Neoma landed softly, looking around her. She saw the other Solarwing settle into a defensive stance. She marked it in her mind; he wasn't looking for a fight. Glancing at Sunspot, she could see her visible tension. Neoma shuffled closer slightly, muttering, "Calm down a little. It's not gonna hurt anything to take a deep breath alright? If anything, you'd be able to assess the situation better." Neoma hoped Sunspot would take her advice, but she couldn't be sure; she wasn't looking at Sunspot to see.
Helios glared at her, releasing a low growl. “You clearly do not know who you speak to with such disgust. Are you not aware I am the mate of Queen (whatever her name is, should I just give the queen a name?), stand down, rebel.” He said, eyeing Sunspot. “I mean you no harm. I am on my way to the Scorpion Den. My son is trapped and if he’s still alive I intend to free him.” He said, his voice booming and his scales pulsing with red light. “Now who are you? I only wish to know because you….you seem to be a true Solarwing. One of few.” He said, his voice calming at the very end, as if he hoped it would calm her as well.
Eclipse caught Neoma's eye as she slowly swirled down to the sand, like a stalking vulture. An inquiring look. Eclipse guessed it was something along the lines of, be ready. Although, whether that meant "be ready to intervene" or "be ready to fight" she wasn't completely sure. But, nonetheless, she angled her wings slightly, circling tighter and lower. She cocked her head in the direction of the trio, listening intently to the conversation. She couldn't help a cocky grin from spreading across her face as the large Solarwing gave his booming speech. Nice, she thought. Not only did Sunspot tick off another Solarwing, but she went and mouthed off to the King of her tribe. Eclipse watched Sunpot expectantly, hoping for at least the slightest shocked or even embarrassed reaction. Though she didn't expect much of that from the sassy little Solarwing.
Sunspot snapped her mouth shut, her crest flaring up in shock. She quickly regained her composure, the only tell of her surprise being the very tip of her tail twitching in the sand.
Sunspot's sassiness makes me laugh XD
I literally don't know if there is a dragon from Pyrrhia to Pantala that could drive Eclipse more nuts lol
King caught this movement and a part of him deep down inside scolded himself for even trying. Corvus obviously had feelings for her. So, what did he feel? What was this spark inside him trying to say? “You barely know her, you’ve only spoken to her twice and you shouldn’t be thinking about her.” He told himself, trying to bury whatever that feeling was.
Helios grunted, this Solarwing obviously had been raised by the rebels who fled the Kingdom all those years ago. “I know that it’s a death trap, why else do you think I’m trying to get my son out of there?! He’s all I have left and I can’t lose him.” He shouted, his wing tips fanning out instinctively and glinting in the bright desert sun. He quickly folded them back in, shocked by the volume of his own voice. “Who are you? Tell me and I will be on my way to the “death trap” and won’t bother you again. And why are two blazing lunarwings with you?” He asked, looking from the one with a recent bruise on her head and the one in the sky.
Neoma glanced between the two. This was clearly a Solarwing dispute and she didn't want to get between it, but something in her bristled at the way he spoke of the Lunarwings.
