Glory put a claw to her face, a stressed brown color shifting through her scales. This wasn't going to be fun.
She sighed, "Maybe they'll be spotted and taken here a bit later. . .it's only been around half a day, and all of us are here."
Tsunami looked to the wooden floor, a nervous expression coming across her face, "Let's hope."
A dragon's throat was cleared to Glory's side, she turned to see a mainly orange and white RainWing, who wore a nice looking monocle, standing patiently.
". . .yes?"
"Sorry, I didn't speak up- just didn't want to interupt," the male dragon sounded younger, maybe five or six years of age, "I'm one of the helpers with the patients. I have the unfortunate news that your friend, Audio, is going to have to go through an amputation for a good survival chance."
God. Dammit.
Sunny let out a sniff, another wheeze coming from her, "What's going to be r-removed?"
A long silence came from the doctor, a minute that seemed like hours, ". . .um. . .half of his right leg."
"EXCUSE ME?" Glory's volume shot up as her head launched forward, "my friends and I thought that only the foot should've gone- what's happened now?"
"M-ma'am, please," the dragon stepped back, "he's lost so much blood. . .the leg's bone is unrepairable- if anything- parts of his leg are already missing!" The orange helper glanced back at a hallway which led to multiple rooms, "it'll be better then having to drag around a dead leg. And if we were to let him keep his leg, he would probably still die of a disease he would get from keeping a dead leg. . .it's for the best."
The aquamarine RainWing hissed as she glanced back, though, she noticed something. Sunny had tears, no, not few and small, but plentiful and full of grief. Tsunami had patted the SandWing's back once, a sigh escaping her. She looked up to Glory, "You heard him. . ."
She slightly nodded as she turned back to the RainWing, "Do what you must, sir."
"Understood, ma'am-" he was about to walk out to the hallway, he quickly turned, "my name is Duck, by the way, just call me if you want quick updates or just need information in general!"
The orange dragon shuffled off, going to a side room and quickly closing the door. Almost instantly, the door across opened quite rapidly, a SeaWing exiting with a faint laugh as a RainWing poked it's head out, laughing alongside him.
The RainWing closed the door slowly as Ontario approached the group, ". . .what the fuck is up with you guys?" he said, noticing Sunny's oblivious sadness and Tsunami and Glory's look of anger and confusion.
". . .Audio is going to lose a leg- and you watch your language, Ontario." Glory hissed, in which Tsunami looked at her, "what did he say?"
"Fuck," Ontario repeated, a dumb grin on his face.
"Quiet!" The RainWing hissed once again. This guy was a real asshole, shouldn't have let him come with us. . .yet the prophecy. . .
"Fine. . .fine," he sighed as he put both of his claws to the air like he was surrendering to Glory. He sat down against the wall, a sigh escaping him as he glanced at both Lilac and Cobalt, who had been extremely quiet.
". . .you two enjoy stories?" she heard the SeaWing say as he leaned back some more against the wall.
Lilac glanced at Cobalt, a tilt of the head came from her as he shrugged, "I-I guess. . .".
The SeaWing glanced around, "Here- I got a few."
". . .alright."
The two had slowly approached Ontario, and almost instantly, he started to ramble about whatever he was talking about, "a few years back, this one time I walked around these forests, and plenty of damn bugs crawled. . .".
For only being a ex-scavenger. . .he's pretty good at lieing.
Glory glanced out a window of the building, seeing RainWings flying up to the, "We should find a place to stay."
". . .w-where?" Sunny asked with another sniff, wiping her eyes to rid any more potential tears, which failed.
"I have no idea. . ." she sighed, "maybe we can find some cave in the land around here."
Tsunami raised a finger, "Before we were put to sleep, we came across some cave that could probably fit all of us, if anything, it could possibly fit four families in there."
"Jesus, damn!" Ontario broke from his "storytelling" and straightened himself, "Well, I call dibs on the most comfortable spot."
"Actually, no-" Glory stood infront of the one she would refer to as Ass, "That goes to these two here," she pointed to Cobalt and Lilac.
". . .eh, fine," the SeaWing sighed, "they do need to be comfortable and warm."
"Better," Glory huffed.
Glory had called for Duck before they left, to notify they would be leaving for the night. It had been sunset when the group had left, and the sun had almost abandoned the sky once they arrived at the cave that Tsunami mentioned.
She was right, it was a huge cave. The RainWing was surprised no one already lived in it. Ontario was quick to find a spot in a deep corner, and he quickly fell asleep once he laid down.
Glory found this character of a dragon annoying, and rude. He didn't have cares for much, or atleast so far he didn't. She sighed as Sunny went to settle to sleep with Lilac, Cobalt silently following them.
The skinny dragonet had seemed to be alright so far, he definitely seemed nervous all the time, like he was expecting negative something to happen.
"I'm going to fetch some sleep. . .goodnight," Glory said to Tsunami and Starflight as she left the two to talk to eachother. She rested her head a fine, soft patch of moss and vines. Lilac and Cobalt had essentially gotten a whole bed of it, which the RainWing found as good for them.
She quickly slipped into a dark slumber, resting for the night, worrying not only for Audio, but for Clay and Web's whereabouts.
