Wings of Unity

Chapter 5- Hyena

I am so terribly sorry everyone, ig I forgot to mention Hyena is an Sand-Night hybrid

Crystal's scales started to fade to pale orange when she heard it. She looked behind her and saw there was a dragon. To her relief not an Icewing. The dragon was a Sandwing, she had darker scales then a normal Sandwing but she had the tail barb, so it was unlikely that she was a hybrid.

She was pretty small for a Sandwing, she had a silver necklace, two earrings in each ear, a dangling one and a small gold circle one, she had on many bracelets too. She didn't look like any dragon in the scorpion den, so she must have been royalty of some sort. She looked perfect, not a single scar anywhere except a torn wing that had caused her fall.

"Three moons are you alright?" Crystal gasped looking at the Sandwing.

The Sandwing turned to look at her

"Does it look like I'm alright to you?" The Sandwing asked, sarcastically. She paused for a second to look at Crystal, still disguised as an Icewing.

"Three moons you're an Icewing! Please let me go, I have no idea how I got here." The Sandwing pleaded.

"Woah woah woah, I'm not an Icewing-" Crystal turned her scales back to their normal colors "See? Not an Icewing, no need to fear. I'm actually escaping and trying to find my friends right now"

"Oh, umm okay. Can I come with you? I have no one else right now as you can probably tell" the Sandwing mumbled.

Crystal thought about it for a minute, the Sandwing looked desperate, but she could also be another kingdom's spy. But she could also be as ordinary as any dragon, Crystal debated with herself for a few seconds.

"Alright," she finally answered, "I need help finding my friend anyway, I could use the company."

The Sandwing perked up and smiled.

"I never got your name by the way, I'm Hyena." She said as they were getting ready to fly.

"I'm Crystal. Now c'mon, let's go find my friend." She said

Galaxy bounded past the guards with her camouflaged. The icy floor seeped mercilessly into her talons. Her immunity was very low. She tripped over a guard's spear and he yelled. She quickly spat black venom at him and it fizzed and burned until he dropped. He shrieked and got all the IceWings on alarm. "Great," Galaxy grumbled to herself, "He couldn't've just died quietly instead of risking my life."

She kept running afraid for her life. She ran to the corner hallway and suddenly crashed into another dragon.

"Galaxy?..."

Galaxy spun around, teeth bared to shoot venom if needed.

"Galaxy! Oh my gosh there you are!" Crystal exclaimed, running to hug her friend.

"Crystal! Three moons you scared the living daylights out of me!" She replied, embracing her friend "who's this?" She asked, pointing to Hyena. "Wait, hang on I've seen you before..." Galaxy said as Crystal started to speak.

"Yes, you freed me earlier if I'm not mistaken," Hyena interrupted as if she didn't want her to say something. "I'm Hyena, thanks for freeing me."

Galaxy shot a look at Crystal that basically said are you insane?! Trusting some random dragon? Why?

Crystal replied to her look out loud "She fell behind me as I was trying to find you, she has a torn wing and needs medical attention as soon as possible."

Galaxy shot a glance over at Hyena, Hyena didn't really care or look very concerned that they might leave her.

"Whatever, let's just go," Galaxy snapped. "I found Darkstars"

Galaxy foresaw something bad happening with Hyena, though it was blurry. Ugh, she thought, even her name sounds untrustworthy.

She watched Hyena giving her suspicious glances. She was a lanky, slightly small dragon for a SandWing. This was slightly strange to Galaxy.

Slowly they crept through the frigid hallway floors. Suddenly a horrid voice creaked in the shadows.

"Where do you think YOU'RE going?"

Crystal, and Galaxy froze and were knocked out.
