"Seawing?" Eclipse ran a talon down her snout. "Crest?"

"Seawing?" Eclipse ran a talon down her snout. "Crest?"

“I didn’t know his name,” Sunspot said, narrowing her eyes slightly at the other dragons in the transport. “Ugh, when does this stupid drug wear off? I’m useless without my fire.”

She turned and looked Eclipse up and down. “And you? What happened to you and how did you even get here? Why’d you even come back?”

"There's a dragon in the rebellion that can help you when we get to the first checkpoint," Eclipse said, then paused.
"It's a long story," she muttered. "Helios' son Sol and his owner offered to buy me--yes I know, I'm not thrilled about it either. But Sol fought in the arena so his friend--Tobias--could help me. I still haven't been able to ask him why. Anyway, Tobias did help me. A lot. He helped me with my wings and I got my warping back. There were a few other dragons with us, but I think they are all on the transport with Helios and Crest. We ran into the rebellion a day or two ago and now we have gotten a lot of dragons out of here. I understand now what they meant when they said it was only half of what they planned. There are a lot of dragons still here. But we got a lot out and that's what's important."
She finished staring blankly around at the metal walls.
"And this is Bloodmoon," she added, flicking a wing at the Nightwing. "He escaped his owner and joined the rebellion about the same time Tobias did."
Thinking about the human and his friend Roe made her stomach clench. She had no idea if they were dead or alive, or if they would ever get out of the Den now. She wouldn't know until they were too far away to do anything about it.
Eclipse shifted onto her side, shoving the thoughts away. They'll get out. Tobias is clever, he'll find a way.
In all the rushing and fighting, Eclipse had forgotten to really focus on what was happening. They were escaping. Leaving the Scorpion Den alive. Doing what few dragons had ever managed to do before. They were going to be free.
She smiled slightly at the thought, then glanced back at Sunspot mischievously, flicking her sharply over the back of the head with her tail.
"That's for getting us caught in the first place, you crazy wyvern," she said with a small laugh.

This got a little intense. So I put it in spoilers. Just in case. But I have a plan. And I have character arcs and growth in the making.

We have yet to show the brutality of The Scorpion Den. We say these humans are terrible- and the dragons have endured terrible things. But they are ruthless. Even to each other. And I believe that will come into play as the story continues.

*Reallllyyyy long exhale.*

Tobias began to get into the swing of things, firing a round, replacing the clip, firing a round, replacing the clip- he glanced at the car, too far ahead too see much but the back end of the vehicle.
Lost in the blaring, steady rhythm, he only stopped when he realized the noise had finally died down. Actually- The Maze seemed to go absolutely silent.
He pushed himself up against the wall, silently waiting.
"Tobias." Ferrin called, his voice painfully drawling, "Drop your gun and come out."
Tobias froze, swallowing hard. Very slowly, very tensely, he kicked his gun into the hall.
"Come out." Ferrin ordered.
Tobias' brow furrowed, thoroughly confused, his hands shaking with adrenaline as he reached for the second machine gun beside him.
"Tobias-"
"Come out now, or he kills the girl." Someone shouted, and Tobias leaned his head against the wall, breathing heavily, fists clenched.
Ferrin, you traitor.
"You wouldn't." Tobias said, loud enough to be heard.
"You are right." Ferrin murmered dryly. "But he would."
There was a sudden scuffle and Tobias bit his lip, lifting his hands and stumbling into the hall.
A tall, blond haired man held Roe in his arms, as she struggled, trying to free herself from his grip. He gave Tobias a cool smirk, reaching up to stroke Roe's hair with a small handgun.
"Good boy." Kidd sneered, pointing the gun against Roe's head.
He pulled the trigger.
Tobias jerked his gaze away.
"No!" Ferrin shouted, "Nono, stop, Raee, stop."
Stomach flipping, flipping, flipping, Tobias swallowed bile.
"Look at me, Tobe." Kidd ordered.
Tobias hesitated.
"Look at me!"
He tilted his head, blinking and swallowing hard as he met Kidd's gaze.
Kidd shot his chest, and Tobias fell to his knees.
Ferrin shouted again, and there was another small scuffle as Ferrin wrestled the weapon from Raee's grip- but Tobias was too focused on Roe. She didn't move. She didn't breath.
"Oh my, God." Tobias whispered.
