So… part 5 is out now. Hope you enjoy this one.

Seaweed- well I think I see help!

Abyss’s father: where?

Abyss’s mother: I think she means the dragon over there.

Blizzard: is that… yep, it’s her.

Coelacanth: who?

Cascade: a dragon we told to stay behind incase Abyss flew back and we missed him.

Mudslide: hm…

Stormbringer: she’s a little shy around other dragons she’s meeting for the first time, don’t take it personal if she doesn’t answer to you.

Seaweed- seems fine

*the dragon lands away from the mudwings and Abyss’s parents, closer to Blizzard and Stormbringer*

???: *low voice because she is actually a little shy from not being around other dragons, she wants to leave a good impression* did you guys find him yet? What happened to Inferna?

Stormbringer: .. long story, I think we’re close.

Blizzard: Inferna was hit into a rock by waves when this island rose up out of nowhere.

Mudslide: hm?

???: … *she realizes what she just got herself into, and the rising of the island meant there was an active animus working against the team, but she wants to save Abyss*

Seaweed- it's a very interesting island...well I'ma go look inside the castle! *Begins running to it*

Coelacanth: wait up.

*Mirage runs to follow you, so does Cascade, Ivy catches the new dragon up on what happened, she remains expressionless… or maybe she was hiding whatever fear she had.*
————
*at this point, Inferna wakes up, very disoriented too*

*her vision becomes clear, she finds Mudslide standing over her*

Inferna: *low enough that no one besides Mudslide could hear* heh.. what happened this time?

Mudslide: you were pushed into a rock by a wave.

Inferna: I remember that… where are we?

Mudslide: some weird island that just rose up from under the sea.

Inferna: *even lower voice than what she was already talking, only Mudslide can hear her now for sure* funny, I thought it was heaven just by seeing you, you big, blue angel.

Mudslide: *she allowed her self a small laugh and smile* come on you silly skywing. *she helps Inferna up*
——————
*no one heard what Inferna said besides Mudslide*

*the fog obscures the castle a little bit*

Inferna: ..

*Stormbringer sees Inferna is up*

Stormbringer: are you alright?

Inferna: well, better now. Is that a castle or fortress?

Cascade: something like that. We better catch up to Mirage and Seaweed.

Seaweed- *walks inside* oh wow

Mirage: I’d never thought there would be a seawing palace like this… much more gloomy than I thought. We should wait for the rest of them, maybe outside so we don’t get trapped in here. Mostly because if this sinks, I’ll definitely die.

*the dragon Barracuda appeared in front of the two of you, but his voice sounded different, nothing like how Barracuda sounded before*

Barracuda?: I’m cruel, but I’m not that cruel.

Mirage: huh?

Barracuda?: what? Just because I may want to be king, doesn’t mean I want to kill everyone,

Mirage: .. that doesn’t make this sound much better for you.

Barracuda?: *realizing their voice changed, it’s quickly fixed* my point is I don’t like killing people, sometimes you just have to act like you are a cruel ruler so no one falls out of line or tries anything.

Mirage: or maybe try leading your dragons with respect.

Barracuda?: I was thinking about what you all said.. about how magic forcing peace was bad. And I think you guys made some good points. It is a bit unpredictable on how to word a spell for such an enchantment.

Mirage: so you aren’t doing that?

Barracuda?: I’ve settled for something much better. *the image of Barracuda disappears*

Mirage: … whatever he settled on, I don’t like it. This might be worse than what he was originally planning. The change in voice was weird too… hm. Maybe they’re pretending to be this “Barracuda” dragon who may or may not exist to hide who they really are.

Seaweed- that is a good idea to think about...

*the rest of the dragons catch up*

Inferna: is this the place?

Stormbringer: *somewhat cringing* this place reminds me too much of that old Nightwing fortress…

Cascade: me too.

Inferna: if this place just rose up out of the water, how is it not wet? Why are there even torches and were they lit?

*you look back, Inferna was right, torches appeared when you were passing through an unlit area*

???: ….

Misty: you haven’t told us your name icewing.

Blizzard: me?

Misty: the other one.

*the dragon was pretending to not be listening by looking at the walls, she ran her claw on the left wall while walking forward. You could tell she wasn’t comfortable talking to them.*

Bedrock: leave them alone, they don’t appear to be hurting us.

Misty: someone has to check, they could be like this Barracuda seawing that keeps appearing all over the place.

Seaweed- I'm not trying to be rude...but misty has a point.

Mirage: I didn’t think about that, but I don’t think Barracuda would try to impersonate her.

???: .. *she speaks shyly, she’s very nervous, you can tell she wants nothing more than to hide from the rest of you right now, she’s not used to being near or in a group of dragons this large* my name is Stardust. I understand the concern, I don’t know what’s going on or who Barracuda and you all are.

*Misty looks at the other dragons confused, especially Blizzard since Stardust looked like an icewing right now*

Blizzard: what?

Misty: is she your sister or something? Her name doesn’t sound like an icewing name.

Blizzard: no, she isn’t.

*you take a moment to study the younger dragon, her scales may have looked the part, but her tail doesn’t. It’s not spiked, in fact, it looks like it’s bent at an angle to the end, Mudslide notices too*

Mudslide: what’s wrong with your tail?

Stardust: erm… *she stays quiet* I don’t want to talk about it.

Seaweed- you're not an icewing are you?

Stardust: not really.

Misty: what tribe are you from then?

