Welcome back guys to this great story on our favorite wings of fire couple. Last chapter was pretty hot (2 puns there) and now our dragons have gotten even closer than ever. With there intimacy which there will be more, you mights see some extras in the future. Without futher to do lets get started.

It was another beautiful morning in Pyrrhia and sun shining down on the jade mountians. Inside one of the rooms in the teachers area are the two dragons who have gotten closer to the point of becoming one. The sun beams through the window and starts to creep on the skywings face to basically say its time to wake up. As the light started to go on her eyes, she winced not wanting to wake up. It was pointless though since she had accidentally burned the curtains during their little session last night.

Peril started to open her eyes she looked around the room and started to yawn. She could still feel the feelings of last night roaming through her body, it was the best day she ever had. She then looked down to see her mate still asleep with his wing over her. Watching him sleep was almost therapeutic for her, observing his every breath, the way the sun exposes his true colors of redish amber and gold to his mud-brown on his back. She could watch him all day. Some things were going through her mind however, she laid her head down on top of his neck and started to get lost in thought. What was bugging her was how to get everyone to get past their thoughts of her. 'I know I didn't give off a good impression from the start, and I honestly don't blame them. I am trying though because he cares for them and I want everyone to be happy.' She sighed. 'However it seems like the only way for them to be happy is with me gone. Except for Sunny and maybe Glory.' Looking up to the ceiling, she contiplated ideas of how to make up for everything.

'The one thats going to be tough is Tsunami, I could possibly get Starflight to change his mind but we should hit the toughest one first.' She made up her mind and decided to ask someone for advice. Worming her way out of Clay's wing she was about to walk out until something grabbed her arm. Looking back Clay was barely waking up rubbing his eyes. They were like gems of amber.

"Where are you going?" He asked yawning.

"I have something to do, don't worry I will be ok love." She assured him.

"Ok I have some worked to do, I will be in the hunting area teaching some students, see you later." He got up and stretched his wings. He then walked out of the room and Peril was now off to go get advice. If there was any dragon that was level headed but knew about Tsunami, it would be Glory.

She looked all around for her. In the classrooms to the common areas. Peril didn't know where else to look, she started to doubt if she was even here and if she went back to her Kingdom. Then an idea came to her, she figured that her bodyguard Deathbringer was watching her so she could find where Glory is.

"You know I heard there was a scavenger roaming around here, I hope it doesn't hurt anyone since this is the last place it was seen." She said smirking.

A few seconds later she heard someone yelling behind her running to her direction.

"WHERE! WHERE! WHERE IS THE LITTLE SAVAGE! DONT LET IT NEAR ME!" He yelled, terrified. He then looked around and noticed Peril staring at him smirking. "YOU LIED!" He roared.

"Yeah well I needed to ask you to do something for me." She said

"You could have just asked me, but now I don't think I want to after your little stunt." He said puffing his cheeks.

Peril rolled her eyes. "I just want to talk to Glory, thats all."

"Oh is that all. Hey Glory, she wants to talk to you." He turned around.

"You do know you are the most pathetic Assassin right, you got to get over it someday." Glory said with an annoyed face.

"Its not something you can force immediately." He pouted.

"Whatever."

Peril then could see the Queen of the Rainwings. The more she thought about it the more she could see that Glory was stunning with different colors floating all around her body.

"So you wanted to speak to me?"

"Yeah I actually need some advice."

"What advice do you need?" Glory asked.

"I just want to know how can I make things right with Tsunami? I don't want to be the cause of separation between anyone so I was wondering if you had any ideas since you grew up with her." Peril looked up sighing.

"Why didn't you just ask Clay? You know he would have helped right?" Glory said, confused.

"I didn't want him to worry. Plus I figured maybe this could show you how much I care and how much I want us to get along." Peril said. Glory looked at Deathbringer then back to her.

"Honestly there is only one way and its usually if you save someone she cares about a lot. However you already kinda did that with Clay." Glory exclaimed. "If I were to guess it really just comes down to time. If you give her time, she may open up."

"Oh, ok I guess that..." Peril then had a chill go down her spine. She turned around and starting looking all over.

"Deathbringer do you notice it too?" Glory asked.

"Yeah it feels off, like someone is watching us but I can't detect anyone." He said with his back spines raised.

Peril kept observing around the area trying to figure out where it was coming from. Then she noticed a small green light. She tried looking a little closer to see what it was, then a jolt of pain hit her shoulders. Almost dazed she looked around to figure out where it came from. She then noticed a smaller spear was lodged in her shoulder.

