Lotus looks at Autumn and Aloe and smiles,but it turns into a
frown,she sighs "Aloe, It's time I tell you what happened to me and
your father. I wanted to tell you this,but I couldn't find you.me
and your father were being attacked by poisionwings when I had you
when you were little.I have a twin sister named Rosa,I wanted to
keep you safe,so I told my sister to give you to my icewing friends
to take care of you, my twin sister was killed by a poisonwing,but
you must have thought it was me that was killed. I actually fought
against the poisonwings,your father was stabbed by a poisonwing,but
he luckily survived. you thought you had lost us.but me and your
father were looking for you to finally see you again"
Aloe hugs his mother "I was difficult to find me, wasn't it?" he
said in a sad tone
Lotus had a tear in her eye "It was" Lotus looks at Autumn "Autumn,
I met your father once.he was a friend of mine,his name was Aspen.
he had his eye ripped out from a hivewing named fulgorid.he told me
to protect you. I ran away from fulgorid.but, I couldn't find your
father after that" Lotus couldn't handle the sadness,she hugged
Aloe and Autumn and started crying
Autumn:*The young LeafWing's wings droop onto the ground
as she hears what Lotus tells her. She stares at the other dragons
next to her in confused silence for a few moments, trying to
process the new information.* ...My father went missing?
...I-I can't-- ...How?... *Something flashes in her eyes: an
unusual glimmer of fierce disbelief mixed with denial. She whips
around to face Lotus directly, and thorns spring up on the ground
around her talons.* You can't be serious. He's fine. Aspen is
fine. He has to be fine, he has to!
Frostbite:*Frostbite glares at Toucan, blushing with
embarrassment at the thought of looking like something as normal as
lightning frightened him. Stargazer giggles at his attempt
to hide his uncertainty.* I'd rather enjoy not getting
incinerated by a lightning bolt, thank you very much.
Nightmare:*The enormous NightWing shivers and twitches
in his sleep, his dreams plagued with nightmares about killing
dragons he loves and having blood on his claws, and he mumbles
every now and then about it.* N-no, Bloodmoon, d-don't make
me-- I don't want- Please... *Stargazer puts her talon to
her head, unable to avoid seeing and hearing his night terrors as
she hisses through her teeth and staggers back. Frostbite quickly
rushes to her side, helping her stand up as she tries (but fails)
to regain her composure.*
Stargazer: Poor Nightmare. H-he's- ow- Having a
really hard time sleeping soundly.
Lotus has a worried look on her face. She hugs Autumn "Sweetie,
please be okay. Your father would be fine. I just, couldn't look
for him after I ran away from fulgorid"
Aloe hugs Autumn "everything will be alright My love" Aloe blushed
"I......'
Autumn: ...*She stands motionless and doesn't react, but
it's unclear whether she's processing information or just very
confused. The thorns have grown into vines now and start to wind
around her talons, not hurting her, but still slightly digging into
her scales. Stargazer slumps forward with her talons around her
face and Frostbite tries to help her up, clearly worried about her
(and also Nightmare, if his dreams are responsible for her
headache.)*
*Stargazer suddenly stares forward blankly, unsure what she's
feeling. Frostbite looks at her with visible concern as she stares
for a moment longer before standing up and sighing with
relief.*
Stargazer: Nightmare's not dreaming anymore. He's still
asleep, but he's not feeling too good. I hope he's doing better
than his dreams seem to say. *Shudders*Moons, there
was a lot of blood...
Autumn:*Autumn snaps out of her fugue state and tries to
step back in surprise at Aloe kissing her on the mouth...* Agh!
*...And then panics when she realizes that the thorny vines are
basically keeping her "rooted" in place and starts fluttering her
wings in alarm.*Agh! Get these things off me!
Aloe panics for a bit as he kissed Autums mouth.but he snaps out of
it as he sees the vines trap Autumn. Aloe nips at the vines.he
winced with pain as the sharp thorn touch his mouth .but Aloe kept
biting the vines to free his girlfriend. He eventually bites the
vines in half and frees Autumn "you're welcome, honey" Aloe hid his
face with his wings.her blushed with embarrassment
"I-I-........."
