A dark shape flew over the sand. Two of the patrolling sand dragons saw this, and shot into the air to attack the night dragon out of the sky.
The male reached out to claw the nightwing, and the female snarled as she pinned down the night dragon's wings.
The nightwing hit the ground with a loud thud,
She roared as she hit the hot sand.
The male sandwing snarled at her "state your reason for being here!"
The nightwing shook the female dragon off of her dark shoulders.
"I wish to speak to your queen!" She hissed.
"Why would you want to see her?" the female sand dragon said harshly.
"I have a gift for her."
"What do you think, Scarab?" She whispered to the larger sandwing.
"Let's take her to queen Thorn. come on Pincer"
Scarab took to the air, with Pincer following close behind along, then the nightwing soon took off.
Scarab fell back to talk to the nightwing,
"What's your name?"
The nightwing's deep sapphire eyes squinting at him as if reading him. "I am Sorrowfinder."
"Why does your tribe have such odd names?"
"Our names tell a story; the story of us. Like the old nightwing queen, Queen Battlewinner. She won almost every battle she went into... until her fight with a icewing ruined her."
Scarab nodded, somewhat captivated.
"So your name?"
"I'd rather not talk about my name." She said icily.
Scarab nodded.
"Its okay, sorry for asking."
Sorrowfinder caught sight of the stronghold and landed on the sand, that feeling running through her claws again. she knew she was meant to be here.
They led her inside, and the queen was speaking about some matters to a few smaller sandwings.
"Queen Thorn," Scarab bowed, followed by Pincer, then Sorrowfinder.
Thorn raised her head up and gave a gentle smile."Scarab and Pincer, my favorite twins to have visit... what is it?"
"We caught this nightwing flying over the sands close to the stronghold..."
"This is Sorrowfinder" Pincer quickly interjected.
