Wings of Fire: The Darkest Hour (Not Accepting)

[Yveltal]

A NightWing guard came leisurely walking into the prison area, carrying a large pail that he had his tail curled around. He paced up to the SandWing's cell, glaring. "Be happy we're feeding you at all, Sidewinder," the guard hissed, sliding a charred piece of gila meat under the bars. He then slid a few fish into Torrent's, Beluga's, and Reaper's cells, before stomping off disgruntled up a passageway in the back. "Why do I even have a job like this why do I have to feed those idiots like SERIOUSLY why can't I guard the queen or something.." His muttering slowly disappeared, along with his black scales.

Torrent stood up after the NightWing left, scooping up one of the trout and slicing it open with her claws. "Then I challenge you to a duel after we're free," she said with false intimidation. "If you win, I'll get you as much fish as you want for a whole week. If I win, the other way around."

Snowstorm nodded gratefully, taking the gemstone in her talons and holding it to her underbelly, gritting her teeth. The scales instantly started to knit themselves together, each stab wound disappearing, and replaced with long, thin scars. Like she needed more of those. The only other sign left over was a few flecks of blood. She let out a breath, unaware that she had even held it, and handed the necklace back to Pharaoh. "Thank you," she said softly. "Now, we need a plan quick. No doubt the NightWings will find us soon, as the cave is pretty open to the air. We can't leave, we have to deal with the queen, and release any prisoners she might have." She looked up at Pharaoh. "Have any ideas, oh smartest of us all?" she said with a smile.

[AGGUA!]

Pharaoh-
Pharaoh paced, hoping that would cover up the smile on his face when Snowstorm said those words. "We need to stay on the island, at least," Pharaoh said finally. "This is a chance to take down Foreseer... We can't let it pass us by." He glanced in Chaoscaller's direction. The nightwing was staring at him intently, her side brushing up against the wall. Right. Like he would ask HER where they could hide. "We at least need a safer sort of cave... There is a chance that some of the obsidian's formed certain caverns and holes in the ground... It's a whole bunch of tunnels and catacombs. They'd never be able to find us... We would just risk the chance of getting lost in the maze." Pharaoh coughed. "If there is one, of course."

Chaoscaller-
"There is," Chaoscaller pipped up. "I've seen a small ravine not far from here that you can try. I've never flown down it myself, but it's pretty deep... Just not all that wide or long." She bit her tongue to keep herself from saying anything else. She didn't to carry on and anger the sandwing.

Reaper-
Reaper grabbed a fat looking sea bass, one of his favorite saltwater fish, and blasted fire along the scales. Then he set it down, waiting for it to cook through thoroughly. "Let's raise the stakes even higher!" he challenged. "If I win, you have to be my full-blown SLAVE! If you win, then the other way around!" His tail swung back and forth lazily. "How's THAT sound?"

Sidewinder-
"Don't you DARE be late next time!" Sidewinder hissed after him, crunching the gila meat between her sharp fangs. She sat down, curling her barbed tail over her talons, then swallowed and licked her lips with her forked tongue. She fiddled with the three skyfire bands on her wrist, bored out of her mind. Why wasn't SHE in a grouped cell, like some of those other dragons? Why was she alone here, in the back, by herself.

Beluga: Beluga swiped up the rest of the fish greedily, slowly cutting them into bite size pieces so he wouldn't choke. His mummy said he always had a hard time eating. He popped one in his mouth, swallowing it whole. He surveyed the board after, placing down a circle in the bottom right square. "I can beat ANYONE in a fight. I can challenge you and Torrent and EVERYONE. If I win I want everyone to be my slave." he trilled happily, already thinking about the prospect.

[AGGUA!]

Reaper-
Reaper raised an eye ridge, snickering. "Oh really?" Reaper looked away from the seawing, shoving the charred sea bass in his jaws and crunching on the smokey meat. When he was done, he pretended not to be interested in Beluga anymore, then whirled and lunged as far as his chain would take him, blasting fire at his snout.

[Yveltal]

Torrent quickly ate both halves of the fish, then suddenly lunged at Beluga. She did a roll under the SeaWing, sprang up behind him, and kicked him hard in the rear end with her back talons. Torrent swung around and leaped on his back in a swift motion, slamming Beluga to the stone. Using her left forearm and left back leg, she pinned his forearms and backlegs down, then slid her right talons under his neck and hooked them just below his chin. "No offense, but I don't think you could."

[BudgieLover5000]

Beluga: Beluga squealed, blowing at his smoking snout and patting at it violently to calm the fire. Then, he stopped, dropped and roll which gave Torrent the perfect chance to attack his vulnerable self. "I'M JUST AN INNOCENT CHILD" he cried,then began blubbering hysterically. "Don't kill me please I didn't even finish my fishhhh" he sobbed, sniffling loudly as tears hit the floor.

[Yveltal]

"Says the 'innocent child' who just said he could beat us all," Torrent said amusingly. She leaped off of him, snatching a couple fish pieces in her mouth in the process, and sat down a little ways away from the other SeaWing. "By the way, I never caught your name," she said to Reaper, swallowing the salmon.

Snowstorm stood up, spreading her talons as she steadied herself. At least with her wounds healed, she felt better, but still slightly woozy from all the blood loss. "It's worth the risk," she said, lashing her tail behind her as she glanced at Chaoscaller. "Can you lead us there?" This was also a test to see if the NightWing would betray them at all.

[AGGUA!]

Reaper-
"Reaper," he replied, taking a liking to the seawing. At least she had a BRAIN, and the brawn was an added bonus. "And yours?"

Chaoscaller-Pharaoh-
Pharaoh opened his mouth to protest, but snapped it shut when Snowstorm spoke out. The exact opposite of what he was going to say. Chaoscaller nodded, spreading her starry wings and diving down the side of the volcano. Pharaoh dove after her, glancing back to make sure Snowstorm could keep up well enough. Chaoscaller scanned the area; they were on the south side, facing the sky kingdom across the ocean. It was near the north... Which was also the side the stronghold was located. But if they could make it past the guards... Perhaps it WAS too big of a risk. But she banked to the right anyway.

[BudgieLover5000]

Beluga: "I NEVER SAID THAT" he shouted. He engraved a circle over the whole tic-tac-toe board, and threw one of the uncut fish at Torrent's face. "SHUT UP, YOU'RE MAKING ME SAD" he said, starting to sniffle again. His shoulders trembled as he stared at the floor and started crying again

[Yveltal]

Torrent simply opened her jaws, letting the fish land in her mouth, then chomped down on it. "Thanks for the extra fish, " she said nonchalantly, then turned back to Reaper after swallowing it whole. "Torrent," she replied. "So what did you do before the moronic NightWings took you prisoner? I used to be an expert at stealing, actually, but I've gotten better at not trying to," she said casually, flicking her tail.

Snowstorm launched into the sky, diving after the two dragons and making sure the others were following. She flew up beside Pharaoh, but far enough away from Chaoscaller so that she couldn't hear them over the wind. "You might be doubting this, but I figure we better see where she actually takes us," she said quietly. "To see if she betrays us, or if we can truly trust her."
