Tango's Suspicion

|✩'𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟕'✩|

A/N: Striker Ref!! Just imagine this but with glasses, heh. Were actually almost done with the main references, yippee! After this we'll start adding memes or area refs atop, as well as Fanart (for you goobers who want to idk). 

Art creds: Aetherjay (I have no idea what platform I found this on Google..)

As the group crept towards the entrance hall, which surprisingly wasn't crowded with people, Sandstorm stopped. 

"Shh! Get behind Tango, & then you camouflage" she instructed, Tango was confused at first, until she heard voices approaching. They all ducted behind Tango, & the RainWing spread her wings to cover them best they could. She then thought of her surroundings, & her scales slowly faded into the background.

"WHAT DO WE DO!?" spoke a panicked Sunny, her voice sounding shaky, "MOON SOMEBODY DIED!" 

Moon? Questioned Tango, but soon a voice answered her thoughts. 

"Sunny i'm sorry, but you know that I've been trying to focus less on my visions & more on Queen Thorns issues!" spoke Moonwatcher, pretty much the savior of Jade Mountain.

Sunny sighed, & a wrestling of wings could be heard as a larger dragon landed. 

"So..." said Clay's voice, "what's the plan?" There was a moment of silence before Moon spoke again, "I did have a prophecy, but it doesn't sound like anything from this century." 

"WHAT WAS IT!?" said Clay & Sunny in sync, worry all over their tones. Moon sighed, but then sucked in a deep breath.

"Stalking darkness is the sand, envious of this peace & it's new land. As bones of a leaf are buried alive, who shall emerge but another new tribe. Peace & War are bound to collide, unless we abide to the laws of time. As concepts shake & kingdoms crumble, the true enemy shall halt with a grumble. If war is not raged & debts are not paid, our entire planet shall reach the eternal shade."
(prophecy is WIP, announcements will be made if it's changed)

Silence filled the room again, "You're right, that does sound out-dated" Clay commented, a slightly sarcastic tone coming to his voice. 

"Well sorry it isn't good enough for you," huffed Moon, "It's not like it's my job to tell you guys when dragonets are gonna die!" To Tango's surprise, Sunny, Clay & Moon began arguing, though she wasn't sure what over. 

She folded her wings & revealed her real scales once more, stepping back into the hallway.

"So that wasn't Ominus" commented Neptune. Sandstorm shrugged, "prophecies are over-rated" they all nodded in agreement. Tango pulled out a scroll, jotting the prophecy down.

"What do you think it means?" asked Swallow, looking up at Sandstorm. Tango also turned to the hybrid, & she arched a brow. "Just because i'm half Nightwing doesn't mean I know anything about this stuff" she said, flicking her tail slightly.

Neptune arched a brow, "please, Striker told me you lived with your dad for your entire life. You have to know SOMETHING." Sandstorm sighed, annoyed. 

"My best guess is there's another vengeful Nightwing, for the first sentence. 'Bones of Leaf' could mean like- a tree? 'Peace & War are bound to collide' probably means & peaceful kingdom will start war...uhm." 

Sandstorm paused, obviously brainstorming for a moment. "As for 'Concepts shake & kingdoms crumble', that just sounds like some dumb filler. 'Eternal Shade' probably means space."

Everybody started at Sandstorm, & Neptune sighed, "thank you for clarifying nothing useful." Sandstorm scoffed, but didn't reply. 

"HEY!" shouted Moon's voice. Tango turned to see the Nightwing looking at them with an arched brow.
