The Forgotten Dragonet
What's that noise?
What's going on!
Suddenly, darkness subsided to light as the dragonets warm prison was chipped away.
Two faces hovered over it, watching with kind and curious eyes. One of them gently nudged the side of the egg, making it chip and crack even more.
The small, newly hatched dragonet stepped out into the light onto a white wool nest. It felt nice and soft on its talons as it stumbled out of the egg. It let out a squeak of despair as it was lifted up out of the nest and set down into a softer, and much bigger one. The dragonet was surround by other new hatchlings.
"Where did you find it?" A voice whispered.
"I thought that the Skywing egg they found was destroyed!"
Another voice answered. "I did, too, but I was still in their camp when I found this one, it was much bigger than the one he had picked up, and it was hidden in the corner of the hatchery!" The second voice finished. It was a male Seawing, but he didn't sound or look any more younger than the first voice.
"Do you know which hatchery it was?" The first voice asked. It was an old raspy voice of a female Skywing.
"No idea, but if it came from Queen Scarlets, that would explain how furious she looked when I escaped." He chuckled slightly, but the look on the Skywings face told him that she was not amused.
"You idiot!" She hissed, struggling to keep her voice low.
"If it was from Queen Scarlets, let alone any Skywing involved with her, she'll send half of her subjects out to look all over Pyrrhia for it!" She lashed her tail in rage.
"Well, what did you expect me to do, Kestrel? It was the last egg that fit the prophecy, I couldn't just leave without it!" The Seawing shot back.
The Skywing paused for a moment before towering over the Webbed-footed dragon.
"Then I'll take it somewhere safe to raise it myself. Queen Scarlet could be on her way right now to take back her hatchling.:
The Seawing blinked at Kestrel in shock, then slowly glanced back toward the nest filled with the other four dragonets.
"But then there'll only be four, what will we do without a-"
Before he could finish, Kestrel interrupted him.
"Then tell Dune to take an egg from the Rainwings. They're lazy and useless enough to not even notice one of them is gone." She said.
She walked over the nest of dragonets, picked up the newly hatched Skywing, and took off.
