Yuri
|Yuri picked some wild berries, wincing as he felt their link to the life smother and die out, like a wicked candle. Placing all of the plants in the basket, he waddled home, trying to walk on two legs while balancing a none to light basket in the other two. Finally making it, he dropped the basket in the doorway of his humble abode. When he poked his head through the door, they were gone. Shocked for a few seconds, he felt the smile on his lips drop. Sighing, Yuri backed out of the door and stepped on something crinkly. At first, he thought it was a bug or the sort. But it was actually what looked like a hastily scribbled note. Reading it put a smile back on Yuri's muzzle. Whistling a tune, Yuri went to work preparing a thick, buttery dough. Combining milk and flour, with a healthy amount of butter and a sprinkle of salt and sugar. He then proceeded to knead it while starting a small fire. After a while of kneading, he prepared a berry mixture and cooked it in a small pan on low heat until the berries bled and mushed together. When it was gently steaming, he added honey and a secret ingredient before setting it aside. Constructing a lattice was the next thing he did, before buttering a small crinkle edged dish and sprinkling some flour onto it. With a few minutes of flurried movements, Yuri had constructed a beautiful looking Wildberry pie. Putting a metal cover on top, he buried his construction underneath layers and layers of warm applewood coals. Padding a small distance away, he sat down and meditated nearby for a time. After a while, he dug it up and spun it around a few times before adding butter on top and reburying it. Soon, the beautifully tart smell perforated through the air, despite a gentle breeze. . A small while later, he unburied it and placed it on a window sill to cool. While he was waiting, he picked up one of the books he had gotten from the library a few days ago. Then, suddenly, he set it down. With slow, measured steps he made his way to the grave of the deer. Staying a good few feet away from the corpse, he saw the evidence of many a teeth. Bowing, he returned back to his home where he picked up the book again, curled luxioursley on a padded cushion in the sweetened air and read. |


Cottonmouth & Tumbleweed
| Cottonmouth was asleep when he felt a precense enter his mind. His first thought was panic, but he soon relaxed under the none to gentle, but familiar, Tumbleweed. Snaping awake, he threw his hat back on and glared at the door with piercing, venom filled eyes. He could hear it now, the gentle swoosh of air, the flap of a wing. Someone was here. How? No one knew where they were, no one but the judge and the jury. He didn't remember anyone from the jury, and he aint ever seen the judge before, so he had no idea who this was. Just by that information, he could tell this was a magic creature. A strong sense of anger and a mixture of relief and a little bit of trepidation flew through his system. Standing tall in the small cell, he threw open the door as soon as the jingling stopped, and ran out. Coughing in the thick black smoke, he waited until it dissipated to speak. Well, not speak. Cotton yelled. |"Who the hell are yew!"| Staring at the dragon with a hostile glare, he was soon joined by Tumble, who crawled out of his cell like a demon from hell. Clutching the metal grate with his claws and pulling himself up with the beautiful sound of metal scraping, no, screeching against metal. Tumble spoke next, |"What this is? A jailbreak, aint you a Gaurdian, aint this illegal?"| Shaking his head, he spat out |"We had a PLAN, so we didn-"| before being interrupted by Cotton. |" They saved us, you damn fool, questions and accusations later. Now, we fly!"| Clambering up on Tumble, he managed to grab his gun, Spitter, but naught else. The weapon had been laying on the table right outside his door. A very stupid decision, but the pig-headed judge didn't seem like the smart type.|

She shook her head in disappointment, noting how rude they were. Mayhaps…well, it didn’t matter. She sat there quietly, looking like thin air. She simply observed, leaving Eclipse to enact her own plan. She hoped Yuri didn’t mind that they left. She thought she smelled something sweet back where Yuri was, but maybe it was just a illusion.

(i am so sorry for the delayed responses everyone !! hope yall don’t mind if i throw chiyo at yall now (i know aether and eclipse arent there atm) since i had totally forgotten to)

Chiyoryō

---

The kirin, instead of sauntering back to her residence during the previous night, fell asleep atop giant, mossy boulders that encircled a massive oak tree.

