Blaze packed quickly, grabbing everything in her room. She had not one but three trunks sitting along the wall, overflowing with jewels and accessories. She wasn't even bothering to go through any of it, and her room was turning into a disaster scene until her father walked in. King Char barely made it through the door of Blaze's room before he was forced to stop by heaps of scarves and feather decor. He saw Blaze in one corner, headfirst into the laundry chute, tossing up multitudes of hoods, capes, scarves and jeweled rings. Char sighed.
"Hi Father!" called the muffled voice of Blaze. "Um… I'm a little stuck. Any help?" Char just groaned. It was going to be a long day.
Blister, unlike Blaze, was a very efficient packer. The night before she had made a list of everything she would need, and was neatly placing the items in a bag. She looked at the now completed list, tapping her talons on the sand-covered stone floor as she tried to remember what else she might need. She gazed out the window, watching as the guards on the sand far below arm wrestled. Then she sat straight up and almost panicked.
"Oh moons, I almost forgot jewelry!" She frantically ran over to her closet and yanked open the doors. All her jewelry, which she didn't have much of, hung from a hook in a bag in the back of the closet. Blister was glad that she was so organized. It seriously came in handy sometimes. She exhaled, calming down. Blister noticed the group of dragons she was going with to school, SandIce Academy, had gathered in the courtyard. Smiling, she grabbed her bag and raced out of her room.
Burn stomped down the stairs toward the courtyard. She did not want to go to school. Whose stupid idea was it anyway? Her blood red bag caught on a stone, and she pulled it loose, almost ripping a hole. Dumb bag. A messenger was coming up the stairs, on his way to the dining hall, and Burn just shoved him aside. Idiot. When she finally got to the courtyard, she had shoved approximately five dragons, ripped two holes in her bag and kicked one rock. All in all, she thought it was a great start to the day.
Blaze
When they finally arrived at SandIce Academy later that day, Blaze was exhausted. The school was in the foothills near the Ice Kingdom, but it was a fairly long distance from the palace. She almost crashed when they landed, with Burn rolling her eyes and laughing and Blister helping her up. She glared at Burn before heading into the school. The school was a humongous hollowed-out hill, and was rumored to have been built partly with animus magic. Blaze wandered into the entrance hall, looking for a sign saying Sand Dorms. The minute she walked in, she stood stock-still.
The room was HUGE. It had a stone stage at one end, giant wooden support beams, and tapestries of many colors. It had to be at least ten wingspans across each wall. Ivy hung from the ceiling, as well as hundreds of different plants. Lit by skylights and strange white lights, the room had an airy feel to it, like Blaze was in the sky flying instead of inside. Blaze finally spotted the Sand Dorms sign, which hung from a post above a cave tunnel. Darting over, she saw that the dragons who had carried her trunks must have already made it to the dorms, for the three trunks she had packed sat outside one of the doorways in the tunnel. Blaze made her way to the trunks, and found they sat at a door labeled Princess Blaze and Cactus Blossom. Shrugging, Blaze walked inside. The first room was a room obviously for sitting around, since it was filled with pillows and shelves of scrolls. The walls were sky blue and the floor was sandy yellow and covered in warm sand. On the other side of the small room were two doorways, each labeled with a name. Blaze's door was the one on the left, so she hauled her trunks into the left room. After dragging the trunks in, she took her first glimpse at her new room. It was around the size of the sitting room, and similarly decorated. The walls and floor were the same, and they were both lit by white-orange lights that felt warm on Blaze's wings. But in her room there was a bed-looking pile of blankets and a shelving unit that was completely empty. Grabbing her trunk, she began to unpack.
Hello! Chapter two is now out if you are reading this. Sorry that it's a little short, but I'm gonna try and make all the next chapters the same length or longer. And to Lemondrops334 (I hope I got the numbers right), Thanks! Also, yes, I have read all the Wings of Fire books, Legends and Winglets included! And I originally meant for this to fit into the actual series, although with the age of Blaze it's different. So… Yeah, it's like an alternate timeline. Although it's gonna 'explain' some of the alliances. Anyway, the sisters will have some de-development. To get the way they were in books one to five.
Thanks,
Winter Kitty
