Wings of Fire: The Forgotten

Guilt trip

Current walked out a little woozy. His first thought being: what the hell just happened? Because of this, he was actually twice as scared of Burn as he was before.

Blizzard laughed, "Hey Current? What happened in there?"

"Ugh. You don't want to know."

"You're right, we don't."

Shade gave him a pitiful look, like she was saying I know what happened. Then she twined her tail around his, making Current feel guilty about falling in love with Flare.

Maybe he'll decide later but for now he needs to focus on the matter at hand, and that's to kill Oryx.

"Alright everyone, we're going to need some help with finding Oryx."

"Um Current, all we need to do is find a giant floating thing in the sky." Blizzard gestured toward the sky. The Dreadnaught hovering overhead. "Not that hard dude."

Current glared at Blizzard, "Okay 'dude', what if I told you that that thing is like a maze. You'll have to memorize the layout of the Dreadnaught, then figure out the most likely place Oryx would be. But to do that, if I remember correctly from a scroll I read abou him. He hides within a portal, or a 'rupture' as the scroll called it. But we need to be part taken. So Blizzard, I'm all ears, any suggestions?"

He stared at Current, and razzed in anger. "We could still find help. It won't hurt anyone."

"Except the help we take under our wings."

"Are you just going to shoot down every idea I make?!"

Shade put a wing around Current and looked at Blizzard, "My little C is just worried about getting anyone hurt." She said sympathetically. Current blushed a little when she called him 'her little C' but he noticed Flare glared at her, "And who might you be?" Flare said sharply. She looked back at her happily, "I'm Shade. What's your name?" Flare's face turned back to normal, "Flare."

Shade still had her wing around Current, so Flare's body still looked a little tense. But overall she looked calm.

She looked back at Blizzard, "Current just cares about our well being." She twined her tail around his and leaned into him. Wow, that was way too much emotion in one go.

"We should probably get some sleep. It's been an... Enlightening day." Current said remembering that moment with Burn.

He lay down as Shade put her wings around him. He did the same, he did it to make sure Flare won't kill Shade in her sleep.

"Hey Shade?"

"Yeah?"

"Now that I'm out in the open. Won't Oryx target me more?"

She sighed, "Current you're going to be fine, you're just paranoid."

"I hope you're right. Good night Shade."

"Good night C."
