Oriana

Return Tale - The Citrus Gang Flies In!
____________________________________________________________________________________

Daigon needed a little time to think about what he was going to do with his Clan's area. He was taking a little stroll around the area when he noticed a shadow and threw his head back to look. Aurelia was flying overhead. 'Hey Daigon! Surprise for you!'

'Aurelia, what the hell?' Daigon replied. She came down to land near to him and from her back jumped down thee little dragons.

'The Citrus Gang flies in!' The three hatchlings all yelled in unison.

Daigon's speechless face froze on them, before he looked up to Aurelia. 'What...the...HELL...did you do?'

'I was just passing by a friend's Clan, and these three cheeky little dragons were so bursting of energy. They were begging me to go for a fly all the way to the leader of that Clan. I thought they could do with meeting you.' Aurelia reasoned.

Daigon's gaze turned mad. 'So you brought them here? Couldn't you just, I don't know, fly in circles over their clan's base and call it a day?'

'But that's boooooriiiing!' cried the Banescale of the three.

'Oriana, please don't cause too much trouble. Daigon here isn't used to being around young dragons like you.'

'Okay, miss Aurelia, I'll try real good.' Oriana giggled.

'I don't trust that laugh... How long are we gonna keep them, Aurelia?' Daigon's blunt question held no real meaning of hate towards the hatchlings. The Imperial of the group even approached him.

'Hey mister. Miss Aurelia said you were a clan, but I don't see anyone here. Is everyone hiding?' he asked.

Daigon sighed. 'Nobody is hiding. I've only just established a clan, if you can even call 3 dragons a clan.' He grunted, just about to order Aurelia to take them home. He noticed her slightly sullen expression. 'Hey, Aurelia. They can stay for a bit, alright? Sorry if I'm being harsh on you about this.'

'It's not-' Aurelia sighed, shaking her head and putting on a smile. 'Thanks, Daigon. They should be spent and ready to leave in no time. These guys just go wild.'

Daigon nodded and turned to go back to the cave, only to find Oriana and the other two ahead of him, running towards the cave. They could all fit, and what scared Daigon was that Alisha was asleep in there. He was just about to rush after them when he noticed the Fae off to one side, her eyes focused on her book. He sighed in relief, following after the Citrus Gang to make sure they would be safe.

It was evening by the time the three were tired and laying around outside. Daigon glanced to Aurelia and nodded to her. 'Citrus Gang, form up please.' She called, and in a sudden burst all three came into line in front of her. 'Time to say goodbye to Daigon. Home time for you.' The group let out a groan of dissapointment.

'Byebye mister Daigon...' they all chorused.

'Take care, you three.' Daigon returned.'Aurelia? Don't come back with a hatchling, please. We're not ready for that yet.'

'A please from you? My, you must be serious!' Aurelia laughed, and even Daigon couldn't help but smirk. 'Alright. I'll return shortly, dear.'

The three hatchlings all climbed on Aurelia's back and she took off. Daigon watched her go. Though his eyes were focused on her figure becoming smaller as she went, his mind latched onto that moment of lament from her. He'd have to think on that tonight.
