Yeah, sorry dude, you’re actually just dying- not daydreaming.

Danke schön Josh for the forms!

Eclipse scoffed, lifting her head to look at Tobias. "You are going to throw all of your dragons in the arena now? Seriously, are you trying to get u-... them, all killed." She stared hard at the scavenger, exchanging a skeptical look with Shrike.

“Team rally?” Shrike questioned Tobias after glancing over at Kapok, asking for the two of them. “What the heck is that? You expect me ta fight with this misfit bunch? And Sol?” He huffed grouchily.

Eclipse scoffed, lifting her head to look at Tobias. "You are going to throw all of your dragons in the arena now? Seriously, are you trying to get u-... them, all killed." She stared hard at the scavenger, exchanging a skeptical look with Shrike.

"I do." He answered Shrike. "I'm not." He answered the LunarWing without looking at her. "Lookit, lookit, we have muscle," He pointed to Dred and Kapok, "we need a small guy, and you're stupid smart, Shrike, so that's gonna work hard in our favor. Sol knows what he's doing, but he's down two limbs- no forelegs, so that works against us regularly. You and Kapok work so well together, Shrike. It's.. inspiring. So whadayah say?" Tobias motioned around the lot. "You don't want to do this, I'll have to 'sell' you again." He swung around to point at the LunarWing, "I don't like the term either, but it's how things work." He turned back to Shrike. "Thoughts, y'all?"

Eclipse snorted and rolled her eyes. She hated the thought of being used as a form of entertainment... but if it meant potentially getting out of this cage, it might be worth it. Maybe, just a little. She hadn't even been able to unfurl her wing since she'd arrived in The Den, and she hadn't gotten to assess how badly damaged her right shoulder was. She hoped she had simply sprained it when she'd landed on it, but assuming from the loud crack she had heard when she'd hit the ground, it was probably a lot worse than that. At the least, it was dislocated. Worst case scenario, it was broken. And she still wasn't sure what to think of the hole that had torn in her left wing. She hoped it wasn't permanent and that the membrane would be able to heal fully. Otherwise, she might never be able to fly again... and that thought terrified her more than anything.
"Yeah, fine whatever," she muttered begrudgingly. "Unfortunately, I don't see much of any other options for me."
Maybe it would feel good to get out and flex her claws a little. Fighting brought with it a sense of thrill and adrenaline. But almost any dragon she would be fighting would be just as much of a prisoner here as she was.
"I don't think I could kill another dragon though," Eclipse added after a pause. "As far as I see it, we are equally as trapped. I don't fight dragons just because I want to, and I know most of these other dragons don't actually want to either."

Neoma jumped slightly as Helios called out to her and Sunspot. Sunspot didn't seem to be in any mood to respond, and Neoma wished she could... but she motioned to the muzzle, signalling she couldn't.
Then, she had an idea. She tapped on the bars, emitting a sharp pinging sound. She tapped out two, then stopped and waved her claws in the air, imitating a sun moving across the sky. She hoped he would get that she was saying two days.
As for telling him where Eclipse was, she shrugged.
She covered her eyes with her talons, hoping he would get that she didn't see where Eclipse went.
She looked away from Helios, back towards the others around them. Specifically the Seawing. She kept wondering how long he had been from water... A water dragon could go insane, kept from his natural element for long.
And an insane dragon would not help any escape plans.

Sunspot pricked her ears in Helios' direction but didn't look at him. She continued staring ahead, listening.

Shrike was pleased that the LunarWing seemed to be on the same page as him. The two shared a glance; perhaps Sol wasn’t his best chance at getting out anymore.. perhaps he had found a new one.
As much as the CloudWing wanted to ignore Tobias and refuse to fight- being.. owned.. by the man rather than, say, Shane was going to give him a better chance at leave than with anyone else. He mentally noted that the three of them, Kapok, the LunarWing and himself seemed to be the only ones who actually wanted to leave.
He growled, flipping his feathered tail back and forth. “Fine. I’ll be a part o your little ‘team.’ Whatever,” he gradually agreed, “don’t expect me ta like it though.”

Blackout blinked. The little human was speaking directly to him now.
"Yes I am." He spoke slowly and clearly. He wanted to be sure she would understand him.
He flicked an ear and shifted to face both of them at once as Whitestar spoke.
"You were there for a while--do you understand any English?" Whitestar asked, and Blackout bared his teeth in an embarrassed grin.
"Well... not very well." He said, shrugging. "I was there all my life. I'm 21, but after all those years, I picked up only a bit. I know some of the things, but honestly, my speaking in English is like how Alyssia speaks in Dragonese... No offense." He finished, turning to her and winking with a friendly look, just in case she understood what he said.
Suddenly, there was a rustling in the leaves around them. With no wind and a seemingly empty clearing aside from the three of them, Blackout automatically tensed up and looked around.
A face materialized out of thin air two inches away from his snout. It was upside down and colorful, and grinning happily.
"Boo!"
Blackout scrambled backward with a loud snarl, staring in shock at the Rainwing that had just revealed himself hanging from a low branch.
"Wha- I- huh?!" Blackout muttered.
The Rainwing laughed merrily. "Hahahaha look how startled he is, Apple!!" He yelled over his shoulder. A light shimmer appeared nearby, and a thin, pretty Rainwing stepped out from behind a thick tree, her scales flashing faint jade-green at the edges... slight annoyance, Blackout remembered faintly.
"Bamboo, you idiot- get down." The other Rainwing said gently, a sparkle of amusement glinting in her white-ish eyes.
Blackout glanced over at Whitestar and Alyssia, a questioning look in his own eyes.
"How did you know I was hanging upside down again?" Bamboo whined, dropping to the ground with a loud oof.
"You clumsy stump, I may be blind but I'm not stupid. I know you a little too well." The Rainwing responded liltingly, and approached the three dumbfounded listeners, her nose outstretched and nostrils flaring to take in the scents. "I apologize for my brother, he's a few fireflies short of a full jar." She said, nodding over her shoulder in his direction.
The male Rainwing stuck his tongue out at her, then trotted over. "I'm Bamboo, that's my blind sister Apple- OW!" He yelped, as her tail whacked him not so gently on the shoulder.
"Thanks for the introduction, I love how you described me soooo eloquently." Apple shook her head.
Blackout was in shock still. "Uh- I- well.... Hello...?" He said helplessly. He stared at the two of them, unsure how the plans they had been making had turned into a meet and greet with two strangers.

