Hello, I'm Scheffler. I am a RainWing and a SeaWing. As a hybrid, I gained the abilities of a SeaWing's gills and fluorescent scales from my mom and long tail and color change from my dad while trading venom shooting and the long fangs. I don't have a problem with being a hybrid and everyone in the rain forest is fine. Even though I don't think they notice. I'm not as lazy as the other dragons in the forest but I do like rest and suntime.
But there was no sun. It was raining. Not as in gloomy rain but as in rain rain. It was a very heavy rain. Slamming the leaves and hit the ground. There was more wind than usual. I only assumed it was a hurricane.
The other dragons had to move into the gathering hall because all of their hammocks were blown away or in the process of. My hammock is set under the Queen's hut in between two beams helping to support the platform.
Queen Glory and Deathbringer don't mind. Deathbringer will actually sit on the platform and talk to me when Glory gets mad at him. Which happens a lot.
They just invented a new system of lamps for the rainforest. Since we don't allow fire, we got lightning bug lamps. The lamps are all connected to a central lighting bug station and they float into a glass lamp and close it off at night and re-open it in the mourning.
BOOOM!
Not expecting the lightning, I jumped in my hammock and turned a yellowish green in shock and all the lights on arms light up.
Every rainwing has their neutral colors when they aren't feeling an emotion. My neutral colors are
I resettled back in my hammock, released the fireflies and prayed not to die a wet and windy death.
The next morning
I woke up to the sound of dragons working on the damage from the hurricane. Look out into the jungle I saw it was bad. Half of the tree had their leaves striped off and the rest where on the ground. I have never see the rainforest destroyed like this. The worst was 4 years ago when a Nightwing accident let a little bit of a lot of fire lose in a building. You could just make out the ocean from my hammock.
I heard Queen Glory open her door and she flew down to me.
"Are you still alive done there?" She asked
"I don't know, I'll have to check back in with you later about that," I smiled. Queen Glory flew off towards the main damage. I decided that laying around all day would get boring and there are others that may need help. My friend Rubber lives not to far south of here so I went and checked up of him.
The forest was harder to navigate due to the lost of some landmarks like Papaya's Papayas and Lovely Leaves. I managed to make it to Rub's hut. It wasn't as bad as some other but did need repairs.
"Hey Rubs," I called from above.
"Hey Scheffler, can you hand me that board right there?"
"Sure thing." Rubs real name is Rubber but he insist on Rubs. We have been friends for along time. I handed him the plank and found his sloth loathing at the foot of his bed. "Found Fluffles," I said.
"SARGENT OFFICER FLUFFLES THE THIRD" Rubs gasped, dropping the plank I just handed and ran to Fluffles, "There you are. I thought you were a goner." Fluffles is always in that spot. Sometimes I think he's dead. Rubs got Fluffles for his 3rd hatching day. Rubs and I were born in the same hatching group so we are pretty close. We learned to fly together, read together, laugh together, almost died together but that's a story for another day. We're basically best bros.
After about two hours, we finished patching up his hut with big leaves and mud to the best of our abilities. I parted with him and wanted to check in on Cacao. Cacao is my father. Dad allowed me to live by myself since mom isn't here. I arrived at father's hut and to my surprise it was in good condition.
"Hey sport," father called out, "long time no see."
Typical father saying.
"Nothing much just came by to see how things were going and everything seems in order."
"Thanks for checking in on your old man."
"Your not old at all and stop saying those fartherly things."
"I know. I just really wanted to say those since my dad always annoyed me that way. So I wanted to take annoyance out on you."
"Like father, like son."
"How did you fair the storm?" hasked
"I did pretty well."
"So," he started to make a face with a smile showing that he is going to ask a personal question, "how's the lady front going?"
"DAD!" I shouted back.
"What? I just wanted to see if you got girlfriend. A father has got to know."
He actually got on his knees and started begging. "Well sorry to break it to you but no relationship here. I guess I'm not in a rush. Small hammock.
"Big rainforest. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. It was good to talk to you." father said getting back to all fours.
"Bye father," I spoke while hugging him.
"Bye son. See you around," he said in a choked-up voice. He always does that when I leave. It shows that he loves me. As I flew I saw Papaya's Papayas, or part of it. It seems as Papaya worked all day to make a makeshift stand for the shop. I glided down to the store and bought some Papaya's Papayas Papaya Punch. The sun started to set and I flew back to my hammock.
As I settled back in, I realized how tired I was after helping clean up and all the flying. I drifted to sleep wondering what would tomorrow will bring
