With Tulip it was easy to do risky stunts because she had gotten used to them. But with now Bandit being there too, Poison had to be careful. She started flying and going some simple tricks.

They were the basics, some manoeuvring and all. Poison didn't dare go upside down, but even with these simple stunts, it was probably Bandit's new time, it was like a dream to him.

Poison let loose a small huff of laughter when she heard Bandit screaming, in joy not fear.

Mission accomplished.

Poison couldn't hold it inside anymore, and it's not she was a new flyer, she could easily catch them if something went wrong. So, she whispered to Tulip to hold on to Bandit, knowing she was now experienced and responsible too.

After receiving confirmation from her companion, Poison closed her wings and her eyes, allowing them to fall freely from the sky. As usual when the floor was nearing them, she reopened her wings and landed perfectly and gracefully.

Poison handed a grinning and still adrenaline filled Bandit over to Winter who was standing a few feet away. He seemed to have been watching them the whole time from his spot.

"You're welcome." Poison shrugged. "Maybe fly him around here and then, it's the most freedom you can give him. Just look at that smile. Worth it, is it not?"

She looked pointedly at Bandit who wasn't even struggling, just lying in Winter's talons with a satisfied look.

"Whatever. Now come on we have class to get to," Winter replied acting like he doesn't care, but Poison could see a very little blush on his snout.

Cute. Poison caught herself thinking. She paused and scrunched her snout up, weirded out by herself. I did not just think that-

Freaked out, Poison started walking away from him but got stopped by Tulip who decided she wanted to keep talking with Bandit. Poison couldn't even say no because both tiny creatures seemed so happy with each other, she couldn't take it away.

Poison cursed herself, mentally scolding herself as she walked in silence next to Winter.

They stopped at Winter's cave first to put Bandit back in his little home. Both girls waved at him, a silent promise to visit him again soon.

"I really should build a cage to put you in when you are being annoying," Poison mused looking at Tulip. She said it in dragon on purpose, but it was like Tulip could sense Poison was saying something she didn't like. In response Tulip started saying something in her language and crossed her arms, pouting on Poison's shoulder.

From her side, Poison heard Winter let out a little laugh at their little exchange. Not able to help herself, Poison turned her head towards him, feigning shock. Actually- she was truly surprised to hear him laugh, but little dramatics never harm much.

"Three moons, I think I witnessed history. The Almighty Winter can laugh? Are you sure you are okay?" Poison asked in concern. To take it up a notch, she touched her forehead, like she was checking his temperature. A weird feeling fluttered in her at the gesture.

Moons, I don't know about him, but I think I might be getting sick. Poison thought, first calling someone cute and then this weird feeling.

Winter smacked her hand away, glaring at her, slightly flustered. "I can laugh!"

He said it in such a pouting yet scolding manner, a huff of laughter escaped Poison.

Winter's eyes softened at the sight. He had a little blush creep onto which made him look really cute.

They started walking to the history cave making small conversations here and there. They were boring conversations, mainly about politics, being royalty and all, but to Poison's surprise there was more to him than just an arrogant princeling.

When they turned the corner leading towards their destination, they found Moon on the floor like she was... like she was having a vision...?

Poison felt a weird dread clog up in her gut and she rushed to Moon's side. She grabbed her shoulder's forcing her to look at her even though Moon looked like she was miles away from them.

"Hey, hey. Look at me. Moon. Moonwatcher. Hey, I'm here. You have me right here. Hey, Moon look at me, I'm here with you." Poison kept on repeating this, even if she couldn't hear her. Poison had grabbed her talon and placed it on top of her own heart, hoping at least the rhythmic beating would help in anyway.

Poison was so caught up in making sure the Moon was fine, she didn't notice the others gathering around them.

"POISON! The cave is going to explode, and Tamarin is in there!" Poison heard Tulip speak- no she heard Tulip yell at her.

She turned her head towards Tulip so fast, she was shocked she didn't break her neck.

"STOP LOOKING AT ME AND GO!"

She broke out of the trance she was in and started dashing towards the history cave. She pushed Carnelian aside and wrapped her wings around Tamarin, who she found hiding behind a bookshelf.

She heard dragons shouting her name, but they were muffled by the explosion that went off. All she saw was black.

~Third person POV~

~Dream Starting~

"Hey Princess, wake up. I have a surprise for you!" A mustard scaled SandWing entered his little sister's room with a present hidden behind him.

A little pastel yellow dragonet, no older than 2-3 months old poked her head out of the bed covers.

"Whads a pwineess?" the little SandWing asked, her black eyes swirling with curiosity.

"Well, a princess is a beautiful dragonet filled with curiosity and innocence, just like you." He scooped up the little dragonet placing her on his shoulders.

"Eeek! Bubba! Pud ee don!" the pastel yellow dragon squealed from the sudden action bursting into giggles.

"Fine but open your gift."

He watched in anticipation as his little sister opened the gift carefully, like she was afraid to break whatever was inside.

The said dragon's eyes widened as she found a black ring in the middle, just the perfect size for her.

"B-bubba, e dis m-mie?" She lifted her head allowing her older brother to see tears gathering in her eyes.

"Yes princess, do you like it?" He asked, afraid that she didn't like his gift.

Instead of answering the dragonet jumped on top of her brother, clinging to him like a spider monkey.

"I LOBE ID!"

~Dream Ending~

~Poison's POV~

Poison woke up sweating from the hidden memory she had of her and Mercury. It had been months since she had such a vivid memory repeating in her head.

This was one of the first memories Poison had of her brother.

Her body was aching from pain she couldn't remember of. Her mind was too preoccupied to recall the moments before darkness hit her.

She turned her gaze the black ring on her finger, the first ever gift she had received. A burning ache filled her chest, enough to make the strongest of dragons cry. She was only 6 months old when he died- no. When he was murdered.

She stared at the moons outside, her vision blurring as she whispered three simple words. She helplessly prayed they would reach his ears in the stars even though she knew it was impossible.

"I miss you..."

T.W - The next few sentences had been written by my old cringe self, proceed at own risk.

HOW THE HELL DOES TULIP KNOW THE CAVE WAS GONNA EXPLODE?!

Tulip: Simple 'cause-

Me: TULIP! DON'T. YOU. DARE!

Tulip: Ok! Ok! You were the one who asked!

Me: Yeah, and your point is? *Looking at my nails*

Tulip: WhAtEvEr! *Leaves with a cute pout*

Me: Aw! Your so cute!

Tulip: I am NOT cute!

Me: Yeah, your right. You're not 'cute', you're 'ADORABLE'!

Tulip: *Flips me off*

Poison/Qibli/Unimportant people: *Snickering in the background*
