch on black scales and for a second he thought it was his mother before remembering seeing her inside the palace with his father. No other NightWings lived in the Sky Kingdom, so they definitely should not be here. He moved slightly closer, but not close enough that he was at risk of being attacked, [color=ed1c24][b]"Who's there?"[/b][/color] he put more force into his voice, like his father did when ordering the young recruits around, [color=ed1c24][b]"The festival is over. You shouldn't be here."[/b][/color]
