No one's POV

    ‘’Who are you? Why are you here?’’ I hear from the cave entrance, ‘’answer me before I rip your throat out!’’ he says (judging from the deepness of their voice)one moment.

     ‘’I'm sorry, but I can't remember, I just woke up here.’’ 

    ‘’(Creepy chuckle) flying accident? Or just sheer stupidity?”

    Not wanting to reveal his secret, he lied "I... don't know" he said getting off the cold stone floor.

    “Judging by your eye color, you're blind, aren't you?’’ I could tell he was slowly getting closer to me, I could hear some kind of metal pitter patter, but at the same time, I could feel the rage and raw power just from the sound and vibrations from the floor, this was someone I don't want to anger.

    "Yes" I replied shortly, standing to my full height.

    ‘’Are you afraid of me? (small sad chuckle) Also what tribe are you, you're too small to be a skywing, but still have some of our features’’ he acknowledged.

    "I told you that I don't remember anything." he said getting slightly annoyed.

    ‘’Not even your own name? I find this hard to believe, you don't have any wounds that I can see, so how can you not remember?’’ He demanded, irritated and clearly confused, while emanating from what I could tell was either ash or smoke.

    "Let me rephrase what I said, all I remember is that my name is Amber. Sorry for the confusion… ummm what is your name?’’ he questioned, trying to appear friendly.

    ‘’Devil. Among the skywings I'm devil, the meteor dragon amongst the other tribes.’’

    "Interesting…" he said under his breath. "You sound very powerful, Devil."

    He then released a deep growl and shouted with more rage than was necessary ‘’FLATTERY WILL GET YOU NOWHERE, I CAN TELL WHEN I'M GONNA BE MANIPULATED!!!’’

    "Sorry it's a habit." I said honestly.

     "Ah, my apologies, I do suppose being used as a weapon and being hunted for months has taken its toll on me" He responds honestly as well, a little nervous he pushed away a potential friend, though he has been lonely for some time.

    ‘’I sense your nervousness, Devil. What is the matter?" 

    ‘’After being alone for so long, and my one friend betraying me, I’ve been paranoid and lonely, with the only company being guards or bounty hunters’’ He said, looking down and releasing small, partially evaporated tears, finally releasing a dam’s worth of pent up emotions.

    Amber went over to comfort the other dragon, giving him a much needed hug, surprising Devil, who gave a sad and relieved smile, before hugging him back, his anger filled body language, replaced with a (kinda) cheerful and sad tone.

    ‘’Anyway, we must leave before I'm found, and since you talked to me, you will probably be wanted for assisting a criminal.’’

    "I can take care of anyone trying to stop us," Amber said, showing Devil his many blades, before hearing shouting and wing beats in the distance, using his eagle sense to see the incoming bogies and throwing a single knife. The blade cut through the air with a whistle and going through their eye socket.

    ‘’Nice shot, I  take it you're used to throwing knives at others.’’ he says as he grabs another guard and burning his face, while also ripping his throat out and burning the inside of it.

    "Not bad yourself! Behind you!"Amber said, warning the dragon he was helping.

    Devil did a 180* throwing the charred and dying guard at him, while spewing fire and using his tail to catch a spear that was thrown at his friend and partner in crime.

    "Thanks!" Amber smiled, drawing his hidden blades, using them to slit the throat of one of the remaining dragons. 

    "Interesting weapons my forgetful friend! That was a refreshing battle! Though I doubt that it's the last of the guards in this area.’’

    "Indeed," Amber said sheathing his blades in their proper places. ‘’Onwards then!’’
