So, I was absolutely exhausted today, I just woke up tired and with an inactive imagination. So, here I am, back for another chapter!
Chapter four: Incurable
I woke up for the second time and crawled out of my log, let's say when I walked out of the trees, I was not expecting to see Tsunami tackling a sky wing into the water.
"What the-I'm too tired for this" I mumbled. I rolled my eyes and walked to the water's edge. The sky wing's head burst out of the water, I glared at him, and stretched out my arms. He had a look of terror and then fainted. Keep in mind, this is early in the morning, he was just a scout. I rolled my eyes and told Tsunami how to accurately tie the vines around the dragon.
"Why don't you just do this?" She asked.
"The vines would shrivel up and I might accidently touch him" I pointed out, needing some coffee. "If there such a thing as coffee in this world?" I wondered. "Probably not" I thought bitterly. I went over to the small cave that the others were sleeping in.
"WAKE UP!" I yelled, immediately rousing the four inside the cave.
"That's better, we have to get moving" Tsunami said.
"Isn't it a little early?"
"Yes, it is, but, a sky wing scout found this place, we're moving" I said, with dead looking eyes.
"Eep! What happened to you?" Sunny squealed.
"No coffee" I mumbled in a low voice.
"What?" Glory asked.
"Never mind, I'm going to start walking down the beach, while you guys get ready" I said, starting to move further down the beach.
"You should've known I'd find you" A mysterious, male, dark voice said around me. I ignored it at first, before realizing that I wasn't imagining it.
"I shouldn't have known fruit, you piece of poo" I said, mocking the voice, by mostly quoting Markipier. The voice didn't reappear back in my head and I nodded, continuing to walk. It wasn't much longer before the others caught up. I looked behind me and we were able to stop at a rock with another, similar small cave.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow" I said, before taking off without another word. I didn't know how long I was flying for, but, I do know that I did see something beneath the water following my movements. I started to go up a little higher, but, soon found myself being trapped in a circle of flying sea wings.
"Hm?" I questioned, looking at the one in front of me. He had scars running all over him and had the same pattern that Tsunami had. "Are you related to Tsunami? I don't recall her ever talking about any sea wing relatives" I said, deep in thought.
"Pathetic, that's his first response to being encircled by the sea wing guard?" One of the guards scoffed.
"I thought night wings were supposed to be smarter than that" Another replied.
"There must be some kind of confusion, I'm no night wing" I replied, however, I noticed something in the water below me, a rose in a wooden bowl. I then turned my attention back to the guard in front of me.
"So, what were you doing, following me for the past half-hour?" I asked, they seemed to be surprised that I knew that they were following me.
"You're in sea wing territory" A guard said bluntly.
"Look, I have somewhere to be, so, can I go now?" I asked, annoyed.
"You may not leave" The one in front of me replied.
"Well, where else am I to go?" I asked, again, annoyed. "The sky?" I mocked.
"To the sea wing prisons" He replied.
"Look, I just got out of the sky wing prisons with the dragonets of destiny, so, I need to get back to them, make sure they don't get themselves killed" I told them, turning around to fly the other way. However, I was blocked by two spears in an X-formation.
"Look, I don't have the patience for this" I said, crossing my arms. Two sea wings went to go and secure my arms, however, I quickly recoiled and hissed.
"Don't. Touch. Me" I hissed, coming up with an idea. I then closed my wings, causing me to drop, and opened them as I was about to hit the water. I then started flying as fast as I could right above the water's surface. I beat my wings three times faster than I ever had since I got here. I was able to barely out fly the sea wings due to my larger wings. I was able to make it to the beach, the frantic wing beats causing the dragonet's attention.
"Woah there! What's going on Crescent?" Clay asked.
"Eek! That's what Clay! Sea wing guards!" Glory yelled at him.
"What did you do this time?!" Tsunami yelled at me.
"I don't know!" I complained, dive bombed to avoid being caught. However, there was one catch, I was exhausted after pushing myself to hard. I fainting in the air, plummeting to the ground…
"We don't know if this is even curable!" I heard someone complain as I came to.
"You better find a way for my daughter's sake! I suspect she has a crush on this dragon!" At first, I didn't realize that a dragon with adorned with pearls was pointing to me.
"Mother! I don't have a crush on him! He's a very good friend that saved our lives!" I blinked my eyes open and rubbed them.
