Arcane stirred, his hatchling form trembling from the battle. White eyes stared at his paw, trying to make sense of things. His attention was redirected to the source of paws as black and orange dragons both moved up to him, the black trembling as...
21- Corruption of Minds
Sithris winced in pain as he helped up the unstable fire dragon. The Black drake had been forcing them to take the trip slowly, dreading the knowledge that his friend was on borrowed time. Each morning, Sithris would help Rift stand, only for his paw...
20- Rehabilitation
"Please Rift, I need you to pull out of it. Silvus needs you. Kara needs you. I need you..." Rift was in complete darkness, a weird floaty feeling surrounding him. His wings were flapping, telling him that he was flying. His surroundings flashed. ...
19- Shattered Reunion
Rift stepped into the grassy floor of the forest. He let the portal close as he let out a sigh. The dragon began making his way through the woods, following the faint scent of his friend. I should have never let her near him. * * * Sithris...
18- Forbidden Fire
Rift jumped up and stretched his neck, the skin of the dragonfruit lay on the ground. Although he was still worn out, his energy was at full power. He sat back down and looked at Silver. "..And then I flew here." Silvus sat there, pondering all...

Sithris pulled his head out of a pond in the cave, washing his mouth out, shuddering. Removing the large spider's hairs out of Rift's eyes had left him feeling sick and puking. He didn't understand his friend. With as much pain as Rift was in and his...