The hoofed dragon jolted awake when she felt quick pangs of pain shoot right through her. When Chiyo’s eyelids flung open, her visuals met with those of a curious robin’s. A small smile cracked on her mandibles, and before she could even form a single word inside of the whirlwind that posed as her mind, the little avian took flight in a panicked manner.

The grin that once illuminated Chiyoryō’s scaly face etched itself away and was soon replaced with a frown. “Huh. Must be my karma for what I did yesterday..” The hoofed dragon murmured, heaving herself up to her cloven hooves and gave her lithe stature a vigorous shake. Afterwards, she then began her journey back home, making sure not to trample any more plants.

On the way to her home, she stumbled upon an odd-looking.. construction of some sorts. Must’ve been a home for someone. Wanting to get a closer look of the details the home showed, the curious Kirin drew a few steps forward, her elongated caudal appendage swishing from side to side.

Forevertail

Forevertail hadn’t heard Blue’s initial response from the loud crunching noises, but immediately froze when he heard her mention the being he was bonded to, Kestrel. Lifting his head out of the bag, they locked gazes with the spirit. “No.. I haven’t, surprisingly.” The stormcutter responded.

Eclipse smirked
"Nope but it's not very fair for you guys to be brought in by 𝘏𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴," she said growling out the last word on the verge of a completely different language resentment glowing in her eyes for a brief second before she cleared the smoke around the two again and walking into the area
"I came in through the window but we might have to semi-destroy the building to get both of you out its best if cotton comes on my back so I can get him through the way I came without him getting hurt and tumbleweed you can probably just break through the roof," she said before realizing knowing their names might be weird
"Oh and I forgot to mention I can read minds and see the future so sorry if I say something weird like me using your names already, and we might want to go before they wake up nobody knows you escaped yet but they will alert everyone soon enough," she said before motioning to the guards she had knocked out and locked in an empty cell.
"Oh and you can call me either Eclipsed or Eclipse but my full name is Eclipsed Moons, oh and here," she said throwing them each a wet mask-like thing "It's probably best if you don't inhale my smoke screen," she said hearing someone trying to open the door to this building.

|Reading Boi.|

Cottonmouth & Tumbleweed
|Both of the boys mouth were wide agape, This dragon sure liked to talk, and when she talked, me made about as much sense as a fox in a fit. At the mention of leaving Tumble's side, Cottonmouth frowned. |"What do you mean, Hunters? They were bounty hunters, jus like us! And I aint leaving Tumble to ride some......weirdo...like yew."| Tumble snarled agreement, rolling his shoulders gently underneath Cotton's comfortable weight. |"We been riding since I was shittin diapers. We fine."| Instead of grabbing the...moist cloth, he pulled up his handkerchief that always rested around his neck. Tumbleweed simply growled deep in his chest before setting his shoulder in a charging stance. Racing forward, the dragon crashed into t building accompanied by a yelp from Cottonmouth. Tumbling out of the door, Tumbleweed soon got his feet after bashing through the thin wooden walls. Seconds later, he was high in the air. On his back, Cottonmouth desperately clutched to the neck spikes of Tumbleweed, cursin and yellin, |"What the hell you thinking! Yew could have been hurt, And I could've died yew damn fool!"| Tumbleweed just laughed, whooping as he did cartwheels in the sky, celebrating his own freedom.|

κορακῖνος
|κορακῖνος sighed as he staggered up the narrow, crowded streets. After a brief walk, he made it to the top of thehill, this was where the "maggots squirmed", as he liked to say. All of the poor workers crawled over each other for work, lining the streets were pickpockets, and on the streets were families of every size. Ducking and diving through the croud of flesh, he eventually made it to Greasy Burger, where he worked. As he went through the door, he was assaulted by the sour grease spell he would be smelling for the next nine hours. Groaning, κορακῖνος clocked in and threw on the filthy apron before starting the meticulous process of flipping burgers. Hours and hours of sitting in front of a grill, slipping the burgers and laying a cheese resembling liquid on top. *How did it come to this? Im stuck in some shithole, with no money, no future. Struggling eternally against the system. Bah.*|

