"Whoa," Storm said, trying to calm Draco. "Athena turned into a wackadoodle for a while but she wasn't in her right mind but she is okay now." He said. "Now we may need to go hunting. Atrex gave me a little bit ofelk meet back in the temple, don't ask me how, but I am still starved." He frowned.

Cariharn, admittedly, had also gone a bit pink at the other dragons' teasings. When Atrex mentioned kissing and all that, she blushed even more, looking away, not wanting to make eye contact as she was so embarrassed!

"U-um uh...I-I think we should official stuff over with b-before r-romantic activities," she stammered out nervously, still unable to look anyone in the eye.

Atrex was surprised to see Cariharn stammering and blushing! She was always so collected! "Y-yeah, yeah.. What she said.." He said, chuckling nervously. He glanced at Cari and then he decided he'd better take a breather. "Okay, I feel as if I'm being burned alive. I'm gonna go.. Wash my face, cool off," he stammered, before he turned and spread his wings. He then took off towards the nearest lake.

It was a few kilometres away, which was no problem for a dragon. A small lake, so it was, but still pretty big. Atrex landed and dashed over to it. Gasping, he thrust his neck forward and his head entered the water. He shook it, splashing water everywhere. He then surfaced with a gasp. He wiped his eyes with a wing and then sighed. "Can't believe this," he muttered. "Did they really have to make it so obvious about my feelings?" He wasn't mad at his friends, god no, just mad at how they made it so obvious how he felt about Cariharn. With those shiny scales, and those blue, blue eyes..

Atrex shook himself and put his head in the water again. He felt dizzy, because water was one of his weaknesses, but right now he could care less. He stepped into the water and waded out in an attempt to cool down. It was freezing, and he felt it lapping against the back of his legs.

Athena chuckled as Atrex made his escape. She was glad there were no crazy dragons around. Like Grey. Or Delilah.. Bloody Delilah. Athena hated that b---h with a passion.

She glanced around, before she walked over to Nebula and put her wing on his claw. "You okay?" She chuckled, looking at him with loving eyes.

Storm felt pity for Atrex, and put a talon on his back. "It is okay, Atrex. I will stop teasing you now," he assured him. He then turned to Cariharn. "I am sorry," he started, "But I think that I forgot to introduce myself. I am Storm, SkyWing lieutenant." He smiled at her in greeting.

Cariharn watched Atrex's back as he escaped the situation and once he disappeared out of sight, she turned back to the rest of the dragons. The poor drake always got embarrassed so easily, she quite liked that part of him. While in her thoughts, Storm had introduced himself.

"Oh, yes. I'm Cariharn, IceWing scholar. Pleased to meet you, Storm," she replied.

Storm smiled. "The pleasure is mine, Cariharn," he said politely. After a moment or two of awkward silence, Storm said, "Soooo... Atrex seems quite smitten with you. I am glad that he finally has someone. I think that it will be good for him," he said genuinely.

Athena shook her head as Atrex took his leave. She then looked at Cariharn. "My name's Athena," she dipped her head to her. So this female was an ice wing scholar? Awesome! It meant when she joined the tribe, she'd know somebody from there! Zaroc too! Athena laughed at Storm's words, amused at test thought. "Indeed. Atrex adores you to no end," she chuckled, knowing that was Atreus' way of love. Stammering and stuttering and shyly smiling. "I can see why," she complemented her after a moment.

BUMP

Cariharn blushed even more, "Oh, uh...Oh," she stuttered, unsure what to say now that everyone was saying that Atrex did like her quite a lot. Oh dear, she wasn't sure how to act around him now. Thank goodness Atrex wasn't here to hear all this at the moment.

She swallowed all her embarrassment quickly and replied to Athena, "Nice to meet you, Athena. You're quite a dragoness yourself," she said.

Athena grinned at Cariharn's complement. "Thanks. No one's said that to me before, actually," she said. On the outside, she was keeping it in, but on the inside, she felt.. pride? Glowy? She didn't know. Many said she was a "demon dragoness," or a "true mistress of the ice," but no one had.. said she was "quite a dragoness." Athena glanced around, half expecting to see Atrex returning. When he didn't show up, she spoke. "I hate to be the party crasher, but I think somebody needs to go check on Atrex." She blinked. She knew.. her and Cariharn mixed in Atrex's mind PROBABLY would make it worse. Oh god.. the way he'd kissed her.. for a moment Athena was in love with him, and then when she realised.. she had broken the poor drake's heart..

