Chapter one
Nightsilver was stuck. Again. She had been out hunting when she hit her head on a branch and got tangled in some vines. Her wing was held at an odd angle and her neck was tangled so she couldn't move her head. She wondered what her mother would say if she was here. Her mother would be getting angry if she stayed out for too long. She closed her eyes, imagining the disappointed expression. "Hey!" She opened her eyes. Sitting on the branch in front of her was a Rainwing with gold and amber dappled scales and kind eyes the color of honey. She tilted her head curiously. "Do you need help?" "No!" Nightsilver scowled and tried to look away."Especially not from a Rainwing."
The golden dragon laughed and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I'm sure you're hanging in vines of your own free will. Here." She sat up on her hind legs and started cutting away the vines with quick talons. "What's your name?" She asked conversationally. "... Nightsilver." "Oh that's a cool name! I'm Firefly." She cut the last vine and Nightsilver tumbled onto the branch and Firefly grabbed her forearm to steady her. "I could teach you to tree glide, if you want." She said. "What?" "Tree gliding, You know, Flying in the rainforest? Rainwings are taught as dragonets, But it's probably hard for you." Nightsilver thought for a moment. Partof her said she should turn down the offer and learn on her own.
She didn't need help! Especially not from a Rainwing. But another part of her was tired of flying into branches and vines, And a small part of her really wanted to see Firefly again. "Um…Yes please." She was always Terrible at asking for help. "If you really don't mind." Firefly's face lit up. " Of course I don't mind! I'd love to help you! I have to be back at the village soon, But we can start tomorrow, Meet me at the Bayou tree at noon?" Nightsilver nodded. "Um, sure." She said, Trying to hide the fact that she had no idea where the Bayou tree was. "Thank you." "No problem!" Firefly chirped. "I'll see you then!" And she flew away, Just a speck of gold among the trees within seconds. Nightsilver watched her go,Mulling over what just happened.
Then she flew off herself, Preparing for the impending rage of her mother.
