Sightless sat in the cave. Everyone was asleep by now, even Cloud, which was a bit of a shocker. He twitched his tail. He was sick of the beach. The sea constantly laping at his talons, the seagels crying nonstop. All the weird critters the'll find roaming the beach. And all the rocks THAT COME OUT OF NOWHERE! He sighed. He started out the caves exit, to what at least, he hoped was it.

He knew Scorpion was out there somewhere, even if she wasn't, he wasn't going to let his self face the truth. He laid down, and tried to get some rest.


Sightless woke up during a nightmare. He shook of his scales embaresly. He could sense no one was awake yet, someone was absent, but he knew it was most likely Fang, taking her time hunting.  He got up, he couldn't stand this anymore. He raced out of the cave, and nearly collided with another dragon. He stumbled back, and identified Active to his surprise. 

"Hey Sightless, up so early?" Active replied caushily. Sightless didn't respond, searching for a reply. "I-i," he stammered. "I'm going somewhere," he finished. "Where's that?" Active titled his head. "Uh-ummm...Just for a fly," SIghtless stalled. Active sighed. "And where are you 'flying'?" Sightless hesitated. "Alright alright, I'm gonna try to find Scorpion," Sightless tried to sound defeated. He wrapped his whip-like tail around his ankle, ready to attack the dragonet.

"You still think shes alive?" He shrugged. "I don't blame ya. Let's make it are little secret mate," Active slid his talons over his snout, as if zipping his mouth shut. "Won't tell a soul." 

Sightless hesitated. "You promes?" "Swear on my life," he smiled. Sightless mimicked the sign over his snout. "Are little secret."

Sightless sighed. He had been flying for hours...Ok ok, about 20 minutes. But it felt like hours! Pulse, he had no idea where he was going. He was already starting to regret the idea. He stopped, was that, smoke? He tilted his head, he spun towards the rigged stench. He followed it gingerly...

He landed on top of a mountain.  He could tell he was high up, he must have been in Skywing territory. Or at least, what use to be it.
