Into the Storm

Into the Storm is a fanfiction by RainWingHalfBlood, SubzeroAce, and PineWingMetaTribe
=Prologue=
Lightning didn’t remember much from right after ze’d hatched and even what ze did remember was blurry. 
Ze remembered a furious red dragon, and an even angrier yellow dragon. The red dragon had a crown and was getting yelled at by the yellow dragon who kept pointing at Lightning’s tail. 
Lightning was too young to know that only SandWings had tail barbs.
Lightning was too young to know the wrath of two queens. 
Lightning was too young to know that ze was different from all other SkyWings. In a way most SkyWings didn’t like.
Lightning was too young to know much of anything, really.
Lightning only remembered two sentences before ze blacked out, “It is an abomination! Scarlet, you can’t have this… thing living in your kingdom,” said the mean yellow dragon in a disgusted voice. And the mean looking red dragon harshly replying “Fine, Burn. Do whatever you want with it!”
Then Lightning just remembered falling through a storm, plummeting towards the ground with rain battering at zir small wings. A feeling of panic, but no danger to go with it- ze was too young to know what was happening. A flash of blinding light, static and quick, cutting through the night sky, that disappeared as quickly as it had arrived. The rest of zir memory was hazy and unclear, Lightning was unsure if ze’d just imagined it all, but ze was sure that something had happened that night that had changed zir life forever.
=Chapter 1=
 Five Years Later…
Lightning looked around the cave.
“Hey, Thunder?” They asked. “Do we have any more raspberries?”	
Thunder scurried over, using her hairless paws to climb high up on the stone walls that made up the cave where they lived. Lightning, you ate all the raspberries yesterday. 
Thunder was different from other scavengers. Sure, she looked the same, with dark fur at the top of her head, light skin, and cute hairless paws, but unlike other scavengers she could transmit thoughts into Lightning’s mind. Lightning didn’t know why or how Thunder had this ability, especially since none of the other scavengers they had studied could do anything similar. 
They realized they hadn't responded to Thunder’s comment yet, and quickly said “Well then I’ll have to go get some.”
Lightning walked towards the boulder that used to cover the entrance. When they had found the cave the boulder had been connected to some weird mechanism, probably for a dragon who wasn’t strong enough to move it. However, they had rolled it aside so that the cave could get more natural light. They grabbed a basket that sat near the boulder. It was already partially filled with various rocks they had collected and forgotten to put away. They had collected rocks for as long as they could remember. Nature interested Lightning a lot. It was unpredictable, but in a predictable way. Not like other dragons, who were just regular unpredictable. 
Lightning saw a rock that they had found a few days earlier. This rock had been particularly interesting because it had a layer pattern that was unusual for the area.
“HEY THUNDER!” Lightning called. “Guess what I found!”
Well, no point in guessing. What did you find? Thunder asked.
“I FOUND”, Lightning paused to catch their breath, “A SEDIMENTARY ROCK!”
Ooh! Thunder ran over to Lightning’s fruit basket so she could admire the multicolored rock. Let me see!	
“Look at all the layers!” Lightning exclaimed. 
Wow! How many rocks do you have already? Like, a thousand?
“I don’t know, but I’m going to add this into my collection!” Lightning said as they ran to their rock collection and carefully went to place the new rock in the center. Suddenly, a loud crash sounded outside, startling Lightning, and making them drop the rock. It fell to the ground, landing right on top of their talons.
“OW!” Lightning yelled. “STUPID UNKNOWN CRASH SOUND! Wait, unknown crash sound- I’ve never heard an unknown crash sound before. I wonder what it was!”Lightning raced through the cave at top speed and crashed into the cave wall before they could stop their self.“OW! STUPID CAVE! I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE UNKNOWN CRASH SOUND!” Lightning shouted at the top of their lungs. 
They half ran, half limped outside to discover a sparkly and shiny dark blue dragonet laying on the ground- it looked like he had crashed. The dragonet looked around their age, was bleeding badly from one shoulder, and moaning. The dragonet looked like a SeaWing, and was mostly dark blue, with green and black dappled scales. It had luminescent scales which kept flashing a deep indigo. The slight shimmering in it’s wings was similar to a NightWing’s, and the webbed talons, gills and tail were very similar to a SeaWing’s. He kept murmuring one sentence over and over again in his state of semi consciousness. 
“Hadal, run.”
“Hey! Are you okay? You don’t look very okay. Do you need help? Why did you crash? Why? I want to know. Is there some strange force that is anti-flight now? Do you think I can fly? Are dragons now doomed to be earthbound? You’re blue and shiny. Why are you blue and shiny?” Lightning asked.
There was no reply. The dragon had fainted. 	
“Dang it!” Lightning complained. “I didn’t even get to ask any of my remaining 1,953.7 questions!”
That's all for now, but there's more coming soon!
