“Thank you,” Raptor flashed a grin to the bored bankteller who traded her check for some of the money she’d earned. The dragoness pocketed her earnings in her satchel as the teller nodded flatly. Raptor glanced down the street and walked back onto the main road.
Almost instantly, she spotted two burly NightWings among the crowd—armored and carrying riders on their backs. The hybrid dragon drew in a breath and looked away, trying to act casual as she kept an eye on the pair as they walked past, surveying the passing dragons in the crowd. They seemed to be looking for someone.
“What in the—” Raptor, among several others, looked up at the shadows of three more NightWings flying overhead. “What? Why?” She muttered to herself, thoroughly alarmed. They must’ve all arrived this afternoon, but what (or who) were they looking for?
The dragoness made her way back home with shockingly no trouble. The black dragons payed no heed to her.

Raptor slung her satchel onto a small table, a troubled look on her face.
“NightWings?” She muttered to herself incredulously. “Why?” And not even ordinary NightWings—dragon hunters. She shook her head, going back over to her satchel to hang it up. When she picked it up, a folded piece of paper fluttered to the ground. Raptor tilted her head, picked it up, and read it:

“Chekpiont.”

Raptor grinned, her stomach twisting with both excitement and fear simultaneously.
Several minutes later, she was at a small, run-down looking house at the southernmost part of Possibility. Out of breath, she set down a large cooler and huffed for a moment before dragging it inside. The door creaked inward and swing wildly as she pushed it, and two furry talons reached out from the darkness to take the cooler from her. “I’ll get that,” the owner of the talons said agreeably, and a furred face grinned back at her as she looked up.
Raptor groaned, letting the SnowWing take the heavy item as she shook out her talons. “Ugh that’s heavy,” she complained, stepping inside and barring the door from the inside with a heavy bit of metal.
“You know you could just bring the fish here after you catch it, right?” The SnowWing said, placing the cooler in a corner. “But then it would go bad,” Raptor informed him as she dug through her bag and pulled out the piece of paper which she proceeded to throw at the SnowWing. “And you misspelled ‘Checkpoint’.” The snow dragon ducked away from the paper with a playful grin on his face. “Okay, fine. How did I spell ‘Checkpoint’ wrong? Was it the O and the I? Dang it, I knew I got those mixed up.” Raptor rolled her eyes, “yeah, that and you missed a C.”
The SnowWing laughed and there was a pause.
“So how many are there?” The hybrid asked. The snow dragon’s eyes widened, “a hundred and five transport trucks, would you believe it.” Raptor matched his expression, “wait, really?” She said doubtfully.
“Yup,” the SnowWing went on, “they’re all arriving a little after sunset.” Raptor grimaced, a talon going to her forehead, “that’s.. a lot of dragons. You’ve seen the NightWings, right?” The SnowWing nodded, “it’s gonna be hard. We might end up taking out a couple, it’s gonna be fun!” The white dragon shivered with excitement while an uneasy feeling settled in Raptor’s gut. “They musta had a SkyWing messenger sent to the NightWings here the morning or something. Ooo, this is gonna be tricky!” The SnowWing skipped into the next room, leaving an anxious Raptor.

(Ooo- I had an idea. What if Raptor adopted Shard? (I mean, unless you have other plans) She is half IceWing after all and runs this next checkpoint.)

Eclipse has kinda gradually decided she is adopting Shard. Since Whitestar is also an Icewing, I figured the two of them would be an okay couple to raise her.

Sol scoffed and looked away.
She was crying. Crying.
And he didn't feel bad about it.
He felt annoyed.

