WOF Fanfiction: REGION

Chapter 6

Region found himself sneaking out of the Hive again. He had tucked medical supplies under his his metal armor. He could feel it poking his scales, yet he ignored it.

He headed towards the lowest level of the hive when he was surprised to find a whole crowd of protesting dragons. No, not a whole crowd. Two separate crowds, arguing with each other. On one side, there was a sign that read: LEAFWINGS ARE DRAGONS TOO. On the other crowd (made mostly of HiveWings) they had banners that read: LEAFWINGS ARE A THREAT and LESS TREES, MORE VICTORY and lastly I AM HUNGRY.

Bout to make an epic escape, Region said as he went inside the crowds. The guards seemed bewildered, as if they had given up on what to do. "Pathetic..." Region said confidently. He leaped forward to the exit.

"Hey!" One of the guards noticed. Region felt anxiety rise and he flew out as quickly as he could.

A HiveWing soldier fluttered behind him. "Stop this instant, SilkWing!" He roared. Region tucked his tail, however that made it harder to fly.

"CHARGE!" A lime yellow and blood red HiveWing roared and a crowd began to chase after the confused HiveWing soldier. Region took a peek, laughing to himself as the soldier found himself tackled by a huge swarm of dragons. He continued his way and flew off...

"Took you forever!" Ash snorted. Region rolled his eyes, entering the cave. Ash had made herself at home, scraping rocks together and starting a spark.

Region pulled out a carrot from a small pouch on his back. "You know, my services wouldn't last forever. Better be helping yourself too, LeafWing." Region shook out the silk bandages from his chest plate.

"Region!" A voice growled from the outside. The SilkWing winced.

"Hide," he told Ash. The LeafWing nodded, ducking behind a huge boulder. "Who's there!" He yelled back at the voice. His antennas tensed as he felt the dragon come closer and closer.

"Region! What in the Hives do you think you're doing?" Firesky snapped, "Why cause giant chaos at the Hive? What are you up to?"

Region frowned. "You followed me?" He hissed. Act angry. Definitely not doing anything wrong.... Region told himself. "Well that's not very respectful of you, Sky!"

Firesky snorted. "What kind of moon-faced problem have you stuck your nose in?" He retorted, his expression calm, "Why talk about respect when you, coward, have gotten HiveWing guards into a huge herd of dragons. By the moons, Region! You're going to get in immense trouble!" Firesky closed his eyes and sat down, taking a breathe.

Region huffed. "Well that's none of your damn business now, is it?" He said saucily. Both SilkWings' antennas twitched. Region almost choked on his saliva. Ash you idiot! Don't move!

Firesky got up and pushed Region to the side. "Someone's in here," He growled, extending his wrists. He twisted over to where Ash was. The LeafWing had gathered several rocks, ready to throw them.

"No don't!" Region growled as he shot a blob of silk at Firesky's face and wrapped around Ash's arms.

Ash snarled at Region. "What was that for?" She hissed, struggling to take off the silk strands, "Why is this silk more sticky than I thought?"

Region shrugged. "Mine is just that way," he said proudly with his head held high. Firesky muttered something, before glaring at the LeafWing. He suddenly froze, his expression furious as he was with Region.

After a few heartbeats, Firesky jumped back in fright. "LeafWing!" He roared. Region rushed over to shut his snout. Ash raised a brow, letting out a snort of amusement escape from her nose.

"Yeah, it's a LeafWing. Seen plenty of those in battle. Nothing new," Region told Firesky. The orange SilkWing looked baffled. His quiet personality obviously being thrown off by vicious concern and worry.

Firesky turned to Region. "Have you been conspiring with the LeafWings? How much information have you given away?" Firesky demanded, before scanning the LeafWing. She looked back at him, the scars on her neck were still noticable. "Wait- you're not-"

Region let out a small chuckle. "Of course not, Firesky. I'm not that snail-brained," Region interrupted him. He knew that the SilkWing would figure it out eventually. "I found her out in the savanna injured. Nothing big."

Ash got up. "Are you still going to attack me?" She asked, grabbing her rocks, "I'm ready now."

Firesky shook his head. "No, but we're definitely in trouble," He muttered in disbelief, rubbing his eyes and blinking to make sure the LeafWing was real. Region smiled with himself, knowing that the two would definitely get along. Why wouldn't they? They equally judged Region, grumbling how he was a moon-licking snail-for-brains.

Region shrugged. "But I know you'll definitely find a way to go back without getting caught and avoiding the guards.

Firesky sighed and let a small smile. "You know me too well," he grumbled, "I have a plan."
