Hey, it's DimensionTraveler23. In this story, I have been rping with my wonderful, helpful writer friend, 'Liliana Dragonshard'. I have read some of her stories, and she's very good at writing like us all. So, I ask you to visit her page and read, or read our story we made here. Wings of Clawheart is adapted of a idea from Liliana, and I have adapted her writing on my work, so we are working together for the story. Have fun, viewers! Oh, and please give reviews.

(Airi's P.O.V.)

My name is Sierra Airi Draco, or Clawheart by my clanmates, and this is the story of how I became a Night Fury and stopped a great battle, deaths, and sorrow in another world. But I'm getting ahead of myself. For me, it was an ordinary day when I met Sunrise and was offered a position in the clan.

I was evading the police and digging for scraps, trying to sing for money with a busted up mp3 player to play some background. I was wearing raggedy jeans with holes in the knees, stained leather boots, a pale grey short sleeved shirt and tattered black hoodie. Another problem for me was I was literally half-blind; I could barely see most of what was going on around me. I could make out colors, sorta, but the rest was primarily silhouettes and the shadowed outlines of faces and objects. It was especially hard during winter, when there were even fewer colors for me to make out to help me find my way. As I said before, it was a pretty ordinary day. I'd managed to earn a few dollars over the past week or so and was hoping to buy some food from a Dollar Tree store nearby. I intentionally stuffed a little extra in my pockets, trying to hide the fact that I was stealing. My appearance was bad enough, but I didn't need to attract more attention that necessary.

After paying for the chocolate, I wandered out of the store and was heading out of the parking lot when someone started yelling "Thief! Get back here!" so I did what anyone else in my position would do. I bolted, sprinting for the nearest alley and beginning to crisscross here and there, jaywalking, hiding behind objects, and generally trying to make it hard for them to follow my footsteps. It was more than freezing by the time I stopped to rest and nibble on the food I'd gotten, the best in a day or so.

When I finally got up to get moving again, I realized that I was in an unfamiliar neighborhood. That's around the time that Sunrise found me. It was almost-dark, and I'd dug a tiny shelter against the wind in a snowbank that had formed on the side of an abandoned building. Turns out the building was actually not as abandoned as I thought, and housed the Sierra Travelers Clan and their HQ.

And then I was offered the deal of a lifetime. Obviously, I accepted.

(Sunrise's P.O.V.)

I was patrolling the western border of my territory that belongs to my clan, the Sierra Travelers Clan. I was concerned about this winter since it is one of the toughest winters I have ever seen. It has been months since Ferntooth aka Jade has left for her world of Bambi. And the South Siders gang has been getting a bit suspicious lately since they have been a thorn towards me and the clan. We have been fighting them for almost 8 years, and I never been more prouder of my clanmates more than ever! I was wearing a heavy cotton purple coat over a tan brown sweatshirt, under a medium blue long-sleeved shirt, and black pants, and tan faux furred boots.

I finished up patrolling the border, checking on markers and all, as I headed back to Upworld House, HQ for my clan. I looked at my beloved building, and saw that there's a rather big snowdrift on my right side of view. Hmm, I better get some people to dig that out, since I don't want any snow to collapse on HQ below. Wait, what's that I see? As I got closer, I looked to see a dug hole, and I saw color. I leaned in the hole, widening my eyes as I saw a stray girl sleeping, her clothes rather filthy and tattered. It was a rather strange sight, for how did she get through here without alerting any other clanmates? Huh, she's not South Sider. Must be one of the usual homeless that linger around here through the seasons. But, darn, it's winter. It must be freezing for her. I sighed, shaking her shoulder, startling her awake. Instantly, she came into me. Clawing and shouting, she was, until I overwhelmed her with some of my warrior techniques. She stared at me, I gasped at her eyes. They are pale blue, but not it, she's a bit cloudy. Lord, she must be good at fighting while half-blind!