Stardust: … I don’t want to talk about it here.

Misty: it’s a safety concern.

Stardust: that doesn’t make me want to talk more.

Ivy: alright, I think that’s enough for now.

Mirage: she is a bit shy around other dragons.

Ivy: we need to focus instead of wandering around here aimlessly. We don’t know when this thing will sink again.

Cascade: let’s hurry up and— *the hallway you were walking through led into a large you, you can see several cages at the opposite end*

Abyss’s mother: my goodness.

Abyss’s father: This is a forgotten prison.

*the mother and father ran towards the cages to look, but only found one dragon, and it was a corpse*

Abyss’s mother: we’re too late. *she begins to cry*

Abyss’s father: hold on. *he opens the door to the cage and brings it out into the light, it’s not Abyss.* It’s not him, we still have time. Probably just something to scare us or make us give up.

Abyss’s mother: .. *she let’s Abyss’s father comfort her for a moment before you realize the room extends, there are more cells*

???: is someone there?

*everyone looks down the hall, the call came from one of the cells*

Seaweed- huh!? *Runs down the hallway*

*Seaweed would eventually find a cell with two young dragons in, everyone else is right behind you. One dragon looks like he had been beaten a little, the other was lying on the ground and starving. There were scars and cuts from head to tail on both dragons*

???: thank the moons, you’ve got to get us out of here.

Inferna: what’s happening, who is-

*they all recognized the dragon who was lying on the floor asleep, it was Abyss*

Abyss’s mother: what have you done to our son?!

???: nothing, it’s not me! He’s been like this since he got here a few weeks ago!

Mirage: I doubt he was injured this badly.

???: whenever he is awake, he disappears from the cell, to where I do not know. If you all are here, I’m assuming you’ve met my brother?

Ivy: Barracuda?

???: … of course he drags my name through the mud, of course he has to make me look like some evil tyrant who wants nothing more than to steal an animus’s power. I’ve watched him grow mad over the years and still took the abuse. I’ve never said a word.

Mudslide: wait, you’re Barracuda?

Barracuda: unfortunately. This dragon, Abyss, is he your friend?

Blizzard: yes.

*Stardust is looking down the hall, checking to see if someone is approaching them.*

Abyss’s father: we’re his parents. Your brother is disguising himself as you and is using you to mislead us?

Barracuda: it’s something he would do, I wouldn’t doubt it if what you saw was me.

Misty: I don’t trust you even for a second.

Barracuda: you don’t have to trust me, all I ask is for you to take him out and avenge the both of us. *A new cut appears on Abyss as you’re talking to Barracuda, who is standing away from him*

Mudslide: I agree with Misty. This could be another deception tactic.

Inferna: that’s what I’m thinking as well.

Barracuda: I’ll wait here once you see the truth. *he lies down, already weak from standing* I can withstand this torture knowing someone will help me and this dragon. He’s the only other dragon I’ve seen in a year besides my brother.

Seaweed- I believe him...I mean you sound similar to the other barracuda, but he had a voice change when he appeared in front of us...

Inferna: he did?

Mirage: it was just before you guys caught up.

Barracuda: he’ll probably not even tell you his real name. He’s shamelessly stolen my magic before Darkstalker showed up and now he’s trying to do it again. Not sure how he knew Abyss, or why he wouldn’t have gone for a confirmed animus for maximum damage, but I think his whole thing is remaining secret until the time is just right to throw the world back into chaos.

Seaweed- what's your brother's name?

Barracuda: he will remain nameless because that dragon is too far gone. I hate him that much for this torture. I have sat in this cell for over a year, and the only reason he keeps me alive is his wild fantasy that will somehow come to his side and aid him in this outlandish plan. I can’t escape because the walls and bars are enchanted. Unless you guys can kill my brother and retrieve the scroll he stole, then we’re out of luck.

Inferna: hey quick claws—

Blizzard: yeah, I heard him.

Stormbringer: are you sure you don’t want to tell us his name?

Barracuda: I don’t call him by name because that monster is less than a dragon. He would kill a million dragons just to obtain the power he wants. I’d wager he could be worse than Darkstalker if he successfully steals Abyss’s magic.

Seaweed- *growls* I would very much like to give him a peice of my mind!...but I don't want you all to get hurt...

Barracuda: …*gestures towards comatose Abyss, who looks like they’ve gained more scars over the course of this whole conversation, then gesturing towards himself, who has many scars across his body already, some in places where most dragons would die from bleeding out from* trust me, I’ve been through a lot. If you’re really that worried, just steal the scroll, and I’ll—

Stardust: weird dragon standing just down the hall.

???: there is no need for this.. distraction. Quiet ignorant brother.

*you all look down the hall, there was another dragon, there was a scar across their right eye, there didn’t appear to be other notable differences*

Barracuda: I’ll be quiet when you actually start making sense for once.

???: *the dragon snaps their talons and Barracuda becomes silent* now.. I know you are here to try to stop me and save your little animus. I’ll save my whole speech for when I am king of the world.

Abyss’s father: WHAT?!

???: did you really think I would just allow you in here so you all leave with you’re friends? This isn’t some fairy tale.

*Abyss woke up, his movements were sluggish, he looked at Barracuda who was pointing to his mouth, indicated he couldn’t speak. Abyss was too weak to move and collapsed as he tried to walk towards the front of the cell*

???: are you awake you pathetic sea slug?

*Abyss was too weak to answer*

Inferna: how about you pick on dragons your own size.

