Transported: A Wings of Fire Story

Murder Hornets

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of flying in terrible weather conditions.
They finally reached Wasp Hive.

They stood outside the massive walls which towered up high into the sky.
Daniel couldn't do much due to the loud whipping winds, which constantly threatened to blow their cloaks off but never did.

Blue had put his hood on to somewhat shield himself from the wind, though it didn't look like it was very effective.

"Alright, so what's the plan exactly?" Blue asked.
"I mean like, if we're breaking into the most heavily fortified place on the continent, we need a proper plan to get this shard.

Daniel nodded in response.
He'd given Blue a full rundown on what was going on regarding the Gatekeeper and the power the shards had during the flight over.

"So... You ready?" Daniel asked, looking over towards Blue.

Blue nodded, "Yeah, but we still don't have a plan-"

"We'll worry about that later," Daniel interrupted "Right now, we just need to find a way in, and I know flying would attract too much attention, so we can't do that."

"Well, we could just climb?" Blue proposed.

Daniel chuckled as he cracked a smile, "That's funny."

Blue stared at him blankly.

Daniel's eyes widened.
"Wait... You're serious!? How do you expect us to climb that!?"

"It's not that hard?" Blue said as he walked up to the wall.
"Just place your talons here... And then you go up"
Soon, Blue started ascending the wall effortlessly.

Daniel watched in awe as Blue seemingly appeared to grab absolutely nothing and still made his way up.

Blue looked down at Daniel.
"Are you coming up or what?"

"Uhhh... I can't climb!" Daniel said.

Blue gave him an odd look before letting go of the wall and gliding down to him.
"You can't climb..?

Daniel shook his head.
"Nope..."

Blue shot him a puzzled look.
"But I thought everyone knew how to climb..? I mean, most of my friends do"

"Probably because you weren't born with wings, so you had to adapt," Daniel pointed out.

"Maybe... But you're SURE you can't climb?"

"I'm SURE that if I tried, I'd fall off within a few seconds," He responded.

Blue made a face and nodded his head. "Right...! So uh... What's the plan?"

"That's what I'm trying to figure out!" Daniel cried half-jokingly.
"Do you think they'd notice if you burnt a hole through the wall?"

Blue's eyes widened.
"You want me to burn a hole into the hive? What happened to not raising attention?"

Daniel rolled his eyes.
"Answer the question, do you think they'd notice?"

Blue shrugged. "They probably will after some time, maybe not immediately bu-"

"Alright, it's settled then," Daniel Interrupted, outlining a medium-sized area on the wall with his claw.
"Burn us through."

Blue stared at Daniel blankly before eventually shaking his head for a brief moment.
"If you say so..."

Blue then weaved out a small bit of the purple radiant silk from his wrists as he started to use it to burn through the thick outer wall of the Hive.

Soon, thick black smoke started to rise as the wall was burned.
It had a slight violet tint to it, which screamed 'STAY AWAY'
