☠ WRETHEN ☠

Wrethen watched silently as the dragons fought, choosing not to respond to Hope's question. Did he like Foreseer? That was a rather tough question to answer, personally. If Foreseer died, then sure, he wouldn't have a problem killing her. If she were the one to kill Foreseer, than he would definitely kill her. And yes, he liked the NightWing queen... But he had yet to explore that emotion and see if the relationship was more based off of a crush. Because... For now, he didn't have a crush on her. He didn't know about Foreseer, but he sure didn't.

Wrethen decided to turn away from the battle and stalk over to Sidewinder's struggling form. Her breathing was labored, but he caught the movement of her eyes as she looked up at him. He narrowed his eyes, raising his talons and gingerly placing them against her chest. Yes, the heartbeat was still there... But slower than normal. Sidewinder squirmed in his light grip, but even though an uninjured dragon could've easily escaped his talons, she couldn't. Eventually, she stopped, her eyes growing dull and looking away from him.

He removed his talons, deciding not to kill her. He had no reason to, she was going to die anyways, unless they managed to use that necklace on her that everybody was fighting about behind him. But, he wasn't going to lend a hand in the matter.

"NEVER!!!" Pharaoh snarled wickedly, his tone loaded with venom. Although she had him pinned, which prevented him from using all of his natural weapons, he wasn't about to let that stop him. He wrestled his wings out from under her talons, feeling slick blood squish between his scales as her sharp talons tore through some of the membrane, but they would heal, unlike his eye.

He ripped his wings free of her talons, beating them with all of his might, smashing them against her sides. He could tell it would likely do little to faze her, but that didn't matter. Snowstorm was coming. Pharaoh thrashed in the NightWing queen's grip, stretching his neck out to its fullest length, hoping to drag the citrine gemstone away from her scales, which would no doubt start mending themselves instantly. His tail twisted and swirled around, like a worm caught on a fishhook, even if he couldn't use his pinned barb. "BURN IN HELL, FORESEER!!!"

Hope's scales burned in agony as the NightWing queen blew fire on her wing. She bit back a yell of pain and fixed her eyes on Foreseer. They burned with hatred and her scales turned hell red. "Don't lay a claw on my friends." She snapped open her mouth and shot a jet of venom at the queen's wing.

"i can say the same for you, sandwing," the queen hissed, spitting out the last word like it was acid. if she could hold him back for just a little.. yes. finally her yellow-tinted scales met the gemstone, and began to knit themselves back together. the wound disappeared as the venom was evaporated, and the only trace left behind was a thin scar. foreseer quickly let go of the chain and jumped away from pharaoh, swiftly turning away from him and giving the sandwing a wide grin over her shoulder. "thank you for the pleasure of letting me use your gem. now, obviously you don't care for your dying mother, so i can finish her off for you." slowly, the massive black dragon slunk towards the former sandwing queen, like a giant black snake. the nightwing queen's eyes glittered with malice as she rested her talons on sidewinder's already-injured neck. "say your goodbyes to your son, sidewinder. i've been waiting a long time to do this." glancing over her shoulder once more, foreseer turned her snake-like eyes to the cowering pathfinder. "kill the other sandwing."

but a burning sensation on her right wing caused the massive queen to let out a piercing roar, and foreseer whirled around to face hope. extending her talons, she slashed upward, eyes burning with a similar fury. no-one touched the queen and went unharmed. especially a backstabbing rainwing, dragons foreseer ruled over.

snowstorm was still dashing across the damp, bloodstained earth, but not towards foreseer; instead of heading to the black-gold nightwing, snowstorm was headed towards pharaoh once the queen stalked away from him. skidding to a stop, the icewing quickly lowered her head and rested it under pharaoh's. "please tell me you're alright," she whispered, a tear sliding down her cheek. but her blue eyes turned to give foreseer a sideways glance, filling with hatred as snowstorm slowly laid down next to her love. "we need to kill that beast. now. we won't have another chance." snowstorm hissed out the words quietly, each with malice and loaded with venom. they could set things right. snowstorm could slit foreseer's throat herself. and pyrrhia and the nightwings would be free.

