A/N: Hi guys, I'm back and guess what? This fanfic will be multichaptered! I want to set this story in the AnY universe, but it's based off an original story I wrote a long time ago. If anyone's curious, I wrote that story a long time ago, but because I thought it was horrible – I deleted it, haha… so I'll be revisiting the past and hopefully make a much better story this time around – with the Dark Dragon and the Happy Hungry Bunch!

"Shin-ah, do you see anything?" The princess squinted her eyes and gave a small huff under her breath, knowing all too well the action was pointless.

The endless wave of fog surrounded her and her companions in a blurry cloak of grey – making things nearly impossible to see, tree trunks appearing on and off as flickering lights and the ground beneath them shrouded in fragmented clouds. It was almost as if the group of humans and dragons had entered another dimension – one that involved them floating and walking on thin air. Although the sight was breathtaking in itself, the footsteps that led them here were not filled with awe, but treaded with apprehension and uncertainty.

"…No." The blue-haired dragon looked towards the princess and smiled apologetically, his fur covering his head waving back and forth as he shook his head in response. Although Shin-ah's sight was impeccable, there seemed to be more fog up ahead – which made him furrow his eyebrows in worry. Was there no end…? Ao, sitting on Shin-ah's shoulder, nuzzled him gently – settling his nerves just a bit.

Meanwhile, Yoon rubbed his head and sighed in frustration. "It feels like we've been walking for hours too… maybe we should stop and set up camp for a bit."

As soon as the pretty genius boy's words escaped his mouth, a chorus of growling stomachs rumbled in unison and echoed throughout the forest – making everyone in the group stop their movements and look at each other – and then to Yoon.

"Zeno's hungryyyyy," the blonde-haired dragon whined, waving his arms around and clutching his stomach. "Zeno thinks we should eat now!"

"Yeah, make us something, mom." Hak patted the peach-haired kid's head before passing him to set up a makeshift campfire. Near one of the trees, he went to the side and grabbed the proper tools to the start the flame. In just a few seconds, a light illuminated the small area – revealing bare tree trunks and the dark green grass on the ground.

Yoon turned to Hak pointedly and growled. "First of all, I'm not your m—"

"Oh yes, mother." The emphasis of the offending word rolling off the tip of the green dragon's tongue, "all of us are so hungry. Please make us a delicious meal!" Jae-ha laughed and patted Yoon's shoulder, throwing a wave in the air before walking away to assist Hak.

Ki-ja was right behind him, yelling some sort of gibberish and pointing his pale dragon hand at Jae-ha. "You people are rude! You could at least—"

"EEEK!" The white dragon jumped back and hid behind Shin-ah, shivering in fright. The blue haired dragon could only tilt his head to the side and ponder the cause of Ki-ja's scare. He looked where Ki-ja was originally standing, peering in-between the strands of grass and noticed a bug crawling.

"…Oh." Shin-ah took a few steps, went on one knee, and picked the creature off the grass – causing Ki-ja to gape at him wide-eyed.

"No, Shin-ah! Don't touch those things, those are completely disgustin-"

"…Here." But Shin-ah was not fazed – taking the bug into his hands, he walked over to Yoon and motioned for him to open his palm. The slimy creature dropped lightly onto the young boy's hand and he could feel its touch giving him shivers down his spine. "It's good food."

"Y-you're not wrong," the genius pretty boy recognized these creatures before, and it was true that they were edible and provided adequate nourishment. "If only I had a napkin of some sort though…" He could feel its tiny legs tip-toeing all over the indents in his hand, trying to ignore his mind screeching at him to drop the bug at once. Food is food… He sighed and nodded at Shin-ah, who made a quick bow before dragging the horrified Ki-ja towards the campfire. His face, growing paler and paler moreso than usual, seemed frozen as he realized that he would have to eat this morsel eventually. Looking at the campfire itself, Hak and Jae-ha were near each together; although not in good harmony, as Hak was giving Jae-ha a rather hostile look of annoyance with the green dragon laughing at Hak's expense. Who knew what they were arguing or up to?

"Tch…" Yoon could've swore his eyes wanted to roll back further than the back of his skull, but that was not possible. Not in this lifetime. Not with these idiots, at least… He muttered a few incomprehensible words under his breath before turning to his sack of supplies.

"Ah, Yoon!" Glancing up, a pair of violet eyes gazed right into his. "I'd like to help as well, if you don't mind."

"Me too! Zeno wants to help!" Zeno walked right next to Yona and smiled cheerfully. "Anything to stop a hungry stomach!"

Didn't know they were starving this much… but then again, who am I kidding? Yoon hummed a tune as he gathered his supplies together and sighed, looking towards Yona regretfully. "We're running out of food, and it looks like we'll need –"

"More?" Yona clapped her hands all too eagerly and reached for her bow. "Let's see, should I get a bird… or a bear… or maybe…?"

"W—" Yoon's mouth was wide open. He couldn't believe how much the princess changed ever since he first met her; after all, she didn't know how to do a single thing in order to survive, but now she wielded a weapon and contributed a lot for this group from starving to death. Although Hak was used to Yona's willingness to hunt, Yoon couldn't help but fret over her. She's only a year older than me!

"A bear, miss! That'll feed us for days!" Zeno's grin was spread from ear to ear and jumped excitedly, his blonde hair bobbing up and down.

"W-wait, I know everyone's hungry, but…"

His stomach started growling, silencing his complaint.

"Just… go." Yoon facepalmed and sighed, his eyes following the duo as they ran over to the campfire to announce their journey to hunt – receiving alarming glances from everyone except for Hak, who chuckled in earnest and motioned her to hurry and come back. He noticed Yona's face brightened with a slight blush on her cheeks, and saw her waving everyone farewell. Yoon's eyes continued to follow her until her and Zeno disappeared from the corner of his eye. They'll be fine… I need to stop worrying.

"AND COME BACK SAFE!" He yelled between cupped hands around his mouth.

A/N: Whew! Hopefully, that was a good starting point for a beginning of a story. I have an idea of what I want to go with this plot I'm thinking of… but we'll just have to see! If it's not too bothersome, any feedback would be appreciated. Sorry for the slow pace, but I hope you guys enjoyed it regardless.
