Midnights story: Prologue

Two figures stood around a campfire, their wings folded around three eggs
"I have an uneasy feeling about tonight" said the sandwing. Rain was pouring on her snout as she looked up at the starless sky."Cheer up Boil, the eggs might be ready to hatch" said the nightwing"What if... they... come looking for you" said Boil."They wont" the nightwing said. But his look of uncertainty said the opposite.Soon there was a crack, and a peice of one of the eggs shells popped off. "See? Everythings fine" Said Prince Truthseeker of the nightwings, twining his tail with Boil. A golden-yellow head popped out of the egg and stared at its parents with light blue eyes. The egg cracked more, and soon the whole side broke off and the small dragonet fell, landing on her underbelly with an oof. The dragonet stood up. It had a orange frill and purple wings. The dragonet also had a tail barb and a crest of ourple scales along her forehead. Thunder crackled in the sky and Boil gave the dragonet a worried look"We should go back in the cave" said Boil
"Nonsense. She needed to be born under the sky, as she is part nightwing. The two mooms are full. She's aught to be giften some power" Truthseeker argued back. "Truthseeker..." Boil pleaded anxiously. Truthseeker sighed. "Well at least the first dragonet has already hatched" he saidAs Truthseeker reached for the other two eggs, a shadow flickered in the trees of the rainforest "Someones here... i knew it." Hissed Boil, flapping her wings to put out the fire A large muscular nightwing appeared from the dark of the trees. "Truthseeker, traitor to the nightwings" hissed the nightwing Truthseekers eyes widened. "Who are you." He demanded "You do not recognize me? Im truely hurt." The nightwing growled. He gave Boil his expression of disgust, as he had done the first time they met and many times after "Why, I do recognize you. Heatwave, son of the queens front door guard" Truthseeker commented "I now have more power than you can imagine. An animus dragon under my controll" heatwave smiled. "Now its time for my vengence. You always outstaged me. I was never anything special to the queen. Now i dont need to be when i can controll the world" Heatwave said. Heatwave swooped down and snatched the dragonet in his claws. "No! Why, you son of a scorpion!" Boil roared, leaping at Heatwave. He slammed her to the ground with a thud, injuring her left arm. Truthseeker grabbed the two other eggs and fled. "Boil run!" He shouted. Boil ran after truthseeker anyways "Boil go! I got this!" Truthseeker called to her. " no way! Im not leaving you" Boil said. "Heatwave is dangerous. And its my fault hes after us..." Boil opened her mouth to speak but heatwave dropped infront of her "now, now. Arent we going to talk out our problems?" Heatwave laughed While heatwave was distracted, Truthseeker fled and hid the eggs in a rainwing hut. But deep down he knew all heatwave wanted was him. This was his vengence. Boil was limping around heatwave, lashing her uninjured claw at him. Truthseeker barreled into heatwave, biting into his shoulder. Heatwave tried to shake him off, but he clung to his back. Suddenly heatwave howled, and Boil had her teeth clamped on his tail. Truthseeker pulled back a tree branch and let it go so it wacked Heatwave in his eyes. Heatwave stumbled back, grunting and putting his talons to his eyes Boil and Truthseeker fled, Boil struggling due tk her injured arm. Once they got a safe distance,Truthseeker stopped. "What are you doing hes going to catch up to us." Boil said. "Boil," Truthseeker said, "it was my fault your in this. I shouldve stayed in the night kingdom instead of coming with you." He said "You regret chosing to come with me? Wasnt it all worth it in the end" Boil said "It was in fact the best days of my life. But listen, im not sure what heatwave is capable of, and im not willing to find out" Truthseeker took Boils talons in his. "You have to run away. Far away. Off the continent if you have to." Truthseeker begged her. "I refuse. They are my dragonets as well and they are my responsibility, as are you." Boil said. "Then... Im sorry about this. About everything." Truthseeker said, a tear rolling down the side of his face "Truthseeker...w-what are you doing?" Boil said, trying to pull away from him. But his grip was strong, and he held on. "I enchant Princess Boil of the sandwings to lose all memory of me. For her to run or fly as far as it takes to be safe" Truthseeker regretted his words, but there was no turning back "Truthseeker!-" Boil yelled, then her expression went blank. Truthseeker smiled as Boil flew away farther and farther, but his warm feeling of success dimmed when talons slammed on his tail. He turned around and faced heatwave. His eggs and his mate where safe. Now he had to do everything in his power to get back the dragonet Heatwave stole. He had to! He spread his wings and leaped at the nightwing It took no effort for Heatwave to fend him off Heatwave slammed Truthseeker and clawed at his underbelly. He had Truthseekers dragonet in a small sachel. "Im sorry..." he whispered to the little dragonet. Maybe one day she would grow up and avenge him, though midnight would probably never find out what happened to her parents. His body was in pain and he was sure most of his bones where cracked. Truthseeker laid down as Heatwave spread his wings and flew away with his dragonet. He watched to the final moment as if it might give her strength. But eventually he could take no more, and the world went blurry before going completely black.
