Dreamseeker and Eclipse had woken up early in the morning to catch Eclipse's friend before her went to his shift. Skua, or so Eclipse called him, was very much surprised to see a NightWing with his friend-- especially when he found out she was the one that had been staring at him during the whole festival. The morning had been very much peaceful until they spoke to him, and the more they explained, the more his temper flared. His sharp, yellow eyes kept glowering at her as if she had dumped a bunch of salt into his stew. SkyWing guards filtered past them, walking up and down the corridors as they moved to take their positions. There seemed to be more guards than the day before, she remembered. They probably didn't want to take any risks the day after Queen Ember's death. [color=7ea7d8][b]"So, let me get this straight,"[/b][/color] Skua's lips twitched with a snarl. [color=7ea7d8][b]"You go to bed, and you find this [i]NightWing[/i] flying about the vicinity of the palace, and [i]you[/i] don't even wake me up before you go chasing her tail?!"[/b][/color] Dreamseeker couldn't help but step a little closer to Eclipse for support. [color=614051][b]"It's not like I would have attacked him!"[/b][/color] she told him. [color=614051][b]"Not to mention, we have more important things to think about-- such as our next course of action."[/b][/color] Skua sighed as he shuffled his wings. She caught worried thoughts in his mind; possibilities of Brightstar or Storm getting injured, Eclipse getting killed, what would happen to his parents, what this meant for Pyrrhia... [color=7ea7d8][i]With a war on the horizon, it won't take very long for tribes to start making alliances.[/i][/color] Dreamseeker shuffled his wings as well. That was why they had to hurry. [color=7ea7d8][b]"So, what's the plan?"[/b][/color] Skua finally asked, his eyes firmly planted on Eclipse. [color=7ea7d8][b]"Are we going to roam around Pyrrhia and ask who's responsible? 'Cause that'll take forever."[/b][/color] [color=614051][b]"I have another idea,"[/b][/color] Dreamseeker proclaimed. Skua's eyes dashed to her again, his gaze anything but friendly. She couldn't help but quiver. [color=614051][b]"We could go to the rainforest ourselves. The RainWings will probably be more willing to speak to [i]us[/i] than a bunch of mean-looking SkyWing soldiers in armor, don't you think?"[/b][/color] [color=7ea7d8][b]"The RainWings won't talk to anyone. They're all lazy good-for-nothings, anyway,"[/b][/color] Skua snapped. Dreamseeker huffed, trying her best not to flare her wings. Sure, she was quiet, and a little of a push-over, but this dragon was difficult to deal with. How could Eclipse ever have become friends with him? [color=614051][b]"It's not like we have any other choice. We have to try, don't we?"[/b][/color] She glanced up hopefully at Eclipse. [color=614051][i]Oh, please let him take my side. I can't think of anything else to do![/i][/color] [/color]
