A Century Later

by Chaos Supernova

A century later, Jade Mountain Academy is still running. But still running doesn't mean it's running smoothly. Students are fighting, crush drama, dragonets are DYING! Will the remaining students band together, put their feeling aside, and catch the killer? Or will they end up dead on the floor in a pool of blood? Rated T for death! Yay!

1. Sunset and Sunrise

A Century Later

Chapter One

Hi! So, I'm Nova'sGirl, and I'm relatively new to the WOF fandom. I've always been a fan of the books, but this is the first time I've actually really written a fanfiction for it. Well...I deleted one, but that doesn't count... Anyways, this is a SYOC (Send Your Original Character) story, which means you send in an OC form, and I use your OC as a character in the story. Since this is the first chapter, and I obviously don't have any reader OCs yet, I'll use mine, which are going to be characters anyway. So, to set the scene, this story takes place a while after the dragonets and prophecy and whatnot. Basically, Moonwatcher's vision of Jade Mountain Academy's future. I'll give you a quick overview of the winglets: (And yes, the names have changed over the years)

I hope I didn't bore you with this inanely long author's note, and please keep reading!

Sunset groaned as he heard his adoptive sister, Gecko, screaming in his ear.

"SUNSET! SUNSET! WAKE UP!"

Sunset didn't want to wake up. He wanted to stay snuggled deep into his hammock forever. Sadly, with Gecko, that was never the case.

"Sunset? ARE YOU ALIVE?" Gecko then began to violently shake him.

Sunset groaned even louder. "Yes, YES, I'm awake. But there is such a thing as when someone wants to sleep in, you know."

Gecko fidgeted. "Yeah, I know, but...Mom wants to tell you something...she asked me to wake you up..."

Mom was Tree Frog, Sunset's adoptive mother. Sunset had been abandoned as a dragonet, and...no. Sunset shook his head. He didn't want to dwell on those memories.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming." He attempted to get out of the hammock, but instead fell on the floor. "Ouch."

Gecko giggled. She then took Sunset's talons and dragged him out of his room, dragging across him room out the opening of the room. "Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!"

"Oh, shut up."

Sunset sighed.

"MOM! I've got him!" Gecko announced cheerfully, oblivious of Sunset's grunts of pain.

"Gecko, what have I told you about using force on your brother?" Tree Frog said with a smile. She held out a talon to help Sunset up. He accepted.

"Thanks, Tree Frog. What did you want to tell me?"

Sunset sensed waves of nervousness coming from Tree Frog. Whatever she wanted to tell him, it couldn't be good. "Well...you've heard of Jade Mountain Academy, right?"

"Yeah...what about it?"

"It's the start of a new term there. And I think it would be a good idea to send you and Gecko there."

Sunset contemplated the idea. It wouldn't be so bad, right? He'd have his adoptive sister (he refused to call her his real sister) with him, and he'd get to meet new people. Besides, if he freaked out, his mom might burst an artery from nervousness.

"Yeah, I agree. When do we start?"

Tree Frog let out a deep breath. "Today. This afternoon. You guys can fly yourselves. It's not a long flight." Jade Mountain Academy was right next to the Rain Kingdom. Slash Night Kingdom. Even a hundred years after the contract, things still weren't worked out.

"Okay. What about Sunrise?"

Sunrise was Sunset's favorite person in the world. She was his twin. When they were abandoned in the rainforest, they were together. That was most likely how they survived that long year.

"She's still out chatting with Bengal. I'll send Gecko to get her," Tree Frog said.

Bengal was one of Sunrise's best friends. He was a Rainwing, and Sunset suspected he had a crush on Sunrise. Yet Sunrise didn't seem to care. Or notice. For someone as observant as she was, she could be kind of oblivious with other dragons.

"Bengal? Uh, can I go too?"

Tree Frog raised an eyebrow, but agreed.

A minute later, Sunset and Gecko headed to one of the Sun Pavilions, where the Rainwings had their sun time. Sunset touched down on the soft leaves, reminiscing of the times when he had taken a good scroll up here to read, ignoring the looks from other Rainwings. He could spot Bengal and Sunrise on the far side of the Sun Pavilion. Bengal told something to her, and she giggled.

Gecko and Sunset looked at each other, and Sunset knew they were thinking the same thing.

"Let's break it up," Gecko whispered to him, grinning. Sunset grinned back.

Together, they creeped towards Bengal and Sunrise, and just when Bengal leaned in, Gecko screamed, "GET AWAY FROM HER, YOU PERV!"

Sunset burst out laughing. Sunrise and Bengal stared at Gecko, gaping, Sunrise just surprised, and Bengal looking like he was about to murder her. Gecko and Sunset just stood there with wolfish grins on their faces.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?" Bengal yelled. Sunset felt waves of fury and embarrassment radiating off of him. For a moment, Sunset felt a little bad about what he did, but then he remembered this was his sister Bengal was chasing after. So he felt better.

Sunset cast a sideways glance at Sunrise, who glanced back. As soon as he met her eyes, he knew that she thought the entire thing was hilarious too.

"I've gotta say, that was pretty funny. So why did you guys come out here?" She asked.

"Well, Mom sent me, Sunset, and you to Jade Mountain Academy for the term! We'll get to be there together!"

Sunrise gave a weak smile, clearly not excited. Sunset concentrated and probed further into her mind. 'WHAT?! I can't go there! Not now! What about my friends?Will the other dragons like us, even though we're Nightwings? There still is some tension...'

"Relax. There might even be Nightwing teachers," Sunset said to Sunrise.

