[color=#D1D0CE]Eclipse's words rang in his mind as they once again took to the air, soaring into the pale blue desert skies. The thought of someone actually worrying about him made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside, as if he had been hugged by a parent or a brother. He found himself worrying greatly for his mother, Comet, and his father, Snowhare. Where were they now? They had given up their lives inside their tribes, but did they not worry about what would happen to the Sky Kingdom? If he were Comet, he'd come rushing over as soon as he heard the news. He swallowed his anxiety and turned his bright gaze to the horizon. There had to be a reason why they didn't show up. They didn't need too, anyway. This whole problem was going to be solved within the turn of the week, at the pace they were going. Things would go back to normal soon.

The lot of them decided to camp out again in the outskirts of the forest. It had grown too dark to properly scout through it, and he didn't want anyone getting lost. They settled down in a tiny clearing, surrounded by tall trees, shadows, and strange and frightening sounds. His ears perked at a rather bewildering screech somewhere deeper into the forest. A low growl came from his chest. Could RainWings make such sounds? Were they being watched? He didn't know, but that probably meant that they'd have to set up watch again. He settled down around the very small fire they had, wincing slightly as he felt mud squelch between the scales of his bright underbelly. [color=7ea7d8][i]Yuck,[/i][/color] he cursed to himself. How could dragons live in mud and filth like this? It was unsanitary.

Another snort left him as he looked to the rest. Aardwolf and the RainWing were opposite of the fire, with the RainWing still tied up in chains. Skua swore that she was a different color-- her scales had shifted into a much more muted blue, almost like the desert sky they had left behind a few hours ago. There were streaks of deeper blue, but the orange had dissipated completely. [color=7ea7d8][i]Weird... I think I read something once that RainWings could change colors. Sounds like a useless skill to me,[/i][/color] Skua thought crossly. 

There was a rustle of branches, and Skua flinched. Dreamseeker's head poked out from under a branch, a large boar hanging from her jaws. Oh, right. She had gone hunting, as if they needed more food. Skua had caught several lemurs, which had taken him longer than he wanted to catch. And yet, that RainWing still hadn't wanted to eat. Did RainWings not eat, or something? Maybe they ate fish, or grass...

Dreamseeker padded over to Eclipse and him and dropped the boar next to the fire. The RainWing's nose wrinkled. [color=614051][b]"I know you're very uncomfortable, but you need to eat. If you don't eat, you'll grow weak. You know that, right?"[/b][/color] she said. [color=614051][b]"Maybe you don't like meat? Maybe you'd want something else. Like... fish? Or fruit?"[/b][/color]

[color=7ea7d8][b]"Fruit? What kind of dragon eats [i]fruit?[/i]"[/b][/color] Skua began, but he was caught off guard by the change in the RainWing's expression.

Dreamseeker glanced at him. [color=614051][b]"She does, apparently."[/b][/color] And with that, she was off into the trees again.

[color=7ea7d8][b]"How'd she know that?"[/b][/color] Skua asked. Was it luck, or did she read something from a scroll? [/color]
