Chapter 4:

Froststorm's POV

"Silverwings it's time to wake up," I say to a still sleeping Sliverwings.

"Five more minutes," she groans.

"No, we're going to be late! We need to get up, go to the prey center, grab a quick meal, and get to class before time runs out!" I tell her.

She immediately jumps up and cries, "Wait, we're going to be late?!"

"Yeah, come on let's move!"

We quickly get our supplies and run to the prey center .

The prey center certainly lived up to its name. There was all sorts of prey/food from cows to fish and bananas to mangoes.

I immediately go to the fish. I grab a couple and sit down at a table. I see Silverwings with two bananas and a leg of a goat. I wave to her and she comes over to me and sits down.

"It's crazy in here!" I shout to Silverwings.

"Tell me about it!" She shouts back.

We have to shout because it was so noisy. Then we hear a loud gong.

"That's the first warning," Silverwings tells me.

Dragons start to trickle out of the prey center. We quickly finish off our meals and rush to our classroom.

We arrive just in time.

"Hello, glad you could make it!" Sunny says. At least it wasn't Tsunami who was teaching this class. She kind of scares me.

Our Winglet was sitting in a circle and we took the last two spots, which- thankfully- were next to each other.

"Now that we're all here," Sunny says, "We can introduce ourselves. Everyone say their name, their tribe, and a fun fact about themselves! Boulder, why don't you go first?"

"Hi, my name is Boulder, I'm a Mudwing, and I really like to draw," the male Mudwing says. He has light brown scales with amber underscales.

"Hi my name is Falcon," the Skywing tells us, "I'm a Skywing and even though I'm a guy, I kind of have a thing of jewelry." The Skywing was very small for his kind and he had orange and gold scales with red scales at the bottom of his wings. Around Falcon's neck is a purple chain necklace and he was wearing a deep green, teardrop earring.

"Hello, I'm Seashell and I'm a Seawing," the Seawing says, "And I guess that a fun fact about me could be that I'm the only Seawing in years to have indigo scales." Seashell did have beautiful, deep indigo scales with blue wings. Her glow-in-the-dark stripes are light purple.

Next the Sandwing goes, "I'm Quicksand and my tribe is the Sandwing tribe. A fun fact about me is that…" and then Quicksand mumbles something.

"What was that Quicksand?" Sunny asks.

"ImighthaveacrushonQueenThorn," Quicksand says very quickly and his face turns fully red, like walrus blood. His scales were a pale gold and his wings are a slightly darker shade of gold. Quicksand also had a silver tail bracelet.

"Well, that's ok," the Rainwing starts, "I'm Coco Bean and I'm obviously a Rainwing and I really, really, really like pineapples!" The Rainwing's scales are really bright colors and she seems really excited. That's probably what the bright colors mean.

"Hi, I'm Silverwings and I'm a Nightwing and a fun fact about me is that I've never seen any other dragon other than a Rainwing or a Nightwing before coming here." Silverwings tells us nervously. Her black scales seem to get lighter for a second, but then they darken. I twine my tail around her's, reassuring her that it's ok. It's silent for a bit until I realize that it's my turn.

"Oh, um. Hi, my name is Froststorm and I'm an Icewing and, my parents won't tell me, but I'm pretty sure that my grandmother was a Seawing." I say quietly.

Seashell perks up at the word Seawing.

"Hey, we might be related!" She says.

"You think?" I ask her.

"Definitely." She tells me.

We're quiet for a bit. Then Sunny breaks the silence.

"Well, thank you Boulder, Falcon, Seashell, Quicksand, Coco Bean, Silverwings, and Froststorm. You are now officially the Sapphire Winglet! Welcome to Jade Mountain Academy! Class isn't quite over yet, but I need to check on something, so feel free to talk to each other and get some bonding time as a Winglet," Sunny says, and then leaves the room. We all sit in a awkward silence.

"So… What do you guys want to talk about?" Quicksand asks.

"I know! I know!" Coco Bean shouts, her scales still flashing brightly, "Since we all know each other now, why don't we give each other nicknames!"

"Sounds good to me! Everyone, raise a talon if you like that idea," Boulder says and everyone raises a talon.

"Froststorm, what do you think my nickname should be?" Falcon asks.

"Um, well, a falcon is a bird, so I think that your nickname should be Bird," I tell him.

He smiles.

"And I think that your nickname should be Frosty," he says.

"What?! Why Frosty? That's a terrible nickname!" I exclaim. Frosty, seriously?

"I like it," Seashell says.

"Seashell, you're nickname could be Indigo. Wait, that name is already taken isn't it? How about Scallop? That's a type of shell." Quicksand says.

"Cute," Silverwings says as she joins the conversation, "Quicksand, I think that you should be Q.S. You know, for Quick and Sand."

"I like it. Silverwings, you should be Silver." Boulder tells her. Silver blushes a bit.

"And you, Boulder, should be Rock." I say.

"Rock! Why Rock?" Boulder complains.

"Because I can't be the only one with a terrible nickname." I explain.

"Coco Bean, I think that you should be Bean," Quicksand says.

"I love it!" Coco Bean exclaims!

The gong rings and we all file out of the cave and go to our next class, which is history. Then, after history, we have free time until lunch. And then, actually, I'm not sure. That's the only part of the schedule that I have memorized.

See you in history!
