I don't own Wings of Fire. This chapter will be about the Winglet's getting to know each other. I hope you will enjoy. Oh... And this chapter will be in Clearfrost and Nightwave's POV's. Now, without further ado, let's take flight.
I sighed, I couldn't help it. I was so used to taking care of my sister, but we're not in the same Winglet. I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts when of my Clawmates spoke up. "What's wrong, Clearfrost? You seam worried about something. Is everything alright?" I looked up to see the SeaWing, Dolphin. I shook my head and gave a soft smile.
"I'm just worried about my sister. I know that she's six now... But I can't help it, I've taken care of her for years," I said, looking down at my talons. "Don't worry about it so much. I'm sure that she's making friends with her Winglet." The blue SeaWing said, looking at me with a kind smile. Dolphin's right, I need to relax. "But what can I do to keep myself from worrying about her?" I asked, looking up at Dolphin.
"That's easy. Come on let's go do something. You know how to swim?" The SeaWing asked, I shook my head, and she grinned, "Well then, I can teach you! C'mon." Dolphin exclaimed, guiding me to the underground river.
NIGHTWAVE
"Hay, Nightwave." I looked up from reading my scroll to see the SeaWing, Tempest, staring at me with amusement. "You're just like Ermine, she always has her nose in a scroll." I giggled and turned to the other side of me to see the IceWing, Ermine. "So, you two know each other then?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.
"Yeah, we've known each other since we hatched. We were actually raised under a mountain for most of our lives," Tempest explained, with a thoughtful look on her face. "So, what's your first class?" I asked, looking up at Tempest curiously.
"I have history with Webs," The SeaWing replied, after checking her scroll. "Hay, me too! Is Ermine in that class as well?" I asked, looking in said IceWing's direction. Tempest nodded, and I gave a wide smile.
"That class felt like it took forever! I almost fell asleep," Tempest said, I laughed and spoke up, "I'm glad I wasn't the only one, did you think it was long, Ermine?" I asked the shy and quiet IceWing. Ermine nodded and we made our separate ways to our next class. Tempest and I to science, and Ermine to math.
"Hay, Clearfrost!" I called out happily, I made my way to a seat next to her and Tempest sat next to me. I looked to see that there was a SeaWing and a SkyWing sitting next to my sister, I smiled and spoke up, "Are they two of your Clawmates?" I asked, and Clearftost nodded. "Yeah, this is the SeaWing, Dolphin. And the SkyWing, Prince Cliff." She said, I smiled and Clearfrost then asked me a question.
"Is this one of your Clawmates?" Clearfrost asked, and I nodded with a bright smile. "Yeah, this is the SeaWing, Tempest. My other friend, the IceWing, Ermine, is in a different class," I said happily, and Clearftost gave me a warm smile. "I'm so glad that your making friends. How have your other classes been?" My sister asked, I then told her everything that had happened in the past two hours.
I was in a big dilemma, I had never met my parents. Neither had Ermine, I mean, we had both grown up under a mountain for moons sakes. So, we both decided to go see what Nightwave was up to. "Hay. Nightwave. What are you doing? Aren't your parents coming?" I asked, the hybrid dragonet lowered her head and stared at the ground. I frowned, did I say something to upset her? I didn't mean to.
"It's just Clearfrost and me," She said, after a short pause. I put a comforting wing around her, and on the other side, I saw Ermine doing the same. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything." I said, looking up at Nightwave with an apologetic look.
NIGHTWAVE
"Hay, isn't that Hope and Peacemaker?" I turned to see that indeed, it was Hope and Peacemaker. I lowered my head as Peacemaker looked in my direction. "Hi, Nightwave. Guess what? I'm old enough to join the Jade Mountain Academy now!" Peacemaker said, smiling brightly up at his mother, and then back at me. I blushed and lowered my head again.
Well, some of the members in the Jade Winglet had just up and left for no apparent reason, so a few new dragonet's were needed. A NightWing, IceWing, and a SeaWing. The NightWing was Peacemaker, the IceWing is actually a hybrid dragonet. A SkyWing/IceWing hybrid named Frostfire. The SeaWing is actually a hybrid dragonet. A SeaWing/NightWing hybrid named Moonfrost. Dreamseaker had been switched to the Silver Winglet. The NightWing, Midnight, had just up and left as well.
"So you two don't have parents either?" Peacemaker asked, I tilted my head in confusion and I glanced over at Tempest and Ermine. "We don't know who our parents are. We were raised under a cave for most of our lives," Ermine spoke up shyly, she kept fiddling with her necklace nervously as she spoke.