???: how about you stay out of matters you would never understand warmonger. I’m trying to fix everything wrong in this world, and you and your pathetic species are causing all of the problems. All of you. So I will make you all fall in line.

*he snaps his talons again and Barracuda is allowed to talk now*

Barracuda: what did I tell you, he’s insane.

???: you are the one who was insane. Our parents expected greatness from me, nothing from you.

Barracuda: that is a lie, our parents would want us to have normal lives. Not messing around with the balance of power an animus magic that doesn’t belong to you!

???: everything already belongs to me, it’s just a matter of when I want to make it so.

*Looks like Blizzard slipped away, when you saw her again, she was carrying an ornate scroll*

Blizzard: looking for this?

???: where did you get that?

Blizzard: oh, just walking around..

Barracuda: you can destroy any animus touched object he has, quick!

Seaweed- *growled and roared at ???* How about you fight me a little bit...and there's no such thing as a flawless world...the universe can't function without issues here and there!

(That part might be revised in other variations of this role play, I’ll probably keep it though)

*Blizzard is frantically writing in the scroll trying to undo every spell ever written in it.Unfortunately this comes with some problems due to them being on an island that was once underwater so she settles for releasing Abyss and Barracuda, Barracuda carries Abyss on his back to the group quickly and hands him to Coelacanth*

Stardust: yeah, the anomalies in the universe make it that much more interesting. It’s a shame about the wars but they’ll always exist. The universe might already be perfect with nothing for you to fix. Besides, playing with space and time to fix something is like playing with fire, you might make it worse.

*Mirage looks at Stardust like she just spoke a different language*

Stardust: what?

Mirage: that is the most you’ve spoken all day.

???: I’ll gladly fight you tiny seawing, do you wish to die that badly?

Inferna: if you are king of the world, then I challenge you for the throne in a traditional duel. No magic spells or animus touched items allowed.

???: … granted, I cannot refuse a challenge. *he reached over you and snatched the scroll from Blizzard, he wrote something in it, the island begins to shake, your part of the island rises higher, the roof opens up and the castle turns into an arena. There are platforms off to the edges so the spectators, the rest of you, can stand, he also disabled all of his other enchantments but one, so the island below sank into the ocean again, the scroll was passed back to Blizzard*

Mudslide: Inferna, this isn’t a—

Inferna: good idea? Yeah, I know, it’s what I thought of.

Stardust: what is.. is this to the death?

Inferna: unfortunately.

Stardust: let me take your place.

Inferna: no, you have your own problems to worry about, if I die, it’s no big deal.

Mudslide: what?! Of course it is! *it was odd seeing the mudwing hug the skywing* What will we do if you’re gone? *she looked like she was about to cry from the thought of losing Inferna*

*the other dragons were concerned as well*

Stormbringer: this is serious Inferna, we care about you, besides, you are one of the best dragons I’ve ever met. And thats saying a lot.

Blizzard: I was just about to say the exact same thing.

Cascade: we don’t want you die Inferna.

Inferna: heh, whatever happens, I’m sure it’ll be alright.

Abyss’s father: you should have let one of us challenge him.

Seaweed- inferna! You should have let me fight him...I was the one who originally challenged him.

Inferna: you didn’t challenge him for the throne, a challenge that cannot be refused if he thinks he is a ruler. Being honest, I don’t want you to die either. If I die you can challenge him after me. You heard him say he was just going to kill you without much of a fight. With no magic or animus touched items, it gives us a better chance.

???: let’s hurry up skywing, time to meet your fate!

Ivy: are you sure you don’t want me to challenge him in your place?

Inferna: that is against the rules, I’ve already challenged him. That and you have more of your life ahead of you than I do, you’re younger than everyone here besides Stardust.

Ivy: and she has fought worse, besides, *she moves so that no one can see what she’s showing Inferna. a stinger comes out from her arm* I have these. He won’t put up much of a fight.

Inferna: no.

*Ivy’s stinger pushes back into her wrist, Inferna looked a little grossed out, but she was still going to fight.

???: before you die, I think you’ll liked the name I picked for myself, Peacemaker.

Inferna: sounds horrible, let’s get this over with.

???: you’re stilling wearing rings.

Seaweed- heh peacemaker? Basic name.

Inferna: what a Nightwing-ish name for a childish sounding seawing that doesn’t deserve it. Now come on I don’t have all day.

“Peacemaker”: your rings, their animus touched, I can tell.

Inferna: alright, fine, *she shrugs* I’ll take them off. Hold these for me.

*she first takes off the melted ring she has and hands it to Mudslide, nothing happens, when she takes off her good ring, her scales flare to life with fire, you all are forced to stand back, Mudslide doesn’t though, she didn’t seem to care her talon was burnt when Inferna handed her the second ring. She was fascinated by Inferna’s firescales*

“Peacemaker”: … *now realizing what they were for* put them back on.

Inferna: no, I said no animus touched items remember? That counts the rings. *the rest of you take off* We’re now forced to duel. And since you suddenly declared yourself king of the world, I guess you decide whether or not it’s to the death.

…

Stormbringer: *whispering to Blizzard* he’s wishing he didn’t accept this right now. He wants to kill the rest of us to make her suffer.

Blizzard: *whispering back* his fault, not like I couldn’t kill him in two seconds either, but this is much more painful.

*Coelacanth flew towards the ocean to try to get food for Abyss so he wasn’t forced to watch.*

Inferna: you brought this upon yourself.

