Well, here's another one. Perseverance, I read your suggestions, and one of them interested me. Jamblaze (jambu x Blaze) I read the wiki on them and they make a perfect match personality-wise, and I've done a lot of thinking. Just leave a comment and check out my other stories. Also, check my Wattpad; Paytunes. You'll enjoy the story I have written there. One more thing, I ship Blaze with my OC Dusk, so feel free to ask for that, and he will show up in a later story. So enjoy Jamblaze.
Blaze POV:
Today was a pretty good day today. Today I was selected by Queen Thorn to do some community service along with some other sandwings, whatever that is. It's some sort of way to strengthen the tribe's relationship. Thank the moons it's helping the nicest tribe in Pyrrhia, the rainwings. Oh, she also said it could help me with learning things, cause apparently some think I'm air-headed and ditsy. Well, I'm smarter than they think. I know things. I know the Dragonets of Destiny. They're like my friends. I mean, sure they didn't give me the throne, but honestly, I think Thorn is a much better queen than I could. "Blaze come on!" Thorn yelled. Oh right I'm packing things. "I'm coming." I called down.
I hurried down the stares and outside. "Blaze, if you keep this up, I'll move you to prison guard." Thorn said rather rudely. "Understood your highness." I said. She knows me so well, I hate the prisons. "Well, we're ready." I said gesturing to the other sandwings with supplies and things. "Well, here we go. And Blaze," Thorn said. "Please try to stay focused." I nodded and we all took off. I can stay focused. I'll show her I'm a capable servant. I just need to do better than everyone expects of me.
After an hour of flying, we reached the rainwing village. It, was, amazing. Colors everywhere, and so many friendly rainwings. This was a dream come true. Everything was great. We arrived at Queen Glory's hut and awaited to be let inside. We expected Glory to come out, but instead the assassin that nearly scarred my neck came outside. The rainwing outside bowed to him. When did he become king? "Well, Queen Thorn. Nice to see you're here to help out the rainwings." he said. I gave him a glare, but he didn't notice. "Yes, King Deathbringer. Were shall we begin?" Thorn said with a bow. "I think you can start with helping improve the hut's stability." he said gesturing to everywhere. "Of course." Thorn said, and we set off to help.
I flew around helping with improving the huts. I managed to get two or three, but it was taking too long. I need help, I can't do this on my own. But then again, I'll look like I'm just a useless air-headed sandwing. I refuse to be that. I can do this. You're Blaze, daughter of Queen Oasis, and you can show them what you can do. I took a deep breath, and continued on. I flew for a bit looking for more huts to work on, then I hits a branch for the fourteenth time. I landed on a deck thankfully and not the ground, which was a long way down. Then my head hurt a whole lot more than all the other times I hit a branch. I got up to my claws, and saw a rainwing on the deck just in front of me. "Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't see you there." I said helping him up. "It's not your fault Blaze, it's my stupid brother talking while flying. Again." said a voice almost too familiar above me. I looked up to see Queen Glory with an annoyed look. "Oh your highness." I said bowing to her. "Please Blaze, don't bow. And again, it's my brother's fault." she said glaring at the rainwing I collided with. "Are you two ok? You need to go see the healer?" Glory asked. "No I'm good." Glory's brother and I said at the same time. "Well, how about you help out Blaze with whatever she needs help with. I'll be back in a bit" Glory said flying off.
"Well, it's nice to meet you." I said. He turned a bright pink color and smiled. "Nice to meet you too. I'm Jambu." "Nice name." I complimented. We stood for a second, then I remembered what I was doing. "Oh, uh. Can you help me out with improving the huts around here?" I asked. "Sure, I'd be glad to." he said. we took off to wherever. I kept hitting a branch every now and then. I about had enough and landed on a branch. It took Jambu a bit to notice I stopped. He came back and landed on the branch next to me. "Is something wrong?" he asked. "It's just these stupid branches, I can't fly five seconds without hitting one." I said then sighed. "I'd be happy to teach you, I'm a tree-gliding instructor. " Jambu said turning a brighter pink. "Oh really? Thanks." I said. "Well here's how you do it. It's kinda like swimming, but in trees while flying." he said spreading his wings. "Then just follow my lead." he said leaping off. I followed suit and learned how to tree-glide like a rainwing. It was surprisingly easy. Not as easy as a rainwing could do it, but easy. Then before i knew it, we were in another section of the village.
"Hey, how about while we're here, let's help out." I said. "Ok, looks like that hut needs more support." Jambu said pointing to one hut. We went over to the hut and overlooked the damage. "Looks like we need more vines to help support it." Jambu said. "Ok, I'll get some from over there." I said flying to get some vines. I cut a few vines from the tree and brought them back to Jambu. "Ok, now we need a few over here to support the hut." I went over and tied them together. "Ok need some over here." Jambu said. I went over and tossed him some vines. I tied some down and Jambu went up to tie it to the tree. He seemed to be struggling though. "Need help?" I asked. "No, hold it there, or we'll have to start over." He said reaching the branch. "It's just short." he said, then he finally got it there. I sighed. Then there was a sickening crack. We looked at each other, in horror. Then the branch snapped and we were thrown around and around by the vines. The world was spinning and finally it stopped. When my vision stopped spinning, I noticed me and Jambu were tied together in vines and we were dangerously close to each other's snouts.
I blushed when I saw our position. "Well this is awkward." Jambu said turning an embarrassed pink. "Oh come on Jambu, I leave for ten minutes and you're already almost kissing her? I mean, from my experience, you two are a complete match." We both blushed a bit more at that comment. "Well, maybe some help would be nice." I said. Glory rolled her eyes and cut the vines that held us up. We fell a few feet and landed on the ground with a thud. "You know what. I'm just gonna give you two a day off. I just can't trust you two to help work on huts." Glory said landing near us. "But that's the exact opposite of what I'm hear for." I said to her. "Blaze, I know you want to help. Maybe you can help with the arboretum." she suggested. "And please don't cause any more damage than you already have." with that, she flew off.
