The Coatl lifted their head to look towards the source, using a claw to pull their hood aside. Two shapes stood on a distant hill, one silvery and glittering in the sun and the other a deep blue. The silver one moved animatedly, angry gestures causing the light to catch on several rings. The blue one was simply watching, almost seeming confused from a distance. “Honestly, you lot can never have any decent manners,” the silver one snapped furiously. “[i]This[/i] is why I didn’t want to go on this stupid journey at all!” Arkhip moved closer, curiosity pulling them in. As they approached, the two dragons’ shapes became clearer; the angry silver one quickly became apparent as a Pearlcatcher, while the other was clearly a Mirror. “I said I was sorry,” the Mirror’s voice became audible as they approached. “It’s not my fault you weren’t looking where you were walking.” The pearlcatcher exhaled sharply, nostrils flaring in anger. “You’re one to talk!” The furious dragon’s tail lashed behind them like a cat’s. Arkhip caught sight of the pouch at their hip, holding the massive pearl that always accompanied Pearlcatchers, as it was jostled by the movement. Arkhip got closer and the Mirror’s head snapped around towards them, instantly falling into a defensive stance. Upon seeing they were another dragon, however, she quickly relaxed. “Hi there,” the Mirror called, turning the Pearlcatcher’s attention towards them as well. “Ugh, another one?” The Pearlcatcher huffed, voice lowering to a grumble that wasn’t supposed to be heard. “How I hate interacting with the lesser dragons…” “Ex[i]cuse[/i] me?” The Mirror immediately faced the Pearlcatcher again, her claws digging into the grass as she bared her teeth angrily. “Would you like to repeat that?” The Pearlcatcher backed down instantly, the anger in their eyes snapping away. “I- er, well…” Arkhip’s gaze was pulled past them as he spotted an approaching shape. A small but vivid sparrowmouse, blue and purple feathers flaring as it got closer. “[i]Lesser[/i] dragons?” The Mirror spat the words like they were rancid. “What makes me [i]lesser[/i] than you? Because if you mean in strength-” her voice fell into a furious laugh- “oh, buddy, I have [i]news[/i] for you.” “Um-” Arkhip attempted to get their attention. “That’s not what I meant,” the Pearlcatcher tried to shakily explain, their fear a stark contrast to the entitlement they showed mere moments ago. “Then whatever [i]did[/i] you mean?” The question was a dare, a challenge. “Excuse me-” “I- well, I meant…” The Pearlcatcher stepped back nervously. The bristling Dark Sparrowmouse lunged for the Mirror, who turned and slashed it away before it could land a hit. Arkhip paused, taken aback by how seamlessly she reacted. They didn’t get to think about that for long before something slammed into them from the side. They stumbled and quickly righted themselves, turning to find a Mith Bruiser winding up for a second hit. Beastclan enemies were surrounding them quickly and in massive numbers. “Ugh!” The Mirror turned briefly to snarl at the now-cowering Pearlcatcher. “Look what your yelling has brought us!” “I-I hardly think this is [i]my[/i] fault,” the Pearlcatcher stammered. “Either shut up or start hitting,” the Mirror snapped as she slashed again at the Dark Sparrowmouse, “or I’ll start hitting you instead!” Arkhip took a moment to meditate, gathering Breath into their body, and when they refocused, the Pearlcatcher was doing the same thing. It took ages for them to fight off all of the enraged Beastclan enemies. Their teamwork was sloppy and inconsistent at first, but they quickly found their rhythm. By the time they had fought off the last of the enemies, Arkhip’s muscles burned; they could tell their makeshift companions were the same. The sun was setting as a last Webwing fluttered away in a panic, and the Mirror snorted after it. Arkhip breathed heavily as she turned to face them and the Pearlcatcher, who was flat on the ground in exhaustion, “You’re a pretty good fighter,” the Mirror said as she turned to look at Arkhip. “Sorry to pull you into this idiot’s mess.” “Hey-” The Pearlcatcher tried to snap, but they were too breathless to get far. “It’s no problem,” Arkhip replied. “You’re a good fighter yourself.” “We could use an extra set of wings,” she went on, smacking the Pearlcatcher with her tail. “[i]Right[/i], Frir?” The Pearlcatcher- Frir- mumbled into the grass. The Mirror smacked them again, and they lifted their head. “Right,” they grumbled. Satisfied, the Mirror turned back to Arkhip. “Name’s Onyx,” she introduced. "He's Frir." “Arkhip,” they replied with a nod. “And I suppose I could use the company.”

“Would you please watch where you’re going?!”

An angry, high pitched shout caught Arkhip’s attention. The Coatl lifted their head to look towards the source, using a claw to pull their hood aside.

