The New Beginning
Prologue:
The volcano was erupting! "The egg!" thought EclipseCaller. Her egg was hatching tonight but it had disappeared...She frantically searched for it. She had no time. The volcano was erupting and all the other NightWings had already sworn their allegiance to Glory. Queen Glory. But she wouldn't leave, she had to find her egg! Her mate was with her. "My secret mate..." She whispered "EclipseCaller...I don't think it survived..." She turned to her partner with tears in her eyes. Her mate, TreeFrog, was a sad grey-blue. They had met while EclipseCaller was hunting. It was love at first sight. Now, they were heartbroken. "We have to go" he said. "NO!" She yelled "I WOULD RATHER STAY HERE AND DIE!" She was crying fiercely and TreeFrog had no idea what to do...so he started to embrace her and as he did he said... "Me too" and with that the volcano erupted, covering both of them...and leaving nothing behind
Chapter 1:
Starfruit didn't think she was special. She was normal, regular. Wait, no. She was even LESS than that. She was a nobody. No one knew her. She had just walked into the rainforest one day...accompanied by a SeaWing patrol guard. Starfruit had never been around so many dragons! She lived alone on one of the islands in the Sea of a Thousand Bays. Her egg had washed up there and hatched...under 2 full moons. She grew up there alone. But she DID have food and water. She taught herself to speak, write and read. It was strange for her though. One time a blue dragon, a 'SeaWing' (what kind of name was that?) had swam past her and she heard him. His mouth didn't move and he didn't even see her but she heard something from him it was like he was talking and not talking at the same time. And she had these super weird daydreams all the TIME. They would come with these stupid headaches that she hated. 'I guess that's normal.' She would think.
But here in the rainforest it was stranger...and louder. No one talked to her but it was so loud. It was like a thunderstorm of voices. As soon as she got there she cried out and clapped her wings over her head. But the sounds kept coming. 'Why won't they stop?' She thought but could barely hear her own thoughts with all these voices in her head. The SeaWing looked at her weirdly then barked "Get up! I gotta take you to Queen Glory. Her Majesty's orders."
He pulled her up and dragged her with him. As they came closer to the NightWing village the voices in Starfruit's head became louder. She winced as she walked through and saw more and more dragons. She heard 'Who's she?"s or 'NightWing stranger?' and other rude comments as the SeaWing guard brought her to a dragon.
What was a NightWing? Was something wrong with her? The dragon the SeaWing had brought her to was graceful. Big and he looked strong. Deathbringer nodded at the SeaWing and peered at Starfruit. 'A NightWing stranger?' He said, or not said, or...whatever. 'Strange..' He said or didn't say.
"What's a NightWing? I don't know what that is. But I am definitely a stranger to this place. What am I doing here again?" Starfruit said.
Deathbringer's wings flared open and his eyes widened. "What?!" He cried then he...said/didn't say 'Can you hear me?'.
"Yes" Starfruit answered aloud "Hear ya loud and clear. A little too clear if you ask me. You know it's really strange."
She rambled on as Deathbringer took a small step back. "How do dragons talk even when their mouths don't move? They talk REALLY loud too. I mean, is that Draconian or is it some DIFFERENT language? Hmmmm...Is that normal? If it is it should NOT be"
She thought about it while Deathbringer waved to something in the air.
A light blue dragon appeared as Deathbringer whispered in his or her ear. "WOAH! Hey that was cool. Wait look, I bet I can do it too." Starfruit concentrated while Deathrbinger tried to hold in his laugh.
Suddenly, Starfruit disappeared.
