Of Feathers And Flames- A Wings of Fire AU RP

Whitestar's heart was pounding as he sprinted down the maze-like halls after Austin and Alyssia.
Their adventure in the Scorpion Den had come and begun so quickly, he was still reeling from it. He had almost been certain when they were entering the city the first time that the plan would fail and they would all be torn to pieces. He didn't think he could ever forget the look in the guard Nightwing's eyes when Alyssia froze up, the obsidian black dragon pacing forward, his eyes fixed particularly on Whitestar. The hunter had been nearly twice his size, and Whitestar wasn't sure if the hatred was directed at him as a possible intruder or as an Icewing.
But somehow they had made it through. Whitestar could practically feel the Nigthwing's gaze burning into his scales as he passed, and couldn't shake the feeling all the way through the Den until he was safe behind the walls of Alyssia's room
He hadn't even had time to fully wrap his mind around the fact they had successfully broken into the Scorpion Den when suddenly they were back on the streets and in the halls.
He remembered nearly pouncing on Austin when he had finally shown Alyssia the true reason for helping them sneak in, and it was only the approaching humans that had stopped him. He could tell that Blackout felt the same, but they were both forced to contain themselves.
And then the fights started.
Whitestar had recognized one of the dragons that had fought, particularly, the one fight where Alyssia could no longer bear to watch. The huge Solarwing, fighting the deranged Seawing.
He recognized him from an old lesson on the tribes, and it disgusted him that the humans would actually bring royalty into this place and put them down to such an animalistic level. The desire to blast frost breath over the heads of the creatures every time they screamed in delight at the blood and violence was almost uncontainable, and through most of the fights, thick, icy mist was swirling out the sides of Whitestars snout.
But Alyssia had managed to convince Austin to make them stop, and before he knew it, they were out in the Den again.
And then they reached the courtyard.
Whitestar instantly recognized it from the vision he had seen in the tidepool. And as they passed, he slowed his pace as much as he could without completely stopping, raking his gaze over each of the cages, desperately searching for the familiar silver scales. A Skywing or two, a Sandwing, a Cloudwing, and a Solarwing. He remembered painstakingly glancing between each one, over and over, just in case the unbearable heat from the sun was making him hallucinate. But there was no Lunarwing among them.
And now suddenly they were here, in this neverending labyrinth of doors and walls, running from the sound of roars and screams and the deafening thundering of human weapons always firing. The noise echoed confusingly off every surface, making it seem as if they were surrounded by an invisible war, and every now and then, he saw glimpses of blood, or humans, or a flash of scales.
And of course, the bodies.
Humans and dragons. Most of the scavengers were wearing the same or similar uniforms as the guards at the city entrances, but others were more randomized and more personal. There were dragons from all sorts of tribes sprawled on the floor, some of them twisted in horrific ways as if they'd died horribly and suddenly. A few were followed by a thick trail of blood and lay there as if they'd simply given up. Others were completely unrecognizable.
Whitestar skidded on the slick ground as Austin suddenly turned into one of the lots, ordering the others in. He quickly leapt through the heavy iron door, glancing over his shoulder as it shut, Alyssia being the last one through. He was certain he saw a flash of scales a millisecond before the door shut.
Whitestar stood panting in the large room, glancing around. There were a pair of cages against one wall, but they were opened and empty. Aside from those two things, the room was completely empty. He tried running the past few hours through his mind, hoping to think of some sort of plan as to what to do next.
A pointless endeavor, as Austin was already ordering him and Blackout to head back out into the maze-like hallways to find out what was happening. Whitestar growled quietly as he followed the self-righteous dragon hunter back out into the labyrinth.
The chaos had finally died down, though the sounds of hustle and struggle could still occasionally in more distant parts of the maze.

Whitestar waited a moment, watching Austin sharply as he closed the door to the room. He glanced briefly at Blackout before whipping his tail around and flicking the human across the back of the head, not hard enough to knock him out or really effect his focus, but enough for it to hurt.
"I should have figured," he growled, more icy mist curling from his snout. "Why else would you want to help us? Nothing about you makes you any less a part of the Scorpion Den than you were before we met you. You shouldn't have tricked Alyssia like that--she doesn't know better, and she really wanted to trust you. That was a low stunt you pulled."
Oh ho ho, they should run into Ferrin and the gang on their way to esszaca-payyy 😈😈

Daaaang!!! You pulled that off well! Though, I died laughing at the end because I was NOT expecting Whitestar to do that XD


Austin closed the door behind him and told Alyssia, Bamboo, and Apple to stay inside. He turned around and immediately regretted his decision to take these two dragons. Pain erupted on the back of his head and his eyes blacked out for a second. He grabbed the wall and steadied himself as his sight returned. Looking up, he saw Whitestar, a look of disgust on his face.
"I should have figured. Why else would you want to help us? Nothing about you makes you any less a part of the Scorpion Den than you were before we met you." The icy words stung and Austin pushed the thoughts aside. He glared at the icy beast, allowing a grin to spread across his face. The dragon continued, "You shouldn't have tricked Alyssia like that--she doesn't know better, and she really wanted to trust you. That was a low stunt you pulled."
The words hung in his mind. He had felt slightly bad about what he had done. He had kept pushing away the guilt of what he was doing, just saying that he had to, but now this ice dragon was bringing those emotions back. His grin remained on his face as he replied, "Now, now, Whitestar. I'm sure we can agree that we would've all done the same thing if we were captured by our enemies. You would've manipulated just the same as I did if you were captured here in the Scorpion Den in order to escape. I was just simply using my resources to escape my captors and enemies. Alyssia unfortunately had to be one of them."
Austin gave a quick glance at Blackout, knowing that what he said probably infuriated the black dragon. He started down the now deserted hall ridden with bodies, his mind now focused on what was happening. In the distance he heard the sound of trucks driving away. They must've gotten some dragons out somehow! I never thought that a bunch of dragons could actually pull that off. Thought, they had some help from some traitorous humans I'm sure. He saw more and more bodies and began to check some of the humans he saw for pulses. Glancing back at the others he tried to justify himself. "Plus! I'm still technically being nice to you. I could turn you in, but I'm helping you find your dragon buddies. I'm not being totally unreasonable now am I?"
 
“Well, grumpy-face over there would rather drop dead than get treated,” Sunspot said, flicking a wing in the direction of the LeafWing she had spoken to. The dark green-brown dragon was laying down a little ways away, not looking at them. Occasionally he sighed, ear flicking.
Eclipse sighed.
"Check the others, I'll try to talk to him,"
She paced carefully toward the Leafwing, hoping that he would see her so that she didn't startle him.
"You should probably see that is treated," she said as she came closer. "It looks like there's a chance it is already getting infected, and it could kill you if you leave it alone."

@-Kiwi- idk if you wanna rp the Leafwing...

Ack ok I’m sorry for being pushy I didn’t mean it in a rude way

Sunspot wandered off with a flick of her wings in search of more injured dragons, blinking in the flickering transport light.

Deadnettle eyed the approaching LunarWing. “I don’t want any humans touching me,” he growled, tail swishing across the floor. “Doesn’t look like you’re quite medical qualified, either. It’s fine.”

"No humans, and no, it's not fine," Eclipse stood in front of him, her shoulders looped back confidentially.
"It's just one wound, but it's a serious one, and I may not be a medic, but I'm probably the best you're gonna get for now."
