Solia sighed, gazing out into the distance from the spot atop the building she'd been given by the Guardians. Warfang was a busy place, many dragons left homeless, and Solia always did want to raise dragons to make it up to Ignitus, since she couldn't raise him. She didn't turn when she heard the faint sound of claws on stone as Vengeance, one of the older dragons, pulled herself up. She walked over to Solia, then sat down and leaned against her. Solia sighed as she looked at the little hybrid-element dragon that resembled her sister so much. Venegance blinked her blue eyes up at her, deep green tigerlike marks stretching across the length of her body. Unlike most dragons, she and her sister were wingless, but that didn't stop them from getting up onto high places. Solia's ear twitched as Vengeance's tail flicked to her other side, coiling the scorpion-like tip away from her guardian. Vengeance, with her poison and shadow element combo and dark scales, scared a lot of older dragons there. "Soliar?" She looked up at Solia intently.
"Yes, V?" Solia replied. She didn't care that Vengeance called her Soliar, her name WAS a twist on solar, after all.
"When is Luna - I mean, Luno coming to visit?" Vengeance giggled as Solia even smirked. Her brother hated that nickname, but Vengeance had been too young to understand why his name was Luno, and it had quickly turned into a joke between the three of them.
"When he finds out I'm here, and decides to pull the trick again. I really want to surprise him with my own trick." She smirked evilly at the thought of making him hate life.
"Where is sister, though?" Vengeance asked, sadness tinting her sky-blue eyes.
"Ire's defending the main gate from the overwhelmingly big crowds." She chuckled at the thought of Ire roaring at all of them to shut up and get in a single-file line before she forced them. Vengeance groaned, having the same thought. The firey poison and fear hybrid did NOT hold back at all. "Now that Spyro and Cynder - goodness knows where they are - saved the world, dragons are coming in from all across it to get to a sanctuary. I just hope that I'll be around for a lot longer."
"Why?"
"I want to see something more than pain and fear. I want to see a new eon."
"What kind of eon, Solia?"
"I want to see an eon of healing." She spread her wing over Vengeance, whispy trails of smoke fading off it.
"Are you sure they won't mind that you're actually not pure dragon?" Vengeance croaked quietly. Solia didn't answer, instead she just hugged the little dragon to her chest.
"Just because I have an and I quote, 'dark' heritage, it does not mean I am evil. Go see what your boyfriend made for dinner."
"Blizzard isn't my boyfriend, mom." Vengeance said as she ran down the side of the orphanage. "He's also a terrible cook!"
"That's true." Solia agreed, laughing. She watched as Ire ran by, chasing a green earth dragon that had the 'deer in the headlights' look. Standing up with a sigh, she jumped off the ledge and glided down, entering the orphanage's kitchen a few seconds later to see mashed potatoes, turkey, ham, chicken, salmon, roast beef, venison, and dozens of other meats. "Who brought all this?"
"Since sis worked in the army, she gave half of her savings to the orphanage. She makes a lot to defend and do her job, and with the remaining parts of Malefor's forces around, it's not a cheap position."
"Well, we can discuss how you all feel about this later. For now, I am going to set up the rest of the bedrooms while you cut and serve the food. Make sure to save some for the next few days! We also have to name this place, remember?"
"Yeah!" The orphans said at once, running about to set everything up.
