Abysssight looked closely at the abomination. She was barely able to see the scales of the strange dragon. They were brownish-yellow. A RainWing perhaps? But RainWings usually didn't get stuck in vines. The scales were also unusually dull for a rainwing. She didn't know any RainWings that had dull yellow scales like that. The dragon growled again, it was wriggling itself into all kinds of unnatural positions. "Stupid vines!" It shouted. The viney bundle slowly turned around in it's struggle to escape, by now, she was able to see the dragon's face. It looked weird. It wasn't as small and sharp as a RainWings, but not as strong looking as a NightWing's either. It also lacked the blocky shape of those MudWings she saw. Abysssight slowly stepped back. She didn't want the strange dragon to see her. Quickly she was trying to think of all the other tribes she knew, which didn't help her at all, since she never managed to remember which ones were which. Dawnbringer had tried to teach her about Pyrrhia many times, she just wasn't able to remember them all, nor was she able to picture what they would even look like. Perhaps it wasn't even a Pyrrhian dragon, but these new ones had only arrived in the Ice kingdom a few days ago, did they not? Would one have been able to fly all the way to the Rainforest, on it's own? She didn't know, and honestly, she didn't want to know. The sooner she was away from this place and back at home, the better. What did she care about this stranger? It would get free in no time anyways, and what then? It's a strange dragon! It could be hostile. But somehow, she couldn't bring herself to just leave. She just stood there, frozen behind some greenery. The other dragon seemed to get more and more desperate in its struggle. Abysssight noticed the vines had wrapped on tight around its neck. Didn't it realise that the tightness would only get worse the longer it kept resisting? Abysssight took a deep breath, and slowly walked out of her cover. "Do... do you need help?" She called. She saw the dragon's head turn abruptly. A moment passed, before she heard a raspy, breathless voice say "oh no, as you can see, i'm clearly fine." Abysssight didn't move. That dragon didn't seem fine to her. "That was sarcasm". The dragon rasped. "Please get me out of this mess". She shook her head and approached the tangle of vines and looked closely at how she could get it to loosen the quickest. She took two of the vines and sliced through them with her claws, then took another one and janked on it until it came loose. Not too long after, the entire thing crashed down, and the stranger managed to get out. The dragon shook off the remaining vines, revealing its scales. There weren't any other colours involved, only the various shades of brownish-yellow scales she had noticed before. The dragon was slightly smaller than her, probably a little younger too, but not young enough to be considered a dragonet. Maybe 8 or 9? She inspected the dragon more closely. She had a curved tail that ended in some weird, dangerous looking, tip, and had eyes as dark as a moonless night. She was sure she had heard of a dragon tribe with these features before, she just couldn't remember which one it was. Abysssight noticed the dragon was carrying a few bags around her wrists and neck, one obviously held a knife of some sorts, though she couldn't figure out what the biggest bag was used for. What was she even doing here? Abysssight started to turn around, it wasn't her business anyways, she should just go back home. "Hey, thanks for saving my scales there." Abysssight shrugged her shoulders "No problem", she huffed. It really wasn't that big of a deal. "Before you go, could you show me to the Nightwing Village? It's not like I'm lost or anything. It would just be nice to have someone who knows this place come along." Abysssight looked at the dragon. She didn't exactly want to go back after she ran off like that. But the strange dragon clearly did need help. If not for her, she'd have suffocated. "Euh, sure." she said. The dragon smiled, thanked her, and started walking. Abysssight looked after her. "You know the village is that way, right?" Abyssight said, pointing in almost the complete opposite direction of where the stranger was headed. "Yes, of course I knew that. Going right this way!" Abysssight held in a chuckle, as the dragon almost tripped over a random root sticking out of the ground whilst turning. Her discomfort slowly started to ebb away. For once, she wasn't the odd dragon in the Rainforest. She started following the stranger, feeling heat coming off of her strange, yet oddly beautiful scales. It almost felt like she was trailing after a small sun. It actually felt quite nice. It had been a while since she properly participated in Suntime. Though the heat radiating off the strange dragon's scales wasn't the same as the sun shining brightly on her's, it still was pleasant and calming. The two of them walked in silence for some time, Which Abysssight liked. It was comfortable, not having to talk to this strange dragon. But that comfort would soon be broken. "So, may I know