"There's a dragon in the rebellion that can help you when we get to the first checkpoint," Eclipse said, then paused.
"It's a long story," she muttered. "Helios' son Sol and his owner offered to buy me--yes I know, I'm not thrilled about it either. But Sol fought in the arena so his friend--Tobias--could help me. I still haven't been able to ask him why. Anyway, Tobias did help me. A lot. He helped me with my wings and I got my warping back. There were a few other dragons with us, but I think they are all on the transport with Helios and Crest. We ran into the rebellion a day or two ago and now we have gotten a lot of dragons out of here. I understand now what they meant when they said it was only half of what they planned. There are a lot of dragons still here. But we got a lot out and that's what's important."
She finished staring blankly around at the metal walls.
"And this is Bloodmoon," she added, flicking a wing at the Nightwing. "He escaped his owner and joined the rebellion about the same time Tobias did."
Thinking about the human and his friend Roe made her stomach clench. She had no idea if they were dead or alive, or if they would ever get out of the Den now. She wouldn't know until they were too far away to do anything about it.
Eclipse shifted onto her side, shoving the thoughts away. They'll get out. Tobias is clever, he'll find a way.
In all the rushing and fighting, Eclipse had forgotten to really focus on what was happening. They were escaping. Leaving the Scorpion Den alive. Doing what few dragons had ever managed to do before. They were going to be free.
She smiled slightly at the thought, then glanced back at Sunspot mischievously, flicking her sharply over the back of the head with her tail.
"That's for getting us caught in the first place, you crazy wyvern," she said with a small laugh.
@-Kiwi-
Eclipse smiled and rested her head on her talons, exhausted. The breakout had taken so much of her energy and she could feel the drug from Rose starting to wear off. The transport hummed and jostled slightly as it rolled through the street of the Scorpion Den, and Eclipse let out a long breath of relief. It had all happened so fast and not for the first time, she wondered if it was all a dream.
Many dragons and humans had died on the way out, but many more were finally going to be free. She could only hope that Neoma, Tobias, and Roe were all going to make it out too. She didn't know what she would say to Sol if his best friend never arrived at the checkpoint. How could she tell the Solarwing she had left him in the Maze to fight the Den soldiers? He would never forgive her, and Eclipse didn't think she could either.
Eclipse realized that her eyes were beginning to droop and she readjusted again, closing her eyes.
I'll be there soon, Whitestar. Don't worry.
The sound of the transport rumbling gently lulled her to sleep, and she didn't even notice her head slowly slide onto Bloodmoons forearm.
(For drama purposes, lol,)
Bloodmoon smiled at the Solarwing. "She's one of the few that don't hate me."Sunspot remained standing abd watched Eclipse drift off, her head sliding onto Bloodmoon’s arm. She cocked her head at the reddish NightWing, raising her eyebrows.
“She doesn’t seem to hate you,” Sunspot observed.
Jabez crept down a hall. He hadn't been captured. Miracle number one. Now miracle number two: Save the human. He had followed the people down the corridor from a distance and waited till the Icewing had eliminated them. As he approched the human, he nodded to him. Lowering his wing to its height, he nodded to his back and smiled gently.
