Fall of Hybrids

This is the story from Hailcrusher's perspective and is written by me: Dragonborn031
=== Prologue ===
Hawk Moth flew through the freezing rain towards back his hut. The rain slid down his scales like worms that have been dipped in wet and ice-cold water. His wings were shivering and are slowing him down. He needs to find shelter fast or else he'll freeze to death out here. Hawk Moth looked around the forest to see if there are any welcoming caves or hollows in wide trees nearby, but the sky is as black as a Nightwing's scales and the three moons in the sky are now the shape of an Icewing's claws. He doesn't have night vision but maybe he can try his best looking around for at least a single shelter to sleep in for the night. As thunder roared up above, Hawk Moth's eyes keep on darting around for some shelter until finally. . . Ah, yes. That old Leafwing home is perfect to stay in. He then soared to the huge hollow in the sequoia tree and from the looks of the claw marks and old decorations around it, this was definitely the old home of a small family of Leafwings. Hawk Moth landed inside the large cavity and it was as warm as a Sandwing's scales in here. The old bedding made of moss and grass was also very comfy and as he was about to sleep in it, he caught a glimpse of something in the mud below. Hawk Moth is a brave Silkwing and he isn't afraid of anything, even if it means going back out into the freezing rain again. He flew down towards the wet and muddy ground, greeted by the ice-cold rain again and landed. When the mud touched his talons, he shuddered. He did not like the feeling of something slimy touch his delicate claws, but he had to find out what was the white thing he spotted. As he tread through the muck, shuddering every single step, he finally got to the white object. . . which happens to be an abandoned dragonet. Poor little one, regretted Hawk Moth. He couldn't imagine how freezing cold the baby dragon is. Apparently, she must be right at Death's doorstep and suffering from hypothermia. Hawk Moth then gently took the little dragonet in his talons and carried her back to the old Leafwing home. As he went back inside, he can see from the dim light of the three moons that it was an Icewing-Nightwing dragonet hybrid and. . . she has no wings. No wonder her parents abandoned her, he thought. She couldn't survive for long without wings. But even he knew he couldn't just leave her outside. After all, he cares for those who are in danger, except for bad dragons like some Hivewings of course. And that's the time when Hawk Moth took the little hybrid dragonet as his daughter. And he's going to name her, Hailcrusher. 
=== Chapter One: Wingless yet a Warrior ===
I am a warrior. I am a warrior. I am a WARRIOR. Those are the words that always rang in Hailcrusher's head. She is a warrior and she will become one of the greatest ones of all time. . . even if she doesn't have any wings. Her whole life, Hailcrusher is passing her time without wings since some kind of genetic mutation must have happened while she was still an egg. But why did they abandon me?, she thought. They could have loved me even without wings. So why, WHY did they just leave me in the cold? She knew it has something to do with her wings, but she did just fine without them. She even survived without them. Whatever the reason why her biological parents abandoned her, other than thinking she won't survive without them, Hailcrusher's happy with her own adoptive father, a Silkwing named Hawk Moth. He's the one who trained her to be an amazing future warrior, not her so-called real parents. "We are done training for today now", he said, twirling his bamboo staff. "Thank you, father", she replied. Even though her father is strict and stoic at times, Hailcrusher knows that her father loves her nonetheless, and her to him back it seems. My adoptive father is a lot better than my biological parents, she always thought. They're nothing like him. I know exactly who I'm going to be. It was sunset, and Hailcrusher and Hawk Moth are packing up after training in the bamboo forest and are ready to head home, a small cave just near the Poison Jungle, the home of the Leafwings. One day, I will show everyone how I may be a wingless and defective dragon, but I'm not just any defective dragon, she thought. I am a Dragon Warrior. 
=== Chapter Two: A Strange Presence ===
It was early morning and Hailcrusher and her father had just arrived at their home cave. "I'll go fish at the river if that's okay with you", she said to Hawk Moth. "Very well", he replied. Hailcrusher immediately then rushed to the river for some delicious fish to roast, especially her favorite, cooked bluegill. "Just be back in an hour!", he called out. "Will do!", she called back. Hailcrusher finally reached the river (which she like to call, Rushing River because of its fast speed) and she waited for any fish to come out. After a moment or so, a splash is heard, and then Hailcrusher caught the fish that leapt out with her superstrong and superfast jaws. As the fish wriggled in her sharp teeth, she can see that the fish was a catfish. Father's favorite, she thought. She put the fish in the fish basket that is always nearby the river and waited for some more. Finally, after a minute or two, another fish leaped out of the water and into Hailcrusher's jaws. This time, the fish was a sockeye salmon. After putting the last fish into the basket, she was about to wait for more when she spotted a movement in the shrubbery ahead. Hailcrusher tried to see who was hiding, but the bushes were too thick. At that time, she just shrugged, thinking that it was just a random animal and went back to fishing. After catching a perch however, something moved in the bushes again. I wonder if it's someone rather than an animal hiding in there. Hailcrusher's wings then stiffened and her talons curled while her ears flattened, getting ready to fight. Or maybe I'm just being a little too worried. She just had that last thought when a bluegill leapt and she just barely managed to catch it by the tail. She sighed with relief and dropped it in the basket. I think that's enough fishing for today, she finally thought. She picked up the basket and went back to the cave, her stomach grumbling for cooked bluegill, but even her stomach wasn't enough to distract Hailcrusher from having the feeling that she and her father were not alone. 
=== Chapter Three: The Other Hybrids ===
After dinner, Hailcrusher then asked if she could get some fresh air outside because she felt like it. "Very well, young warrior", he said. She then stepped outside, which was now nighttime for the three moons in the sky were now glowing as bright as ever. Two of them so far are crescent moons while one is a half moon. As she sat down in the soft pillowy grass, she turned her gaze up into the stars, all of them, twinkling in the night sky.
