New chapter is here!

Thank you to everyone who reviewed. I appreciate the support!

"Lynx, wake up!"

Blossom groaned. Who was trying to wake her up this time?

It had better not be Alba again. The BattleWing was always trying to take her place at the top of seventh circle. She rolled over to see who it was. Oh, big surprise. It was Alba.

Blossom let out a puff of frost breath. She rose shook herself off, and turned to Alba "Trying to be the teachers pet again?"

She asked before turning to walk out the door. Today Blossom was going to put a distance between the two of them. She was going to challenge Cold-spell, the bottom dragon of 6th circle.

She'd trade places with him, then she would not have to worry about Alba for a while.

Another BattleWing, Hailstorm, fell into step beside her "Do you know where Walrus is?" She asked the tan-brown BattleWing.

"Yeah, he's over at the Stream."

"Thanks."

"Are you going to challenge Cold-spell today?"

"You bet!"

"Well, good luck!"

Lynx nodded and she set of for the Stream.

When she reached the Stream, she called out "Walrus! I need to talk to you." The head BattleWing had his back to her, but he turned his head.

"What is it?"

"I am challenging Cold-spell."

"You can fight him at noon."

"Great."

"Go train. You're fighting Jewel today."

"Is it a challenge?"

"No. Now go." Walrus dismissed her.

Blossom hurried of to find Jewel.

Jewel was a small bronze dragon with striking blue eyes. She was quick, but not to smart or strong. She didn't need to be. She, like all the other BattleWings, had firescales, frost breath, venom, a barbed tail, fire breath, serrated claws, razor sharp wings, and the ability to breath under water.

The BattleWings lived on an animus created island, out past the northern tip of Pyhrria. They weren't allowed in the Ice kingdom because they would melt every thing. Queen Blizzard visited the island using an animus tunnel, much like the NightWing tunnels.

Blossom found Jewel sitting on a rock, waiting for her.

"Finally!" Jewel sighed when she saw Lynx.

"Yeah. Now let's start training."

The Battle was over quickly, with Blossom as the victor.

They fought again and again. Blossom won. Every. Single. Time. Blossom glanced up at the sun. Thank the moons! It's noon.

"I have to go. I'm challenging Cold-spell." She told Jewel.

"Well, if you loose, I will see you later. If you win, I'll see you around."

"Great. Wish me luck!"

"Good luck!" Jewel called. "Show sixth circle who's boss!"

"I will" Lynx set of for the Stream.

What do I know about Cold-spell? He's got all the BattleWing traits. He's big and strong. Not very quick, though. The few times I've seen him fight, he was always lunging, using his wings for balance. Stay away from his claws. Their his main weapons. The wings are sharp too. With him flailing them about, they could scratch me up badly. Go for the back. The razors of his wings won't be able to get me up there. And he can't claw me. His spiked tail could still get me though. And that barb. Blossom shuddered at the thought, the razors her wings scraping against the stone. Then there's the venom. But he will have a hard time hitting me without spraying himself if I'm on his back. I'll sneak up from behind, and spit venom on his back. I'll also stab his tail with my barb. That should secure victory. If it doesn't, I'll use venom on his eyes, and I'll come in with my claws and wings too.

Blossom reached the Stream and found Walrus and Cold-spell waiting for her. "Are you ready to begin the challenge?" Walrus asked.

"Ready." Lynx replied

"Ready." Cold-spell said.

"You know the rule. Whoever surrenders or is knocked out first, wins. On your mark, get ready, FIGHT!"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Cold-spell slept for her. Lynx sprung over her opponent, landing on his back. She dug her serrated claws into his scales. Cold-spell howled in pain, trying to shake her of, but Blossom held tight. She began to see his black blood seeping from her claw marks. She spit her venom into the open wound. Cold-spell shrieked, falling to the floor. Blossom was just about sting his arm when she saw a ripple of black. It rippled outward, like the bronze when she'd been changed into Lynx. This new change was done now, and a NightWing lay there. She looked at Walrus, and realized he couldn't see the Nightwing.

Blossom stepped back in surprise. A NightWing? How? What? Finish challenge now, question mysterious NightWing later.

Blossom spat venom in his eyes.
