Soon, it became midnight, and only four guards were in the dungeons. All four were half asleep, eyes closed slightly.

Yellow nodded to Green, who stepped up to the bars and inhaled. Then slipped right through.

Guards noticed and ran over. One dropped the key for Red's and Blue’s cell along with theirs.

Green ran past the guard and straight back to Yellow and unlocked the cell. Yellow started to attack the guards while Green raced over to Red's and Blue's cell and unlocked it.

Blue grabbed Red and got out. Yellow knocked lashed his tail, no guards dared to step near him. Yellow then lunged over them and ran with Green.

The four got out, Red started to cough as he gained consciousness. Blue looked at the slightly small skywing with worry.

Snow started to slip out of the sky, making Green growl. “WHY IS IT SO COLD IN THE DESERT?”

“Don't ask me!” Yellow responded to Green, earning a laugh from Blue.

Mountains were in view for the four.

“Oh come on! The sky kingdom again?” Blue complained, knowing the frost will probably spread here next.

“be lucky we aren't going to the sea kingdom” Green answered the nightwing quickly.

Then something unexpected happened, Red was dropped. “RED-!” Blue screamed, diving down, but couldn't reach him fast enough.

Yellow and Green also tried but couldn't, then a pink-white blur shot towards Red, grabbing the poor skywing before he collided with the ground.

“What the-” Yellow stares down, confused.

A dragon shot up with Red in it's grasp  “Uh- Hi, strange dragons! I think you dropped this skywing…” The dragon was a skywing but had spikes like icewings on its neck. Also, it was much a lighter hue than most skywings.

“Thanks…?” Blue grabbed Red.

“Uh- I can bring you lot to my place for a bit” The strange dragon said.

Everyone hesitated before nodding. Following the strange dragon to a cliff side with a small opening, it led to a huge cave. At least 10 beds were against a wall.

Multiple tables with scrolls, test tubes, and some even bones.

Everyone sat down, Blue laid Red beside him.

“So uh- what's your name…?”Green asked the strange dragon, confused on that part.

“Frostburn.” The dragon answered Green.

“Frostburn, what are you…” Yellow asked

“Hybrid of a skywing and icewing” Frostburn answered, ice bubbled in her mouth.

“Oh yeah, what's up with the skywing?” Frostburn asked

“That's Red, our enemy kinda stabbed him with a weird needle. I don't know what's happening to em.” Blue answered Frostburn, laying a wing over Red protectively

“That's concerning…” Frostburn sits at a table, looking at some vials of some sort of liquids.

Yellow and Green nod, not asking about the weird liquids.

Yellow and Blue started talking.

“Yel, what do we do… Second and Chosen were nowhere to be seen when we woke up… Red is maybe dying… Oh… are they all alright.. Especially Red, oh cursors, what if Red is gonna turn evil or something.. W-what if Red’s going insane… Wh-”

Yellow then shouted at Blue, “BLUE- For Alan's sake, please stop worrying you're going to give yourself a panic attack!” The small nightwing nodded.

Suddenly, Red started to cough violently. Everyone stared at him. Frostburn had an empty vial in her claws.

“Red- Are you alright?” Green asked Red, hoping for an answer.

Instead, Red threw up black blood. It dripped out of his mouth like ink but more liquidity. Tye blood had no signs of red, just pure straight black.

“WHAT THE STICKS-” Blue shouted before passing out on the spot.

“WHAT AH RED, ARE YOU STILL HERE WITH US?” Yellow and Green started to panic.

Frostburn also seemed a bit worried but walked over and swiped some of the blood into a vial.

Yellow and Green started to clean up the blood. It stuck to the leaves they were using like a parasite. Blue woke up and helped everyone clean it up.

Frostburn then called out behind her, “IN THE BACK ROOM. ICEWINGS ARE OUT THERE!” Everyone nodded and ran to the back room, slightly smaller. Red was laid on some moss as Frostburn dealt with the icewings.

An icewing entered and sat down, “Taxes please ma'am.” Frostburn nodded and handed the icewing some scales, and it left. The other icewings following.

Blue dragged Red back into the main room, Yellow and Green followed.

“So what we gonna do..” Frostburn asked the three, having the vial of the weird black blood in her grasp.

Then Error flew through the opened door, Second with Chosen entering as well. “Hey- Oh hello, Frostburn!”

Chosen and Second collapsed on the floor, Chosen had a few cuts and bites.

“What happened ..” Frostburn and Blue said in unison.

“Frostbite and Dark happened..” Error causally said, Chosen nodded.
