Description
>>WARNING: SOME BLOOD/FIGHTING<<
Little Sisters, Big Problems
The click-clack of claws on rock echoed off the walls of the cave, with molten stone running through the walls and floor like thin veins of gold and copper as they lit the tunnel for the two dragons.
The young, yellow-gold dragon looked up at her older brother, “Hey Flashfire, can I ask you something?”
The orange dragon looked back at her, “As long as it doesn't have to do with how I got Fire Worms in your dinner..” he smirked.
His sister stopped and stared at him, “You did WHAT!?” she exclaimed, her eyes widening.
Flashfire burst in to laughter when he saw her expression, “Don't worry, I'd only do that to dad.” he laughed jokingly.
She stuck out her tongue in disgust, “That's gross!” she whined.
Flashfire chuckled for another minute before talking, “What was the thing you were going to ask me?” he asked as he got back to walking.
“Oh,” She trotted along behind him, “I was wondering.. How come I'm the only dragon with golden lava? Everyone else's is reddish-orange like yours.”
Flashfire thought for a few steps, then turned his head to the side slightly to look at his little sister, “I don't know, Halcya.” He responded, then chuckled, “Maybe Roseate took your red coloring.”
Halcya giggled, “But she's nine years younger than me!” she contested.
Flashfire smiled, “Maybe she took it from the future...” he responded jokingly.
Halcya widened her eyes in pretend shock and gasped, then they both burst out laughing.
After the laughter died down, Halcya glanced around at the walls, “Where are we going, anyway?”
“I don't know.” Flashfire shrugged as he turned a corner.
Halcya looked at him, “What!?” she burst out in confusion.
Flashfire looked back at her and smiled, “Hey, what's wrong with a little adventure?”
Halcya calmed down, “I guess you're right..” she mumbled, then her ears perked up and she smiled at Flashfire, “Maybe we'll find something cool!”
Flashfire smiled, “That's it!” he chuckled, then paused his walking as he looked back at Halcya, “Now, left or right?”
Halcya stopped and looked at the different paths then smiled at Flashfire, “Right!”
Flashfire smiled back, “Right it is!” he then turned and began play-marching, with Halcya right on his tail.
After walking and giggling for another few minutes, they reached a “room” of sorts, where the tunnel opened up to some pools of lava near the walls, by the pools were some volcanic geysers akin to miniature volcanoes.
Halcya looked around, a big smile appearing on her face, “This place looks cool!” she happily exclaimed.
Flashfire chuckled, he loved seeing his little sister so happy, “Yeah, it does.” he replied as he walked over to one of the pools, an idea forming in his mind as Halcya followed him.
When he reached the edge of the pool, he turned to his sister and grinned, then threw himself backwards in to the pool, causing lava to fly everywhere as his vision got blocked in a wall of different hews of orange.
He stayed under the surface for a good ten seconds before launching himself up, out of the lava, making even more lava splash everywhere, even Halcya, making her erupt in laughter, “Don't do that!”
“Why not?” Flashfire smiled as he landed, he then shook off the excess lava that stuck to his hide.
Halcya tried to put on a pouting face, but was too giggly to make it believable, “You scared me!”
Flashfire giggled, “But big brothers are supposed to scare little sisters.”
Halcya put both her front paws on his shoulder and pushed him, -her exaggerated attempt and a nudge- which caused him to stumble to the side a bit as she responded to him, “That doesn't mean you have to scare me!”
Flashfire caught his balance, then smiled at his little sister, “Okay, okay. I promise not to scare you anymore.. today.” he said playfully.
Halcya started to giggle again, but was startled by a harsh male voice calling from the other side of the room, “Hey! What do you think you're doing!?”
A feeling of dread washed over them as they looked over to see a very darkly-colored Volcanic Dragon walking beside a strange-looking gray dragon with curved horns and what Flashfire could only assume was fur, though he hadn't really seen any before.
“I think she's playing princess with the other hatchling.” The gray dragon replied, his voice just as menacing.
“What do you want!?” Flashfire called out, taking a defensive-stance beside Halcya.
“Oh nothing much,” the gray dragon turned to Flashfire, “We only want to ask if you know the way out, I'm afraid it's much too hot down here.” he said, with Flashfire looking towards his feet to see a trail of white crystals growing rapidly beside the gray dragon's every step, he couldn't tell what it was, but the closer the dragon got, the colder he felt, with shivers already beginning to run down his spine.
