Págo was walking with Icecube throughout the Masked stronghold it was quite unique being a large mix of every tribes culture. As they walked by some dragons he heard several conversations about who the traitors could be, Págo was about to talk to Icecube when he notices him walking off towards a masked nightwing.
Panic quickly hit Págo, Nightwings could read minds and Icecube didn't seem like the kind of dragon who could keep his mind shut. Págo quickly followed Icecube to try and stop him but it was to late, "Hey there, what's your name?" Icecube asked the nightwing.
The nightwing stared at Icecube for a moment before saying, "I'm Starcounter, who are you two, I don't recognize either of you." Págo let out an internal sigh of relief as Ice cube then quickly said, "Oh, I'm Icy and my pal here is Págo, we just joined a day ago."
Starcounter nodded and said, "Oh, well I suppose it was nice to meet you but don't expect me to return the niceties often." Icecube nodded and said, "Well, you're not the only one I know who does that." Icecube looked towards Págo, a clear smile under his mask, Págo rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Suddenly, Icecube then said, "Well, we should get going, see you later Starcounter." Icecube then motioned for Págo to follow him as they walked up to a small pile of fruits, Icecube quickly grabbed one and began to eat, Págo decided he'd rather sit and eat with a loyal ice wing like Icecube than sit with the ones who left to become part of the Masked.
As Págo picked up a small goat from a pile of animals and quickly sat beside Icecube and said, "So, what exactly do we do now that we're here?" Págo wasn't entirely sure how they would find out who the traitors were, Icecube then said, "We know it's two dragons, so we should just start talking to random dragon until we find ones of interest."
A simple nod of agreement was all that Págo bothered to give as he couldn't be bothered to answer any further than that. As they both ate, a huge nightwing-sandwing hybrid walked up to the fruit pile, quickly examining a piece of fruit before seemingly walking towards them.
"Hello, I don't seem to recognize either of you, you must be new recruits." Asked the large hybrid, Págo nodded and said, "Yes, we recently joined." The hybrid nodded and said, "Well, it's a pleasure to meet the two of you, I'm the leader, but please call me Moonlight." Icecube then said, "Nice to meet you two, I'm Icy and this is Págo."
Moon looked down at both of them before saying, "Such lovely names for two icewings." She then took a bite of the fruit she held, the juice of the fruit splattered and dropped down her snout in a way that showed she had more then enough power to easily bite through most anything, it didn't scare Págo but Icecube seemed a little different from watching that.
As Moonlight continued eating her melon, Págo simply continued eating his goat, meanwhile, Icecube seemed to be nervously eating his fruit quite slowly. Soon Moonlight finished and said, "Well, it was a pleasure to see you two, but I should get going." Págo gave a simple bye as Icecube then quickly finished his fruit.
"Icy, why were you acting so nervous?" Págo asked making sure to use Icecube's false name, Icecube then said, "Did you see how easily she tore through the flesh of that melon! She has some incredible bite force, it was absolutely stunning! Imagine how viscous in a fight she'd be, no wonder she leads the Masked!"
Págo couldn't help but feel disgusted, no icewing should dare feel infatuated by a non-icewing, it is unnatural, especially for a prince of Icecube's rank. Icecube seemed to notice Págo's disgust and said, "Oh, don't feel jealous, you're still perfectly handsome in your own way."
A quick flash of deep blue flashed under Págo's mask as he then quickly said, "Silence you filthy imbecile, I do not care what you think of my appearance, I simply think it is unwise to be infatuated by someone like Moonlight, for a multitude of reasons."
Icecube shrugged and said, "That's a weird way of saying you're jealous but whatever lets you sleep at night." Icecube said teasingly, Págo growled and grumbled slightly, he wasn't going to fall for Icecube's tomfoolery any longer, he just needed to focus on their mission, nothing else.
As Págo ate his goat, still ignoring Icecube, two dragons suddenly approached a rainwing and a mudwing, the Rainwing sat near them and ate a large orange, "Nice to see that other none hybrid are joining the masked, I thought we might have been alone with that nightwing."
The Mudwing nodded in agreement as the Rainwing then said, "Anyways, me and Bog here heard you two talking to Moonlight so we already know who you are, I'm Ivyring, nice to meet both of you." Págo hesitated but said, "Nice to meet you too, I suppose."
Quickly, Icecube started a conversation, "So, have either of you heard of that place called Judgement?" Bog nodded and in a voice that was shockingly deep said, "Yes, we have, Moonlight is looking for a pair of traitors who seemingly want the founders, Gradient and Silver, dead. If you ask me, it's a waste of time when there are other things to deal with."
Icecube was soon having a friendly argument with both Bog and Ivyring, Págo mostly ignored it, eating his goat until something shiny caught his eyes. Págo looked at Ivyring's pouch as she moved something moved inside it, then it became clear what it was, it was a badge from Judgement, it even bore the symbol of Judgement on it.
A moment of hesitation and panic hit Págo as he spotted the same badge in Bog's bag, Págo was 100% sure neither of these dragons were from Judgment and the badges looked quite new. Págo could only determine that these two might have been the dragons trying to assassinate Gradient and Silver, but he couldn't jump to conclusions, he'd wait until later to inform Icecube on that discovery.
