~I do not own Wings of Fire (obviously)~
Chapter 1
"Oh, I hope she doesn't see me" Starflight thought nervously. He had secretly been watching Sunny, even though she has told him many times not to. He was just trying to make sure she was ok, but he also knew that he also just wanted to watch her because he still loved her. Even though he was now with Fatespeaker, there was just a part of him that still loved Sunny.
But then at that moment, while Starflight was thinking to himself, Sunny quickly turned around and shouted "AH HA!" Starflight jumped back and tripped on his tail in the sudden surprise, easily giving away any trace of him being hidden. " How many times do I have to remind you Starflight" Sunny sighed, " That you need to stop following me around!?" She went over to help him up, but she had a stern look on her face. " I don't need anyone to protect me, and I thought that you would have given up on that crush on me by now" Starflight winced, not liking it when Sunny was mad at him.
" Look, you're with Fatespeaker now, so you just need to spend more time with her, and eventually you'll forget about me, ok" Starflight looked up at her. " Ok, but if you need me, I'll be in the library. Oh, and if you see Fatespeaker, just tell her to meet up with me there." Starflight left with a sad expression on his face. As he walked away, Sunny just thought to herself, thinking " Oh Starflight, what am I ever going to do with you?"
Starflight decided that before he went to the library, we would go to the rainforest. It wasn't that far, only about a 10 minute flight, and he needed to talk to Clay, who was there helping Glory with a problem in the Rainwing village. He knew if anyone could cheer him up, it was Clay, who was always trying to make sure the others were happy. As soon as Starflight got to the village, he noticed something strange. There were a couple of lines of tents next to the village. Starflight went to investigate, worried that something might be wrong. As soon as he landed though, he was suddenly being called at by many different types of dragons, trying to sell him different things. He now knew what was going on, and who these dragons were.
"Merchants" Starflight thought. He decided a quick look wasn't going to hurt. There were dragons trying to sell him food and trinkets, but one tent looked strange to Starflight, so he went over, curious as ever. The tent was dark purple with smoke coming out. There were what looked like...potions? The tent was filled with an assortment of many different colored bottles, each labeled something different. He started to look closer when suddenly a cloaked figure was up in his face. "Unless you plan on buying something, I wouldn't get any closer if I were you" said the cloaked figure, who had a creepily deep voice. Starflight jumped back, easily noticing the Sandwing tail barb poking out of the cloak. " I was just curious what these were, that's all." The Sandwing grinned, before saying, " I can tell by you're voice just what type of potion you need."
Suddenly, the figure whipped around, grabbed a pinkish potion, and turned back to Starflight. " You are hoping that someone will love you just like you love them, and I know, because you aren't the first dragon I've met that needed the same thing. Starflight was shocked, the fact that a dragon knew so much just from a sentence that had nothing to do with that topic. " And... and what is that?" Starflight stuttered, being surprised, and slightly scared, of what just happened. " This is a love potion, a special kind, that once had, will get the dragon you love to love you back." Starflight stared at the pink liquid, thinking of what this could mean for him.
"What is it worth, and is there a catch?" Starflight knew that something like this couldn't be free, and he didn't have anything to pay with at the moment. " For a special case like you, it is free. The only catch is that you have to be at least 100 feet from the loved one, or it will not work." Starflight stared at the dragon, not wanting to belive that something like this was happening to him. He had always been one of the unluckiest dragons in the world, and he hpoed that this meant that his luck was finally changing. " I'll take it!" Starflight was then handed the potion by the cloaked dragon. " Thank you, and I sincerely mean it." "There be no need for thanks, especially for a case like you." The dragon grinned as Starflight flew off, back to the mountain. " Especially for a case like you."
Starflight spent no time to get back to the mountain, and as soon as he got in, he went to the board to make sure Sunny was here. They designed a system with a board showing who was at the mountain at the moment and who wasn't so that if they needed to find each other, they would first see if they were there. Luckily for him, Sunny was still there. It turned out Fatespeaker was also there, but Starflight didn't notice as he quickly signed in, to excited for what was soon going to happen. He then went to the library, where he told Sunny he would be, and made sure no one else was there. He went over to the counter and quickly got out the potion. He stared at it, knowing that after he drank it, his life was sure to get better. He then uncorked it and gulped it down. It had a strange taste to it, almost like... milk? He finished drinking the potion and quickly hid the bottle. Even if it did work, he didn't want Sunny to find it. He then felt a queasy and dizzy. "Something is wrong" Starflight thought. The room started spinning, and before he knew it, he blacked out.
