Dalerian sneered. "Being good ain't in my genetic code. I am just one step shy of evil." Then, he considered Ray's questions with a guarded ex
pression on his face before looking at the fiery plumage that was his wings. With one hand, he let his fingers rake through the downy soft, strong feathers, as he pulled his hand away, a feather lay in his open palm. It was glowing like a dying ember before it self-combusted in his hand. He let the ashes fall to the ground.

"It changes from time to time," he said, choosing his words carefully. "One day they can be like a raging infero, while others their just regular, harmless feathers."

Dalerian cocked his head slightly to the right. Why should he team up with her? He'd only just met her. Besides, he wasn't much of a team player. That is why he always worked and operated alone ever since he ran away from the orphanage where he grew up. Although, being with another person maximized survival percentages and he liked that. So, rather reluctantly, he gave a sharp nod of his head to agree with the humming girl infront of him.

Dalerian gave a quick nod of his head as she guessed most of his ability. "Along with Lightning and Lava," he said as he considered what Ray said about her ability. What she said did seem true since he ran into an invisible wall just moments before he met her.

Dalerian unfurled his wings slowly, its wingspan at twenty feet. He crouched down as his wings moved upwards before he beat down with them and shot up into the sky. Going up further than Ray. Reaching a point, he stopped and looked down at the girl, who was about seven feet below him. His mas-sive wings beat steadily as he hovered in one spot.

"Waiting on you now," he said.

Dalerian watched the girl with his cold, gray-green eyes and slowly followed the girl as she headed west. The only boy with the fiery plumaged stayed above the girl so he could see when she turned or landed. His wings thuded against the still air as he wondered if there were any warm thermals he could glide upon. But they would be higher than he is now. A frown threatened to curve his lips as he ran his fingers through his wind-played hair; getting it out of his eyes.

Hm...

Dalerian and Rayleigh were talking, and Star wanted to go explore the source of the scream... You didn't miss much.

((Ok thanks.))

Jake took a running start and leaped of the side of the mountain, falling for a few meters before snapping his wings out to fly. He flew below Star, the side of his wings that had the design towards her. He beat his black wings, almost immediately getting ahead of Star. He pulled back so he was right next to Star. "Gliding on the gust of wind is going to take too long. Besides, it leads slightly away from our destination. Come on." He held his hand out for her to take, hoping she would so they could get down to the source of the scream sooner. He felt through the shadows, finally feeling the presence of two people. One felt exhausted but still strong, the other felt mean. "Come on, hurry. I think we were right." He said worried. He wasn't much of a people person but if one of his kind was in trouble, he wouldnt hesitate to help.

"Sorry," Dalerian said curtly. "It just don't know where your head towards and didn't want to miss anything." Which was true. He had a vantage point above the girl; who was know flying a foot foot away from one of his wing tipes. As the wing beat against the air again, the primaries fanned out slightly, causing him to go slightly higher.

Star hesitantly took the boy's hand.  Why did she have to have such wimpy, useless wings?  But oh well, that was what she'd been given.  Better than nothing.  And he seemed to be good at flying.  And navigating for that matter.

She wished the clouds hadn't chosen to be so low and dark on this very day.  By the look of them, it was going to rain. Or it was going to rain.  Not anymore.  Because she was so close to them, the clouds had gotten a taste of her frigid temperature.  Not long after this, precipitation began to fall.  But it wasn't rain.  Nope, it was the white stuff.  And it wasn't even winter, this would look great to the humans.  Hopefully it wouldn't reveal their location.

"I'm sorry."  She glared at the falling flakes.  "But I have trouble containing my power sometimes."  Star only hoped that she wasn't freezing Jake, and she tried desperately to retract her coldness.

"It's fine," Ray said, and she scanned the sky. Snow, pure and white, was falling. "What the..." She held out her hand and watched a piece of the snow melt into a drop of water. "It's summer... This is impossible," she said, astonished. "The only explanation for this is..." She didn't finish.

Rayleigh made a sharp turn north, and didn't wait for Dalerian. "They're near. That's the only explanation," she said rather calmly to herself. The golden patterns on her wings began to stand out more as the falling snow wet her wings.

Dalerian watched the falling snow with a guarded ex
pression. But inside, he was shocked and bewildered on how something like this was happening during the warmest months of the year. He vaguely heard the snow hissing into water when the flakes hit his fiery wings as they beat against the now cold air. He tilted one head as he watched Rayleigh speed off before he decided to join her.

Mostly for his own reasons.

Beating his wings, he sped after the force-field-making girl and flew slightly to her right a good ways. So she wasn't hit with his wings. More snowflakes hissed as they melted.

Maybe you could mention Dalerian's wings? 'Cause their actually on fire at the moment.
