Eternity of Pain (FINISHED)

Chapter 14: Miracles

 "Hey!" River bounded towards Wind again, her orange talons and turquoise claws pounding against the tree branches of a ridiculously large hydra tree. SkyWind still didn't catch how they knew each other, even after three sunrises. She and Solar were eating an also ridiculously large berry, though it was more like the cat tearing up the fruit in– what – several thousand claw strikes and squirting juice everywhere. Solar's tail was flicking here and there, enjoying the open forest canopy. The sunlight went straight through the silly hole, and more filtered through the clear leaves of the trees around the small open sky hut.

"No you don't!" Wind reared up and caught River's claws in his talons. They are such mirror reflections, SkyWind though grumply.

"Hey!" MyrriCall yelped. The Ancient stepped back and examined his tail, which was suddenly draped in blue poison. "Seriously!" he exclaimed. "Keep your tails to yourselves!"

"Never!" PoisonStream dropped into a hunter's crouch, snaking forward on her talons.

"Never!" PoisonFlight repeated the roar. The CyaniClaw leapt forward and snagged his claws on MyrriCall's spines. The royal dragon snapped at Wind's spines. PoisonStream twirled into both of them, and the three dragons jostled their way out of the tumble. River and Wind reared up and flared their hoods. SkyWind could see the poison in their hoods, golden orange in Flight's and turquoise cyan in Stream's.

"Stop!" SkyWind yelled. She felt the attention of every dragon fall on her. "We have more important things to be doing right now than playing dragonet games!"

"Even though this SunFlight is a dragonet," CoralCharge interrupted. "She is right. We do have more important things to talk about and do about than family relationships."

"Hey!" LeafBloom stuck his head through the roof. Seriously, who has a house with a ridiculously large hole in the roof!? "We need help with Mr. CyaniFlare."

"EmeraldFlare?" CoralCharge stood up and shook out his wings. "What happened?"

"Um. . ." LeafBloom shuffled nervously. "He's setting some dragons and plants on fire. . . and we have a limited supply of water plant dragons. . . since. . . most of them joined the Lileiivy group." The HydraVine finished quickly.

"Seriously?" CoralCharge muttered under his breath. "He needs to learn how to control the flames on his spines." He walked to LeafBloom and flared his wings, showing the loud sunset scales. "Take me to him. And you four," CoralCharge pointed at Skywind, River, PoisonFlight, and MyrriCall. "Better not mess things up."

"I doubt I will mess things up," MyrriCall laughed. "But I think your CyaniClaws will." He flicked his tail away from Solar, who was pouncing and trying to bite through the tough dragon scales.

"No, I will!" River stood up on her hind legs, swaying her body side to side in a mesmerizing pattern. PoisonStream's eyes dilated, the pupils barely visible against the poisonous cyan iris.

"Definitely not!" PoisonFlight reared up and hissed a jet of golden poison. River ducked and shot her own cyan danger. The shots of deadly liquid sizzled on the walls of the hut.

"Ah!" MyrriCall scrambled up the hut and through the hole. "Seriously? This is exactly what CoralCharge told us not to do!"

"Ah, Mr. Rule Breaker." PoisonStream picked up Solar in her front talons. "What about your forbidden love?" The CyaniClaw petted the Clawth, who purred steadily through the serpent dragon's talons.

"What?" SkyWind almost hit her head on the wall as she leapt up. "Seriously? You do that in this war?! Are you mad?!" SkyWind shook her head angrily, trying to get the mud out of her head. "What were you thinking?"

"You didn't have to mention that," MyrriCall snarled at River. "I told you to keep it a secret. I-" MyrriCall was interrupted by PoisonFlight who strolled in between the two dragons, and did a weird dance.

"Really?" SkyWind sighed and watched River and Wind dart in around each other, taking poison shots at the walls and catching each other with the snaky body. SkyWind watched MyrriCall drag himself to the other side of the wood hut and collapse in exhaustion. The tall, hydra trees of the Hydnorum forest swayed in the breeze. Solar leapt among the dragon talons and meowed, its tail swaying softly in the afternoon light.

"Hello!" CoralCharge came back in, with a very disappointed EmeraldFlare. The scarlet CyaniClaw narrowed his eyes at the sizzling poison on the walls. "Did you seriously not hear what I said a second ago?!"

"Nope!" PoisonStream said cheerfully. The Aurae leapt up and her talons landed on CoralCharge. The red Primal shrieked as the orange serpent bit hard on her tail. Behind them, Wind was charging towards them, fangs bared.

"Ah!" CoralCharge screeched as River leapt off, her tail lightly touching the dragon's scales, only to be replaced by PoisonFlight. "SERIOUSLY!?"

Well, that went well.

"Stop!" SkyWind screamed, though nobody paid attention. MyrriCall was screeching curses while Solar bit on the Ancient's tail. CoralCharge was scampering around, with several bite marks on his tail and quite some amount of poison on his scales. The two twin CyaniClaws were chasing the red dragon, hissing and shooting poison arrows. EmeraldFlare was throwing little pebbles covered with poison, which are rocketing off the walls and onto CoralCharge, PoisonStream, PoisonFlight, and MyrriCall, in which unfortunately, only two have the immunity.

Now what? Seriously is a tiny part of it.

"Ow!" SkyWind whirled around to see LeafBloom rubbing his tail nervously. Some orange poison leaked from it. "Um. . . what exactly?"

SkyWind exchanged glances with MyrriCall. The royal dragon had poison all over his tail. The Ancient shook his head.

Wow. Who knew that Primals can accelerate that fast.

Suddenly, a howl shook the poison covered hut. Every dragons' head shot up. SkyWind drew in a curt breath. The sound was of Ixtal, the leader of the HydraVines.

What's gonna happen now?
