Dragon Tribes discussion

Main territory

Wolf landed in the middle of the camp, his torn wings folding into his back.

Not long after Wolf's landing, Deity, too, landed, folding her black wings to her sides. The light caused her to blink, but only for a few moments. She yawned once more and looked over at Wolf.

((Sorry, gotta go now. Sorry that was short, but we can continue later. :) ))

Wolf stared back at Deity, eyes narrowing. "Don't you have some apprentices to train?"

She narrowed her eyes. "You wish. I'm still a 'hatchling," remember?"

Wolf nodded. "Ah. Well, you seem much older than a hatchling to me,"he growled smoothly.

Deity growled a bit. "Only a few more years though, thankfully."

Wolf nodded. "I see. Well, would you like a few lessons?"

She shuffled her wings. "I guess it wouldn't hurt. I don't have much left to learn, really." Deity looked at the other dragon.

Deity shrugged. "No." Her eyes looked to the sky as her brother, Zero, descended from the sky to land amongst them.

Wolf took to the sky. "C'mon then!"

She acknowledged her brother before following Wolf to the sky for a quick lesson.

Zero watched his sister take to the sky, then sighed and lay down, wrapping his tail around himself and pressing his wings tight to his body. Maybe he wasn't ready to wake up yet...

Wolf flew up and landed on a cloud. "Now, fly up and do a back flip."

Deity raised an eyebrow- she already knew how to do this. She listened anyways and threw back her head to angle her body back and tilted her wing fingers. As she began to dive, she pulled up, finishing the flip.

Wolf shook his head. "You didn't do it right."

"But I flipped. I'm alive. That's all that matters, right?"

Wolf shook his head. "No! What matters is how you feel inside. Confidence, scared, intimidated, happy, nervous, you name the feeling! That's what matters! HOW YOU FEEL!"

She sighed. "Alright. Would you like me to try again?"

Wolf shook his head. "Not now. First, take a deep breath. Let all your worries flow out. Another thing that is needed during flight, is trust. Not on other dragons, but on the wind. The wind is our brother, he is there for us when we make a mistake. He fills in that hole in our wings. Now, use trust, AND feelings, during your back flip."

Deity rolled her eyes, but did as he asked. What worries did she have? She made one up and thought it over and over until it seemed reasonable. Then she unthought it and flapped into the skies. At the peak, she tilted her head and wings back, eyes still closed, then she let the wind catch her to complete the move. "Like that?"

She looked at her and snorted gently in greeting. "You going to train with us too?"

((I'm not even sure we have one yet, to be honest. X3 ))

"Can you do a backflip?"

"Fine from what I could tell from. What do you think, Wolf?"

Wolf glanced at both dragons. "Well, as a master of the skies, I say she could spread her wings out a bit more and catch some more air. And I think it would be better if you went faster and higher."

Wolf nodded approvingly. "Much better. But it looks like your putting pressure on yourself. Relax."

Wolf stared as she saw the dragon fly around happily. "I wish I could be in a better mood lately. But that's not happening,"he said sadly.

Wolf sighed. "I'm not sure. I guess my sadness is taking over."

"You were fine the last time you did it."

Wolf nodded. "Keep practicing."

"Oh! Uh.... Sure,"he said.

Wolf flew up in the air and above a cloud. We then folded his wings and dived straight through the cloud.

Deity sat on her cloud and watched the two practice, not minding at all. She curled her paws under her chest and flicked her tail contently.

Diety opened an eye and looked at her. "Fine, thank you." She closed it again, but was still listening. "And you?"