Gosh, they didn't belong here. Where dragons gathered who had actually suffered and hated the Scorpion Den with every fiber of their being. Sol had SURVIVED because of the Scorpion Den. And he did like his job, and he was not going to deny it. How could someone except him to just switch over opinions, beliefs?
He had survived, they hadn't.
He was just that good, they weren't.
"Hey, brother," Tobias leaned against Sol slightly, catching the dragon's attention.
Sol swung his head around with a determined look. "We should leave for the Kingdom of Sun. With Helios. We should leave when we get back to this Checkpoint."
Tobias blinked. "What."
"Helios said we could go. And I want to. You'll be s- you'll be fine. He'll- tell them not to eat you."
"Comforting. What's wrong, partner?"
"I've just been thinking about it. I think-.. I think we should go."
"To the Kingdom of Sun." Tobias clarified.
"My-.." Sol sucked in a sharp breath, still speaking in quite tones. "My home, yes. I want to see it. I want to see my mother. My dragons... I want to see where I belong."
Tobias shook his head, leaning his full weight against the SolarWing. "You belong, buddy. Circumstances don't determine-"
"No, Tobias, it's fine." Sol half snapped. "I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Sol winced at his own selfish words, but Tobias obliged his request, thankfully.
The SolarWing didn't dare glance towards the IceWing. He was loosing his temper. And he knew why.
But it was just easier to live in denial.

The icewing was backing up towards Crest and away from Sol. He could hear the shake in her young voice as she spoke and he instinctively dropped his wing closer to her almost in comfort. Sol then went to speaking to Tobias. Crest couldn't understand the solarwing. He had heard about Prince Sol when he was a child, but this dragon seemed so different. Could the Scorpion Den change people this much?
Crest leaned his head down to look at Shard more on her eye level. "Shard, none of us wish we had been there. But, we've escaped from that horrid place and we're free to go back home." A thought struck Crest, "Shard, where is your home?"

Tears began flowing over Shard's cold scales and she inhaled sharply.
"W-we used to have a home in the Ice Kingdom, but Father said it was not safe anymore." The Icewing tried to keep her voice from trembling, unsuccessfully.
"We didn't have a home after that, we just traveled a little. But now I don't think..."
She bit her lip, trying not to let it quiver.
"I don't think I have a home anymore."
Shard shrunk beneath the gazes of the other dragons, her heartbeat picking up as she fought to keep her tears back.

Lol I realized that Whitestar and Alyssia are speaking different languages. I'm gonna roll with it though.

The cold wing lowered behind Alyssia comfortingly. Even though the icewing was radiating the cold, she couldn't help but feel a warmth from his kind nature. The sound of Austin's voice echoed down the halls. She didn't want to see him. She was tired of him. Whitestar spoke to her and she caught some of the words and pieced together what he was trying to get across to her. She chuckles slightly at the thought that she had probably just taught Whitestar the English word "slimeball."
Her emotions were still swirling and she didn't know if she would be of much use to anyone, but she decided that they needed to leave. She hated to admit it, but something in Austin's yell sounded worried and that made Alyssia worried too.
She sighed and tried her best to answer in Dragonese, "Yes, for now, we follow." Her mouth turned upwards with her mischievous smile, but it didn't seem to mix with her tear ridden face. "I have plan for him."
Austin's voice was getting closer and Alyssia turned in the direction of the voice. She still didn't feel ready at all to get back into the adventure, but she didn't have a choice. Before she shouted, she looked back at Whitestar, walked towards him, and hugged his neck while his head was closer to the ground. "Thank you."
turning back, she shouted, "Austin! We're this way!"

Whitestar blinked in surprise for a moment at Alyssia's embrace, but the feeling quickly passed and he lifted a talon to gently hug her back, his claws completely enfolding her small form. She pulled away a second later, turning back up the hallway and calling something out in English.
Whitestar stood and waited patiently, expecting Austin and the others to appear any moment, still listening cautiously for the sound of any Nightwing patrols.

“Hm?” Shrike shook his head slightly to clear his thoughts and tilted his head halfway towards Kapok. He cleared his throat and looked away abruptly, saying, “I’m fine.” The CloudWing sighed. “Ya know where we’re goin?” He asked, changing the subject, “other than North?”

Kapok shrugged, sitting up and glancing around the transport. He turned his gaze back toward Shrike, fixing the Cloudwing with another questioning look.

@Crestcrazy2 (is Helios on this transport?)

“Yup,” the SnowWing went on, “one a little after sunset (I assume that’s the one Dred, Kapok, and Shrike are on), one right before midnight (that the one I assume Sol and the others are on), and another after midnight. It’s a little behind.” Raptor grimaced, a talon going to her forehead, “that’s.. a lot of dragons. You’ve seen the NightWings, right?” The SnowWing nodded, “it’s gonna be hard.
