(im alive sorry I got really sick over the weekend)
Eclipsed walked around a bit worried and zoned out trying to figure out what was happening not even realizing that it was now night time and her stars started slowly appearing and now glowing brightly
(someone can point it out and snap moon out of it)

“The one you have when you’re annoyed.” The half dragon stated obviously, making Hoko twitch his whiskers in amusement. He nudged Beryl’s hand and checked if she was alright, obviously worried.

Aether
She nodded slowly in agreement, quickly formulating answers, parroting some things. “Yes, each light has certain qualities based on factors, both outwards and internal, among other effects such as the metaphysical, both things visible and invisible. As in bright solar light being harder to produce at night, even under the light of a full Queen on Night, or the moon. Or as I said, in a cave.” She confirmed, scratching at her antlers. “Well, you see, I can kind of like, pull the color from the flowers, but they won’t affect the light I produce, just make the light seem to be that color, perhaps. Lunar-shrooms can stand for the moon, but their light isn’t as -how do I put this?- powerful as the moon’s. “ She shrugged, somewhat embarrassed “I don’t mind.”

Beryl

Beryl heaved a wry laugh, tucking a messy strand of hair behind her left ear. “Yeah.. yeah.” She murmured, a small smile forming on her lips. She brushed her hand across the top of Hoko’s head and offered him a reassuring smile. “Hopefully I won’t be cursed with a terrible hangover tomorrow.” The guardian half-joked, sending a sideways glance over at the moon that had recently uplifted itself into the inky black sky.

”Thanks!” was all that left the flat-faced dragon’s parted mandibles as he shoved his brachycephalic head through the bag’s opening and practically devoured all of the treats.

Eclipse snapped out of it remembering that it wasn't them before she looked at herself seeing the stars forming and now completely showing since she was able to think clearly. She then turned to yuri's conversation.
"Sorry I zoned out what are we talking about?" she asked obviously stressed from whatever she had been thinking about before and her eyes were a bit brighter than normal because of her stress level

Yuri
|Nodding slowly once more, the persistent tounge stuck out. |"I think I understand. It would be much more complex than I thought it would be...interesting. What a beautiful technique that would have a varaity of uses."| Smiling gently, his eyes landed upon Moon. |"A-are you alright, miss? You seem, out of sorts. And yes, I am aware of how silly that sounds coming from me, but I am quite worried. We...we were simply discussing Aether's ability to manipulate light."| Flashing Aether a playful glance, he added. |"And how light magic is so EASY to use, hmm?"| Now to Yuri, this was a funny joke. But to most other people, it wasn't really funny. Because well, I mean, read it. The dragon had to smother a laugh, turning it into a sound similar to what a disgruntled chicken might make. Which, to be honest, was probably more funny. |"While we are at it..Miss Moon, how do your powers work, exactly. You say you have visions of the future. Do they always come true? Could you not just live in the future at this very moment, without knowing you ever left the present?"| His tail flicked once or twice as he pondered all of the new thoughts swirling inside his head. Not quite enjoying this discordant feeling, Yuri organized each thought like one might files. Stacking them neatly, alphabetized, and color coordinated. (I do not know how you would do that, but he managed.)|


Cottonmouth & Tumbleweed
|It was a long, long time later by Cottonmouth's reckoning. Sometime in the night, a foul-smelling sack was placed over his head, and he was toted through town before being thrown in a cell. It had been a long time before the hood was taken off. Multiple hours after he was left in the cell, a meal was taken to him. To call it a meal would be an atrocity, it was a slab of "salt bacon" and hardtack. But it was better than he got in the Kore, so he ate it. Many more hours later, in which his bladder was getting uncomfortably full, he was brought out to reprieve right before bring dragged in front of a judge. The entire time the judge was spouting nonsense, accusations and all the shit, Cotton had only one thing on his mind. *Where are you Tumble...* Suddenly, a hammer dropping tore him back into the present. The words "Mr. Arthur Blloth, you are hereby sentenced to be hanged by the neck until hanged this evening. You and that dragon of yours remains will be given to your family in due time. Untill then, may you make your finale peace." seemed to ring like a thousand bells, a sound so loud and yet so quiet it was almost a physical sensation. For some reason, no words came to his lips. This was all going to fast, what the hell was happening? Where even was Tumble? Thats when he saw him. The dragon was below the floorboards, chained down. Clearly, he was awake as smoke billowed out of his nostrils so thick, a few men had to be constantly fanning out of the room. When he met eye contact, a rush of thoughts flush Cotton's brain. A plan, a crazy one, but a plan nonetheless. Cotton wasn't able to say anything in return before he was torn away by angry hands, and thrown back into the meter by meter cell.|

She shrugged, lifting her wings too. “You probably will be.” She sighed, half joking. “Cursed by that cowboy, eh?”. Hoko shook his head, sighing with a cat side eye.

