Wings of Fire ~The RP: The Three Continents

"See ya. We should meet again, maybe a few days at noon in this spot?"
Deepstar walked swiftly to the edge of the ocean, the tide reaching her talons and splashing them with cool ocean water. “Yes…I’ll come.” She responded, then bid both Abyss and Gohachiro goodbye before diving into the ocean.
Koi was in the deep palace with Kalmar and Atlantis. News had just reached them that the rainforest was on fire.
 
Koi was in the deep palace with Kalmar and Atlantis. News had just reached them that the rainforest was on fire.
Atlantis had been making sure Queen Koi was doing alright when a messenger came to tell them the news. Atlantis looked worried, he knew Deepstar had flown off in that direction and his fatherly side was overreacting. “ No, Deepstar wouldn’t trap herself in a burning rainforest, calm down. Still…” He thought.
“Ehem, Queen Koi. may I be excused for the time being? I have something to attend to.” He said, his voice laced with respect.

"Okay. But come back when you're done" The queen said.
 
Atlantis bowed low, then swam swiftly to the surface and unfurled his wings as he erupted into the sky from within the ocean, headed toward the rainforest.
Kalmar watched him go and politely excused himself from the room he and Koi had been in. He followed Atlantis, wanting to speak with him, but the dragon left rather quickly. Kalmar followed his SeaWing friend, realizing he was flying in the direction of the rainforest, "Oi! Atlantis! Brother, where are you going?"
 
Somewhere behind them all, at the far end of the tunnel opening up into the rainforest came a booming, thunderous sound. Clouds began to gather from all directions, turning a dark smoke black. A rainstorm was due.

( @Blue Raptor should Atlantis put the fires out with a storm or should we wait for Owl to say no to helping, which I’m assuming she would? )
I’d say stretch the story a bit and wait for Owl to say yes or no. If yes, you can fix the problem before they arrive. ;)
(Has someone already asked Owl if the IceWings would help?)
No, not yet.
 
Brightscales swallowed, watching the NightWing queen land.

Blackflower landed. She noticed the Rain/Night hybrid in front of her and knew that it was her sister. She pushed a smile. “Hello, sisters.” She said pleasantly. She nodded. “Queen Brightscales.”
The RainWing queen sat with her jaw hanging. “Y- Your Blackflower!” She shook the green out of her ruff. “Don’t get all official on me, your my sister!” She ran over and hugged the Night/Rain hybrid.
Blackflower looked slightly shocked. “Ho- ah, yes, I am!” Her heart raced. She wasn't used to affection, aspecially not from a sister. She glanced over at Reva and mouthed ‘Thank you’ before looking down at Brightscales. “You needed sanctuary, right? I heard the Rainforest’s on fire. What are you planning on doing about it?”
Brightscales looked up. “We’re going to the kingdom of Ice to see if Queen Owl will lent us some IceWings to put out the fires. Are you going to come with us?”
Blackflower shook her head. “No. I have to stay here. I’m going to have a lot more on my talons with these RainWings here now.”
Reva studied Blackflower. The sisters had done better than she had expected. Something colorful caught her eye and she jerked her head up. A light green RainWing approached, dried blood streaming down it's chest. It struggled to fly, one of it's wings nearly shredded. Reva exhaled slowly as the dragon landed roughly in front of her. "B-Brightscales," he turned, then faced Blackflower, "Bright- ugh, which one of you is..." He squinted, comparing the sisters. "Try the colorful one." Reva suggested. The dragon turned to the real Brightscales, shaking his head, "The IceWing's... I tried to get in but they- uh, they ATTACKED me!" Reva rolled her eyes, coming up alongside BlackFlower, "That was a messanger we sent out to alert Queen Owl before we left. Should have figured he didn't know what he was doing."

“The Scorpion Den, already said that.” Raptor grumbled. “It’s a place notorious for rouges and assassins for hire. It became more of a sanctuary when old Queen Thorn and Qibli took over, then Queen Sunny, but after her rule, the Den’s only gone back to what it was. There’s no changing it. Except for the hybrids.”
Leif lumbered on behind her, "Where are we going?"
 
(Oh boy.)


Cyprus landed at the forest edge and trotted in, taking in a keen observation of his surroundings. All clear. He took a few flaps upward and glided through the canopy. The understory was generally too thick to get anywhere fast.

Cicada opened her eyes. “Ah, yeah! It’s a-“ she looked down at the plant’s tendrils wrapped around her talons. “- a sundew. A really really big sundew. Ohhh, boy.”
She tried to lift her right talon, but the plant seemed to pull towards itself. “Ehhggh..” Cicada groaned as her claws stuck together messily. “I HATE being sticky.” She moaned.
“You- I- no, wait, don’t..” She stammered, watching helplessly as a vine slowly reached for her hind legs. It pulled at her foot, and she slipped backwards. “OW!” She cried, her back hitting the tree branch with a thump before she slipped down and plummeted towards the ground.
The hapless HiveWing squeezed her eyes shut, sure that she was going to hit the forest floor, but nothing happened.
Instead, she looked awkwardly up to find her limbs tangled in the vines of the plant that was pulling her up. “Oh my gosh, my stomach feels weird.” She groaned. Looking at her talons as the blood rushed to her head, she slid out a stinger and messily managed to cut her right talon free.
Now she was dangling sideways. She lifted her wings to try and fly away from the sundew, but only two moved.
She looked back up. “Dang it!” She shouted angrily, seeing her left two wings stuck on more vines.

Cicada lifted her hanging head and opened her eyes. How long has she been here? Twenty minutes?
She glanced back at her body. Her talons were pinned to her sides, one at a very awkward angle which was hurting. Actually all her scales were hurting. They stung, oddly enough.
She couldn’t get free though. She was just trying to concentrate on hearing another dragon. Hopefully one that could get her free without getting stuck themselves.
She probably couldn’t even fly off if she WAS free. Her wings stuck together like honey sticks to.. well- anything, really.
The HiveWing groaned. Should she yell for help? Her mind was swimming. Probably not? No one would hear her, right? No.
Cyprus skillfully sped down into the understory. he was nearing home and the forest was a little less thick down here. If he had kept going through the canopy, the tangled lantana and strangler fig vines would've prevented him from reaching the ground.
He swung around a corner, landed on a large branch, and launched himself into the air, gliding downward. Suddenly he whizzed past a bold patch of black and yellow amidst the green. That didn't seem right. He whirled around and was surprised to see a Hivewing of all things being pulled up by the sundew for a meal.
He glared at the other dragon.
"What are YOU doing here?" He asked.
