The Hybrid Prophecy, Book 1

by frostbiteicewing

My first fan fiction! Watch Scorch and his friends as they fulfill the prophecy that will stop the 30-year war. They will face many dangers and perils as they find hidden powers (there should be no Mary/Gary Sues) and journey through Pyhrria. Rated T to be safe. I do not any of Tui T. Sutherland's characters or writing or anything else.

4. Chapter 2: Should we leave?

Chapter 2

"Wha-wha-how-why?" Scorch sputtered. "Because we need to get away," Komodo hissed and lashed her tail, a scowl on her face. "You know how they treat us," Hurricane sympathized. Phantom watched with an amused, crossed with interested, look. "But, Asha-", Scorch started, but Komodo interrupted him. "Yet when she's gone Kestrel and Dune have their go at us while Hvitur and Webs stand and watch." Asha often was the one to get their prey because shimmering ice blue/silver, deep blue-green, and target red were a lot more noticeable along the dirt-and-rock floor than amber and brown scales. And Dune could not hunt because of the scars ripped along his wings and the stub that replaced his right foreleg.

"We've been stuck in this cave for six years now because of the stupid Talons of Peace. Don't you think it's time for us to stop the war already? We're not two month old dragonets anymore!" Komodo hissed as loud as she could, not wanting their guardians to hear.

"But we are still dragonets! We still have so much to learn!" Scorch said, thinking about his fight with Kestrel.

"We know enough to stop the brutal deaths happening around Pyrrhia!"

"Do we? Do you?!"He countered. Komodo flared her wings and her ruff, turning a dark red-brown, because she only could turn earthy colors, due to being half MudWing. She could also spit lava and normal RainWing venom. Very scary.

"STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" Hurricane yelled, yet miraculously, the older dragons did not hear her. They're probably sleeping.

"Arguing like mini Kestrels will not help us make a decision," she said more calmly. "But voting might."

"What?" Komodo and Scorch said almost simultaneously. "You heard me. We should vote on whether we should leave or not."

"I vote yes!" Komodo said almost immediately.

"Yes." Hurricane said.

"No, no, no!" Scorch said, giving a hopeful look at Phantom. He probably won't say anything, as per usual.

But Phantom gave out a low, rumbled, unexpected, "Yes." Scorch lowered his head. "Well. Then it's settled." Komodo confidently stated.

Three of them jumped as Kestrel's loud, ringing voice spread throughout the system of caves. "HURRICANE! KOMODO! PHANTOM! SCORCH! COME HERE NOW!" Scorch's ears hurt. Komodo turned another violent shade of burgundy. Hurricane sighed and was the first to walk to the center cavern. Phantom silently padded behind them. When they got there, they stopped in one wide row near the doorway.

Their guardians were filed in two lines. Why so official-looking? Scorch thought until he saw who they were lined up for. Hvitur looked at the giant dark dragon, who was even bigger than Kestrel, voice wavering, and announced:

"Dragonets, this is Morrowseer, the one who delivered the prophecy."
