plot
- Sawtooth is discontent with his upcoming wedding. Dolphin is certainly beautiful, but is stuck-up, vain, and entitled.
- He goes on a long swim to clear his head and get away from his duties as a husband-to-be
- He gets too close to the SkyWing kingdom while hunting, and is captured after a chase.
- Chained up by the arena, he meets Airglow- some sort of odd hybrid.
- Airglow feels bad for Sawtooth and tries to make small conversation before being dragged into the arena
they gotta escape
as they do they meet Smokefall
she insists they get Sawtooth and Airglow home, they're like ok Airglow first
goal is to get to Jade Mountain
they get to the rainforest while being pursued by skywings, and they learn more about each other along the way
sawtooth catches himself imagining "what ifs," what if he ran away with them, what if he never had to marry Dolphin, etc
they get to the rainforest and this is where they're supposed to split
they say reluctant goodbyes and smokefall has to decide where to go, eventually choosing airglow
sawtooth travels by himself for hours, airglow and smokefall won't leave his mind. he misses them and cries a bit
it gets dark and sawtooth goes to sleep
wakes up to crashing through the woods. he hides but surprise it's actually airglow!
airglow does the whole "i can't imagine my life without you anymore i know how stupid it sounds but it's meant to be" and sawtooth does the same
they travel together and smokefall catches up soon after, having a similar confession moment
they kinda fightish about it but hey we can all date each other i guess? we'll see how it works (it works very well)
sawtooth has to go back and call off his wedding or whatevers going on
coral does not take it well and neither does Dolphin but sawtooth leaves anyway
join talons of peace yay happy relationship
