Embershard had just arrived at her dorm. There seemed to be no one in it, so she didn't seem worried. She had just went into the office to get her schedule. She wished she could just leave once and for all. But she had no choice. Tomorrow was the first day of class and she couldn't leave. Not now. Not ever.

Embershard hesitantly stepped inside. She were two hammocks and a mud pit for her to choose to sleep in. She saw that a SkyWing had already settled down on a stone ledge.

The SkyWing glared at her and hissed. "I'm Amber." She hissed. "I just want to tell you not to bother me or speak to me. If you do, you don't know what I'll do to you." She tilted her head slightly to the side. "What are you anyway? A Weird colored SeaWing?"

"I-I-"

"Shut it," Amber interrupted. "I don't want to know anyway. What are you waiting for? GO!"

Embershard trotted away from Amber. She wanted to settle down as far away from Amber as she could. She knew that Amber wouldn't be pleased if she slept near her. She looked around and saw the mud pit. Embershard knew she wouldn't be pleased if she had to sleep in a pit of mud. So she choose the hammock that was set farthest away from Amber.

As Embershard was settling in, she heard voices outside the den. She was just about to check when suddenly a very peppy looking RainWing ran in the den.

"I'm here!" She said, rather loudly. "I can't wait to be in a den with dragons from other tribes!" Her gaze was caught on Amber. "What's you're name?" She asked.

"It's Amber," The SkyWing replied coldly, "Now that you've got your answer, would you mind to stay away from me?"

"Gosh, someone's in a bad mood," The RainWing muttered.

To Embershard's horror, the RainWing claimed the hammock right next to her. Embershard didn't expect the RainWing to sleep in the mud pit, but still. She hadn't talked to any other dragon but her mother and brother. And now she had to sleep next to a RainWing. There was no doubt that the hyper dragon wouldn't talk to her. She surely would.

"What's your name?" The RainWing finally asked.

"I-my name is-" Embershard hesitated. "Embershard. I'm Embershard."

The RainWing's face scrunched up into a confused face. She tapped her talons on her chin thoughtfully, and raised one eye. She waited a bit longer, then asked the quested Embershard had dreaded. "What are you supposed to be?"

Embershard froze, her face unreadable. She couldn't speak. She couldn't move. It felt like she was rooted to the ground, just like a tree, unable to move, speak, or run around. Her heart was racing. What would this RainWing think of her Half-tribe heritage? Would she run away? Would she be fine?

The RainWing cocked her head to the side in confusion, her tail thumping impatiently on the ground. "Do you want to talk about it privately? We could go outside so Amber can't hear." The RainWing suggested.

Embershard nodded. The RainWing pulled her arm, almost making Embershard stumble outside. Once they were far from the den, The RainWing said, "Just so you know, my name is Toucan. So you won't have any trouble explaining to me."

Toucan's eyes gleamed with excitement and curiousity, not even noticing the anxiety and fear the filled Embershard's. "I-I-" Embershard paused for a moment, thinking. What would Toucan do? She seemed very optimistic for a dragon, and she didn't seem to care if she took risks. It would be a horrible loss if Embershard lost the opportunity to make friends with her.

But at the same time, Embershard needed to tell her. She couldn't just walk away anyways, Toucan wouldn't let her.

"Go on," Toucan encouraged. Her voice was soft, but it was clear she was growing impatient.

Embershard took a deep breath and finally spoke with a firm voice. "I'm half NightWing."

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I'm sorry if it's too short, though. I wanted to leave a cliffhanger. And I also apologize for the lack of updates. I've just kinda lost motivation for this story, and I didn't feel like writing it. But I think I'm fine now, and I promise I'll update more frequently in the future.
