Chapter 1
WildFire
The sight and smell of the jungle overwhelmed her. The fact that it was to be her new home stunned her. "Mother, I have to live here?" Wildfire looked up at Peregrine, whoes red scales sparkled like rubies in the sunlight. "Well, you are half NightWing and they live here. So will you." Her amber eyes twinkled slightly. Wildfire sighed and nudged her mother dragon softly. "I don't want you to go." She whispered. Peregrine sighed, watching two parrots squabbling for food. "I'm not done with my business in the Scorpion Den. Besides, you can't go to the Sky Kingdom after what I've done with you." Peregrine withdrew her warm wing from Wildfire's scales. "Mother! Please! I don't even want to go to the Sky Kingdom.
I want to head back to the Scorpion Den with you! I miss Mamba anyway." Wildfire turned back to the tunnel that led to the Sand Kingdom. Peregrine turned her daughter around facing the unknown of the rainforest. "Final Answer, you stay here." Peregrine growled deeply. Wildfire knew she had to give it up. SkyWings were rock hard in their ways and were persistent about what they wanted others or themselves to do. There was no way Wildfire could fight back.
"Fine, I'll be here, but visit sometime." Wildfire looked at the red and black of her arms. "Duh. Did you think I was gonna abandon you like a brain-dead raccoon? You better hope not." Peregrine snorted and flared her golden wings. "Don't worry about me, I'm a war veteran, if I can kill a few pesky warriors, then I'll survive. You stay with your fellow NightWings. Besides, you know I couldn't live here. I'm no NightWing or RainWing." The she-dragon glanced up at the endless blue of the sky. "But I'm a SkyWing too. I'm forever loyal to the wind and the clouds, not shadows and gloomy swamp trees." Wildfire lifted her head high like Peregrine used to do when telling her old SkyWing stories. "You know what they say, think on the bright side." Peregrine leaped into the air and vanished like a fiery comet.
Wildfire felt as important as pond scum. She looked down and imagined a rocky palace curving around a mountain with orange and red shapes whooshing around it. This was the Sky Palace, the place Wildfire had seen in her dreams. How do I know about it when I've never seen the place before? Well, Mother said NightWings can hatch with powers in full moonlight. Or maybe I have a broad imagination. WildFire began her trek into the wilderness, light flooding through the treetops. Mud burbled mournfully as toads croaked. This was like a swamp.
Like the place MudWings lived in. Wildfire wanted to soar and dive playfully, but if she flew up, it was more likely she would get shot with a sleep dart. This is the home of the RainWings. I mean RainWings and NightWings. Do they still have one queen or were the NightWings allowed to have their own? Do the dragonets there bite your tail and beg you for food? Do the NightWings suspect you for every little thing? Do they nag you about how scrolls lie and NightWings do have powers? Because some do. When they are hatched under at least one full moon. Will those NightWings dare me to attack a sloth that lives near by? Will the owner kill me for trying to kill their pet? Wildfire felt like screaming as her brain was overcrowding with thoughts. No! I can't do this no more! AAAHHHH! Wildfire splashed a wave of mud across a confused frog. It made an upset blurrbit and hopped away.
The young dragon stared at it's webbed footprints. Please don't rain. I need to get there fast. Sizzling dune lizards, I'm starving, but not for bog food. Wildfire stamped impatiently. Mother's Skywing attitude is getting to me now. Wildfire trudged on unhappily towards the villages.
