Wings of Fire: The Path of Lightning
Fanfiction by Artoriasninja
(Before I continue, you MUST read the book, before reading my work. This will go straight into the story. You have been warned. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters.) I was no hero. I don't know why I'm even here. I'm not in the prophecy. Yet Kestrel keeps me. I know however, if it was up to her, I'd be thrown out as soon as possible. If it were up to her, I think all of us would be outside right now, alone. The prophecy tells of no mythical LightningWing. It doesn't say anything about why I am here. Yet they keep me here. I was torn out of my deep thought when Kestrel shot fire at me. I countered by shooting lightning at it. It disintegrated, blowing up in red lightning. I charged at Kestrel, who was shocked by the electricity. I sliced her underbelly with my claw, which I imbued with electricity at the last second. Lightning surrounded her, shocking her at a non threatening level. Kestrel groaned, then fell. She was incapacitated. Webs flew and landed next to me and said, "Kestel has no chance if you do that." "Who cares, this is combat training. If this was a real fight, then I would win. Besides, Kestrel needs to chill out." Webs looked at me and flew away, to the guardian cave. Clay walked up and said, "When we get out, no one will be able to stop us, as long you are on our side." I responded, "I'm not part of the prophecy. I can't interfere." "Nonsense. You're just as important as any one of us. You're like a brother." Clay said. Clay was a good person. "Thank you. You're a good friend." I said. Deep down, I felt like I didn't fit in. I was possibly the only LightningWing int he world. It is said my egg was gifted from the heavens. My egg fell from the sky, and it looked like a Skywing egg. Webs, Dune, and Kestrel thought the Nightwings had dropped it. When I hatched, I had the characteristics of many different dragon types. On top of that, I was protected by many strands of lightning moving around me like thread. Kestrel had tried to kill me, Webs had told me. She breathed fire at me and the lightning reached out and made the fire explode in a electric red ball. It disappeared after a couple seconds. Then they thought it was supposed to happen. They took me in, and now I'm here. The only other people I had ever known and talked to in real life, was Clay, Tsunami, Sunny, Starflight, and Glory. Clay was a MudWing, Tsunami was a SeaWing, Sunny was a SandWing, who grew up a not completely normal SandWing, Starflight was a NightWing without NightWing powers like see the future, and reading minds. Last but totally not least was Glory. She was a replacement for the SkyWing egg Hvitur was delivering that broke. Hvitur was also killed, by Burn. She made me angry. I know she is the strongest out of the three, but I wanted to kill her, for starting this war, for forcing my friends to do what they had to do. "Hey Maelstrom, what are you doing? It's dinner time." Sunny said. "I'm coming." I followed Sunny to the main cave room and got my dinner. Kestrel was up again. She looked even more mad than usual. She dropped a dead cow in front of me and said, "Eat, otherwise I'll shove that cow in your mouth! I'm sick of how ungrateful you are, all of you." I was getting mad, so I made my lightning arc around me. Kestrel look even more mad. "You aren't even part of the prophecy! Why are you here? Leave!" "I would love to, but you won't let me!" Webs suddenly flew in and whispered something to Kestrel. Her expression changed to her normal grumpy self. She snorted, then followed Webs into the guardian cave. "Sounds like something important is happening. We should go check it out." Clay said. "Yeah, let's go check it out!" Tsunami said. "Alright, let's do this." Me, Tsunami, and Clay jumped into the river and swam against the current to get to the guardian cave. As we passed the the hole that leads into the cave, Clay looked a little stuck. I pushed him through. We were in the cave now. The guardians, unlike their previous meetings, were whispering. We could still hear them though. "So that's it? After all these years, Morrowseer is finally coming?" Kestrel said. Morrowseer. The creator of the prophecy! They continued on chatting but I wasn't listening. Morrowseer could be my explanation as to WHY I was kept here, if I wasn't even part of the prophecy. My life could be a lot different.
Author's note: Hello readers! This is my first time writing fanfic, so Im trying to get better so feel free to leave suggestions and ideas.
