It had been thirty minutes of no return from Glory and Lilac, It just takes time. . .it just takes time. . , he had thought this when ever he pondered on where they were. Though, he couldn't help from being worried.

Sunny had come to his side, her face showing disquiet, ". . .you seem tense, Audio".

"Yep. . .I'm just, unaware on how long it would take for Lilac to learn".

"It takes quite a bit. . .I guess for you it felt fast for you?"

He couldn't tell if a chill went down his spine or a soft breeze came by, if only I was here then, "Heh. Yeah, guess so".

She had sat down, her now clouded eye, accompanied with a scar, looking towards the ground as her other quite alluring grey-green eye did, "I guess your not the only one".

"What do you mean by that?"

A soft, audible sigh came from her, ". . .I'm just worried

Seagulls cawed from above as they flew in a V shape. Audio had turned his head to her, commiseration filling any thoughts, "I'm always here to try to cheer you up, Sunny, if you didn't know".

"And you say try? It has worked all past times. . .anyways, I'm aware, Audio," she said with a brilliant smile, "thank you".

He had nodded. Under the blue glint of the ever so shining sun, he noticed Tsunami talking to Riptide, interest seeming to be dominant within her, "I'm going to talk to Tsunami and the other guy for a bit. . .be back".

He had slowly padded towards the two, which Tsunami did a quick wave as she simply stared at Riptide talk, as he occasionally glared at the MimicWing. "So, yeah, Aquatic may possibly be the least bit difficult to learn, but, I'd believe you'd get it down".

She had nodded as a claw departed her chin, "So. . .when do you think Glory will get back?"

"Oh", Audio sighed, "No idea, I don't know what Lilac's take of flying or knowledge of it is".

Riptide snorted as he looked over at Cobalt. "You should go check on the kid over there. It'd give you something to do". He then continued to explain about SeaWing stuff, in which Tsunami looked the least bit more grumpy. She had mouthed an simple "Sorry" towards Audio as he turned.

Fine Riptide, be more of an ass. . .I didn't realize he was even like this.

He had made it to the dragonets side. He had still been asleep, the occasional groan or sniffle escaping his mouth. Cobalt atleast looked the very minimum better. He was for sure still not able to move, but, he looked better.

Almost as the grey dragonet had sat by his side, his head adjusted and his eyes slighty unlocked from slumber. A quiet yawn had came from him as he poked Audio's talon.

"What, bud?"

Cobalt had then slightly moved his back wings. All the MimicWing could do was try to guess what he was saying or asking, "I want to get moving too. . .not long. I'll be carrying you back, okay?"

He had nodded, before his eyes slowly fastened together. Poor kid, having to get lost and not with your family. . .it sounds awful.

And relatable. . .I wonder how- how would I find everybody, and if I ever will find them.

He sighed as he then noticed Clay with a few fruits in talon. Audio had padded over. ". . .would you like to have one?" Clay said as he took a bite of one that looked like an orange.

"Eh, I guess" he said, taking a pointy pink and green one, likely a dragonfruit, he thought of how it could be turned into a pun.

"So-" Audio said, finishing a refreshing taste of it, "-what do you think of everything going on?"

There was a silence from Clay has he just stared at the fruit in his claws, ". . .strange, if anything. No other way I can describe it".

"Yeah, yeah. . .sure is odd". He sighed back.

"And the least bit uncomfortable" Starflight basically just popped in between the two. There being enough room for him, the MimicWing just didn't notice him.

"How did you get there. By teleporting?"

The NightWing had laughed a bit, "Oh. . .I wish. Imagine if anyone could, it would be freaky".

Clay had let out his own few laughs, and he took a bite of another fruit. "Oh, it would be so convenient though!"

"You know, I have a debate for you," Audio said, pointing at the two. "which is better to have, super strength or super speed?"

Almost instantly, Starflight had said speed, with Clay saying strength. They were about to object to eachother, but Audio raised a talon and walked back to where Sunny had been, which was next to Cobalt.

Once he took those steps, he lowered his arm, in which a quiet debate had ensued. "Gives them something to do," he said simply.

He had noticed that the SandWing occasionally slid her palm over the SeaWing's smooth head to comfort him, which he had seemed to like. Then, the bushes rustled as he noticed a RainWing a Gryphon emerge.

"Welcome back," he had said to Glory as she smiled at him as she went to Tsunami and Riptide. Audio had noticed the male SeaWing point at Clay, Sunny, and him. . .oddly not Starflight.