Two shapes stood on a distant hill, one silvery and glittering in the sun and the other a deep blue. The silver one moved animatedly, angry gestures causing the light to catch on several rings. The blue one was simply watching, almost seeming confused from a distance.

The group had settled for the night under a rocky outcrop, worn from their panicked battle. Onyx was stretching languidly out across from them, while Frir watched the fire, his scales reflecting the light onto the rock in small flecks of rainbow. He was still slowly nibbling at the apple in his claws as he sulked. “Don’t look too miserable, now,” Onyx commented. “Those creatures made me break my claws,” Frir shot back, then sighed. “I spent so long on them before we left.” Onyx rolled her eyes exasperatedly. She turned her attention to Arkhip with a curious tilt of her head. “What has you traveling through these fields, anyhow?” Arkhip hesitated a beat. “I’m looking for someone.” Onyx nodded slowly, so they turned the question to her. “What about you?” “Oh,” Onyx reached back into her bag and retrieved a folded parchment. “I’m following this map my dad gave me. And helping Frir with his journey.” “Which is none of your business,” Frir snapped defensively. “He sold a family heirloom to some traveler,” Onyx explained. “Onyx!” Frir bristled as he whipped around to glare at her. Onyx snorted in amusement. As the two started bickering again, Arkhip found their thoughts wandering. They were hardly a day or two into their journey, and they knew it would be a long one, but they found they were disappointed with the lack of clues. Their friend’s face flashed in their mind, smiling at them just as she had before she vanished. Anxiety pricked at their scales; they hoped she was okay, that she wasn’t suffering wherever she was. Images of her afraid and injured forced their way through their mind, and they clenched their eyes shut with a shake of their head in an attempt to clear them. They didn’t need to grieve yet, they had no proof she was gone for good. She could be exploring somewhere, or hopping between towns and villages across Sornieth. She had always been an explorer, at least while they had known her. Arkhip’s thoughts were interrupted, suddenly, by a tug from their bag. Brush, his familiar, chittered a warning from his place under their hood. They turned in time to see a small, stubby black and white body scamper unsteadily away. “Whoa, little guy,” Onyx hopped to her feet and easily cut off its path, and Arkhip noticed immediately that a piece of dried fish was in its mouth. Frir shot to his feet as well. “A thief!” “A baby,” Onyx corrected. “It's just a little Snapper hatchling.” Arkhip moved closer, examining the hatchling. They were black and white, with yellow wings that glinted into orange. They were clearly starving, as Arkhip could count ribs along their side. Bright purple eyes flashed at them as they squeaked around the stolen fish defensively, protectively curling their head away. “They must be hungry,” Arkhip murmured. “Poor thing,” Onyx said sympathetically. She ducked down closer to the hatchling. “Where are your parents?” The hatchling mumbled around the fish again, still defensive. Arkhip found themselves amused. “You can have that. I have some to spare.” The Snapper blinked at them, then practically inhaled the fish in seconds. Arkhip was taken aback, while Onyx laughed. “Yeah, that’s how it's done!” she whooped. “You’re a funny little guy.” While they hadn’t totally relaxed, the hatchling perked up a little bit. They shuffled a little closer to Arkhip’s bag again, clearly drawn by the concept of more food. Arkhip couldn’t help but smile, reaching into their bag to fetch another dried fish. They tossed it to the hatchling, who snatched it up and inhaled it just as they had with the first one. The hatchling chewed thoughtfully as they watched Arkhip, the tension in their stance melting slowly away. Then, they shuffled close and flopped down beside Arkhip, giving a satisfied squeak. “Oh, Windsinger, we have a [i]child[/i] in this ancient-forsaken group?” Frir huffed irritatedly. “Great, [i]just[/i] what I wanted.” “Oh, come off it,” Onyx rolled her eyes as she returned to her spot, settling down easily. “They’re hardly a day old. Look at them, they’re tiny!” “They must have gotten separated from their parents,” Arkhip added cautiously. “I think we should try to find them in the morning. They must be worried.” “Agreed!” Onyx smiled at the hatchling as their gaze settled on her. “I think we should give them a name until we find their parents.” “[i]Why?[/i]” Frir exasperatedly folded his forelegs. “I don’t want to name the whelp. I hardly want it here.” “Well too bad for you,” Onyx said with a huff. “I’ll name them then.” “[i]Why[/i] am I even paying you?” Frir muttered. Onyx grew thoughtful, watching the hatchling for a few moments. The hatchling nosed at Brush, who had hopped free to investigate them, and gave a happy squeak when he sniffed at their beak. “Bastien,” Onyx concluded, a fondness in her voice. “I’ll call them Bastien for now.” [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76849840][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=0&body=9&bodygene=10&breed=9&element=7&eyetype=1&gender=0&tert=66&tertgene=0&winggene=42&wings=45&auth=f85b2f91d1409f8725d27eee9ade60292507791c&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url][/center]

Arkhip shook their feathers out as they settled beside the makeshift campfire.

