When the BeamWing's announced the new prisoners, Ember remained calm but when they added that they were a different species of dragon Ember panicked. Had they try sneaking in and kill them? What were they going to do with them? Is everyone safe? A million thoughts flowed in her head she barely had anytime to think to herself. Suddenly a distant roar could be heard from the west side of the village that made those thoughts more wild,  several dragons were struggling to keep a large metal cage up with two very large dragon skeletons that seemed a almost black but had a ting of blue. The skeletons eye sockets were a flaming blue so as it's insides, she heard the roar again. One of the skeletons - the larger one - was in the process of closing his muzzle and clawing at the metal bars, scratching them and making them wobble. Her eyes had widen as she realized that they weren't skeletons, they were dragons.

Ember shook her head as she thought she had been delusional and blinked a couple of times, the dragons that had helped carried the cage had now set it down on the dusty footpath and had scurried away. Ember took a few cautious steps towards the fascinating creatures, the spoke when the crowd had vanish and Ember remained. "What are you doing here?!" The larger one boomed at the smaller dragon, "You could've let me die, but no, were both going to die." He grumbled and turned to look at Ember and bared his gray teeth that matched with his skull, attempting to scare Ember away, Ember stood still and didn't move a muscle. "BlueHorns..." The younger one started to get his attention from the pale yellow dragon, " Calm down, please?". BlueHorns turned back to his sister and roared, "How am I supposed to 'Calm down' when we're stuck in a cage with a strange looking dragon staring at us in a strange looking village!" BlueHorns once again, turned back to the yellow dragonet, his tail bones rattles as they slid across the metal bars. "Can you help us...?" He asked, he attempted the 'Puppy Eyes' but it didn't work. BlueHorns looked behind him at the younger dragonet, "Come on IceDrift..." He whisper-shouted. The younger dragon got the message and went over to the bars. "We don't know where we are..." IceDrift looked at her claws clinging to the rusty bars, "We're going to die....we're the last of our species." She added and looked up into Ember's emerald green eyes. "Okay..." Ember whispered, "You'll be freed at midnight." Ember looked behind her if anyone was eavesdropping but the BeamWing's were doing their daily jobs,"Good luck..." She added and whisked off into the shadows.
