HELLO EVERYBODY! I am SO sorry that I haven't been able to write all that much, but my summer's been really busy. That and I had writer's block, so yeah. Go figure.
Clementine Muse: OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE QUEEN GLORY IS LETTING MIST COME TO SCHOOL WITH ME! XD
Me: Le sigh…
Glory Muse: I can't believe it either. And could someone explain why I'm trusting a stupid, idiot, unknown SeaWing with my daughter's protection?!
Me: Hush, hush, Glory. Furytalon has amnesia, and also he knows who Mist is. ALL IS WELL!
Mist Muse: That's right, Mother! He's good, kind, trustworthy…
Furytalon Muse: Wh-what's happening…? *Blush*
Me: *Evil Grin* Face it, Glory. SHE'S IN-
Glory Muse: O.e I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY, DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!
Me: But…
Glory Muse: SHUT UUUUUUPPP! DISCLAIMER! NOW!
Me: Okay, okay… sheesh, who are you, Tsunami?
I don't own Wings of Fire! It is owned by the amazing Tui T. Sutherland!

Mist stared up as the morning stars began to lose their faint glow. Ever since she was born, the RainWing princess had felt a strange connection with the night sky. She had always assumed that was because she was half-NightWing, but know that she knew she was a MistWing… I wonder if Mother knew anything about this… Morning Mist wondered as she continued to bathe in the now fading moonlight. Laying her head down onto her talons, Mist felt a peaceful sensation wash over her. Suddenly, just as the sun was beginning to rise, Morning Mist began to sing. The notes simply felt… right. Almost as if unseen talons were guiding her voice as she sang out the notes. There were no words, but Mist understood the meaning of the song almost as if there were.
"Mmmph… Miiist… quiet down…" The princess' sleepy friend mumbled. Ha-ha! Oh, silly Clementine, always so energetic except when you're asleep. However, Morning Mist kept on singing until she knew she had reached the last note. Suddenly, the air around the clearing was filled with swirling mist, glittering like stars in the morning light. The RainWing princess looked on in awe, as the mist swirled over to her, and was absorbed by her scales. Morning Mist blinked down at her scales. What was THAT about? She wondered. One by one, the traveling dragons each woke up, with Furytalon being the last.
"Is everyone awake?" Deathbringer asked, glancing around at the yawning dragonets. He nodded to himself. "Then let's go." Everyone nodded in unison, and the small wing of dragons lifted into the air, with Morning Mist trailing behind, lost in her own thoughts. Furytalon gave a start and swerved back to fly alongside her. Mist glanced at him and smiled softly. He returned her smile with a worried expression.
"Are you alright, princess of the MistWings?" He asked. Morning Mist sighed and gave him a hard stare. We aren't supposed to let anyone know I'm the MistWing, you idiot! Furytalon looked a little shocked and then hit himself with his front talon. "Sorry," He apologized. "It's just… I don't even know your name yet." Furytalon spread his wings in a hopeless gesture, and Mist smiled.
"That's alright," She giggled. "I suppose it's my fault for not introducing myself. My name is Morning Mist, although most dragons call me Mist." She grinned while attempting to bow mid-flight. Furytalon laughed.
"Mist. I like it! The name suits you, considering…" Furytalon clamped his talons over his mouth and ducked his head. "Sorry…" He mumbled while Mist laughed.
Three days had passed since the four dragons had left for Jade Mountain Academy, and Mist was feeling more and more peaceful with each passing night she spent bathing in the moonlight. I wonder if we'll get to the Academy soon. She mused, thinking about how much she missed the night sounds of the rainforest. All of a sudden, Clementine barreled into her.
"Hey Mist! I don't know what it is, but I think you've been singing in your sleep ever since we left the rainforest. And also, I've notice you and that SeaWing are getting AWFULLY close~!" Clementine giggled, nudging Mist's shoulder. Mist blushed and looked down.
"Oh don't you even start up with that." She mumbled, blushing. "Furytalon is just a friend… that's all." At this, Clementine grinned a toothy grin.
"THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY!" She thundered dramatically, trying desperately not to break down in giggles. Morning Mist laughed, and then immediately sighed.
