Aloe looks at Autumn, he was embarrassed and nervous "n-no, i-it's
my fault, I-I should have known you don't like being touched
without permission, I-I'm sorry" Aloe talks telepathically to Star
gazer ["well umm, follow your heart. And umm you will find someone,
I promise. Oh moons, I'm not very good with advice, sorry!"]
Lotus notices Blackberry's sad expression. She walks to her "oh
sweetie, come here" Lotus hugs Blackberry "everything will be okay"
Toucan wrapped his wings around Blackberry.
Toucan’s red color faded back to his normal colors. Blackberry
slowly stopped crying, though she still had a sad look on her face,
remembering what happened last time something like that
happened. She put a hand over her blind eye.
Frostbite: *Frostbite looked around and decided to fly
back to the beach, wanting to ask Stargazer something. He thought
about using his magic to make it take less time.* If I enchant
something to transport me to the beach, it'll be a lot faster than
flying back for two or three days. … *He picks up a chunk of ice
laying in the snow and flies off with it as Wolf approaches him
quickly.*
Wolf: Hey!*She glares at her brother as he flies
off.*
Wolf: Ugh, he's going to see that NightWing without
saying goodbye. Moonlicking crocodile… *She picks up Iceberg and
walks back to her house.*
Frostbite: *Once he was some distance away from the Ice
Kingdom, he held the chunk of ice in front of himself.* I enchant
this piece of ice to transport me back to the beach where I
previously was. The one with Stargazer on it. *He flickers out of
the sky… and right on top of Stargazer.*
Stargazer: Agh!She collapses under the older dragon's
weight, and Nightmare turns to look at Frostbite in confusion.
Autumn nearly falls over in surprise as well.*
Autumn, jumping back: What in the name of Clearsight?!
Stingray
Stingray:*Stingray panics once he realizes that Axolotl
isn't in her room. Just as he's about to tell her mother Salmon, he
notices a small piece of scroll on her bed and picks it up, reading
it aloud.* "I went out to explore for a bit. If I don't come
back within a few hours, assume I fell asleep somewhere. Love you!
-Axolotl" …Oh, I thought I clearly told her not to sneak
out!
The dragonet looked away from Cryo after she heard the noise.
"Frostbi- Did you follow me? I haven't seen you and you've gotten
here impossibly fast..."
"What offering from the void could usurp the gift of life
already given? This place, right here! Is where we are meant to
be."
Aloe jumps as he saw Frostbite appear "What the-" Aloe faints and
falls on Autumn on accident
Hummingbird gets mad at frostbite,her scales turn black "who are
you?! You just scared my cousin!" Hummingbird glares at Frostbite
"what is wrong with you?!" Hummingbird has calmed down for a
bit,she looks at Snowstroller "who are you?"
Lotus sighs and looks at Autumn "Hummingbird can be a bit too
overprotective for Aloe,she is his older cousin. And if you're
wondering how.Hummingbird is a rainwing and leafwing hybrid"
Frostbite:*Frostbite manages to stand up, rubbing sand
out of his eyes.* Huh? Oh, s-sorry. That was a stupid idea, I'm
not doing that again… *He mumbles, more to himself than to the
others. Stargazer locks eyes with him and he blushes.* I… I
have something to tell you.
Stargazer: Me too… Um, I hatched under three full moons,
and… *They both take a deep breath and talk over each other,
which Nightmare giggles at.*
Stargazer and Frostbite: I'm an animus dragon. Wait,
what?
Frostbite: You're an animus, too? *He stands up
straighter, now knowing that Blizzard's hunch about Stargazer being
an animus was right.* I knew it! …Well, I
suspected it.
Stargazer: Yeah, I, uh, inherited it from my mother.
You?
Frostbite: Pure chance, I think. Queen Diamond was one of my
ancestors, but that was a long time ago… *Frostbite notices the
silver scales behind Star's eyes, which are no longer covered up
and are a lot more noticable from up close.* Wait, can you-
Stargazer: Yes. *She drops her voice to a whisper.* I can
read minds and have visions. Please don't tell anyone. I don't want
to cause any necessary stress. I knew you were an animus. I didn't
want to tell you I could read minds because I was worried you
wouldn't trust me.
