More on nightstream :D
Chapter 20
Shadow had stayed up all night thinking trying to find a reason to stay...other than Teza, and he couldn't. Closing his eyes shadow decided to try and track that mass of shadows he had fought. Early into the night after the other shadow dragon he come to him. He couldn't decide what to do and it was frustrating him...and breaking his heart.
While Shadowheart stewed in his own self loathing, to the north A trio of dragons flew towards the great wind dragon city of Wind Scar. Marshal was leading the group flanked by Nightstream and his brother Slipstream. Marshal Had been forced to take up the mantle of wind guardian....in the absence of Arrow. A job he did not want. So he flew staring at the amulet that signified his status, not with hatred or loathing...it was a look Slipstream couldn't put his paw on just yet.
"oh come on Marshal, quit mopping and but a grin on your face...your the wind guardian...you know how many female will be fawning over you?" Slipstream said and ended up getting tail slapping by Nightstream, "for once act like your mated Slipstream or I will tell Tsunami!" Night threatened and a look of horror appeared on Slip's face, "you wouldn't!" "oh I would little brother." Slipstream grumbled the rest of the way there making Nightstream grin triumphantly.
Rolling his eyes Marshal chuckled unable to keep a smile from his lips from their antics. Motioning for them to follow closely Marshal banked left and lighted down on a cliff known as the northern wall by the people of wind scar fief. "hey Marshal are we not in a hurry?" Slipstream asked. "We are...but this is the best spot to see the city...and it's best your not flying when you do see it." Marshal said to them both looking up at the cloudy sky, and like he thought..the clouds began to part. The brothers looked at each other and qould look where marshal was when the city began to slide into view. The clouds moving back like a veil of fog being pulled acrossed it. The outer wall and towers were the first to come into view, but the brother's noticed something... There was no ground underneath the city!
Both of the brothers looked up to see the clouds revealing the city it's self. The city's buildings looked like they had been designed to look like spires of various heights and shapes. Along the city's walls and through out Wind Scar it's self there were massive wind element soul gems glowing in the noon day sun. Then the clouds pulled back completely from the city to show the Citadel where the royal families of Wind Scar lived. The building looked like a massive castle designed to attract attention. It's pointed spires stood higher than most of the city it's self, but one tower stood higher than all in the Citadel. At it's peak a Wind soul gem shined brighter than all the others as the horn of Wind Scar shook the ground and the air around it. Wind scar the legendary flying city of wind dragons floated before them in all of it's glory!
Both brother stood there awestruck by the flying city. It looked so damn close but it was an illusion due to the sheer size of the city. Nightstream would reach over to his brother while slip did the same and at the exact same time they close each other's mouths as they were hanging agape from the sight of Wind Scar.
Marshal spread he wings as he stood before the brothers, "come...we're flying to the city....Only wind dragons can do so." Marshal stated before launching himself into the air flying for the great city. Still shocked the two brothers stood dumb founded before shaking their heads and flew after their new teacher. As they got closer to the city they could make out the Massive statues of the previous kings and queens of the city carved into the walls beyond lift size. The city's walls were three times what Warfang had, the city living right up to it's nick name....The City of Giants.
Landing on the entrance platform the brothers look about seeing the hustle and bustle of the city. Surprisingly there were earth, fire, lightning and other element oriented dragons living or visiting the city. There were special elevators using wind soul gems to bring up trade goods, crops, and other things the city needs to live on, to stay prosperous. It was amazing as wind dragons flew through the gates at high speeds or just dove from the walls. It was the most amazing sight they could have ever known! "Amazing...isn't she fellas?" Marshal asked them smirking knowingly as the two of them nodded in agreement at the exact same time once again.
"well come along boys. We've got a long walk to the Citadel." Marshal told them, while he walked towards the gate. Thirty minutes later the trio were still walking along the outer wall to find the main road that would take them right to the citadel. "Please stop! I'm only trying to get money to feed myself..." Came a frightened female voice upon the wind...like it had been purposefully directed to to Nightstream. "I will not stop you little freak! your kind are not welcome here LEAVE!" came the tones of a earth dragon, "god damn racists." Nightstream snarled before walking right to the group he heard the voices come from. Slip stream went to stop him but marshal stopped him by throwing a paw in his way, "but-" Slip started to say but Marshal gave him a look and shook his head.
Nightstream forced his way through the crowd to find the earth dragon slapping a Wyvern...about his age. "I said get lost you little parasite!" he snarled at her and moved to slap her again wind Night slammed his fist into the side of the dragon's head tossing him away from the Wyvern, while night Stood over her protectively. "You bitter coward...Why must you cause misfortune on some one who can't or won't defend herself?" He growled at the earth dragon, "it's not of your problem you wind brat! So stay out of it! her kind fought along side Malefor why should we-ack!" The earth dragon said when he was cut off by Nightstream grabbing his throat suddenly, "you condemning her for something her ancestors did is the lowest of the low your kind shouldn't be allowed to be in this city....now got lost."
A patrol of wind dragon guard flew along the outer wall keeping a eye to the ground as per their job when a screaming mass of brown scales flew past them tumbling in the air...it was the earth dragon that Nightstream had confronted. "you think he's gonna be okay?" one guard asked, "pfff he's gonna be fine, though he's gonna have a hell of a time getting back up." Said another.
Snorting in satisfaction Nightstream turned to the Wyvern he just helped and smiled to her...and to her he seamed like the most regal and handsome dragon she had ever laid eyes on...despite his scars. "you alright?" he asked her with a gentle smile watching her and she nodded, "mhm...thank you to sir." She whispered in a shy tone making Night chuckle as he patted her head, "names Nightstream." He told her gesturing her to follow the group he was with...and follow she did all though a little awkwardly from the way her body was built. Melody the wyvern couldn't help herself....but She had a crush on Nightstream...and he was oblivious to it.
The group made their way to the citadel to tell the king his heir was dead...and he'd need another...it was daunting...But marshal had to do it...
