Wings Of Fire: The Sapphire Winglet Volume 1(UNDER REWRITTING)

by Amethyst Wereraven

A mysterious dragon has been murdering dragonets in Jade Mountain Academy, striking when a dragonet is alone or in pairs. The former Dragonets of Destiny are unable to stop this murdering spree, Silverscales and her friends may not know each other well yet, but she knows they are ready to stop this murdering spree. But will it really that easy? (Rated T just in case.)

1. Prologue

(I do not own Wings Of Fire.)

"The dragonets of destiny..." she snarled, staring at Jade Mountain with seething hatred in her eyes, the dark evening sky outlined the silhouette of the large mountain. It looked quiet outside, but inside, there was activity bustling about.

"A big rotting pile of seal guts." she turned to the wary NightWing behind her, about the age of 9 maybe, entering adulthood.

"See something for me." she requested, striding deeper into the cave the two were in. The NightWing leaned away from her, his wariness showing on his face and fear in his eyes.

After a moment, he opened and closed his mouth several times before reciting some sort of poem.

"A dragonet of a silver scale,

A dragonet of a bright pink eye,

Together they shall stow away,

To become heroes of the day."

'No...' she realized, 'This isn't a poem...'

"Along comes the big red giant,

Along comes the earthy self-reliant,

Together they will seal their fate,

And defeat the dragon of hate."

'This is... No...'

"Here comes the bantam yellows,

Here comes the acute blue,

These three will join the group,

And soon they too, will seal their destiny."

'Stop!'

"They are the children of the blue stone,

They are the next generation,

So beware, dangerous wing,

For your spree of terror shall soon end!"

A roar escaped her throat, her talons slashing and blood splattering onto the cave walls. The young NightWing fell to the ground, no sounds escaping his snout, for his head was no longer with his body.

"Tsk." she growled, annoyed. She flicked her bloodied talons, tiny red dots appearing on the floor, some landing near the bigger puddle while some hit home and mixed into the pond of red liquid.

Her heart was beating fast and hard, blood pounded in her ears, and she was certain that if there were anyone else in the cave with her, they would be able to hear it too.

"Hah..." she laughed nervously, turning away from her horrendous work and leaving the scene, her tail dragged behind her, the tip dipped into the puddle of liquid ruby and smeared the floor with it. Once she was at the cave's mouth, she spread her wings and raised her head proudly.

"What a bunch of nonsense." she said to herself, "After all, they're only dragonets."

And with that, she dove out of the cave and down into the abyss below. However, she rose all of the sudden into the air, her magnificent wings flapping as she gained height. What remained of the sunlight shone against her back, warmth seeping between her thick scales. She flew towards Jade Mountain, ready to prepare for the next day. Unaware of her furture...
