last post...)
Egret jerked awake just as Swamp was about to get hit by a spear.
She realised she had just been dreaming. Bright star was asleep on
his bed, and it looked suspiciously like Iceberg was watching him
with one eye open. She sighed and settled down to sleep for the
remaining few hours of night.
Tree Frog woke up, blinking at the night. "Oh.. Jade Mountain.. I'm
supposed to be there.." He looked around, then took off into the
night, having fallen asleep facing the direction Jade Mountain
would be found. " I'll just fly the rest of the night and reach
there by dawn! " He smiled, anticipating the thought of meeting all
the other tribes.
Egret noticed that Iceberg was leaving the room. She didn't want to
be alone in the same room as Brightstar, so she slunk out after
him. She followed him to the underground river. He was apparently
going for a swim. But then something caught her eye. There was a
pool of MUD! Egret noisily bounded over to it and sunk in to it.
Ah.. that felt good. It helped the wounds from Brightstar's attack.
"AARRGH! WHO'S THERE?" Egret
yelled. She saw that it was Iceberg. "Oh, It's only you" She said dropping her
voice to a whisper as she realised that she had been rather
loud. "What was that for? I didn't
sneak up on you." She hopped out. "I just didn't feel comfortable being alone in the
sleeping cave with a violent dragon"
Rose heard the yelling and wakes up and goes to the door of the
cave "can you two shut up dragons are trying to sleep hear"she said
going back to the cave and falling asleep in the corner again
Tree Frog saw the mountain growing nearer. He stretched his lean
body and legs, then yawned, fatigue starting to overcome him. "If I
don't Do we off.. Mnph... I should be there by-" He yawned again.
"Mnyah, first light.."
---Time Hop to next morning---
Tsunami strode down the hall yelling "Everybody wake up! Jump in
the river and then up to the Prey hall for breakfast! Further
instructions will be issued then! Everybody wake up! Jump in the
river and then up to the Prey hall for breakfast! Further
instructions will be issued then!"
Swamp woke up quickly and went to find Egret. He found her sleeping
in the cavern and nudged her to wake her up. "Come on, time to wake
up, then we go to the river for a swim, and then we'll have
breakfast!
Egret looked up at Swamp. "Wha- but I already-" she stopped
herself. Better not go shouting about how she and Iceberg were out
of bed in the middle of the night. She followed him to the river
but quickly showed him the mud pool. "I saw that -uh- yesterday
afternoon. We can wash off in the river afterwards so that Tsunami
doesn't notice."
Tree Frog landed, his light body barely making a sound when it got
to the landing area of the mountain. He didn't see anybody waiting
for him, so he only assumed he was late. Trotting inside the cave
entrance at the top of the mountain, he looked around, hearing
yelling but seeing nobody. He turned towards the yelling, starting
towards the yelling.
Icebergs eyes popped has he yawned and stood up and said "just 10
more mins". He thought i do feel lonely at times. Iceberg walked
into a diffrent room. He stopped has magic covered him. He said
"there". A voice entred he's head and said 'hello there'. The voice
added 'go have breakfast'. iceberg said "Fine."
(the voice is in hes head so others cant hear thr voice but they
can hear iceberg talking back)
Tree Frog blinked, then turned, telling when he saw the dragon, who
had come from a cave behind him. "O-oh! Hi, I'm Tree Frog! Just..
Call me Frog. It's less of a mouthful." He smiled, his scales
shimmering with joy at the idea of meeting a new dragon.
"Preycenter? But.. Don't you eat fruit?" He looked shocked for a
moment, his scales turning yellow-green, the green mixed in with
the excitement of meeting a new dragon, even if she was a RainWing
like him.
