Clay was one day doing his normal thing: Eating pigs, sleeping, eating pigs, and some other things. He loved a pig, or two and has a huge appetite. His appetite sometimes brings him to places that weren't on the menu, Examples being: Ex-Queen Scarlets palace, the Seawing Caves, the Skywing attack on the Summer Palace, and many more.
Clay this time, he didn't chase after a pig, instead, the pig came to him, by an earthquake... the ground split in half as Clay ran off to tell his friends.
"GUYS!" Clay shouted at the top of his lungs, then 4 other dragons, actually 6 dragons came out of a mountain, Jade Mountain to be specific. "Clay! What is going on?" The Blue one asked, she was Tsunami.
"Another Earthquake is happening down by the Sandwing Kingdom!" Clay said back, The light yellow dragon opened his mouth slightly, his name is Scorpion, he was a soilder in Burns army, his family lived there.
"Do you see anyone hurt?" Scorpion asked, Clay could tell he was worried, the blazing Skywing Peril flew down to the crack the quake made. "No," Clay said, "I didn't see anyone that fell or anything." Scorpion breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you sure?" The black one said, that was Starflight, Clay snorted, "Starflight," Clay started "I know I would of heard someone screaming 'HELP I FELL!'" Starflight covered his ear, obviously Clay's fake scream didn't hurt his ears, he is just being over dramatic as always. "Starflight that did not hurt your ear, if it did probably just a little," the light red one said, but then her scales shifted to a light green, which is her normal scales, and she goes by Glory.
"It hurt a little" Starflight said, the other little Sandwing (With no barb) sighing a little.
"Sunny!" Tsunami said, "Did you really think he was hurt?"
"You never know." Sunny said, Glory face-palmed as she went back into Jade mountain.
Clay noticed that Scorpion has been acting weird ever since this quake struck, I understand he lived there, Clay thought, but why would he miss it, he can't really go back there since he betrayed Burn.
Scorpion was looking into the sunlight as he sighed and starting going on a little hill, and layed there, Clay just watched the pale dragon as he drifted to sleep, it made Clay want a cow for some reason, but Tsunami was telling him to stop eating the cows from Jade Mountain Acadamy for a while, and that he should just hunt for one, but to Clay its too much work.
Tsunami called Clay and the others back inside, Clay wondered if Scorpion would be okay outside by himself.
"Clay, Scorpion is a grown dragon, he can take care of himself," Tsunami said to Clay while looking at her talons.
"I know," Clay replied, "But, he has been acting strange, don't you notice that?" Tsunami sighed, "Yeah, I have been seeing that," Tsunami said, "He has not been his normal bold and smart self."
"I wonder if it is because of the earthquakes hitting the Sandwing Kingdom." Clay said, Tsunami looked at him weirdly, "Why would he be upset about that?" She asked in an agitated voice, "There is nothing there but Burn and a few other non-important dragons." "Ever thought of his family?" Clay asked, Tsunami immediately stopped sharpening her talons, and slowly looked at Clay.
"Oooohhhh," Tsunami said, "So, he has a family? I thought he had no-"
"TSUNAMI!" Clay snapped, "Everyone has a family! Have you ever thought about that?!" Tsunami felt stupid.
"Okay, that was a bit rude," Tsunami said as she felt guilty, "But we have never saw his family, and he has never mentioned them." Tsunami slapped herself, "WHATEVER!" She shouted, "Just get some sleep, its getting late."
"What about Scorpion?" Clay asked worried.
"He will come in soon" Tsunami said.
Clay looked outside, it was nightime, and he saw the outline of Scorpion just sitting there, and thought, I guess we should give him time, he seems to be in a mood or something.
Scorpion looked at the moonlight as he sighed and said to himself, "Life can be cruel right?, like keeping a huge secret from this dragons can be hard, especially as its about a certain dragon they don't like...", Scorpion looked behind him, and went inside Jade Mountain and went into his room, he decided to skip dessert and went to bed, he had a dream about a Pale Dragoness shouting commands at him, he twitched as he drifted to a deep sleep.