"Wha's goin on?" I slurred, not meaning to sound like a drunken man.
"He's coming to!" I blinked my eyes again and coughed.
"Oh right, I wanted to see if the sea wing doctors could cure your, death claws" Tsunami said.
"That's very nice, but, the only thing that could ever cure me would be magic" I replied, no longer slurring my words. I shook my head and got out of the bed. "I'm sorry, I don't think we've ever met, I'm Crescent" I said to the dragon adorned with pearls.
"Oh that's fine-" The dragon was cut off by Tsunami telling me she needed to talk to me, revealing who the dragon was.
"Oh, you're a princess, better put on some fancy stuff" I said, knowing Tsunami wouldn't like anything that would cause her to restrict her fighting abilities.
"Shut up!" She whispered as we walked around the corner back into the original room.
"I'm sorry, your majesty, I did not know" I said, respectfully bowing. I had a good feeling about the sea wing kingdom, at least I wouldn't be fighting for my life. Heh, boy was I wrong.
I followed Tsunami to the cave the others were in and she quickly left.
"Please tell me Clay is in chains because he lost a bet" I said, smacking my forehead.
"No, the guards decided to chain him up for some random reason!" Sunny complained.
"Probably because the sea wings are on the opposite side that the mud wings are on" Glory suggested.
"Good idea" I replied, not realizing that Glory turned her face away, hiding her face. I got to work figuring out how to release Clay of his chains. This could take a while.
When I was being rapidly shook, I woke up to see it pouring rain outside, the water level already up to my dragon ankles.
"Oh" I deadpanned.
"You need to find the keys!" Glory exclaimed. I nodded and flew out of the cave, flying to the lowest level of the huge stone pavilion. I held in my breath as I plunged into the water. I saw Tsunami talking to some guards on a higher level as I disappeared under the water. I made a motion for the guards to give me the set of keys they had. At first, they didn't comply but then I gave them a death glare, then they handed me the keys. I burst out of the water and flew to the cave behind Tsunami.
"Wrong keys!?" She exclaimed. I then coughed and threw the keys I received to her. We unlocked the locks and flew to a higher level with a fire in it.
I was the first one to wake up, feeling a pair of eyes boring into me. I looked up and saw a female sand wing that was observing me.
"Why, hello there" I said, confused. "How may I help you?" I said, grinning as I stood up.
"I was just looking for the dragonets, seems that I found them, Coral! They're up here!"
"Hmm, odd, she doesn't address the queen by her proper title" I thought, observing the sand wing, she seemed to notice and looked at me, further observing me.
"Oh, this is great!" Oh no, I realized, as the dragonets woke up and Tsunami suggested that the dragonets have breakfast with them, I have to go to a fancy breakfast and, socialize. I was internally screaming.
Turns out, I was the only one cleared to have breakfast with the sea wings, which was really annoying. I was sat next to Blister, even more of annoyance, and waited for what felt like an hour before actually eating.
"So, what are your hobbies?" Blister tried asking, trying to learn more about me.
"Um, that's a bit, complicated" I said, getting a look from the dragons at the table. "But! I do like to, write…" I said, knowing that they had scrolls, which meant people read and wrote in scrolls, whether it be fiction or truth.
"Hmm? What do you like to write about?" queen Coral asked.
"Um, mostly fantasy, magic, humor, stuff like that" I answered, a little awkwardly.
"Do you have any with you?" The queen of the sea wings asked, absolutely thrilled about an author in her midst.
"Um, I left them back at my home, not expecting to write until I got back, but, complications arose…"
"Oh, such as?" Blister asked, now intrigued.
"Such as, being captured by queen Scarlet" I said awkwardly, trying to avoid the question of where I came from.
"That's when he met us, he had the guts to annoy Scarlet, singing until she threatened to kill!" Tsunami exclaimed, smirking at the memory.
"Hm? You really did that?" queen Coral asked.
"I have the habit to, get on dragon's nerves, a lot" I answered, now answering with a real smile.
So, now more of the real Crescent appears! Humorous and annoying to his enemies and friends alike. Well, more humorous to friends, but, anyways, that's another chapter done! Oh, and, I'm going to be doing a Transformer's Prime story as well, but that will be, after this one. Which is why I'm sad and pumped at the same time to finish this story. Remember to unleash your imagination!
