She looked Darksmoke in the eyes. 'Wouldn't you like to know? Pent up anger, Tends to lash out, Murderous? That's what i've been told alteast. Not saying all are true. I still get spooked at most things due to....... things and I'm scarred of people lurking in the shadows, listening in to our conversat- Anyway! how bout you?'

Darksmoke smiled bitterly. “Oh don’t worry about people in the shadows. I would know.” She got up and walked to the center of the room. “We know about how Nightwings can melt into darkness right? Well, I have something in addition to that.” She brought her talons out and scraped them on the floor. Her shadow collected in the palm of her claw and she dropped it on the floor where it remained, like a giant black blob. She looked at Sweet for a moment, taking in her features. She then twisted her finger and the darkness assembled so it made a shocking likeness to Sweet. “And you know, if I like I can hurt with this.” Her eyes became dark. “I choose not to but they want me to. But I haven’t… I haven’t done it since the accident.” She allowed her shadow to return to normal form and climbed back onto her ledge where she began toying with the blackness around her. “It’s called shadebending, and I’ve never found another who has it.” She snarled and threw them back on the ground. “And I can’t get rid of them. They’re always here, wanting me to kill or to hurt.” Her eyes became tired as she looked at the darkness pooling around her as though it was magnetized to her scales. “I’ve never told anyone besides an old friend but look where that got me.” She turned around from Sweet and laid down, her tail covering her face. Suddenly she didn’t feel like talking.

"Shadebending? Hm, don't let my mom catch you with that... I would never rat you out despite what my mom is telling me." She paused for a moment. "Do you have mindreading?"

Darksmoke sighed. She still didn’t turn around but she spoke. “Yes but not nearly as powerful as her other Nightwings. I have to physically touch them in order to, and even then I can only pick up feelings or strings of thought. And I’ve never had a prophecy or been able to tell the future. So in regards to being a Nightwing, I’m kinda useless.” She stared down at her talons that were fashioned like shards of slender ice. “And I can’t breathe fire, or ice breath. And my scales don’t change like a rain wing. I’m… I’m not really any dragon type. But for some reason, my father liked how ‘rare’ I was.” Her mind wandered back to the chains and long nights spent in that bright under-chamber. It had been unbearably hot and bright down there, as well as humid. And then of course there were those icy blue talons that had raked themselves across her so many times. When she looked down at herself, she saw the scars that were usually hidden by her wings. They used to bother her but she didn’t care now. They were battle scars, and proved her survival. But no one ever needed to see or know about them. Then she said stiffly once she brought herself back, “If you don’t mind, I might try to take a nap.” Without waiting for an answer, she spread her wing over her face and wrapped her tail around the circumference of the bottom.

'Hmm, Good then you know i'm not lying right?' She looked at Darksmoke. (Oh BTW can you Pm for your email bc I want to invite you to a Google docs?)

(Depends, what would you need it for?)
Darksmoke tried in vain to ignore the question but eventually she couldn't. With a grumble she turned back to Sweet. "Only if I was touching you. But I'm not... I won't..." She trailed off. I don't want to touch her because she will flinch away and I will feel like a monster. "I don't like seeing into other people's minds. It feels like an invasion of privacy; your thoughts should be yours alone. Echo was an exception, she was in distress and I needed to know how to comfort her. And I know you don't want me to touch you." And while Darksmoke supposed that Sweet might, she didn't want to have to try to touch the other dragon as gently as possible. Plus, she didn't want to see into her mind. Suddenly she swung around and her wings opened as she hissed, "And you better not tell the others about what I've shown you. I didn't even want to tell or show you but it seemed prudent for some reason. But you better not tell them!" I don't need two others thinking of me like a monster.

She looked down at her talons. "I'll tell you, but you don't have to tell me about your wings if you don't want too," she added, before starting to speak. "I am an aminus- and my mother, Pool, figured that out quite quickly," she explained. "she tried to make me do stuff for her, but I didn't want to. So..." she trailed off, "she found a mindcontrolling vine, and she forced me to inhale some smoke of it, when she burned it. Now, whenever she used it, she could control me, but only if she were near me," she added. "She made me steal things with my animus powers... and then one day, some dragons came over to fight for the treasure, and get me out of there...." she shivered- this was the part she hated, the part she was afraid her friends would be fearful off. "so, she forced me to kill them. This went on for a few years, before I had the chance to escape," "No no, its only fair I tell you my secret too, even if you hate me for it," Fatewatcher dipped her head sadly, "I understand, but you cannot blame yourself for that, you blame your mother," Guess I know what that vision was all about now, she thinks she'll never see her mother again, if only she knew. "I guess its time for my story now.." Fatewatcher looked back up at Echo, "A long bit ago, before I went back to the sky kingdom, my mother and I had just moved to a new city, the 18th spot we lived in. There were many other dragonets there, one of them became my best friend. But there was also a group of purebreed icewings, so full of themselves, my friend, who was a rainwing silkwing hybrid, hated them, because they would always bully us. The main way they got to me was my wings, I was abused because of how my wings looked, eventually, my friend and I were done with them. We went to go confront the 5 other dragonets and they straight up attacked, Iris, my friend, didn't have enough time to react, she slit one of their necks and killed them, we were both horified but that just made the icewings fight harder.. Iris was killed," Tears were now forming in Fatewatcher's eyes, "Then out of pure anger I killed the one who lead them, with animus magic. After that they ran off, scared, I should of seen it coming, but a lot of futures are blurred for me- I could have save Iris if my stupid future sight was working! I should have left her out of it!" Fatewatcher buried her head in her talons, it felt good to let out all her anger, but it devastated her too.. "Fatewatcher..." she lay a wing on her shoulder, upset to see her friend in tears. Was she afraid Echo would leave her? she knew what had happened... wasn't the greatest thing... but it was clear Fatewatcher hadn't meant too, and that she regretted it now. "You were grieving... and sometimes grief can make a dragon do something they wouldn't want to do," she paused for a moment, unsure what to say next. What was she meant to say? she just wanted her friend to feel better.... "It isn't your fault Iris died,' she decided to say, "Not //everything// is predictable... not even for seer's. You must see a lot... it wasn't your fault,"