Aether
She resisted the urge to like, bop his head. That tongue made her think of a derpy cat. She, herself, smothered a smile when Yuri tried and failed to make a joke. She somewhat attentively looked at Eclispe.

Eclipse smiled calming down
"Sorry i got confused with what I saw for a second," she said before sitting down
"And no since the future is always changing well at least for when I look myself I can see all the possible paths but I won't know what exactly will happen unless I see a vision that forced itself onto me like when I saw a huge tree falling on our village when I was little I knew that would happen because it was a stronger vision that was clear and I didn't look," she said A bit out of breath
"As for my mind reading I can see anything on your mind any emotions as well along with bing able to slightly see your memories, My stars on my scales glow at night And the ones on the bottom of my wings I can bend and make things with. and I can create a large black smoke screen and our fire is black we where designed to live at night and be able to hide well," she said finishing before remembering something else "Oh and I can invert my wings" she said doing so her wings popping into place

Blue opened her mouth to say your welcome but stopped when they saw the dragon devour the treats " I can get you another bag if you want. Oh and have you seen kestrel? She usually tells me how her patrol went but I haven't seen her"

Yuri
|Outside the window the birds started chirping, and Yuri tilted his head slightly as if to better listen. |"Ahhhhh....it's already morning?"| Draining the rest of the tea from his glass, Yuri sat up and washed the cup in a basin of cold water. Placing it in the windowsill to dry, Yuri Stretched under the warmth of the sun for a few heartbeats. |"The start of another day.....Thank you, Queen, for another sunrise. "| At another glance, he saw it was actually a few hours after sunset. Flicking his tail, Yuri frowned slightly. |"If neither of you mind...I need to do my daily mourning routine...I am already late...."| His horns changed into a slightly violet hue while he bowed and made his way out of the door. Once outside, he went to the opposite side of the lake than he usually did. This area wasn';t bathed in sunlight early in the morning like the other was, but it was more private. And given his company, he decided it better. Bathing in the frigid water, Yuri took handfuls of water and poured it over his entire body starting from his horns. Rubbing his horns, he was slightly shocked to rub off the light fuzz around thee bones. He didn't realise it was already Spring, well he did, but he forgot about this part of it. Sighing, he scrubbed at the horns for a few moments, cleaning off the fuzz and small amounts of blood that came from it. Feeling a little whoozy now, he stumbeled out of the lake before drying of fin the warm sun. As he did so, Yuri meditated and studied his suroundings as he always did. Then, he did his morning "Dance of the Snake and Crane," fully extending and working every single muscle in his body. The entire routine took about an hour to compleate. And when he was done, he made his way to the herb "garden" to pick some veggies and fruits.|

Cottonmouth & Tumbleweed
|Cottonmouth sat in the cell, wishing he had a cigar for his final hours. He had a few short exchanges with Tumbleweed, each one more depressing than the last. There was nothing they could really do, unless they wanted to shoot up half of the town. There was the main problem with the fact that he didn't have Spitter, but also because, you know, ethics? Cotton didn't really want to shoot up a town, especially since that would do wonders with proving his innocense. Sighing, he ground his heel into the sft spot of the door. Unless he had super strenght, or somehow managed to get Tumbleweed into this tiny ass cell, he wasn't getting out. Sighing again, the cowbow attempted to sleep for a while, but his nerves got the better of him. Shifting, he attempoted to get comfortable, but it was exceedingly difficult to when his entire body was scrunched in just a sitting position. Growling, Cottonmouth felt a rapid anger boiling in his chest. He was about to break and start screaming, punching, anything. But then Tumbleweed contacted him, and the anger drained out of them. Tumble wanted nothing more to escape from this hellhole, just like Cotton did. But Tumble knew, raitonally, that unless someone saved them, they would die here. And who would save them, they were the villians. Tumble didn;t want anyone to save them, to have that kind ove leverage. He would rather die like they perscribed, dropped into a river so he could take his last breaths in peace. Cotton raged against this, but Tumble continued to sooth him. Eventually, Cotton fell asleep in Tumble's mental embrace. But Tumble didn't, he stayed awake. Watching billows of smoke burst from his nostrils. For a while, he entertained the idea of burning this entire human place to the ground.|Smiling, he let out another puff of smoke. Even though he knew death was coming, he was joyed that at least it was with Cottonmouth. Sighing, the smoke cleared form his head and he lay, dormant.|

