Once Again Known [Private EarthWings]

(Just gonna say Tani lived with Cossy cus why not Also, short post is short because other post was long )

Life had been hard, ever since Tani, the now elderly dragoness, had lost her children to the war of the humans. Her and Cosmos had been absolutely devastated. Xia and one other daughter were the only ones known to have survived the first strike. But when the second one came around, both of them disappeared. The humans had stolen/killed all of their children, and Tani had wanted to seek revenge on them immediately.

Luckily, Cosmos had managed to calm her down at the time, and convince her that violence was not the best answer. He told her that, in time, they would return to their former glory, and rid their once great empire of any human scum that dared to defy them. Tani had been soothed by her mate's words, and had decided to join him, in helping to rebuild the kingdom. And has since helped the new king, her adopted son, to rebuild it as well.

She and Cosmos had since become instructors together, but Tani still had that fighting spirit, and she would patrol the forests every three days, when she had the time. As she came back from a patrol, she spotted a mysterious, lime green dragoness. They were large, much larger than her, or any other Earthwing, for that matter. Cautious, the old dragoness approached her. When she saw the flowery frill, and that elogant posture, Tani instantly recognized the giant dragoness.

Taking a tentative step forward, the two met, face to face, for the first time in thirty years. With a low, frail voice, Tani questions, "Xia?"

Above the once-Queen, the Great Eagles soared and patrolled themselves. Baldirak had never been fond of his adopted mother's insistence on going to the surface so often every week to search for her real children. His fears and determination to keep his Tribe safe had been the cause of one or two disagreements. But eventually he had to give in to Rektani.

The Eagle Dwenal spotted a rather large, green Dragoness coming into the area the of the FireWings that the EarthWings still lived beneath undetected. He gave the usual signal as he flew lower. The mutant animals relayed a message to the Scouts below. This message was eventually given to the Earth King: an EarthWing has come to the area and met Rektani. Baldirak made his way to the surface by way of the cave and saw immediately the Dragoness that had wandered here. Something about her seemed very familiar, but at the moment, he couldn't place it. He limped over to the pair, moving to stand beside Rektani. "Do you know this Dragoness, Mother? Who is she?"

A quiet, spring morning came and fell into a warm noon, Cosmos patiently sat in his chambers humming a melody of which embraced memories of his old Kingdom. The elderly monarch smiled down to his talons, opening his eyes to see that it was about time he'd go out to meet his mate, Rektani, out on the fields of the Haven.

He arose from his position of comfort and peace, proceeding to the chamber exits and towards the entrance of the Haven. Many greetings and many farewells were bidded to him as he walked down the crowding halls of the Haven. How pleasant were the sweet voices of his people, kin and friend alike. He knew just about every soul dwelling within these walls, and was treated in high regard for his past accomplishments and titles. It was certainly a lovely thing to wake up to in the mornings.

Cosmos finally made it out of the Haven with much displeasure. His size had barely fit into the Haven with any comfort, really, but his body adapted to the living conditions in a matter of time and managed to find ways to pull himself out without doing much of a thing. There, in the nearby distance, was his elderly mate and adopted Son, now King of the thriving tribe... and, another?

The sight was a pleasant surprise but also struck him with a bit of worry. They didn't get any visitors, and when they did, it was of high importance. But, the 'visitor' was about as large as he was, and had a sense of deja vu to it's looks.

He sensed a thin, yet dense, connection to this person, but no words were spoken. How odd was this? It was only his children who were as big as he-

Cosmos paused.

Her smell, her atmosphere, her eyes, her scales, her wings, could it be?...

Cosmos trotted over to the scene with haste, an eager expression frozen to his lips and a bit of a pleasant distraught in his old, weaken eyes. And there, not greeting his beloved ones, he stood in shock, his jaw descended to it's extent, and stood there speechless.

"Xia... darling?..."

The Earth King looked from his adopted parent to the larger EarthWing before them. It wasn't long before he felt familiar, heavy paws shaking the ground. He grimaced as the trembling aggravated his leg and he couldn't help but wish he could make his father as small as a SkyWing. In the meantime, the Dragoness, whom apparently was Rektani's daughter, introduced herself. Baldirak smiled and dipped his head in turn. "And you, Child of Earthil. Xia... I remember that name. You were so young, then... I am Baldirak, once a protector of you and your family. Now I lead the EarthWings and try to convince Cosmos, however feeblely, to actually retire. Ah, speaking of Cosmos..." he turned around, having noticed the giant's pawsteps had gotten closer. He backed away as Cosmos approached to see his daughter. Without waiting for a response from Xia, Baldirak slipped away from the three to return to the Haven.

(Cossy pls o3o)

(I mean post, plz )

(Bump....)

(I'm just going to end this topic, cus It's obvious no one is posting.)

Truly, it was a miracle. A miracle that such good luck could abound ripely, even after all of the torment that had befallen the Earth Kingdom. Two princesses had returned in one day. Family had been reunited. Indeed, it seemed as if things were starting to look up for the Earth Kingdom. And as her family embraced them with open arms and wings, Xia couldn't help but look up at the sky, feeling incredibly grateful for all of this.

Thank you, god of life, for this true miracle.