The group had settled for the night under a rocky outcrop, worn from their panicked battle. Onyx was stretching languidly out across from them, while Frir watched the fire, his scales reflecting the light onto the rock in small flecks of rainbow. He was still slowly nibbling at the apple in his claws as he sulked.

“Don’t look too miserable, now,” Onyx commented.

“Those creatures made me break my claws,” Frir shot back, then sighed. “I spent so long on them before we left.”

Onyx rolled her eyes exasperatedly.

She turned her attention to Arkhip with a curious tilt of her head. “What has you traveling through these fields, anyhow?”

Arkhip hesitated a beat. “I’m looking for someone.” Onyx nodded slowly, so they turned the question to her. “What about you?”

“Oh,” Onyx reached back into her bag and retrieved a folded parchment. “I’m following this map my dad gave me. And helping Frir with his journey.”

“Which is none of your business,” Frir snapped defensively.

“He sold a family heirloom to some traveler,” Onyx explained.

“Onyx!” Frir bristled as he whipped around to glare at her. Onyx snorted in amusement.

As the two started bickering again, Arkhip found their thoughts wandering.

They were hardly a day or two into their journey, and they knew it would be a long one, but they found they were disappointed with the lack of clues. Their friend’s face flashed in their mind, smiling at them just as she had before she vanished. Anxiety pricked at their scales; they hoped she was okay, that she wasn’t suffering wherever she was.

Images of her afraid and injured forced their way through their mind, and they clenched their eyes shut with a shake of their head in an attempt to clear them. They didn’t need to grieve yet, they had no proof she was gone for good. She could be exploring somewhere, or hopping between towns and villages across Sornieth. She had always been an explorer, at least while they had known her.

Arkhip’s thoughts were interrupted, suddenly, by a tug from their bag. Brush, his familiar, chittered a warning from his place under their hood.

They turned in time to see a small, stubby black and white body scamper unsteadily away.

“Whoa, little guy,” Onyx hopped to her feet and easily cut off its path, and Arkhip noticed immediately that a piece of dried fish was in its mouth.

Frir shot to his feet as well. “A thief!”

“A baby,” Onyx corrected. “It's just a little Snapper hatchling.”

Arkhip moved closer, examining the hatchling. They were black and white, with yellow wings that glinted into orange. They were clearly starving, as Arkhip could count ribs along their side. Bright purple eyes flashed at them as they squeaked around the stolen fish defensively, protectively curling their head away.

“They must be hungry,” Arkhip murmured.

“Poor thing,” Onyx said sympathetically. She ducked down closer to the hatchling. “Where are your parents?”

The hatchling mumbled around the fish again, still defensive.

Arkhip found themselves amused. “You can have that. I have some to spare.”

The Snapper blinked at them, then practically inhaled the fish in seconds. Arkhip was taken aback, while Onyx laughed.

“Yeah, that’s how it's done!” she whooped. “You’re a funny little guy.”

While they hadn’t totally relaxed, the hatchling perked up a little bit. They shuffled a little closer to Arkhip’s bag again, clearly drawn by the concept of more food. Arkhip couldn’t help but smile, reaching into their bag to fetch another dried fish. They tossed it to the hatchling, who snatched it up and inhaled it just as they had with the first one.

The hatchling chewed thoughtfully as they watched Arkhip, the tension in their stance melting slowly away. Then, they shuffled close and flopped down beside Arkhip, giving a satisfied squeak.

“Oh, Windsinger, we have a child in this ancient-forsaken group?” Frir huffed irritatedly. “Great, just what I wanted.”

“Oh, come off it,” Onyx rolled her eyes as she returned to her spot, settling down easily. “They’re hardly a day old. Look at them, they’re tiny!”

“They must have gotten separated from their parents,” Arkhip added cautiously. “I think we should try to find them in the morning. They must be worried.”

“Agreed!” Onyx smiled at the hatchling as their gaze settled on her. “I think we should give them a name until we find their parents.”

Why?” Frir exasperatedly folded his forelegs. “I don’t want to name the whelp. I hardly want it here.”

“Well too bad for you,” Onyx said with a huff. “I’ll name them then.”

Why am I even paying you?” Frir muttered.

Onyx grew thoughtful, watching the hatchling for a few moments. The hatchling nosed at Brush, who had hopped free to investigate them, and gave a happy squeak when he sniffed at their beak.

“Bastien,” Onyx concluded, a fondness in her voice. “I’ll call them Bastien for now.”

