Meeting Lightseaker

'This group of dragonets seem trustworthy, so I think I'll tell them.' I thought, as I took a shaker breath and I shook out my wings.

I then explained to them everything that had happened to me. From a normal day at school to coming home and finding a crime scene and my mother, Truthfind's dead and blood-stained body.

Flashback

I turned to my two friends with curious and excited Amethyst eyes. Are next class was tree gliding practice, this was my favorite class in the day.

"Are you ready to go tree gliding Light?" Silverwings asked, smiling at both me and Cleverclaws with a bright smile. I nodded eagerly in excitement. I smiled to myself, I'm really good at tree gliding, I grinned even wider. It's probably because of my RainWing half... yes I'm a hybrid. You head that right.

"You bet I am!" I grinned, my tail twitching in excitement. My two friends laughed quietly as we all made our way outside into the sunny and cloudless blue sky.

"Alright students, line up and I'll pick the groups of dragonets." Our teacher, a kind and sassy RainWing named Rose spoke up in a gentle but firm tone of voice.

"I wonder if I'll be with Silverwings and Cleverclaws." I thought, with a hopeful smile on my face. I then saw one of my other friends, she was a RainWing/NightWing hybrid with dark purple scales, indigo wings and light purple eyes. Her name's Treejumper.

"Hay! Treejumper!" I called out happily, she turned and her face broke out into a wide grin when she saw me. I laughed and motioned her over with a wing.

We made small talk with each other while Rose assigned the groups of dragonets. me, Treejumper, Silverscales and Cleverwings are all childhood friends. I hope I'm in a group with my friends.

"Three Moons! That was amazing!" I cheered, as I did happy loops in the air. My three friends smiled and we then all raced threw the trees as we tucked our wigs in to fly faster.

We all ended up crash landing and we laned on top of each other. I just bluinked and then I broke out into a fit of giggles.

Eventually we all stood back up to our talons and we all shook out our wings, we we all still laughing though. Once we had all calmed down, we made our way to my small hut.

The sight that met our eyes that day would be one that we would never forget. Blood was in puddles on the floor right in the doorway that led into the hut.

I stepped inside with shaking talons and a feeling of dread was pooling in my Stomach, as I slowly entered the living room. I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight that greeted me.

My mother, Truthfinder was laying on the floor with multiple stab wounds and one of her wings was slashed, her throat had been slit. I couldn't move, I felt like I was going to throw up. My friends were all standing behind me, they were frozen in place and they were all as white as a sheet.

"I-I-I... I'm going to be sick." I muttered, as I ran outside and threw up the contents of my stomach in a bush. I was shaking and I felt really hot, I took a shuttering breath and I slowly made my back into the house.

"Are you okay Light?" Cleverclaws asked, looking at me with a worried expression. I slowly nodded and took a seat on the couch that had recently been built. I curled up and stared with an empty gaze at the wooden walls of the house.

"Who could have done this?!" Silverwings quiatly asked, looking at the many wounds that littered my mother's scales. I just shrugged my wings and gave a tired sigh.

"I don't know Silver, but whoever did, is going to pay! I'm going to go outside and try and think of a plan. Can you guys right down a list of suspects?" I asked, and Silverwings nodded her head while I wet outside to think of a plan.

As I sat outside staring up at the setting sun, I lowered my head as tears began to well up in my eyes. My dad had been killed by a RainWing who had gone crazed from a sickness that affected her brain, so on that day two dragons died.

My dad's name was Snake, he was a RainWing with the most pretty blue and purple scales. He had met my mother Truthfinder after she had fled from the volcano that the rest of her tribe lived on.

She had fallen in love with him and about a year later they found out that my mother was having an egg, that turned out to be my egg. My parents had wanted to have another egg but before they could, my father had been killed in the middle of the night.

"Three Moons! T-that's horrible!" Nightwatcher exclaimed, her face was as white as a sheet. I nodded and I looked up at them with sad and depressed eyes.

"So is that how you got that scar on you wing?" Sapphire asked, tilting her head. I shook my head and took a deep breath before I answered.

"It was from RainWing venom. The healers were able to The wound. But it's scarred that's all wounds like that do." I explained, and everyone excepted for me and my friends were horrified.

"H-how about w-we talk a-about something e-else n-now." Nightwatcher asked, the poor NightWing looked absolutely terrified. I nodded in agreement.
