Of Feathers And Flames- A Wings of Fire AU RP

Urm, idk? Myabe RP gen to this part?

"Alicanto," the silver dragon said, somewhat begrudgingly, but he didn't show it.
His gaze flickered over the terrain, which had shifted quite suddenly from the smaller buildings of the Den to a rolling desert. Far to the East, the Claws of the Cloud Mountains stretched the entire length of the horizon like a distant wall, and Alicanto followed the highway with sharp eyes, trying to spot any transports that might obviously be rebellion owned. He didn't actually expect to find anything, but it was always best to be cautious.
They hadn't been given any description of the vehicle which the fugitives were taking, but then again, no current leads had seen which one it was.
And that's where Alicanto's plan came into play. It was still a work in progress, but it was the best they had for now, and he would have plenty of time to polish it up during the trip.
He beat his wing to rise higher into the air, expecting the other two to follow suit but not really caring.
He continued until the highway was as thin as one of his claws held at arm's length, and he could see the different, smaller roads peeling away from the main one in regular intervals. Several decent-sized ones split off in the direction of the Western coast of the continent, others toward the Five Tailed River, and some toward the Southern shores.
But there was another one that split away from the main highway, only slightly smaller, heading in the direction of the most Northern tip of the continent. The mountains curved slightly and widened in that direction, littered with caves and rivers as the terrain grew less rocky and more lush. It was a long flight, several hours from what Alicanto guessed, and they would need to stop at least once.
But if there was one good place to check for the rebellion, that was it. The trip to the western side of the continent was long and they would be exposed. There were hardly any cities until they would reach the coast, and then there was nowhere to take the dragons from there. They couldn't go to the Ice Kingdom without the same issue of lacking cover, as well as the threat from both the cold and the Icewings that still ruled there. The city of Possibility would have been a decent choice, but there were hunters stationed there, both in the human port of the city and the dragon town built over the river. The South Coast was too close to offer real protection.
But the Cloud Mountains made the perfect hiding place. They could hide anywhere beside or within the peaks, and there was still half a continent's worth of room to run, as well as the rapid highways that stretched through regular passes in the mountains. Where else would they go?
Alicanto angled his wings and turned slowly toward the Northeast, the rising sun bouncing off his metallic feathers like a broken mirror.

Gen soared above the sand, moving with each rise and dip of the dunes. The other two dragon flew high above, with no clouds to hide behind. They would be spotted immediately.
Sand sprayed like dust ahead, and Gen's eyes scanned the tire tracks. Their target was near.
 
This is the way.

Alicanto watched the hybrid for a moment and let out a small scoff, shaking his head before tracing his gaze over the trail of tire tracks.
As he'd predicted, the fugitive's car had in fact, been headed in this direction, and he couldn't wipe the smug grin off his face for nearly a full half an hour when they'd spotted the tracks leading away from one of the smaller roads, setting out over the flats here the dunes had shrunk some.
Now they could all see the transport and the cloud of dust that was spiraling up into the air behind it like a smoke signal. They were flying slightly faster than the vehicle, but with the lead the fugitives had on them as well as how slowly they were closing the gap, it would still take, at the most, another hour to catch up.
They had been flying since the sun had cleared the horizon that morning, and now the Cloud Mountains were much closer and the desert was practically glowing from the late morning sunlight that had finally climbed over the sand. Alicanto couldn't stand to fly so close to the searing dunes. The heat this far up was maybe only half as bad as closer to the ground where Gen was, reflected and magnified by the sand.
The Cloudwing knew that they would be easily seen from way up here, but it didn't really matter. Their targets had nowhere to go, and if they swerved off their course, the dragons would close the gap between them even faster than they already were. All they could do was keep running until the hunters were on top of them.
Alicanto smiled darkly, his eyes fixed on the transport in the distance. If there was even a way for them to escape, their chances were slim.

Okay, it's still night/early morning. What if we had a scary in the dark Jurassic Park stalker moment 😏

I don't want to kill Tobias, and I don't think he should get taken back to the SD. We already played that card very recently. But- Gen could turn semi good, and save him. I'd love to get Sol in on this as well. The last Transport needs to arrive, Sol needs to realize Tobias didn't make it back.

Do you want me to edit the part so that it's still night?

I am waiting for you and @Crestcrazy2 to wrap up the scene with Sol and Helios before I bring the last transport in, since Helios just arrived, I need the gap between the transports to be noticeable
