Blackblood: a wings of fire story

Chapter 5

Qibli
"I still can't believe that you convinced me to come here"

"don't speak to your Queen like that"

"Yeah, yeah"

Well, here's a first. Not trusting your Queen. It's not my fault, this mountain gives me creeps. Not Jade mountain. The other one.

Qibli lands by the mountain and strolls in.

"Hi!"

Qibli jumps and raises his defence.

"Who was that?" He demands

"It's me, Fatespeaker!"

"Oh hi Fa-"

"You are Qibli, right?"

"Y-"

"Jade winglet, the second last cave to the left."

Oook, he thought warily

He waits for his friends to get their caves, and then walks with them to each of their caves.

Then his eyes snag a Nightwing.

Nightwing. Thorn doesn't like them; we just sent a couple back to Glory as her prisoners; we have no idea what they can do in battle yet, especially if it's true they don't have powers after all. Needs further study. She's kind of cool looking, with those silver scales by her eyes. Seems nervous. Twitching her wings to look smaller than the is. Up to something, or shy?

"HelooOOOo, Phyrria to Qibliiii?"

"Oh, sorry, Ostrich."

"You're getting down that scavenger hole of thoughts again, are you?"

He did not want to discuss this topic again, so he says, "oh, there's my cave, gotta go!"

He runs off while he hears Ostrich's giggles

He enters the cave to see a ICEWING.

Seriously? He looks so grumpy!

But then his eyes snag onto the cage he's holding.

"Whoa, is that a scavenger?"

But this Icewing just huffs and turns away from him.

"I'm Qibli. What's your name?"

"Prince Winter nephew of the Queen."

Sheesh, that Icewing is very arrogant.

"Well, royalty doesn't matter, in Jade Mountain"

But Winter just gives him a scornful look and walks away.

After 5.6 seconds, Qibli gets impatient and looks at the scavenger.

Then, he opens the door.

And the scavenger runs out.

Oops