ERMINE
I kept looking around nervously. It was awkward just standing around. But I stayed close to Tempest and Nightwave. "Hay, Ermine? Do you want a strawberry?" I slowly blinked, and I looked up from my scroll to see that Peacemaker was holding a strawberry in frunt of me. I slowly grabbed it and I was surprised to find that it was sweet and sower.
"Thank you," I said, giving the NightWing/RainWing hybrid a shy smile. "Your pretty shy for an IceWing," Peacemaker observed, and I lowered my head. That's what I here from a lot of other dragonets. I sighed, and slowly raised my head.
NIGHTWAVE
By late afternoon the conferences were ending, and dragonet's were saying goodbye to their parents. I sighed sadly, I missed my parents. I remember that my mother was a NightWing named Foeslayer, and my father was an IceWing named Arctic. That's all I remember, but I also remember that my father had given my the nickname Princess, and my sister Starlight. I smiled at the memory. Our parents were captured by some SeaWings, why SeaWings you may ask? I have no idea.
"Hay, Nightwave. What are you doing out here all by yourself?" I turned in surprise to see Tempest and Ermine. I shrugged in response. "Well, come on. Let's go back inside," Tempest said, I laughed quietly and followed my two best friends back inside.
I couldn't sleep. I stared up at the ceiling of my sleeping cave, pondering on what she should do. "Uhh, I wish I was part IceWing!" I whispered, to no one in particular. "Hay, Nightwave? You awake?" I slowly lifted my head to see Tempest's Aqua green eyes staring at me. I nodded and slowly climbed off of my sleeping platform.
"Yeah, what is it, Tempest?" I asked, careful to keep my voice low so that I wouldn't wake a still quietly sleeping Ermine. The SeaWing sighed and she made her way out of our sleeping cave, I followed, wondering what she was wanting to do so late at night. "Let's go flying," Tempest exclaimed, once we had made it outside into the chilly night air. I just blinked rapidly in response. "Yeah. Let's go flying!" I said, and we flapped our wings and lifted off into the starlit covered sky.
"Wow. It's so Beautiful at night. Have you ever gone flying at night?" Tempest asked, and Nightwave just grinned and replied cheekily, "Yup, you bet. After all, I'm part NightWing."I then laughed and the two of us flew on, laughing and playing games like: hide and seek, tag and manny other fun games. "You swim as fast and as skilled as a SeaWing. Are you sure that your not also part SeaWing?" Tempest asked, eyes shinning with both aw and wonder. I just laughed and replied, "Not that I know of. I don't think a dragon can be from three tribes." I then frowned, then an idea hit me. "Let's stay out here for a while longer. It's fun beeing out at night," I said, flying around Tempest, who just laughed. "Yeah, I like that idea. C'mon, let's keep swimming!" Tempest exclaimed. I then took a deep breath and dived into the water.
Once me and Tempest had come back from our nightly flight, we had fallen asleep, shortly before dawn. We were awoken by the sound of the gong ringing. I groaned and slapped my talons over my ears. "Why does it have to ring so early?" I mumbled, as I rubbed my eyes. I sat up and slowly walked with Tempest and Ermine to the pray center for breakfast.
"Are you two alright? You both look exhausted." Both me and Tempest turned to see Tsunami and Sunny looking at us with concerned eyes. I slowly nodded and replied in a quiet voice, "We both had trouble sleeping so we went to get some fresh air. And we lost track of time, so when we finally did get to sleep, it was almost dawn." I replied, Tsunami frowned and she turned her attention to the three of us. "Nightwave, Tempest, Ermine. Follow me. Don't worry, you're not in trouble, I just want to talk with you three." Tsunami said, giving us all a reassuring smile.
On the way to Tsunami's office, I turned to Tempest and whispered something inter her ear. "Really? We should plan a party for your sister!" Tempest said, in a low whisper. I smiled and we started thinking of party plans. "Now, Ermine," The IceWing looked up nervously, and once Tsunami had the IceWing's attention. She continued speaking, "I herd from Starflight and Sunny that you got attacked by some of the other IceWing students. My question is, why didn't you try and defend yourself?" Tsunami asked, and Ermine lowered her head in shame. I gave a shocked look to Tempest, and she looked just as shocked as I did.
"Because, because... I was to afraid," Ermine stuttered, looking up at Tsunami with sad and fearful ice blue eyes. "Nightwave, Tempest. Can you two please go back to your cave while I help Ermine," Tsunami said, I looked at Ermine with worried eyes. After that, me and Tempest made our way back to the Quartz Winglet's cave.
