Sightless smiled. Tho he wished he could see, but he just enjoyed what he had. He could smell rabbits and mice, scurrying around in bushes, and a couple of fish in a nearby lake. He could feel the mist around him, and feel the warmth of the sun in his scales. Sightless felt for the cain on his wings. When he felt it, he angled his head, and blew some Ice wing ice onto it. Relieved he didn't hit his self, he got up and said. "Im gonna get these chains off my wing" he sighed, and started to walk away. "Wait? How?" Fang asked. "Ice wing ice what else?" He shrugged. "We could of done that this whole time?!" Bone jumped in. Sightless paused, then nodded. "We've could've done this lizard-brain." Scar sighed. He shoot some rain wing acid at the bounds on his wings. "Why la..." he exaggerated, spreading out his wing for the first time, without hesitation. Fang did the same. She spread out her wings with a smile, then ran yelling. "We can fly! We can fly!" All the hybrid dragons, like Bone, Fang, Active, Cloud, and Widow. Could fly without being taught. It was like how a dragon can breath without having to practice. But Sightless, Scorpion, and Scar on the other talon, couldn't fly at birth. They would have to learn. Sightless walked away behind the waterfall that was still spreading mist around them. HE shattered the rock wall, he backed up. Then ramed the chain at it. It shattered like glass, and he spread out his wings.

He couldn't help letting out a smile. It felt amazing to finally stretch them. They felt sore from being closed for so many years. He wiped around, then tried to take of into the air. Of course, he stayed in the air for a while, then he felt some air curve around his wing, and he tumbled to the ground. He shook dust of his scales, and backed up again. He leaped into the air, and flapped his ice blue wings. He flinched a little at the soreness, which made him lose balance. He fell again. But he didn't feel soiled ground below him, he hesitated, wondering how far he flew up. A sudan thought hit him like a (something idk yet XD ;-;) What if he leaped straight of the mountain? Embarrassment, and a sudan fear fell throw him. HE flapped his wings in a panic, then he remembered one of the last things he saw. The Light wing, it leaped down a clif he saw it. First it spread out its wings like th- He felt himself be lifted into the air. The sudan pressure of being pulled out dazed him for a while, then he flapped his wings up, stadely. He felt air whos around him. He closed his eyes, getting ready to fall again.

"Sightless your-..dude you're flying!" Fang commented from beside him, making his jump and almost fall. "S-so are you!" He commented. She chuckled and said "Yeah, but you did it first try!" "Second" he corrected with a smile. Suddenly the air around them rushed into a faster oaits, he could tell something was near. "Scorpion!" Fang shouted. "Your flying too!" Fang smiled. "Uhh, yeah, yeah." Scorpion responded, her eyes fixed under her. The others glied by them, with Scar last, who had to catch up with them. Sightless loved the way he felt the wind under his wings, lifting above the ground. He smiled. He knew he was miles above the ground. He imagined how beautiful it must be. Even Scar wasn't complaining, and that's saying something. He could sense Fang looking at him, then she turned her gaze at the ground.

"Ok, there's some tall pines over there. Should we stay there for the night?" Fang sujusted. When no one answered, Fang dove for it. The rest followed. The trees branches stretched out wide, and he had to mindmover around them, hitting branches every now and then with a hiss. Sightless landed with a hiss. He could tell that it was dark, dark enough for them to barely be able to see. Bone lit up his bone like scale markings, providing more light. "Bone, can you find a cave for use to camp in?" Fang asked. Bone wings, Swamp wings, Blood wings, and Light wings all had night vision. Bone noded, and walked away.

Sightless could tell Scorpion was next to him, by her sent, and her scales radiated a worm heat. He could inskinjles Fangs sweet sent as well, he could tell she was at his other side. "F-fang?...I'm tired..." Cloud complained. "That's a new one" She examend. "And the night is scary..."He shivered. "Don't worry, the sun will be back soon" Fang incoreged. "....Whats the..."Sun"?" Cloud echoed. "Oh my goooshhhh" Sightless sighed, looking up. "Found one!" Bone called, bounding towards them. Sightless jumped. "Oh! Thanks!" Fang responded. "Come on." She said, darting after Bone. They ran in a hurry to take shelter. Sightless could sense that the cave was small at its entrance, and big inside as he approached it. It was in the side of a cliff. One after one, they squeezed between the gap. Sightless could tell it would be a good place to stay. If there guardians did come looking for them,there was no way they could fit throw there. Sightless took a seat by a small pool. Stalagmites dripped water like miny rain clouds. And the air was misty from the bottom of a nearby waterfall. "Should one of us keep watch?" Fang asked. "There's no way someones getting throw that gap, were fine" Active responded. Fang nodded and said. "Ok" "Night" Sightless called out, curling into a ball by the lake. He rested his wings over him, almost like a blanket. And his tail tip rested by his snout. "Night" Fang responded, laying by him. Widow jumped onto a ledge, sleeping somewhere high. Active found a small rock like island in the middle of the pond. "I call sleeping next to Scorpion!" Cloud called. Scorpion was a Sandwing, meaning her scales radeated a worm heat. Scorpion sighed and said. "Alright alright" but she couldn't help giving a small smile to the young dragonet. Scar laid by Scorpion, while Bone laid in the darkest area of the cave. Like most Bonewings, he was use to, and liked sleeping in damp, dark caves. Sightless closed his eyes, and drifted into sleep.
