Prologue
"Do I have to?"
"Yes."
"But what if it's, like, some really weird dragon, like one with no neck, or-"
"Auklet, write."
Wincing at Professor Azure's harsh tone, Auklet scrunched her face up defiantly, hoping she looked intimidating enough for Professor Azure to back down. Azure, however, kept his place, the old dragon staring at her from behind his glasses sitting low on his snout. "But Azure-" Auklet's pleads, however, were quickly silenced, as the old SeaWing gave her a look that she had come to know very well from her years of learning with him. He had many looks, but this one clearly stated, do as I say, or I'll tell your mother.
Releasing a loud groan, Auklet slumped forward, allowing her tiara to tumble off her head and hit the floor with a loud clatter. Several of the other dragons in the library turned around to give Auklet a dirty look for making noise, but Auklet barely noticed, or even cared. "Can't I just do it later?" She pleaded, but it was clear that Azure wasn't going to retaliate. Having being sent here as a "personal escort" with Auklet by Queen Coral, the young princess could see why he would want to do his job right, but come on.
Scowling, Azure put on his annoyingly wise face. "You know what I say; procrastination makes easy things hard-"
"And hard things harder, yeah, yeah, I know," Auklet muttered, finishing up one of the many, many, many quotes that Professor Azure enjoyed giving her on a daily basis. "I'll do it, just gimme the quill," she huffed, leaning forward and snatching the feather from the jar of ink. Leaning over the table, Auklet pressed the quill to the paper and began to write.
Dear random dragon,
"No, no, you can't start like that," Azure scolded, balling up the piece of paper and putting a fresh one right in front of her. "You have to be polite." Shooting Azure a dirty look, Auklet huffed and started again.
Dear my dearest comrade who I VERY much want to write to and am NOT being forced to,
Azure merely gave her a look. "Fine, fine, I'll take it seriously," Auklet muttered, caving in and starting again.
To my new pen pal,
Hey there; I guess you don't know me yet, and I don't know you, but that's cool because you're gonna learn a bit about me. Not enough to stalk me, but just enough on the slight chance where if we passed each other on the streets, you might go, "hey, you're auklet, my pen pal, right?" Anyways, I guess that bit covered the first section; my name is Auklet, and if you've heard that name before, I wouldn't be surprised, because my official title is Princess Auklet of the SeaWings, but I guess that's a bit straightforward.
I'm sorry I can't say anything about you, but unfortunately, I really don't know anything about you, but if you write me back that'll probably change, or at least I hope so. But until you do, I guess I'll have to talk a bit about me.
Well, for starters, my name is Auklet, and I'm a princess of the SeaWings, wait, crap, I already said that, but you get the idea. Since we'll probably never see each other, I guess it would be easier for me to say what I look like. I'm a green SeaWing, with green eyes, and I have all these really cool whirling patterns on my wings. It turns out that they only run in my family, which makes it a heck of a lot cooler.
The reason I'm doing this is because I go to this one school on Jade Mountain called Jade Mountain Academy (I know really original name), and apparently for this one project all the students are writing a letter to a pen pal and each letter is going to be mailed to a random spot anywhere in Pyrhhia. I mean, you could be another SeaWing, or an IceWing, or a NightWing. Ooh, it would be really cool if you were a NightWing because you would be able to read minds and stuff, like this one teacher at my school, Moonwatcher!
Of course, I wouldn't be upset if you weren't a NightWing, I'm just putting that up there. To be honest, Jade Mountain Academy has dragons from every tribe, so I'm cool with whatever you are, even if it's a RainWing! (No hate against RainWings, if you are one!) You can write back soon or whenever you want, because I'm not such a hermit that I don't have other stuff to do, but I would like it if you wrote back in a week or so because that's when I have to at least give a report on how it's going.
Sincerely,
Princess Auklet of the SeaWings
Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this prologue of "Love, Orken" because I had a lot of fun writing it. TBH, I have no idea where I'm going with this, and this is more of a test run to see if this idea goes well. Normally, I can tell if it goes well by the number of reviews it gets because since this website doesn't count views on the main page, popularity is measured in reviews, so I would appreciate it if you left a review after reading this; thank you!
