[some 5 years ago]


*somewhere near a volcanic island, two dragons sat within a cave panting*

???Rainwing: well.... What now?

???nightwing: for now....we hide. The nightwings will hunt us down if they know we're still alive.

???Rainwing: then we might as well make it look like it.

???nightwing: how? What can we use?

???Rainwing: *motions to some brilliantly crimson plants* I recall seeing that plant a few times back home. We used it to lay claim to fruit trees in case of emergencies... a lot of us thought it looked like dragon blood.

???nightwing: very well.... You're the expert.

???Rainwing: how good are you at playing dead?


[someplace else in the present]

*Canda and the dragonets had brought the missing trio to a network of caves once held by scavengers. The small constructs around them the last remnants of the former inhabitants that fled many years ago*

Canda: well... welcome to our humble home.

Snake: humble my-

Zero: *scolding* Snake!

Snake: what? I was going to say "stinger."

Zero: oh, that's ok then....

Ocelot: hm. *he stretches out his wings a bit* to little open space.

Blackice: that's what's keeping us safe though.

Ocelot: I know.

Red: hm....*he looks around* just wish I could empty out some of the floors here...

Blackice: uh, remember what happened when you did that to one of them?

Red: I'll be careful next time.

Duna: what happened the last time?

Ocelot: he brought down several of the scavenger dwellings in one minute.

Duna: oh...

Snake: *laughing a little* then Blackice kicked his tail up and down the rows of dens!

Duna: *somewhat concerned* are you ok?

Red: I'll live.

*Sparrow walks over, being careful of the old dwellings*

Canda: how are our other two guest?

Sparrow: they're starting to wake up.

Canda: *relieved* good.

Kamome: "other 2"?

Canda: seawing healers that worked with the talons... rather young if I might say.

Maple: could be-

Kamome: take us to them please.

Canda: right this way. *she leads them off*

Duna: hm?

Kamome: Duna, stay with the dragonets. *she walks off with Maple, Canda, and Sparrow*
