They all landed aboard safe and sound, but that wasn't the tricky part, no indeed.

They made their way toward a hull breach, which must have been made due to an attack on the Dreadnaught.

To Current's surprise there were no taken soldiers near the hull breach, but he felt as if he was being stalked by someone. He looked around frantically, he really felt like someone was watching them, no matter how much Current tuned that feeling out, it always came back.

The scarier thing is he knows someone is watching them, he can hear distant footsteps off to his left.

"Stay frosty," Current said, but Blizzard glared at him "Dude, I'm an IceWing."

"Okay then, stay at equilibrium then?"

"Yeah that works."

It all felt like a blur when someone pinned Current down. He hoped it was just Shade pinning him down to hug him, but nope that wasn't it, he was staring into the eyes of a RainWing, and a fierce one at that.

She held a glowing spear down at his throat threateningly, Shade started toward her, "Don't move." She said coldly.

"You can't make me." Shade said.

"I will kill him."

No one moved, and she released Current, glaring at him.

Blizzard clawed the terrain shyly when she looked at him. Like he didn't really want to show his feelings around her.

"Who are you?" Inferno asked.

"My name is Hya,"

"Okay Hya? Why are you here?" Blizzard asked quickly.

"Come with me IceWing, and I'll tell you why."

Blizzard looked red from almost head to claw, Current has never seen him act this way around anyone.

"Why me?"

"You're the only one who asked, and I don't feel very comfortable around anyone else."

"Oh... okay."

As they walked away from the group, Current noticed Blizzard almost twined his tail around Hya's, but she flicked it away.

"Looks like Blizzard has a crush on Hya." Current said.

"That doesn't surprise me, she is pretty, I'm just surprised you haven't fallen in love with her." Shade said.

"Well, I already have someone." He replied nuzzling Shade affectionately.

"Awww," was the only thing Shade could say, alongside blushing.

Ten minutes later, the two of them came back, Current could see that Hya had been crying, there were tear lines down her cheek, and Blizzard had his wing around her with Hya leaned into him, and Blizzard's head was resting on hers. Blizzard gave Current a look that said: She's been through a lot. There were also ripples of pink and green on her.

"Hey Hya? How long have you been here?"

"What day is it?"

"Tuesday."

"I've been here for seven years."

Shade exclaimed, "What? All by yourself?"

"Yup, until you guys and this handsome IceWing came along." Her green scales turned pink all over. 

Only minutes after meeting each other, they fell in love, Current thought.

"So Blizzard tells me you're looking for Oryx."

"That's correct."

Her look turned from sad to dead serious, "I know where to find him."

"You do?" Vein asked.

"But one of you needs to be part ascendant to enter the rupture in time and space."

"Sounds like science fantasy." Ripper said sarcastically.

"True, but I've seen it, ascendant taken have traveled through the portal, no others."

"And another thing." Ripper said, "What is this, Destiny?"

"Shut up Ripper." Vein said.

"Yeah shut up and let this beautiful lady talk." Blizzard agreed. Both Hya and Blizzard sighed happily giving each other a look.
