Moonwatcher's travel guide to Pyrrhia!
Ch 1- Guided in Peril
"Are the cameras ready?" asked Kinkajou, darting around the small black camera Quibli had been preparing. Moon watched as Kinkajou's brightly coloured wings swirled in one million shades of pink and yellow. Quibli fiddled with the buttons and lens on the camera.
"Scavengers" he had said when they had found it. "They're obviously much smarter than we think!"
Winter was attaching a largish microphone to the end of a long pole. The IceWing prince had been reluctant to join the crew, but as he leant against the mountainside, Moon could sense the calmness coming from his crowned head.
"I can't believe this is actually going on the Pyrrhia T.V!" he muttered.
"Guys, the camera's ready!" called Quibli over the whipping of the wind in the mountains. Kinkajou shifted her scales to look like the sky, except with an extra rainbow added in, and spread her wings behind Moon as a background. Winter leaned the pole with the microphone just by the camera. He handed Moon another microphone.
"Here you go" he said, his chilly voice expressionless as she brushed his talon briefly.
"Filming in 3, 2, 1..." Quibli said. "Aaannnnddd, Action!"
Moon straightened up, and put on a professional voice.
"Hello! She said. "I'm Moonwatcher, and this is…"
"Moonwatcher's travel guide to Pyrrhia!" they all chorused together. Moon jumped into the air. Quibli, Winter and Kinkajou jumped into the air too.
"Today we are visiting a vast kingdom" said Moon, flying towards a bunch of mountains and cliffs as her 'crew' followed. "We are going to show you the kingdom of the-"she stopped briefly, confused. NOOOO! She had forgotten her line!
'SkyWings!' Quibli mouthed.
"…kingdom of the SkyWings" Moon finished. Quibli paused the camera.
*every SkyWing at home watching*
Avalanche: "How dare they?"
Vermillion: "GET OUT!"
Queen Ruby:"…"
*back here…?"*
"Soo far, kinda good!" he said, turning so the sunlight caught on his amber earring and grinning at Moon.
Moon grinned apologetically.
"Let's get going" she said, and flew down towards a mountain shaped like an eye. They landed, and Quibli turned the camera back on. Winter shifted the sound pole, and Kinkajou started playing a little background music on a flute-like instrument.
"And now we will meet our guide. Everyone, give it up for Peril!" Moon cried. A coppery SkyWing with fiery blue eyes and gold veins running through her wings cautiously stepped out of a nearby cave, surveying everyone (especially haughty Mr. Winter) with wariness. Kinkajou moved her talons in a way so that the flute thingy made a noise like dragons clapping and roaring.
"He-hello" she said nervously. Moon looked into Peril's fiery mind. A single thought pushed through: Why am I here?
Peril shifted a little closer to the camera, causing Kinkajou to pause from her song and start coughing. Winter moved away from Peril's smoking wings and made a shushing gesture.
"Well, Peril, it's good to see you" said Moon awkwardly. Peril looked towards Quibli, an uncomfortable look on her face.
"Well, I have one thing to tell you." Peril said. " . .SEEN!" she hissed. She looked up at the sunny sky with a look that plainly said she was watching out for Queen Ruby's patrols.
"Why?" asked Quibli. Winter smacked him with his tail.
"Well, um, Queen Ruby kinda banished me from the kingdom…"
"Pause!" said Quibli, hitting a button. "Peril! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT!?"
"So what?" cried Peril indignantly, scraping her fiery talons on the rocks nearby.
"Oi!" said Winter. He moved forward like an arctic fox and stepped in between Quibli, who had his tail raised, and Peril, who had stepped forward and a stick crumbled to ash beneath her talon.
"Can we stop fighting?" pleaded Moon. She didn't like the noise. It made the fire in Peril's mind become more agitated.
Quibli sighed and pressed 'play' on the camera.
"Wow! This is fun!" squealed Kinkajou. She hopped around to Moon and sat down, folding her wings. Suddenly, a SkyWing patrol flew just over the mountain, casting large shadows on the sunny rock floor. One of them glanced down. He saw Peril and yelled a warning to the others.
"Hide! Yelled Peril, darting into a cave.
*Queen Ruby at home watching*
"HA HA! Catch them! Get them out of my kingdom!"
*back in the clearing*
Moon rushed into the cave with her and felt Quibli follow. The SkyWings landed in the clearing silently. Moon could see them flapping their large wings. They looked around. They were obviously very stupid.
"We need a plan to get rid of them" said Moon quietly. "And Quibli…see if you can catch it on camera!" she smiled.
*After an epic plan, involving scary noises, flurries of movement and an epic light show by Kinkajou, the SkyWings flee*
"YAY! We did it!" cried Kinkajou, jumping up and down.
"Quibli, did you get that on cam?" asked Winter, grinning.
"Yup" the SandWing answered, pausing the camera and smiling at Moon.
"Wow. That was intense." Said Peril, who had watched the whole thing in awe.
*Secretkeeper watching at home*
"*sniff, sniff* I'm so proud!"
*present*
"OK, let's film the rest of this at night. It will be much safer" said Moon, and everyone agreed.
