~ I still don't own Wings of Fire~
Chapter 2
" Oh, where could Starflight be?" Sunny worried. About 4 hours after her run in with Starflight, Fatespeaker ran to her, worried. It turned out that Starflight was missing, even though the chart said he was in the mountain. They started looking for him, currently with Sunny in the halls while Fatespeaker looking in the library.
" I just hope he is ok." Sunny thought. She had sent him off with him being pretty sad. She hopped he didn't hurt himself or anything like that. " I think I found him!" Fatespeaker yelled from the library. "What do you mean, you think you found him?" Sunny was running down towards the library, wondering what Fatespeaker meant. " I think you should see for yourself." Fatespeaker said once Sunny had entered.
Sunny went over to see what Fatespeaker meant, and gasped. Lying down unconscious on the ground was what looked like a newly hatched Nightwing without an eggshell. " What... what does this mean?" Sunny said, not fully comprehending what she was seeing. " I... I don't know, but I'm sure that it is Starflight." Somehow, even though he didn't have anything proving it was Starflight, there was just something within Sunny that told her that that baby dragon in front of her, was indeed Starflight.
" What do we do?" Fatespeaker asked. Sunny didn't know. She was still transfixed on the baby Starflight, as if he was hers, and that she needed to take care of him. She reached down and slowly scooped him up. " Go find the milk in the feeding chamber and slightly warm some up in a canteen, then meet me in the sleeping chambers." Fatespeaker nodded, and quickly ran off. " oh Starflight, how did you do this to yourself?" Sunny wondered as she went off to the bedchambers.
She went into Starflight's chamber and went inside. There were scrolls scattered everywhere. Sunny tutted to herself, thinking " Oh, Starflight, why couldn't you keep you're chamber tidy?" She then decided to go over to her chamber, which was perfectly clean. " This is much better." She thought to herself. She then went over to her bed and put the baby Starflight down softly. She then pulled the blanket slightly over him and stood back, admiring her work. Starflight was still unconscious, and her some reason, seeing the baby dragon all rolled up and asleep, she grinned to herself.
" Wait, what am I thinking," She suddenly thought, " I need to find a way to help Starflight, not treating him like this. But still, someone needs to watch him and wait for him to wake up." She then sat down, grabbed a scroll she had been reading, and waited for either Starflight to wake up, or for Fatespeaker to get up here. Whichever came first.
Starflight felt tired, not wanting to get up. He had woken up still dizzy for some reason, but he didn't care because he was warm. He slightly opened his eyes, reaching out to see if there were any scrolls near him he could read before he got up for the day, when he saw something he couldn't believe.
His hand was extremely small. His eyes shot open immediately, staring at his small hand. It looked like a baby dragon's hand might look, small with no sharp claws yet. " How can this be happening?" Starflight thought. He then noticed that his arm was small as well. He suddenly tried to get up, but failed when he fell right back on the bed. He looked at himself, now that the blanket came off when he tried to get up, and yipped in surprise. His whole body was small, his legs, tail, and chest. They were all small. He was small.
Starflight was panting in worry, trying to think of how this happened, when suddenly a dragon was in his face. He fell back, surprised, and was then pulled back up by the dragon, who he now recognized as Sunny. Somehow though, she looked way bigger than him, with her head being about the same size as him. " Starflight, you're awake!" Sunny said. She had noticed he was awake when suddenly she heard a yip come from the bed. " Now that you're awake, can you please tell me how you got transformed back into a baby dragon?"
Starflight just stared at her, her words sinking in. "A... a baby?!" Starflight yelled. Or at least he tried to yell, but it all came out as squeaks. "Oh no, Starflight, can you still talk?!" Sunny asked, worried. Starflight tried to talk again, but still only squeaks came out, in which he shook his head no. " Do you at least know how this happened to you?" Sunny asked, hoping that there would be at least a clue to what happened. Starflight thought, but the last thing he remembered was heading towards the rainforest to see Clay. He once again shook his head, which Sunny sighed.
She had no clues as to how Starflight ended up this way, and that would not bring her any closer to changing him back. "Well, I don't know what to tell you Starflight, but until we have an idea of how you became a baby dragon again, we have no choice but to take care of you."
"Wait, we?" Starflight wondered to himself. Suddenly, Fatespeaker ran into the room, almost running into Sunny. "Where is he? Is he ok? Is he awake yet?" Fatespeaker quickly asked all these questions while Sunny took the canteen of milk from her. " He is awake now, but we might have a small problem." Sunny explained to Fatespeaker that Starflight didn't know how he became small, and that he could no longer talk. " That is terrible," Fatespeaker said, going over to the baby Starflight. " What if we have to take care of him until he fully grows up again?" Sunny hadn't actually thought about that, caring so much for Starflight while not even wondering if it was permanent.
" First things first, we need to tell the others about what has happened. Maybe one of them will have an idea of what to do." Fatespeaker thought for a moment, then said, " But who will watch Starflight while the other goes to tell them?" " I will watch him, just go to the board and see where everyone is. Just tell them that something has happened and I need to talk to them here. That will make them come here quickly." Fatespeaker nodded as she ran to check the board and see where everyone was.
" Well, I guess that it will just be me and you for a while Starflight." Sunny looked over to the baby dragon only to find him curled up in the blankets again. "Ah, look at how cute he looks." Sunny then went wide eyed at what she just said. " What am I thinking, I should be trying to care for him, not treat him like a mother to a child." Yet something just felt right with that. And it slightly scared her.
