Strawberries and Darkness

Thanksgiving with...Everybody: Part 1

It took a bit before Darkstalker eventually was able to fly straight and they continued on toward the castle. 

Peacemaker: So now that you're alive, how are you feeling?

Darkstalker: It's weird, I can feel everything. I can feel the breeze, I can feel your scales, I can feel my own.

Peacemaker: Welcome to the living I guess.

Peacemaker stared down at the scroll he held with his talons.

Peacemaker: Hey...scroll, what are the dragons we'll meet? You said that we would be familiar with them.

That's something for you to find out:)

Peacemaker looked at the smile at the end, it reminded him of the note by the Secret Assasin left for him when he returned the knife. (Coincidence)?

Who knows? 

Peacemaker: Holy moly, can you read my mind?

Darkstalker: Are you talking about the scroll?

Of course, I can do all sorts of things. You're like little toys compared to the existence of myself.

Peacemaker: Sounds comforting. 

Darkstalker: Reminds me of myself when I was alive, the other time I was alive.

Peacemaker: Maybe so but speaking about how you were, who do you think we're going to meet?

Darkstalker: If there's a whole castle then I think we're going to meet quite a lot of dragons. If the whole theme about this seems to be new and old or whatever the scroll mentioned, then I think the new is relating to you and the old is relating to me.

Peacemaker: I thought about that, maybe we'll see dragons like Moonwatcher and Mink, I hope I see my Winglet again. 

Darkstalker: Then we might see dragons like Clearsight...

Peacemaker looked over at Darkstalker, his expression shifted from calm to instant worry and nervousness, seeming to bite his tongue. His talons fidged a little too. 

Peacemaker: I'm guessing the thought scares you.

Darkstalker: Scared? Ha, imagine me being scared.

Peacemaker: You're not good at hiding it. Is this one of the first times you had to worry about something, maybe your lack of abilities now finally showed you what these situations could lead to.

Darkstalker seemed to stare daggers at Peacemaker for a slight moment before sighing, his expression going back to uncertainty. 

Darkstalker: Y-you're right. I guess without my magic and all I can finally...get hurt. I'd be lying if I said the thought doesn't scare me a little. Can I get hurt? What if my enchantments like my indestructible scales are still active?

Peacemaker shook his head.

Peacemaker: I checked with my Clearsight, and you have no animus traces.

Darkstalker: You have your ability?

Peacemaker: That is a fair question. Hey, Scroll, why can I use Clearsight while Darkstalker can't use any of his magic or mind reading and such?

Well...I like drama and you having Clearsight or not doesn't cause much impact while Darkstalker finally being able to be hurt for once with no future seeing or mind reading would definitely stir up conflict.
