Another Time

He didn’t really know how it had worked out. He knew Dusk had always hated him he didn’t know how them being together had worked out. Well it was ok at first but better then he imagined in his mind it worked out.
Dawn bent his head pushing on through the desert, With the sun beating down on him. Even SandWings had trouble in this heat. But he couldn’t give up especially with his little hut there in the distance closer to it than he had ever been that week.
It felt like decades until he finally stumbled to the door step and knocked with a faint bang.
Dusk opened the door and glared down at him ,”It‘s about time you came,” She muttered standing to the side to let him in.
”I have work, I can’t be helping you and the dragonets every step of the way,” Dawn replied, flopping down on a camel hair blanket which was spread out on the sandy ground.
”Well you should!” His wife retorted ,”When you’re a father you should be prepared to help me and your dragonets!” She shook her head and sighed.
Dawn stood up to his full height and spread his diamond studded black wings “When you have work like mine it’s a little hard to help the Queen and look after my family! Especially when I have to leave so often!”
Dusk shook her head and went into the sleeping room, where the dragonets must be.
Always expecting the best in dragons, Dawn thought, She’ll never change, not now anyway.
Dawn put down his leather bag and went into the room him and Dawn shared. He flopped onto the bed and fell asleep.
The sun flooded in waking Dawn up. Damn desert sun, he thought.
He got up and noticed something. Dawn wasn’t in the room. Maybe she was in the main room, but no! She was no where to be seen! Along with her the children were gone too! The house was empty.
Dawn looked outside and saw three shapes winging away in the distance. He knew who they were they were his family the family who’d abandoned him!
“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING!!?” Dusk roared as him grabbed her tail making her notice him.
”What do you think you’re doing,” Dawn retorted.
”Going,”She replied “Running...away.”
Dawn looked at her she seemed ashamed, then triumphant, she seemed sad then happy, she seemed like she thought it was the wrong thing to do then she thought it was the right, she seemed like she didn’t want to do it, then she felt she had to.
The two small dragonets looked from one parent to the other. Confused expressions on their faces. Why were their parents fighting like this?
“Can we land?” Dawn asked.
”No” Dusk replied curtly, she turned around and started flying away with Salamander and Horizen following in her wake.
She looked over her shoulder “Another time Dawn another time.”
And with that she flew off leaving Dawn beating his wings feeling the loneliest he had ever been.
