-----Obsidian cave, midday, Amber’s pov-----

    After being introduced to every other winglet member, figuring out the layout of the room, and selecting a bunk, everyone was on their way to sleep. Everyone except me and Scorpio, the SandWing, I pulled my hidden blade out with a rough cloth and a bottle of polish. After I pulled all the materials I needed, I began cleaning and sharpening the blade.

    “Not a bad set of blades my blind friend.”  Scorpio said, his tail swaying left and right, while he cleaned his claws and his horn rings.

    "Don't worry I won't stab any friends of Devil." I said, hopefully making his fear go away, while using eagle vision to keep an ear out for the other dragons in the cave.

    “How long have you known, Devil?” The SandWing questioned, still wary of me, his tail ready to strike only if necessary, with what I'm guessing is a rotten sneer on his face.

    "If you wouldn't mind putting your tail down, we could have a decent conversation." I respond, putting a little bit of venom into my words, hopefully giving him the signal to back off.

    “Oh don't worry, I always like to keep strangers away like this, after all Devil did learn it the hard way how careful and accurate I can be with my tail when we first met,’’ he said chuckling, reliving the fury of said SkyWing. “He even still has the scar, right under his right wing.”

    "So, you're immune to firescales?" I questioned the SandWing. 

    “Oh no, he just threw boulders 4 times his size at me, it was kinda scary to see him lift those boulders.’’ he said, a shiver crawling up his spine, not wanting to relive those scary as Hell times.

    "Speaking of strength, I don't even know how much I can lift…" I said, staring into the distance for a moment." I guess I could figure it out tomorrow."

    I heard Scorpio shrug from the sounds of his scales rubbing together, “maybe, why don't you help Clay with hunting and find out by carrying a lot of carcasses?” he says, whispering Clay’s name to not piss off Devil, who was secretly listening in on the conversation.

    I do like helping around, I thought, "sure." I said to him, finishing with my hidden blade and moving on to my hookblade.

    "Are you two done conversing yet?! Some of us are trying to sleep!” Plaguebringer, our NightWing, scolds, clearly annoyed and looking half asleep, his raspy, zombie-like voice shredding through whatever thought I had before, replacing it with the thought of what made him sound so scratchy like that?

    I shut my maw, continuing to sharpen my hookblade, very intimidated by the furious NightWing.

    After finishing I went to sleep. Figuring I could use the rest for tomorrow’s classes.

-------TIMESKIP TO THE NEXT DAY-------

    To say I had bad sleep was having mercy on me, I could not stop thinking about what the actual Hell I was hearing, voices in my head, one sounded like Plaguebringer, one sounded like ‘TsuTsu’ and one was just straight up fire and screaming. What the hell was I hearing last night? I kept pondering, when I suddenly heard two other voices in my head, One sounding like a female dragon, 7-8 years old if I'm hearing correctly, one sounding suspiciously like some kind of giant, scary thing, is that I think they realized I heard them.

    Well well well what do we have here? I heard from a deep toned dragon.

    Excuse him my dear, he seems to have forgotten his MANNERS and most of everything else apparently.

    Sorry, but I'm just confused. I'm Amber, what are your names?

     I'm Moonwatcher, but please call me Moon, also how can you hear me, no other NightWing can hear me. Moon questions, clearly as confused, if not more, than me.

    I'm asking the same thing lady, why the Hell can I hear you guys? I think, trying to understand what in the name of Isu Tech Is going on, am I somehow high? Why am I--

    ARGH SO F*CKING LOUD!

    IT IS SO LOUD! Well apparently she does hear all these voices in my head.

    What's happening? Why am I hearing voices in my head?!  I asked, fear evident in my thoughts. And I could tell Devil was growing more and more nervous for me by his tight grip, growing tighter. "What?" I asked Devil, earning a very concerned look from him.

    “Why are you in pain, some kind of memory?" He asked me, concern filled his voice.

    "Just a migraine" I answered his question.  But I could tell he was skeptical.

    Amber, Is that you next to Devil?! 

    Yes, why? What's wrong?

    It's just.. I thought he was evil and unapproachable, how did you become his friend? And why?? 

    He found me in a desert and dragged me into a cave. Then we encountered a squadron of guards that we had to kill.

----FLASHBACK-----

    "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 my eagle sense to see the incoming bogies. 

    ‘’Nice shot, I  take it you're used to throwing knives at others’’ Devil 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!’’

-----END OF FLASHBACK-----

    As I remembered those thoughts, I could feel her nervousness from the thoughts.

    What's wrong? I asked her.

    YOU KILLED THEM!?

    I do what I must to survive.

    When we meet  officially, we are going to have a talk.

    I already know what you're going to ask.

    Oh really? What is it then, hmm?

    You want to know why I killed, them don't you?

    It would be good to know why… You did not just knock them out.

    I'm an assassin, Moon.
