They had a great time in science class learning about all the creatures in the basic forms, plus they got candy for effort on the assignments. Storm now forgotten about those boys enjoyed her candy. They went to lunch which is the last thing that happens in the day. They all just got their stuff and went home since they had no classes to do other than that. Storm thought about the color of her race and what could lie beyond the walls. Her siblings told her that it is dangerous to go out there with a lot of monsters. Storm let it go but that night she was rocking in her sleep till she got up. Storm wanted to see the world beyond her walls. Storm realized that the only way she will be able to leave is learn how to fly. Storm walked outside and starts beating her wings, but she just tired herself out. Storm finds out that she would be separated from her siblings for math and sent to another class. She feels uncomfortable, feeling their eyes aiming at her once in awhile. Storm wanted to be with her siblings so badly. Storm heard of the 'boy trap' being between two boys. There are two boys in the seats next to her and she wondered what they might say or do. Storm just let it go eventually and started working on her notes. The problems were multiplication which she found very easy in fact; so she went right through the homework and turned it in. Storm remembered the feeling of being watched while she walked back to her seat. That's when one of them started picking fun at her till she got really angry. Storm wanted to hit them so badly, but the bell rang. She got her stuff and walked out.
"Hey where you going weirdo!" Said the fire dragon.
Storm stopped in her path and looked back at them glaring.
"Aww, the feral is mad" Said the ice dragon
There were both bigger than her so she decided against fighting them in the halls even though she may have a chance winning. She didn't know how to fight though.
"Aren't you suppose to run along back to those caves where you belong savage"
Storm turned to them but didn't have any words to say. Her words are silence by indecisive choice of words.
"Looks like the Storm is trying to speak, must be retarded as well" They both ended up laughing
Storm was infuriated, but she just turned and walked away.
"Hah, wind dragon females are suppose to be stronger than males, this ones a wimp" They just went on laughing.
Storm walked around the corner away from them feeling hurt and alone. Her siblings walk up to her and comfort her with their gentle words. Storm started feeling better after they sent their love and comfort through their emotions. Storm smiled at them and walked to their last class of the day.
Storm looks at the field in front of her and decided to try running. She ran up speeding and then jump. She gave a big beat of her wings. Storm found herself soaring and the feeling was exhilarating to her. Storm flew over the wall and out of the city. She turns and looks at her beloved home that she came to know as Ariana. Storm flew off and eventually saw the caves that the boys were joking about. She looks at the cave that is at the bottom and lands or crash landed. Storm created a lot more noise than she intended. She looks around, holding her breath; scared. There was a tat tat tat tat coming from the cave. She hides in the bush waiting to see what kind of creature might come out. To her surprise it was a black dragon, smaller than her size, but probably the same age too. Storm looks at him and started having a little crush on him. Storm moved a little which rustled the bushes. She was now scared of him noticing her. The boy walked over to her and looks at her through the bushes.
"Hello" he said in his foreign accent "Why are you out at night, you know the pack leader will be mad if he finds you outside."
"I'm sorry I shouldn't be here" blushing by how close he is to her.
"What do you mean?" he is very confused, he obviously has only been around his pack and never knew anything about what was beyond his cave.
That's basically what she did left her cave and her pack to explore the world beyond.
"I'm Storm I come from the city of Ariana" She said feeling like she just said something stupid as he looked at her clueless.
"Isn't that the big city?" He asked tilting his head a little bit.
"Yes..." Storm looked away, her wings are opening and closing slowly in her nervousness.
The boy smiled "I heard you guys have giant walls that touch the known skies is that true?"
"Yes" Storm got more confident in talking to him.
"Want to meet my mommy and daddy?"
Storm started feeling terrified and she is not very good at hiding it.
The dragon looked at her and gave her a comforting smile "It's ok they are very nice they won't hurt you, why are you scared?"
"My teachers told me about you guys"
"What's a teacher?"
"They teach you how to write, read, tell history, and learn about animals"
"Oh so they are Oracles?" He seemed very curious about her life in which she didn't know much, she just only found out today.
"Oracles?" The word seemed to hang in the air.
"They are basically teachers"
"Oh, ok" Storm seemed to relax a little bit.
