He awoke in the same exact void from two days prior. The blackness that he called "Intermission".

Audio had. . .mixed feelings with it. So far, half of it had been peaceful, and quiet. While the other half has been confusing.

He sighed, and then, the area had slowly started to brighten into a white void. Then, in almost an instant, the same dragonet had appeared from his previous experience.

"Oh. . .uh, hey, Cobalt". Though, the blue dragonet had covered his head, and basically his whole body with his wings, like before.

"You're still shy? Oh, bud, I promise-" he stopped himself. He heard something come from him.

A sniff. . .he's upset, he thought.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he said, slowly approaching the dragonet, his grey arm reaching out to his back. He had realized that his lower arms and legs morphed into a darker grey the further down someone looked.

Cobalt had lowered the wing that covered his head, and brought down it to it's resting spot. A stone tablet (instead of paper), feather, and ink appeared to his side, similar to last time.

He had lifted it up, another sniff coming from him. It took about a minute of writing, and the dragonet offered the stone to the MimicWing.

I went too far from the Kingdom, it read, I don't know how to go back home. . .I was chased by a SkyWing patrol into a large area of trees. I'm close to the beach, and I'm scared that a shark will eat me. I am able to see smoke in the distance over trees. . .I'm scared that it's the SkyWings.

Oh. My. Fuck. He didn't enjoy saying swears, but his mind was a free zone to himself.

"Alright. . .you and I are going to have to wake up- okay, I' m with some friends, next to a beach close to the Sea Kingdom. If our fire is lit, I'll extinguish it, alright? I'm going to relight it and extinguish it three times, then I leave it lit. If you see the three smoke signals, off and on, go towards it. . .alright?"

The younger dragon tilted his head, extreme concern, and likely worry. . .aswell as a bit of being petrified. Though, he nodded. He had closed his eyes, tightly, and he slowly faded.

Audio had smiled, and he had done the same.

He had instantly awoken to the night sky, stars shined seperately.

The MimicWing had quickly gotten up from his spot, yet silently. He had almost ran to the fire, he looked around for the bucket that Lilac had used with her leg, which had basically healed, unless counting a large mark that was barely visible, and the slight pain she still bore.

He had ran to the sea-water, and swiftly got a full bucket of it. Audio moved back, and grabbed flint from a pile of rocks that Lilac had collected for Glory.

He had poured about a fourth of the water over the fire, and it quickly went out, steam flying out of it in a giant cloud.

Thank goodness that the fire is big enough to make smoke. . .and not big enough to make this fire even worse.

He had grabbed the flint, and a rock that surrounded the fire, it took a few seconds of smashing the flint against the rock, and a fire came back.

Audio repeated this, and when he had relit the fire for the last time, he just watched the smoke slowly drift back into the air.

A quiet sigh came from him as he went back to where he lay before. He plopped down, though. He didn't feel as tired. . .still tired, but- he felt the least bit energized.

He had opened his eyes one more time, he looked at Lilac, then to Sunny. A smile came to his face as he finally felt the cloak of slumber wash over him, as the sound of ocean waves comforted him.

He woke up to the pink sky over him, it was early morning. He lifted his head up, and instantly, he noticed that both Sunny and Lilac were gone. He turned to the beach, and he didn't see them.

Audio groaned as he got up. He stretched his legs a bit as he stepped over a now burnt out fire, and went to the coastline. He looked to his left, nobody, and then to his right.

There they are. He saw the SandWing and Gryphon approaching as they giggled and talked to eachother.

"Oh, good morning, Audio", Sunny said as she approached him.

"Hey. . .where did you go?"

"Oh, just on a walk, you know, to look around?"

He had nodded, and had noticed that Lilac was holding a purple starfish, which she placed on the ground and watched it, "Sounds wonderful. . .though, Starflight wouldn't enjoy it".

". . .yeah- oh my goodness, Audio, look!" she instantly pointed behind him, and he turned.

A certain SeaWing was padding along the line. The problem was that Cobalt looked awful.

His ribs were showing, he was skinny, he looked exhausted. Bags were clear to see under the dragonet's eyes, he was stumbling.

"Oh my. . .Cobalt" he said aloud. The dragonet then collasped to the sand, and Sunny and him sprinted over.

"Are you alright?!" Audio asked, but it seemed that the dragonet had passed out. . .how did this happen?

The MimicWing lifted the dragonet up, which was no issue, as he was basically a body of only bones. He had ran over to where the temporary camp was, if they could call it that.

Starflight and Glory were already up, and had made it about half way towards them, "Come on! Get him over here" Glory ordered. "Starflight, fresh water- Sunny, you find a fish or fruit or something!"

The two dragons went off, and Audio had stuck by the dragonet's side as Glory put her palm to his forehead, "He's, like, really feverish. . .you," she pointed to the MimicWing, "grab a leaf from a tree, and soak it into the ocean, make sure it's cold".

"Got it!"

". . .Glory, he's the one in my dream".

The two had been able to atleast control the fever. . .barely. Sunny was able to supply both fish and fruit for the dragonet, who struggled to even eat. If anything, he had to be given food when he was asleep. Cobalt had kept his eyes closed the whole time, and barely seemed to be awake.

"Audio. How did he find us?"

A sigh came from the MimicWing, "I-I gave him a smoke signal in the middle in the night. . .he had gotten lost and was frightened of being alone".

"Though," he continued, "He looked WAY better in the dream. He looked healthy as hell!"

". . .I'm guessing that's another human swear?" Glory whispered this to him.

"Not nessecarily, it's just where people go when they mess up badly in life after they die. . .and when I say mess up, I mean like do a crime".

"Oh," the RainWing nodded. "Well, you did the right thing Audio, you helped him. . .he would've probably died in hours if he hadn't come to us".

"Yeah. . ." then he noticed something. Above the ocean, a blue creature flew towards the shore.

"Wait- oh my. There's Tsunami".

Then he noticed a another dragon behind her.

And Riptide. Who is he going to attack??

. . .he better not touch Lilac or Sunny.

Nor Glory. . .because she's chill, and cool.

Not Starflight, because he's smart and cool.

And not Clay. . .because he's kind and cool.

My god, they really have grown on me.