Frostbite: Well, it's impressive that you kept multiple
secrets this long. *He winks at her, and she blushes a bit.*
Hummingbird was still overprotective for Aloe "hey! You didn't
answer my question! Who are you?! You scared my cousin!" She asked
Frostbite,she continues to glare at him.and her scales were still
black
Aloe wakes up and noticed that he fainted on Autumn, he gets up and
picks her up "I'm so sorry!" Aloe noticed that Hummingbird was
getting overprotective for him "please, calm down! I'm fine!"
Snowstroller walked up to the two with interest in her eyes.
"Animus? I... I'm too! I... I'm sorry for hiding it for so long...
But now that you two told each other, I thought I would also. I
apoligize if that was out of topic."
"What offering from the void could usurp the gift of life
already given? This place, right here! Is where we are meant to
be."
Blackberry watched as the whole thing happened, she and Toucan
laughed a bit as the two spoke at the same time.
“Wait, what is an Animus?” Blackberry asked, Toucan sighed. “You’ll
learn soon.” He said. Blackberry was confused about what he meant,
but decided not to mention it. Toucan suddenly walked over to
Frostbite, “who are you?” Toucan asked.
Frostbite, to Toucan: My name is Frostbite, nice to meet
you. *He turns to Hummingbird.* And it's nice to meet
you, too. *He said with a hint of sarcasm that made
Stargazer giggle. He turned back to the NightWing with an
expression of uneasiness and took a deep breath.* Stargazer… Do
you want to go out sometime?
Stargazer:*She blushed and stared at Frostbite for a few
moments, unsure how to respond. She looks at Nightmare, and he
gives her a thumbs up of encouragement as Autumn giggles
excitedly.* …Uh, s-sure! Sure.
Frostbite, still blushing: Wait, really? Uh, I-I mean- I'm
glad you've accepted my offer.
Hummingbird starts breathing angrily "He. DIDN'T. ANSWER. MY.
QUESTION!" Hummingbird's scales were still black,she tries to
charge at Frostbite, but Aloe stops her
Aloe tries to calm down Hummingbird "Cousin, I'm fine really! No
need to be overprotective!"
Lotus sighs again,she looks at Autumn "should we go somewhere else?
I see that Hummingbird is getting WAY too overprotective for Aloe"
The dragonet looked at Frostbite and Stargazer once again. "Hey,
are you going to... React to me?" She frowned, expecting the two to
be more talkative when it came to her claim.
"What offering from the void could usurp the gift of life
already given? This place, right here! Is where we are meant to
be."
Frostbite, to Snowstroller: S-sorry, I got distracted. I
honestly had a hunch you were an animus based off of your…
appearance.
Stargazer: What does he mean, based off of- *She looks
closer at Snowstroller and realizes that she looks uncannily
similar to Darkstalker. She steps back in surprise, not scared of
Snowy, but surprised she didn't notices her appearance that much
before.* Oh.
Stargazer, to Snowstroller: …D-did you mean me? I wasn't
trying to ignore you, I'm sorry.
Autumn:*Autumn backs away slightly from Hummingbird,
worrying that she might try to use her venom if she gets frustrated
enough. She looks at Lotus and Aloe with a slightly uneasy
expression.* Um, sure? We can do that…
Nightmare: I need to rest. I'd do that here, but… *He
gestures at himself, emphasizing his size compared to the others
before walking off to find a nice place to lie down.*
Aloe blushed "I-I would love to walk with you Autumn!"
Lotus smiles.she starts walking towards the forest and points her
tail at the direction to the forest, signaling Aloe and Autumn to
follow
Alle follows his mother
Sage wakes up and gets confused by all the dragons in the beach, he
starts walking to them "Hello, I'm sage, I'm Aloe's father. Aloe is
a leafwing,seawing,nightwing tribrid"
*Autumn smiles and follows Aloe on a walk. Gentle rain starts
falling on the beach, and Stargazer spreads her wings to enjoy it.
Frostbite runs under a tree to avoid getting wet, which Star
giggles at.*
Stargazer: Frostbite, you're not seriously afraid of getting
wet, are you? Ice is just frozen water.
Frostbite: I am not! I'd just rather not get struck
by lightning if it turns into a storm.