"So will you come see my parents?"
"I guess so..." Storm got out of the bush and noticed how stunned he is to see her "What do I have something on me?"
"No..." He seems speechless.
"Well what's your name?" She is very curious about this dragon that she just meet from a very different world entirely.
"Wind, and yours?" He seemed to spit out his name like he just forgot his notebook at home.
"Storm" Storm smiled feeling that they are now friends.
Wind walks to his cave as she is following him into the dark cave that suddenly lit with green crystals that are dim but still show light. Two dragons were in front of her, one of them was bigger than the other so she assumed the smaller one is the mom...wrong.
Smaller one said "Who is this Wind" his voice is very deep.
"This is my friend Storm, she is from the city"
"So a civil dragoness" He studied her but didn't seem to find much out of her since she is so young and easily intimidated.
Storm is just amazed how correct those two jerks were leaving her a bit annoyed.
"Welcome to Storm, our pack barely gets visitors from the city, we hope you feel comfortable" Said the female black dragoness.
"Now now Leza don't need to over do it, she is only a hatchling" The male said smiling and rolling his eyes.
"Well just making sure everyone is comfortable" she said smiling sheepishly.
"I am fine don't worry about it" said Storm smiling "If it weren't for Wind I probably wouldn't be walking in here"
Wind blushed and a smiled appeared on his face thinking that he just accomplished something especially since he met his first female besides his mom.
"Well you two go off and play" Leza smiled softly "Have fun"
Wind wanted to show her his room, so she followed and found a lot of things she never seen before back in her own city. There is a giant pelt that seems to be a bed. Drawings on the wall which Storm never was allowed to do in her house and would have to clean it up afterward. The one thing about them that got her going was that they were drawn with blood and that it shows a male fighting a colossal bear.
"What are those?" said Storm pointed at them so he could tell what exactly she is talking about.
"Alpha bears" Wind said, his voice tells a lot about how he feels about them, not very cheery.
"Why is the male fighting him though?" said Storm still looking at the bear closely.
"He is doing the tests of fatherhood"
That could explain his gloomy mood when they started talking about them, if Wind ever had to be a father he would have to fight one of the bears. Storm understood that, but what she didn't understand is why would he need to do that for a test in the first place.
"Why does he have to fight the bear to be a father?" Storm said confused.
"To get meat for his partner" Wind said while setting up his bed to get ready to go to sleep.
"Why?" Storm felt like she is pushing it with the questions, but she was really curious about Wind's life.
"Eggs"
"The father takes eggs out of the bear ewww!"
"No no dragon eggs" he just smiled at her innocence, well if she had any that he knew of. "The father gets food for the upcoming hatchlings, so they may eat without starving"
"Oh" said Storm sheepishly looking away.
"Hey don't worry about it, I said the same thing when I first learned about it" Storm giggled "Really?"
"Yeah" Wind moved his wings a little closer to his head as if he wanted to hide himself. He just smiled at her "You know Storm we could be best friends"
"Yeah, that sounds really good" said Storm glad she didn't choke her sentence, would make things a bit weird.
Storm yawned and rubbed her eye.
"Don't rub your eyes you will get pink eyes" said Wind
Storm stopped immediately and smiled "Thanks for looking out for me" She didn't want to come home with pink eyes for the rest of her life and her parents would of wonder where she had been; Although going home looking like a freak would have been worse.
"No problem"
Storm just noticed that next to his bedroom is an entrance to a bath house. These ferals may be wild but definitely not dirty, how ironic.
"Storm you can use my pelt to sleep on, I will use the floor" Wind suggested.
"We could both use the pelt" Storm blushed a bit too much, knowing he probably noticed seeing on her dark purple scales.
Wind blushed as well "Alright" he laid down "It's ok it won't bite" he chuckled
Storm giggles and lays down next to him "Oh wow this is really soft" she smiled
"So your city pelts are not as soft?" he smiled.
Storm smiled sheepishly and said "Yeah I guess so"
"Well good night" Wind was fast asleep right when he closed his eyes.
Storm wondered what her siblings are dreaming about, but she is so far away that it is way too fadey to even see their dreams so she just laid down and went to sleep.
