Aster:

"Aster, wake up," said a familiar voice. A few moments passed before the familiar voice said again, "Aster, Quickclaws made roasted boar for us." Another minute passesd. "ASTER, THE RAIN-FOREST'S ON FIRE." Aster woke up with a start. She sat up, and looked around her, realizing the Rain-Forest wasn't on fire, and laying back down again. She heard her best friend, Jasmine, sigh and walk over to Quickclaws, her other best friend. Aster could hear Jasmine say the words 'slower then a Sea-slug,' and she couldn't help but roll her eyes. It's not like she has ever gone to the sea before, Aster thought. Wait, what am I thinking? I've never been to the sea either! And i'm Half Sea-wing!

Aster rolled over and stood up on the mossy bed she made for herself, and started to walk towards where Quickclaws and Jasmine were sitting. It was morning, and the flowers around Aster were finally starting to bloom, though a few had taken a head start and were already soaking in the sunlight. Jasmine (A Rain-wing) was eating a Mango, while Quickclaws (a Night-wing) was roasting a small boar he had found squirming around the forest. Aster sat down on the ground next to Jasmine and across from Quickclaws, and spread her wings to catch the light, showing of her glowing scales. It wasn't as if Aster wasn't pretty, she just looked a little unusual. Being a Night-wing, Sea-wing hybrid, her scales were mostly black. But if you looked close enough, you could definitely see a hint of blue or Sea-green here and there. Aster looked like a Night-wing, a Night-wing with glow in the dark scales around her snout and along her spine, spreading across the edges of her wings and tail.

Jasmine stumbled back, tripping over her tail and dropping her Mango. "Close those big-wings of yours will you!? You Made me drop my mango!" Aster folded her wings back together and did a fake bow. "Well i'm sorry your majesty if I disturbed you, please do excuse me," Aster said, with a hint of playfulness in her voice. "You are NOT excused," Jasmine said trying to keep her face straight, yet evidently failing. Quickclaws rolled his eyes at Jasmine and Aster and split the roasted boar he got in half. "Here Aster." Quickclaws said, giving Aster half his boar. Aster smiled and took the half boar, finishing it in a few bites.

Quickclaws froze and twitched his ears. His tail swished back and forth, a habit he had whenever he was nervous. "Don't over-react, but I think we're being watched." Aster and Jasmine froze. They both turned to face Quickclaws, and they both realized immediately that he wasn't kidding. Quickclaws glanced around the clearing they were in, It looked like any other part of the Rain-forest, except there was a secret door hidden by vines in one of the trees that Aster, Quickclaws, and Jasmine made when they first came to this clearing.

Quickclaws continued to say, "Keep your voice low and act natural, we aren't in immediate danger. Just in case though, we'll need to leave here as soon as possible." Aster and Jasmine groaned. They HATED having to constantly move from place to place, yet they knew it was for their own safety. Aster would never be safe because she was a Hybrid, Jasmine would never be allowed back to the Rain-wing village because she was accused of a crime she didn't commit, and Quickclaws...Aster shuddered just thinking about it. He got it worst of all, he was an animus dragon, a dragon capable of amazing things, and great destruction. It was a sensitive subject towards Quickclaws, and he almost never mentioned it. No one could guess there was anything wrong with him on first sight. Aster looked at Quickclaws, and found out hat his expression was pale and he stopped swishing his tail. He pointed one trembling claw behind Aster. Aster looked confused for a moment, and looked over her shoulder, but it was too late. She was staring at the leader of three Sky-wings.
