Chapter 1
Blue hated long walks. They just went on, and on, and on!
'Why couldn't one of the others just carry me!' he thought angrily, looking up at the sky.
It wasn't fair! Everyone else that has wings can use them! So why couldn't he?
He pondered over this thought for a while.
Of course the big dragons always had a reason. They were the ones who sealed his wings.
He once asked how and they had responded with 'magic'.
Not animus magic, no, it was another magic which apparently was top secret, as no one told him how.
All he knew is that if the seal was broken it would put lives in danger.
The only proof it was there was a small circle of black dots on both of his shoulders. Oh and the fact he could barely open his wings, not enough to fly, but he could open them none the less.
It was because of this that he had to walk. Five miles. Uphill. To Jaden Mountain.
'If only Katoa had enough of a spine to carry me there'
He often complained about his foster father, the strange dragon of every tribe.
"I spoke to soon." He thought aloud this time, as he reached a large, steep cliff that formed the base of the area where the landing platform was.
'Great. Climbing. The one thing I hate more than walking'
He began his long climb, sputtering and swearing by the time he reached the top. Finally he made up the cliff right as the main gates were closing.
"Wait!" he yelled, running as fast as he could, "Not yet! NO, NO, NO!"
He burst into the Main Hall right before the doors closed.
"Your late." Fatespeaker observed.
"Riptide. Swimming. Breath." He panted.
The 'brother' of his foster father put him through 'breathing' lessons, where he would force him to sit on a river bed for as long as he could.
Another thing to add to his 'Things I Want to Be!' list: a real SeaWing, no, a real water dragon with real gills.
Sure he was a water dragon, but his gills weren't large enough to allow him to breathe underwater, merely help him hold his breath.
"You're lucky it's day one, otherwise your record would have a 'skipped class' mark" Fatespeaker said holding out a map
"Here you are. I was beginning to think Starflight counted wrong, until late I noticed only thirty-four students were booked as 'arrived'. Jade Winglet." She said, " Your supervisor is Katoa. Jade cave is second on the right, in the third tunnel."
She pointed at the tunnel.
"Thank you." Blue said, running down the hall she pointed to.
The second cave on the right was not the right cave.
Someone had blocked it with a large rock and left a sign hanging on the doorway reading:
Jade Cave
Fifty-two caves further.
Great. More walking.
