Chapter 12: reunion and complications

-----outside of the castle walls, sundown-----

-----Amber’s Pov-----

    As we went to see what the hell is happening with the Jade Winglet and some random dragon, I could not help but smell steam, which means either Devil was sweating or crying, or fucking Peril is here.

    “Devil, If you lose your shit again, I will tear you apart” I say semi truthfully to him, not wanting to lose my other wing and replace it with a prosthetic.

    As we flew down, I could hear my eagle screeching and landing on my horn. Whispering information about the new dragon to me. RainWing, green, pouch around neck, and not to trust most of all. I gave my feathered friend a piece of meat from one of my pouches, she took the piece, grateful. We then flew down onto the clearing they were in, surprising them, I chose to talk to Moon.

    Been a while hasn't it Moon? Who is the stranger? I ask her through my thoughts, forcing a smile, never taking me eagle vision off of the stranger.

    Why have you left the school? And why are you here in the first place? She said with a frown that could rival Devil’s.

    We were saving Devil! Why else would we leave?! I mentally shout, making her wince and put a talon to her head, before she looks at me a little fearfully, like I just gutted a dragon in front of her.

    But back to my other question, who is the stranger? I question while fidgeting with my talons, while trying to look into his mind. I suddenly felt a pain in my skull, I knew this dragon was special somehow, and now I know.

    “Mind introducing us to your little posse Moon, and maybe leafy over here?” I ask out loud, startling the adult and young RainWings, and making the SandWing jump, before I feel a glare in my direction.

    “I know most of you all” I hear Scorpio says, albeit with a little venom looking at the other SandWing, who looked like he was about to throw himself at Scorpio, and know that I look at the others of Moon’s posse, they all look angry, but i don't give two shits weather or not they have history.

    “Sheesh, I'm blind yet I can still feel the tension, so how about you all drop your pissy attitudes and calm down.” I say, with a little malice in my voice, trying to stop a fight from breaking out, before I look at the stranger, who was trying to leave “and you. It's rude to leave a party without speaking to the host you know”

    The stranger then froze up, before turning towards us, and I could feel his tension, and he smells like he just met an entire army of Devils, meaning he was sweating buckets. “U-um… I-I’m” He stutters, only to be interrupted by Branch “The disabled RainWing, Chameleon.” He says bluntly.

    Care to explain why you cornered him like an animal? I ask Moon in my head, confused and more than a little annoyed.

    Don't you make it sound like I have a choice. He tricked Peril, turns out he is her dad, but uses magic to change his tribe, and we need what he keeps in his pouch she responds, giving me a quick summary of the situation, before I nod, and turn to Scorpio, and whisper “Get the pouch on his neck, we need it for some reason. But keep him ALIVE. Oh, and if any of them fight back, subdue, not kill, and please, for the love of God, don't leave any permanent scars."

    What happened next was expected, but annoying all the same; he fought back against Scorpio, before being pushed to the ground by Pale, who had his serrated talons pushed against the back of his neck, not enough to hit blood, but enough to hurt like hell. Peril tried to get to Chameleon, but not before Devil switched to his power form and blocked her, growling and being engulfed in flames.
