Chapter 1: The Strangest Hybrid In Pyrrhia
"But Mother! All the other dragonets will laugh at me!" Silverspinner complained to her mother who answered her without looking up from the scroll she was writing.
"No they will not, Dear. Pantalan and Pyrrhian tribes have lived together before."
Silverspinner knew that, but she was sure that they were going to laugh at her. She was jostled from her thoughts as her mother stood up, wiping the claw she had used for writing on a cloth, and walked over to her.
"Nobody is going to laugh at you, Silverspinner." She said, looking straight into Silverspinner's eyes calmly.
"Okay...if you say so." Silverspinner muttered.
Her mother wrapped her wings around Silverspinner, giving her a warm hug and kissing her forehead.
"Now go, before you're late."
Silverspinner slipped through the trees skillfully, not looking at any of the confused RainWing dragonets as a SilkWing hybrid did so much better at tree gliding than them.
It had been 7 years, 4 months and 26 days since her father had left her on a RainWing doorstep, promising he'd be back soon.
She was lucky that the RainWing that happened to live in that house had just lost her egg and was looking to adopt.
She was also lucky that RainWing didn't mind if her adopted dragonet was a Silk-night hybrid.
She flew past a group of flying RainWing dragonets as if they were standing still, then skidded onto the landing platform of her school treehouse.
"Silverspinner, 8 points, fast flyer but reckless on the landing," Said a bored magenta dragon.
She frowned to herself as she walked past him into the school. She didn't know she was being tested on her flying.
It was the second day at a new school, and nobody had had time to laugh at her on the first, since they were still finding friends to laugh with.
But now they would.
She lashed her tail behind her, thinking to herself as she walked to her class.
Being deep in thought, she didn't notice how the other dragonets cleared out of her way to let her pass, or how they whispered and giggled after she had walked past them.
Then again, it might of been better if she didn't know.
She stepped into the classroom and chose a seat on the middle right, sitting between a bright blue dragonet and a calm green one.
She arranged her table the way she liked it, and glanced at the door as a bubbling RainWing walked through.
The RainWing was a rosy blush color, her talons, wingtips, and tail fading into a bolder pink.
The pink dragonet walked straight over to Silverspinner and stuck her face right in front of her, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Hello! You're not a RainWing. You look like a SilkWing, but with black, like a Night-Ooh! Are you a hybrid? That's cool!" The dragonet said loudly, either not noticing or ignoring all the stares and whispers directed her way.
"My name is Bloom, by the way. What's yours? I bet it's something like Silky or Butterfly, right?" She asked, a yellow dot appearing on her snout.
Is she mocking me?
Silverspinner scowled at Bloom, trying to scare the happy RainWing off. Bloom noticed the scowl and moved her head so it wasn't in Silverspinner's face.
"Welllll?" Bloom said, expecting an answer to her question.
"Silverspinner." She answered, staring at her desk as she went back to organizing it.
"Pretty name! Mine's Bl-oops, I already told you mine, didn't I?" The RainWing laughed, drawing even more attention.
"Ahem, If you two wouldn't mind, I would like to get this class started." The teacher's annoyed voice interrupted Bloom's laugh, and to Silver's dismay, she sat in the one vacant seat next to hers.
Just great. Silverspinner thought bitterly as she opened the history scroll and began reading where the teacher had instructed.
Silverspinner ate her meal slowly, picking at the fruit and vegetables on her plate. She had always preferred meat.
The school however, being for RainWings, served vegetarian lunches only.
A blood red RainWing stalked into the cafeteria, wings tilted forward and neck arched regally.
Silverspinner watched as the more cheerfully colored Rainwings whispered and pointed at the silent dragonet. The RainWing stopped in front of one of the tables, glaring at the dragonets sitting there.
It took a few minutes, but the RainWings at the table quieted and looked at the red dragonet. Most of the other dragons had become silent as well, so the RainWing's voice was clear and loud when she spoke.
"Excuse me, but what did you just say about my mother?" The dragonet demanded, flicking her tail as her dark red color rippled.
"Oh come on, Mamba, it was just a jok-" The yellow dragonet was cut off as Mamba sprang towards him, talons outstretched.
All the dragonets in the cafeteria jumped up from their seats, moving away from the two fighting RainWings until there was a clear space.
Mamba had the dragonet pinned in seconds, his normal yellow color a lime green streaked with white.
"I asked a question. Repeat what you said about my mother."
First chapter done! I don't really have a schedule planned out for this, I think I'll just post chapters when they're done.
This takes place around 200 years after the books. Glory's granddaughter was like Magnificent, and she took the tribe back to being lazy and apathetic. However, somethings are a bit better. ( Schools, parents, etc. )
