Blizzard 11

Blizzard looked around with worried eyes. All he could hear was frantic, repeating, 'My fault'. It sounded like...Lynx….

Blizzards eyes widened.

A icy talon waved in front of his face, snapping him out of the voice.

"I-I-" The icy blue hybrid cut off as he heard the voice again.

"I would love to go flying with you…." He trailed off as the voice became louder and more frantic. His head whipped around, trying to find the source of the voice.

"Lynx? Is that you?" He asked out loud. Evergreen's eyes widened in surprise as the two dragons heard claws clicking on stone as a dragon ran away, taking the voices with it.

Evergreen looked sadly in the direction of the noise, before turning back to Blizzard with an excited squeak.

"So...wanna go flying before all the performances….or just before yours?" She asked shyly, shifting her wings nervously.

Blizzard twisted his necklace nervously. "Um...I guess before mine…" he looked down at the pendant that had felt slightly heavier as the day went on. He let it go and wiped some dust from his glasses.

"Alright!" Evergreen exclaimed with a bright smile. "See you then!" she turned and dashed towards the caves with a happy hop in her step.

Blizzard stared after her for a moment with a small smile. He turned to look back at the hallway the noise had some from. He dropped his smile and began to try and find his friend.

He found Lynx. But he didn't find her first. She was walking towards the performance area as he stepped out of the school.

He spotted professor's, Clay, Sunny and Fatespeaker discussing something and occasionally pointing at the decorated trees.

Blizzard began towards The Rainwing Prince and Lynx but froze when Sloth glared at him with a new hatred.

Sloth had a wing around Lynx, like he was shielding her. Lynx trotted alongside him closely and her face was flushed, like she had been crying.

When Lynx spotted Blizzard she stared at her talons and slowed her pace.

Blizzard began towards the two, and tried to hear them. He didn't care if Lynx thought of it as rude, he wanted to know what was wrong.

He was hit by mental shields and he frowned.

"Hey Lynx!" He greeted Lynx with a small wave. She offered him a weak smile.

"Hey…." She responded quietly.

"Are you alright?" He asked, blue eyes full of concern. He wanted to know what was wrong. This was the first time he had heard it, but he knew that this wasn't just about what happened in the hall.

Sloth eyed him, his scales shifting between reds and oranges, his edges of his ruff shifted to black, and spread slowly.

"Yeah...Sloth helped me out." She smiled up at Sloth, light catching the black diamonds along her neck that she got to represent her mother.

Blizzard frowned, his eyes sad. He opened his mouth to say something when Sloth suddenly blurted something out.

"Look! The music class brought the drums out! Their doing a run through!" he took Lynx's Talon in his and together they ran of laughing.

Blizzard watched as the percussion began a cadence, and Sloth and Lynx began to hop around to the beat.

The other students watched them with smiles.

Blizzard prodded at Lynx's mental walls, and began to listen.

It doesn't matter. You can't prevent anything. You can be here and now. With Sloth. You don't need to be able to see to know that everything will be alright.

Blizzard blinked in surprise. Lynx couldn't see ahead anymore? Was it for the same reason his sight was weaker?

He turned away from the laughing prince and dragoness and stalked towards the school. He had to find out more. And where better to go than to Professor Moonwatcher.

…

…

…

"Professor?" Blizzard called into the class cave before stepping in.

The Nightwing Professor was reading a scroll at her desk and looked up at him with a worried smile.

"Is everything alright?" She asked, fidgeting with a corner of the scroll.

"I..I don't think so." He sat on the other side of her desk with a sigh. The Professor was immediately on edge.

"Have you seen something? Gotted a prophecy? Tell me everything!" She reached under her desk and pulled out an empty parchment and a bottle of ink.

"Actually...i haven't seen anything since Lynx and I...Well...if she finds out i told anyone about it she'll kill me….well, we had a vision a while back towards the beginning of the first semester. And we did receive a prophecy." He began twisting his necklace again.

Professor Moon stared at him with her eyes wide. Before frowning.

"Tell me everything." she demanded.

He did explain everything. From his first vision in the library, with the bloody scroll with Lynx's name on it, to the true history of animus magic, to the last vision he had, and how he had barely saw anything anymore.

Professor Moon thought for a moment.

"What was the prophecy again?" She asked dipping her claw into the bottle of ink and preparing to write.

Blizzard tried to call to it, and had difficulty. The feeling came and he began, trying to force it out as it became harder to speak and see the words.

" B-beware the winter storm

They will come t-the darkest night

To c-claim what their queen desires

to claim someone e-else's powers

but for now they are hid-d-den

Using gifts of the for-r-rbidden

Chains that were o-once lost

are now being used for the queen's cause," Blizzard had not realized he had closed his eyes, and he lifted to feel the tear that was rolling down his snout. He wiped it away. He began to mess with his necklace again.

Moonwatcher was silent for a while.

"Thank you for telling me, Blizzard. I will inform the headmistress and the other professors about everything," with a sigh she rolled up the parchment, "Keep your mind open, don't block anything out. You need to be able to hear. Now, go find your group. The shows will start soon."

Well. NEW CHAPTAHHHHHH.

looking back through the Hybrids to find everything Blizzard needed to tell Moon was just like...BOOM...XD. this story is my evolution as a writer. I can see all my growth. I want to thank everyone who reads and supports this story.
