Of Feathers And Flames- A Wings of Fire AU RP

[_-Captain BRM-_]

Rose wanted to lie down and pour the water all over herself, extinguish any fire left inside her. She hated using it, not only because it hurt immensely.
“A-as ssoon as the i-ice cryst-”
She tried talking before going into a coughing fit, blood spattered the floor as she coughed the last time. “I’m ok. Just burned r-raw. As soon as the ice c-crystals melt, put i-it out.”

Helios slowed himself, doubt welling up inside him like a consuming fire. What if I’m not ready to see him again? Eclipse said he’s been through a lot, what if he’s not ready to see me?
One part of him was something he’d let never willingly let anyone see. The scared part. The part where he was terrified of losing his son all over again.

The mountains neared and dragons from the first shipment were congregated around the base of them. All different colors and shapes and sizes, a few red scales caught his eyes but he didn’t see a Solarwing anywhere. Then a deep, crimson red dragon finally caught his eye. He was sitting in a cave on a terrace of rock just above the other dragons, looking down at Helios.
It was Sol.
Helios’s breath caught in his throat, their eyes locked and suddenly the world seemed so unsure, like the very next step could make or break the future.
Finally, after a tense moment, Helios lifted into the air and flew up to the cave entrance, landing gently upon the rock formation. He stared at his son in disbelief, his expression turning into a sad kind of unsure smile. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing would come out, instead he took a deep shuddering inhale and again,
Helios tried to talk. Finally he managed to speak, but his naturally deep and rumbling voice was lost, instead his words came out in soft, tear filled whispers.
“Sol I…I’m so, so sorry.” He said slowly, tears now streaming down his face. “I tried- I tried to protect you…but I failed. I failed you as a king and a father.” He whispered, the tears rolling down his face and neck and mixing with the bloodied bandages around his chest. But the salty tears felt like nothing compared to the agony of the silence.

Sol dipped his head with a respectful air, trying to hide a small grin. Maybe they should hug- or maybe it was too soon. Heck, Helios was crying, a hug was definitely appropriate. Or.. or was it?
"Hello, Helios." He said in a quite tone, his smile vanishing. Memories flared in his mind- memories of his father and sister. And mother. But she wasn't near as prominent of a parental figure as Helios seemed to be. Though Sol could remember general scenes from his life, no emotions accompanied the empty, silent memories.
Sol eyes wandered to sweat stained, stretched bandages. "Are you hurt?"

"You arre not okay." Fracture growled, turning her attention begrudgingly to Tobias. The ice had melted back, reduced to dripping, bloodied water. Tobias still leaned against Gables, sucking in sharp breaths as he gazed at the ceiling.
Fracture moved to pour water over the smoldering wound, but Tobias jerked back, Gables holding him tight. Tobias' raw, bloodied fingers twitched, and Fracture let loose a relieved sigh, pouring water over his forearm with gentle precision. Tobias let loose a broken shudder as bubbling steam hissed, his lips flushed blue, and his head sagged against Gables neck. Gables gave Fracture a relieved glance.
"Help Rose, help Rose." He urged, pulling himself out from under Tobias. "I'll take care of this, get her water!"
Fracture offered the dragon a couple bottles, the smell of burning flesh so disgustingly prominent, she felt her stomach heave.

Nah, nah, it's Sparrow for me, dog.

Your RainWing could be on the transport with Taber and Kiwi's characters. Or he could still me hiding in The Maze, maybe meet up with Tobe and the crew when they try to escape.

Ok


Citrus was tired of hiding in the Maze. He was bored, wished there was something he could do, something important maybe.

Is tobe yours @_-Captain BRM-_ ?

Tobias is Tobe. Yes. But he's being killedededed rn... Actually, maybe you could find Whitestar and Austin and whoever, they are in The Maze still, too, but they aren't part of the rebellion, so not in jail like my crew. So, that's Taber, Harmony, and Yukiko.

King chuckled, pausing to watch her and smiling warmly at the two of them. She was so pure and innocent with Knight. “Hey you’re great with dragonets!”

Osprey watched King as he looked back at the two starry dragons. With Knight, this plan might just work. With the power of the moon and sun on our side we won’t fail. Even King Helios will agree. He thought with a smile.


Knight smiled and started gnawing on one of Phoenix’s horns, drooling all over it and making happy sounds.

(YO. CONSPIRING.)

Phoenix grinned at King, catching the small dragonet as his rear legs slipped sideways, resettling him between her horns.

(Sorry guys, okay, I should probably note that I have church from 7:00-9:30 Pacific Daylight Time on Tuesday so I sign off early, like 4:30 or 5, and usually am not back till 10 or later)

Welcome to the RP @Little Baby Bean! Have you read the archives for it yet? They help a lot with tribe stuff. If you ever have any questions about the history of the tribes and stuff, feel free to ask.