Eclipse shook her head at cottons thoughts
"You could be polite about me just saving you," she said before darting up through the window she came through and breathing out more of the black smoke as she flew it slowly sinking and blocking the view of anyone below she then followed the two for a bit signaling at aether that she could follow.
"I don't think cotton knew that a dry cloth wont really do much of anything against my smoke screen," she huffed following them slowly before giving up and darting up and within seconds being next to the two easily keeping pace
"You know it's quite rude to not thank someone for saving your asses," she said a slight growl hidden in her voice.

She raised an eyebrow at Eclipse’s comment. “Can’t you just read the future? You should already know about this, no? Or is this some sort of post-humorous complaint?” She didn’t wait for an answer, as she had something on her mind. She needed to check Cotton and Tumble’s trajectory, as she would really prefer if they didn’t get too close to Yuri.
She just flew up along with Tumble, careful to not let her wings hit tumble, nor the wind from flapping. She glided near them, completely shielding herself from sight, not that closely. She just wanted to check where they were flying to, just in case.

Eclipse sighed for a second
"I can see multiple paths of the future its only sure when the vision has forced itself upon me there was a chance they would but a chance they wouldn't," she said huffing.
"Hey cotton wanna come back with me to my friends hut," she asked seeing it wouldn't cause any major problems maybe a bit of bickering.

|Yuri read for a while, his tail flicking every time he finished a page. He was so absorbed in the text, he didn't pay attention to anything around him. Oblivious, was an understatement. His hands gently grasped the book, teach page with so much tenderness, it hardly creased the pages. His horns were full aglow, a bright pink color that just radiated a happy feeling.|

Cottonmouth & Tumbleweed
|The duo gave the dragon a weird look for multiple seconds, both of them looking starkingly similar. |"Jus because you saved us, from a situation that we could have saved ourselves from no less, doesn't mean we friends. I would drop that tone."| Shaking his head slowly, Cotton rubbed Tumble's shoulders as he flew, focusing on the weaker left side. After a minute or two, he spoke again. |"Nah, we aint goin to your place. Aint no point in it. We got our own hime, and we most likely flyin off in a day or so. This aint the place for us, obviously."| Cotton laughed, and Tumbleweed rolled his eyes. The desert dragon was glowering at the moon one, his tail flicking lazy arks in his path. This wasn't a very hostile glower, more like an annoyed glower. As Tumble couldn't bring himself to be angry, only annoyed that they were rescued. Resettling his shoulders, the dragon set his jaw and continued flying. Ignoring the ever-increasing pain in his shoulder. He blocked these thoughts form his link, so that Cotton wouldn't feel it. Cotton felt something, but it was a tiny twinge compared to the wing faltering pain Tumble was enduring. Sighing, Cotton reached into the pack on Tumble's back and grabbed the canteen. Drinking the last mouthful, he threw it back in the pack. Tumble gave him a mental image.|"I don't know how long you two are gonna follow us, but it aint needed."| A flash entered his gaze, either of contempt or of some other emotion was hard to tell.|

Eclipse sighed for a second a black flame darting out of her mouth before looking at tumbleweed
"Says the one who is obviously hurt and hiding it from his friend," she said feeling a bit petty now that she was dealing with one of the worse paths
"Also I suggest being more careful about what you think around a mind reader and especially one who could see the future, in which about 2/3s of the paths you died in very gruesome ways and even if you escaped without my help one of you might've gotten killed or obtained a serious injury that would disable you," she said anger in her voice now as she thought of all the different things that could've happened amount the thousands of different possibilities Her eyes glowed brighter through her third eyelid as she felt her anger strengthen and she slowly checked the future to calm herself she saw in many of the paths tumbleweeds wing started to give out because of the injury
"I would land before you worsen your shoulder," she said her tone now completely calm mimicking the way Yuri calmed himself

She shrugged, now having confirmed what she needed to, before realizing she was invisible. Oh, well. She did a few loop de loops, and then dived straight down, pulling up at the last moment. She glided over the grass, feet skimming the top, as she headed toward Yuri’s hut. However, she changed her mind and then flapped her wings, heading up. She stared wistfully toward the sweet smell, but decided to perch on a tree. This was…interesting in a way.