my saviour's name?" The yellow dragon asked. Abysssight let out a small sign "there goes the silence." she whispered to herself. With a more straightened face, that wouldn't reveal how she felt about all of this, she continued. This time loud enough for the stranger to hear. "You can call me Abysssight". She slowly started to pick up speed, hoping she could make it to the NightWing village before the stranger asked any more questions. The dragon followed up on the conversation she'd started. "Well, thank you Abysssight, nice to meet you. I'm Fennec by the way." Before she even realised, a question rolled off her tongue. "What's a fennec?" She asked, then continued to quickly cover her mouth.muttering a silent "sorry" in the process. She knew all dragon's names were based on existing things, but she'd never heard of something named "fennec". Fennec just chuckled. "You must be one of those NightWings that never left their precious secret island. Don't worry, I'm not offended. A fennec's basically a desert fox. You have seen a fox before, haven't you?" Abysssight nodded, even though she really hadn't. Dawnbringer had told her about foxes before, but all she really knew about them were that they were red prey animals that had a similar structure to her Stalker. Which reminded her that she should check on her pet once she brought Fennec to the village. "You're less talkative than I imagined a NightWing to be." The dragon said. "I expected you to be boasting about how great all NightWings were compared to the other tribes by now. At least, that's what my friends say NightWings are like." Abysssight didn't really know how to respond to that. Fennec seemed so calm in her observation. She was almost going to say that she wasn't really a true NightWing, but held that to herself. After all, she wasn't the only one that didn't boast about NightWings. Her thoughts once again going back to her only real friend, guild sipping through her once more "I guess your friends are wrong then." She half muttered to herself. "Oh, of course." Fennec replied, seemingly taken aback

The rest of the way to the NightWing village, the two didn't speak a word. When they finally arrived, Abysssight let out a sigh of relief. Soon, she would be able to stop the formalities and go back to her hut. The only place she really wanted to be right now. The Queen was still in the village, presumably doing queen-related stuff. Some NightWings were gathered around her. As well as a lot of RainWings. She guessed most dragons weren't able to see them, but she had lived long enough with the RainWings to at least learn how to spot them. She didn't recognise any of them though, at least, not when they were practically invisible like this. Fennec turned to her. "Thanks again for coming with me." she said. "Hope i'll see you again." Fennec waved once more at Abysssight before seemingly making her way towards Queen Glory. A part of her was curious as to what the strange dragon was here to do, but a different part of her also couldn't care less. The dragon didn't seem dangerous, so she didn't think the Queen was in trouble. And even if she was, the dragons around her would prolly protect her anyways. Besides, she was a RainWing, she didn't care if something happened to those kind of dragons. She was about to leave when she heard someone call for her. It was Dawnbringer. Great. She'd hoped she could hold off the awkwardness until tomorrow. Abysssight was about to try and leave again, but her friend stopped her. "Please, don't go." She said. "Look, I'm sorry about what happened earlier today. That was insensitive, and I should have realised that sooner. I was just, so excited to show you these new, amazing dragons. I hoped you'd be able to make some more friends." Abysssight gruffed. "I'm capable of making my own friends, you know." She had to admit to herself, Dawnbringer's idea was sweet, and totally something she'd do on a regular basis, but she wasn't some helpless dragonet. She liked Dawnbringer, a lot in fact. But she could sometimes also seriously get under her skin when she did things like this. She saw Dawnbringer glare at Fennec, who by now had reached the Queen, and seemed to be talking to her. "I can see that." She said. "What were you doing with a random SandWing anyways?" SandWing! Of course Fennec was a SandWing. That she wasn't able to think of that herself. "We're not friends. I don't even know her to be honest." Dawnbringer turned her gaze towards Abysssight. "Okay, but, why have you brought her here?" She shrugged. "Found her trapped in some vines. She asked me to bring her to the NightWing village, so I did. Don't know anything else about the situation." Her friend's face started to look concerned. "You didn't ask her why she was here?" Abysssight shook her head. "Why would I? It's none of my business anyways. Besides, you can see she just came to talk to the Queen." From where the two of them were standing, she was unable to hear what Fennec and Queen Glory were talking about. Though she was able to see the Queen's face. Which rapidly switched from confused, to worried, to