Son of a swordfish. This was not good.
The Seawing slanted his wings back, urging himself to go faster, as he dove towards the falling Nightwing. Or Icewing. Hard to tell in the storm, with the fog shrouding everything.
Reaching out his talons in preparation, he glanced over to see a bulky brown Mudwing screaming something unintelligible, accompanied by a bright green RainWing and a somewhat bored looking Icewing.
Moons, those must be her friends he thought. Well, best to not have three dragons mad at him. Which they would be if this Nightwing/Icewing fell to her doom.
Lucky for them, Tidepool was on the case.
"Never fear, Tidepool is here!" He sang out, snatching up the dragon mere moments before she hit the ground.
He set her down gently on the ground, and waited for her friends to come singing his praises.
The Mudwing was the first to land, followed by the Rainwing and Icewing.
A motley crew, but who was he to judge?
Squinting at the dragons approaching him, he thought he recognized the big brown Mudwing.
But he certainly didn't recogniz the fuming Rainwing stomping towards him.
Xxx
"Grrrrrr" Blossom flounced up to the mysterious Seawing, in a truly terrifying manner (terrifying, that is, in the way that a baby sloth with a knife is terrifying).
"She better be ok mister, or you've just landed yourself in a whole big heap of trouble!" She flared her wings angrily, her scales a bright red.
Borealis snorted faintly in the background.
The Rainwing turned her glare on him.
"What's so funny? She's my friend!" She huffed.
"Friend?" Borealis snorted again, more audibly, "Yesterday you couldn't stand her."
"Well yes, but that was yesterday. When she was spying on us. Today, she's my friend." Indignant orange drifted in around her ears, and she stuck out her tongue at the Icewing.
Before Borealis could respond to her obvious and insultingly insulting insult, Totem plowed through the two of them, rushing to Stardust's side.
"Stardust?" The Mudwing whispered, leaning over said dragon.
The silvery Nightwing started awake with a small wheezing noise.
"Stardust!" Totem joyfully repeated himself, scooping up the dragon in a big bear hug.
"Aaaaaaaaww!" Blossom started towards them, wings raised to join the group hug, before something grabbed her neck and yanked her back.
"Borealis, I was just going to-" she began, before the IceWing cut her off with a pointed glance.
"Blossom, now isn't the time." He said, gesturing with his head towards the still embracing dragons.
The Seawing stood awkwardly on the side.
"What do you mean?" The Rainwing asked, befuddled as to why there was a wrong time to go join a group hug.
"Blossom, they're having a moment." Borealis hissed, narrowing his eyes. Blossoms own widened in understanding.
"Oooooooh…" she nodded her head slowly, "you mean like the one we had in the rainforest?"
Borealis's face turned bright red, an amazing feat since he was an Icewing and not a Rainwing. Blossom clamped her talons over her mouth, turning a flushed pink with embarrassment.
"Erm.." the Icewing stuttered, looking very flustered.
The Seawing awkwardly stood on the side.
Finally, after what seemed like years of awkward silence, but was probably only a few seconds, Totem released Stardust from his tight hug and stepped back.
Blossom slowly backed away from the extremely crimson Icewing and joined the Nightwing, Mudwing, and Seawing.
"Soooooo...," she whipped around to face the aforementioned dragons.
More awkward silence ensued.
"Who are you?" Stardust pointed a talon at the Seawing in blatant accusation.
"Yeah! Who are you?" Blossom added unnecessarily, scales still pink.
Totem sighed.
