OoOoOoOoOo
A prism dragon hatching crept cautiously out from behind a waterfall. Her beautiful emerald gaze showed far too much anxiety for a hatchling. Did her parents notice her slipping out of the lair? She really wanted to be alone, as far from their glaring eyes as possible.
She'd gotten in trouble a little while ago, for something seemingly small. She had pulled a feather nearly all the way out in her sleep, and it was broken. Her mother became angry when she went to remove it. Jiara had asked her how long she'd been grooming herself. When she tried to respond, her mother interrupted and told her to take a nap in her room.
But this loose feather irritated her wing horribly. She couldn't make herself sleep. The two adult dragons must not have seen her, she realized, so she did what very few hatchlings her age did. She skillfully climbed down to the ground below and hurried into a forest.
She went to a little stream where the occasional fairy could be spotted. Finally she could remove the broken feather. She sighed, wondering just what was wrong with her. She could hardly clean herself without being watched and told she was spending too much time on it. She had to make sure she didn't ask too many questions, or she'd be told she was trying to be more intelligent than everyone else. She didn't even dare say anything about wanting some solitude. Ectri did what she always did when upset: she sang.
I dreamed of a place
Where the moon always shone
I wanted to tell you
But I decided not to
My voice is meaningless to you, anyway
Her beautiful voice filled the air and seemed to echo throughout the forest.
OoOoOoOoOo
The battle calls of cats filled the air and seemed to echo throughout the forest.
Songstar felt one of her gifts flowing through her body, making her feel as if she had the strength of two powerful cats. Bladetooth must be with her. Determination was clear in her amber eyes as she fought. Vinepaw must be here too, she realized. Her close friend, Mossfur, appeared by her side.
She grasped a paw in her mouth and rolled on the ground until she heard bones breaking. She let go of the enemy cat's paw and they ran as quickly as they could away from her land. Mossfur gave her opponent a parting scratch as they fled.
Fallfur was helping her apprentice get away from the fight. Flickerpaw had a broken foot as well. Nightpaw tackled a cat twice her size. Pantherclaw came along to assist her kit, though it didn't seem like Nightpaw needed any help. Hawkstrike was facing two enemies alone, and winning.
Graveltail and her apprentice were up against a team of four. Chainlink came to their aid. The three-legged warrior, Blizzardhowl's pelt was soaked with blood that wasn't hers. Oh, these cats were learning what attacking RogueClan would get them.
How dare they! And so close to camp! How did they manage to get so close without us noticing?
"Who's in camp?" she asked Fallfur when the calico returned.
"Fogtail, Boneclaw, Twilightgaze, Coalpaw, and Leafwhisker are there to make sure no one but us gets inside."
Songstar faced off against a large, muscular black and white cat. Her small size gave her an advantage. The enemy cat underestimated her and didn't know what hit him. Bellchime and Stormpaw were shredding a tabby feline when the enemy leader called for retreat.
"Stay off of our territory!" Hawkstrike screamed.
The leader, a brown-furred cat told Songstar, "We will return! You horrid creatures brought darkness to the land! We are the Tribe of Raging Fire, and we will defeat you, even if it means burning the forest to the ground!"
OoOoOoOoOo
"You will not leave this lair for a week!"
Those were the words Xiu had spoken to her before retiring to the other nestroom. Her escape may have been stealthy enough, but they'd noticed her absence before she returned. Most of the words her parents had said to her had fallen on deaf ears. There was no doubt in her mind: they hated her. Why? What was wrong with her?
I dreamed of a place
Where the moon always shone
I would've told you, but my voice has no meaning
Sometimes I wish I could just….
Go….
Hey…. Why not go? Why stay any longer? Ectri carefully snuck out of the lair and hurried towards the Sky Tower. She ran as fast as her short dragoness legs would carry her towards the levitating palace. She asked some air fairies to help her get up to the structure and fortunately, they did.
She cautiously moved through the dark hallways, looking for Niz's room. The gold dragoness was probably Ectri's only real friend. She at last found the sleeping hatchling and whispered in her ear.
"Hm….? Ectri? How did you get up here?"
"Fairies," she replied simply. "Niz, I want to leave this realm."
"What?" Niz sat up, fully awake now. "Why do you want to do that?"
"Jiara and Xiu hate me! I don't know why. I just want to leave….."
Niz looked into her friend's eyes. They were depressed, and confused. She only knew of one other realm, and it was a dangerous place. She told Ectri this and asked if her friend was sure.
"I'm positive!" Ectri replied.
"Well, ok. Bye."
Black wispy clouds formed around the prism dragoness hatchling. She saw that this was taking a large amount of focus for her friend, but whispered, "thank you," as the clouds encased her.
She began to fall, feeling her body take on a new form. Her wings disappeared and her scales changed to fur. Her talons felt thin and sharp. This only made her interested. What was she turning into? That didn't matter right now. What mattered was that she was free.
Even if she were hated in this new realm, she wouldn't be captive in the lair where she hatched. Maybe she would even find out what was wrong with her, and be able to change it.
She was no longer a prism dragoness hatchling.
She was a rogue, searching for a place to belong.
I didn't wanna wait to write it. :P Should I just switch between Ectri and Songstar, or write this story like I did the first one?
