The group had been flying for about thirty minutes. Audio, who was carrying Lilac, Starflight, and Sunny took the rear, with Clay taking middle and Tsunami and Glory leading them.
It was a bit quiet during that time, in which the MimicWing didn't enjoy. It was just, kinda awkward to him.
". . .so, uh. How'd you find everybody?" Starflight asked Audio as they flew, glancing towards the ground with interest every once in a while.
"Oh. . .uh, like said previously, I. . .panicked, and accidentally got Sunny near her eye, after I told her where to wash her wound, the other three found me, and 'interrogated' me. . .and then Glory slammed me against a rock, which I don't blame her. Well, after that, they take me to their temporary camp, and. . .yeah".
The NightWing tilted his head. He pointed to the Gryphon below, who was sleeping, again. "What about Lilac?" he asked.
Audio turned to the feather-ball he carried, ". . .I just, found her. Crying in tall grass, she was frightened of me when she came out of it. . .saying that us dragons have been hunting them down, which I don't know how- Gryphons don't exist here. . .she doesn't know how she got here. And that prophecy of yours changed, somehow".
It shouldn't have even happened, the prophecy was supposed to be fake!
". . .I don't know much, but, Lilac can't be from here".
Sunny nodded slowly, putting an arm to her chin, ". . .odd" she said.
Starflight's gaze was enough of an agreement, he sped up a bit, reaching the MudWing ahead and engaging in coversation.
Audio glanced at Sunny. . .and the crusted scratch under her eye. He realized that the mark took part of her bottom eyelid aswell. . .likely what caused sight problems. How would it effect her sight? Did my claw go through, somehow?
"Is your eye alright, I mean, can you see stuff alright?"
Instantly, her gaze softened, and an unreadable emotion flickered in her eyes, "Oh. . .yeah, it's fine".
Her tone of voice. . , she had to be lieing, she just sounded awful, she sounded upset.
"Are you sure? You don't sound too gleeful. . ."
"Yep! It's all good!"
"Sunny, you can tell the truth". He flew the least bit closer. This only responded with a long sigh from the SandWing, the glint now turning. . .into guilt?
"Oh. . .Audio, I don't know if you want to know. . .It's just- worse, I guess".
The grey dragonet surpressed a gasp, he covered his eyes with his palms, a clear indicator of stress, ". . .how bad?"
A brief silence fell upon her, she faced the far ground and she flapped her wings once, ". . .it blurs for minutes at a time. . .Audio, I don't want to freak you out, but- I'm kinda scared. . .I don't wanr to lose sight in any eyes," she spoke this a.
Audio had his own long sigh, "I'm- I'm so sorry, Sunny". He still had his claws over his eyes.
"No-no, it's fine, look, Audio, it was just an accident".
"If it were an accident, nothing like this shouldn't have happened. . ." he breathed.
Sunny glanced away from him, and then back, a slight smile formed on her face, ". . .I would give you a hug if I could while flying".
Audio let out a single laugh. A singular laugh. "You, you are just my favorite one of the five".
They had reached a resting point, finally. They had reached a nice shaded spot in forest, which was along side a beach.
Clay had sat immediately. Starflight, with Lilac admiring him at his side, had looked at the sky as he told Tsunami to get away from the beach, as she was able to be easily spotted.
Glory had stared at Audio, once again, studying him, as he and Sunny watched the two go back and forth.
". . .Tsunami doesn't seem to enjoy restraints all too much".
"No", Sunny nodded, "No she does not".
The MimicWing noticed the Gryphon next to the NightWing, ". . .Lilac really seems to like Starflight".
The Sandwing laughed, "He must be really inspirational".
"I mean, he is Starflight- isn't he supposed to be, like, really smart?"
"He's very smart". She smiled.
Wait a minute. . .does Starflight still love Sunny?. . .why do I care?Almost as he finished that thought, Tsunami ran towards the ocean. Starflight reached out, calling her name, but she just kept on going. . .swimming away.
Glory had padded up and put claw on his shoulder, as he was about to pursue, "Let her go. . .she'll come back".
Lilac had frowned, "But she can be found, and-"
"She won't be found. I can assure you she won't be found".
Clay had gotten up, but sat back down, simply watching the surroundings.
Sunny was confused, and she seemed a bit surprised aswell, "Well. . .I guess Lilac is really influenced by him now. . .she even agrees with him!"
Audio nodded.
". . .I feel like that may be a bad thing".
