When I was finally let out of the hospital cave, I was convinced it was a vision. The young dragon- she looked so troubled. I couldn't help feeling sorry for her. She was definitely an old student here. I made a note to ask Sunny about it later. Or maybe Kinkajou. She might know who the NightWing was since she's a RainWing, and Kinkajou's either older or the same age as the dragonet, I should think.
I wrapped myself in my blankets, and huddled up until I was cosy, and I looked down at a blank scroll. I had my homework to work on. After finishing Webs' tasks, I rolled over, groaned, and was hurtled into another vision. I looked down at the small, black dragon from my last vision, talking with a pink and yellow happy bouncy talkative dragonet! It's Kinkajou! I knew that she must be a part of this.
My vision was once again rather short, so it wasn't soon before I was under the blankets, clutching my head, for I had a throbbing headache. After a while, I heard Heliamphora come to sit beside my bed. Then Harp came in, and I heard muffled whispers, as they had a quiet conversation, obviously about me. I ignored them, and decided to go to sleep. But sleep never came. So it was in the middle of the night, and Heli was snoring, and Harp was muttering, and the noise inside my head was greater than ever. The students' minds were almost as busy at night as they were in the day.
Pig. Cow. Crocodile. Pheasant. Fooooooood.
Laleelalaaa. Butterflies everywhere! Coconuts, and flowers! I love it here! Sooo much better than that stinky, sulphorous, hot, lava-ry volcanic island we used to be on.
Another party. Really, Queen Ruby's daughter is even worse than her! No Mother, I mean that in a fond way, not a mean way! But you must admit, Cloud is a party addict.
Hi! Boy, I love it here! with all the HiveWings, SilkWings, and LeafWings FINALLY living in unity.

Aaaaaww! Look at all Snowflake's pups, Mom! Aren't baby seals sooo cute?!
Wow. Dis id 'o goog. I wuuuv bamarmug. An' dum dime. (Translation: Wow. This is so good. I love bananas. And sun time.)
I wish I was sleeping as deeply as my fellow dragons. I wish. . .I hardly know were to start wishing. But I know that there is one dragon that I can confide in. So I get out of bed, and tiptoe down dark hallways, listening to my head.
Until finally, I can't believe she loves me. God, what has come over you, little butterfly. But I'm going out with her tomorrow. I know, I know. Don't get your hopes up. But I liked her the moment I saw. She's a good dragon. . .right? Yeah.
Icaricia. The name echoes in my mind, bouncing against the walls of my brain. I peer into one last cave, and there, lit up by the light of two full moons, is a small blue dragon, with waves of it, over lapping each other. "My love," I call out softly. She twitches her ears. She's awake. "Icaricia. It's me Bluemoon." I creep into the cave, making sure not to wake up her roomies.
I kneel down next to her bed, and she slides over, making room for me. I awkwardly slide in. She huddles up to me, the warm curve of her body against mine. "i was wondering. . ." Icaricia tries to say.
"I know," I reply, because I do.
She mumbles something indecipherable. I wish she could stay here all night, she thinks.
"Want me to stay here? All night?"
"Yes please! Oh, um, sure if you want."
i smile knowingly, peck her on the cheek, and wrap my arms around her. Then, slowly, I finally drift into sleep.
