Animus. A dragon who can use magic to do anything they can dream of, besides resurrection. The price they pay for useing their power is beyond compare. Losing ones soul to the karmic binds, as it seemed to be some kind of trend among Animi to preform some kind of violence.
Murder being the most common.
There may be many things about Silver, he didn't know himself. Things that he didn't know because of living in isolation.
But there is one thing he does know.
That he has never casted a spell in his entire life.
He refused to believe that he is surposed to be some kind of all powerful dragon.
Seeing the Future?
Well he rarely did anything about it anyway, so whatever.
Hearing thoughts of others?
Unnecessary and a headache, he rather not have it. But Animus powers? At the price of his soul no less?
No thank you Universe, please take it away.
"No way. I've never casted a spell in my life. I'm no Animus. He must have been mistaken." Silver bared his teeth in denial, but there was nothing vicious about it and his clawmate knew this too.
Boreas looked at Silver for a moment longer. "Well... If it does happen, that one day you cast a spell... You can come to me, as a royal Icewing I can tell you quite a bit about animus magic."
He appriciates the offer but he slinked away from the ice dragon without another word.
Ah. So you're an Animus aswell?
Again. The voice.
Yes, Me again. Hello Silver
He really didn't feel like argueing at the moment. ("No I'm not an animus. In order to be an animus I have to be able to cast a spell. I have never done so.")
Have you ever tried? Your father, Breakingdawn, is-- was Stonemovers brother right? There is plausible that you may be an animus.
Silver stopped in the middle of the hallway, a frown deep in his face. He starred at the lanterns up by the stalagmites tensly.
("How do you know my fathers name? Who even are you, You know my name but I don't know yours.")
Right. My name is Darkstalker.
Hah? Like the mountains Darkstalkers teeth???
There are mountains named after me? I'm flattered.
("They don't have a good reputation. You really shouldn't be flattered.")
His mind flashed to the half decayed bodies of Icewings he had spotted when he once flew close to the mountain range that once time.
To the skelletons he and Snow saw when flying together here to Jade Mountain Academy.
To his mother warning him never to spend to much time by those Mountains. It may kill him.
He wasn't fond of those memories.
Ah, I never thought of it as being such a nightmare fuel for young isolated dragonets in the future back then. My bad.
That remark went over his head when he suddenly remembered something he saw.
Darkstalker?
Yes?
He's read that name before in the Abandoned Kingdom. It... It was on a half finished profile painting of Whiteouts.
He had always found them really pretty, so he had looked for them whenever he wanted to look at something other than abondoned city, and fantasized about who the dragons she had drawn are and what their stories were. One day he had found that one in particular.
It was blue but then suddenly the peacefull color had been crossed by a streak of red like Whiteout had emotionaly swiped her brush across it.
He never dared to fantasize about that one, it seemed too sad.
Oh. I see... She was more affected by that than I thought....
Darkstalker went quiet.
He was sad now. He definetivly knew Whiteout then.He hadn't ment to make him sad, but he can't take back his flashback.
Silversun snapped awake by a shout from across his and his clawmates sleeping cave, The Jade Winglets Sleeping Cave.
Boreas and Snow were also rudely awaken by the shout of 'good morning!'
Boreas drew a long hiss as he slowly fell back into his bedding, making his displeasure very clear. Depsite the fact Kinkajou from the Jade Winglet, who had shouted, wouldn't hear it.
Even Snows scales drew orange spirals to show her own annoyance. Rainwings are heavy sleepers from what Silver has gathered. So she wouldn't like be awaken like this.
Bong-Bong-Bong
The warning bells...!
They are late for class!!
Everyone sprinted and stumbled out the Sleeping cave.
Silver glanced at Moonwatcher as he passed her for a second. She gazed back at him, surprised and at everyone else.
Once they were in the right cave, the three pretended like they hadn't almost overslept and stood stifly.
They made it though, so it was all good.
There were some switches in the Jade Winglet and everyone was surposed to introduse themselves.
Silver listened to Qiblis remarks carefully when he noticed what the Sandwing was thinking. He really shouldn't but he felt like it would help him talk to everyone but Snow. It'll make things easier for him.
It got a quite funny when Winter(The dragon who has a very deep dislike for Nightwings, and called him an Animus)
had to introduse himself. Qibli was really poking fun at him.
Then it went on about the Nightwings.
Also Moon was put on the spott by Winter.
Moon didn't know anything because she grew up on the rain forest so Winter put Silver on the spott instead.
"U-um. From what I've seen in the Abandoned Night Kingdom, Nightwings did have those powers? Not all of them, some did? It depended if-- There was conditions? Something about eggs underneath moonlight or something or the other?"
I see, So this Nightwing has all of the social Anxiaties. He looks a little odd, Icewingy. A Hybrid then. Very little self esteem and no confidense, doesn't know how to act around other dragons. Can confirm Nightwings had powers once, not all of them but if conditions are met definetivly.
Silver didn't think much of Qiblis thoughts about him, isn't anything knew to him.
"There was scrolls all about it-- oh and instructons on how to not read other dragons' minds and how non mind readers can shield their thoughts?
And uh-- I find alot of old old written down prophecies in abandoned houses. So they- we had Powers once. But I guess Nightwings forgot the conditions over the centuries. Or or maybe couldn't meet them anymore?? I don't know."
"We heard it dragons! The Nightwings lost their powers to time, as long as everyone knows that, The Nightwings can't manipulate the other tribes ever again."
Tsunami announced as Winter and other Nightwings starred holes into Silversun.
He ducked his head and heaved his wings foward to hide himself.
The head of the school announced hunting and dove away.
Silver wants to go home.
