ur single existing moonbli fic. ACTUALLY IN CHARACTER for once. Set after Darkness of Dragons.

This is assuming Moon doesn't have some Lost Continent prophecy. The LCD visits Thorn, Jerboa comes too, they introduce themselves, and a squadron of 21 dragons from each tribe go. one seawing comes back after 2 and a half years, says that there is a language barrier, along with the tribes' appearances, abilities, and a bit on their societies. A lot of theorizing, a lot of recent scrolls on it, part of Webs's history lessons and occasionally in small-group discussion classes. Thats it. nothing else. no adventure (most likely. I might turn the story in a different direction later.)

I edited and went into more depth on this chapter, so u may wanna reread it

The story takes place some time after the epilogue. 3 years, let's say, so Moon is an adult now. Qibli went back to JMA, after moon and thorn convinced him. He left after he finished that year and the next year, though, because he insisted that he wasn't a dragonet anymore so he had to serve Thorn. Qibli still visits moon tho.

Qibli's Point-of-View

Today is it.

Qibli's mind was on overdrive. He couldn't see the future, but from the way Moon described Clearsight, he was sure extreme panic could produce something similar.

Stop it, he berated himself. This is NOT the time.

The SandWing went over to see Moon every two weeks. Thorn had arranged it so nothing could interfere with his time with Moonwatcher, as she called it "checking up on the 'cademy". After he spent around at the Academy, he would go to Sanctuary, then the Rainforest, both villages, then loop around to Possibility, and return the former Outclaw's new stronghold-palace thing. He did the ambassador job once a month, however. The other time he went there during the month, it was just Jade Mountain.

Qibli walked over to his desk. The SandWing opened the bottom desk drawer. There was a pouch with a black leather cord. In it held his skyfire and his old library card. He picked it up and swung tied it around his neck.

He needed tell Thorn that he was leaving. Just after that thought, he remembered something. Thorn was at the Scorpion Den, checking up on the city she once ruled. She still does, though. Just not as nearly as hands-on anymore. We didn't even know Grandfather took control of the city.

He flew over to Six-Claws, who was flying with Smolder over the Succession Courtyard, as it had been dubbed. As Qibli got closer, he heard Six-Claws saying, "What about Lazulite?"

"Now you're throwing just anything that comes off the top of your head. We're talking about a dragon!" Smolder was angry about something, or rather irritated. His mocking, sarcastic tone was almost nonexistent.

Oh, Qibli realized. They're talking about the egg. Smolder and Thorn had an egg about 4 months ago. He never really got why Thorn liked Smolder in that way.

The SandWing approached the two conversing, or maybe arguing, dragons. "Hey guys." He nodded to each of them. "I'm leaving to go see M-" Six-Claws started snickering, even though he was full grown dragon. " - to see the Academy."

Six-Claws regained his composure. "Okay, Qibli. Don'-" Smolder cut him off, "accidentally stay too long and miss the meeting with Glory because of your GIRL-friend."

"You have a mate yourself, so why are you mocking me?" The snout-scarred dragon pointed out.

Smolder changed the subject rather quickly, "Well, you must be leaving. Bye!"

Qibli threw him an odd look before spreading his wings and soaring above them, sailing toward the Academy.

After some time, he saw a messy attempt at walls and firelight in the distance. The sun was setting, but the SandWing assessed that he could get there by nightfall if he went just a bit quicker. Sure enough, he arrived, but he didn't get inside because of the "Halt!" from a large dragon coming to him from an entrance. Qibli was surprised they put guards back up. Grandfather changed it in a few months, he corrected himself. It should only take a few months to get it back to normal, too.

"Who are you?" The SandWing smirked, as if she had found her long-awaited prey.

"Qibli, trusted advisor of Queen Thorn," he replied, matching the guard's expression.

The guard moved aside, smirk quickly disappearing. She made a gesture with her wings, as if "go ahead, walk through."

Qibli stepped through the gates, and what he saw genuinely surprised even him.

chapter one! Hoped you liked it!

the rating is "T" so it would show up in the general ratings. In a later chapter, it might switch over to "M", as in, ya know, lemon, so keep watch for that! I'll have a link to a SEPARATE story. The chapter page will be the link (with a warning, if course) and I'll continue on with the other chapters after that.
