Chapter 8

Solstice

Solstice dropped like a stone into a small room with a throbbing wing and an aching head. He landed on an invisible lump. The lump yelped and disappeared from under him. He hit the ground with a thud and was immediately attacked by noise.

"WOW! You look weird!" he exclaimed. The dragonet was a light colour that he had never seen before. He stared at it for a few seconds before he realized she was still talking to him.

"Hello? Can you hear me? So what's your name? Why do you look weird? Am I dreaming?" He stared at her, not understanding.

"I'm a Sandwing," Solstice said in a small, confused voice.

"A Sandwing? I thought those were a myth. Anyway, I'm Rainbow. Who are you?"

Rainbow stared at him for a minute or two before he realized what she had said.

"Um..." he mumbled. "I'm So-"

"What? Where am I?" A new voice interrupted. Solstice looked over it was a creature that looked like a Seawing from his mother's stories. He stared at it for a second then fainted.
