Of Feathers And Flames- A Wings of Fire AU RP

[Blue Raptor]

For the most part. I'll ask if something is confusing

For the most part, there’s a very large group of dragons escaping from the Scorpion Den (oh btw, everything is modern-day and humans took over the SD. They use NightWings as dragon-hunters for the arenas) and trying to escape on transport trucks towards the mountains:

Sol stared back for a few seconds, holding tight to the defiant glint in his eye, them dropping his gaze.
"The SeaWing made it bawl, I just... I think I started it."
"No one was offensive." Tobias interrupted. "Well. Nothing really offensive." The man gave Sol a pointed look. "I think she's tired, Eclipse. And I think there's a lot that's happened to her these past few days. Lots of changes."

Crest felt so bad now that the dragonet was sobbing over by Eclipse. He hadn't meant for Shard to cry over it. He just wanted to help. Guess you failed to help, AGAIN.
Crest's mood shifted now and he felt like being alone. But, he couldn't be alone. Not with all these dragons in here.
"The SeaWing made it bawl, I just... I think I started it." Sol said. Crest's head shot his way and he couldn't believe what he'd just heard. The prince is blaming ME? I was trying to help the dragon. He was going to terrify her! Tobias' words put him a little more at ease, but some of the anger remained.
A thought struck him. The way he'd felt when Sol just called him, "The SeaWing". Was that the way he'd made Sunspot feel? Maybe she didn't just overreact. He looked over at her sleeping form and sighed as he walked passed the prince and towards the edge of the transport. He decided to just keep quiet so he didn't say anything else he would regret later. Things were so much simpler in the Sea Kingdom. He thought, lying down next to some other dragons trying to catch a nap.

Eclipse glanced between Crest, Sol, and Tobias skeptically for a second before bending her head down to Shard again, running her talon once over the dragonet's icicle-like spikes.
"Just try to get some rest for now," she murmured to the Icewing, readjusting so that Shard could snuggle against her chest. "We can talk about it later, if you want."
Eclipse laid her head on the metal floor, still holding Shard as the Icewing pressed into her scales, her breathing easing as she began to regain control of her sobs. The Lunarwing wasn't exactly sure how to handle the situation. She had no experience with dragonets and other dragons' emotions made her uncomfortable. Maybe while Shard slept she could think up something.
She glanced at Crest who was just lying down at the back of the transport and then toward Sol, still concerned about what they could have possibly said to make Shard so upset.

Austin didn't even look at the icewing, just walked right passed him. His usual cocky grin was nowhere to be seen. Complete seriousness and concentration made up his expression and he continued down the hall glancing back only once to make sure people were following him. He was getting lost in his own thoughts and was relying purely on instinct to get them out of the Maze. He took a left, then a right, then another right, and another left.

Alyssia followed closely behind Austin, her eyes moving from where they were going, to the dragons behind them, to Austin, and then repeated the process all over again. She would always spend a little longer on Austin, trying to read him and figure out what exactly was going on in that brain of his. Do I even want to know what goes on in that sick mind? She would question everything he did. She wasn't going to fall for any of his tricks this time.

Austin noticed Alyssia's eyes continuously falling on him, but he tried to ignore them. He knew that she was trying to figure out whether he was tricking them or not. Surprisingly this time, he wasn't. It was in both of their interests to get out of the Maze. None of them wanted to be captured and killed...or worse.
Finally, they made it to the entrance to the Maze and daylight hit them. Climbing the staircase to get out, he saw soldiers lined up in their ranks and preparing to enter the Maze.
"Hey! Who are you?!" One of the leaders came up to them and pointed a gun in their direction, thus signaling to his troops to also point their guns. Austin threw his hands up in the surrender position and hoped that Alyssia and the dragons caught what he was doing.
"Please, I'm Sir Jack Sutherland and this is my fiancé and my dragons." He looked around for the soldier that they'd encountered earlier. "We were down there and I talked to one of your men. See Jasmine here went down there looking for something and then the rest of us ran in after her but then the rebellion broke out and we didn't know what to do." He hoped his story checked out with them. If not, they were in big trouble.

Alyssia could see the doubt on the commander's face and so she stepped forward, choking on fake tears. "Please sir please! I didn't mean to. I didn't know that there was going to be a big rebellion thing! Just please let us go."
Austin tried to hide a smile at the way she acted. She must've taken some theatre classes or something. Alyssia turned and looked at Austin with a smile and looked back at the commander. "If it wasn't for him! I would probably be dead by now!" Finally, she managed to get a fake tear to fall.

Alyssia almost threw up with the way she was talking. She hated it, but she had to. All those theatre classes are paying off. She thought, slightly surprised at the way she was able to act the part. Austin walked over to her and she had to use all the strength in her very being not to pull away. He put his arm around her and pulled her in close to him. "It's ok, sweetheart. It's not your fault."

Austin began stroking her hair in a loving way and looked at the commander. He could feel Alyssia squirming slightly from the uncomfortableness of the situation, but he had to sell this. He knew she was probably going to yell at him afterwards for this, but if they were going to play the part, she was going to have to deal with this. "Now look what you've done. You've gone and made her cry. Your boss will hear from me."
The commander's doubtful face filled with fear for a split second but then changed to a more annoyed look. "Fine fine!" he said waving them away. "Just get out of here and let us do our jobs."

"Thank you, sir," Austin replied walking away with his arm still around Alyssia and waving the dragons to follow.
They made their way into streets and Alyssia immediately pulled away from Austin as soon as they were out of earshot and slapped him hard on the arm. "Never touch me like that again!" And, she marched a few paces farther ahead of everyone to be alone.

Whitestar picked up the pace, sliding between Austin and Alyssia, pushing the hunter away slightly in the process.
"We have to hurry," he hissed, ducking his head dow to their levels. "The longer we are in the Den, the more of a risk we run of being discovered."
He turned his head toward Austin.
"Where would they keep the Lunarwings?"
A thought struck him halfway through the question and he interrupted before Austin could reply.
"Do you think they got out during the breakout?"

Sol played it off, laying down beside Tobias. They began to converse in hushed tones, a obvious exhaustion hinting in both the human's and dragon's eyes.

Cas, who was sitting near Sol, caught Eclipse’s eyes and shrugged dramatically in a ‘I don’t know! manner.

@_-Captain BRM-_ Maybe him and Kal can strike up a convo.

Or maybe we could ARRIVE AT THE FLIPPING CHECKPOINT.

AGH, I KNOW, I'm sorry. I am just trying so hard to get Whitestar caught up but he's like, almost 2 days behind and I am kinda stalling with Eclipse and them and I feel a little bad for dragging Lydia's characters all over the place

Well...


That...
Happens...






....


When you don't keep up with the RP and haven't steadily written for 2 months.
And I in no way mean that to be rude, but-.. maybe it's time to move on until Lydia has the time to join.


But okay, cool, I'm good waiting.