Cottonmouth & Tumbleweed
|Cottonmouth's gaze trembled for a second, letting a brief flash of light through. For a second, the lead tough cowboy became brittle, and he looked upon his partner with genuine concern. |"What the hell you doin?"| At first, Cotton thought the moon dragon was lying, why wouldn't she? But what she said was true, if he peirced the wall tumble was putting up, he could feel the pain in his partner's wing. He knew exactly where it was, and almost felt it himself, despite, you know, being a human without wings. Tumble simply scoffed, then growled. A deep warning growl from the depths of his fire filled belly.|"Don be hidin shit from me, you piece a crap. Get down now!"| Whacking the dragon's other shoulder, he yanked on the horns atop the dragons skull. Growling, Tumble obliged, and within a minute or so, landed heavily upon the soft forest floor with a mighty crash. His strong legs absorbed the thunderous blast, but Cotton wasn't so lucky. The cowboy was hurled from the saddle and ended up on his ass. |"Damnit Tumble! Couldn't make a softer landin! I could've been jilled by one of them spikes you got."| Despite his harsh talk however, Cotton rubbed his sore cheeks for only a moment before limping lightly over to check on his friend. Tumble was frothing slightly at the jowls, his chest heaving as if from rough execration. His left wing was held at a rough angle, almost parallel from his body. The long claws on the end of his wing was the only thing keeping it up. With a worried frown, Cotton went to fussing about him, to which Tumble responded with a grumpy growl. |"Damn you, lizard. Hide something from me again and ill carve you up for supper."| Growling himself, Cotton continued to work; a rudementary effort, but a wholehearted one, nonetheless. |


sorry for my many days absence. I have been spending it with my mother as this mothers day might be one of her last//

Eclipsed pulled a spiky herb from her wing pouch pulling the gentle flowers off it a slight shiver going down the stem before it turned into a powder. She then crushed the flower into the powder turning it into an ointment quickly. She then put it on a leaf the smooth ointment shimmering obviously not harmful.
"Put this on the injury it'll help it heal faster," she said remembering when she first found out how to make it a couple of days after she escaped from the hunters that took her friend.

Cottonmouth & Tumbleweed
|Cottonmouth shot her one of his trademark glares before turning back to Tumbleweed and unholstering Spitter. Flicking the drum out, Cotton yanked out a cartridge and re-spun Spitter before tossing it upon the ground at his feet. Biting off the bullet, he revealed the gray powder inside. Pouring said contents out, he sent Tumbleweed a mental warning, before lighting a match and setting it on fire with an explosive pop. Within seconds, the cut on Tumble's shoulder sizzled close with the scent of burning scales. tumble's only response was a wince. Cotton then hopped up onto the dragon's back and pulled the wing back into place. |"heh, you big baby! Twas simply out of place, most likely from being pinned in a weird angle. Jus a scratch."| Tumble made a weird rumbling sound. It wasn't growling, ye tit was at the same frequency. Almost an annoyed keening sound, like a dog would make. Just obviously louder and deeper. Thrashing Cotton off, he clambered onto the man and sat on him. Sitting tall and proud for a few moments, despite Cotton's...displeasing comments...he suddenly seemed to realize the moon dragon was still there. Abruptly getting off, Tumbleweed gnawed at the claw at the end of his wing. |"Feeling better, you damn lizard. Bout near broke my back."| Coton spat this, but he didn't seem mad from the outside. Rubbing his spine, he turned around and with an even gaze, stared at the moon dragon. |"We don't need you, yew can go. Stop stalkin us, you damn lizard."| funnily, the insult he used sounded much kinder when it was directed at Tumble.|