"You get Clay, and you Sunny. . .find a leaf or whatever," Glory didn't sound happy as she grabbed a large leaf from the tree, "Sorry. . .guess you have to be blindfolded".

"And he isn't making you nor Starflight put one on?"

"No," she responded, "He said we're going to be guiding you guys with your blindfolds and stuff"

She put it on over his eyes and tied it to the back of his head, he saw green, but mostly black. "That should do it. . .I'm going to be carrying Cobalt and stuff. . .you know, to make this easier".

He nodded as he just sighed, Riptide is seriously crazy. Let's just hope no one crashes into the ocean. . .that would be bad.

"This is going to be rough".

Although the blindfold worked the way it was supposed to, Audio kind of enjoyed it. It was oddly calming with the faint light shining through and the wind being blown past his ears. I better not fall asleep to this, he thought.

The group flown for about thirty minutes as of now. The blindfolded dragonets had been put it in two lines, like a side by side convoy.

Sunny was placed next to him. Likely so they could talk, with Clay and Starflight taking the back. Lilac wasn't forced to put on a blind fold, so she said goodbye to the two and flew up ahead with Glory. From what he could hear, they seemed to be having a fun chat.

". . .so, how have you been doing?" Audio said awkwardly, attempting a start up their own conversation. He only thing he could see was the bright sunlight over his own blindfold.

"It's been great so far, minus this blindfold". She let out a sigh, "But, I can't blame him. . .with war tensions and everything".

He felt a smile, "This whole war might make a few normal people happy". He then morphed his voice into a rough southern accent, "Listen here, troopers, we're goin' to eliminate those guys and bludgeoning them to death!"

He then let out a sigh, "I actually don't know if that was funny, strange, or frightening".

". . .maybe a mix of them?"

Suddenly, he felt a talon poke his shoulder, the were lowering. He followed the dragon who slightly tapped him, likely Glory, or even Lilac.

It took a minute, but, they had touched the ground and had stopped, has Audio heard metal either being swung or pulled.

"Soldiers!" a voice had said, in which a slight noise came from where ever they were.

"Commander Shark, well, I found the Lost Heir".

Audio heard footsteps not too far ahead of him, ". . .I see". A growl came from him, "Let's take her in, kill the rest".

. . .wait, what?

"No, no, no" he instantly heard Tsunami say, "no, not happening, no".

Though, he could still hear footsteps around them. . .they were quietly advancing.

"Your even going to kill two kids?" Tsunami said, which alot of footsteps stopped, with only two still remaining.

"Children?" Shark had said, following with a sigh.

"Oh, yes, children!" he heard Lilac let out a faint squeak as she was probably picked up by Tsunami. He heard footsteps ahead of him, they were either moving Cobalt, or he was attempting to walk himself.

Both sounds of footsteps stopped, and a younger male's voice spoke, "What is that thing?" it was likely directed towards Lilac.

Almost instantly, another squeak was made as a thud came from where the soldier was.

". . .Glory, can you take my blindfold off please? Maybe Sunny's too?" he had whispered infront of him, in case someone was there.

Almost as he said this. He felt claws on the back of his head, and the blindfold slid off, he turned, "Thanks, Glory". The RainWing had nodded.

Audio had reached over to Sunny's head, while Tsunami basically yelled, "She is not a thing! She's just a really special dragonet, and none of you are touching her. . .or any of them!"

He actually was able to see Shark, he was. . .intimidating. Cobalt was actually in Riptide's possesion, him resting on the older SeaWing's back He also saw a soldier on the ground, looking dazed. Oh. Yeah, Tsunami knocks the dude out.

". . .and then here we have Cobalt, he was lost, I guess, Audio back here and Sunny found him" she pointed back, "He was terribly ill, still kinda is."

". . .so your saying the SandWing and whatever he is-" then Lilac chirped, "MimicWing!". Although it was an interruption, Shark actually laughed a bit, he laughed, of all things! ". . .SandWing and MimicWing, found the missing dragonet?"

"Wait, he was missing?"

". . .indeed, ran away from home, we're investigating why he ran."

Another sigh came from him, "Pull your weapons back". In an instant, the soldiers withdrawed, very few hesitating before doing it themselves.

"Alrighty, Riptide. Great job, now, you eight, follow me".

"Where to?" Tsunami asked, "A cell?"

"As of now, no, right now, you're heading to the Palace".

If there is alot more spelling errors then prior chapters, I just got a new phone and typing can be the least bit more difficult.