“Peacemaker”: I was not aware of what firescales meant exactly…

Inferna: what did you think they meant? It’s in the name. Next time you insult someone for having something, you should figure out what that something is before hand.

“Peacemaker”: to the death it is then…

Seaweed- this is going to get interesting

*you would think dragons would notice an arena about a mile into the sky supported by a small spire, but no one is coming to help.*

Inferna: what happened to all of the confidence I saw earlier?

…

*they begin by Inferna chasing the seawing around the arena. You could see another difference between him and Barracuda, he wasn’t just taller and older, his wings look like they were ripped a part, but somehow still intact. Despite this, he is able to fly considerably well. Even with her firescales advantage, she could receive no outside help, and “Peacemaker” was faster than most. The fight was simply a matter of Inferna catching up to him and then grabbing him.*

Inferna: this reminds me all too much of Peril’s fights in the skywing arena, a dragon I swore I would never act like. Yet here I am.

“Peacemaker”: I don’t even know who that is!
————
Stormbringer: wait a minute.. was that the dragon-

Mirage: who Queen Scarlet called her champion in the arena’s? Yeah. I’ve seen a couple of her fights, it’s not pretty. That dragon was clearly a psycho.

Blizzard: from the way you and Inferna make it sound, a psycho who was manipulated.

Mirage: I don’t suspect it as much as Inferna does. But maybe since Queen Scarlet was a psychopath and was in constant contact with her, she became like Queen Scarlet. Even looked up to her.

Blizzard: not like we would know what was said to her.

*Coelacanth returns with Abyss, who was eating something*

Coelacanth: did I miss anything?

Mudslide: a game of tag.

Coelacanth: *looking out over the arena* I never liked these kinds of fights that take place in arenas. Bloodshed for sport is needless and destructive.

Mudslide: I can’t believe this is the best thing that Inferna came up with, it’s stupid yet brilliant at the same time with her firescales.

*Inferna caught the tail of “Peacemaker” and grabbed hold of it so she could make him stop. Peacemaker slammed his tail against the wall to knock Inferna off it, and Inferna resumed chasing him. Abyss looked away.*

Seaweed- hmmm...this is very interesting...his wings are torn unlike yours barracuda.

Barracuda: he fought in the way, he’s also fought with me before. Not like I didn’t fight anyway. We entered the war in separate divisions.

Misty: interesting.

Barracuda: they transferred me to his division later.

*you noticed Stardust was watching the fight but hadn’t talked at all, even Ivy was talking to Bedrock. You also noticed she was wearing something on both arms, and it didn’t look like it was for jewelry or show*

*Inferna caught up with him again, she was able to get a burn on his neck and claw marks on his back. He tried fighting back but he was burned in the process, leaving his talons black, but Inferna now had a cut on her neck that was bleeding. Peacemaker got away again only to have their wing grabbed by Inferna. It was nearly burned off, but it wasn’t enough to hold on to. Inferna had to chase him around the arena again. He was clearly stalling and hoping maybe someone would show up and take his side*

Seaweed- hmm...hey stardust? Why do you have those things on your arms?

Stardust: nothing much. *they looked a little more than nothing much, there were buttons on it, it looked like it had a use. They looked like they were advanced, not like traditional armor or bracelets. Whatever they were it wasn’t important*

*Inferna finally lands a real hit, a deep cut on the underbelly. “Peacemaker” tripped and Inferna Grabs him back the neck, he’s too heavy for her to lift up. She prepares to cut his throat but then he suddenly disappears*

Inferna: what the.

Barracuda: NO! Not aga— *he disappears too, they appear to have been teleported, Abyss was not affected by the spell*

*Blizzard is reading the scroll*

Blizzard: he cheated.. he left an enchantment on himself that allowed him to transport him and his brother anywhere instantly.

Mirage: We have the scroll, so he shouldn’t be a problem anymore. We should try to find him.

*Mudslide hand’s Inferna’s rings back to her after she walked back*

Mudslide: you never told me you had firescales.

Inferna: well, it’s illegal to be a firescales, punishable by death. The only firescales dragon that gets to exist is Peril and that’s because they’re usually killed upon birth, Queen Scarlet had other plans for Peril though. And it was mostly stuff… *she looks back at the arena* like that. She almost had Peril kill the dragonets of destiny in the arena.

Mirage: you said she was manipulated.

Inferna: and I’m right, as far as I know, the only gratification she got was the queen’s praise. Every skywing hated and feared her because she was Queen Scarlet’s pet. Any uprising would have to happen with her out of the picture because she was very attached to her from what my father told me. That was before I deserted. *she put her rings back on, the firescales die down until there is no more smoke* The last I heard from Scarlet, Ruby took the throne from her when she went missing. I don’t even know if Scarlet was alive.

*Abyss’s parents were hugging Abyss, he tried to hug them, but it was a weak attempt*

Seaweed- well at least abyss is ok

Abyss’s mother: we’re so happy to have you back.

Abyss’s father: son, please tell me something, anything.

Abyss: *crying* I was wondering if anyone was coming to help.. I didn’t know if you were alive or not. I’ve missed you so much.

—
*an icewing and Nightwing were fighting in the plains outside of mudwing, rainwing, and skywing territory*

Seerstriker: YOU INSOLENT ICEWING. *she thrusts her spear towards the icewing*

Crystal: *she blocks the spear with her dagger* when will you nightwings learn?