Whitestar jumped to his feet, the spikes along his spine standing up again as the two dragons appeared. He had already felt the ice mounting into his throat, ready for an attack when he realized that the dragons were just a couple of passing Rainwings. He let out his breath slowly, cold steam curling from his mouth as the ice in his throat broke up. He watched the two dragons carefully, trying to force his bristling spies to lay flat again. He knew that though Rainwings were among the more peaceful dragons, they were also some of the deadliest when provoked. These two, at the moment, didn't even seem energetic let alone violent. But you could never be too careful.
He looked them over slowly. Even though their patterns were different, they looked almost exactly the same, and the bits of their scales that didn't shift shared the same color theme. They were very noticeably related. Whitestar glanced at Apple's milky white eyes with a pang of sympathy. He couldn't even imagine what it must be like to live in a world without light, and he shuddered at the thought.
Blackout looked literally dumbfounded and Whitestar couldn't help but be amused by his nervous stuttering.
"Hello, Apple, Bamboo," Whitestar started politely nodding to each of them. "Can we help you? Is there a reason you... dropped in."
He kept a defensive position, unsure of the Rainwing's intentions, though they seemed well-mannered, Whitestar knew full well that things weren't always what they seemed. He still wasn't sure if he even trusted Blackout yet, seeing as the X-Nightwing hunter just dropped in, apparently straight from a battle. And now that Whitestar paid more attention, the Nightwing was bigger than him and seven years older. He undoubtedly had more fighting experience than Whitestar and even more training. He was raised to be a killer, and it wasn't easy to just pull that sort of lifestyle out and start fresh. Alyssia was probably the most trustworthy, but even she could be just a lure for the hunters. They had both come from the same battle and though they claimed to have not been in union with the Nightwing hunters, they both came from the same battle alive and free, a battle which, as far as Whitstar knew, had been a losing round for the others.
He felt somewhat overwhelmed by the constant flow of possible scenarios on top of the already looming thought that he still needed to find a way to get Eclipse out of the Scorpion Den. He glanced at the sky distractedly as Apple and Bamboo replied to his earlier question. He wondered if it would be better to leave for the Scorpion Den now and find a way to sneak in tonight or come up with a plan involving all these new dragons-ehr-and... human, that they would have to wait off on. He didn't know how much time he had, or if Eclipse was even still alive at all. The most he could do--at least, within reasonable parameters--was hope.

Alyssia jumped at the sound of a dragon behind her. She covered her mouth to hide her scream and sat there wide eyed as she watched these two new dragon. "Oh my word! What are they trying to do? Kill me?" she muttered in English, thinking that no one would understand what she was saying. She took another breath and calmed herself down. Gathering her thoughts once again, she looked up at Whitestar. He looked worried. She watched him look at the sky and then look back, fear and worry in his eyes. He definitely wants to get going. She looked back at the other two dragons and tried to remember what they had said. The conversation between the two dragons was a bit jumbled and she had a hard time understanding, but by the way they spoke to each other, she could only imagine that they were related. She looked over at blackout who was trying to greet them. She chuckled a little at the huge dragon stuttering over his words. Her thoughts swirled, the information that the nightwing had given her was still being broken down in her mind. She analyzed scenarios and tried to think if she'd ever heard anything about this place. She remembered a place that she had heard rumors about from her school and around the city from tourists and things. The Terrible Viper Pit of Dragons is what they had called it, but maybe it was very similar to the Scorpion Den. Taking her information from that, she began to piece together her plan.
Okay, so we're gonna need a way to get in. Maybe......
Her grin began to spread across her face again as she stared at the two new dragons. Her eyes filled with curiosity and excitement as she also tried to greet them. She walked towards them, hesitantly at first, but then forcing herself to act confident, she walked closer and greeted them, "Hello dragons, I human named Alyssia."

Um, hello everyone. I was wondering if I could join. It's okay if your to into the story to add another charecter or if you just don't want me. I'm a huge fan of WOF although I only got to the NightWing's book. I am also a huge fanatic of dragons in general and I can draw dragons too.

Sure, if you see somewhere you could add a character or have an idea for a character you really want to make. You should probably talk to @-Kiwi- about it though and she might have some good ideas since she's the one running this show

 

[Mary Poopins Love]

Can you give me a run down on the story? I have an idea of a character: a NightWing.
Run down= Where are they? Who are all the characters? Anything else you think of important to inform me? Thanks!