Peril looked at Glory and Deathbringer who looked terrified that she got hit. She felt dizzy and was starting to lose consciousness. Then a Nightwing appeared infront of them. He had scars on his arms and neck with another spear on his back.

"Can't believe that it actually worked. A weapon that can injure a dragon with firescales, fascinating." He said with a deep voice.

"WHO ARE YOU." Yelled Glory.

"You don't need to know that. Just know that I am your nightmare." Said the mysterious dragon.

"Deathbringer, find Clay."

Without a second later Deathbringer was gone. Peril was not in a good state, she could barely move her legs and it was getting hard to breath. 'What is this feeling, is this pain?' She thought to herself.

"Peril are you ok?" Glory asked. The Nightwing started walking towards her and got his second spear. Glory then shot her venom at him to which he dodged quit quickly. She then jumped in front of Peril and flared her wings. Peril then collapsed and was about to black out trying to fight off the dizziness. She was breathing heavy and losing a lot of blood. 'Clay, I'm sorry.' A few seconds later she heard a familiar voice.

Clays POV

Walking around the school he was filled with joy. He couldn't stop thinking about her, the way she looked, the way she smiled, her blue eyes and her warm body. Overfilled with joy, Clay couldn't wait to see her again.

"I wonder what she is doing right now. Should I wait for her in the room?" He asked himself. He then started walking to his room then all of a sudden he heard someone running to his direction. He then noticed it was Deathbringer with a horrible look on his face. "Whats wrong?" He asked, worried. Clay knew something was off because of the look on his face.

"Its Peril, she is being attacked. I don't know how but she got injured, she doesn't look good." He told Clay.

After hearing this Clay felt pale and cold. 'Peril is injured?' He thought to himself. "How, I don't understand it should be impossible." Clay didn't believe it. "I know I don't understand either but we need to leave now!" Without any warning he bolted and ran to her as fast as he could, thoughts swarming his head. It was eating him up, there was a pain in his heart like he was thinking the worst but all he could think about was getting there. Then he arrived and saw Glory fighting off a mysterious Nightwing. He saw Peril who looked unconscious and was bleeding a lot.

"PERIL!"He ran towards her, lifting her up in his arms. "Peril what happened, how did this happen?"

Peril had a faint pulse but she was in the danger zone. She then looked at him, weak in her eyes. "Clay...is that...you?" She said faintly.

"Yes its me, its me Peril! I'm here, I'm right here!" He said tears in his eyes. Glory was still fighting the Nightwing and he started laughing.

"Is there something you want to tell us?" Glory yelled.

"The fact that you believe she will make it. I have done so much to get these animus spears that are designed for killing firescales and I have finally done it. You should be thanking me for taking this abomination out of this world."He chuckled.

Clay looked at him in pure rage. His body was starting to get hot and he couldn't control his emotions. Heart is racing and thoughts everywhere, he needed to do something but didn't know what.

"Clay." Peril said.

"What is it my love?" He was now crying.

"I just...wanted you to know...that I am glad...to be with you." She reached to touch his face and smiled. "You were the best thing that I ever had in my life." She then went limp. Clay stared at her, shocked, memories rushing his mind and tears running all down his face. He started to hyperventilate and breath hard. Then his mind then went blank and his pupils turned to slits like a vipers.

"Hahaha, look at this scene its pathetic. You do realize if you think about it that she is only just a hybrid. A product of animus magic that a Rainwing possessed to turn into whatever dragon he wanted. She was a mistake that should have never been created." He mocked.

"Noooo you bastard!" Glory yelled.

"Like I said there was nothing you could do. Now my job is complete I shall..." something slammed him to the ground. Surprised he looked to see the Mudwing starring at him with smoke coming out of his mouth. His body started to tense. "Oh your sad cause your little fire bitch friend is dead? Well thats sucks." Glory looked over to Clay and saw he lost all reasoning in his eyes. She was terrified, he wasn't the same dragon she grew up with. Clay rushed the dragon again and rammed him into the wall. The Nightwing coughed up blood and looked shocked seeing that a Mudwing could move that fast. He then shot a blast of flames at Clay that scorched the ground and caused a huge amount of smoke. He starred into the smoke until it cleared and he saw him still there unfazed. Clay then rushed him again and spun to smack his head with his tail whiched caused him to be thrown back and hit against the wall. The Nightwing was dazed, nothing was fazing him. Clay grabbed his neck and slammed him on the ground and blasted fire on his face. The Nightwing screamed in agony. The Mudwing then bit down on his neck and threw him to the other side causing him to bust through the wall into another room. Younger dragons jolted out of the way as the walls broke down. The Nightwing now weak could barely move, blood running down his body and a few broken ribs. Clay's mouth was dripping with the enemies blood. He slowly walked over to him, fear now in the attackers eyes he tried desperately to escape until Clay broke his leg to which he screamed. Clay roared so loud it rattled the walls.