Eclipse took a deep breath, finally allowing herself to relax as she finished wrapping the bandage around her own arm. Most of the other dragons were lying in their places around the edges of the transport, asleep or murmuring quietly to each other in trios or pairs. Eclipse had received many more curious or sometimes suspicious and skeptical glances from them, ever since the chase on the hard path. It seemed like every dragon was fully aware of her presence now, and she felt exposed, trapped in such a small space with such a large group of strange dragons.
She glanced around, spotting Bloodmoon curled close to the back, not far from where the injured human was. Eclipse's eyes widened slowly as she saw Shard lying nearby, lift her head, and scoot a few inches closer to the Nightwing. For a moment, she simply watched the Icewing dragonet repeat the process once, then twice, slowly getting closer to the sleeping dark-red dragon.
Eclipse suppressed a chuckle and swept her gaze around the transport again, her eyes stopping when she noticed a large Leafwing watching her.
Or... maybe partly Leafwing, guessing from the color. Eclipse couldn't tell. Possibly a hybrid?
She caught the dragoness watching her and briefly fixed her with a penetrating stare before sweeping her tail around and standing up, pacing across the transport to where Sunspot was lying.
Eclipse slid exhausted to the floor a few feet from the Solarwing, letting out a long sigh and dropping her head onto her talons, her wings drooping and resting tiredly on the ground.
Something was troubling the golden dragoness, Eclipse could tell, but she didn't know if she had the energy at that moment to try and ask her. Undoubtedly, Sunspot wouldn't just open up and tell her, and there was a chance Eclipse would have to deflect a stinging retort or two. Perhaps a shallower conversation would be more acceptable.
But then again, Eclipse recalled their first time working together in the desert. Sunspot was about as awkward at small talk as Eclipse was, and sometimes, the silence was more comfortable. But maybe it was worth a shot.
"So what are you going to do when we finally finish this," she said quietly, readjusting her head slightly to look at Sunspot. "Where are you going to go? I mean, you don't really seem like much of the tribal kind, but now Helios asked you personally to rejoin the Kingdom. Are you gonna go with him or..."
There it was. That trailing off awkwardness. Eclipse hoped Sunspot didn't pick up on it too much.

@-Kiwi- @Little Baby Bean

Sunspot didn’t answer at first, staring off into space. She spotted Eclipse watching her and shifted awkwardly. “Oh. You were talking to me.”

“Um. I’m not sure what I want to do. You’re right, tribe life isn’t for me. I don’t think. I’m not sure anymore. But… my old life seems boring compared to this. I don’t know. It probably sounds stupid.” She looked away, flipping her tail over her snout.

Crest began regaining his consciousness and shifted slightly. He felt wind on his head but couldn't feel the wind anywhere else. He shifted a little more and he clenched his teeth in pain. Whatever she gave me, it's worn off by now. He pushed off the tarps on him and opened his eyes, bright light flooding in them. But, it wasn't the unnatural light from the Scorpion Den. The sun's warmth made it to his scales and he sighed in relief. They'd actually done it. They'd broken out. He looked around the transport he was in to see many dragons lying on the floor. Some looked severely injured and others only slightly. Silver scales caught his eye and he looked over towards the lunarwing he'd heard called Eclipse. She seemed to be using her strange ability to help heal the injured dragons.
I wonder if she could help me... He shook his head, quickly regretting the decision. I doubt the ability could heal me. My injuries are too extensive.
Looking up, he saw the fiery figure of King Helios soaring gracefully above their transport. I've got to talk to him when I have the chance....
Looking around some more, he saw another dark brown dragon. His jaw dropped a little as the dragon was blowing fire on a human who seemed to be severely injured. Next to her was a bag and Crest could make out several containers and herbs. Now she looks like a medic. Straining to stand, he lifted himself from underneath the tarps and slowly started to make his way over to them. He paused as he saw their faces and realized that the situation was more important than his at the moment and walked closer to them but only to observe. His legs shook slightly underneath him and his wing shot out to brace him.
He shook himself and stood taller. He was tired of being useless. Crest walked up to the brown dragon, "Pardon me, but is there anything that I can do to help? I just want to see if I can be of any assistance. If not, I can go back to resting."

Um, Eliza, Tobe, and Rose and them are in jail in the SD rn, they're not on the truck.
Eclipse, Sunspot, and Bloodmoon are on the last transport, which has been delayed and is a couple hours behind everyone else cause they had to take a back route. Crest is on the transport with Helios, one of the later ones, but not the last one.