*both have multiple stab wounds from claw marks and their respective weapons, Suddenly peacemaker arrived on the scene holding Barracuda, who wasn’t too happy*

“Peacemaker”: stop fighting you idiots!

*they both turned to look at him*

Seerstriker: what do you want?

“Peacemaker”: your loyalty to the king of the world.

*Barracuda signals to the other dragons that he’s completely insane, yet he is bound to him*

Crystal: king of the world?

Seerstriker: what?

*the enemies look at each other confused. They’ve stopped fighting*

“Peacemaker”; you heard me. I am now king of the world, and I command you to obey me.

Barracuda: don’t listen to him, he has gone insane.

Seerstriker: we can see that.

“Peacemaker”: I am not insane for I have gotten the title through magic.

Crystal: great.. a seawing Darkstalker, what the world needs right now.

Seerstriker: prove it in combat.

*Peacemaker laughs, leaving him momentarily off guard, then Seerstriker throws her spear at him*

“Peacemaker”: hah, like I should prove myself against lowly— AH *the spear pierced his brain through his eye, he falls to the ground dead*

Crystal: … great throw.

Seerstriker: ... wasn’t expecting a compliment from you.

Crystal: why wouldn’t I?

Seerstriker: because I’m a Nightwing, we’re supposed to be—

Crystal: yeah I know.

Barracuda: well you may not know it, you’ve just spared me a very long revenge journey to get a magic scroll back. Thanks.
—

Inferna: Thank the sky spirits this was a good day.

Abyss’s father: I think our son needs to rest for a while before going on another adventure.

Stormbringer: Abyss, you should stay with your parents, we’ll track down Barracuda and the other weird dragon.

Seaweed- yeah another adventure! *Sarcasm*

*Mudslide hugs Inferna again*

Mudslide: please don’t do anything like this again.

Inferna: challenge a “person of authority” to a fight? I would never. Seriously, I won’t. I’ve seen enough fighting in my life.

Misty: haven’t we all?

Bedrock: .. Stardust, is that your name? I’ve just noticed you have these weird wrist cuffs and—

Stardust: they aren’t for anything. *she looks a little panicked and scared*

Bedrock: .. alright then.

Blizzard: ..? Stardust what’s wrong?

Stardust: …

Blizzard: .. come with me for a second. *the two walk to the other side of the platform to talk*

Cascade: Abyss, I hope you get some rest while you’re with your family.

Seaweed- yeah...abyss you need rest and I hope to get to know you more in the future!

*Abyss and his parents thank you and his parents offer to escort you back to the mainland, Inferna refuses, insisting that Abyss needs as much rest as possible, his parents and Abyss leave the rest of you standing on the platform*

Cascade: wasn’t the nicest way to see the seawing kingdom, but it looks beautiful.

Coelacanth: we try to visit from time to time.

Bedrock: is nice when you know some of the dragons.

Seaweed- yeah...it's nice to finally visit the kingdom of the sea. *Takes a deep breath*

Mudslide: it’s time to go home.

*Blizzard writes one last thing in the scroll*

Blizzard: we might want to start flying in a few seconds. Just nullified the last two spells and told the scroll to reset itself.

Mirage: does that mean..

*the arena starts shaking and begins to sink into the water while growing back into the castle*

Inferna: let’s go!

*you all make it off of the arena in time to see the roof close just below you, with everyone out, you all decide to fly as close to the mainland as you can before stopping for the night*

Seaweed- now that...was interesting! And I'm... exhausted...

Bedrock: you can say that again.

Mirage: I think we all are.

*Stardust was still wide awake, thought she wasn’t on the hunt for long*

Mudslide: so how far are we going?

Inferna: first island we see maybe.

Misty: it’s getting dark right now, would be nice to stop.

Coelacanth: at the next island. I don’t see anything yet.

Seaweed- yeah I don't sea any islands yet...*Snickers*

Stardust: *to herself in a lower voice* island in 10 kilometers… slightly south of our location..

Mirage: *Mirage was the only one who caught it* speak dragon please.

Stardust: I think there is an island up ahead.

Phantom- huh...ok then!

(Wrong OC or did they just join?)

(well sh!t, I meant seaweed sorry)

(lol it’s fine XD)

*you fly on, sure enough, Stardust was right, just as the sun was dipping below the horizon, it was the same one Inferna flew off to earlier*

Blizzard: island on our left.

Inferna: let’s land there for the night.

*you all land on top of the island*

Inferna: I think there is a cave here.

Mudslide: there is but it doesn’t fit that many dragons.

Seaweed- I can sleep outside! I'm a seawing...I will look normal if I'm sleeping on the beach.

Misty: we’re used to that too, we’re half mudwing, half seawing you know.

Inferna: Cascade and Mirage, you should take Stardust with you whoever you guys want to go.

Mudslide: wait, are you joining us? *she looked a little surprised*

Inferna: yeah.

Mudslide: I knew you would. *she looked happy now*

Cascade: we’ll go with you as well.

Mirage: actually, I don’t think that’s a good idea. What if we get spotted by the army or someone alerts them to us?

Blizzard: I don’t see why any of that would happen now. Sure, a dragon might get concerned but nothing bad will—

*Stormbringer whisper’s something in her ear*

Blizzard: … maybe we could find somewhere a little further down the beach then.

*Stardust looks confused, then suddenly understands what she’s saying*

Stardust: good idea.

