Wings of Fire: Into the Future

by GooseInTheBookOfFairytales15

Prince Aquifer was used to getting weird looks. He had been getting them all his life. His mother was a SeaWing princess, and his father was a NightWing diplomat. But when he comes to Jade Mountian Academy, his whole life gets turned upside down. But when a new threat emerges, Aquifer will have to work with his newfound friends to neutralise the threat.

(Side note: This takes place 500 years after the Dragonet Prophecy)

'Hi. My name is Aquifer.'

Why does he look so weird?

What is he?

Is he a SeaWing?

The thoughts ran around Aquifer's mind. This happened every time he went anywhere. He hated it.

'I know I look weird. My mother is a SeaWing princess and my father is a NightWing diplomat.' He explained.

'Oh, so that explains the scales. And the wings.' The RainWing said, her scales turning a vibrant purple.

'So, Aquifer, does that make you a SeaWing prince?' The SkyWing questioned. He seems friendly. I must know everything about him and report back to Queen Sunrise. His thoughts drifted around, making Aquifer feel uncomfortable.

'Yes. Now, can we please move on?' He said, looking around the room. The RainWing looked up.

'Ok. I'll go next. Hi, my name is Raincloud.' She introduced.

'Why Raincloud?' The SkyWing said, curious to hear this story.

'Well, my parents never really told me. My brother, Baobab, thinks it's because it was raining when I was born, and because my parents don't like me.' She chuckled nervously. Her scales turned a deep burgundy. He knew that meant she was shy.

Aquifer thought she was interesting. On the one hand, she was excitable and curious as to the way her scales changed colour. On the other hand, she was as shy and mysterious as her mood.

'Ok, now that she's finished, is it my turn?' The SandWing chimed in.

'Sure.' Everyone agreed.

'Ok. Hello, my name is Sphinx. I like to hunt. I also like to explore new places. I was born on the Lost Continent, as my parents lived there up until now.' He explained. The SkyWing listened intently, hanging on his every word.

Ok, so this SandWing wasn't born on SandWing territory. That's a key aspect. I see that tail flickering around, ready to stab anyone. I'm watching you, SandWing.

Aquifer knew that people would freak out if people knew that he could read minds.

Of course, they would. A new voice rang in his head.

'What?' He muttered.

Who are you? He thought.

I am the almighty Black-eye. And you are Prince Aquifer, my great-grandson.