expressionless, prolly realising she was showing emotions. Suddenly, Queen Glory signed to some of the dragons surrounding her, said something to that NightWing that always hangs around her, and seemed to be headed back the the RainWing village. The invisible RainWings around her started fumbling in an attempt to keep up with her, making it obvious to even the dragons with the worst sight out there that there were disguised RainWings.Some curious NightWings followed her as well. Among them, Abysssight recognised one of the most annoying NightWings there was, an older dragon named Fierceclaws she believed. Not only did that guy lack manners, but he also just gossipped a lot. Like, the moment that guy knew something he wasn't supposed to know, the entire tribe would know. She hated him. You'd think a NightWing named Fierceclaws wouldn't be into that stuff, but clearly, he was given the wrong name by his parents. A few moments passed before the village calmed down again. Most dragons went back to whatever they were doing before, with the exception of a few dragonets, running around wildly, probably playing out whatever they thought just happened. Fennec had surprisingly not followed the Queen. She was looking for something in her shoulderbeg. Once she had whatever she was looking for, she looked around in the village. Her eyes eventually landed back on Abysssight, after which she started to trod back into her direction. "Look, your new friend's coming back". Dawnbringer teased. "Not a friend." she answered back under her breath. She kind of wished she could just leave again, but not wanting to seem completely impolite, she waited for Fennec anyways. "Hi again." the yellow dragon said once she arrived. "Sorry you bother you once more, but I need to deliver this to someone called Stormbreaker? Do you know that dragon?" She pointed at the scroll she was holding. Dawnbringer replied before Abysssight was able to say anything. "That would be my dad, actually. I can give it to him. What's in there anyways?" Fennec seemed to think for a minute. "I'm not sure I'm allowed to share that with anyone besides the receiver." She shrugged her shoulders, and gave it to Dawnbringer. "I'm sure he'll tell you anyways. Doesn't seem like anything that's super secretive." Her friend took the scroll, and looked at the seal on it. "It's a message from the care-centre" She muttered. "Bad news?" Abysssight asked her. Dawnbringer shook her head. "I'd have to read it to know. I seriously hope not. I don't know what we'd have to tell Shadowsong if something happened to his mother or sister too." Fennec looked through her back again. "I think that's it." she said. Abysssight's friend looked at the SandWing. "How'd you get this message by the way?" she asked. Fennec looked at her. "Some RainWing gave it to me when me and some other messengers arrived there, looking for Queen Glory. She told us the Queen had gone to the NightWing village, and gave this to me, saying she was unable to give it to the last messenger that went there." Dawnbringer nodded. "Say, shouldn't you go back to the RainWing village then? I mean, if there are other messengers there." Abysssight questioned her. Fennec just shook her head. "No, I only came with the assigned IceWing because he didn't want to visit the NightWing village if the Queen wasn't in her own village. My part of the job is done, he'll handle the rest of the message. Anyways, i think i might stay for a while, i've never visited the Rainforest before, I don't really have any task right now either. I just need to get back to possibility by the end of the month. Would one of you mind showing me around?" Fennec asked. Dawnbringer didn't wait for a response from her friend, her happy energy seemingly having come back by now. "Of course! Are you coming too, Abysssight?" She shook her head. "I need to check on Stalker." She said, before heading back towards the edge of the village. Besides, she was unsure if she wanted to hang out with Dawnbringer right now, she was still a bit angry about earlier. Her friend shouted after her "Okay, Just know i'll be waiting in front of your door first thing tomorrow! I hate seeing you like this!" Abysssight couldn't help holding in a chuckle, of course she would. She heard the two girls talk with each other when she started heading to her home. She thought about the yellow SandWing. She seemed to be straight forward. She liked that in dragons. She hated having to wonder if they were hiding something from her. It's partly why she and Dawnbringer have been friends for a year now. Fennec also seemed less energetic and all-over-the-place than her friend, which was refreshing. But for some reason, she wasn't sure if she wanted to see her again. It would be nice getting a chance to talk to someone besides Dawnbringer, but she wasn't used to that. She didn't like talking to other dragons more than she had to. Yet a part of her did seem to want exactly that. Abysssight shook her head clear. There's no point worrying about that. She'd just let fate decide and see how she'd handle it then. First, she needed some alone-time with her Margay.
