If Darkstalker had never been born... (Part three)
Arctic had never been more terrified in his life compared to how scared he was now. "Umm... What's there to talk about?" He tried, grinning to try to get the older dragon's thoughts to something else. But Galaxy gave him a stern look, and Arctic shut his jaws worriedly, keeping his gaze stubbornly on his talons. "You care for my daughter, although she is from a different tribe. Explain."
Arctic tried to read Galaxy's expression and tone, but the dragon was unreadable, his face a mask. Arctic took a deep breath, thinking about the wonderful NightWing that'd captured his heart so quickly and effortlessly. "She's just... Different to me, I suppose." Arctic began, staring off into space. "She makes me laugh and feel happy, I don't know how to explain it..."
He trailed off, suddenly raising his head and staring at the NightWing, their eyes locked. "Sir, I truly love her, and I don't care what you say or do, nothing will change that, and nothing will change that I have no regrets."
Arctic spoke the truth, his bravery rising. Meanwhile, Galaxy gave him a nod, which Arctic deciphered to mean that the older dragon would keep his secret. "She cares for you too." When Galaxy spoke, his voice was gruff, as if he was struggling to keep his emotions in. "Though how much I do not know."
Arctic felt his heart rise with hope at those words, and without a second to deliberate with himself, he spoke to the NightWing strongly. "Could you find out?" That was impossible, Galaxy would never agree to pretty much treason.. But to the IceWing Prince's extreme shock, Galaxy nodded. "I will." He said, before turning to walk out of the room, leaving Arctic to gape after his retreating back.
IN FOESLAYER'S POV; Foeslayer was walking alongside her mother and Queen Diamond, bored out of her mind. How she wished Arctic were here, he was the only thing not boring about this trip! But he'd walked away after he'd learned that her father was a mindreader, and she didn't blame him. It was shocking, the first time you realize a dragon has been poking around in your thoughts.
Galaxy had gone after Arctic, claiming that he was going to soothe the young IceWing's mind. Foeslayer wished she could read minds, that'd be cool! Hearing what others thought ahout you, hearing that a certain IceWing actually did consider her a friend- NOPE! She wouldn't go down that path of thoughts, it lead to something she didn't want to think about.
Completely zoned out as she walked, she touched her wing tip to the earring Arctic had given her, he'd said; "Enchant this earring to keep whoever wears it warn... And keep the wearer safe, no matter the danger." What did that mean? Did it mean he considered her a friend? Maybe... He considered her even mor-STOP!
Foeslayer shook her head again, stopping her thoughts before she went too far. "Are you okay?" Queen Diamond's voice awoke her from her thoughts and Foeslayer looked up, grinning sheepishly. Diamond and apparently Abyss had both watched her shake her head about a million times, and we're both staring at her with twin looks of slight anger, but mostly annoyance.
"Heheh... Sorry! I'll... Go find dad..." And with that, Foeslayer darted away, looking for her father. She found him surprisingly quickly, although to her regret Arctic wasn't with him. "Hi dad!" She said, walking up to the older NightWing and stared at him, surprised at his unusually teasing face. "Greetings, Foeslayer." He said affectionately, nuzzling her head.
"Where's Arctic?" She asked, shielding her thoughts, considering there was about a thousand thoughts running through her head that she didn't want him seeing. Galaxy stared at her, and she flashed a nervous grin, panic starting to run through her talons. "Why are you blocking me?" Galaxy said gruffly, but Foeslayer knew that meant; "What are you hiding?"
She continued to grin, knowing full well that that wasn't helping her case. "N-Nothing...?" She put it as a question, but Galaxy just tightened his hold. "Foeslayer... Show me... I can tell it's giving you stress." That broke her, and with a heavy sigh, the young NightWing set down her shields, and the thoughts poured into her father.
A/N: I hoped you liked it! Review, and I have a question! When Snowflake finds out that Foeslayer and Arctic have feelings for each other, (because we all know they do) what will her reaction be?
