Sorry it took me so long to update this story I'll try to get better that... Thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 2
"I'm so sorry," the voice of the dragon I stumbled into murmurs.
"That's all right…." I start but stop when I catch sight of the dragon in front of me. It was a female Icewing. Her scales shinned like freshly fallen snow and her underbelly looked almost exactly like frost. It shined like too. What caught me most of all was the pale blue snowflakes by her eyes that matched her eyes perfectly.
"No really. I shouldn't have known where I was going. This is so huge and this only my first year…" The Icewing started but I stopped her by saying,
"You'll find your way around soon enough and if you need my help with anything I'll gladly help," I offered.
"Thanks but by the end the week I'll know my way around this place like the back of my claw,"
"Doesn't mean I can't offer,"
"I suppose you're right," the Icewing smiled, "What's your name?"
"Lightning," I answer with slight hesitation. If the Icewing back in my cave could tell that I was an unlucky descendant of the dreadful Scarlet I just didn't want to have the same effect as I had on Chiller.
Than I give a mental knock the head reminding myself you can't always judge a dragon by their tribe. "What's yours?" I ask in return.
"Snowflake," the Icewing answered.
"Well than, I guess I'll see you around, Snowflake," I smile as we part ways.
A little later I find myself in the presence of the all awesome Tide the Seawing. Son of Queen Tsunami and King Riptide. Followed by his all but great "older" brother Blue.
"Hey Tide, hey Blue," I smile as I approach. Blue just me a mean mug while Tide gives me a cheerful smile.
"How you been Lightning! Haven't seen you since summer began, how have you been," Tide asks.
"I've been good. The Skywing School is on its second year now. Mother is so happy that the school's been a success that she's let me and siblings have more free-rein on where we go nowadays."
"Dude, that's awesome. My and my siblings went on the wildest whale hunt a few weeks ago. Of course, Whale himself didn't go being the dragon his is but me, Blue, Dolphin, Wave, Orca, Stingray and 24 of our uncles went along and you wouldn't believe what happened…" as Tide tells the story of the epic whale hunt(turns out it's a royal family tradition) I couldn't help but notice the dragons around me giving me glares this way and that. Ugh, why couldn't they just realize that you can't judge a tribe because of one dragon's action, even if it was an ex-queen. I mean, they did it with Nightwings and that really was the whole tribe so why couldn't they have done the same for us Skywings?
Once Tide is finished, which I did listen to by the way, he realizes what I'm noticing. "Don't worry, they'll all come around just like me and Rattlesnake did last year," he says which would have been reassuring if that hadn't been the only thing he tells whenever I bring the subject.
"I almost forgot, Rattlesnake wants to hunting after he helps his little sister, Oasis, settle in," I tell Tide as soon as I remember.
"Cool. I wonder will find some scavenges like that one dragon did last year," Tide wonders who, by the way, loves scavengers long as no one eats them which is something I would ever do. In fact I'm actually a vegetarian.
"That'd be cool especially if they were the scavengers Queen Sunny has been trying to find for the past 3 years. What were their names again?" I ask.
"Fluffy and Holler," Tide replies. As soon as he says Fatespeaker, Jade Mountain's consoler, comes up to us.
"Hello Tide. Hello Lightning," Fatespeaker smiles. I always liked Fatespeaker aswell as other Nightwings because unlike the other tribes that treat us like dirt the Nightwings treat us almost like royalty. Remember that I said almost.
"Hello Fatespeaker," me and Tide say at the same time causing Fatespeaker to brighten a bit more.
"Have either of you seen Dreamcaller or Sunchaser?"
"No but if I know Dreamcaller she'd be in the cave pool and Sunchaser would be practicing his fighting in the combat cave," Tide answers.
"Why couldn't they had just kept to books?" Fatespeaker wondered aloud before running off to find her children.
"How's the Skywing Tribe going?" Tide asked.
"Fine I guess. The Rainwings have opened up to us finally and the Mudwings are coming around. Same with the Sandwings," Lightning answers as they start they're way to the landing to wait for Rattlesnake.
"That's good. I think your siblings are becoming great influences on the other tribes,"
"What makes you say that?"
"Well, my mother might or might not have started liking your sister Red after she beat Orca in a combat fight,"
"Why does your mother like my sister because she beat her daughter?"
"Because many don't try their best when they fight Orca since she's next in line to the throne but, Mother told me, Red gave it her all and beat my older sister like the dragon she is,"
"I'm not sure who likes the fact someone beat your sister. Queen Tsunami or you,"
"Hey, I'm sorry if I'm glad my sister is no longer boasting about how great she is because she's never lost a fight."
"Oh that's great because that means the next time I go over to your house I won't have her nagging at me about that," Lightning sighs. Orca was a nice dragon but sometimes she needs a dragon to bring down to size which I'm it was my sister who did that so the Skywings won't be getting thrown down by the time Orca becomes becomes Queen. At least that's what I hope.
"What Winglet are you in this year?" Tide asks.
"Garnet, you?"
"Copper. Who are your clawmates this year?"
"I only got one this year and it's an Icewing named Chiller,"
"Oh I heard of that guy. Wave had him in her winglet last year and there was nothing kind about him,"
"They don't call him Chiller for nothing. Who's your clawmate?"
"A Nightwing named Cloudjump. He's actually a cool guy and his jokes are hilarious."
"I wish I had your clawmate."
"I don't wish the same," Tide answers.
"Don't wish what?" a new voice asks. We turn around to the one, the only….
