Emerald, Nautilus, and Hailstorm all woke up the next morning, covered in dew, Emerald yawned and saw that Nautilus had slept next to her all night while Hailstorm was by himself. I wonder why he was by himself? She wondered. “Good morning to you, and good morning to you” Nautilus said cheerfully, Hailstorm, still waking up, made a small hissing noise from deep in his throat. Nautilus went hunting and came back shortly after. They all had a good fill of breakfast. But Hailstorm still was in a grumpy mood, he slumped onto the grass nest he made last night, he tried to sound cheerful while eating breakfast.but Emerald could tell that he was upset about something. “does anyone smell something?” Emerald asked, she thought she smelled blood but was probably just smelling the food they just ate. “No…” Hailstorm mumbled, “not at all” Nautilus said “besides the blood from breakfast I smell none” “huh…” Emerald shrugged “maybe my nose is messing with me” “your nose looks fine to me, oh wait no! It’s broken!” Nautilus said teasingly, Hailstorm snorted and curled up even tighter. Emerald had noticed that he had not touched his food. “Hailstorm?” Hailstorm moved his head slightly and lifted his ear to listen “are you not hungry or something?” She asked “your not sick are you?” “No I’m fine-perfectly fine…” he said, clearly not.

“Really? You don’t seem to be fine-perfectly fine!” Nautilus said playfully, as Nautilus said that Hailstorm hissed like a snake that had it tail stepped on. “Um-hey Nautilus?” Emerald asked as Nautilus looked at her “could you maybe go g we me another rabbit or something? I’m-uh-still a little hungry” “sure!” Nautilus said happily. As Nautilus flew off, Emerald walked over to Hailstorm, his deep blue eyes obviously troubled. “Hey” she said as she laid down next to him, she shivered a little bit do to his freezing scales, he noticed and sat up and inched a little bit farther from her “what?…” “what’s on your mind? You seem to be upset…” YES IM UPSET! He wanted to roar ITS OBVIOUS THAT NAUTILUS LOVES YOU. “I’m fine” he said “tell me what’s wrong” “nothing is wrong!” “WHAT IS WRONG?!” “NOTHING!” He pounced on her and pinned her down, he winced because of his wing but he didn’t care, he stared at her, face to face, he had never noticed how beautiful her eyes and scales were. Her eyes were like deep blackish purple pools of obsidian, and her scales were warm and comforting, and they shined like treasure.they also had beautiful colors of red,orange,and hints of beetle black. He got off of her, amazed by her beauty, but also her fierce attitude that could scorch every tree in the ember kingdom. It was very clear to her that he was in love with her…