Sunrise looked at him quizzically, but then remembered Sunset's powers of emotion sensing and mind reading. Since they were twins, for some reason, the powers from the two full moons were split between them, and they even had a smaller power. Sunset could sense emotions and read minds to an extent, and Sunrise could see the future, and sense what choices would end badly and which ones wouldn't. Sunset considered that a more useful power than sensing emotions.

Gecko squealed in delight. "It's so COOL how you can do that! You know, I'm going to have to make you read Bengal's mind someday."

Sunset was pretty sure he didn't want to do that. But he wouldn't tell Gecko that.

Gecko craned her neck to look up at the sun. "Three moons! It's noon! Anything you want to do before we leave this place for a while?"

Sunrise tapped her talon against her chin. "I dunno. Smooth things out with Bengal-" She glared pointedly at the two of them. Sunset could feel she wasn't THAT angry though. "-eat lots of fruit, and say goodbye to Moonorchid."

"Shouldn't that be Princess Moonorchid?" Gecko questioned.

Sunrise shrugged. "I'm pretty good friends with her. She told me I could just call her Moonorchid."

Sunrise had applied as a body guard for the princess about a year ago, but she was turned down because she was too young. But the princess had asked her why she wanted to even though she was so young, and Sunrise had replied, "For the danger! Adventure! Just like my favorite scroll, Treasure of the Rainforest!" Apparently, the princess had read that scroll too, and loved it, and, according to Sunrise, became best friends. Sunset has probed her mind to find out what had actually happened, and that was pretty much what happened. Surprisingly.

"Hmm, okay, well, anything you want to do, Sunset?" Gecko turned to him.

He shrugged. "I dunno. Maybe say goodbye to Boa?" Boa was Sunset's best friend, and was a Rainwing.

"Okay, well, you guys can go do that. I'm just gonna have my sun time. I don't know if we'll get it on Jade Mountain..." She promptly dropped to the ground.

Sunset locked eyes with his sister. "Okay...yeah. Well, bye!" She said, and flew away.

He smiled affectionately. Sisters.

Sunset looked up at the sky. About a few more hours until Jade Mountain.

He found Boa's tree hut. Surely enough, Boa was still snoring away in a hammock. Sunset face palmed. He walked over to Boa and poked him. Boa snorted and sat up. "Huh- wha? Oh. Sunset. Hey, buddy."

"Um, hi...I just came over here to tell you that I'm gonna be going to Jade Mountain Academy, and, well, I'm not gonna be back for a while...so...bye?" Sunset was not very good with goodbyes.

"Cool...I have to say, I'm gonna miss you...and your crazy stories of your family...dude, you are a funny guy. Life's gonna be kinda boring without you, y'know."

"Well, I have one more story to tell you. So, today, you know Bengal? Well, so, me and Gecko..."

The time really flew by as Boa and Sunset chatted and laughed together. Sunset didn't even realize how much time had gone by until Gecko came into Boa's tree hut. "Yo! Sunset! We've gotta go! Sunrise is waiting!"

"What? OH! Sorry, Boa! Gotta go! Bye!"

Boa smiled sadly as Sunset dashed out the leafy curtain. "Bye, Sun!"

Sunset nearly bumped into the princess(?!), who for some reason was standing with Sunrise. "Hey, Sunset!" Sunrise said cheerfully. "Guess what? Moonorchid's coming too, and I'm actually gonna be her bodyguard this time!"

More girls. "Great..."

"Oh, don't be like that! This is the PRINCESS! Yay!"

Moonorchid laughed. "Sun, you don't really have to announce I'm princess. Though I am."

Sunset looked Moonorchid up and down. She was quite pretty, with midnight black scales and silver swirls across her body, but not really Sunset's type. "So, you must be Sunset? Not bad..."

Sunset cocked his head, and probed a bit into her mind. 'Kinda cute, actually...'

Sunset felt his face heat up. "Oh, uh- hi?" He squeaked.

Gecko hissed into his ear, "She likes you! She totally likes you!"

"Shut up," he hissed back. "So, uh, Moonorchid, you're going to Jade Mountain too?"

"Yep. You guys are gonna be stuck with me," She grinned playfully.

Was she flirting with him? Or not? WHY ARE GIRLS SO COMPLICATED? Sunset's mind was going a million miles and hour trying to figure out what she meant by that. Eventually, he knew it was pointless, and gave up. "W-well, it can't be THAT bad, right? I mean, Sunrise seems to like you, so I get the impression you're pretty cool,"

Moonorchid blushed, and Gecko gave him a thumbs up. Sunrise and Sunset both rolled their eyes at her.

In an effort to break the awkwardness, Sunset said, "Wow! Look at the time! We've better be going!" He then shot up into the air, towards Jade Mountain. The others followed.

This was sure to be one heck of an adventure.

So, there's your introduction to A Century Later! I hope you guys like Sunset, Sunrise, and Moonorchid, because you're going to be seeing more of them! Of course, you're going to be seeing more of YOUR characters, if you submit one. I just have a few rules for your OCs:

There are hybrids allowed, but only hybrids of two species. Just make sure they aren't too overpowered.

First come first serve. No exceptions, unless there is a very interesting character I want to use.

I'd prefer if your dragon has a romantic interest, but if you really don't want one, that's okay.

One OC per person, please.

No Mary-Sues (Perfect characters) If I deem your OC to be a Mary Sue, then I won't use them.

Please use the OC form below.

Wow! I know that's a lot of rules, and I'm sorry for that...I don't particularly like rules. Please submit a character, be it student or teacher! PLEASE! It will make my day!
