blood warning, obviously.

I missed yesterday (whoopsy daisies) but I finally got this one done- I realized I should not do fullbodies for this.

Sonica hadn't always wanted wings- as a hatchling, she'd thought that her lack of them was what made her special- her father had told her. Sometimes, she'd stare at the sky and wonder, what it be like to be up there, soaring through currents and watching everything below. But either way, it was dangerous, in the middle of a war.
But that wonder had turned into desire when Sonica witnessed the sky dragons swoop down from the heavens, talons outstretched, as they reached for her father's neck. His screams echoed through the canyons, she still remembered them- and after that, she still felt vulnerable looking up, terrified that the same might happen to her, and the Earth Elements would truly be extinct.
And now, finally, the horrifying screams of her dying father had been replaced by the horrified screams of her worst enemy, as her wings were ripped out, with Sonica's own talons. Coriander was next, his limp body floating through the ocean currents as the blood left his body to swim in spirals around Sonica. And the same had, no doubt, happened to Current as well- but that one was a fighter. It had been satisfying to see her writhe in pain, but nowhere near as satisfying as the feeling or freedom, the lack of fear, the fear that had controlled her since hatchlinghood. She was independent now, with no need for anyone's protection or control.
That small bit of aching had never left her heart, though, the aching for her father, for Nightshade, for Drizzle and even Miasma. The only families she'd ever known, and now she had revenge.
It had been painful, the threads and needles piercing her flesh and touching her bones. But it was all worth it to finally see not one, but two, pairs of wings extending from her back. It made her feel powerful, just as powerful as the same dragon who'd murdered her father and the dragons that had taken her families.
Now, Sonica finally had her wings.
