Azure looked down for a moment. "I see..."

His wings stretched as his eyes moved around the area. "Umm, where is he?"

Helio and Cerule looked to each other before turning back to him. "He flew out to go catch a meal."

The dragon nodded in response. "Okay. Did...much happen when I was..."

Helio's eyes motioned downwards along with his neck drooping. "There was a scolding."

Cerule nuzzled Azure and looked to the dim lighting of outside. "Yeah...although, you probably won't have to sit through one."

Azure sighed in relief. "Hopefully."

The trio went silent and awaited Lord Kra'zzerix's return. A brief moment later, the sound of large flapping wings caught the blue eyed dragons' attention; immediately following the noise, a familiar dragon backed into the den, dragging in a decent sized freshly hunted monster.

"Eat up boys." Krazzerix turned to see Azure regained consciousness. "So it seems you've awoken Azure, after you finish we need to have a talk, understood?" His eyes narrowed at the white dragon.

A chill coursed through his spine, causing him to shudder. He immediately nodded. "Yes sir."

Kra'zzerix set himself near the boulder then into a laying position. He watched the trio approach the zebra.

The three white dragons eyed another before biting into the fresh meat. It wasn't the most pleasant tasting beast, but they were in no position to complain; being they were getting free meals.

Kra'zzerix laid down on his belly observing the trio consume the meal. His eyes focused on Azure primarily; keeping close watch on him.

Azure found himself eating slowly, expecting a scolding and trying to delay the inevitable. It was early into the morning hours, and he knew all to better that Red Eyed Dragons were nocturnal, which meant the dragon Lord could most likely go on for some time. He gave a mental sigh, which his brothers heard.

"Azure?"

"I didn't mean for you guys to hear that..."

"Oh..."

"Hopefully he won't draw it out for too long."

Hopefully..."

Kra'zzerix noticed the slight hesitation in Azure's eating. "Not hungry then Azure?" A smirk spread on his face.

The young dragon tensed up, taking a larger bite than he expected. He turned to him, after harshly swallowing the chunk of meat. "I-I am sir.."

"Well go on then. Eat up." Kra'zzerix waved his paw dismissing the notion.

Azure slowly turned back to the zebra and took another bite out of it. Cerule and Helio glanced at another for a moment as they continued eating.

Twenty or so minutes had passed, the three dragons rendering the corpse to a bloodied skeleton. Azure tensed up, giving a slight sigh again.

"We're going to stay on alert for you."

"Thanks guys.."

"We're brothers, we stick up for one another."

"Cerule's right, if it gets bad just let us know and we'll do what we can."

He's understanding somewhat, and he's calmed down I think.."

_ "I really appreciate that Cerule, Helio, I don't know what I'd do without you both."_

"Helio. Cerule." The three white dragons jumped hearing the Red Eyed Lord interrupt their conversation.

"Y-yes, Lord Kra'zzerix?" They answered simultaneously. Azure hesitantly gulped.

He flicked his head to the nest. "Rest in the nest, your brother will join you momentarily." The duo gave shallow nods and padded over to the nest, Azure watching them go. "As for you Azure."

The young dragon snapped his attention to the larger dragon. "Y-yes sir?"

Kra'zzerix beckoned him over with the wave of his claws and patted the spot in front of him with his other paw. "Right here, please."

Azure glanced over at his brothers once more, they had settled into the nest. A quick breath relieved some of his tension before he cautiously padded to Krazzerix. The white dragon hesitantly sat down in front of the black dragon.

The larger black male turned to the two dragons within the nest, watching them nuzzle against another and laying down patiently. He turned back to Azure with a smirk. "Feeling better?"

The smirk had already put the white dragon at unease, the sudden question brought mixed emotions. "Uh.. Y-yes.." He gave two nods.

Lord Kra'zzerix chuckled lightly. "You are free to lay, Azure."

"O-oh." He gently laid on his belly.

"Hold still for a moment." The Red Eyed male pressed his snout against Azure's neck, making the younger dragon flinch. He pulled away giving a slight nod. "Now then, care to explain what happened during our flight here?"

Azure looked down for a moment, trepidatious to speak.

"Well?"

"I.." He took an inhale "Have moments from time to time during flight when I lose consciousness." He admitted, whimpering lowly.

Kra'zzerix quirked an eye ridge. "How frequently does this happen?"

Azure slowly focused his eyes on Kra'zzerix. "Not very often, it mostly occurs at higher altitudes for me..."

The black dragon gestured for Azure to lay by his side, the dragon decided to move less reluctantly than previously. The white dragon leaned into the larger male's side slightly. "Why do your brothers not know of this?"

"We tend to avoid flying too much, they may have forgotten."

"I see."

Azure's eyes found their way to his paws as he gently made circles.

"Tell me something, and I want you to be honest with me, Azure." The Blue Eyed dragon met his gaze. "I'm sure that your brothers informed you of the talk I had with them yes?"

Azure slowly nodded his head. "Th-they did."

"Do you fear me?" The question repeated itself slowly in the dragon's head. Azure wasn't sure if what to answer, he hesitated in giving a reply thinking about his choice of words carefully. "The truth Azure."

The white dragon met Kra'zzerix's gaze once more. "I.. did, Lord Kra'zzerix..."

The Red Eyed Lord gave a nod. "And now?" The dragon slowly shook his head.
