The Sunset's Shadow

//Continuing from our original topic//


And the Archon and his company of others would wait for minutes. It was unlike Attor to be late, even fashionably at that, however his moment of obliviousness had struck him hard this time. After a short time there was a small flock of Sky Dragons who made their way toward the the group of Night kin, the pattern they took was organized however at the forefront of the five SkyWings was a NightWing of all things. Sleek in appearance yet carrying the bulky muscle of a brawler, the great dragon had landed gracefully before the Archon and his company, bowing as they did, the other dragons remained in the air but also gave deep bows of their heads out of respect. The flying drakes were a mixture of traditional dragons, Kirin, and Wyverns who seemed mature, their bodies littered with scars and markings showing years of conflict without having to speak.

"Archon of the Nightwing Potentate, Lord Protector of the Isle of Aeterna Dominus, Grand Vizier of the Twilight Imperium, I, on Sky King Attor Fellsting's behalf welcome you to the Lishou Region of the Order of Starlights. We are graced to have you visit on such a fine day," The Night Dragon said in a deep, feminine tone. The dragoness donned ebony armor with the Starlight Order's insignia on the left side of the breast plate and the old NightWing insignia of the former Oculus' rule on the right side, however through the latter that was a noticeable slash through it that seemed intentional. When she finally rose from her bow the female easily towered over the Archon, her gentle gaze matching his, "I am Sceadu, leader of the organized forces that defend Laeshouta, my team and I will be escorting you to your destination. If you would please follow me."

Spanning her wings, Sceadu flew into the air with one swoop, her wings littered with scars and old tears along the membrane, and yet even despite that they complimented her size and appearance. Overall, she was the only armored individual amongst the the six dragons, complete with bladed and spiked protective gear that was carefully designed to look like black thorn vines surrounding her limbs, the armor itself was clearly used in some capacity as even pieces of it were missing such as small blades, thorns, and chips in the armor. As the group took to the sky, the other Sky Dragons had flanked all other five sides of the convoy whilst the lead female had taken front. It was quite unorthodox to see a different dragon of a different race in the Lishou Region, especially a Nightwing all things considered, however there must have been reasons for this happening, but whatever the case if Tenebris' personal guards were not enough then surely the new escorts were.

" It has been decades since any Nightwing royalty has been heard of coming toward Lishou, a that time, the Sky King was ready to go to war given a variety of trespasses, I wish you had been here when Lord Attor had personally rooted out the Shamed One's forces. The entire military had to be rebuilt after a long period of peace was interrupted," Sceadu had stated to Archon, then looked to her left, "The floating islands provides the best spots for gatherings usually, however my liege had ordered me to bring you to Laeshouta, the main settlement of the Order of Starlights."
