The nocturne glanced back again and her chest tightened,sensing that the skydancer will soon look her way.
She sped even more,reaching a lightning speed-her limit-beating her wings none stop,wooshing through trees and bones like a frightened phantom,chased by the light.
Nactis didn`t dare turn back again,eyes full of fear and desperateness,flying towards the arcane crystals.
She was so focused on getting away that she barely noticed she had reached the lands of the Arcanist,her purple eyes darting back and forth in search of a hiding spot.
The midnight dragon spotted a large crystal and quickly ducked behind,staying completely still,knowing that the dragons were now looking her way.
Nactis dared to look down and froze-there was a corpse so close that it was almost in her legs.
If I...bathe in this dragon`s blood..-she silently gaged,feeling sick both at the sight and her idea-Then they won`t recognize my scent.
She scaned for a lake,a new idea popping in her,head.
Once she saw one,the nocturne quickly sucked in a lot of air and jumped in,diving as deeply as possible,hoping to wash away the blood and rid the cursed smell.

After a while the nocturne finally decided to resurface,figuring that she's running out breath anyway.
I've stayed here long enough,the wounds have probbably finished bleeding,got washed from the water and I'm finaly free of this cursed smell. Nactis thought as she resurfaced,shacking her head to clear her vision.She cautiously crawled out of the water and looked around.
It's been a while now,so they've probbably wandered off to look elsewhere.

[The Sisters had been joined by an olive colored Skydancer and a fuchsia colored Pearlcatcher. The Skydancer had on indigo gloves with iron claws attached while the Pearlcatcher had a golden trident. The four of them were talking, the two sisters clearly unhappy.]

Nactis roamed the arcane territory,looking for a healer.
She hoped to find what she needs and fly off,go home and forget that all this happened.Except she couldn't.
The nocturne remembered Sante telling her that there was a nocturne attack on Tsunami's clan,privetly before going into the forest.
Is this why these two had weapons and are so heck bent on hunting me down,presumably along with any nocturne that is unfortunate enough to cross paths with them? I mean,I guess it sort of makes sense,but then again,can't they kind of...forgive? Or hunt down this specific dragon and chill down?Call me naive or childish,but to me whatever these guys are doing is really harsh. She thought,walking aimlessly now,letting her mind wonder when abruptly a thought crossed her mind-Wait,ever since I was thrown into the plague lands,I haven't sent a single letter to keep track of my progress! The clan must be thinking that I'm still...where? Tenuem only got to see me get carried away,but not in witch direction exactly,so he can't know where I've been dropped.Stormfang is definitely searching now and has likely sent small groups of four to five dragons in each of the elemental lands to increase chances of finding me! So all I have to do is simply look for one of said groups and go home,if I'm lucky,they might even have a healer!Nactis thought happily as hope rose inside her heart yet again.However she got so exhausted from all the 'bolt flights' that she soon found out that she couldn't take another step,no matter how much she tried to as the midnight dragon collapsed on the soft green grass.
The nocturne desperately fought her exhaustion,but to no avail,for she was fighting a loosing battle.
Nactis quietly cried out in fear of getting cauth again,this time with bad consenquences.

Soon enough she snapped her eyes.With great effort she got up again and took off into the air.
Nactis headed in the direction of the tangled woods-her homeland. A rather risky move.

[The Skydancer and the Pearlcatcher noticed a figure flying towards the Tangled Woods and decided they might as well say hello since they were heading in the same direction. They flew after her at a leisurely pace, chatting with each other as they followed Nactis.]

The nocturne glanced behind and tensed a little,she decided to face her followers head on this time.
She led them down,landing on the ground.
Nactis nerviously approached them with caution,unsure if they will attack or not.
Her body was visibly tense,trembling with adrenaline,fear and exhaustion,she looked like she would eighter bolt away,dodge or lunge at the tiniest hint of danger.
"H-hello...I am Nactis,who a-are you?" She winced,cringing at how shacky and low her voice was,fear clear in it.Nactis inwardly cringed at her stuttering as she watched the dragons carefully,neck lowered slightly.
Great they probbably pity me,seeing that I'm weak as hell and worn out from this whole mess,but I'm glad Tsunami and S.A are okay and happy back in their home,safe.
Before she could even do anything,a question had escaped her.
"H-how are Tsunami and S.A? A-a-are they doing well,h-ha-haven't seen them i-in a wh-while now." The orchid winged dragon snapped her mouth shut as soon as the words got out,she paled and fearfully backed away a little,letting out a frightened whimper.
Oh no,I've done it now,they will kill me or inprison me,or just throw me off somewhere for Shadowbinder knows how long,trying to tade me off again.I don't think I'll have the energy to fight them off or travel back here again!
She thought,staring at them wide-eyed as panic began filling her purple eyes.

[The two looked at each other for a moment, clearly concerned, before the Skydancer spoke up.]
[``You look clawfully tired, how far did mew-wait, Tsunami and S.A? They're fine, but how do mew know them..??``]

Nactis relaxed only a tiny bit.She took a deep breath to calm herself just enough,so she could speack somewhat normaly.
"We are...alleys,but I like to call them comrades,although I don't know a lot about them.We met deeper into the forest.A clan mate of mine was trying to interrogate them aggressively and was tempted to attack,thinking that they are intruders,but I didn't let her,somehow I managed to get there just in time to help.My clan leader-Stormfang was nice to them,he also accepted the two as part of the Umbra clan,allowing them to walk on our territory freely,participate in our activities and pay us a visit in the lair whenever they wish.
As for the exhaustion...I had a small...problem in the plague lands,long story short,I ended up being chased for a good period of time." She tactfully kept certain details to herself,still on edge.Her eyes nerviously darting back and forth,alert for her chasers.

[This time it was the Pearlcatcher who spoke up.]
[``Cod, so we know the feeling! Well, we have a camp nearby if you want to rest a moment and catch your breath.``]
