The Silent-Eater hissed and growled violently towards Midnight and the unconscious Silver. His face no longer dripped blood; the cuts caused by Silver now sealed up.
His spines stood straight, ready to be flung at a moment's notice.
"He didn't put up much of a fight, did he?" He asked her.
Midnight didn't anwser, instead cuddling closer to her brother. Her eyes held tears that were refusing to fall.
In an unexpected turn of events, Midnight charged at the larger snake-like dragon. With all her might, she leaped and rammed into his head, knocking him off balance just long enough for her to sink her claws into his flank. She dragged her claws down, scrapping off some of his scales and drawing small portions of blood from the cuts. Continuing in her attack, she began to bite down, sinking her teeth into the dragons snake-like body, but it had little effect against him.
He charged out of the cave, violently twisting in an attempt to fling her off, and he was successful.
With a mighty fling of his tail, he threw her against the rocks, a sickening cracking sound filled the silence as her right wing bones snapped and broke with the force.
Midnight dropped to the ground, weak and barely able to keep her eye's open.
Before darkness overtook all of her sense's, she saw the Silent-Eater approaching her, slowly - cautiously.
"Don't fear what's coming" he told her, before her eyes fell heavy from exhaustion and weakness.
The dragon circler her unmoving form, smirking in an evil manor. "That wasn't as fun as I thought" he groaned, "But then again, he did say I could have some 'fun' of my own when I was finished with them" he chuckles, a sick smile plastering itself on his cut riddled face. The dragon stopped circling her when he was directly behind her form, closing the distance between themselves quickly. Once he was behind her, he pushed her onto her back, first checking to make sure she was still unconscious.
After assuring himself he wouldn't have his 'activity' interrupted, he slowly began to lower his head, but it instantly jerked back when a new voice filled the air - a voice he recognised.
"Even I didn't think you were that sick" the voice said in an appalled tone.
The smile on the Whispering Death's face dropped, being replaced with a shocked expression.
"BlightFox?" he whimpered.
"The one and only!" the voice roared, the owner dropping from the shadows of the night sky.
The night fury sized fox-dragon stood in-front of his foe, his spikes that flattened against his crimson red body now stood erect, the wings folded at his side. His golden eyes shined in the darkness, being the only major visible part of his battle-scarred body.
"I... Though the Queen killed you, when... you lead that rebellion with Toxinspine..." the whispering death whimpers.
"Obviously you thought wrong, Snakefang" BlightFox mocks the Whispering Death's name.
Unaware to the Whispering death, a third NightHowler carefully descended onto the ground, silently dragging Midnight into the cave, and standing guard at the entrance. Snakefang sensed something was amiss, and turned to face the newcommer. The two dragons closed in on Snakefang, both baring their fangs at him.
"Look, BlighFox... NightHowler... I don't have a problem with you, ok... just those two hatchlings inside that cave" he tries to reasons.
"Just as I remember you... can't fight dragons who can defend themselves, you always pick on young hatchlings, beating them, torturing them, abusing them... killing them...raping the females... YOUR A SICK TWISTED PIECE OF SHIT! You don't deserve to live... not after what you done... especially to my... my Vixel... you... YOU!" BlightFox bursts into a fit of rage and fury, releasing howls and roars that cracked the silence, rolling over the land.
Before anyone could understand the situation, BlightFox was already digging his claws into Snakefang's face. Using his legs, BlighFox propelled himself off of his opponent, his claws tearing large parts of his scaley armour off as he detached from him, bringing with him a decent amount of dirt green scales, some of which were stained with blood, old and fresh. Snakefang let out a ear splitting cry of pain, which was followed by another cry.
The new attacker appeared to be the new NightHowler, the dragon's bright emerald eyes, glowing against her jet black body. Her pupils were invisible slits in the glowing fields, her claws digging deep into the stone and dirt she stood upon. Her wings were spread wide, and her fangs were bared, showing their full power. She lowered her body to the ground, preparing to pounce at a moment's notice, but thankfully she didn't have to.
"You...heh...ow... ahhhh...I don't want anymore of this... please I'll just go... You don't need... ahhha owwww... to kill me" Snakefang, wheezes out, now at the mercy of BlightFox.
"BlightFox" the female NightHowler called the fox-like dragons name, receiving no response. "BlighFox!" she shouted, this time gaining his attention.
"What?" he growled...
"I know the pain you feel... about Vixel... but killing him won't make it hurt any less... I promise you that... BlightFox... let him go..." she tries to calm the enraged dragon.
After a few deep breaths, the vulpus dragon pupils left their dagger-thin form, returning to normal as his anger flooded out of his body. The Vulpus leaped off Snakefang, growling darkly. The Whispering Death wasted no time, fleeing from the scene with speed never seen before.
As the sun began to rise on the horizon, the two adult dragons approached the cave, their eyes falling on the two hatchling occupants, the female NightHowler approached both of the hatchlings, looking over their injuries.
"Mystery, will these two survive?" BlighFox asks her.
"Yes, the female will survive, although it will take a long for her wing to fully heal... whereas the male, will definitely make a full recovery... I just need to remove these spines... They're not toxic... right?" Mystery asks, not having much knowledge about Silent-Eaters.
"They are toxic, but no where near as dangerous as those Nadder's, just increases a victims fatigue, though enough of them can kill dragons of their age and strength... He'll make it... two arent strong enough... I hope" BlightFox informs her...