Bastien hatched without a soul in sight.

He was a tiny thing, with stubby legs and stubbier wings. His scales swirled black and white, and his wings were too small for him to turn and see. As he shook away the shell of the egg he'd emerged from and looked around for the first time, he only saw an endless field.

Arkhip sighed. This was the third old camp they'd searched. Bastien was at their side, nose to the ground as he seemed to look for something. Frir stood off to the side, glaring at the camp. "This is a waste of time," Frir snorted. "The whelp was on its own. It must have rolled away from its parents." "Be nice," Arkhip said firmly. "He's only a day or two old." "So?" Frir flicked an ear. "It's annoying. I still think we should leave it here." "We are not leaving anyone here," Onyx snapped as she returned from her perch at the top of the hill. "If we can't find his parents, we'll take him with us." "No we will [i]not[/i]!" Frir turned and snapped at her, bristling angrily. "Don't you start calling shots here. [i]I'm[/i] still the one paying you. If anyone should call shots it should be me, and [i]I[/i] say we leave the thing!" "If you want me to continue helping you fix your stupid mistake, then we take the hatchling. Leaving him here means leaving me here, too." Frir looked taken aback for a moment, before growing angrier. "How [i]dare[/i] you! You're willing to break our contract for some hatchling you've only known for half a day?" "If it means the hatchling lives, then yes," Onyx answered firmly. Frir looked ready to retort, but Arkhip cut in before he could. "We don't have time for this," they said with a hard look at Frir. "We aren't abandoning a hatchling. He hasn't done anything to you." They gestured towards Bastien with a claw. "Look, he's hardly-" "He's gone is what he is," Frir pointed out with a huff. "Good riddance." Arkhip and Onyx both whipped around to see that Bastien was, indeed, missing from their side. Alarm shot through their feathers. "Oh, Icewarden help me- Bastien!" Onyx turned to call out. "Bastien?!" "He was just here, he couldn't have gone far," Arkhip pointed out, though anxiety twisted in their chest. Frir gave an annoyed huff, but Arkhip ignored him in favor of hurrying to a nearby tree and clambering up the trunk for a better view. They scanned the green and brown landscape around them for the black-and-white Snapper. "Bastien?" Onyx called again. "Bastien, come back here!" Arkhip whistled high and long, noting Frir and Onyx both flinch. They stopped and listened carefully, straining to hear any squeak or rustle Bastien might make. "Over there!" Onyx sped off, and Arkhip took flight to follow. They hurried towards a small patch of foliage, bushes and ferns clustered together in the vast field of grass. Arkhip landed beside it, pushing the foliage aside. Sure enough, they spotted Bastien's tail. Bastien squeaked and turned to stare at them with wide purple eyes. "What in Sornieth are you doing?" Onyx chastised. "You scared the lights out of us!" Bastien squeaked again, then turned and pressed deeper into the foliage. Arkhip lowered their head and tried to follow after. Bastien's tail swished aside ahead of them, and a pair of bright red eyes stared back at them. Arkhip pulled back in surprise, which startled the red-eyed dragon as they retracted as well. Bastien squeaked again, before he nosed a little Pearlcatcher out into the open. Her pearl was gripped tight in her front claws, and her eyes were wide. She looked about Bastien's age, scales a mottled black and deep green jaguar pattern. Her wings held the same pattern, though they were more brown than green, and her belly was completely black. She stared at Arkhip, then at Onyx. "Another hatchling?" Onyx sounded appalled. "Ugh, [i]really?[/i]" Frir's voice sounded back by the camp they'd been searching. "Not another whelp to have stumbling around my claws..." "It's a Pearlcatcher," Onyx called back. "A little green one." Frir's annoyance vanished in an instant as he hurried over to see. As soon as he laid eyes on her, relief and happiness rolled off of him in waves. "Finally!" He moved close to the little Pearlcatcher, who looked intrigued by him. "A hatchling with some status!" "Are you kidding me?" Onyx snapped. "Shut up already with your 'better than thou' attitude." "Absolutely not," Frir smiled back, scooping the little Pearlcatcher up into his claws. "She's coming with us." Onyx looked appalled for a beat, before anger made her bristle, followed by her snorting in annoyance and moving to Bastien's side. "Yeah, sure." She turned to Arkhip, voice low, and said "I cannot stand this man." Arkhip stifled their laughter. They instead ushered Bastien out of the foliage with their tail. "You, little one, can't run off like that. You scared us." Bastien squeaked at them, eyes round. They used a claw to pat him on the head. "What do we call the Pearlcatcher, o mighty Frir?" Onyx called sarcastically. "Lexa," came a distant reply. Onyx rolled her eyes. "Lexa it is."
