Thanks again! 

I AM SO SORRY! I really feel quite horrible. I'm a mess. I'm pathetic. I'm awfully terribly sorry about this. But please read my thread on DtE. It begins with, "Please read"  

Ok, a few things:

1. Can Windswift and Tux Kitten please clarify the genders on their dragons? I should've included that on the Charrie sheet. 

2. I am taking a break, starting tomorrow. But that doesn't mean I can't start this today! 

3. We have every species of dragon except Sandwing. I will make that Charrie. The sheet will be posted below. Anybody willing to crush?

4. Although I will not be on here for two weeks, I am already suspicious that I will return for good. So anybody is welcome to join in my absence!

5. While I take a break from the CB, I will probably be writing this on my computer. Same goes for my other boarding school solo write and my animal story, so when I get back, I can post big long entries!

Top!

Ok, I know I said I won't post on the CB. 

But I'm just doing this one post. I need people to tell me which, if any, crushes they want me to ship. Stingray and scorpion are the two guys. If you have a girl, please tell me if you are okay with her crushing on a guy. If so, which guys? I am writing some of this already, which is why I would like the info. 

Thank you. And I hope this doesn't sound super creepy, but although I won't do anymore posts, I have been reading EVERYTHING.

So if I'm in your ski lodge/solo write, please know I am still reading it!

Cho, I suspect you will see this post first since people have probably forgotten about this. Will you let some people (the people in this solo write, mainly) that I posted a quick question for them?

Thanks. And I will be watching you.... Wahahahaha.

ok, sorry. I'm creepy. Bye, see you in 12 days! 

P.S. This has been the HARDEST few days EVER, not being able to post on Cricket. And no, I've tried not to come on here at all, but that is IMPOSSIBLE.

Ok, for real: bye!  

Yay!

Ember flew swiftly across the midnight sky. She was straining every muscle in her wings, pushing herself faster and harder. 

"Ember!" A voice called out. A heavy black shape rose up from the shadows beneath her. 

She wheeled in a flash and hissed to the darkness, "I told you, Autumn, no. Don't follow me! I want to go alone, A-L-O-N-E!"

"Ember, listen. It's real. It's all true. And this time, I have proof."

Ember hesitated for a brief second. Then she collected herself and snapped, "Fine. What is it now?"

The heavy, labored wingbeats of Autumn joined Ember's. 

"They have heard it!" Ember gasped. Then they were real. But she had to see, or rather, hear,  for herself. 

"Then let's go!" She rose up into the air, higher. "Come on, Autumn, we must hurry!"

~~

Two black shapes flew through the night. They were barely making a sound; their wings beat quietly and steadily against the salty air. 

They were making good time, and the larger dragon signaled the other to land on an island it had spotted. 

They both swooped gracefully down; one would never have guessed how travel-worn and weary they really were. 

The young dragonet whispered, "How long are we staying?" 

"Not long, Darkfruit. We are almost there." The dragon responded. 

"But you've been saying that for almost the whole night!" Darkfruit complained. 

The older one chuckled softly. "Yes, but we just have to get there." And she pointed towards a distant rolling horizon. Land. 

"Can I go catch something, Dusk?" Darkfruit asked.

"Sure, but be careful." Dusk curled up and starting napping. She was more tired than hungry, and Darkfruit was sure to bring her something. 

Darkfruit flapped above the ocean. It was pitch-black and she could see there wasn't much chance of catching anything. She turned and flew to a larger island, only a few wingbeats north of the small island Dusk was sleeping on. Alighting softly on the island, she crept toward a shadow to catch some prey. She smelled scavenger. Although the taste of scavenger was foul to her, she liked their goats and sheep. Keeping between the trees, she scouted the island for anything to eat. 

Soon enough, she came upon a scavenger building. It was oddly shaped but she could smell sheep inside. She flew all around it. There was no way in that she could see. She shrugged her shoulders and released flames on the building, whose wooden frame caught instantly. 

Knocking some of the burning wall down with a push of her talons, she reached in with her mouth and seized two of the frantic sheep, who were bleating pathetically. 

She decided to retreat before any scavengers came; already she could here them squeaking and see tiny lights turn on. Hastily and clumsily she flapped away into the night, unaware of a pair of narrowed blue eyes following her, and she never noticed the small splashes and ripples in the water beneath her.

Blackberry took a deep breath. She was hiding behind the infamous Scorpion Den, which was a haven for criminals, thiefs, and even assassins. She caught sight of a few SandWings leaving and studied their scales. Then with a ripple, her scales changed into a light yellow color, exactly matching the other SandWings. It wasn't perfect, for she couldn't replicate their spikes or horns, and her body shape was wrong, but hopefully her disguise would last long enough. 

She flapped down to the Den and ducked inside. She kept her tail rolled up, for it was missing a tail barb, and she was careful of the other tails around her. Going to the bar, she listened to the talk around her. Mostly it was just chatter, and there were a few shouted insults, but nothing interesting to her. 

"Anything to eat, ma'am?" An old, grizzled Sandwing asked her. He was missing a few scales around his snout. 

"No thanks." Blackberry said. "But maybe you can help me. I've heard there have been strange noises lately. Have you heard them?" She phrased her question carefully, like all the times she had recited it. 

The dragon chuckled in a hoarse, dry throat. "Nope, haven't even heard of them, much less heard them. Sorry, can't help you there. But the feller you want to talk to, lass, is that there dragon. Mighty mysterious one, he is. But you gotta pay well." 

Blackberry glanced over at the dragon. He was watching them through narrow eyes. He had a bulging bag drawn tight across his neck, too. She gulped. "Thank you, sir." She said to the bar dragon and walked over to the mysterious one. 

"I'm looking for some information on the- the reported sounds that have been happening lately." She said nervously. 

The dragon answered, "I'm Scorpion. And you are?" 

Blackberry couldn't reveal her name. It obviously was a RainWing name. 

"That's none of your business." She replied as crisply as she could. "I want to know whether or not you can help me." She threw a gold bag on the table. 

Scorpion snorted. "You'll have to do better than that. My services are valuable." 

"Here you are." Blackberry tossed another bag on the table. 

Scorpion yawned, but Blackberry could see the glint in his eye. She was frustrated.

"Fine. I can easily find someone else to help me." She snapped, about to snatch her gold back. 

Scorpion jumped up and swept the money into his bag. "We have a deal." He grinned. 

Blackberry was relieved. "Good, let's go." She said. They flew out of the cave. Then he flew west. "Where are we going?" Blackberry called, trying hard to keep up with him. 

"I know a dragon..." He said, merely.
