Of Feathers And Flames- A Wings of Fire AU RP

[-Shade-]

ok i just saw all this and omg the ending line of eclipse's last part T-T
that's so sweet and cute!!!!! i'll try to have neoma watching or something in the background, idk what y'all are thinking but what if she's auctioned a few later? The crowd would want to stay longer if they knew there was another Lunarwing, but if she comes last, then they won't have the big finish with the huge Solarwing or something.... I'll wait to do Neoma's part until i have some feedback so it works out right!

I don't think they are planning to auction Neoma tonight, I think either for suspense or for time's sake. @_-Captain BRM-_ is kinda running this part of the show so I am just rping Eclipse in when I can

Eclipse shrunk backwards as blinding white lights shot into the dark enclosure. A loud human voice seemed to echo from every corner of the arena and thousands of the creatures lined the seating areas. She wasn't sure what she was more afraid of. The thought of all of those countless eyes fixed on her, watching her, or the terror of what might happen next. She had no idea what dragons she might end up fighting, or if that was even the plan at all. She tried to back up, and one of the humans around her stabbed another of the rods into her side, forcing her forward. She stepped trembling out onto the light washed sand, ducking her head down and pulling her wings in close. She would have almost enjoyed finally having open space if she didn't feel so suffocated by the ocean of greedy spectators, and the metal clamps on her wing spokes that kept her from stretching her stiff wings. High-pitched sounds of admiration swept over the crowd and the loud human voice split the air again. Eclipse felt her chest tighten and her breath came in quick terrified gasps. Nothing in this place made sense. None of it was natural. It was all loud, and bright, and she couldn't be anywhere without the stupid creatures drooling over her silver scales. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on her breathing, wishing she could ignore the noise and lights. She could hardly remember being this scared in her life, and she wanted more than anything in that moment, to curl up into the cool gentle wings of the only refuge she'd ever known.

Tobias shook his head. Gosh, she was terrified.
A few handlers prodded the LunarWing along, and Tobias looked away, pulling out his phone as it buzzed, the link to the bid automatically notifying him. He accessed the link, signing in, his name appearing on the board.
The woman continued talking about the LunarWing as the handlers forced the dragon to stand.
"She is not violent." Gongll whispered.
"Yet." Tobias murmered, "She's in shock, probably half drugged, too."
"You are fortunate if you are buying on Sol's behalf. She would not make a good fighter."
Tobias shrugged, "She might yet, they just brought her in yesterday, and like I said, all drugged up, nothing's through yet."
"Tobias, Tobias!" The woman suddenly called his name, and Tobias half smiled, giving a short wave as his face appeared on the screen. "I guess the great Sol isn't enough for you, eh?" She joked, and Tobias rolled his eyes with a half smile, shrugging slightly. A few laughs echoed through the noisy crowd, and the auctioneer quickly moved onto a few other popular names entering the bid.
Gongll sat back, smiling as she crossed her legs, resting her head on her hand.
"Bidding starts at ten mill."
It escalated unbelievably fast.
Before Tobias knew it, he was putting over fifty million on this dragon, blindly increasing his bid the moment it was passed.
Gongll stared at the screen, occasionally moving the dragonet back onto her lap, who was actively trying to steal a man's popcorn, as the bids increased, shocked at how high they went for such a timid creature.
"Going once-"
Tobias slouched in his seat, his finger hovering over the phone, ready to increase his bid.
"Going twice-"
He sat up a little.
" Sold, to August Tobias for seventy-five million dollars."
It was like a punch to the gut. Tobias scrambled to sit up, swearing quite loudly as his face appeared on the screen again.
The crowd cheered and Tobias laughed, somewhat hysterically as he saluted, shoving his hat down onto this head and turning to Gongll, who offered him a high five. He half heartedly obliged. "I'm an idiot."
Gongll chucked, shaking her head. "You will make double with Sol competing tonight."
"Yeah!" Tobias exclaimed, "If he survives! Yay!"
The announcer was saying something else, but Tobias wasn't listening. He slouched back in his seat, rubbing a hand wearily across his face.

Whitestars expression darkened at the scavenger's question. His rest and then the strange interaction had pushed his mission to the back of his mind, but now, the human's simple inquiry brought it all flooding back, along with the urgency. He looked away from her, staring up at the sun that was beginning to sink from its perch in the center of the sky.
"I'm going to the Den. The Scorpion Den." He pointed in the direction of the human city. "There is a dragon there that I need to save." He hoped the human understood him.

The white dragon looked away, and Alyssia wondered what he could be looking at. She hoped that he had understood her question. She heard something about the Scorpion Den and cocked her head, following the way he pointed. Then she heard something about saving a dragon. Immediately, the image of the place she had escaped from came to mind. There were many dragons there that needed saving. Thinking about the direction he pointed, she concluded that that had to be the place he was talking about. She shuddered as the memory of the place came back to her mind. Shaking her head, she brought herself back to the present.
"Whitestar, who is dragon? What look like?" she inquired, hoping that she had maybe seen the dragon while escaping and be able to help just a little. The dragon looked distressed and her heart softened and she felt the need to try and help. Plus, maybe this would open an opportunity for a plan to free the others as well...

Sorry- I was writing and getting distracted and stuff.
We could do that! The only reason I didn't have Neoma being sold, is because I thought she was Kiwi's and Kiwi hasn't been super active, which is fine, I just wanted to keep moving everything along.

Love you, Kiwi

Whitestar paused, trying to think of a way to translate it to Alyssia. "A Lunarwing," he said simply at first. When she still looked confused he continued, "A silver dragon? Silver?" He traced three circles in the sand, one noticeably bigger than the other two, which were roughly the same size. He hoped they looked enough like moons. "Lunarwing? Moon dragon?" He blew some ice onto the sandy drawings, hoping the silver frost would add enough touch to bring the point across.

Sol grinned from where he stood in the wide warm up box, listening intently to the speaker above him. He jumped from foot to foot, shaking his wings out excitedly. He trotted in circles for a few minutes as the announcer introduced the Rally.
"Round 1: Saugo's Sparkler verses SKB Skipping for Cash."
The dull road of the crowd- Sol smiled, folding his wings in as he stretched.

Where does Eclipse go after this? Straight to Tobias' lot, or to somewhere else beforehand?
