Chapter 14
"So?" QuiverWing was not getting what he was saying.
"It means that your old flock new the secret and there is only one flock of chameleon dragons who knew it but I can't remember were they had there territory" Scorch explained. QuiverWing just nodded only getting half of what he said. She looked out of the entrance and saw the warm couler of orange from dusk. "We should get to sleep" she suggested to Scorch.
"Yes we've been up since early" he agreed.
"Wait how's the cloud slasher?" QuiverWing asked.
"She's fine now, she heald up nicely" he reported.
"Well let's go then" she stretched and yawned.
"Meet you there I'm gona get some dinner first, but stay awake she may need you" he nodded his head at Tusile. She walked over to Cheker, "if you need anything just come over to my sleepingchamber" she spoke softly.
"Right" he kept his gave at his daughter.
She slowly walked to her sleeping chamber and layed on her moss bed. She didn't rest her head as she knew that she would fall asleep, she just stared at the moss thinking. 'What is this blue gas about? Scorch said that my old flock, that we do not remember anything about, was the only flock that knows the secret to it. Of only I can figure out how to breathe fire then Tusile wouldn't be burnt right now' she was thinking about the accident for a while. She heard claws scrape against the stone in the short tunnel that leads to her and Scorches sleeping chamber. Scorches head popped around the corner, "you actually managed to stay awake, you look tired" he looked impressed.
"You told me to stay awake" she objected.
"Most healers get a sneaky nap when they are told to stay awake" he mentioned.
"Well I can sleep now, can't I?" QuiverWing joked.
"Yes I'll stay awake just in case she needs me" he sat down on his moss bed cleaning his bones. She rested her head and fell asleep immediately. QuiverWing didn't dream that night only peaceful sleep and comfortable warmth. She awoke in the middle of the night to Scorch cuddling up to her and she wrapped her arms around him. "Sorry did I wake you?" He whispered softly in her ear.
"Yeah but I'm fine" she whispered back. They cuddled into each other gathering warmth, "is it getting colder lately?" QuiverWing complained.
"Yeah I think it's turning into winter" he spoke, "let's sleep I'm exhausted". They both giggled quietly and fell right back to sleep.
She blinked her eyes as they felt well rested and hugged Scorch in tighter that morning. She felt him nuzzle her chest, "you seem to like to nuzzle my chest" her voice sounded soft and dry like she needs a drink. He just chuckled and sat up to make eye contact, "Scorch, QuiverWing I nee- umm" they both snapped there attention to the entrance of the cave as they saw Chaker. "Ummm... did I walk in on something..." he twitched his tail awkwardly. QuiverWing said the first thing that she could think of, "chameleon dragons cuddle up to there siblings and Scorch is the closest thing to that" she saw a small relief lift from Chaker. "Anyway I need your help I gave Tusile the poppy petals and she is still in pain" he turned around and you could hear his claws thump back to the herb station. "Nice save but that kinda rounds cuddling if it's true" he joked then walked out to help and she followed.
QuiverWing saw Tusile holding back tears on her moss bed and Chaker comforting her. Scorch walked out the entrance and she saw that the pot with the poppy petals were empty. "Scorch will be back soon just hold on" she explained the delay.
"Is there anything else you can give her?" Chaker asked desperately. QuiverWing gave it a thought while looking at the herbs available and noticed the bugberrys, she felt really calm to the point that pain couldn't upset her. "Did you give her the bugberrys?" QuiverWing asked.
"No she isn't restless" he responded, "why?"
"It could calm her into tricking her brain that the pain isn't as bad as it is" she explained giving her 4. Tusile ate them and in the matter of of 10 minutes she calmed down and QuiverWing was wondering were Scorch is. She saw an ice thang and asked her to get Scorch, she nodded and headed out. "She looks better now, it worked" Chaker did a sigh of relief.
QuiverWing got the buttercup petles and vine sheets ready for when Scorch got back. Anuther 5 minutes past and QuiverWing was wondering were Scorch is, "I'll be back" she said, flexed her scales and walked through the exit. She walked through the path that leads to the garden, and saw the ice thangs foot prints. She arrived at the garden and saw that no-one is there, 'what how can they not be here. I have to snif around for them now huh' she complained to herself. QuiverWing began to snif around and she only smelled Scorch and the ice thang. 'Where are they?' she thought frustrated, she then heard something russel in the bushes. She looked up, double checking that her scales are invisible, seeing armored dragons with changes and dart glow guns. QuiverWing looked a little closer and saw a past out ice thang and Scorch.
QuiverWing didn't think too much and pounced at them and her nose hit melt hard. "Waow what was that?" A deep voice called. 'They can't see me it's perfect' she thought slyly, she then slashed her claws across the exposed part of one of there snouts. The one that she hit roared and covered his nose and the other just laughed 'he probably thinks he hit his node on a branch' QuiverWing amused. She them waked her tail with as much strength as she could get on the gard that is laughing on his side. QuiverWing heard the armor dent and then she saw that she crushed it right into his ribs. "Raa what in Yutar can do that" he cried.
"Something is here" the other declared. They both began to swing there claws with steel attachments at any suspicious movement, that is no were near her. QuiverWing rolled her eyes at then and pushed one right of the tree, he landed with thump and she saw him struggle to get to his feet. She them heard something swish through the air and saw that the one with the dented armor was inches from her face.
QuiverWing stayed calm and checked once again that her scales are invisible. She then dived down using her wings to flip the gard of the tree and on his back. QuiverWing the grabbed the chains and flew out of the jungle and up the hill to get away from them as fast as possible. Once she got there she layed them both down gently and untied dmthe chains to release them and she chucked them aside. She kept her scales invisible and waited for the tranquilizer to wear of, she then saw Scorch twitch his tail. It was around 15 minutes of waiting and they were still asleep then Scorch open his eyes looking very confused. She saw he tried to stand up but feel back down, "easy Scorch I'm not sure what they have in there tranquilizer so I suggest sitting still" she suggested forgetting that her scales are invisible.
"What? QuiverWing?" Scorch sounded like he's tied but different.
"Yes just sit still" she advised.
"Right" he then rested his head and closed his eyes and she heard the calming whistle. She waited a little longer and the ice thang began to wake, "what? what happened?" she asked with the strange tied voice. She then feel asleep exactly the Scorch did. QuiverWing yawned with boredom and she fiddled her tail to try to pass the time. QuiverWing heard the roa of Wrath and she signalled with with the same rao. He landed almost on top of her and she relaxed her scales to show were she is. "What happened here?" Wrath demanded.
"Petles gards happened, don't worry I've lost them" she reported.
"The reports on the patrols say that they have been patrolling, we now have a distince sent since we have been living together so they can tell who is in our... flock?" Wrath explained.
"They couldn't see me so I used it to my advantage" she mentioned.
"We need to take them back to the cave" Wrath ordered. He grabbed Scorch and she took the ice thang, they flew stealthily and she flexed her scales to go invisible. Once they made it to the cave they pot both of them in the herb station, she stayed there for the rest of the day and was healing Tusile. She felt very tied when night fell, Scorch began to wake up properly and they headed to the pry center. She just had fish that night and they went to bed cuddled, "so is cuddling still rouond?" QuiverWing joked.
"No it's perfectly fine" he then rested his head on her shoulder.