Lotus smiled when Aloe kissed Autumn.she starts giggling a bit.
Lotus removes the vines away from Autumn
Blackberry giggled at Frostbite for a moment, then she looked at
Stargazer.
(In Blackberry’s mind: “should I… excuse me, should we
surprise Autumn with a gift? And don’t forget Aloe too!”)
Blackberry paused, waiting for an answer then hoping nobody else
could hear her.
*Autumn giggles nervously and stares at the dragons by her as
she kicks away a piece of vine. Stargazer hears Blackberry address
her and straightens up, not entirely sure if she's the one being
asked.*
Stargazer: You mean me? S-surprise them with what?
Aloe stops blushing and looks at Autumn "should we get back to the
others?" Aloe feels the rain "oh! it's raining" Aloe covers Autumn
with his wings to prevent her from being wet "you'll be dry under
my wings"
Lotus covers her son and Autumn from the rain with her huge wings
"I suppose we should be with the others" she looks at Autumn "do
you want to go back to the others?'
Autumn:*Autumn steps out back into the rain, spreading
her wings to try to catch as much as possible and lying down after
growing some soft moss under herself.* Thanks, but I'd like to
sit in the rain. It's... calming.
Frostbite:*Frostbite brings Stargazer under the tree he
was sitting under and sits down next to her.* You alright?
Aloe laid down next to Autumn.he puts a wing on her back "Autumn,
you made me the dragon I am today. I love you so much"
Lotus felt sympathetic joy "awwwwww, my sweet Aloe loves his
girlfriend. I hope to be a grandmother soon" lotus winked at Aloe
and Atumn "good luck" she whispers to Aloe
Aloe blushes,then he looks at Autumn.he nuzzles her with affection
Stargazer, to Blackberry: We don't have the ingredients
to bake a cake, though.
Autumn: *She looks at Aloe and smiles a little, then looks
forward.* I can't believe this dragon actually likes me this much.
Most other dragons think I'm just insecure and weirdly colored and
shy. ...Well, most other LeafWings, anyway. I mean, I guess
I am a bit shy, but not when other dragons actually care
enough for me not to have to be. I think? Feelings are too
confusing. And what does Aloe mean that I made him the dragon he
is? I haven't known him for more than maybe a few weeks,
tops.
Stingray's POV
Stingray: Is that her...? Gotcha! *Stingray
finally manages to find Axolotl and leaps onto the shore, getting
sand in her face by accident, but she just shakes it off.*
Aloe had an idea. he grows many variations of flowers.he flies up
and looks down at the flowers. the flowers have made a double
portrait of Aloe and Autumn together,it shows them hugging each
other, it had two halves of a heart on the two. the two halves of
the heart were combined together to make a full heart. Aloe signals
Autumn to fly up with him to see the double portrait
Toucan whispered to Blackberry.
(Blackberry’s mind: “do you think they would like some sort of cute
rings or bracelets? I have a bracelet and ring making kit that I
can go grab.” )
Stargazer, to Blackberry: Rings seem like a bit much.
But, I-I mean, they might like bracelets! I know Autumn
would...
Autumn, flapping upward: What is Aloe showing me-
Woah! *She sees the flower portrait and is so surprised that
a daffodil starts winding around her talons. Frostbite is visibly
hiding his eyes from the bright colors of the flowers, which makes
her giggle.*
Autumn: I-it's-- It's so beautiful- I-I don't know what to
say-
Axolotl's POV
Axolotl:*Axolotl turns to face Starfruit and flaps her
wings.* Come on, Starfruit! Let's go say hi to the others!
Stargazer will be glad to see you're back.
Blackberry went to grab the kit, she came back quickly, she hid
behind a tree and made two identical bracelets, they had “A&A”
written on them, she walked to Autumn and Aloe.
“Hey! I have a gift for you two!” She said, hiding the bracelets.
