Mustafar
(Someone favorite this. That means I actually have to get chapters out faster. Thinking of changing this to an M rating. Because there was birth, even if it was vague, and something else kind of M material coming up. So if it disappears that's why.)
Sky woke up to pain in her foot. She let out a roar and jumped up. One of her feet was on fire! She hit it with her tail until the fire went out. She growled and looked at the damage. Her scales were meant to protect her, at least to some degree, from fire. So if she had felt pain, it couldn't be good. A fair number of her scales had burnt off. Wonderful. One metal foot, one burnt.
Then she realized something. If her foot had been on fire, there was a fire nearby! She looked back to where she'd fainted. Sky's eyes widened. There was river of lava sitting there. Not normal.
Then she sneezed. Fire came spraying out and hit the lava, causing a small explosion. She sniffed in. In the back of her mind she noticed her shoulders itched again, but at the moment she didn't really care. Her problems seemed to be getting bigger. So, what now?
Sky looked around. Her ship was totaled, and the only things in view were mountains and lava. This would be a problem considering she had no intention of living here. In fact, she didn't even know if it was possible to live here. She was already hungry; did this planet even have life?
Well I won't find out just standing here. Sky began to clamber across the mountains. This wasn't the easiest task when she didn't want to put weight on her burnt foot, but she was a dragon, and they could do well at almost anything.' after a while Sky came to another river of lava. This time though, something was different. There were droids.
Sky licked her lips. She zoomed down, grabbed on in her jaws, and shot away again. The only problem was, when she bit into the droid, it dropped its lava bucket. Sky jumped out of the way with a frustrated growl until the lava had cleared. Then she could eat the droid. That would keep her hunger down, and it also helped her realize something else. If there were droids on this planet, there must be some controlling them, and that meant there must be a way off this planet. Right?
She walked back to the river of lava and started going the opposite direction it was flowing. There were more droids here, but they seemed wary of her. Shockingly enough. Sky thought sarcastically. She gave them an evil glare and watched in amusement as they sped away.
She walked against the river flow for a while, until she came to a cliff side. The problem was, if she wanted to keep going, she'd have to go up.
Well, I've come this far. It's up I go. Sky jumped into the cliff face and dug her three good claws into it. It's a good thing I learned to climb with three limbs when the emperor cut one off. She thought. The going was slow, and the ground had a way of crumbling under her metal foot. She had to keep readjusting. If there's nothing at the top of this I'm going to be so pissed.
That's when she did something she forgot she was doing. She sneezed. Her grip on the wall loosened and she started to fall. She grabbed the cliff side with her metal foot. But with only one foot keeping her to the wall, the rest of her kept falling. Her head slammed into the cliff face, and horns got stuck there. She jerked her head, trying to get it out of the wall. It didn't work. Alright, new approach.
Sky let go of the wall with her metal foot. She flipped down and her horns came out of the wall, though they did take a little wall with them. Being extremely flexible, another problem was the she fell backwards a bit, but with her hind feet in the cliff she wasn't going far. She got fully attacked back on the cliff and continued her climb.
After that, it was fairly simple. Sky reached the top, and there was something there. It was a building of some sort. It was on the other side of the lava river.
Sky looked at the lava river. There were some droids here, but there was no way they'd be big enough for her to jump on. Then what looked like rubble came floating by. Sky jumped onto it. After a quick look around she quickly realized there was no other ruble to jump on. She made a mental no to start thinking her actions through.
Sky lifted her tail up and tensed, crunching the scales closer together. Then she smacked her tail against the lava. Aside from being painful, it had the desired effect. Her piece of rubble flew through the lava, getting her closer to the opposite bank. Once close enough she shot off and scrambled away.
Sky climbed up to the building. The landing dock was empty of ships. Well, there still could be someone around who can help me. She thought. She had to get off this planet. Droids could keep her fed for a while, but she needed meat.
She entered the building and looked around. There was no one there. Not even a droid. Now what do I do?