Darksmoke sighed. She didn’t know why she was yelling. “Sorry.” She muttered. Maybe I am a monster. I can’t even have a normal conversation without yelling or being weird. Her wings drooped and she crawled back onto her ledge. She really did want to make friends with Sweet, maybe more but now… she shook the thoughts away. As she looked at Sweet she played with the shadows again. Her talons twisted and contorted as she wove them into all different shapes and sizes before eventually relaxing her hand and letting them all return to their places. It was a useless habit, but it made her feel better. At least she knew how to control the darkness most of the time.

She didn't respond, instead she picked up the note again and sighed. 'Great.' she mumbled now fully reading the note.

Fatewatcher sighed as she began to get up and put away the scrolls she was reading, "How about we go to the prey center..? It's been a long day and I still havn't eaten yet," She was oviously trying to lighten up the mood and seem more cheerful, but the regret and grief still pulled her down, there was one thing she didn't mention, And if I do Echo will hate me forever, she doesn't need to know I still want to kill the rest of those idiots-

SHe got up and went over to Darksmoke, her eyes flickered over the stuff on the ledge above. "Did you ever get a note from someone?' She asked suddenly. "If you did, may I have it?" Ravenshadow respond//

Darksmoke shook her head. Of course, there may very well be one sitting next to me right now. But I want to know what its about before I hand it to her. She picked up a book she had brought from home. "Here's a little bit of history on shadebending. It says here, 'Shadebending can only be achieved by a Nightwing who has suffered enough to feel the darkness in their mind, and they accept the pull of the void. Shadebending includes: Being able to manipulate shadows and darkness, becoming completely undetectable when in the dark, and having a deep connection to the dead and loss. Side affects of shadebending include: Unembodied voices, nightmares, insanity, self harm, hallucinations, animalistic behavior, murderous feelings, want for death...'" She looked at Sweet. "The list goes onto the next page. I try not to think about how I acquired shadebending, simply because then the pull becomes harder to resist."

'...That's not what I was- You want to know what's on it don't you? Fine, it's about asking if you have any powers that are... strange? I just wanted to see if my mother wrote it or not." She buzzed her wings slightly. Of course a freak would have a mother who runs a freak show. She smiled.

“Just a second. I’m going to be honest, I didn’t even check.” She glanced around her ledge and saw a small piece of paper sitting on her stuff. ‘Who the hell would be able to leave that…’ she picked it up and unfolded it. The inside was basically what Sweet had described, it was asking if she had off powers. She showed it to Sweet, and then tossed it on the floor. Covering it with a fine layer of smoke, she spat a spark of fire at it and it exploded with light and disappeared in a flutter of ash. “Don’t need to worry about it now. I wonder when dinner is…”

Darksmoke looked at Sweet with that stare that seemed to pierce every surface. "Tell me more about your mom, and I'll tell you how I got shadebending. A classic case of 'show me yours and I'll show you mine.'" Her eyes shifted around and she sat up so her full attention was on Sweet.

"Oh, she runs a freakshow and is part of a gang, I wish I wasn't her daughter. I mean everyone who knows fears me, making me have no friends." She sighed. "I've gotten used to being... watched, feeling like i'm not alone."

Darksmoke sighed. She stared down at her talons and flexed them. Her eyes became dark and she looked exhausted. “My father already knew about my odd smoke when I was younger. I had…” she stopped. A small puff of smoke blew from her nose before she continued.
“I had two other siblings. My father didn’t like them. And when he found me laying in my den, watching a plant wither under my smoke, he had an idea. He is an aminus. He took control of my body and mind. I remember walking into my younger sisters room… and… and…” she tried to speak but it was as though it was swollen. “I remember the smoke filling the room, and her throat trying to breathe. And then… she was gone.” Her head drooped as though she was condemned. “Then he took me into my brothers room and made me smoke him. His face was covered with scars and boils when he died. My father disposed of the bodies in a river and told my mom they had ran off at night. Shortly after me killing them, he murdered my mom. He smashed her head into the floor until there was nothing left.” A bitter bile rose up in Darksmoke’s throat but she continued.
“He realized he had great power in his talons after I started playing with darkness. So naturally, he abused it. He made me kill so many. I had to watch their faces as shadows filled their eyes and the life was drained from them. Or even worse, listen to the coughing and screaming for help when I was forced to use my smoke. Most of the time it was payed; dragons would send him a note and some gold with a name attached. He would lure them into our home and then I would slaughter them. He would keep me in a hot basement and shine lights on me all day so I could never sleep. I had chains on my arms, neck, loosely around my snout, and hindlegs. Oh and my wings were sewed to my body using needles.”
She lifted her wings and the dull outline of the chains could be seen on her body. Then she laid her wing flat on the ground. “You can’t really see it because it’s slowly healed, but if you look closely you can see where the needles were stuck into the wing and then sewed into my side.”
“I escaped when he was taking a vacation with all the gold he had earned. I broke the chains using my smoke and packed my bags. I left him a suicide note, forged a queen signature, and now I’m here.” She sat back up tentatively, with her wings wrapped tightly around her.
