Aibek woke from his nap in a cave after stretching he stood and went to the entrance of the cave. Aibek had been flying all morning so he decided to walk. Aibek was an eye catching black and white moon/darkness dutch angel dragon leading to parts of his body like chest shoulders and most of his leg joints to have some fur on them, along with his wings being feathered, while the rest of him being somewhat scaley.

☆☆☆

Aibek had been wandering the mountains for a few days now, despite his past he still enjoys exploring. He has never settled down in one spot his always been on the move. Though he hope to one day find love and a home he has no desire for it at this moment, or dose he?

Aether stretched out on the rocky plateau, the mostly flat surface soaking up the mountain sun, while the breeze swirled almost constantly. Seeing as he was a mostly white dragon, with light markings, meant he was quite visible in the sunlight; but he didn't mind that, any strangers or dragons from rival areas would know that this was not their territory. Hopefully. After a few moments, he pushed himself up to a standing position, he was a sentry; and he should act like it instead of lying in the warmth. His flight, the name for a group of dragons, were out and about. Some soaring high in the sky, not as high as he could go though; some preening and resting in the sun, alone or with others; some searching for things around the terrtory.

It was a good life, living with a strong bunch of dragons, and having a pretty nice territory. Sure, rivals did attack sometimes, but they had beaten them off before. His tail flicked idly, the whip-thin end could produce quite a sound when he lashed it purposefully, he had used it to gain attention before.

Aibek often went through groups tarrtiorys sometimes getting caught other time makeing it out without spoting anyone. He always made it out with his life though. In the distance he heard a sound his ears went straight up but he didn't think much of it so he kept walking.

☆☆☆

After walking for a few hours he had gotten closer to whare the sound came from. Aibek could tell that he was coming to the center of a tarrtiory so he stoped and looked around spoting a dragon on a rock. Aibek hid behind a bush hopeing the dragon would soon leave so he could continue on his way.

Aether thought he spotted something.

Movement had flashed in the corner of his vision, promptly bringing his attention to it. His golden stare focused on the spot, around a bush. His nostrils flared, searching for any sign of a scent, an indication of what was creeping around on the ground below him. His large wings unfurled, readying to kick off but not in an active position quite yet; he stood taller, neck arching up but his head tilted downwards.

He gave a roar, the sound like a powerful gust of wind. Bringing the attention of the rest, behind him he heard grumbles and snarls, the flapping noise of wings unfurling or tucking in; the scrape of scales and claws on rock. While they had been dozing and relaxing, they were now on high alert, ready to attack and drive off whatever threat had ventured into their territory.

Aibek stayed silent and still hopeing to not be caught. The roar startled him but didn't dare move he lowered himself slowly to the ground. His mind was rasing would he be caught? Was he even silent or still? All Aibek could do is hope. He peeked his head up a little to see if the dragon had spotted him. Sertently not yet but it soon would find him.

☆☆☆

Aibek had to think, and fast, 'should I run? Go up thare and fight? Go up thare and act like I didn't know I was in thare tarrtiory? ahh!' He said in his mind

Aether looked away from the bush, almost uncertainly, to the leader of them all. She arched her neck like a snake about to strike, in a tight S shape, and gestured with her head for him to find whatever was worth alerting them all for.

He crouched, then launched into the air, driving his wings in a powerful downstroke to gain height, then kept his wings still and level as he let the winds keep him soaring. He angled his wings and body towards the spot he had seen the movement, circling in a loose circle above the bush, his head dropped so he could see downwards.

And indeed, he saw what looked like the black and white form of another dragon. A stranger. He roared again, more louder and carrying an undercurrent of threat in the sound; a warning to get out before he attacks. Then he tucked his wings and plunged into a nearly vertical dive. Before wrestling his wings out against the wind and softening his landing, but he still landed hard enough to cause a small tremor to run through the ground near him. His large wings tucked, tail lashing, and teeth bared, he gave a wordless growling rumble deep in his chest and throat.

Aidek stood and came into the clearing "look I was just passing through, i didn't know I was in someone's tarrtiory. I'm extremely sorry" he said lowering his head to the dragon. His wings stayed tucked in his tail lowered.

☆☆☆

He knew he would probably dead now, hiding and then saying what he said. He was ready for a fight though he didn't show it he had placed himself at an angel that would help him if it came down to

A fight.

Aether snapped his jaws in response, "Leave, now." he snarled, tail lashing; he purposefully flicked it in a particular manner, resulting in a startling cracking noise not unlike a cracking of a whip. For the group, it was looked down upon to attack a stranger that seemed to be acting submissive and not aggressive, and for them to attack one that actually accidentally wandered into the territory. Though if it happened more than once, then they were free to forcefully drive the intruder out.

Now that he thought about it, he thought this dragon looked familiar.

He dismissed the notion, probably another stranger that looked like him.

Aidek smirked "no fight huh." He asked flicking his tail raseing his head he was clearly ready for a fight ,flicking his tail he began walking off his sacles shimmered in the sunlight as he walked off. Not far he stoped and looked back at the dragon and smirking.

☆☆☆

He thought he had once seen the dragon before. Shaking his head he kept going.

The response of the dragon made him clench his teeth, tail lashing once in irritation, a low growl threatening to escape him. But he shook it off, and turned, leaping into the air and propelling himself skywards. He climbed upwards quickly, nearing the plateau he had been keeping guard on. As he shot in line with the rocky surface, his front claws grabbed onto the rock while leaning back and opening his wings wide to stop himself.
