The Hybrids, Lynx's view
Lynx shook her head, clearing a vision about her and her soon-to-be best friend from her mind.
"Tonight!"she exclaimed, running into her room to grab her scrolls. "It's his birthday!" she ran back out of the room to grab a camel skinned bag, a gift from her mother, before running back into her room. Lynx franticly searched around before sighing and saying quietly,
"All objects enchanted by me come to where I am sitting now," at the last word she jumped out of the way. Jewelry, inkwells, and scrolls flew to where she was sitting the second before. Lynx rummaged through the pile pulling out a tail band, four earrings, three armbands, a neckband, and necklace. She stuffed everything else in the pile into the bag. She picked up her chosen objects and put them on. She looked in her small mirror hanging on her wall. She studied her strange look. She was icy white with black spikes and her wings faded to a dark navy blue. Silver starlight scales shimmered under her wings. Black Sparkling diamonds went from the corner of her eyes down her neck. She looked into her own eyes through the mirror; they were the strangest for any kind of hybrid. They were green, not just green, green with flicks of silver and steel gray.
A Small Rainwing swaggered into her room.
"Hey there, where are you going?" he said smoothly, staring at her over packed bag.
"Nowhere yet." She snapped back. Lynx hated Sloth. But he was fond of her, and never left her alone. He was always badgering her about when she would meet him for a dagger wielding lesson. Lynx always would answer never. Sloth's talon twitched towards her bag. Lynx glared at him. She knew Sloth knew what was in there. He knew there were animus treasures in his reach. Sloth, all of a sudden lunged for her bag. Lynx grabbed one of her many daggers and threw it at where he was about to be. Sloth stoped and flared out his wings. He changed to an angry red, the silver scales under his wings reflecting the sunlight.
"Hey! I' m going to tell my mother about this!" He growled angrily.
"Then go ahead and tell her." Lynx wasn't afraid of what Queen Glory would say. The Queen would probably laugh and say he deserved it for what he did. Sloth always stole anything precious from anyone. No one was ever able to catch him except Lynx herself. The queen would believe her words over her son's any day. So it wasn't the queen she was afraid of, it was her mate. Deathbringer. He would tear her to shreds if he thought she hurt his little prince.
"Now, now, no fighting. Lynx your mothers here to see you."
Lynx's head shot up when her uncle said this.
"Uncle, please don't let Sloth take anything." Lynx said hurriedly before dashing out into the main room and flinging her wings around her mother
"Lynx dear, how are you?" her mother asked
"Still wanting to come back to the Ice Kingdom with you." Lynx replied. Her mothers face darkened
"You know why I can't take you there. It's too dangerous." Her mother said gravely
Lynx knew exactly why. The royal family was desperate to have animus power back in their bloodline. Even if it meant using one of their past gifts, forbidden ones.
"Can I at least attend Jade Mountain this year?" Lynx begged her mother. Her mother sighed before smiling. "Ok, you can go this year." My plan worked! Lynx's mind chimed. Lynx knew her mother would never let her go somewhere where full-blooded Icewing's roamed. But when Lynx asked for something she knew never would be possible, she knew her mother would settle for something less dangerous.
"Ha-ha you'll never catch me!" Sloth came running out of her room with Lynx's uncle chasing him. Sloth's talon's held some of her decoy animus object that had very simple spells on them such as, when this piece of silver touches a gemstone, the gemstone shall crumble to dust. That simple spell was something Lynx knew would mess with Sloth.
"Those aren't yours you little thief!" Lynx's uncle yelled. Lynx and her mother shared a look before laughing. Maybe my life isn't that bad at all. Lynx thought.
