Wings of Fire: The Darkest Hour (Not Accepting)

[Yveltal]

Snowstorm didn't hear Pharaoh as she continued to fall. Her vision was blurred by the burn, and she couldn't tell up and down. Her vision then went black as, with a wham, she hit a cliff hard with a sickening crack.

Pathfinder flew low over the waves, green eyes narrowed as he beat his wings harder. As he reached a tall island not too terribly far from the Sky Kingdom, he swooped upward and into a spiral around the towering spire of rock in one swift movement. He knew the islands around here like the back of his own talons. Pathfinder slowly descended into a fall, landing lightly on a flat outcrop. He placed the two dragonets on his back, tucking his wings close against his body so they wouldn't fall. He ducked into a low cave entrance and down into a winding, flat passage that went deeper into the tall, rocky island. Smaller caves branched off from the main tunnel, and he walked into one of them, a large cavern with scrolls tucked into every crevice, and lit by bright, multicolored glass globes with candles inside them. In the middle of the room was a pile of blankets, and he picked up the SkyWings twins from his back and tucked them in. "Stay here, alright?"

Terra gasped and darted through the hole, her tail getting caught. Frantically, she clawed at it until she broke free. Looking down, she saw a blur of white fall past her and she shot down. Landing near her friend, she blinked away tears. "Snowstorm?

[AGGUA!]

Pharaoh-
Well, now Pharaoh DEFINITELY KNEW something was up. Ten minutes had passed, and there still hadn't been a reply from Snowstorm. Without saying a word, he whirled around, took three steps forward, and lunged into the sky. "SNOWSTORM!!!" he bellowed loudly. I something happened to her, too, he would never be able to live with himself. "SNOWSTORM!!!"

Ember squarked like it was an agreement of some sort. He plopped himself down, before getting back up. He hobbled over to his brother, and somewhat tackled him.

Sapphire flew back over to Snowstorm. She landed, before sitting next to her. she ran her hand over Snowstorm's burnt face, but left nothing disturbed. She noticed the burn had started bleeding. She sighed, before looking around. Geez, Pharaoh needed to hurry up.


(Guess who had to walk home from school in a thunderstorm with no coat?)

{Quick recap? I'm a bit to lazy to read right now XD }

[AGGUA!]

X3 you, I'm guessing?

Recap? Erm... Sapphire died, and Snowstorm just got a face full of fire, which made her land on a rock outcropping of some sort.

Do you guys want to add anything else?

Pharaoh-
There it was again- that flash of white. But this time, when he glanced at it, he saw the small form of a motionless white dragon. "SNOWSTORM!!!" Pharaoh roared, diving downwards with his talons outstretched. He felt tears prick the corners of his eyes but they were blown away by the wind. He landed on the small outcropping next to her and Terra, who looked frozen. He wrestled his necklace off, trying not to hyperventilate. It didn't look too bad... But halfway along her tail there seemed to be an odd break, and it stuck out at an odd angle. He pressed his ear against her chest, melting with relief at the sound of a heartbeat. She was just unconscious, was all... With a few small wounds, a broken tail, and a scorched face. He rubbed the surface of the necklace on her face carefully, the black starting to retreat and the smell of scorched flesh filling his nose. Pharaoh thought he might throw up.

[littlecandyraver]

( You guessed right. it sucked.)

Sapphire sighed with relief as Pharoh arrived and started treating the burns on Snowstorm's face. Knowing that Snowstorm wouldn't die, She flew back to Everest. She looked at her own dead body for a few seconds, before looking away. She Couldn't look at herself, even in death. She looked over at Everest and smiled.

[AGGUA!]

I can believe that, yea
Erm... You know what sucked for me I guess?
Umm... Life

Pharaoh-
The revolting stench subsided as Snowstorm's shimmering white scales starting eating up the scorched ones. They smoothed themselves back over, except for the one scar that ran across her snout, which couldn't be healed at this point. The scales looked normal, at least... They were a bit misshapen around the edges, but you couldn't tell unless you were a few inches away from her. And even then, who would notice? The smaller wounds he cleaned up as well, satisfied, as they left small scars. Great. More of them. Pharaoh looked down at the scars on his palms he had received from the burns, sighing. He gazed down at her broken tail... How was he going to fix that? He rubbed the necklace gingerly across the break a few times, but it did little to straighten it up. He didn't want to hurt her... Maybe he could wait for her to wake up, and they could figure it out. He sighed, laying down next to her, unfurling one of his wings and extending it over her back while he rested his head in his talons.

Hmm... Gonna wait for Yvel to post :v

[montmorency]

Starkeeper still sat under the outcrop, wings tight against her dark scales. She could still hear the minds of her friends and Pathfinder. So Sapphire died. Starkeeper blinked, sensing her friends' sadness. She hadn't really associated with the SkyWing. I guess I'm not going to be that emotional over it.
Starkeeper had the feeling no one was going to continue off soon. Pathfinder, I guess I'll be going to the island, she thought, calling out to her brother as she began to get up.

Pathfinder walked out of the library, and turned sharply back into the tunnel, brightly lit by glass globes hanging from the ceiling, much like Jade Mountain Academy's. He turned into another tunnel which slowly curved downward. Down here, it was dimmer, lined with many candles set in deep cracks in the walls. Pathfinder ducked into a low entryway and into a sleeping cave, with a hammock woven from large leaves and vines. The smooth walls were lined with racks of trinkets and scrolls, and a desk rested against the wall opposite the hammock. It was littered with empty parchment, paint, paintbrushes of all sizes, pens, and ink stains. Pathfinder sighed as he climbed onto the hammock, curling in a half circle and resting his head on his talons. He was surprised that Queen Foreseer had let him keep this place, whatever it was used for again. He closed his eyes, knowing that the queen would dreamvisit him, but sleep was a long ways away.
He was glad that the distance between him and Starkeeper wasn't that long, so he was still able to faintly hear her. That would be a good idea. Remember the island not too far at sea from the mountains, that Queen Foreseer let me have? Meet me there, and then tell me what's been going on. Oh well. He supposed the queen could wait a little longer.


Snowstorm coughed, groggily opening her eyes slightly. She suddenly bolted upright, sky blue eyes wide. "Where's that damn NightWing? I'll kick his sorry tail to the three moons and back again! MAYBE EVEN A SECOND TIME!" she roared, then winced and flopped back to the cold stone, her gaze drifting to Pharaoh. "Talons and tails, what happened? Especially to my tail!" She twisted around to throw a look of disdain at the bend in the middle of it. "I broke it, didn't I? No worries, though!" she barked, stumbling to her feet. "I'll be fine."
