Look, I know this is cray, but I’m telling the truth.
Uhm… we’re from another world.
You mean like from a book or something?
…Uh-…. Actually yes… that’s exactly what I meant…
Wait, wait! This isn’t some sort of elaborate prank, right? Please tell me this isn’t some sort of joke!
Of course not… why would we do that? What’s even the point? We’ve already given away how cool this other world is by making our dragons NightWings!!! And that’s just one little part of it, imagine all the amazing things you could see! Even just SkyWing and SeaWing magic!!! 😍😍😍
Okay okay, fine, I believe you. But how did you get here and why are you stuck in this stupid human world?
That’s honestly the most complicated part… we went through a portal, and it was a very long walk and there were lots of obstacles along the way! It wasn’t fun at all… Implied sadness and despair at past tragic event. And I’m sure your story is different than ours…
My story is actually quite different. I came here because I was being hunted in my own world. I'm a NightWing, as you guessed, but also a mind-reader.
Wow! That sounds really hard! Do you miss it, there? Or is this world more comfortable for you?
Honestly, I don't really belong anywhere. In my world, I was isolated and feared. Here, I've found safety, but I also feel lost.
I bet you can’t even see thoughts here though! Because all us SkyWings, except my best friend DayLight over there points at blue dragon, are fake here… I didn’t want to tell you because it was embarrassing…
No, no! That's alright. Your secret is safe with me. And no, I can still read minds here. It doesn't matter if they're fake or not.
Ok! So who’s mind are you reading right now then if it’s not the SkyWings, except me?
staring at IntincrDays intensely Hmm... let me try... Ah! I see. You're hiding something from me. What is it?
whispering to self, Gotta keep pretending! Wait where… ahem… oh it’s nothing, I promise.
Don't lie to me. I can read your thoughts. Now tell me what you're hiding.
You’ll actually see soon anyway… I’m literally allergic to NightWings, so my scales would fall off after being near them… there’s how I went through a portal and didn’t die, because I was also their leader. So it’s very ironic…
Allergic to NightWings? That's incredible! How did you become their leader?
Well, I guess technically my queen was Moonwatcher, however, she died shortly before I made it to here, and the council… basically made me queen instead…
smiling warmly Well, congratulations on becoming the leader of the NightWings. That's quite an honor.
Thanks! She would’ve liked you, I think. Anyway, come on we’re wasting time and nobody wants that. The end.
nods Absolutely, let's get going then. I'm excited to explore this new world with you and help you navigate the challenges you're facing.
Hehe, so look forward to seeing everyone else! Like MechaMudWing, even though he might punch you immediately upon meeting you, but still-!
Haha, I'm looking forward to meeting MechaMudWing. I'll be sure to give him a gentle warning before he punches me.
shudder FleskFangVipers!!!!
What about FleskFangVipers? They're not very friendly either?
RUN! both start running as fast as they can
Help! \She runs out of breath as she chases the others\
Help! \Moonwatcher looks back and notices how exhausted IntincrDays is\
breathes heavy Moonwatcher! Help! \He finally catches up, just moments later\
stops running, and rushes over to IntincrDays Are you okay? You seem exhausted!
No.. No I’m not… breaths heavily as my eyes flash blood red. I’m tired, and I hate it…
concerned, places a comforting hand on IntincrDays' shoulder Hey, hey, listen to me. It's going to be alright. We'll find a way to get you some rest.
And breathing continues… breaths heavily
I-I can hear your heartbeat racing, IntincrDays. Is there anything else I can do to help you calm down? Maybe some deep breathing exercises or a distraction?
It won’t stop… \squints eyes\ leaves please… I don’t wanna hurt anyone. Including you… Especially you. We weren’t really prepared for even me to leave, and especially you, when we came here. There’s lots of bad stuff happening in RainWing territory, so I had to send some of our king’s MudWings early… but they never made it, unfortunately… and that made our king, uh, mad. His Majesty.
pauses for a moment, taking in all the information IntincrDays has shared Alright, IntincrDays. I appreciate you opening up to me like this.
Look, Moonwatcher, the longer I stand here, the more likely I am to lose control. As you know I’m obviously part human, and those instincts are almost completely in charge of me in these situations. I can hear everyone waiting for us to get there, so I should… go on without me. I’m sorry.
IntincrDays, please listen to me. I understand your fears, but you don't have to face them alone.
They’re already here… that’s why I have to go. Please. For both our sakes… *transports away🌙
pauses for a moment, watching as IntincrDays transports away Alright, well, if IntincrDays insists on going alone, then I will do my best to support her from here. I just hope everything goes smoothly for her.
