The Talons Of Fate?

I glared up at the SkyWing that was pinning me down. I always failed at the fighting lessons, It was because our teacher was strict and quick to attack.

"Come on! Fight you little brat, you're a SkyWing, so fight like one!" My teacher snarled, as I wriggled out from underneath of her talons. I then took a deep breath as I readied my claws and prepared to use my fire. I shot out the plume of fire, but like usual, it went right over my teachers head, and it burned the stalagmites over my head and all around me.

"Oh, Three Moons! Yikes!" I cried, as I leapt away from the quickly falling stalagmites. I gave a frustrated hiss, as the SkyWing grabbed me by the wings. I let out a yowl of pain as I was thrown against the stone wall.

"Are all Half-Breeds this slow and stupid? Stand up and fight like a warrior!" The skyWing grumbled, as she got ready to breath a stream of fire. I stumbled to my talons as I ducked and tried to role out of the way, but my wings and tail were scorched. I let out another yowl of pain as I was grabbed once more. I then jumped up to one of the higher stalagmites so that I was a safe distance away from my teacher. I was panting heavily, my scales ached and my wings and tail felt like they were on fire.

"Get down here and fight like a SkyWing!" She roared as she dug her claws into the rocks. I rolled my dark blue eyes and jumped away from the sharp talons.

"But I'm NOT a SkyWing. I'm a NightWing... well sort of." I thought defiantly. I then jumped onto another stalagmite, as I narrowly avoided getting slashed by the SkyWing. I jumped down behind her for a surprise attack, but she grabbed me by the wings and tail. I let out a yowl of pain as my wings and tail flared in pain. She was just preparing another blast of fire when something or someone came to my rescue.

Kestrel suddenly let out a yowl of pain, and with the distraction, I wriggled out of the SkyWings grip. I then collapsed to the floor with a thud.

The red dragon whirled around. Behind her, panting defiantly, was the SeaWing dragonet, Tempest. A red-gold scale was caught between her sharp white teeth. The SeaWing spat it out and she turned to glare at our teacher.

"Stop picking on Cinderheart. Or I'll bite you again." The SeaWing said with a glair, but the SkyWing just scowled and replied with a sneer.

"Well, then she can fight with either the lazy RainWing or the timid NightWing. Actually, I think the SkyWing... or whatever she is, she's more timid and shy then the NightWing." Kestrel said, as I lowered my head in shame. The SkyWing then stomped out of the cave with a huff, and she shot one last glare in my direction.

Once the SkyWing left, Tempest spoke up, as she looked worriedly at my wings and tail, they felt like they were on fire.

"Are you alright Cinderheart? You're scales look really irritated, you need to cool them down. You really should have more confidence in yourself." I gave a pout, and Tempest pushed me over to the river. I gave a hiss of pain as the icy water touched my still burning white and pale blue scales. After a few moments of silence, I spoke up quietly, while the SeaWing treated my wounds.

"Citrus isn't lazy, he's just not made for fighting. And Flashlight is shy and timid because of me." I said, as Tempest began to wet my scales. I hissed at the sharp pain. She then dunked my head underneath of the water as I yelped and spluttered. The cold water is making my scales sting.

"You're just like Ermine. Your shy, timid, nervous and you LOVE to read scrolls." The SeaWing added, in a teasing tone. I just pouted and shook out my wings after I had climbed out of the freezing cold river.

"How are you feeling, Cinderheart?" I looked up from reading my scroll to see the RainWing, Citrus. I ducked my head as I mumbled shyly.

"I-I'm f-feeling b-better, t-thanks f-for asking Citrus." I said, as the RainWing gave a wide grin.

"Wow, you really are shy, aren't you Cinderheart?" He asked, as I lowered my head, and he laughed quietly.

"Well, don't stay up to late. You need more rest, and time to let your scales heal." Citrus said, I nodded and went back to reading my scroll.

ERMINE

I was up early as usual, I looked on the other sleeping platform to see that Tempest was gone. I yawned and stretched out my wings and talons.

Then I went to my small shelf and grabbed one of my many scrolls off of the racks. I then made my way out of mine and Tempest's sleeping cave.

I then entered Flashlight and Cinderheart's sleeping cave. I peaked my head inside to see that Tempest. The SeaWing was cleaning her wounds.

I then walked into the cave, the three other dragonets looked up when I patted into the room. I sat down next to Tempest, who smiled warmly at me.

"How are you feeling Cinder?" Flashlight asked, as the SkyWing/NightWing gave a hiss and her tail twitched.

"I-I'm f-feeling a-a l-little b-better, but my scales hurt a little." The red and black scaled dragonet admitted quietly.

"They still look red, do they hurt?" I asked, as windracer shrugged, witch proved to be a bad idea as she gave a wince of pain.

"You shouldn't move so fast, and don't push yourself to hard, we should go talk to Secret. She might know more then we do. C'mon, let's go!" Tempest said, and the SkyWing/NightWing hybrid put her scroll away with a sigh. We then headed to the guardians sleeping cave.

A/N

Just to clarify. The Tempest and Ermine in this story are my OC's from my Story The Tale Of Two IceWings and from my story Tempest's Confession. I'm just letting you all know. And If you don't Believe me, just go look at my Wings Of Fire OC's. I have two OC's named Tempest and Ermine.
