Desperate Skies

[Yuffie Kisaragi]

Arakeil appreciatively nodded to the dragoness and continued walking as they approached the outcropping where the dragons were laying out their dead in a circle for the ceremony. With the help of the white dragoness, he reached the circle and laid down the lifeless form of his mother with the other deceased, turning to see her one last time before the ceremony, fighting off tears before he turned to the young dragoness whom had helped him to offer her thanks. "thankyou for your help, ma'am" he said quietly, before he then skittered out of the way of the circle to allow others room to bring their dead family to the ceremony. Irt'u followed, having been put down so Ara could lay down his mother's body, and settled at his brother's feet when the older dragonling sat down, sadly whimpering and pressing up close to his brother's thin, black-scaled leg. Ara craned his long neck to nudge his younger brother reassuringly, understanding how hard it would be for him now...he was only very young, and now he had no parents to teach him how to care for himself. Now his elder brother was all he had, and in truth Ara wasn't sure he was ready to be teaching a younger dragon how to survive. He could barely fly for more than an hour or so and he hadn't hunted alone before...last time he hunted it was with his mother, and she had just been showing him how it was done, he'd never tried it before.

Adelonda smiled at the juvenille when he thanked her but when he quickly went away, she sighed. "Too young to be left alone" she thought out loud. It reminded her of when she was left with no one but her brother. It was tough and she wished she had parents to protect her, Raze was no exactly the talking type either. He was harsh when she was just a hatchling, like a cruel brother with a hatred for her. As time went by however, her brothers cruel face and harsh ways eased and he grew tired of being angry. He was finally a brother she could look up too. She looked around and saw Raze nowhere in sight, so she decided to move out of the circle and sit a few meters away from the now orphaned juveniles. Keeping her eye on them, like a mother would do.
