"Wow, you picked up a lot of information, so have you figured out where the flashing came from? If it isn't from Pyrrhia, where could it possible have come from?" Mercury asked, pacing. "Maybe..." She said, looking up. "Maybe it was a punishment? From a different realm, like Starwings? Would they have given us this disease?" Mercury pondered.

Rhythm was a bit confused by this, mainly because it was all of her facts from when she first met Darkness up till now.
"Is it really that much? Sure I might be a bit more observant than the average dragon and have an extremely good memory, but it was only just a few days worth of information," she told Mercury.
"I don't have any facts or evidence to confirm that the Flashing came from the place where dead dragons go, so I can't really say. But then, wouldn't it be a bit contrary that a disease that may kill dragons comes from where dead dragons reside in? Either it would be the world's least funny sense of 'poetic justice', or it simply isn't the case," she explained.

"Well, where else would it come from? I haven't heard of any other diseases similar to the flashing. If there is any, we could find a strain of a similar but less deadly disease, we could use that as a sort of vaccination, or maybe find a cure using that information" Mercury observed. Since no other dragon had time for her, she spent a lot of time reading.

"So you know about medical procedures and the field of medicine? That's odd seeing as how you're an Ironwing," Rhythm said as she was perplexed.

"I had a lot of free time, once I learned how to read, I spent a lot of free time in the library, plus, Ironwings get sick too, y'know" Mercury told her. "I read all sorts of books, to impress other Ironwings with my amazing intelligence... but... it didn't exactly work out, they thought I was weird and annoying" The ironwing said.

"Scar... scar... no, it's not a scar," Darkness said, shaking her head slowly. "It's been there since the day I hatched. And... suffice it to say, my tribe hasn't had a very good relationship with animus dragons."
Blizzard watched Mercury, eyes wide. "Do you have medicinal plants of sorts in the caves, too? I've never been down in them, but they sound so different from up in the Ice Kingdom!"

"Umm... Maybe? If we do, I haven't seen them, though I never really left my cavern city until I came here" Mercury said, trying to remember if she saw anything like that growing in the caves. "There were some glowing mushrooms in the cave, I ate one once" Mercury remembered, blurting out the mistake of eating a glow-shroom when she was 3.

"We have some cacti that explode when lit on fire, once a dragon threw a cactus at me saying they wanted to play catch... that was the last time I ever played catch..." Coastal told the group, looking at her hands, shuddering, remembering the pain of grabbing a cactus. "Maybe if we figure out which dragon was the first to get the flashing, we can backtrack to find out where the disease originated, there has to be documents somewhere" Coastal said, proud of her idea.

Delta went out to join her siblings on the scouting trip around one of the streams, she tripped over her mud-stained talons a bit and paced after them, her bigwings Beetle crouched down, leaving his back open for her to climb on.
"Here, Delta; climb on my back." Beetle said, she climbed on. Trying not to take up as much space as possible, Beetle soared onto the sky. Delta held on tightly, afraid that the wind might blow her away.

When they got there, they saw a small group of dragons conversing. When they landed, Delta slid off Beetle.Unsure of what she should do.
Deluge, slid in front of her, his teeth bared. Delta looked up at him. Is he gonna attack? I hope not...
"Who are you?" Delta heard Deluge hiss out to the strange dragons, she took a step forward.. But Deluge shielded her off with his big pale dark brown wings.

Cloud looked around "so, did it work?" She asked.

Seeing the new dragons who are most likely hostile, Coastal reared to attack, showing her dangerous sandwing tail, snarling. "Well, since you're in Seawing-MY territory, I believe you better be the first to introduce yourselves, and I wouldn't try anything, we clearly outnumber you, you wouldn't stand much of a chance against us" Coastal hissed threateningly. The new attitude startled even Coastal at first, she'd always been so polite and quiet, nice and passive, so why was her approach so hostile?
