Aqua got annoyed and used her animus powers to free herself. She
turned to face the SkyWings.
Pine watched Aqua free herself with fear. She was worried for what
Aqua might be getting herself into.
Aqua slashed the SkyWings that were taunting her and flew after the
other SkyWings. She was not as fast, since SkyWings are faster, but
she flew as fast as she could.
The skywing who was focused on Aqua chased after her, easily
catching up due to being a skywing. "At least we think dragonets
are adorable!" they said, grabbing Aqua's wings. "I know dragons
who think you guys are gross! Come on we're going to find better
guardians for you guys."
Seal gasped. Better guardians? Did they really think the guardians
were irresponsible?
Aqua freed herself and the other dragonets with magic. She knew
that SkyWings were faster than any other dragon, but it was worth a
try. "Run!" she yelled to the other dragonets.
Pine quickly followed Aqua.
Aqua flew to the ground. She thought that even though SkyWings
could fly fast, surely they couldn't run fast. Pine landed behind
Aqua and shook herself off.
Pine was heading back. On her way there, she saw Grapefruit. She
flew up to Grapefruit. "Grapefruit! Where were you?" she asked with
concern.
Aqua headed forward. She looked around. "Papillion? Seal? Pine?"
she called out, hoping to get an answer.
Aqua had rejoined the group, relieved to be with them again.
"II-m not completely sure but... I did have a theory," Pine
started, and then she started sobbing. "What if the SkyWings
captured her? What if they put her in the arena? We have to do
something about it!" she exclaimed.
Velvet didn't answer the Skywing's question. "Well? What are you
going to do about Sunset?" He asked. "These dragonets clearly want
her back. Where did you take her?"
"That elderly Skywing? She's safe at the Skywing palace." One of
the skywings answered. "Normally the queen would kill any rebels,
but for some reason she spared her."
Velvet glared at the dragonets to stay quiet, but upon hearing
Aqua, the strong silkwing reconsidered things. "If we hand
ourselves over, would these dragonets at least get to see Sunset
before Queen Eagle does anything to her?" He asked, causing Seal to
gasp.
Papillion was surprised. The strongest silkwing he knew, handing
himself to the enemy skywings?
