Work Text:
The grass was soft under Hailstorm’s talons, the sky’s colors bleeding into beautiful shades of orange.
He felt at peace for once in his life - he had a wonderful partner named Mandrake and his mind was clear now that Pyrite was mostly gone.
Mostly…
Sometimes she’d come back as a voice inside Hailstorm’s head; even if she wasn’t there, he could feel that Pyrite was hovering over.
But that didn’t matter now, he was talking to Mandrake; a slightly shy but kind LeafWing who he fell in love with a few moons ago.
Mandrake was talking about life in the Poison Jungle when Hailstorm felt a cold presence near him
Pyrite, no doubt
Why was she back? Why now?
Instantly, Pyrite started whispering:
“Hailstorm I’m bac-oooo, who’s he? He looks kinda weird”
“None of your business, Pyrite, now leave me alone.” Hailstorm shot back in his mind
But Pyrite wasn’t listening:
“He is not that good, Queen Scarlet is WAYY better!!!”
This time, Hailstorm ignored her and continued listening to his partner’s stories
Pyrite tried again, saying more about the deceased Ex-Queen Scarlet, but Hailstorm wouldn’t budge.
Eventually, she left because it was kinda getting boring.