Athena realised the smile had faded and she was staring into oblivion. She snapped out of it. "Any volunteers?" she chuckled.

Storm nodded. "I'll go." Without saying anything else, he took off in Atrex's direction. He slowly came down to the edge of the lake. "Hey, Atrex," he called. "Are you okay? Would you like to talk again?"

Atrex was a.. Naturally bashful dragon, so when he saw Storm he gasped and covered himself with his wings, the heat returning to his face. "S-Storm!" He stammered, his snout burning. He stumbled over to the water's edge. "Y-yeah I'm okay," he stuttered. He shook himself, then looked at Storm. "I'm fine.. Thank you," he looked away, fidgeting. "I ah.. I just.. You know.. Wanted to.. Cool off. I don't want to act funny in front of Cariharn. I mean.. Would she really like a drake who stammered and screwed up all the time?" He chuckled unconvincingly. Okay yeah, he was in love with Cariharn. He still loved Athena, but he knew she didn't return his feelings. God, it hurt, but he knew Nebula was her mate now. What could he do? Seduce her? Lure her away from him? He knew that sly female, and she wouldn't just cheat on her mate. She had a lot of honour, despite the reputation she had. "I guess I just.. Really, really like her," he giggled, going crimson. Cariharn entered his mind. That pretty face, that gorgeous smile. Atrex SQUEALED and buried his head in his paws. "Good god, Storm! She makes me feel so weird! A great weird!" He sighed. He looked up at him. "Whenever she smiles, I feel as if an angel is looking at me! Whenever she laughs it's like the most beautiful music is playing full blast in my ears! She.. She.. She could do whatever she liked to me and I couldn't do a thing about it." Suddenly he raised a brow. He actually quite liked that idea.. Wait, what the heck Atrex? Realising he was smiling into space, Atrex tried to shake it out of his head. No use. CariharnCariharnCariharn.. He could just PICTURE her! That smile.. Her tail caressing the underside of his chin.. The cheeky smile as she leaned in and kissed- wait, what?!

Atrex growled and went in a small circle, strafing back and forth. "W-what do I do?!" He asked, desperation in his voice.

Storm watched Atrex. Gosh, his golden friend could get really embarrassed. "Just calm down," he said soothingly after Atrex was done talking. 'She will like you for who you are. Just be yourself! There is nothing to be embarrassed about," he comforted.

Atrex took a few deep breaths. Inhale, exhale, inhale exhale, Cariharn, inhale, cariharn, exhale.. Cariharnexhaleinhalecariharnexcale. Atrex had to slow down his breathing because the MOMENT she entered his mind he went all red again. He was HEAD, over TAILS, for this female. He looked at Storm and sighed. "B-bu-bu-but what if I mess up! What if I.. Come on too strongly! What if I say something that makes me seem like I'm not interested? W-what if.." He trailed off. So many what ifs. Cariharn. Atrex giggled again at the image of her face.

He looked down at Storm and grinned in that funny way he grinned, with all the teeth showing and the biggest grin plastered on his face. "Nevermind." He then took a deep breath. "Sorry if I seemed.. Weird or.. Stalkerish, like Delilah was," he shivered. "You remember her? What an evil little bi-" his eyes widened and his wing went clamping SO fast onto his snout it missed and hit him in the EYE. Atrex yelped and stumbled backwards, ending up on his big golden backside in the water. He rubbed his eye desperately, as if trying to wipe the pain right off. "Athena's rubbing off on me," he muttered.


//What a great heart-to-heart chat these two are having XD hilarious//

// LOL //

"Don't think through it so much. Just be yourself, and it will come naturally," he explained. Storm tried to suppress a laugh when Atrex fell into the water, but to no avail. He chuckled, helping Atrex out of the lake.

Atrex nodded, sending him a playful glare as he chuckled. "Very funny, Atrex nearly swears, blablahblah," he jokee, sticking his nearly yellow tongue out at Storm. The pain slowly faded and he removed the wing from his eye. He was neo very dizzy, water was one of his annoying weaknesses, and he stumbled, ending up half on his side, half on his rear. "Sorry, whenever I get into water it really makes me dizzy," he muttered. He used Storm as support to get to his paws. Then he stretched his four wings. "Race you back to where the girls are!" He challenged. He then took off, zooming towards the place where they were. "LAST ONE THERE HAS TO DUNK HIS HEAD IN ELK DUNG!" He shouted over his shoulder, knowing that was a REALLY bad idea since Storm was a faster flyer. But he had stamina.

