TW: Death and mention of death and weapons! SANCTUARY’S SECRET Prologue. The nightwing buried her head in her talons, couldn't she do anything right?!? She sighs and twirls a pebble in her claws, trying to think of a good spell. “Nevermind, screw this.” She mutters, “I’ll just go to a remote cave where I can never hurt another dragon.” she decides, enchanting the pebble to show her the closest remote cave and she follows it. She inspects the cave, it's big, but not too big and has lichen all over the walls “this will work” she thinks. She manages to make it kinda cozy, for a cave at least, and lies down in her hidden cave. Weeks go by and nothing changes, in fact, she thinks it's getting worse, the solitary silence isn't helping at all with her stress. She leaves the cave to go for a walk when she decides to make something no animus has ever done before. She rips a chunk of grass off the ground and mutters into it “I enchant this grass to turn into a clockwork astrolabe made of gold and obsidian. Let its gears spin and tick in perfect harmony to hold my mind. Because my physical skull is fracturing, let the core of my logic, my memories, and my consciousness flow into this creation.When my body dies and forgets who I am, let my soul awaken safely inside these gears, remaining buried and silent in the earth until the time is right." She smiles as the grass slowly morphs into a gold and obsidian astrolabe, so real you couldn't even tell it came from a bunch of grass. She then looks for a good place to hide it, after a whole hour of finding decent spots but insisting there's a better spot nearby, she comes across a big field and smiles again. She digs a hole for it in the middle of the field and covers it back up again, packing the dirt down with her tail. She had just finished burying it when she heard shouts “THERE SHE IS! NEBULA!” the voice says, sounding angry. Nebula is frozen in fear and sees the royal nightwing assassin speeding towards her, and she doesn't have time to react when a sharp silver disk is thrown right at her throat, and everything goes black.
