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. ((Heres what I previously posted btw in case u didnt see it ))

"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," Fatewatcher looked up, her face seem tierd, "I'm sorry," she wiped away her tears, "This was supposed to be your sad moment.." 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-"Yeah, lets go to the prey center!" She replied, also trying to lighten up the mood. "before all the younger dragonets get there and flood it with their chatter," she could already imagine the chaos little 3-year old dragonets would eunsue at the prey center

((Heres what I previously posted btw in case u didnt see it )) OMG SO SORRY IVE BEEN VERY BUSY LATEY)) She was silent for a moment, thinking. "Well, we try to comfort eachother together." She paused. "Right? If my mother would dare try to take us or your father found out, I'd- I'd-" She couldn't bring herself to say it.

((Ur totally fine <3))
Darksmoke got up and went over to Sweet. She hesitated slightly, before as gently as possible pressing her side to Sweet’s. “Hey, it’ll be ok. I promise,” she held up one of her front talons with the smallest hint of a smile playing at her lips, “that if your mother comes, I will protect you. And I’m assuming if my dad comes you will do the same. We’ll look out for each other.” Her dark eyes closed for a moment and she practically breathed the next words. “I promise.”

Darksmoke’s heart fluttered like a small bird in her chest at Sweet’s touch. I won’t let anyone hurt her. Ever. She nuzzled Sweet back and gently curled her tail around the other dragonets. Darksmoke had never had someone to love before besides her mom, and when she had died there was no one. Her mind clung to this and she silently vowed that she would never let anyone take her away from Sweet.

She pulled away realizing she was getting too attached. 'Er- sorry...' She smiled nervously, sharpening her claws on stone in nervousness, buzzing her wings.

Darksmoke stood there for a moment, formulating a reply. “You don’t need to apologize,” she said gently, “I don’t mind. I haven’t had anyone touch me, unless they were hurting me, since I was barely born.” Her eyes shifted to the floor in embarrassment. “I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.” she muttered.

She smiled and let out a small snort. “Sounds like we need to work on our communication.” As she spoke she moved closer until she was next to Sweet again. She put her mouth to the dragonet’s ear and whispered, “It would take a lot from you to make me uncomfortable.” Her voice was affectionate and gently she wound her tail around the tip of Sweet’s.

'I might explore the building? maybe tomorrow though." She muttered to herself. "Yeah," She pulled her head backward, flattening her ears. "communication." Her wings buzzed. "I normally communicate through body language, so...?"

Darksmoke felt discouraged. She could feel blood rushing to her cheeks, though it was hidden underneath pitch black scales. “Sorry.” She muttered as she backed up before hopping up onto her ledge and began reading the book on amnius powers. It detailed great power and how those dragons were much better than regular dragons and should be treated with upmost respect. Geez. Written by an amnuis much? With a snort of disgust she set the book down and instead picked up her usual one on rocks and minerals.

She sighed and closed her book. "Look," she said as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat, "I don't try to disassociate from you. I just... that was the only way I got through my abuse and survived. It was by disassociating and shutting down my mind. Obviously its something I need to work on." Then afterwards in a quieter voice she said, "I'm sorry."

"Ok then, lets go," Fatewatcher gave a somewhat forced grin as she peered into the future to see what foods were avalible, a nice deer, but if she tried to get that a icewing would yell at her and draw attention, which was the least she needed at the moment, a few fish, but one of them could make her sick, a hippo, that Echo might take, chickens, that Fatewatcher generaly disliked, and a cow, "Hmm, on second thought, want to go hunt? I know a good spot and theres not much in the prey center, a hippo was all I saw there that was actually decent, but theres a large rabbit family just a bit north of here that we could catch, what do you think?" She had quickly glanced into the future to find what prey would be the best, and besides the dangerous risk of a crocidile, nothing apealed to Fatewatcher or was good to eat.

She stared at the celling, sighing.

She nodded before going back to her book, although a few seconds later she looked up again. “You think we can go to the prey center now? I’m starving.”

</div>Darksmoke snorted. “I’ll go with you. I’m mostly nocturnal anyway, I don’t mind staying up and going with you at night. Plus,” a small grin played at her lips, “isn’t it rather romantic? Sneaking out at night and getting a late dinner, and then returning before anyone wakes up.” Almost as soon as the words left her lips she felt warmth run up to her cheeks. Why in all of everything did I say that? “Uhm… sorry I don’t think before I say things sometimes.”

She raised her eyebrow playfully. “Oh really?” But then she just laughed and went back to reading her book but not before asking, “And what, prey tell, do YOU know about romance?”

Not really romance but I read what I could get from the moon-forsaken 'scroll-corner'." She stretched out her wings. She rose up and went to go spy on other dragonets.

Darksmoke watched her go. Then she laid down so her wings were covering her face, and simple breathed in and out. Even though she knew that she liked the other dragonets interacting this much made her overstimulated. Eventually though, she uncovered her face and instead also walked out of the dens in search of interesting things. She enjoyed sneaking around.

(Oh BTW she is mostly covered in black markings that look like vitiligo)
She practically was one with the shadows expect for the few patches of dusky orange. The only thing you could see clearly were her tiny white pupils and teeth. She spied on the students, watching them goof off or play or fight.

As Darksmoke wandered, she saw Sweet spying on a couple of really young dragonets. She decided to surprise Sweet and gracefully melted into the darkness before coming up next to her. “Hey.” She said with a grin.

She quickly turned her head, looking like she was about to bolt then calmed down. "Don't scare me like that." She huffed.

She snorted. “Sorry. I let my intrusive thoughts win.” Then she glanced around at a dragonets who had noticed them. One of them, an Icewing from what Darksmoke could tell, boldly walked up to them. “Why do you have scratches on your face?” She stiffened. Then she slowly put her face close to the dragonet and hissed, “Have your parents ever taught you not to stare? It’s quite rude.”
With a look of fear, the dragonet scampered away. But then he came back with the other three. “It’s also rude to be mean to others. I’m gonna tell a professor!” Darksmoke had enough. She spread her wings to their full capacity and sneered at them. “Yeah? Try that, I dare you.” One of them screamed as Darksmoke realized that in her anger, she had neglected to be sure there wasn’t smoke coming out of her nose and mouth and now it was pouring out. But at least it scared them away, and they ran off. “Ugh.” She said as she settled her wings back onto her body. “I hate rude dragonets.”
