[color=E5E4E2]Their escapade was more terrifying than exciting. Behind them, the SandWings scrambled, writhed, and clawed at their scales in useless attempts to get rid of the venom that clung to their skin and seared holes through their tendons. The arena had flown into a frenzy, with dragons scattering into the skies in terror. Two monsters had escaped, and they had to get home before they were killed, devoured, or worse. Vivid grinned down at the storm of thrashing wings and tails that lashed back and forth in desperation. With the havoc they caused, they would surely be home free… right?

They flew for a while over the sandy wastes. No one followed them. Three moons, she thought Boa and Caracal would care a bit more about losing their dragons. Maybe there was just too much chaos going around for them to set off after them in a hot pursuit. Which meant that they had more than enough time to lay and rest. Her body ached, and fatigue set in as soon as her claws touched down upon the sands of the oasis that Frostbite had found. Finally, some water and shade. She trod over to the parched hybrid’s side and slipped into the water. It was shallow, but deep enough to soak in. She spread open her blue wings and let her brilliant yellow membranes soak in the coolness of the water. 

[color=19CACA][b]”Ahhh,”[/b][/color] she breathed in a sigh of relief before she dipped her head into the water to take large gulps of the liquid. It wasn’t too grainy, but she wasn’t going to complain. Honestly, if she had the option, she’d stay at that oasis forever. It was much better than that courtyard back in the Scorpion’s Den.

She raised her head and swiveled it around, facing Frostbite. [color=19CACA][b]”You’re Frostbite, then?”[/b][/color] she piped. [color=19CACA][b]”I’m Vivid. It’s nice to meet you!”[/b][/color]

The scratches that marred her scales stung, but for now, they were trophies that she had sustained in order to achieve her freedom. She wondered how tired Frostbite was. [color=19CACA][b]”Are we staying at this oasis for too long? The water feels nice, you should try it out!”[/b][/color][/color]
