Oh sorry!

Adony stopped.

Was it FrostBlade?

The Pearlcatcher was the first to have found the body, seemed to know more about it than anyone else... and the Fae hatchling... Kasuf. Kasuf couldn't have murdered someone by herself, right? Everybody else seemed fine enough...

Fingers were pointed and names were named, but in the end, it seemed Lohengrin had the most votes. Frostblade, Adony, and Greenbean had formed a council of sorts, working together to discover the killer. Frostblade, their elected leader, agreed with the majority vote. Stepping forward, she looked Lohengrin right in his bright red eyes. "Go. You are to leave this clan. At this point in time, we have little proof, but I am driven to believe that you killed Senegal. I call this an exaltation, for lack of a better word, but that is a privilege that you are no longer privy to. Return to your birth clan. Actually, go live in the forest for all I care. Just leave, and don't come back." For a second, Lohengrin looked hurt by her scathing words, but then a look of understanding spread across his face. He nodded calmly, then replied, "I understand why you would think I killed Senegal. I definitely look the part, with all my spikes and bloody bandages. And my calm, understanding demeanor could easily be mistaken for coldness and emotionlessness. Even so, I'm afraid you have the wrong dragon. I'd watch your backs if I were you because something tells me this won't be a one-time occurrence." With that, he floated out of the lair. Frostblade bit her lip, realizing she had probably been too harsh on him. He had taken it well, but with the wrong dragon... Adony watched Lohengrin leave, and had a strange feeling of loss. She had always looked up to Lohengrin. When they were young, they had trained together. He had been much better than her at most hunting techniques, but he had helped to train her and taught her most of what she knew about hunting. And, though she hadn't realized until she watched him exiting the lair, she had always wished that there could have been more between them than just friendship. Gathering her courage, she stepped forward. "I would like to join Lohengrin," she announced. "I have been close with him for most of my life, and I don't know what I would do without him. As she approached Lohengrin, she added, "Also, I-" "I know," Lohengrin said, cutting her off. His voice softening, he finished, "and I love you too." Frostblade watched on as they flew off, tails entwined. [b]Looks like you've killed two birds with one stone! Unfortunately, neither of those birds was the right one.[/quote][/columns]

(tell me who you are for one thing, maybe your further plans?)

"If I kill- No, no, maybe I should..." they glanced over toward the Nesting Grounds. "Yes, that's probably my best bet." They sighed and entered the Nesting Grounds. They watched the hatchling's sleeping form for a moment. Kasuf was going too big for her little nest, and would likely have to move to the lair's main sleeping quarters soon. They stood over her a moment longer, trying to decide on how to kill her. [i]"Might be best to just make it quick. I don't want her crying out and waking everyone. Yes, I should-"[/i] The young fae's bright pink eyes opened suddenly, breaking the killer from their thoughts. She smiled at the familiar face, though her expression changed suddenly to fear at her realization that this was likely her murderer. Before she could do anything, they bit into the young dragon's neck. Their strong teeth snapped the hatchling's neck quite easily, and left a bright red gash. They grinned and licked the blood off their lips as they returned to the sleeping quarters for a good night's rest. [b]The murderer hungers for blood.

Cuarzo was already outside in the morning, making up for the time he missed the day before and gather some more food for the clan. He still couldn't exactly process the fact that three dragons had been forced to leave this village, but perhaps it was for the best. Killing wasn't exactly the thing that shocked him, especially as hr had been to the coliseum more than a few times himself, but what kind of monster would turn their skills on another dragon?

He shook his head, maybe thinking about this wasn't exactly the best idea right now. However, arriving back at the clan he picked up the unmistakable stench of blood. It was coming from the nursery, and it couldn't be Kasuf's since she wasn't in the nursery when she was killed. The Spiral froze up, not wanting to see the body of a hatchling, and continued to sort out the food he collected to stall.

FrostBlade awoke the next morning, mind still reeling from the events of yesterday. Of all the dragons, why had they chosen her to do the exiling? She hadn't even voted; although, she had started considering Adony up until the point that the imperial had left along with Lohengrin. Even so, it still had been a poor choice in her opinion. She took after her adopted father in her cold nature, despite her adopted mom's attempts to change that. On top of that, that fae Dengue had used her head as a perch yesterday! The very reminder of that caused a growl to find its way into her throat, but she forced it back down before it could escape.

Getting up from her resting place, she exited her den, once again smelling the copper tang of blood. However, this one clearly wasn't Senegal's, the scent much fresher than the dead spiral's dried blood. It still originated from the same area as Senegal's though, which led her to assume it was likely Kasuf's. Not many other dragons had a reason to go near the nesting grounds. Honestly, she was tempted to not go over since she had found the body yesterday and she wanted someone else to deal with finding the body today, but she knew that the other dragons here seemed to be much more hesitant about dead bodies than she was, likely due to her occupation as an assassin for her clan. Being an assassin did grant her a rather intimate relationship with death and it certainly wasn't an occupation for the squeamish.

Shrugging off her reluctance, she wandered over to the nesting grounds and sniffed around, following the scent trail of semi-fresh blood. She'll admit, at the sight of the hatchling's dead body, she shivered at the implication that the murder had little concern over such a thing. Even with her occupation, she would never kill a hatchling. The idea was utterly revolting.

She had to walk away for a minute. Leaving the nesting grounds, she sat down outside it, closing her eyes as she composed herself. The sight of a cadaver hadn't bothered her since her days as a hatchling. Steeling her nerve, she reentered the nesting grounds, telling herself that she had to examine the body and figure out who did it.

Although her mind told her that she should look away, she ignored the internal voice and focused on Kasuf's body, taking it in the teeth marks on the hatchling's neck.