Seaweed- uh ok

*you all head down to the beach, and find that it’s pretty small anyways, you would all need to find different beaches, given the mudwing’s sizes, they nearly took up one small beach themselves, Inferna joined them next to Mudslide on the outside*

Inferna: I guess you’ll need to find your own beach guys.

Cascade: we’ll find one eventually.

Misty: I could look for one with you, see if I find anything.

Blizzard: I think there is one on the southern side. That cliff faces the eastern side, so maybe there is something we can use there as well.

*you were all on the northern side*

Mirage: I saw one coming in, we’ll go there.

Seaweed- ooo ok!

*the rest of you do find another beach it was close to theirs, in fact, it was only separated by rocks extending out into the bay, and trees on either side, the tides shouldn’t be a problem for any dragon closer to the grass*

Mirage: glad I learned how to swim.

Cascade: I’ll stay on the grass..

*Stormbringer looks at Blizzard and both walk together towards the end of the beach then they sat and looked at the stars.*

*it’s just you, Stardust, and Ivy together now*

Ivy: Blizzard, can I see the scroll for a second?

*she tosses it over and Ivy begins writing something down, you all can see*

Written: [Check this gold ring for enchantments and list them here.]

Output: [immune to enchantment]

Ivy: huh?

Stardust: that doesn’t make sense.

Ivy: I regret not asking Abyss.

*Stardust takes the scroll and begins writing*

Ivy: what are you doing?

*she finishes and hands it back to Ivy*

Written: [Bypass all enchantments on this gold ring, check this gold ring for enchantments]

Output: [Wearer is immune to any spells or enchantments from other animus dragons or magic wielding creature. Wearer is allowed to cast spells even if they were previously enchanted to not be able too, only applies to animus dragons. Wearer’s spells will work in the event that magic is taken away, only applying to animus dragons.]

Ivy: by the book, Abyss thought magic breaking would happen?

Stardust: I guess he thought Darkstalker would be the one to remove everyone’s magic.

Cascade: what did I miss?

Ivy: read this.

Cascade: *reading* three moons.. he wouldn’t.

Ivy: I’m not sure if this was meant to save magic or anything, but if this falls into the wrong talons, it’s dangerous.

Cascade: where did he get this?

Ivy: who knows, all I know is I have it, and I’m not an animus.

Seaweed- that's weird...

(Sorry how this was how it was revealed, o meant to reveal it earlier)

Cascade: keep it for now. We can stop by the first island we came to and ask him.

Ivy: it’s entirely possible he knew he would get kidnapped when he came here so he left it with us.

Stardust: … erm.. maybe I could ask Inferna.

Cascade: in the morning.

———— *no one could hear*

Blizzard: … I think I need a break from traveling. I’ve been around the world on an iceberg, watched a dragon fall out of the sky, Seerstriker attacking us, and this weird seawing…

Stormbringer: I know.

Blizzard: at the very least something good happened out of it.

Stormbringer: what’s that?

Blizzard: I met you!

Stormbringer: I can say the same. I think meeting you was the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

*they both smile at each other, Blizzard leans on Stormbringer, they go back to watching the stars together*

————

Stardust: that island is west of here. I could go-

Cascade: I doubt he’ll be up.

Seaweed- true

Cascade: we’ll head there in the morning then.

Stardust: yeah, that’s a better idea.

Seaweed- definitely

*you all decide it’s time to get some sleep*

—————
*Mudslide and Inferna were the last dragons awake, laying next to each other*

Mudslide: definitely a weird experience coming back here. I wasn’t expecting a seawing version of Darkstalker.

Inferna: me neither. But hey, we saved Abyss.

Mudslide: … I also met you. *she wrapped Inferna in her wing*

Inferna: you’re not the first mudwing I’ve met. But you’re definitely the best.

Mudslide: oh knock it off. I’m sure I can’t be the best. No dragon can.

Inferna: .. maybe no dragon can be the best dragon, but you sure come close. *she would have hugged her, but her wing is in the way, she settled for leaning on her*

Mudslide: I do know one thing. You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

*the two dragons kissed*
——————————————

*Sunrise comes and Inferna and Mudslide are the first ones up, but they continue laying on the beach. Stardust looked pretty tired. Looks like she just collapsed next to you, Stormbringer and Blizzard were up though*

Seaweed- *yawns*
(Finally I've been waiting for that moment :D)

(Did I fake you out with the Stormbringer/Blizzard one? Lol)

*Blizzard was stretching her wings when Ivy woke up. Ivy took a moment to stretch*

Ivy: I need to go tell Inferna about the ring.

(lol)
Seaweed- yeah

*Ivy leaves with the ring and the scroll*

*Mirage woke up from Ivy leaving*

Mirage: hm… is Stardust or Cascade up?

Stormbringer: let them sleep. Stardust woke me up when she fell into the sand. Must have been tired from comparing star charts.

*Stardust raised their talon in a “thumbs up” gesture*

Blizzard: … guess that leaves Cascade.

Seaweed- yeah

Mirage: how long were you up Stardust? I haven’t seen this tired in—

*Stardust gets up, she isn’t as sluggish as she was just a second ago*

Stardust: sorry, it took me a minute. I was comfortable.

Mirage: alright, we’re waiting on Cascade.

*Cascade yawned as he said that and decided to stretch her wings before getting up*

Cascade: I’m ready.