"Um, Glory?" I asked. "Glory? We're still stuck." Then I got an idea. "Ok Jambu, hold still, don't move ok." I informed. "Wait, why?" he asked. "I'm gonna cut us out with my tail." I said. I managed to get my tail in the right place to get us out. "Wait wait wait, please don't. I don't feel like getting stung!" he begged, but I went ahead and cut the vine. He closed his eyes, but all that happened was vines loosening and me getting away as quick as I could. he opened his eyes, and I offered my claw to help him up. He got up and said, "Thank you for not stabbing me." I smiled. "I've been working on using my tail." I said waving it around. "It comes in handy in more ways than killing." I said. "Well good. Now how about we head to the arboretum?" he said. "Oh right. Lead the way." then we flew off.
We arrived and apparently there was nothing to do there. "Don't worry, Glory was just trying to get rid of us." Jambu said. "Well, I get that she doesn't trust us, but I don't get why she won't give us a chance to prove we're useful. Ug, it's Thorn all over again." I said sighing. "Hang on there. I think there is something wrong." He said walking over to the Queen's pavilion, which was roped off. "Maybe there was something to work on." I said walking over. I looked around and everything looked fine. "Come on, maybe it's further in." I said going in. Jambu slowly followed me in. We looked around but found nothing. "Well, that's weird. Nothing's here." I said, but I spoke too soon. There was a a sequence of clicking and things, then we both fell down to the ground, and he landed on top of me. "HA! Got em." a random rainwing said, "Glory says you're work is done" he said flying away. We looked at each other, then we broke out laughing. "Well, that happened." I said still giggling. "Yeah. How about I show you something?" Jambu said. "Sure." I said getting up. Then we both took off, me following him.
Later we were in the village on a platform, watching the sunset. "Wow, who knew it was more beautiful here?" I said marveling at the view. "Yeah, the rainforest is easily the most beautiful place in Pyrrhia." Jambu said smiling. I continued watching, but something caught my eye. I looked over to see two rainwings. They appeared to be kissing. "Who are those two?" I asked pointing to the two rainwings. Jambu looked over to them, "Oh, they're Orchid and Mangrove. They're mates." That made a lot of sense. "I guess they really love each other." I commented. "Yeah," Jambu agreed, "I wonder what love feels like?" Then I remembered something. "I don't personally know what it feels like, but I can kinda give a description." I said. "Oh? Wel, how about you tell me?" Jambu said.
"Just so you know, my mother told me this, but it was a while ago. So it'll be kinda vague." I said. "I'm sure you'll be fine." he said. I laughed a little and continued. "Well, she said it feels like the one thing that completes you. Like, when you first meet your soon-to-be love, you get a little flustered and tend to have a loss of words. And you blush whenever something happens to both of you, and you sometimes laugh at something they said, even though it was pointless. And you feel happy when they're there, and heartbroken when they're sad or hurt. And your heart-rate speeds up when you touch, and you just feel at home with them. Like, they're beyond your best friend, they're so much more." I explained and our eyes met. "It feels like they are the one thing," we happen to get a little closer, "that makes you feel," we were right in front of each other, "like you two are one. and nothing can separate you two." We were mere centimeters from each other now.
We almost leaned in, but someone said, "There you two are. I've been looking everywhere." We immediately stepped away from each other quickly before Glory could see what was about to happen. "The nightwings need your help, and you two are the only ones still awake." she said and she turned a bit orange. "Come on." She took off and we followed. We got to a house and were quickly ushered inside. Oh man, I hate nightwings. They're scary. "About time." said a voice from behind a shelf full of odd liquids and other stuff. "Mastermind, here's your help. Have a good night." Glory said leaving. We sat silent for a bit, then Mastermind spoke. "So, chop chop. I need help with these." he said going back to whatever. "I need these all sorted out. And please don't drop, or spill or break anything." he said pointing to some odd liquids. We did as told and we were almost done really fast. I just had one box left. "I'll get it." I said picking it up. "Up there ok?" Mastermind said pointing to the top shelf. I put it up there, and we were done. "Ok thank you." he said. I nodded, but I heard something, thanks to sandwing's sharp hearing. One bottle of something was rocking, and it fell. I leaped to catch it. I did mange to get it in my claws, but upon contact it burst into shards and a weird gas burst out. I coughed and got back from it as quick as I could. Mastermind picked up a label and said, "Oh boy." I was frightened, then suddenly everything went black, and I fell.
I woke up in a bed, and a very comfortable one at that. I opened my eyes and got up slowly. I was still woosy but I could manage. "She lives." said Jambu. "What?" I asked. "Don't worry I'm joking. That think back at Mastermind's house was just some experimental gas form of what we use on rainwing darts." he said. I growled a little for scaring me. "Well, how was your sleep?" he asked. "No dreams. So boring." I replied. We were silent for a bit, then he spoke. "So about earlier," he trailed off. I went up to him. He was about to speak, but I stopped him by putting a talon on his mouth. "I know what you're going to say." I said, "and I know. I feel the same way." Then I removed my talon, then pressed my snout to his. I pulled back a little, but he then leaned in to kiss me. Then we both kissed foe who knows how long. We pulled away. he turned an embarrassed pink, and I blushed. "Well," I said. "That was fun." I started towards the door, but Jambu stopped me. "Thorn already left, and I happen to have an extra bed." he said. I smiled. "Thanks." I said going to my bed. He took his bed. "Good night." he said. "Good night," I returned, "Love." Then with a smile, I went into my bed and fell asleep with happy dreams.
