Hailstorm: male ice wyvern, 8 year old

Droplet: female blood wyvern, 10 year old

As Nautilus flew around looking for something to eat, he thought of ways to kill the other wyverns. He was an assassin, and that’s why he was thought as a traitor in his kingdom, because he was a murderer. And his tasks were to kill royals, but when he saw Emerald and realized that she was royalty, he felt terrible and torn in two. He wanted to show everyone in his kingdom he was loyal to king Eel, but he was in love with Emerald. “What am I gonna do?…” he muttered to himself “your an assassin for crying out loud Nautilus, and here you are falling in love with your target…” he thought of her and then hatched a brilliant idea “I know what to do!” He said to himself “ if I murder the ice wyvern, then I’d have still killed a royal!” He was plotting how to do that when he smelled blood. He looked around and thought he saw deep red scales. He remembered his fighting skills his fellow assassins had taught him for fighting situations. He instantly dived into the water with a small, quiet splash. He poked his head above the water. His scales didn’t exactly match the water do to his scales being teal. He watched and waited. Then he saw more red scales. “I thought I smelled something…” he heard an unfamiliar voice say. a blood wyvern walked out from behind a bush, her scales reeking of blood and her eyes pointed into slits. She then hissed and walked over to the water to get a drink. As she dipped her head to drink Nautilus jumped out of the water and pounced on her. She was maybe a year or two older then him. When he had her pinned down to the ground, she flailed and roared but couldn’t get back up to attack her attacker. “Who are you?!” Nautilus snarled “and what are you doing here?” She glared at him with pure rage and hatred and he heard her inhale, he saw that she was about to blast him with deadly burning blood. He stabbed her underbelly with his talons, he knew his wyvern anatomy well and knew he had stabbed her in her bladder. She roared in pain as dark, hot blood poured from her belly. It bubbled around Nautilus’s talons but of course he didn’t mind, he’s an assassin so he’s used to the blood “Stop stop stop!” The blood wyvern roared and hissed as more blood poured from her side “just stop, I’ll tell you who I am if you stop KILLING ME!” He got off of her, as she got up more blood poured and bubbles from her side, she was a little wobbly from all the blood loss but stood up bravely. Her teeth bared and her eyes filled with pain and fury. “Well?” Nautilus said in a bored voice “it’s…Droplet…” she muttered “well hello Droplet” Nautilus said “ now shall we tend your wound?” “No” she said harshly “I can take care of myself, thank you” Nautilus shook his head and grabbed a palm leaf from a tree. As he bent down to rap it around her wound, she opened her mouth wide and bit down hard on his neck. He clawed at her helplessly as she fastened her teeth on his neck. They stayed like that for a while until Nautilus eventually lost consciousness…