*Ivy ran back*

Ivy: Inferna solved it right here. *she shows you all the scroll*

Written: [bypassing all enchantments, who is the dragon that enchanted the gold ring Ivy is wearing? What is the reason?]

Output: [Abyss, to protect himself from Darkstalker.]

Blizzard: what’s this about? *she reads the earlier enchantment made last night* Oh..

Stormbringer: so Ivy’s been carrying around a ring that could potentially bring magic back, but very dangerous in the wrong talons?

Ivy: yep!

Seaweed- to be honest that's kinda sketchy but smart

Ivy: it doesn’t say the ring can’t be destroyed, but there should be some sort of countermeasure.

Stardust: I’ll see what I can come up with.

Ivy: Inferna said we’re flying too the island near Abyss’s home now. Mudslide is going to ask if Abyss could see us before we left so we can ask him again.

Seaweed- oh ok

Ivy: we’ll leave in a few minutes I think, Coelacanth, Bedrock, and Misty are still asleep.

Seaweed- yeah...they need the rest...so does everyone else.

*Misty walks down to the beach*

Misty: any of you sleep well?

Ivy: I guess.

Mirage: are the rest of you up?

Misty: yeah, Mudslide woke us up. We’re waiting for you.

Seaweed- I'm awake and ready to start a new day!

Misty: alright, we better hurry up. Coelacanth and Mudslide went to catch some fish 15 minutes ago. I didn’t know Inferna wanted to help but Mudslide didn’t want her getting lost. They’ll probably be back soon.

Seaweed- oh ok.

*Coelacanth and Mudslide came back after 15 minutes with enough fish for everyone. Misty might have forgotten that there were more dragons than she’s used to traveling with*

Mudslide: it wasn’t easy, but I think we got enough for everyone.

Inferna: thank you Mudslide.

*All of the land dragons cooked their fish before eating it, after you all ate, you began flying towards the island you started at*

Seaweed- *does a little flip in the air*

*Mudslide and Inferna were once again flying together chatting about what they did this past year. Inferna tended to not really talk about the war much, Cascade was answering a question bedrock asked, Mirage was talking to Misty. Ivy and Stardust were talking about the ring, and Blizzard and Stormbringer were flying next to each other, just enjoying the water. Coelacanth was watching Bedrock and Misty*

*you reached the island after just 30 minutes. Mudslide and Misty dove underwater to get Abyss*

Seaweed- I hope abyss is ok...I've also never met him before...

Misty: neither have we.

Mirage: he’s not the type of dragon who would plan taking over the world if that’s what you’re worried about.

Seaweed- ohhh ok...

(I just realized that should say Bedrock, not Misty)

Mirage: I’m sure he has an explanation.

*Mudslide and Misty reached the surface with Abyss*

Abyss: hey guys.. *the looked like they were recovering, but still tired and weak* you wanted to know about the ring I gave Ivy?

Inferna: naturally, we had some questions.

Abyss: … *he sighs* I enchanted that incase Darkstalker found me. At one point he made all animus dragons come to him using magic, I narrowly avoided it because I enchanted the ring when I first heard he appeared. I figured he would try to kill any other animus dragons out there. But now it has no use other than it’s the only link to magic the world has now.

Inferna: so… you don’t want to use it? Let’s say for—

Abyss: I hope I don’t have to use it at all. That’s why I left it with you guys, I knew it was dangerous.

Mirage: …

Abyss: yeah, I know, it sounds too good to be true. I don’t like playing with other dragon’s lives. I’d rather use magic to study things like how smart scavengers actually are, you’ve seen the translation scroll.

Blizzard: so you see no reason for the ring?

Abyss: no. But right now it needs to be protected, I’ll think of a permanent solution.

Inferna: .. thanks for clearing that up.

Seaweed- well abyss seems smart

*Misty and Abyss accompany him as he descends back to his home*

Blizzard: he is smart, he pulled me out of the water when I was knocked out in battle. He rescued me instead of letting me drown, then he enchanted this iceberg that wouldn’t melt until we drifted back to Pyhrria, he said he wanted to save more dragons but he couldn’t. He also enchanted this healing ring.

Stormbringer: he likes reading too, I’m sure he has his books here, but I’ve smuggled some scrolls and books across Pyhrria for him. I get some for myself too.

Seaweed- ooo cool

*Mudslide and Misty resurface and swim back to shore*

Mudslide: considering he hasn’t told his parents he was an animus, I’m sure they’ll have a lot of questions for him when he’s fully recovered. He already looks exhausted from ours.

Mirage: it’s best to leave him alone for a little while now. Maybe we should find Barracuda before he runs into trouble.

Seaweed- yeah that's a good idea

*You begin your journey back to the mainland with everyone together. Some dragons resumed their conversations*

(You choose who you want to talk too)

Seaweed- *goes to talk to abyss*

(Abyss isn’t with you, he went back with his parents)

(oop sorry I forgor)
Seaweed- *goes to talk with misty*

Misty: hey seaweed.

Seaweed- hey! Uh so can you tell me what abyss is like? Or really just anything about the group cause I want to get to know all of you better.

Misty: I don’t know about the rest of the group besides Mirage. I’ve never met Abyss before yesterday. But I can tell you this, Mudslide hasn’t been feeling well after we lost our big wings, this was the first time I’ve seen her this happy in a while. *She looks over at Inferna and Mudslide, who were happily chatting to each other* Inferna’s really helping her out, even if I’ve almost ruined it. Bedrock and I are usually pretty quiet, but not so much for me anymore.