pathfinder | nightwing | tags: everyone

pathfinder didn't know what to do. everything had happened at once. first the mudwing dying in agony, foreseer wrestling with sidewinder then pharaoh, snowstorm coming back to life. the nightwing dragonet lay on the ground, his talons clutching his head. he kept on worrying and worrying, mainly about his sister being killed. if the queen herself killed starkeeper.. he would never forgive himself to siding with that monster. but when foreseer spoke to him, pathfinder lifted his head, but turned away coldly, not answering. he couldn't kill star's friends, the dragons she had grown up with. pathfinder glanced at his sister, green eyes filled with mixed emotions. what do we do? he worriedly asked his sister mentally, jumping slightly as the queen let out a screech.

Sidewinder raised her cloudy eye to look at Foreseer as venom struck her wing, starting to eat up the membrane. Sidewinder gritted her teeth, sealing her one eye shut and stabbing her tail towards Foreseer, who lunged at Hope. She missed, unfortunately, but hit someone else. Wrethen.

The massive hybrid hissed, whipping his head around to snarl at her. He raised his back talons, bringing them down on her barb and crushing it with one swift move. She opened her mouth to cry out, but nothing but dark red blood gurgled out. The wound was tiny, more like a small scrape really, and the venom content would knowingly be very low. Brightsting cactus likely wasn't going to be needed, he could sleep it off. No, it hadn't benefited her in any way, quite the opposite actually.

He watched that NightWing, Pathfinder, go still, not obeying Foreseer. He narrowed his eyes at this, lashing his tail, then slowly turning his head, in a nearly robotic-like way, to look over at Pharaoh and Snowstorm. His lip curled, showing some of his jagged teeth.

Pharaoh couldn't stop the few tears that rolled down his snout as he closed his one good eye, extending his wing and letting it fall over her body as he twined his barbed tail around Snowstorm's. It was hard for him to believe that mere minutes ago she had been dead, lifeless, gone. That he had been heartbroken and dead inside. But she was back, now. And he was never letting her go again.

"I'm fine," he whispered (well, apart from his eye and injuries and everything else, you know? X3), lowering his head so that his chin was resting on her sharp horns. He drew in a shaky breath, a billion emotions hitting him all at once. Fury, rage, longing, love, pain, sorrow... There had been so much going on. But now that Snowstorm was here beside him, wrapped up in his wing, even with all of the emotions, that was all that mattered right now. Not Foreseer, not Wrethen... But his mother.

Foreseer was distracted, and Wrethen... Pharaoh couldn't tell where Wrethen was. He opened his one good eye, raising his head to the sky, folding his wing back, and getting up, waiting for Snowstorm to do the same. At Foreseer's order, he snapped his head around to look at her just as Hope's venom hit her wing. He tugged on Snowstorm's tail, although she heard the queen's shriek as much as he did. Then he spotted Wrethen, charging towards them, bearing down on them like a great black shadow, apparently carrying out Foreseer's order for Pathfinder.

Wrethen had a promise to carry out that came with all exchanges; not to kill off the IceWing until 24 hours passed after it was completed. But Pharaoh was a different story. The SandWing wasn't dead... One of Foreseer's biggest threats, other than Snowstorm, who she hated the most, if not by a long shot. He wasn't sure, but it didn't matter; he wanted the SandWing dead just as much as she did.

He pounced, his massive talons outstretched, his fangs bared into a hideous and toothy snarl while his eyes burned like embers in a blazing fire.

{I feel like I'm writing too much XD}

Starkeeper stood in the corner of the room, cowering. I don't know! she mentally shouted to Pathfinder, tucking her wings even closer to her body. It was slightly overwhelming, honestly.

