Of Feathers And Flames- A Wings of Fire AU RP

[-Kiwi-]

(uuuuhhhhh, idk, could he help carry them to Possibility? Ajax might have enough left in him to help Vel, idk though, if Ali were awake he could probably come up with something )

Vel searched his expression for a moment, then let her eyes unapologetic roll as she turned back to the others.
She took a few steps towards Ajax, then tipped her head to the side. "I do not understand how you plan to survive through the desert with no supplies. I'm also afraid I cannot tell what plants are good for eating or not. It seems a risky business through trial and error." She turned back towards the newcomers. "I don't know if you understand plants- but, if any of this foliage is edible, and you know it... eat you're fill and be kind enough to extend your knowledge towards us."
Vel dipped her head again, then returned to the thicket beside Ajax, dragging Alicanto from the weeds by his shoulder. Sand was pasted to the wound. She dropped him beside the water.

Arya leaned forward. “Cactus fruits,” she said. Cochineal nodded.

Poor Cochineal. He was so out of his element here. And the RainWing was being unnecessarily rude. Arya wished she could help more.

“Um, there are a few species of cactus out here with edible fruits. I could go collect some if you wish,” Cochineal suggested, swishing his long tail across the sand.

A pained, shuddery breath broke the otherwise shallow rising and falling of Alicanto's chest. He let out a breathy, barely audible groan as his body slid over the rough, stony ground. He could hear voices again, still distant and almost nonexistent to him, and he tried to shift his head slightly once the movement stopped, albeit, barely successfully.

"Woah." Vel glanced up, blinking as her eyes struggled to focus, her perception incredibly off. "I- I can pay you. Back at- Possibility? I have money. If you help us, I swear to reward you."
She was earnest and sincere, an eager edge in her tone.
Alicanto stiffened, and Vel placed a gentle talon on his shoulder, too distracted by hope to realize she was trying to comfort him.

Cochineal blinked, thrown off by the RainWing’s change of tone.

“No,” he said eventually. “No payment necessary.”

He noted that the RainWing’s talon rested on Alicanto’s shoulder. Cochineal had never spoken to the fierce CloudWing, but he didn’t seem all that warm and cuddly. If anything he would’ve expected the RainWing to fear him.

"Tell me what to do, then. I'll help in any way."
Vel's talon slipped from Alicanto's shoulder, her gaze locked on the new dragon with sincere hope.

I'm loving this whole convo.

What should we do with the truck gang?

 

[-Shade-]

if we RP them arriving at Possibility, I've calculated that they will arrive before Vel and the boys. So we have to RP their part before Vel, Ali, Ajax, Conchineal, and Arya arrive at the second checkpoint.
At the same time, there is a small chance I am stalling to try and catch up Whitestar

 

[-Shade-]

Whitestar was only half listening anxiously to the chittering between the two humans, his ears perked in the direction of the door.
The sound of blaring alarms could be heard faintly across the Den and Whitestar's nerves were still on edge from the flight back to the room, every little noise making his head swivel.
He glanced back at Alyssia and Austin, shifting anxiously at the looks that kept crossing the hunters face as Alyssia read the papers he'd brought back. Blood stained the small files and the human's shoulder was still slick with the thick liquid.
I should heal him, the Icewing thought, looking away. Why don't I just do it? I did it for Alyssia.
But Alyssia was also dying, Austin is fine. For the most part.
But he's still hurt.
But he used her.
And helped us in the end anyway.
Whitestar let out a low growl as his thoughts tussled mercilessly through his mind, his shifting becoming more agitated the longer he sat there listening, thinking.
"Whitestar,"
He jumped, his head snapping around at Austin's voice.
"Eclipse was bought by the one named Tobias. He was a part of the rebellion so I'm assuming that she got out with him."
Whitestar felt his shoulders droop with relief, his wings brushing the ground.
She escaped.
He let out a long breath, feeling as if he had been holding it for days.
She's safe.
Three moons, she's safe.
"We need to leave like now."
Whitestar looked down at the human and gaze a firm nod, glancing back up at the other dragons. HIs gaze settled on Blackout.
"I know you want to find the other Lunarwing, but I don't think it's safe. We might be able to come back for her, but for now, we have to leave."
