Of Feathers And Flames- A Wings of Fire AU RP

[-Shade-]

Sol clamped his mouth shut, swallowing welling emotions as the idea of a life without Tobias began to play through his mind. He couldn't stay here. He couldn't leave Tobias. Impulsive reactions raced through his mind. Sol's gaze turned slowly towards the narrow passage out of the cavern. He took a sharp, shaking breath. And then he bounded towards cavern exit, his talons spraying rocks in his wake.

The SolarWing skidded to a stop, tossing sand in every direction as he finally let panicked tears streak down his nose. He scanned the dunes, then wheeled back towards the cavern, scrambling up the rocky mountain side. Sol could feel his shoulder throb, the pain jarring as he climbed over a tall boulder, daring to jump to the next mossy ledge before he gazed out at the horizon, his heart pounding terribly. The red dragon swallowed hard, then continued his climb, trying to get his wild thoughts under control- but Tobias was all he had. Tobias was all he  knew. Horrid tears welled yet again, and Sol settled himself on a jagged ledge, coughing back gasping half-sobs as he sought to catch his shallow breath.
This literally was his worst nightmare. How could this be happening.
How could this be happening.

Eclipse started after Sol and then paused, turning back to Shard and nudging the Icewing towards Sunspot.
"Keep an eye on her please," she said, shooting the Solarwing a pleading look before whirling and bolting out of the cavern without waiting for a response.
"Sol, wait!"
She was pretty sure the Solarwing couldn't hear her at that moment. She watched him skid out onto the sand in a panic and stop, raking his gaze over the rolling desert before whipping around and launching himself onto the rocky slope surrounding the cavern entrance.
Eclipse dug her talons into the sand to slow herself as she exited the cave, almost sliding too far and losing her balance as she tried to turn mid-skid.
"Sol, stop!"
He still couldn't hear her. He was already halfway up the slope, scrambling and leaping up the rocky incline. She had no idea what he was doing, but if he ended up hurting himself, she knew she wouldn't be able to keep from blaming herself.
Eclipse cursed under her breath as she unfurled her wings, knowing she would probably regret what she was about to do.
She lept at the slope with a massive pound of her wings, her claws grinding on the stones as she lept again, beating her wings to propel herself upward, ignoring the pain that twinged through her right shoulder every time she did.
Sol finally stopped on one of the uneven and somewhat questionable ledges jutting out of the slope, his chest heaving with what Eclipse could only guess were choked sobs. Steaming tears trailed down his crimson scales, evaporating around his neck or dripping over the sides of his snout.
Eclipse heaved herself onto the ledge, suppressing a gasp from the exertion. For a moment, the two of them just stood there panting and staring out toward the horizon, the same horrible dread hanging in both their minds. Eclipse finally paced slowly to the Solarwings side and gently rested a cool, silver talon on his heated shoulder, keeping her gaze focused on the ocean of sand, barely noticing her wing slightly brushing his. She wished she knew what to say to comfort him or to try and reassure him, but she wasn't convinced herself that Tobias had actually escaped. The last thing she wanted was to lie to Sol right now, and that was the last thing he needed. So she said nothing, letting the silence stretch on and hoping that her presence was enough to at least calm Sol down a little.

Hibiscus noticed a deep red SkyWing casting a look over the large group of dragons and offered a smile when their eyes met. It'd been years since she had even an ally, and her extroverted heart ached for new friends. She wanted to make a good impression on these dragons.

Cas’ eyes caught on a LeafWing who smiled politely as him when his gaze ranged over her.
Worth a shot- she looked approachable enough.
He walked over, trying to keep his energetic giddiness from showing in his gait. He smiled crookedly, cocking his head. “Oh hi! What’s your name?” The SkyWing asked conversely.

Hibiscus grinned. "Hi! My name's Hibiscus. What's yours?"
The usual thrill of meeting new dragons shot through her. Gosh, she had missed this.

At first Sol hid his face, inwardly cursing the steam as tears bubbled down his neck. He couldn't remember the last time he'd cried.
Had he ever cried?
Sol flinched as Eclipse gently placed a cold talon on his overheated scales. He had worked himself up. Even he could feel the excited heat radiating off his wings. But Eclipse didn't seem to mind. Sol leaned against her, his expression hardening as he stared out at the desert, heat swirling through the suffocating air.

“My name is Cassius, but call me Cas.” The SkyWing’s tail waved back and forth. “You got here from the Den too?”

"Nice to meet you, Cas," she replied, smiling. "I did. I thought I would never get out. How long were you there?" She tilted her head.

Sunspot watched Eclipse with an incredulous expression as the LunarWing shoved Shard towards her abd took off after Sol. “I HATE DRAGONETS DONT DO THIS TO ME,” she yelled, but Eclipse didn’t hear.

She looked down at the tiny white IceWing, clear blue eyes looking up into hers. “Blazing suns,” she hissed.

"Nice to meet you, Cas," she replied, smiling. "I did. I thought I would never get out. How long were you there?" She tilted her head.

“Only like a week or so, but it was horrible. They just kept me in a cage the whole time and tried to make me fight someone who basically just almost murdered me,” Cas rambled, “I didn’t even know scavengers did that kind of thing- kidnap dragons? Why do they even do that?”
