The Overloaded Snowbank

Moongazer blinked. "That's cool," she murmured, amazed at the ice.

Scythe watched the two. "That's pretty neat," he admitted.

Immediately the ice melted. "I didn't do that," Wingflight replied, "It's just that the black stone is so hot. thanks, Scythe."

Moongazer gazed around at the deserted land. "Ya live here?" she said again. She settled on her rump and carefully walked on some ice, still wincing. She blew a puddle around a little place she could sit on and the ice melted. Pleased, she sat there and gazed at the moon happily. Wonder what Aero's doing back there... she thought.

Ebony rolled her eyes. "I have special talent too. I breathe fire. But hav even more special talent." She leaned forward like she was about to tell a deadly secret. She whispered "It iss called..." She looked from side to side, liek looking for unwanted eavesdroppers "silence! I can not talk or annoy for days straight!"

"That's your power?" Wingflight wan't that awed. Any dragon can do that if they just put their mind to it! "I know a dragon who can do nothing, not talk, eat or sleep for a week."

"Is the dragon dead?" Scythe mumbled to himself, crawling over to Ebony.

"No, she's just unmoving."

Ebony huffed and rolled ehr eyes again. She lowered her head to her paws, fixing Scythe with one black eye agin. "Nobody gets good joke anymore." She huffed again, and closed her eyes, deciding to just listen for a while.

Moongazer wasn't listening to all this. She was still gazing at the moon, looking for signs.

"What is it, Moongazer?" Wingflight asked.

Moongazer blinked when Wingflight spoke. "Nothing," she murmured. "Nothing. I see nothing." She whipped her tail side to side, her head still up.

(( ))
"Oh, really." Wingflight got up and drank the puddles, then spitting them out out of the cave. "We need to clear out this place."

Moongazer licked her lips mindlessly for no reason. She gave herself a good shake and went off onto a tree branch. Moongazer made the ice melt with hot water to warm herself. ( )

Wingflight looked at Moongazer. "You might want to get that out of here before this canyon floods."

"it'll flood?"

At the word, Scythe raise his head from his paws, and flicked his ears, listening.

Ebony huffed, her eyes still closed, as she listened in. She was perfectly at home, lying on the warm canyon floor in the middle of the winter wonderland.

"The hot water."

(?)

(she melted hot water in the cave...)

(oh. Can owls come by?)
