Hello! This is my very first Silverwing fiction so please be nice…LOL! Anyway, I just finished reading the trilogy…then found out there will be a prequel; Darkwing. Anyway, here's my story, and please review!
Marina Brightwing flew with her son, Griffin, and tears slowly fell down as she remembered her lost mate, Shade. He was a hero…no, a legend. He was the only friend she truly had, the one who wouldn't leave her alone when the Greywings said her band was cursed.
She remembered how mad she was at Shade when she thought he had betrayed her. But he didn't. And after realizing the actual plan, she felt so sorry and knew she could ever replace those death glares.
"Marina…hey…" Chinook said, flying beside her. It was only two days finding out about Shade's death. How was she supposed to ever get over it? Thank God she still had friends.
"Hello," Marina said dully. She was still lost in thoughts. Then the words snapped her out of it, as Griffin tugged softly at her wing. All three roosted on a nearby branch.
"Mom, can I go eat?" Griffin asked, softly. Marina nodded. She turned to Chinook, who was obviously without his mate for the moment.
"Why are you here?" she asked, turning away.
"Hey, I know why you're depressed. Shade was my best friend too," Chinook said. Marina turned.
"No one can ever replace Shade," she said, another tear rolling down. "I just wish lives couldn't be torn apart!" She exclaimed, bursting into tears. Chinook turned away, with his eyes tearing up, too.
"Everyone wants Shade back, Marina. But right now, we also have Goth to worry about…" Chinook said, trailing off as he saw her starting to sob.
"Sorry," he said, whispering. Marina sniffled.
"No, it's okay. I just…I just still remember they look on his face when I asked him to be my mate. He was so happy. Shade…Shade was everything to me," Marina said.
Griffin had come back, with Chinook leaving.
"Mom, why do you have to cry so much? It's going to make me cry, and Ariel. Then Luna will cry, and her mother and it'll spread to the whole colony that we'll be known for depression!" Griffin exclaimed, becoming worried. Marina stiffened a chuckle.
"You remind me so much of your father," she whispered. Marina's heart broke whenever she spoke about him. It hurt so much just saying his name.
Luna fluttered towards both of them, with excitement in her eyes. Griffin frowned in confusion.
"Marina!" Luna exclaimed.
"Yes?" She said, wiping out a tear.
"Outside…not far away….Marina…Griffin…Shade's alive!"
That's the end of chapter one. Reviews please and tell me if I should update soon! Thanks for reading!