"What is going on here?" Tsunami entered the area where everyone was surrounding and saw Clay walking over to the unknown dragon.

"Clay stop, what are you doing?" She yelled.

Glory then stopped her from going to him "Tsunami don't, He is not in his senses. He will hurt you if you get any closer."

"Why what happened?"

"This dragon, he attacked Peril. She doesn't look good."

"What are you talking about, he attacked Peril? Wouldn't he be dead?" Tsunami said in disbelief.

"See for yourself."

Tsunami then looked through the broken wall, and what she saw she couldn't believe.

Clay roared in pain and bit the Nightwings wings and snapped them. The dragon roared as pain was being inflicted on him and he wasn't able to fight back. Clay then slashed his stomach, blood now covering his claws.

"Stop-p-p...I am begging you." He was now pleading for mercy.

"Clay wait." Glory called out.

He turned to face her, rage in his eyes. It was like he was unrecognizable. "Look around you. There are students here, don't do anything to traumatize them." She asked. He starred at her for a while, smoke seeping through his teeth and nostrils. After a few moments he then bit down on the Nightwings neck and snapped it. Everyone gasped in horror. Tsunami couldn't believe what she witnessed. Clay then started to come to his senses, looking around and seeing everyones face full of fear. He didn't know what happened, all he remembered was Peril attacked. He looked around and eventually saw her lying on the ground. He slowly walked over to Peril and layed down beside her nudging her cheek. Tears started to form on his face again. He put his wing over her to scoot her closer to him. He pulled out the spear that was in her shoulder to where she winced. Seeing this he started to nudge her more "Peril. Are you there, its me Clay." She didn't give a response. He started to shake a little but to no prevail. Emotions were starting to explode like a volcano and he roared in pain and a broken heart. Deathbringer went over to him to try and observe the area where she was hit.

"She is going to be fine, where the spear hit her missed any organs. She has lost a good amount of blood." He told Clay. He then heated up some mud and pushed into into the wound to clog any more bleeding.

"Why is she not responding then?" Clay asked.

"Probably from the shock and the loss of blood. Remember she hasn't ever been injured like this, so she probably passed out from the surprise." Deathbringer then looked at the body of the attacker, spat in discuss.

Clay then picked up his mate and carried her to his room to where he could watch her until she woke up. Entering his room, he layed her down on the slate. Laying down beside her, he curled her up into him feeling her breath not wanting to leave her sight. Putting a wing over her he then started to sing.

Full disclosure before we move on he is going to sing 'So far away' by Avenged Sevenfold. I would listen to it to get a better feel for the moment, I do not own the song, credit goes to the artist and the band. I just think this would be a good song for how Clay is feeling right now.

Never feared for anything

Never shamed but never free

A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could

Lived a life so endlessly

Saw beyond what others see

I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

Will you stay?

Will you stay away forever?

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned

Place and time always on my mind

I have so much to say but you're so far away

Plans of what our futures hold

Foolish lies of growing old

It seems we're so invincible

The truth is so cold

A final song, a last request

A perfect chapter laid to rest

Now and then I try to find

A place in my mind

Where you can stay

You can stay away forever

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned

Place and time always on my mind

I have so much to say but you're so far away

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid)

The ones that we love are here with me

Lay away a place for me (place for me)

'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way

To live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned

Place and time always on my mind

And the light you left remains

But it's so hard to stay

When I have so much to say and you're so far away

I love you, you were ready

The pain is strong and urges rise

But I'll see you, when He lets me

Your pain is gone, your hands untied

So far away (so far)

And I need you to know

So far away (so far)

And I need you to, need you to know

After sing a wave of exhaustion hit him and he layed down his head. Holding her in his arms he started to fall asleep, waiting for her to wake up. 'Peril please wake up. I don't know what I will do without you.' He begged and after a few moments later he fell asleep with her on his mind.

All right guys this wraps up this chapter. Now I know this isn't what you expected but trust me it will get better. Clay now has a dark side that has awakened and others are starting to notice. As you read Peril is still alive, I wouldn't kill her off like that but stay tuned for when chapter 5 comes and I will see ya on the next one.
