Chapter 12
"What time of day if it?" QuiverWing asked.
"Evening" he replied, "well we should help with the pry center"
"Yes we should" she then walked towards the tunnel that lead to the pry center. She released that there is now beeswax lanterns hanging from the ceiling all around the tunnels. She walked in and saw a large firepit in the middle for cooking, a corner were ice can keep pry frozen and barrels to store all different kinds of pry and fruits. She saw cloud slashers organising the barrels and when the alfa saw her he walked, "I believe we haven't met" he had a friendly tone. "I'm Needle, you are?" he asked.
"QuiverWing nice to meet you" she could still fill the effects of the bugberrys.
"You can get the pry from the main cave" it sounded as if he was ordering but yet asking. QuiverWing just nodded and headed to the large pile, she stood up on her hingh legs and picked up as much as she could carry.
She had to tred lightly as to not drop any of them. She then reached for the barrels and separated the fish from the cows and separated the lams from the lizards. She repeated that until it was done, she then put extra fish and cow barrel in the frozen corner. QuiverWing heard Wrath call a meeting in the main cave and trotted on all fours. She arrived with everyone else and Wrath began to speak, "we have cleaned and organised all the rooms. We now have a completed training cave, sleeping chambers are now complete but there are only 15 of them and 33 of us so far. Luckily they are big enough for 5-8 dragons to share, you all have a room but you can sleep on the ledges if you wish the chambers ate there for personal belongings." He finished.
"So who is sharing with who?" one of the ice thangs asked.
"I was planning that you can choose, for now 3 dragons will share 3 of the chambers and 2 dragons will share 12 of the chambers" he declared. "But we still have little work on the pry center and we haven't started on the other 2 large caves that are too big to be sleeping chambers." He explained.
"So what are we going to use them for?" Scorch asked tilting his head.
"I was thinking the one with a streem running down to the lack outside would be a spar room as some dragons are stresst and I think it would be the perfect room. As it is a little distant from the other rooms, but what do you all think?" Wrath waited for an answer. Almost all of the dragons agreed and the once who didn't wast still thinking about until they also agreed. "Perfect, now the other room is widely open and is deep down meaning you have to glide to the bottom. I'm not too sure what we could use it for so I'm letting you all decide." He then tapped his wings together ending the meeting. QuiverWing heard everyone start talking immediately and she turned to Scorch, "so what do you think?" she asked.
"Umm maby a space to stretch out wings when dragons haven't flown in a while" he suggested.
"I like that idea" the cloud slasher who she attack spoke, "my name is Slayer and from the conversation you had with my alfa I known that you're QuiverWing" he gave a goofy smile.
"So I think it can be a place to fly around but I can tell that soon it will turn into a race track and the waterfall in this cave seems to be perfectly fine" QuiverWing noted.
Slayer nodded "true so what do you think it should be used for?".
"Maby it could be a library as it is big enough and plenty of room for a school or teaching area for the hatchlings" QuiverWing suggested. Scorch and Slayer nodded as if impressed of her idea, Slayer then went to his flock telling them of her idea. After a good hour Wrath stood on his rock that overlooked all the dragons in the main cave. "So what are we thinking, Needle you seemed to be talking to a lot of dragons" he observed.
"I got a school for hatchlings or have it mixed with a library, a place to practice spells, a storedge room for everything and a place for dragons to stretch there wings" Needle listed.
"Any other suggestions those are good ones though" Wrath waited and everyone was silent, "so I guess we'll sleep on it and we can vote on it tomorrow for now choose your sleeping chamber" he taped his wings dismissing everyone for the night.
"So do you want to share a sleeping chamber with me?" QuiverWing asked Scorch.
"Yeah but the question is are we having it together or having another dragon to share with?" he mentioned. She just shrugged.
"Who knows but I guess we should look for one then" QuiverWing said.
"Huhum I was thinking, since that you two are the healers you can have the one closes to the entrance" Wrath told them.
"Thanks see you tomorrow then" QuiverWing thanked him. They walked to the sleeping chamber closes to the entrance, right next to the ledges. There was a pile of moss in the back corner and 2 large chests for storage. "Hey, I think we should have our own beds" Scorch said in a hushed tone.
"Why?" QuiverWing asked but keeping the hushed tone.
"It's just that every dragon thinks that the original sky keepers and all changes dragons are related" he said bitting his bottom jaw.
"I'm sorry we are what?" she doesn't know if she should be discusseded or annoyed.
"It's not true but the myth got out due to how similar our eyes are but my old king did an old spell, I'm not sure if dragons today know it, and I'm no were near close to related to any chameleon dragon" he explained himself.
"Good at least we are not related" she sighed.
"Yep but convincing a fact that has stuck to everyone for centuries is not gona be easy so lets keep our relationship a secret" Scorch fiddled with his claws.
"Yeah it's probably for the best" she bumped her nose on his knowing that no-one can see them. He started to pull out moss and dry it out, she decided to to make her own bed making it perfect. Scorch put his in the middle and she put hers up on the back wall, she pat it down and got comfy. She saw Scorch walk towards her and then lay down cuddled up to her, she wrapped her wing around him and tucked her head in. They feel asleep like that and she woke up the next morning to Scorch trying to get out of her cuddle to start the day. "Morning" she purred,
"Sorry did I wake you?" he bumped his nose on hers.
"Kinda but do you need to start the day so quickly?" she rolled over onto her back, stretching put her back. She felt Scorch cuddle into her and his bones felt warm then she wrapped her arms around him.
Scorch jumped onto his own bed and she rolled back on her belly as they heard claws scrape on the small hallway to there tunnel. Wraths head popped out of the shadows, "morning, we're gona need your help" he sounded like he was trying to keep calm.
"What happened?" Scorch asked getting up.
"The cloud slashers got attacked when they were out patrolling and now they are badly hurt" he immediately flicked his tail and ran to the herb station. QuiverWing and Scorch dashed as well and she saw 3 injured cloud slashers, one had a deep cut on her neck. Scorch didn't wast time and grabbed the cobwebs and tended to the one with the slashed neck, "patch up the others" he ordered QuiverWing. She grabbed the other ball of cobwebs and rested them on the scratches and bit marks of the others, she remembered what Scorch toughy her and grabbed dandelions and squeezed the juice on the cobwebs. She knows that the juice has an effect that helps dragons heal quicker and prevent infection.
She then gave both of them sunflower seeds as they have minerals that help heal scales a lot quicker as well. She gave them 4 each. Once she was done she saw Scorch was done with healing the cut on her throat, "need any help with her?" QuiverWing asked.
"No I got it, you could tend to the garden just around the corner of the entrance" Scorch was consecrated on healing the cloud slasher. QuiverWing left flexing her scales, making her invisible, she then went left following Scorches fading sent. She found it hidden in a canyon of trees but plenty of sunlight and shade, she saw a watering can next to the river. QuiverWing filled it up and watered each plant to the way Scorch had tought her, she then pulled weeds and added fertiliser to help them grow. After doing the routine she was tought to she then headed back making sure her scales were camouflaged. She entered the main cave, relaxing her scales, and saw thay Scorch made a recovery bed out of moss for the cloud slasher.