Storm grinned at Atrex's challenge, and took to the air, staying right above the trees. He did quick bursts with his wings to gain speed, and kept his head down to be more aerodynamic. He quickly overtook the gold drake and landed right beside Athena. Storm didn't even have to take deep breaths from going so fast. His SkyWing training had paid off.

//Yeah, i think Ender would like to join back in, with Draco there to probably explain everything.//
"NONONONONONONONONO! NO! NO! NO! WE ARE NOT GOING BACK TO WHERE THAT PSYCHO IS!" Ender 2 shouted in terror, but i continued walking to our destination. After what happened with Athena and him calling her a ice princess, Ender 2 is super terrified of her. "Don't you remember what she said? She was going to murder the both of us if we were seen again! Please for our sake, don't do it! PLEASE!!!" He pleaded to me, but i stayed resilient, and saw the 'dragoness shrouded in ice' herself, and started a greeting i usually say to someone like her. "Well, you could say this is awkward. But i think this is more of a bad meeting." I solemnly said behind her back inside the darkness so she can't see me.

Cariharn sat down, waiting for Storm to return with Atrex. She was trying very hard to pretend like nothing happened, should Atrex return later. Just then, she thought she saw something in the darkness move, but then brushed it off as the wind. Cariharn looked up at the sky, spotting the faint figures of two dragons in the sky and a small smile appeared on her face. It might be the two boys.

Atrex gave a playful growl as Storm came first. He flared his wings and pulled up into a hover, before he landed, touching down gently. He glanced at Athena, then at Cariharn. "Sooooooo..." He said, chuckling awkwardly. He glanced over as he heard a voice, but took it as the wind. He grinned at Cariharn. He felt his face heat up as he saw that pretty face of hers, and when he saw the smile, the world was perfect again.

He gazed at her for a moment, that lovely blue sheen she had was amazing, before he politely adverted his gaze, ignoring the urge to just.. March over to her, carress her neck, then- oh my god that's creepy.

Atrex went red just from that single thought. "Anybody hungry?" He squeaked, gesturing to the PILES of elk him and Storm had caught earlier.

//Didn't anyone notice Ender, or was it just Athena and Draco. And Storm, this won't conflict with the story, since he is blocked by Athena to do anything wrong.//
Draco watched the day unfold with a new dragon joining us and a old friend as well to come back. "Oh hello there Ender, it's been a long while since i seen you." I said to the newcomer with us.
//Short post, sorry//

Athena was smiling and chuckling until she heard Ender's voice. She turned her head and narrowed her eyes when she sniffed him out. She gazed at where his eyes were, cold blue locking with his under her icy stare. "What do you want?" She demanded, keeping her voice low as to not alert the others.

"Well, i came to apologize. After on what i did was not my idea at all. But for what we did was to keep everyone safe, including you from corruption of incurable proportions. And it was like you to say that death threat to us when he called you that. And with all said and done, i'm sorry for all that me and Ender 2 did to look like we are going to make everyone's lives miserable. I never did ask for a personality like him, but i got it anyways, but we do know how cruel fate can be sometimes. And if you are wondering where my split is, then he is cowering in the back of our mind, because that threat scared him big time. He even pleaded to me not to go here. But long story short, and i do like making long speeches, i am sorry." I told the dragoness, and then heard Draco's voice. "Oh, hey Draco, and it has been a long while old friend." I replied to him, revealing myself to the group from the shadows. Maybe they won't act like i'm an enemy at any point in time.

Cariharn blinked, she was about to help herself to the pile of elk when a black dragon revealed himself from the shadows. It would have almost startled her, if it wasn't for Atrex being there at the moment. She did not want to show any weakness when someone who she held quite close, was present. It would be embarrassing.

"Hello there, may I ask you who you are?" she asked. She found out quite quickly that the dragon was friendly with the others around her at the moment and felt the need to introduce herself immediately.

"I am Ender, one of the few dragons with a split personality. (and also survived battling Draco) And it's a pleasure to meet you." I replied to the new blue dragon next to Atrex, which looked to be kind of- DON'T YOU FFFFFUCING DARE! He yelled at me from the back of our mind, which almost gave me a headache. Wow, thanks a lot dear split! I was just trying to see what she was like, and you just yelled at me for doing so! THANKS! A! LOT! I yelled back at him, and he shut his mouth since Athena was still around, and he remembers that death threat, and still gives him nightmares.
