Elemental Powers: Fire and Water

Burning bridges

[Third person POV]

"Who wants a underground potato for dinner?" Marsh nibbled the edge of one and giggled.

"Aren't potatoes all underground? And is that potato infused with laughing gas?"

Crash.

Rocks blew up and scattered down all sides of the cave a few hitting a sleeping Sky on the head. She stirred a little but didn't wake up

"Damn, Marsh." Snapped Ash, pushing his friend over.

"Nein! Ich bin unschuldig!"Marsh yelled back. Ash rolled his eyes and set the pile of twigs which were rested on the rocks.  

[What Marsh said means "No, I'm innocent" for my fellow non-German speakers]

"SHUT. UP!" Coral basically screamed.

Everyone jumped out of their scales and looked at her like she was a ghost.

"I'M DONE WITH ALL OF YOU! YOU ALL ARE A BUNCH OF LIES. AND YOU-" She shrieked, pointing at Marsh, "ARE A TWO-FACED DRAGON.'

Marsh blinked. [Be ready for the signature Coral screaming]

"Mitä?" Blackberry sighed. She knew where it was going. She had to explain to Coral, everything that happened. She knew Marsh regretted what he had done. 

["What?" In Finnish]

"SPEAK ENGLISH! Or inglés. I DON'T CARE! YOU- YOU KILLED-"

"YES!" Marsh growled back, shifting his wings defensively, his eye twitch. "I killed Hydroblasts."

"NOT ANY HYDROBLAST! NOT ANY DROP OF THE WATER! YOU KILLED MY PARENTS! AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A 'WATER SAVIOUR'? LIES!"

At this point, Coral was far past the point of mild anger, it went straight to rage.

"YOU-" She shot at Ash, who yelped and Amber growled, her golden scales heating up and glowing with bright blue fire, "ARE A SOLARFLARE. DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY THIS? I DON'T KNOW WHY I SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED YOU. WE WOULDN'T HAVE EVER GOTTEN INTO THIS MESS IF IT WERN'T FOR YOUR STUPID SPECIES!"

Windstorm stepped up to try and stop the volcano from erupting. "Coral, we would have gotten caught anyways!"

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! YES, MAYBE THEY DID SAVE US FROM THE SOLARFLARES ONCE, BUT NOW WE ACTUALLY GOT INTO THE SOLARFLARE KINGDOM!"

Leo flicked his tail awkwardly, trying to edge out of the conversation. He obviously blamed himself for the incident.

Coral let out a maniacal laugh and continued, "YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! YOU WILL SEE WHEN ITS TOO LATE."

With that, she turned soared right out of the cave.

An awkward silence.

"她搞错了。她真的搞错了。" Marsh sighed and poked his head out of the cliff, breaking the tension along the way.

[He said "She's messed up. She's really messed up"]

Blackberry stared at him intensely. "You didn't know, did you?"

"Nope." He muttered. "I'd rather not talk about this.

Blackberry huffed softly and flew out to try and reason with Coral.

[Coral's POV]

I flew through the ocean of air, feeling the world pass beneath me. Why haven't I ever seen it before? This explained the darkness which crossed Marsh's face the first time we talked about Fry, and the strange burst of familiarity which was plastered briefly on his snout when we met.

The clouds rumbled again, and from the foggy figure flapping back towards the island with the cave, I darted quickly into the water, knowing that if I found a current to lead me back, maybe I could get back faster and-

Why did I care about them? This group was a lie. My alliance was a lie. These dragons probably would backstab me and my family. I probably put Blackberry and Windstorm in more danger than they were in previously.

I'm going back to Flare. He may be psychotic, but at least he tells the truth. At least he's convincing Hydroblasts that fire wasn't too bad.

Something that also traveled through my mind was that my exit out of the cave seemed pretty anti-climatic.

[Third person POV]

Everyone was thinking about trying to chase them back, but Winter and Ash were talking about moving to another hiding place.

"And I was just getting cosy here." Ash sighed and flicked an ember onto Sky's tail. Sky yelped and sat up, stretched and yawned loudly.

"Ah." She looked blearily around the room. "Marsh is crying, and Coral is missing. What a great day."

"Yea."

[Marsh will be back to normal in the next chapter don't get mad :>]
