Frost and Evergreen belong to Leederlee
Lynx stood in the library, fixing the damage Sloth had caused. It was quiet and peaceful there, it was nice.
It was the day before the Darkest night And Lynx was ecstatic. She wanted to learn everything she could. She wanted to be the first to publish a modern scroll about the darkest night.
The thought of that alone excited her, she wanted nothing more than to write. That's why she liked scrolls.
She lifted the basket of scrolls she had volunteered to put away for Starflight when Riptide, the assistant headmaster, came in.
Lynx watched him as she headed over to the Shelf for this certain basket Starflight had already organized.
"Starflight?" Riptide began. "I was told miss Lynx Glaze was in here? Can i speak with her?"
Lynx froze and nearly dropped the basket that she was holding.
"Yes! Lynx is here. She's been helping with the Mess Sloth made. Since he never shows up." Starflight responded.
Lynx quietly made her way to the shelf and began putting scrolls in their spots.
What did i do! What did i do wrong!? Is my mom here to visit? Or My uncle? No, i must have done something!
Lynx's thought ran a mile a second. Her talons shook as she put each scroll on it's shelf.
"Lynx? Can you come here?" Starflights call echoed around the library.
Lynx dropped the scroll she was holding. The clatter of the metal ends hitting stone echoed and Lynx hurriedly picked it up.
"Sorry! um...Yes! I'll be right there!" Lynx called back.
She began to walk towards The front desk and stared at her talons as she got closer.
"There you are!" Starflight exclaimed.
"Yeah...i was putting away scrolls, like i said i was earlier." She stuttered, nervous about why the Assistant headmaster wanted to see her.
"No need to be nervous Lynx! Tsunami and i just wanted to compliment you on the lanter you painted, and your decorations for the library...and we wanted to ask if you and a few others would like to decorate the rest of the school for tomorrow." Riptide asked Lynx.
Lynx's jaw dropped. They had noticed her art.
"It's okay if you don't want-." Riptide began.
Lynx cut him off by jumping and wrapping her wings around his neck.
"Of course i'll do it!" She yelled happily.
She let go of Riptide and hopped excitedly, her eyes bright.
Riptide smiled.
"Great! Here's a pass for you and four other dragons you choose to help." Riptide handed her a scroll on a string long enough so she could hang it around her neck.
"Thank you!" She said happily. She looked at Starflight.
"It's okay," the Blind librarian told her. "The scrolls can be taken care of another day."
Lynx smiled and thanked him to before dashing out of the library, hearing both the teachers telling her not to run.
"Me?" Ember asked. "Yup, you Blizzard, Evergreen, and Frost can all come and help!" Lynx exclaimed happily.
Ember reached up to her shoulder and pet the Macaw on the head, thinking for a moment.
"Okay!" She said excitedly. Together the two friends looked for the other three.
"I can't believe you got asked to decorate!" Frost squealed excitedly, hugging her half-sister tightly.
"Thats cool!" Evergreen smiled. Evergreen Glanced at Blizzard with a smile.
Lynx smiled.
"The only thing that could have made helping you any better was if Penguin was here." Frost pouted, letting Lynx go.
"You two are so cute." Lynx teased, nudging Frost with one of her wings.
Together the group of five dragonets searched for their first place to decorate.
They decided on the Main cave first, covering it in little eyes sized paper lanterns and beads of strung glass that were multicolored and shimmered at any little bit of light, but glowed faintly in the dark.
Then the Meal cave, which they covered in the same threaded glass beads, threading them up on the roof, making them look like stars, using the open end of the cave to their advantage.
The library was decorated the same way.
The cave hall was strung up with all the students lanterns hanging in the entrance of their cave, and evening primroses hung in between.
They went on and on, using the same theme, stars and the rainbow glass beads.
Soon, the entire school was covered in flowers, glass beads and lanterns.
Lynx stood proudly, staring at the work that she and her friends had done.
"Wow!"
"So pretty!"
"Beautiful!"
She heard dragons gasp and stare and awe at the decorations.
They haven't seen anything yet! Lynx thought. She looked at Blizzard who nodded, understanding. she quickly explained her plan to Ember, Evergreen and Frost.
The five dragons ran out, Ember in the middle. Frost and Evergreen shot frost breath into the air, Blizzard and Lynx doing the same.
Ember blew fire at the ice and i melted. Embers macaw flew up and flapped, sending the water everywhere, making all the glass and water look like they were shimmering.
More 'oohs' and 'ahhhs' sounded from the growing crowd.
"Happy day before the Darkest night!" Blizzard called with enthusiasm, throwing his wings open.
There were cheers and Lynx had never felt happier. She belonged with her friends, she knew that for sure.
She was glad to be at Jade mountain.
Somewhere in the Ice kingdom…..
Fox sat on her new throne, a twisted icicle crown on her head. She was now queen. She head her head high.
Her fiance, Thaw (who was also her war commander.) came in, holding a scroll.
"A message for you my lady." Thaw bowed deeply before presenting her the scroll.
Fox grabbed it and quickly opened it, reading it.
A smile formed on her delicate face and a mischievous glint shown in her eyes.
"It's about the mission. They strike tomorrow."
Dun Dun Duuuhhhnnn!
Thought i should include another ice kingdom scene. Just for suspense.
I tried a slightly different writing style for this chapter, and i kinda like it...what do you guys think?
Also thanks to Moonshadow for that tip. I was losing more and more interest in the story, and i still kinda am. But i'm gonna keep up! Because i remember how much i loved this story when i first started it and it made me happy.
I also think this might be the longest chapter...if not at least the second longest…..
As always, if you have any questions, suggestions or tips let me know!