Seaweed- huh... interesting. Well I'm glad mudslide is happy with inferna

Misty; I’m not sure I agree, but I am glad she is feeling better. *she looks at them again* Maybe I just need more time to get used to them together.

*it was nearly sunset when you reached mudwing territory.*

Mudslide: do you all want to stop here or continue towards where we met you?

Inferna: I think stopping here is a great idea.

Mirage: I’m okay with it.

Ivy: as I’m not seen or anything. I can only take so many questions.

Stardust: … *she shrugs*

*Stormbringer and Blizzard were okay with it*

Seaweed- I'm fine with it!

*you all land for the night, Stormbringer and Blizzard were once again watching the stars in together with, Blizzard’s wing wrapped around Stormbringer, a little ways away*

Coelacanth: seeing an icewing and Nightwing together is a bit—

Mirage: strange?

Coelacanth: a little. Especially with that rivalry thing.

Mirage: they’ve been like that for a while now…

Seaweed- it's amazing...I can already imagine what their children would look like.

Coelacanth: *he shrugs* eh… maybe.
————
*Inferna and Mudslide fell sleep first, with Mudslids’s wing over Inferna, everyone else fell asleep after them. Misty and Cascade stayed up the latest besides Stormbringer and Blizzard*

Seaweed- good night everyone...*goes to sleep*

Cascade: goodnight.

Misty: goodnight.

Cascade: wait I wanted to ask you-

Misty: if I’m a hybrid because it’s hard to tell?

Cascade: well, yeah. Is easy for everyone else, I can see their gills. But you it’s hard because you look like a normal seawing.

Misty: yeah I know, I look like I got adopted by a bunch of mudwings. Tell you what, I’ll show you something in the morning.

Cascade: alright then.

*they go to sleep, the only dragons left awake are Stormbringer and Blizzard, besides Stardust who is faking being asleep*

Seaweed- *asleep *

…

Stormbringer: I think everyone else is asleep.

Blizzard: just the two of us watching the stars.

*Stardust gets up*

Stardust: I’ll be back in a second. I’m going to go compare star charts again. *she flies away to get a better view of the sky*

Stormbringer: alright, Stardust. *watching her fly away*

Blizzard: I’m wondering if this planet is nowhere near where she once was, and that’s why she’s not finding any of the stars as reference points.

Stormbringer: or missing one.

Blizzard: … if only we could use the pretty stars on your wings to look in space. *they both laugh a little*

Stormbringer: I wish it worked that way as well.

*eventually Stardust came back unsuccessfully, she fell asleep away from everyone else, Blizzard and Stormbringer fell asleep next to each other again*

Seaweed- *rolls over in sleep*

*Its morning again, which meant it was time for the other dragons to make their last flight*

Mudslide: so you all are leaving?

Inferna: I was hoping you would come with us. I’ll find a way to add more room to the cave.

Mudslide: Don’t worry about it, we’ll mostly stay here. We’re a bit more used to it. That’s very sweet of you though.

Inferna: oh.. *she looked sad*

Mudslide: don’t worry, we’re not that far apart, it’s only a short flight. We’ll join you from time to time.

*Inferna’s eye’s lit up*

Mudslide: We’ll even fly back with you.

Seaweed- heh... couple

*Inferna hugged Mudslide as a way of saying thank you, Misty sort of rolled her eyes when Mudslide wasn’t paying attention*

Coelacanth: well um.. if you two are ready…

Mirage: *jokingly* are we sure no one used a love spell or something?

Stormbringer: leave them be Mirage. *half laughing with Blizzard*

*Ivy and Stardust didn’t seem to be paying attention, and instead, we’re messing with the ring again*

Mudslide: I actually thought that was pretty funny.

Inferna: okay, now I’m ready.

Seaweed- very funny

Inferna: is everyone ready?

*they all nod in agreement, Stardust and Ivy stood up*

Seaweed- yep! Rested and ready to go!

*All of of you fly begin to fly back to the cave from where you started*

Stormbringer: wait a minute we’re forgetting something.

Blizzard: Barracuda!

Inferna: Three moons! *she face palmed* I forgot!

Blizzard: we better find—

*Barracuda flew up beside Mirage*

Barracuda: right here.

Mudslide: Barracuda, I’m so sorry, we were just about to go look for you.

Barracuda: if you did, you would have been searching for a long time. I was getting ready to fly back to the sea kingdom when I saw you. Also my brother is no more. He foolishly stopped a Nightwing and icewing fighting each other and the Nightwing killed him while he was monologuing. The two gave each other complements, agreed that was weird, and left while wishing me luck in my travels.

Blizzard: wow that’s..

Stormbringer: amazingly lucky. *he realized he finished Blizzard’s sentence and covered his mouth, which made her chuckle, and made Misty and Bedrock look over at them*

Barracuda: … yeah it was pretty lucky. I still couldn’t figure out why that icewing was so far south.

Seaweed- there was a war...uh but yeah that was lucky!

Barracuda: I was locked in there so long I didn’t even know he existed until my brother told me. Anyways, I’m fairly certain at least someone in my family has noticed we went missing. I better go tell them what happened. Maybe I’ll see you guys again some day.

Mirage: maybe we will. In that case, good bye for now.

*Barracuda broke off and began flying east again*

*the rest of you flew on and prepared to settle in for a few days of rest*

[End]

(Yas that was a good one I liked it a lot)

(Thanks)

(ye :D)
