"This is quite strange. . .five opposing dragons, two foreign, just popping up in the rainforest?"
". . .wait, excuse me?"
As Glory's friends, Audio and Sunny, and the new SeaWing Ontario were lifted into the sky with individual nets, a lavender RainWing had came to the one known as Jambu.
The two talked to eachother for a quick minute before mentioning the seven dragons.
"Yeah, two of my friends and I took down a NightWing and SeaWing, while a SeaWing dragonet and a little Gryphon seemed terrified. We guided them here and now they're where they're supposed to be."
A Gryphon, yep, that's Lilac, Glory thought, though, she seems to know the term quite well. . .maybe Lilac told her what she is. Who's the SeaWing dragonet though?
"Those four were with us," the aquamarine dragon said, "we got seperated."
"Oh, how'd that happen?" The lavender RainWing asked, "I'm Blair, by the way."
". . .well, Blair, the SeaWing palace had been attacked by a bunch of MudWings and SkyWings. . .that's why Audio's, the grey one, leg looks like it's been ripped apart by a shark."
Blair tilted her head to the ground, a thought seeming to join and exit her mind quite quickly. She had looked back up to Glory, "Want me to take you alongside your friends?"
"No," the RainWing responded, "take me to Lilac."
The lavender dragon tilted her head at this, in which Glory sighed as she put a claw to her head, "The Gryphon."
"Oh- yeah, keep on forgetting her name."
Glory had been escorted through the large tree village, in which the RainWing was severely impressed. Her homeland was just so vibrant in color, it was so bright and seemed so joyful! Warm tints of yellow and pink fluttered through her scales as she admired her home.
She was guided to a large, circular wooden platform, which not only had a hut in the middle, but a large, open container of water under some sunlight behind the medium hut.
"The two should be in there, along side a bunch of RainWing dragonets."
"Are they annoying?" Glory asked, incase she had to prepare for little brats.
"Eh- only one of them, well, sometimes."
"Splendid," Glory said simply as she approached the hut, she could hear a bit of noise coming from the branch hut. A sudden silence came upon the circular structure as seven dragonets turned their heads. A loud, excited squeal came from a certain feathered dragonet in the back of hut, "Glory!"
Lilac had quickly ran over to the dragon, and embraced her. The aquamarine couldn't help but laugh a bit, "I missed you too, Lilac."
Then, she noticed a blue dragonet approaching, with a common glow marks of a SeaWing. She squinted her eyes a bit, ". . .Cobalt? What are you doing here?"
The Cobalt dragonet looked nervous, and he simply looked away from Glory, though, Lilac seemed to he glad to speak for him. "Blister came by and dropped him off- I guess she was finding places for them to go away from the bad guys!"
". . .yeah, bad guys." She slowly stepped closer to the SeaWing, and leaned her head down towards him. The RainWing dragonets looked in some sort of awe. Glory sighed as she softly patted his back once, "You look embarrassed. . .want to go outside?"
The SeaWing still looked away, but, he nodded. Glory slightly nodded as she stepped out of the hut, with Cobalt and Lilac bouncing out with her. The Gryphon had said "'bye" to some Violet and Stinger, who ever that is.
A long breath came from the SeaWing dragonet as he looked out into the tree village, looking at RainWings flying by. The aquamarine dragon glanced at him, a sudden question coming to mind, ". . .do you know why you ran away from your home?"
A simple nod came from the SeaWing as he continued to stare out into the village. He mouthed a single word, in which not only could Glory understand it, but it sent chills down her spine. Parents, was what he said.
". . .they didn't treat you right, did they?"
He shrugged, and froze for a few seconds, until he slowly started to shake his head.
Lilac was by his side at this time, and naturally, a feathery wing came upon her friend's back as he glanced at her with soft yet warm smile. Glory shook her head at the thought of dragons treating their own children with disrespect, "Sorry I asked. . .that's awful, I didn't know-"
He had poked her shoulder, signaling her to stop talking. He nodded at her, some sort of forgiveness flowed off of him. Glory sighed as she now looked back out to the flying RainWings.
"I need to check and see if everyone is alright. . .you guys should come with."
"Please! Let's go!" Lilac said, both worry and excitement in her voice. Glory took to the sky as Cobalt wobbly followed along side his Gryphon friend.
Glory had found a building which she knew would be where her friends remained. A large sign on the rather huge straw and branch structure clear stated, Recovery.
She stepped in, and among a few RainWings that looked barely injured with either a bruise or two, it was quite oblivious her friends were there.
She could see Tsunami and Starflight sitting not far from a vibrantly colored curtain. Sunny sat between them, looking drowsy, and slightly ill as she wheezed some.
Lilac had bounded over quite quickly, running up to Sunny. The NightWing put a claw in front of her, making her slow down and stop, "Stay back a bit, she doesn't feel all too well."
The SandWing softly laughed, a few more wheezes coming from her. She looked up to the approaching Glory, and then Cobalt who walked quietly behind the RainWing.
"Hey Cobalt-" she wheezed and sniffed, "-how have you been doing?"
He shrugged in response as he went up to Lilac, who was already luring discussion from Starflight, who seemed to be talking something about the darts they used to put them to sleep.
"Sunny, are you feeling alright?'
"Yep. . .a doctor here said-" she sneezed and sniffed, "-this is likely from the dart they-" she now wheezed quiet audibly, Glory could hear the illness in the cough itself, "-used against me."
"Oh. . .well, I hope you get better. . .where's Audio and Ontario? Clay and Webs?"
Tsunami now took a turn to talk, "The SeaWing is still sleeping, while Audio. . .doctors are figuring out how to help him- they came out and said they may have to amputate his foot in order to make things easier on them and Audio."
"You're kidding."
"Unfortunately, no." Tsunami sighed as she looked to the ground, "And for Clay and Webs. . .
. . .we don't know where they are."
