Hello, readers! I would like to thank you for your support. As I believe I have said before, I accept constructive criticism. That doesn't mean that you can post flames. Thank you. Please review!


Turquoise gripped harder on the stone formation. Her claws scraped lightly on the wet, smooth rock and Nish turned around and glared in the direction the noise came from. She held her breath, careful not to slip and give away her position. She reached down with her long, prehensile tail and wrapped it around a loose stone on the ground. She made sure Nish was looking at the ceiling, where the noise had come from, before throwing it to the other side of the room. Nish whipped around and charged at the empty space. Turquoise stifled a giggle. That had been way too easy. She slithered to the ground and snuck up behind Nish, who was still looking for her where the rock had landed. Turquoise stood on her hind legs and raised her claws. She opened her jaw in a menacing snarl and stretched her wings open. Her tail reached forward and tapped Nish's shoulder. Her growled and turned around. As he did, Turquoise suddenly became visible. She roared and Nish's eyes widened in fright. "Agh!" he cried out, scrambling away from the terrifying monster. He bolted to the opposite side of the cave and cowered behind another rock formation. Turquoise fell and rolled on the ground with laughter. Nish cocked his head in bewilderment, then realized that the monster had been Turquoise. "Rrrrrr!" he growled. "Turquoise! That wasn't funny!" he wailed. "Glory! She cheated! Aren't you gonna do something?!" he demanded. Glory grinned.

"It's not cheating, Nish. She can use her abilities in training just like you can." Nish scowled and stomped away, hissing. Turquoise was still laughing, but she had seen the whole thing. Glory had acted like a mother. The way she handled the two, troublesome dragonets…Turquoise could see it in her eyes. Glory must have a child! Turquoise decided. Should I ask her? She wondered. Nah. It's none of my business. She thought. Oh, but I would really want to meet another dragonet! Turquoise struggled with her decision, and Glory could see it. "Turquoise?" she called. "Are you feeling okay?" Turquoise nodded.

"Yeah." Now or never, she told herself. She took a deep breath and faced Glory, the queen of the RainWings. "Do you…Did you ever have…A child?" Glory's eyes widened in surprise.

"Y-yes." She stammered. "How did you know?"

"You're so fond of us. You treat us like a mother treats her dragonets. I could see it in your eyes when you talked to me about training. Plus, you're always so proud of us when we accomplish stuff." She paused, thinking of a better way to word that. "Well, Sunny and Clay seem proud of us too. But you're proud of us in the way that a mother is proud when her dragonet catches its first prey." Glory smiled.

"You're very intelligent." Glory smiled. Turquoise beamed proudly.

"Who is you child?" Turquoise asked. Glory tapped her talons against the floor thoughtfully.

"I won't tell you much…that can be done later." Glory said. "Well," she began, "When I was still part o the prophecy, I met a dragon named Deathbringer."

"Oh, that's creepy." Turquoise shivered. She remembered that she was supposed to be listened and quickly shut her jaws.

"Yes, that's what I thought when I heard his name, too." Glory said. "Anyway, he's a NightWing, and he had been sent to kill me because I had been the mistake. But he didn't kill me. In fact, he saved me." Glory said. Turquoise smiled thoughtfully. "Well, after the war was over and everything, we stayed together. Eventually, we had a dragonet." There's another NightWing and RainWing mix out there! Turquoise thought happily.

"What's her name?" Turquoise asked.

"Her name is Exotic." Glory replied. Exotic, Turquoise thought, I'll have to remember that. Glory tapped Turquoise's shoulder and nudged her to her feet. "Why don't you go get your friend and practice training with Sunny."

"We both know that Nish hates training with Sunny. She only teaches us healing. I'm the only one who cares. Can't he train with Clay?" Turquoise wondered. She wanted her friend to have fun and not feel forced to train.

"Well…" Glory said thoughtfully. "I guess so."

"Yes!" Turquoise bounced away to tell her friend. As she left, Glory saw Exotic instead of Turquoise.

"Don't worry," Glory mumbled. "I'll come back for you soon." She promised her daughter.
