The Lost Dragonet

Chapter Eight

~Part I, Years~

It's been six years, now all three of them are nine. They've all grown alot, now being tall and muscular instead of small and somewhat weak. They spend their days flying around with no destination in mind and hunting until they're full. They're all surprised that they haven't ran into any dire trouble yet, it's been SIX years after all. They all flew around cadually until they saw a large group of dragons. Aglaia looked at Gecko and Aldrin, wondering if they should ambush them, only to get two disapproving head-shakes in return.

They all decided to follow them, to be lead to a place that was really big. The trio sneakily glided over the wall and hid behind a nearby cage, which really isn't the best hiding space. They are in a place infested with Skywings, which could go in the boy's favor if they all get caught, but only if they play their cards right. When there was a clearing, the boys hid under Aglaia's now giant wings as she camouflaged her scales, successfully hiding themselves as they clumb into a battle arena. Determined to find that flock of dragons, Aglaia took Gecko and slipped into a new area that was filled with inprisoned dragons. Meanwhile Aldrin decided to look around and 'borrow' a few things.

Aglaia looked directly at Gecko and they both knew what to do. She snook towards the eggs as Gecko got low, almost taking a snake's posture, and slithered towards a weird looking Sandwing that was too busy being curled up to notice him. She has a golden color to her scales and her back spiked change pattern. They're going to take any sane dragon they can, hatched or not. Her talons scooped up as many eggs as she possibly could, feeling a weird feeling of sudden nastolgia, and she waddled towards Gecko, who had the most sane looking dragons freed. Nearly all of them started excaping and starting a mini-war in the horrific kingdom of tyrants.

Aglaia rolled the plentiful of eggs under the sunny Sandwing and flew out into the outside area of the enclosed dragons. Her now night colored scales shimmered as her purple eyes scanned the perimeter, her eyes met a steaming Skywing's, the opposer seemed to freeze as Aglaia swooped the opposite direction, her eyes set on a dragon that looks nearly exactly like her adoptive mom. She swiftly broke the lock to the cage and pulled out all of the chords restraining her, not minding that the furious dragonet clawed at her tough scales.

When all of the chords were finally off of her, Aglaia got tackled down as the new dragonet furiously flew away, going towards another encloser. The night colored dragonet's camoflouge was slightly damaged from the forceful blow she recieved, but she didn't mind much. Her wings unraveled, only to show a slight re-twist in her once broken wing's bone. She'd ignore it for now, she needed to free the other dragons.

Aglaia swiftly broke the locks to the cages as she made her way towards the sea-colored dragonet, watching as she attempted to free the rainbow-colored beauty, encircled in the night like a peice of bismuth in the endless night. It made Aglaia fairly envious of her undeniable beauty. Only when she was side-by-side to the Seawing did the lock finally unclasp, causing a fresh wave of venom to just fly by her head. She swiftly spread her wings, much like an eagle, and flew off towards the Mudwing and Skywing.

She landed on top of the cage, only to get a face full of scolding fire. It didn't hurt her too much, it only surprised her greatly as her disguise grew a feverish red color onto her face, outlining her features into the darkness. Aglaia huffed and flew away angerly, if she wasn't wanted she wouldn't be here. All she wanted to do was help them excape. The weird Sandwing bolted past her, giving her a small 'Thank you!!', so Aglaia assumed not all of their efforts went to waste.

~Part II, Origional~

Aglaia played with her brown fur bag as she tried to sleep, that night plaguing itself into her mind, almost like that night she had accidentally killed that abducting Skywing. She huffed once she realized she wasn't going to sleep anytime soon. So, after a bit, she simply rubbed her talon over her newly-healed wing, what she had gotton was just a very minor fracture, but Gecko lost his tail over it. After that gesture got boring, she wondered out, into the gorgeous star filled night.

Her ears went flat against her head as she begun to think, What lead me to this? Did my parents not want me? Did my parents even know about me? Was that strong voice I heard my mother? Even so, why would she just throw me into a water pool like that? Aglaia huffed mutely as purple tears cascaded down her cheeks like the running currents of water. Her head snapped up, her eyes wide almost like a sad deer as a giant silver sloth fell out of a nearby tree, it's chest torn open painfully and blood flowing out like lava.

Aglaia felt her heart drop as the sloth clawed at the ground, letting out a small, painful bellow into the darkness, begging for help. She uncautiosly moved towards the quickly dying creature, her tears lighting up wherever they touch like glowworms, giving the grass a somewhat luminescent glow. Aglaia sobbed sadly and tried to comfort the creature, blood dribbling everywhere and staining everything in its path. On Aglaia, marking the sloth, and giving the soft grass the sign of death. She gently pushed her head against the other's, tears mixing in with its blood as they cried together.

After a bit, the sloth stopped crying and hugged around Aglaia's neck greatfully but weakly, and affectionately nuzzle against her snout. Much to her surprise, it's wound was closed and all that was left of the incident was blood stained fur, grass, and a gross looking scabbed over wound.  She decided to search for food with her new buddy, to replinish all of the blood that had been lost.
