Aggro awoke early that morning to a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. As quietly as she could without waking the others, Aggro quickly and quietly flew towards the door as she used her claws to open it enough for her to slip through. She then flew to where Dak and Leyla slept, but when Aggro nudged the door open, she froze when she saw no sign of them. She tried not to panic as she flew back to the sleep cave. There was no need to tell the others... right? However, Aggro couldn't fall back asleep, so she decided to go out and look for them... however... she didn't notice that Winger was following close behind her, as she flew on and out into the early morning air.
Aggro had been flying for a while when she saw something as red as fire in the corner of her eye and as she flew down to investigate, what she saw made her jaw drop in shock, it was another fire fury. And right beside it was a relentless razorwing, and they were both females by there sent. The Fire Fury shifted as she began to sit up as she stared at Aggro with wide eyes. And it was then that she noticed Winger land beside them, causing the other fire fury to jump up in surprise, the razorwing, noticing her companions distress, quickly jumped to her feet with a warning growl
The four dragons just sat there, completely still, as they stared at each other for what felt like hours. And finally, after about what was really five minutes of staring and awkward silence, it was the other fire fury who attempted to break the ice. "Umm... so... now what?" Aggro sighed and stared down at her talons in thought. These dragons sure are acting very weird... and now that she thought about it, so is the other one.
"So... do we head back to the Roost then?" Winger asked in an attempt to release some of the tension that was clearly making everyone of them feel on edge. Aggro sighed, shook out her wings, and nodded her head in agreement with Winger's very awkward question. "Ok, let's go." She said, flapping her wings and lifting into the air, Aggro then watched with a bit of confusion as the other two dragons struggled to keep there wings flapping, they wobbled into the sky, dipping and falling in two second bouts. And that was making Aggro even more confused and even a bit worried and concerned.
As the four dragons flew back to the Roost, they soon caught sight of Summer, Cutter, and Burple, who were all waiting outside of the entrance of the sleeping cave. "Where have you two been? And who are they?" Cutter was the first to speak once Aggro, Winger, and the other two dragons had landed. "Well you see... we actually don't know the answer," Aggro says and the other three dragons just blinked in confusion as they turned to stare curiously at the two new arrivals.
And once again it was the other fire fury who spoke up to break the silence. "So... um... we have to tell you all something very important..." she trailed off as she looked at the other razorwing, who nodded her head for her to continue speaking. "Well you See... we're not actually born dragons," and with that ominous statement hanging in the air and the unsaid and unspoken words, the other Rescue Riders all staired in wide-eyed surprise as they slowly put the puzzle peaces together.
After a few moments of very awkward silence, it was Winger who attempted to break it. "Dak and Leyla?" He asked the two human-turned dragon. The two dragons both nodded and more silence fell on the group and this time, Summer was the one who broke it. "But how? Just... how? And when?" Dak and Leyla glanced to one another and the two dragons just shrugged their wings in response, they didn't know how it had happened... but all they knew was that they were dragons now. "Well, you see... the truth is... we honestly have no idea," Leyla replied, looking up at Summer, who bent her head down to be eye-level with her friend. "Woah! You're really big, OMSC! That's so crazy!" Leyla exclaimed as she stood as tall as she could, so she could see the other dragons as well, and she then turned to stair at Aggro with an amused grin plastered on her face.
"Wait, hold up a sec... how did Dak turn into a female dragon?" Cutter asked, tilting his head in confusion as he stared at both Dak and Leyla with wide-eyed confusion still written on his face. "Yeah, how the heck did that happen?" Burple asked them. Leyla and Summer glanced at each other with identical looks of confusion. "A young witch about 13-years-old who was most likely still in training, used a spell on us and everything went downhill from there," Leyla explained, trying to remember what exactly had happened. But she couldn't figure it out for the life of her. "So... you two will need to change your names," Winger eventually replied, bringing Leyla out of her thoughts as she stared up at the swiftwing. "Wait, what? But why?" Dak asked and Summer continued to explain. "Because you two aren't human anymore... well for the time being... I mean..." she trailed off after receiving a glair from Dak. Leyla tried to bat him with one of her small wings. But it was Aggro who did it for her.
"Hay! Watch it!" Aggro snapped as she turned back to Summer, the fastfin was staring at her former human-turned dragon best friend with sad eyes. "Let Summer finish speaking, Dak. It's rude to interrupt someone when there speaking to you," Leyla says, and Dak nodded her head as she turned back to give Summer her full attension. "Anyways, as I was saying... we need to think of new names for you two..." Summer continued, her tail swishing back-and- forth as she spoke. "I thought of a few names," Aggro spoke up after a short while and everyone turned to her with anticipation.
"Cynder, Spike, Burn, Everest, Ruby, Dawn, Silver, Ember... should I continue?" She asked and they all paused to think over the names that had been listed. Then Dak spoke up after a few moments of silence. "I like the name Burn," she says and Leyla spoke up next, "and I'll go with... Cynder," she eventually replied. The other dragons all smiled and they then started talking about training, Aggro volunteered to help train Cynder how to use and control her fire while Cutter volunteered to train Burn. The others just sat and watched to see what progress would be made for the two human-turned dragons, they were all hoping for the best, Winger and Summer had especially high hopes for there friends, due to knowing the two for so long.
"Rise and shine everyone!" Came Winger's voice as he flew around the other half-awake-half-asleep dragons. "Ugh! But why, Winger? It's still early." Cutter muttered tiredly with a yawn as he shook out his wings and slowly stood to his paws.
Aggro yawned and rubbed her eyes as she stared up at Winger. "I get it, you wanna get an early start on training. Am I right, Winger?" She asked. And he nodded his head in conformation. "That's correct, Aggro."
"But why so early in the morning?" Came Summer's voice, as she trotted up to join the others with Burple, Burn, and Cynder close behind her. "Because it's good to get an early start, and besides, Dak and Leyla... I mean... Burn and Cynder need help with training, and they also need help learning how to use there fire."
