Dragontale

Fury wandered toward the hammock cave, still feeling bad for her friends, knowing that the ledges were EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Fury heard faint angry growling from the ledge cave, and didn’t blame them. She knew why scarlet had been nice enough to let her explain. One, this was one of scarlet's good days, and i mean REALLY good, and two, scarlet only wanted to get those who deserved it in trouble, but punished them WAY too severely, other that the fact that fury thought bolder deserved it, while desert, granted he had tripped bolder and started the whole thing, he probably should have still been able to sleep in the hammocks.

"Hey guys!" Fury said to the other dragonlets behind her.

"what is it?" Nightshade asked. Fury lowered her voice to a whisper, and said,

"what do you think about leaving this prison to fulfill the prophecy early?"

"o no we couldn't. We have to follow the prophecy." Penguin said immediately.

"Do we? We do." fury said quickly when penguin gave her a stern, puzzled look.

"Penguin, why don't you go on ahead?" Nightshade said, startling fury, almost forgetting he was there. 

"Sure,Why?" Penguin asked, still looking confused.

“No reason.” Nightshade said.

"Ok..." penguin said, a look of worry in his eyes. They heard a small creak as penguin sat in his hammock, then a yelp of surprise immediately after. Second later, penguin came charging out of the cave, a look of fury on his face. “ "WHO PUT A SNOWBALL IN MY HAMMOCK!?!"” He roared in rage. Fury gave him an amused look, and nightshade shrugged innocently. “"I am going to kill those two”"he muttered angrily. “

"What do you think about it?" Fury asked nightshade. “

"About what?"” He asked. “

"About leaving the cave early." Fury said impatiently. 

"O yea. I don't think its a bad idea, but we have no way of getting out other that the snowball, which no one can move." Nightshade said.

"That's true.. But we are in a snow cave."Fury said "think about it. We can melt or dig our way out."

"TERRIBLE IDEA."” nightshade said immediately. "there are two problems with that plan. One, this cave was made so if anything started to mess with the walls, the whole thing would collapse. Two, how are we supposed to hide a dragonlet sized hole from the minders? It would take us time to dig out of these thick walls."”

"Great startalons i hate it when you're right." Fury said, lashing her tail. 

"Then you hate me all the time." Nightshade said with a srug. Fury only replied with a tail slap to his smug face, knocking him over.“It's true." He said, getting back of his talons. 

"Great startalons."” Fury muttered, whirling around a walking to the hammock cave. She curled up, facing the wall, and closed her eyes, but she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep, the thought of leaving early running around her head like a pack a wood-hunters, small, grayish-red creatures that hunted small things in the woods in groups. Fury racked her brain, trying to find a way out that didn't involve hurting anyone, and the minders wouldn't notice. Soon, she had drifted into the blissful blankness of sleep.

***

Fury was awoken by something large landing on her back, and shaking her awake. She was about to howl in rage at whatever it was, but a tail slapped around her snout, the signal to be quiet. Fury blinked the sleep out of her eyes and realized nightshade was perched on her back, his tail around her mouth, and signaled with his talons to get out of the hammock quietly. She shoved him off and rolled out of the hammock, landing on her talons with a muffled thump. “

"What are you doing?" She asked in a whisper. From behind her she heard a muted footstep. She whirled around, and to her surprise, she was the other dragonlets where already up. Penguin looked a little nervous, but the other looked determined. She looked up to the sky hole above her and saw it was midnight. 

"We found a wall that won't collapse if we break it, and it's soft enough we could dig out now."” Nightshade explained quietly. 

"So we can leave now?"” Fury asked, bewildered.

"Yea but i don't think we should..." Penguin said. 

"Why shouldn't we?” Fury retorted. 

"We have to follow the prophecy” penguin said simply.

"I want to leave this dreaded cave asap.” Bolder said suddenly. 

"THANK YOU.” fury said in a loud whisper.

"Where is this magic wall?” Desert asked curiously. “

"Over here.” Nightshade said, turning around and walking towards the back wall. “

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?” Fury almost screamed. “THE WAY TO ESCAPE HAS BEEN RIGHT HERE?” She howled, pointing to the wall. “

Yes, but keep it down.” Nightshade said. “We have all night to escape, so i think we will be fine.” Nightshade started to claw at the snow and jumped back with astonishment. “There's already a hole to leave right here!” He said. “

"Let me see.” fury said, shoving past him. There was a huge hole big enough for scarlet to fit in comfortably with wings extended already there. “What?” Fury said, drawling out the word. “

"Well what are we waiting for, an invite?” Bolder said, pushing by fury. Bolder wandered into the hole calling, “come on, it's safe i promise.” Nightshade walked in after, then fury, desert, and penguin. The hole was big enough for five full grown dragons to standing with wings spread confortable. Boulder continued on down the long tunnel, when suddenly he tripped. As the other dragonlets went to see what had tripped over, fury noticed two sticks and a snapped piece of clear string behind where bolder had tripped.

“Oh no.” she muttered. The words had barely left her mouth when a large cage fell of all of the dragonlets. “

"O my god. You five no more sense than a group of hatchlings” A deep voice full of laughter sounded from near them,behind a wall. 

"where are you?” Fury asked tentatively to the wall of the tunnel that had spoken. A large chunk of ice from the wall suddenly began to open inwards like a door. A large dragon came out, but fury couldn't see out what kind it was. It was a dragon, but it was covered with a large purple cloak covering its entire body. “

"Who are you?” Bolder asked, facing it with a fierce expression. “ “

"my name is sans, and you 5 have NO sense.” the strange dragon said clearly in a deep voice “

"what do you mean by that?” penguin said curiously "Weeel... this is a strange tunnel, and you don't see a GIANT SIGN SAYING there is a trap RIGHT THERE." the dragon said, pointing a cloaked tail at a large sign stating there was, indeed a tripwire in front of them. “

"Who set up this tunnel?” nightshade asked. 

"No idea.” the cloaked figure replied. 

"Why don't you show your face anyway?” bolder asked bravely. the claoked figure thought about this for a moment, then the figure said,

"sure, why not?" The hood of the cloak fell away to reveal... a dragon skull.
