Glaring at the dart I try to yank it out only for me to yip loudly afterwards. I whimper softly before laying back on my paws. Another kymari walked past a tranquilizer on its belt. It's been a couple of days since that incident and my nerves have been bad as I haven't performed the evening song in a while. A pair of kymari-female and male- passed by speaking as they do. "We have to retire for the night. I'm getting tired of looking for a creature that might not even be in this area no more." The male sighed before responding, "I'd have to agree to ya."

They walk away and the sky darkens completely as the sun dips behind the horizon-ending another evening dance. I hop out of my hut and limp towards the nearest food source.

The kymari market buzzed with life and the gorgeous lights brightened the streets. I stalk towards an open store and snort into the air. Of course I knew this was dangerous but there are no fruit in the little foliage I live in. Sniffing the air I chance my possibilities. "There are fruit in in there. But where.." I quickly catch on to the scent of a pineapple and quickly make my choice for dinner. As quickly as I could I dash into the store startling many kymari in which some held gorgeous looking animals. "Get it!" One yelled and i quickly dash through someone's foot. I jump up and aim for the delicacy infront of me and dash away once I have it.

Skidding across the corner a scent hits me hard in the nose forcing me to slam into the wall. I fall backwards before dropping the fruit in my muzzle and hissing fearfully at the hiding sicora. It hissed back and I back away before attempting to raise my wings only for me to yelp in pain. Kymari surrounded me and I hiss at them fearfully. The sicora quickly jumps out the vent before aiming at a small child. Heat rises in my small frame before I spit a blue fireball in it's direction. The fireball meets it's target the horrible creature screeches in pain before facing me and running in my direction. It takes a good chunk of my fur and I jump out of the way. Another fire ball hits it's hide as something else hisses in fury of the creature. I look up at the silver dragonet and my eyes widen. He hissed loudly before flaming it's hide and I take that chance to attempt to crawl away. I whimper softly as my back leg throbbed painfully.

With one last squeal the sicora was laying on the ground dead, blood pooling from it's wounds. I continue to pull my limp body before something grabs me from behind making me hiss in fear. "Look at that finally caught this runaway." I begin to bite and scratch at the exposed skin and the kymari pulls me towards his chest. "It's okay little one don't be afraid." He cooes to me and I look at him before feeling the familar heat build up in my muzzle. The silver dragonet lands on his shoulder a black box in hand. I hold the building fire before letting it dissolve in my body. The dragonet hands the box to the male and I struggle against his strong grip.

The kymari male gently places the box onto my neck before a soft clicking emits from the small contraption. My body goes limp in his arms and I whine helplessly against him.  "There that should be easier to get you to the vet." The dragonet looks at me his head tilted before flying away to help people with the damage that was caused. The kymari male lifts his wrist before speaking into it quietly looking at me as he does. After a few more minutes of silence and talking another male kymari walks into the store. His face scrunched up as he looked at me. "It is in bad shape. Can you send me the scan?" The kymari male seems to nod before lifting his wristcom and doing something. The other male lifts his wristcom before smiling. "Thanks." I yawn softly causing a small whine to leave as I do. "She seems chill to be a wild creature. You sedated her?" "Ya she wouldn't calm down and she was widening her wound. The vet hasn't come yet that's I called you. I dont have time to take care of another creature so hopefully, maybe you can?" The kymari male laughs and I turn my head away not wanting to listen any more. Another pair of large hands grab me and I whimper softly.

The males say their final goodbyes before the new male holding me walks out the market and into a hover car thing. He gets in and holds me close to his chest. They speak and I lay down onto his warm arm to rest my eyes only for me to fall into a dreamless sleep.
