GALE POV
Beating her wings uselessly, Gale blinked the rain from her eyes. After three days of nonstop flying she just wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Unfortunately she didn't think landing was a possibility in this weather. There were so many up drafts. So much wind in general.
The smell of ozone flared in the SkyWings nostrils, as blinding light flashed mere inches from her face.
Rearing backwards, Gale felt another blast of lightning ripple past her tail, not even waiting till the thunder finished rumbling.
Again she saw a flash, but brighter, and the scent of sizzling dragon flesh filled the air. Screeching loudly, she spiraled downwards, but the sound of her pain was washed away in the rush of the pouring rain.
Gale blacked out.
PUDDLE POV
Puddle yelped, leaping out of the way of the fiery thing streaking from the sky. He had been having a perfectly nice time, thank you very much, frolicking in the rain and the thick, oozing mud. A perfectly nice time, that is, until that mass of flaming, screaming... whatever had crashed.
'Hey!' He indignantly thrashed his stubby brown tail. 'What do you think you're doing!'
The dragon, (yes, apparently it was a dragon, and not even a MudWing at that!) groaned, lifting up a charred head, then limply flopped to the ground, unconscious.
Puddle was starting to worry now. There was a dead SkyWing lying on the ground next to him! Oh, moons, moons, moons, this was not good. What if a member of her tribe came, and thought HE had killed her.
Even though it looked like she had been killed by fire, and it was to cold and wet for a MudWing to breathe such fire, who knew how logical SkyWings were!
Breathing deeply, Puddle had to remind himself that A; he was only a dragonet, and B; Geyser had always told him not to worry about the little girl nimportant things.
'Like, non-royalty..' He mused aloud 'Probably...'
Like any smart MudWing, Puddle decided to sleep away all of his problems, and collapsed, snoring, into a (literal) puddle.
You likely? Please leave a review, I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, or how it got started, but it's fun to write!
