Silk of Flame

==Note }==
Uh, this is a story about a flamesilk SilkWing. Obviously, from the title. Hopefully I’ll actually stick with this, I actually like the plot compared to the others.
Thanks for reading!
==|| Prologue ||==
Silverline shivered with excitement. It was happening. Now.
A crack splintered through the egg, and a little fiery red snout poked out. 
Silverline gasped. The tiny SilkWing dragonet came tumbling out, landing head-first on the cold stone. Droplets of water dripped from the wicked stalactites that hung above them. Silverline was happy, but couldn’t help let her worry seep through. 
She turned her head carefully toward the well-hidden cave entrance. No sign of HiveWings. Silverline let out a sigh, and just let herself relax. She stroked the little dragonet’s head, whispering to her. 
“Don’t worry, no matter what happens, I won’t let anything harm you.” She said, gazing down at the little dragonet with warm eyes. She wrapped her talons and silvery wings around the dragonet like if she let go, she’d disappear. 
The dragonet squirmed out, and started beating her wing-buds hopefully. 
“Haha, my little bug, you can’t fly quite yet.” Silverline chuckled, scooping the dragonet up. The little SilkWing almost looked like fire, gorgeous ruby red, elegant orange, and hints of warm yellow shone on the dragonet. 
The little SilkWing looked up at her mother with large, amber eyes.
“I know just what I’ll call you..” She said, stroking her daughter’s head. “My little Firefly.” She breathed.

==Chapter One || Hidden Away|| ==
About six years later..  
Firefly sighed. She was bored, bored of life in hiding. Yes, it may be for her own safety but moons it seemed to literally suck the life out of her. 
“Mother, when can I leave the cave?” She asked, clawing at the stone. 
“Mm.. Not until your metamorphosis sweetheart!” Silverline said cheerfully, but her cheery tone didn’t hide her anxiety. She twisted her talons, and smiled. 
“That’s only a week away, right?” Firefly said, so excited she was nearly bouncing up and down. 
“Y-Yes.” Her mother said, almost hiccuping. There was a steady drip drip of water, dripping from the stalactites. 
“I’ll be fine.” Firefly said, walking over to her mother, twining her tail around hers. 
“I know you will be.. But you have no idea how horrible it is out there..!” Silverline hissed. 
“Well, it sounds better than this boring cave. You have to admit, you’re tired of the leaky stalactites, the bare cold stone, and the uncomfortable ledges.” Firefly said, beating her wing-buds a little.
“Yes yes, but we’re safe aren’t we?” Silverline said, walking over to get some food.
“Mother, why are we even hiding? Why are you so scared of the HiveWings?” Firefly asked, desperate for answers. She had always asked this, but Silverline almost always shook her head and said she’d tell her later.
“Firefly just get over here and eat, and maybe I’ll tell you while we’re eating.” Silverline said, sighing in defeat. Firefly’s eyes shone with excitement, and she bounded over and sat down. Silverline passed her a few okras and kumquats, and a small bit of persimmons. 
“Have I ever told you about your father?” Silverline asked. Firefly shook her head eagerly. “Well then, his name was Copper. He was.. One of the kindest SilkWings I ever knew. We were paired together, both assistants to the same HiveWing. Our mistress always thought we didn’t get alone, which we didn’t at first, and so she always made us do tasks together, hoping to torture us.
“Well, little did she know, we began falling in love. We didn’t realize it ourselves at first. Then, we had you, but without anyone knowing.” Silverline said wistfully.
(I’ll continue this later, just publishing to save it.)