"Both of you, quiet down!" Deathbringer demanded, although he was smiling. "We're here." Mist looked up and gasped in awe as she saw Jade Mountain academy for the first time. The tall, colossal mountain was so beautiful… And something about the sky made Mist's wings tremble, as if someone was telling her to just fly up into it. A lone dragon awaited them on the landing towards the entrance of the Academy. A dragon with golden scales… that must be Sunny. And, indeed, as the quadruplet of dragons swirled down to land, Sunny greeted them with a humongous smile.
"Hey there, Deathbringer! Clementine, it's very nice to meet you." Sunny smiled extending a talon for Clementine to shake. Clementine bounced up and took Sunny's talons in hers.
"This place is just AMAZING! I can't believe that I'm gonna come to school here and what are the classes and these are two of my friends and OH MY GOSH I'M SO EXCITED!" Clementine squealed, bouncing up and down. Deathbringer sighed and just shook his head. He then gestured a wing towards Mist and Furytalon. Mist found herself edging closer to Furytalon and flinched. Stupid, stupid, stupid! She scolded herself. What'll Mother say if she realizes I'm falling for a SeaWing?!
"This is my daughter, Morning Mist. And this is the SeaWing that Glory no doubt told you about, Furytalon." Deathbringer explained as Sunny looked on with a puzzled expression. Once Deathbringer had explained, she immediately smiled and walked over to Mist.
"It's so nice to meet you! I still can't believe Glory had an egg, but it's nice to meet you nonetheless." Sunny grinned, and Mist couldn't help but feel uplifted by the older dragon. "Lucky for you," Sunny continued. "We just expanded the school, so there should be enough room for the two of you to share a cave with some of our other new dragons!" Sunny giggled and winked at Mist. Does Sunny know how I feel about Furytalon? But how?! Well, at least she isn't putting me in there with him alone…
"That's very kind of you, thank you." Furytalon smiled, bowing to Sunny. When Sunny tilted her head, he realized her confusion, and quickly stood up. "S-sorry" He mumbled. "I just thought… seeing as how you're the daughter of Thorn…" Furytalon quickly let out a cough as Mist stepped on his foot. Stop while you're ahead… She thought desperately. To her surprise, Furytalon glanced at her and gave the smallest of nods.
"Alright then!" Sunny laughed. "Let's show you to your caves, shall we?"
…
"Are you trying to start something here, fish-breath?" Their IceWing clawmate snarled, flexing her rigid claws. Furytalon snarled and blocked the hostile IceWing's view of Mist as he snarled right back.
"I'm not if you aren't" He snarled back, curling his webbed talons and stepping forward with a hiss. "This is our cave too, you know." The IceWing looked startled, then glanced at Mist, who was cowering behind Furytalon. Something seems wrong about this dragon… Mist realized. The same something that had been with her since she had left the rainforest was screaming at her that this dragon was dangerous, but then, the IceWing relaxed.
"Oh, I see now. You two are my clawmates as well. Hey, Ember, come take a look at our new clawmates!" The IceWing shouted over her shoulder. A timid looking SkyWing poked her head out of the cave, made an "eep!" noise, and then disappeared again.
"Don't let them hurt me, Crystal!" The tiny SkyWing whimpered. Mist tilted her head. That SkyWing must be afraid of Furytalon. She thought. As if on cue, Furytalon glanced at her and relaxed.
"It's alright. We aren't going to hurt you. Don't run away." He explained soothingly. Ember poked her head out again, then stepped out into the light.
"B-but… aren't you a SeaWing? Aren't you mad at us because we destroyed the SeaWing Summer Palace?" Ember asked, her talons twitching in nervous circles. Furytalon shook his head.
"No, should I be?" He scratched his head, confused. "I must confess, I don't really remember anything before waking up in the rainforest." Ember and Crystal both looked startled by this.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, hold on. You're telling us that you have amnesia?" Crystal asked, clearly shocked. She scratched her neck. "Well, that would explain some things. Like how you seem totally attached to that RainWing-NightWing hybrid behind you." Mist drew in a quick breath. Am I that obvious? She wondered, as she and Furytalon both blushed. Ember giggled.
"Well, at least now I know I can trust you!" She smiled. "It's been kind of a long time since I had a FRIENDLY conversation with a SeaWing. Mostly they just snarl and snap and try to kill me." All of the dragonets laughed, and Mist felt like, for the first time, that she would no longer have to hide from other dragons. Little did she know, that the terror of dragon's nightmares was just beginning…
