Chapter Two: Hybrid

"I'm sorry Dewdrop, but we don't have room for another Rainwing," Tsunami says.

Wait, what?! They don't have room for another Rainwing? Now how am I supposed to go to school if I can't even enroll? I wonder if they would accept a Nightwing since I am part one, part another. But I can't tell her about being a hybrid because then she would tell Queen Glory and me and my family would be exiled. Or even worse, executed!

"Ok," I reply, "Thank you for your time."

"I wish that we could accept another Rainwing, but rules are rules. We have to have one, and only one, dragon tribe in each winglet. Now, if she was a Nightwing, that would be a different story. Now what are we going to do?! Froststorm needs a clawmate! And I guess that it'll have to be a Nightwing. Although, the Nightwing are nicer now that they live in the peaceful rainforest. I guess that Froststorm won't mind that she'll be classmates with a Nightwing," are Tsunami's thoughts as she exits the "office".

"She didn't even say goodbye…" I think, but then again, she seemed stressed out. I'm not sure if she always acts that way though, seeing that I've only just meet her.

I hang my head and walk out of the "office".

I hear my talons clicking on the stone, the sound echoing throughout the empty hall, reminding me that I'm all alone. I sigh.

I will always be alone. Forever and ever.

I reach the end of the hall, spread my wings, and fly back home.

I fly back to the rainforest, trying to think about how my mom would react when she learns that I didn't get accepted into the school.

"I home Mom!" I shout once I land on the landing platform next to our treehouse. My mom comes rushing out of the house, embracing me in a big hug. I hug her back.

"So, who's your clawmate?" Mom asks after she pulls away from the hug. My scales turn blue with sadness.

"They already had a Rainwing," I tell her sadly. I watch as Mom's smile turns into a frown.

"Oh dear, that will not do," she says, "You know what? You don't need to go to the school. You can learn from someone here that knows how to read instead! How about a banana to cheer you up?"

"A banana sounds great Mom," I tell her and we go inside our sweet, fruit smelling treehouse.

Mom grabs two bananas from one of the many fruit bowls in the house. She hands me a banana and keeps one for herself.

"Why don't you tell your father about the school? He'll want to know about this. He was so excited for you to enroll," Mom says through bits of her banana. I quickly eat my whole banana, forgetting how hungry I was.

"Yeah, I haven't visited him in a bit. I think that I'll do that," I tell Mom and throw my banana peel out the window and watch it fall to the ground below. I exit the treehouse and take off, but I still hear Mom shout,

"Don't forget your scales, and don't forget to call you father Midnight!"

Right, I almost forgot.

Rainwings and Nightwings live closer together now, but it's still rare for them to interacts with each other. The younger Nightwings that have been born in the rainforest and not the volcano are definitely nicer than the older dragons who were. And now that Nightwings are being born in the rainforest, their powers are back. Moonwatcher has been giving lessons to the dragons and training others to be teachers.

Before I get to the Nightwing village, I swoop down, and land on a tree trunk. I concentrate on making my scales black as night. I add a little bit of dark blue scales onto my wings and try my hardest to make my Rainwing head into a Nightwing one. The same thing with my tail.

Once my transformation is complete, I am no longer Dewdrop the supposed "Rainwing". I am Silverwings, the supposed "Nightwing".

I fly down to the hut that I know is my father's, Midnight. Although I can't call him Dad because I live with Mom, so it would raise suspicion because I was only around about four hours once a week. But Silverwings is a Nightwing that lives in the Scorpion Den, so it makes sense that I don't appear often.

I knock on Dad's- I mean Midnight's- door and he answers right away. He embraces me in a hug that was even tighter than Mom's, and that's saying a lot because her hugs are almost suffocating.

"Silverwings, I'm so excited to see you!" Midnight exclaims and ushers me into the house, "So, how have you've been? How's school? How's Spectrum?"

"Whoa, slow down Midnight, one question at a time!" I chuckle, "I'm doing fantastic. Some Rainwings still don't like me because of the venom thing, but they're getting over it. M- Spectrum is doing excellent too. She misses you."

"And how's school?"

"They…..they already had a Rainwing," I sigh. I watch as Midnight's face falls.

"Oh," is all he says.

We sit in silence for a bit.

"Why don't you apply as Silverwings?" Midnight offers, breaking the silence. I immediately recall hearing in Tsunami's thoughts that they had room for a Nightwing. My scales turn a quick yellow and pink.

"Midnight, Tsunami thought that they had room for a Nightwing! You're a genius!" I tell him and jump up, "I need to tell Spectrum!"

"Goodbye Silverwings! Have fun at school!" Midnight cries as I, once again, fly through the rainforest, going back home.

I can't wait to tell Mom! She'll be so excited! I will enter the school. But not as Dewdrop the Rainwing/Nightwing hybrid, no. I will enter as a Nightwing. A Nightwing named Silverwings.

Hey, 1FunkyMonkey here.

And this is Chapter Two, revised! Thank you, thank you!

So, how are you liking the new story? Pretty cool huh? I made Dewdrop have parents also, and I'm pretty proud of their names. I know that Midnight isn't really a Nightwing name, but it sounded cool, so I used it. Also, their scales are usually described as, "black as midnight." Or something like that.

Thanks for reading and have a fantastic day!