She told me to get off, and I told her to stop fighting if I gave her space. She said yes, and I backed off. She grunted, sweeping off any invisible dust off her clothes. She stared at me, said that I am not a officer. I told her that I am not one, just a clanmate. Curiously, she looked at me, and asked me how did I overwhelmed her. I chuckled gently, told her everything, the clan, the clanmates, and I being leader, and the duties, and the ability to travel to worlds of their choosing. She looked a bit curious yet cautious. I gave her a deal, of a tour of HQ, and some training of being a warrior, then she would go to her world she wanted to be in. She accepted firmly and off we went , to HQ.

(Airi's P.O.V)

I had managed to fall asleep in the snowdrift I found, having a rather pleasant dream about food and warmth, when everything started shaking! I jerked awake to find blue cloth filling my weak vision; I shouted and attacked on instinct, trying to get the assumed officer out of my way so I could make a run for it. I was quickly pinned, however, by moves I'd never seen before. My bangs were no longer covering my eyes, and I stared at the person who was holding me down. The person in question, I believe a women, gasped. Most everyone reacts that way to my eyes, but I don't need pity, I need food.

"Get off of me! I can't breath!" I shouted at her, squirming and wriggling beneath her strong hold.

"I will if you stop fighting. I'll give you some space." she replied.

"Okay," I replied, ceasing my struggling. The weight was quickly gone, and stood with a grunt, stiffness seeping back into my bones and joints from the cold. I wiped off my clothes for any dust. I looked up, finally able to make out this strange person a little better, and was surprised to see that it wasn't an officer.

"You're not a cop." I say without thinking, then shut my jaw with a audible /click/ sound. She might suspect me now.

"No, I'm not. I'm a clanmate." she replied.

I tilted my head curiously. "How did you take me down? I'm pretty tough to beat." she told me about the clan, the Sierra Travelers, the clanmates, and herself being leader, and the duties, and the ability to travel to worlds of their choosing. It only piqued my curiosity, but also my caution. I had a few issues with trusting people, you can guess. I was given a deal, of a tour of HQ, and some training to be a warrior, then I would get to choose and live in a world of my own choosing.

"I accept." I replied strongly, hoping against hope that a small dream of mine might be actualized. I followed her into the building my snowdrift-house had been next to, rubbing my hands together to warm them as I made up a tune under my breath.

(Sunrise's P.O.V.)

I looked at the girl, heard her quiet tune, and I smiled a half-smile as I asked about the tune she's humming. She replied that it's a tune she made up to sing for tourists, and I tilted my head, pursuing my lips curiously. I told her that I liked it, and I introduced myself as I pushed the button for the elevator to bring us down to HQ.

She tensed slightly as she came into the elevator, saying she loves to sing sometimes and introduced herself. Airi, huh? It's very unique. We came down, the doors opening up to reveal the bustling of my beloved clanmates. Talking and laughing as they said hi, etc towards me,and a few curiously looked at Airi. I gave the staring few a look and told them of the snowdrift. They bowed their head in respect, and went to the elevator behind us. Airi looked a bit awed as she looked around at the colors of everyone, and I chuckled, grabbing her attention. I gently put a hand on her shoulder, telling that it can be quite noisy at times, but also peaceful.

Then Airi piped out suddenly, as she pointed to the portal, saying if it is the portal. I nodded softly, moving her toward the portal, letting her feel and see the portal as I backed a bit to give her some space. Then her stomach loudly growled, earning Airi an sheepish look as she saw me. I laughed softly, telling her to follow me, she caught up nicely. I have a feeling that she will be a superb warrior once her training finishes. We got to the cafeteria, the smells apparently getting to Airi, her mouth open, her nose flaring. I told her that she can have a meal at my table. So she followed me, grabbing our plates, and getting various stuff. We sat down, Airi quickly eating. I stopped her, saying to slow down otherwise she would be sick later on. She nodded, slowing down some, and eating.

After some time of eating, we polished our plates, and got up, heading to the training/weapons room. Airi came in, her scents full as she stared at various weapons and the robot dummies. I told her to sit down and watch/listen to me as I moved to fight one of the dummies. She nodded, sitting down. I shredded my upper clothes down to my shirt, and commanded the robot to turn on, and then I began.