κορακῖνος
|κορακῖνος sat on the edge of his half-broken couch, munching on some ramen. Pouring the seasoning packet over the uncooked noodles, he chomped down on it. About halfway through his meal, he heard the tinkling of tin bells. Mother was calling. Getting up, and discarding the scraps, κορακῖνος made his way slowly into Mama's room. Rounding the corner, he saw Mama sitting on the edge of her bed, trying to get up. |"Whoa! Mama, what are you trying to do, we don't have anywhere to go today!"| Laughing, he grabbed her hands and put them in his lap, cradling her head in his arms. She responded, |"No, remember....Kora....time for school! We have to get you to school, such a smart boy, needs to get big and smart...school."| Attempting to get up again, she was shackled by κορακῖνος strong yet gentle grip. |"Mama....I haven't gone to school in a long time, remember, I'm grown now. I have a job. Remember Greasy's. It's okay mom, I'm here, why don't we go back to bed, hmm?"| Mama looked confused, but allowed herself to be layed back down on the ruffled bedsheets. |"Gooood..."| κορακῖνος soothed, |"You did good, ringing the bell, thank you Mama."| Slowly nodding, Mama laid back down. Within moments, she was asleep again. Forcibly sighing, κορακῖνος slumped into his chair that was right beside her bed. As he sat, his legs twitched and jumped and his hands fiddled with the fraying fabric. He waited until Mama fell deeper into sleep before he got up and threw on some already worn clothes. Stepping out the door, he made sure to grab his wallet and keys. Closing the door gently behind him, he walked down the street. His hunched figure gave him an injured appearance, his limping gait marking him as different and weird right alongside his tail poking out from the rough hole ripped in his jeans. The ocean to his left, he made his way away from it. Further away from the shore, the cheaper the prices. Sighing, he kicked a tin can and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw a message scribbled on one of the slimy, cobblestone walls. *Welcome to Itit, the city of dreams* Funnily, the "dream" part of the sign was crossed out, and replaced with "shit." With a grunt, he continued on his way.|

Eclipse nodded before watching her stars fade away as the sunlight hit her scales
"Well I think I'm going to go and see if I can help the dragon and human thing I saw," she said before darting out the door and flying through the trees to the nearby river flying extremely fast and silently avoiding branches and trees.
She followed the river until the trees stopped before she lept into the river and started swimming her dark scales blending in with the foggy river bottom and she finally found the boat docked and she follows the direction of the footprints and small pieces of hair and other things that led to where the dragon and person who had been taken

Aether
She frowned after Eclipse, a memory swimming in her head. Was it those two? The ones that Yuri helped? She decided to follow Eclipse, absorbing the light into her scales so it couldn’t bounce off, therefore rendering her invisible to all but those with heat vision. She flapped her wings as quietly as she could, and she closed her mind completely, merging with the light

(May aether tag along?)

Eclipse watched the silhouette of a human town up ahead. She then walked up to it slowly staying in the shadows knowing that Aether was following as she had seen right as she left when she check the future all paths that had her leaving the hut Aether followed her. She then saw the town scenting out where the two beings were smelling smoke and sensing their minds she then climbed up a tree over where the 2 were being kept and directed her mind reading into the building now able to sense how many things were there and who was good and bad.
she then hummed for a second from her branch
"You can stop hiding yourself now Aether I know you are there but maybe not completely so the humans can't see you," she said flicking her tail at Aether sending a small stick with leaves on it flying at Aether and bumping her so Aether wouldn't just fly away acting as if she wasn't there.

*You’re a mind reader, so I shouldn’t have to speak or reveal myself.* Aether thought, a bit grumpy. *Seers.* She flapped at the stick, making it seem like a normal branch falling. She set herself down on a branch lightly, barely more than a breeze. She made sure she dropped the note that told Yuri where they had went. If she hadn’t….Yuri probably would be dragging himself into the mental gutter.

"I think you should just watch I'll be back," she said before darting into the place cottonmouth and tumbleweed were being kept hissing out a huge black smoke screen disabling the vision of everyone but herself she then walked over to where cottonmouth was held and easily picking the lock before pick the lock of tumbleweeds cell as well waking them both up before leaping at the guards taking them out quickly and silently locking them in a cell before clearing and area of the thick black smoke screen for tumbleweed and cottonmouth to see
