Spectro heard a rustling in the grass. He sprang towards a tree, hoping to get away. A large Skywing dragonet stumbled out, snorting at bushes and scraping up dirt. He looked annoyed, judging from the cross look on his face. The dragonet sat on a stump, just a few feet from a hiding Rainwing. He had managed to cling to the tree with his tail, and now he was a full grey. Thankfully the tree was as well and Spectro was perfectly hidden. "Why do I have to be the forgotten one?" He muttered, kicking up dust. Spectro stared at him, his eyes glowing like amber. This dragonet, shining orange like his eyes, seemed... Different. His wings especially. They were smaller than a normal Skywing's. They also seemed lighter and sharper than one's. he also seemed cooler than a normal dragon. It was as if he had a cooler fire.
Spectro ducked suddenly when a jet of fire hit the tree above him. It went out quickly when the dragon bat his wings at it. "Well... I'll show them! I'm just as important as my loser brother Jetstream!" He whipped his tail around angrily. It was long and powerful, like a Seawing's, and it hit Spectro's tree. He scrabbled the trunk briefly but he fell. His wings turned a frightened yellow and he caught the only thing on hand: the dragonet's tail.
The orange dragon yelped as Spectro's prickly claws held onto the end. It swung around, holding the Rainwing in front of the angry Skywing. It looked suddenly curious. "Are you a Rainwing?" He asked.
"Umm..." Spectro trailed off awkwardly under the dragonet's gaze, "Yeah..." The Skywing's voice grew cold.
"You're here from my brother, right? You came to see me because he never would. I bet you guys are best friends, because I never had one!" He shook the tail a couple of times, dislodging the confused little Rainwing.
"Wha-" he said, hitting his snout on the ground. "First off, I don't know your brother. Why would you think I would know?" He said to him after recovering.
The dragonet looked at him real close. "I know that you know him because the last time he sent a Rainwing to visit me, he had orange eyes. True, his scales were different, but you can change, can't you?"
Spectro felt the heat of fury build up again. "No. I can't. And I don't like it when dragons go and attack me for no reason. Now go away before I have to attack you," he said, looking straight in the dragonet's eyes. The orange dragon backed away, sensing danger. Good. At least he's a smart one. He thought. "I am just going north, to find the valley of the mists. I am no danger to you if you don't antagonize me." He began to stalk off through the grass when he stopped. "You say that your brother ran away with the Rainwings. Why don't you too if you feel so hard done by." The orange dragonet stared at him with wonder and excitement from what he just said. Spectro continued talking, walking off into the distance. "Believe me, my life is worse.."
Spectro only looked around when the sound of wings reached his ears. The dragonet was in the air, heading south. Spectro smiled. At least he had no problem in the kingdom of rain.
