Eclipse had never spent this much time flying in one direction with such a singular goal in mind. Usually it was battle maneuvers or aerial tricks, but this was just pure endurance. Thankfully his large wings did most of the work for him as they made their way clear of the Sky Kingdom and the sea of sand stretched out ahead. He caught himself staring at Dreamseeker more than once, appreciating the way the desert sun reflected off her white and black scales before quickly snapping his attention back to the direction they were going whenever she or Skua glanced his way.

He didn't necessarily like the desert. The sun beat down and his dark scales did little to reflect the heat. He couldn't imagine how uncomfortable it probably was for Skua given his IceWing heritage, but thankfully he was able to spot an oasis for them to stop at where they could get some food and water. He'd noticed Skua's glares towards Dreamseeker and couldn't help but sigh. He was fairly certain his friend was just being prickly, but he wasn't usually this distrusting of others. Maybe they just needed time to warm up, but he didn't want to have to play mediator for this entire trip.

He turned his full attention back to Skua and felt his nerves send pins and needles across his scales, by tomorrow they might be able to figure out who was responsible. [color=ed1c24][b]"Me too. Though there is the possibility that they aren't even from the rainforest,"[/b][/color] he snorted softly, [color=ed1c24][b]"It's not like the RainWings would ever kill someone, especially a queen."[/b][/color] He plucked some feathers from some strange desert bird he'd been able to bat out of the sky, [color=ed1c24][b]"This may just be one stop. We might have to go even further to actually find whoever is responsible, but maybe the RainWings will at least be able to tell us if anyone weird has come to the area."[/b][/color]

The likelihood of them being lucky enough to actually discover who did it at the first place they went seemed slim at best. He shrugged his shoulders slightly and glanced back towards Dreamseeker, keeping his voice low, [color=ed1c24][b]"You seem extra prickly when it comes to her. Why don't you trust her?"[/b][/color] he directed towards Skua, flicking him lightly with his tail.
