*On a beach far from the war, three dragons stood preparing to flee*

Seawing: no. I will not doom either of you to-

Silkwing: I'm not giving you the choice, it's either one of us or all.

Seawing: what of our daughter, huh?! What of her say in this?!

*The daughter in question just sits worried for both her parents*

Seawing: you think I'm going to do that to her! Have her go through life down a parent!?

Silkwing: .... I will never understand you sometimes.... you could command armies, you had to watch your own die in battle.... you chose me for what ever reason, so why are you refusing to leave with Duna!?

Seawing: fighting isn't about who wins! It's about those left standing, the dragonets of those under my command will know that their loved ones helped protect them and the rest of the kingdom! I worked hard to make sure I tried to get everyone home alive, so I refuse to leave you behind as I had to do too so many!

*a low buzzing sounds not to far away, the wingbeats of a hivewing army*

Silkwing: ....... get ready....... you can pull a line of silk with me holding on......

Seawing: .... *She picks up the daughter and looks at her* we'll make it.

Duna: mom.... I'm not a dragonet anymore...

Seawing: I don't want you killing.

*The Silkwing ties thick strands of webbing around the seawing*

???: DON'T MOVE!

*The former skywing leader lands fallowed by the hivewings as the family escapes with their lives*

Hivewings: THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!

Skywing: they won't for long. I'll have my son hunt them down.

Hivewings: good.... Good!

*The skywing grins to himself*

Hivewings: he can hunt beyond the hives! *The hivewings all take off* FIND HIM! BRING HIM TO THIS BEACH FOR HIS MISSION!


[the cave, somewhere across the sea]


*The dragonets sat side by side in the meeting cave*

Drift: hm.

Canda: ...

Sparrow: *nervous* here we go...

Snake: *thinking* that's two-thirds nervous.

Zero: *thinking* Morrowseer doesn't sound so tough. I bet I can take him! I'll do it! I'll crack his neck if it means I can keep them safe!

Ocelot: *thinking* what would they do? Would Snake just up and sting him? Would Zero try and rip his windpipe out? Would Blackice even try? .... you know what, Red would indeed try and gut him where he stands if he so much as tried to move against us.

Blackice: *thinking* sure hope they don't do anything to crazy...

Red: *thinking* I'll hold him off, so long as the others can get out of here alive....and mom......and uncle Sparrow.... *Quick thoughts of disgust* not Drift.... maybe I could convince him that my attack was Drift's idea.... *rubs his head* ....... ow.....

*a large nightwing walks into the cave and looks down on everyone in the cave*

Canda: *somewhat distasteful* Morrowseer, you're late.