“No, I don't.” Flashfire finally responded, “Now would you please leave?” he said, taking a step forward to better protect Halcya.
“My, what terrible manors you have..” the dark volcanic dragon chuckled, sending another chill down Flashfire's spine, only this time due to fear. “Perhaps I should teach you some.. You two would make such great additions to our collection.” he said, taking a step towards the two smaller dragons.
Halcya took a few steps back, going behind Flashfire as he opened his wing to cover her.
“Don't you dare come any closer.” Flashfire growled, his uneasiness giving way to fear and anger, he was not going to let them harm himself or Halcya, and definitely won't let them get anywhere near her.
“Oh, by why wouldn't I?” The dark dragon responded with a sick grin as he kept walking forwards, his partner not far behind.
“You know,” The gray dragon looked at Halcya, “The little gold one is quite the oddity..”
“You're right..” The dark dragon moved his gaze to Halcya as well.
“Don't touch her!” Flashfire growled, swiping a paw at them to try and scare them off, which the dark dragon found to be oddly humorous and began laughing, at first it didn't sound too odd, just the timing, but as the laugh continued it became more and more apparent; This dragon can't possibly be sane.
The gray dragon growled, obviously not amused in his partner's horrifically unnerving laugh, “If you don't want us to harm you, you'll need to put up more of a show of force than that, little lava-snout.”
Flashfire growled, and snorted some fire, but before he could say anything Halcya interjected, “Just leave us alone!” she called out, her voice laden with fear.
The dark dragon -who had just finished his laugh moments before- began chuckling again, obviously not willing to listen to her plead as he started walking forwards again.
Flashfire lowered his head and scuffed the ground, “Don't take another step or-”
“Or you'll what?” The dark dragon grinned, “Burn me? I'm a Volcanic Dragon, you child, I won't be hurt by anything you throw at me.”
Flashfire froze, he hadn't thought about that, if he spat lava at the other dragon, he'd just shake it off like he had earlier, and if he tried to throw a rock, it'd more than likely hit the armored, rock-like scales all over his body.
“Oh, I found a flaw in your plan, did I?” the dark dragon smiled, teeth showing, as he got within a foot or two of the young dragons, “Don't worry, now you won't have to waste any effor-”
Flashfire roared as loud as he could, and jumped on to the larger dragon's back then latched on with his claws, catching the older dragon by surprise and making him recoil, taking a few steps back and swinging his head around to try and reach Flashfire with his jaws, but to no avail as the latter swiped at the dark dragon's face as soon as he turned his head, clawing right over his eye and causing him to roar in pain as he threw his head forward and to the ground in order to put a paw over the eye before blood spilled too far across the ground.
Halcya yelped in fear, and ran to the corner of the edge of the pool of lava, trying to get out of the way of the battle.
The gray dragon watched as she hid, then turned his attention to Flashfire, who had just bitten down on the dark dragon's neck. The gray dragon opened his mouth, then shot Flashfire with a large shard of ice, slicing through on of his wing membranes and making him topple over on to the ground -next to the gray dragon- from the shock of the sneak-attack.
“Perhaps there's more hope in your skills than I thought...” The gray dragon said calmly as he placed his painfully cold paw on to Flashfire's shoulder, causing him to instinctively curl up in pain, “What a pity..” the gray dragon snorted as he looked at his partner, only now looking over, his eye covered with orange blood, “And here we thought the golden one would be more useful.”
The dark dragon growled, obviously angry from having his eye blinded.
Flashfire made himself look over at where Halcya was, hoping that she had run off to a safer place, but to his shock, she was still standing there, her torso and head poking out from behind the nearest wall.
He mustered what strength he could to force himself to roll out from under the deathly cold dragon's claws and launch some lava out of his mouth at him, then turn to his sister as he blurted out, “Halcya, RUN!” before being crushed under the weight of the dark dragon's front feet.
As he fell to the ground and his vision blurred, he could see Halcya turn and dive in to the pool of lava, and above him was the dark dragon's head, his eye dripping blood on to his head and chest as he closed his eyes, all he could hear was a faint calling of his name, then everything faded to silence.
Well, I meant to have this out a couple days ago.. but I had trouble getting the drawing done, then I had no motivation to work on writing other than " People are counting on me", which, apparently isn't enough when I"m having writer's block.. But hey, after spending a few hours writing today, I now have it finished! So here you go, the -probably- saddest-ish section so far.
