Wings of Power

huh

Six miles of ground has been won, Half a million men are gone, And as the men crawled the general called, And the killing carried on and on, How long? What's the purpose of it all? What's the price of a mile? "Price of a Mile" -Sabaton

Starflight woke up coughing, trying to take in oxygen but the air around him choked him like a thick blanket. Hacking on the smoke-filled air.

What in the three moons? He felt his face, a muzzle strapped around it making it impossible to take deep breaths of air.

He stood up on the warm stone floor, opening his eyes to see many strange sights.

Lava surrounded the stone floor he was standing upon, answering a couple of the questions he woke up having. He was in a cave apparently in a volcano of sorts.

His wings were bound, making it impossible to fly or walk out of the cave with the lava surrounding the area he was in.

The light from the lava also made it impossible to use his powers...

"Hello there!"

Starflight turned around to see a young female RainWing right in front of him flashing him an excited smile.

"My name is Kinkajou, what's- oh I'm sorry, I keep forgetting," Kinkajou said, flashing multiple colors.

Starflight shook his head getting her attention, he started to point around the cave they were in.

"Are you asking where we are at?" Kinkajou asked excitedly, treating it like a game.

Starflight nodded his head, his eyes growing, surprised she understood.

Kinkajou nodded her head back, "I'm really good at charades, I don't know where we are at but the NightWings here are rude!" Kinkajou protested, "They won't even feed me the right kinda stuff, YUCK!"

Starflight tried to hide the fear that was shown on his face, they were in the NightKingdom. Probably one of the top three places to NOT be trapped in right now.

"Don't worry," Kinkajou said nonchalantly, "I'm sure the queen will find us and help!"

Starflight resisted shaking his head. "Not if they cant find us..."

Kinkajou ran up beside him, sitting down, "I wish you could speak, I am getting tired of all these one-sided conversations, the only nice dragon here is-"

"Hello," A voice cut off Kinkajou from outside the cave.

Kinkajou shot up, turning around, "It's you!"

Starflight turned around as well, seeing a female NightWing who had dark purple under scales, with small silver scales running down her side and a grey teardrop scale next to her eye.

The female was giving a smile at Kinkajou from the other side of the cave entrance.

"Hi, Fatespeaker!" Kinkajou greeted happily.

"Hello Kinkajou, it's good to see you again," she greeted back. Holding an object that Starflight just now noticed on the dragon.

"I brought you some dinner but... I am not allowed to unlock your muzzle, only the guards can do that when it is time for you to eat."

Kinkajou pouted but nodded.

Fatespeaker turned her head to Starflight, giving him a long stare in curiosity and... apprehension?

"So your... Starflight?" she asked hesitantly.

Starflight nodded his head to the answer.

"You're an actual... Dragonet of Destiny?" she said, now eying him up and down.
