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.

24. Ch 21: the break-up

Chapter 21

Scorch took one last look at Raptor. She gave up herself for me…He felt Asha's large talons wrap around his shoulders and drag him off. The SkyWing general tore into the ranks, knocking most out of the air if she could, shredding if she had to. She still cares…

"Scorch! Scorch!" A thinner, more colorful talon smacked him back into reality, Komodo's of course. He started to fly faster and caught up at the front where the rest of the SkyWing part of the group was. "What about the rest of the guardians?!" Hurricane's voice shouted among the chaos.

Asha shook her head. "I don't know where they are! We might not have time!" She finished with a pained look. Everyone knew it was a MudWing habit to care for others. Asha must have been a bigwings. She sacrificed herself for us, not even her real children or brothers.

All of them did. Dune, Kestrel, Webs, my mother…Just for this war…So much hope in us. Will we finish this? Will we be able to do it? Not if we don't escape RIGHT NOW, Komodo's voice snapped in his imagination.

Angel looked thoughtful for a moment. "I'll do it."

"What?" Shimmer asked.

"I'll save them. It's my duty. I've done it plenty of times before."

Scorch felt something in his chest tighten. "Are you sure?"

She nodded, then stopped mid-flight, about to change direction. "Not alone, you aren't!" Minerva flew to where Angel was. "Just because you have new powers, doesn't mean you're invincible! I'm coming with! I also know the underground levels!"

Angel firmly nodded again and together they flew off. "See you again sometime!"

The rest kept flapping, as not to waste precious time. "I should go too…" Shimmer said, clearly not wanting to abandon her friend. Scorch saw Phantom falter for a moment out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh no you don't. You are a Dragonet of Destiny. You might not have been once, but now, you must be a part of the team. Pyhrria depends upon it. You stay with us." Asha commanded. Shimmer sighed and gave a resigned look.

Phantom scanned the horizon. I see water in the distance. We're almost out of the SkyWing kingdom."
