The Hybrids Chapter 2 Blizzards view
Thanks To Leederlee for helping with the Icewing Jade Mountain students. Sleet, Hail, Shiver, Penguin, Frost, Frigid, Evergreen, and Seal belong to her. I'm so happy that this chapter is actually on time. Thanks for everyone's support so far.
Blizzard sat at the entrance of the cave. Has was staring down at the gathering Jade Mountain Icewing students. Blizzard had always wanted to go to Jade Mountain, but his mother didn't think he was ready to meet any Nightwings other than her. But it was his thirteenth hatching day. Every year his mother did something extravagant to keep his mind off his father, and this year, he's going to Jade Mountain.
Blizzard turned and walked down the hall and into his room. He picked up his bag as he went along to his desk. He studied the objects that were laying there. There was a map, enchanted to show weather patterns across Pyrrhia, a snowball that would never melt but could also float and freeze what he commanded it to freeze. There was also a crystal ball that could help enhance his future vision, a severed dragon finger, (huis father's) that could help him go into warm places and he would still feel as if he was in the ice kingdom. Lastly there was an icicle blade and a fallen star. The icicle blade could split into many other deadly blades when he was mad, frightened or in combat, these could float as well. And very last but very not least the fallen star was on a silver chain that hung around his neck that he wore daily. It was enchanted to protect the wearer to be protected from frostbreath and fire. This necklace came in handy when the Icewings his age decided it was time to teach him how to dance. Blizzard was lucky he had made that necklace before they had done that, or else he would have no talons.
As Blizzard put the necklace on and swept everything else he enchanted into his bag, he noticed a small glimmer of a diamond under a scroll. He moved the scroll to see his father's old earring. Seeing it filled him with such hatred and guilt. An idea flashed through Blizzards mind. He smiled to himself before holding it up to eye level and speaking in a quiet whisper.
As he headed out back to the entrance of the cave to join his mother she noticed a small glimmer in his ear. Quickwings froze and spoke to Blizzard.
"Why are you wearing that?" she asked frantically.
"I thought that wearing something that belonged to a first circle Icewing would be a bit intimidating." he replied.
"Yes, but the spell on it…." she trailed off, caught in memories.
"Yes i know, i changed it." Blizzard smiled. Quickwings looked at him surprise in her eyes.
"I knew you were animus, but i didn't know you were powerful enough to over enchant a spell made by the first animus Icewing in centuries! So what's the new spell.?"
"its , when it is worn it will protect the wearers loved ones, friends, basically anyone the wearer cares about." He looked his mother in the eye.
My dear Blizzard, Her mind chimed. Thank you.
"Your welcome." Blizzard said. Blizzard knew that his mother was getting glares and injuries from the Icewings here. Since she was a Nightwing they moved her to the very last circle after Freeze died. Only did his step-father stand up for her. Now she was back up to third circle, but she still was abused by the Icewings. Blizzard looked at the rising sun.
"I should probably go join the rest of the students." Blizzard said, looking down to where they were still gathering. Quickwings looked up at her son, who had inherited his father height.
"Ok, dear Blizzard. Just don't forget to visit me, Snowstorm and your soon to be hatched sibling." Quickwings reminded him.
"I know, I know. Bye Mom!" he called as he raced excitedly down the path that let to the gathering area.
When Blizzard got there, seven heads popped up to stare at him. He listened to their whispering minds.
"Hey Blizzard!" His friends Seal called.
"Hey!" Blizzard called back. Seal was vibrating excitedly. Finally he gave in to his excitement and pointed to his circle necklace.
"I'M THIRD CIRCLE NOW!" he yelped excitedly. Blizzard caught sight of two Icewings entering the clearing. The moon globes illuminating their first circle necklaces. One had a smug look on her face as she looked up at their escort. The other one was glaring around the clearing, her mind chiming about how and who she should intimidate. The one that was glaring caught sight of him and her face scrunched up in disgust.
"WEll, is everyone here?" Their escort said. Everyone shrugged.
"Ok then, Sleet?" he called. "Here!" she called from next to him. He nodded and continued with the roll call. Blizzard learned each of their names in time. The two that came with the escort were named Sleet and Hail. Evergreen was the one that kept staring at his wings, Frigid was a friendly one that wore a sapphire earring, Frost was the one who kept staring at Penguin, he was a nice enough dragon to talk to. Finally the escort ot to his name.
"Blizzard?" he called. "Here." Blizzard replied. So that's that things name. A whisper came from Sleets mind. Now that i know his name my mission might be easier. He noticed out of the corner of his eye that she was staring down at her bracelets. Hm, i wonder why? He thought to himself. He made a mental note to be wary of Sleet. The escort began to speak again.
"Glad you are all here, im Changbai, one of the first students at Jade Mountain. I've decided to help my former teachers with their school.i volunteered to become an Icewing student escort and i will be your history teacher since the old history teacher from when i was in school, retired. Now, we should get going so we can be there before sundown." Changbai smiled at them all before jumping into the air. He hovered above the trees while he made sure we were all hovering beside him. They all began to travel south-east before coming to the Great Ice cliff.
This was the part Blizzard was worried about most. Since he was half Nightwing, the Cliff may not notice that he is part Icewing. He closed his eyes as he flew over the cliff. He felt what felt like a wall of slight heat before he cooled back down. He opened one eye and saw no spear trying to impale him. He opened his other eye and did a flip in the air.
"Whoa, why are you so happy?" Seal asked.
"I made it!" Blizzard cheered so only Seal could hear him. Seal shrugged. Blizzard stared forward at the distant desert.
Jade Mountain, Lynx, I'm coming.