[ghostmaker]

Hope roared in pain as Foreseer's talons struck her snout [i forget what it's called]. She turned and wrapped her tail around the NightWing queen's forearm, yanking her off balance. She shot venom at her, hoping it landed in her eye.

gritting her teeth, the queen quickly hooked her talons into the earth as her forearm was yanked, but was still knocked off balance. she was impressed by the rainwing's strength; pharaoh hadn't been able to knock her off. but no matter. foreseer quickly ducked as the venom shot over her head, but a thin trail splattered diagonally across her face. the queen let out a roar, clutching her snout, as the trail began to bubble and hiss, stinging like hell. in a fit of rage, foreseer lunged toward hope, sinking her long fangs into her tail and using all her strength to swing the rainwing, then released her jaws. quickly the queen whirled around to slink towards sidewinder once more, talons glittering as she extended them to slit the sandwing's throat.

snowstorm followed pharaoh's movements, eyes snapping toward foreseer for a moment, then wrethen. letting out a hiss, the icewing leaped forward to stand between the obsidian-black hybrid and the golden sandwing. but snowstorm simply sat down, extending her talons and making gestures with her front claws, glaring determinedly at wrethen into his fierce red eyes. slowly the earth began to shake, barely a quiver, then it split apart under wrethen's talons. twisting tendrils of stone began to rise up, reaching up towards wrethen's forearms in an attempt to bind them to the earth. as much as she loved pharaoh, she didn't care if he complained about her using her magic. albatross, nearly three thousand years ago, had gone on making the summer palace for seven years before losing his mind. so she was pretty sure she was fine. for now.

the green-tinted nightwing turned fearful eyes on wrethen, who was apparently doing his job for him. pathfinder watched snowstorm fend off the massive hybrid, then turned to starkeeper. he was glad foreseer wasn't a mind reader at that moment. star.. we have to kill her ourselves. snowstorm and pharaoh are too busy fighting wrethen, and foreseer is distracted by hope. it's the perfect chance.

[ i can't help but think of one of symmetra's highlight intros a bit when snow uses gestures to use her magic: x x x ]

[ghostmaker]

Hope groaned in pain as she slammed against the rock. Her wings throbbed and her back leg was cut. She attempted to spray a long jet of venom as Foreseer walk away. It looked like it was aimed for her body, but Hope had no idea where it would land.

Sidewinder glared daggers at Foreseer with her misty eye, gritting her bloody teeth. "You'll NEVER be queen, Foreseer," she hissed, coughing up blood. "A real queen does what's best for her tribe, not what's best for her. You can do whatever you want with me, do whatever you want with your fellow NightWings. But you are NOT. THEIR, QUEEN."

Sidewinder closed her one cloudy eye, willing everything to be over quickly. It wasn't like she was gonna get her throne back anyway. Pharaoh loved Snowstorm. An IceWing. And an IceWing couldn't be queen of the SandWings, even if her tribe managed to trace Pharaoh as her son. Without her there, there wasn't any proof he was. No, she had no hope for her bloodline to become royal.

But she was proud of Pharaoh nonetheless.

Wrethen felt stone scrape against his scales and he stopped mid-jump, the rocks swallowing his talons. He roared, his whip-thin tail swinging around and slamming into the tendrils. The split apart and he fell to the ground, landing on all fours as more rose out of the ground. He glared across the small chasm at the IceWing, debating whether or not to kill her, although he knew that he couldn't.

He jumped backwards as more stone tendrils clawed at his scales, breaking any that came too close with his tail. It kept him at bay, for now... But it would have to stop, eventually. He could wait it out... Then Pharaoh was a goner. And Snowstorm, too, who was wasting her own precious 24 hours.

Pharaoh crouched, watching Snowstorm use her animus abilities. "Snow, don't!" he pleaded, grabbing her shoulder with his talons and yanking her around to face him. "Please?" he could hear Wrethen roaring behind him, but that wasn't what concerned him; it was the fact that Snowstorm was using his animus abilities, when they should be escaping the island or going after Foreseer.

Foreseer! He raised his head, his eyes widening in terror as he saw her stand over his mother. He glanced back at Wrethen, torn. Stay here and help Snow? Or go help his mother?

Terra looked at Sidewinder and then to Pharaoh, hoping he would understand that she could get Foreseer off. She turned and slammed Foreseer with her tail with all her might. She blew fire at the NightWIng queen and slashed her talons across Foreseer's back leg.
