Wings of Fire: The Ghost Eye (Book 1)

==The Ghost Eye==
(Note I wrote this in 4th grade so its kinda bad)
Prologue
“Hello?” Storm said. The hot breeze of the desert pressed down on him, heat beat down on his face. “Looks like you brought him alive…” said a voice. Storm whirled around to come face to face with - a SkyWing! “Who are you?” Storm asked. “Kestrel.” she hissed back. “Kestrel?” Storm though “I thought you died many years ago.” 
Whump!  Storm turned around and jumped back, bumping into her, making her shoot a gare at him. Storm stood a few feet away from - an Icewing. Kestrel hissed at the Icewing.  Smoke shot from she snout. “A dead Thunderwing is better than an live one,” she roared. 
Storm had a feeling that he was not going to like this. “Um,” Storm paused when they both turned to him. “Please don’t kill me, I can be useful in many ways.” Kestrel turned to the Icewing and back at him. “Like what?” she said.  
“BUT NOTHING!” She yelled back at him. “HVITUR!” she yelled at the Icewing. 
Hvitur? Hadn’t he died too? Storm tried to remember him. 
“Take him back and kill him!” Kestrel said strictly. “Wait!” Storm yelped as Hvitur picked him up. A few seconds later, he was zooming across the sky. “Put me down!” Storm yelled but Hvitur just grinned. His head got so close to him, Storm could feel his icy cold breath. 
“Prepare to die Thunderwing!” He yelled. “NOOOOOOOO!” Storm yelled as he was dropped into a hole of darkness.
Chapter 1
“Yaaaah!” Storm yelled. A freezing blast of air shot straight onto his back. “So that was Hvitur breath,” Storm thought, rubbing his eyes with his talons. He opened them and yelped.  A Rainwing head was right in front of him. It was Firefly, his best friend ever since he went to Jade Mountain Academy.  
“Hi Firefly,” he said, spreading his wings to stretch. 
“I heard you talking in your sleep,” she said hopping out of her hammock 
“You said something about Thunderwings being useful?” Storm shuffled his feet with embarrassment. 
“I don’t really want to talk about it,” he said. Firefly twined her tail with his. 
“That’s okay, I like secrets.” she said. Storm stretched out his arms and legs and listened to the sound of other dragons waking up.  He sat down and breathed a puff of electricity. 
“I’ll never be able to help dragons if I can’t use the right amount of my electricity.”  Firefly sat next to him looking into his eyes with her leaf-green ones. 
“The more you practice, the better you get,” she said to him. She picked up a snake she killed, and set it in front of him. “Try to shock it back to life,” she said. Storm took a deep breath and picked it up. 
“Concentrate,” he thought, “Clear your mind.” Lightning crackled through his hands. “I hope this works,” he thought anxiously as he felt the electricity flow into his talons.  “But what if it doesn’t?” he thought.  
“What if I fail and never get it? What will I do?”   Storm’s hands shot a lightning blast at the snake. BZZZZZZZZZZZT! 
Storm opened his eyes. The snake was not there, only a pile of ashes lay in his claws. 
“Failed,” he said sadly, his wings drooped.  
“Firefly?” He said. Slowly, Firefly turned back to her normal color. 
“Wow,” she said “I had no idea you could do that.” “Me neither,” breathed Storm, “And I never want to do that again!” He gulped.  What if he accidentally killed her? 
Chapter 2
“Its sun time!” Firefly sang out. Normally, Storm would be happy for her, but today he was worrying. 
“Burning her to a crisp is the last thing I want to do,” he thought.  “I know it might never happen, but it could!” To be honest, Storm didn’t want to shock anyone to a crisp. 
“Hey Zappy how’s your girlfriend?”  Storm groaned. Well, almost anyone. He turned around.It was the Ice Squad. The Ice Squad was a group of five Icewings that teased any dragonet that shared a cave with a dragon of the opposite gender. To Storm, they were very annoying.  They were always talking loudly about Firefly when she and Storm were near. 
“Are you trying to show off super shock?” An Icewing named Iceberg said. 
“I’m am not, go away” Storm said, his mouth full of electricity. “Go ahead and try,” snorted Frostbite, the biggest Icewing. Storm thought for a moment. He probably should use his breath on Frostbite and use his teeth on Iceberg, then use his claws on the other three. Suddenly, he spotted Firefly looking at him with a concerned look. Storm closed his eyes and relaxed, the sparks jumping out of his mouth. “What’s wrong Zappy? Too scared?” taunted Iceberg. Storm rose up to his full height and said the word that always snapped their mouths shut, “No.” He took another glance at Firefly.  The poor Rainwing was trying to blend in with her surroundings, but Storm’s heat vision made him able to see her. 
He looked back at the Ice squad with a stern look. Speechless. They were speechless. Storm turned around and started to walk to the Rainforest entrance. He felt he had been a little too stern to them and hoped he hadn’t made them really mad. Storm took a backward glance at the Squad. They were glaring as hard as Storm could imagine. 
“They are going to try and get into my scales, I just know it!” he thought.  “Maybe they were going to tell everyone that I like her or maybe they were going to dump 
water all over me in front of her, that would be so embarrassing!” As soon as they reached the exit, Storm almost forgot about it. Firefly flew over to a branch and Storm followed. Just then, as soon as he perched on the branch, he saw them at the entrance! They were looking right into his glow-in-the-dark eyes, smiling in a mischievous way. 
“Ulp!” he thought, “That can’t be good.” 
Chapter 3
== ==
 Iceberg flew towards him faster than a cheetah and slowed down when he got closer to the branch he perched on.
 “What are they doing?” he said softly. Iceberg landed next to Storm with a goofy looking grin. Storm frowned and scooted up the branch a bit. He did the same. Storm scooted a bit farther and ended up under Fireflies wing! 
“He wanted me to move over.” he realized now every dragon sees me like this under Fireflies wing like I’m a one year old dragonet!” Embarrassed, Storm hissed,scaring Iceberg away. The Icewing went back to his friends and they all started chuckling. “Rrgh!” growled Storm. A few dragons saw him and started whispering to each other. He wanted them all to shut their snouts before he burned them off. Then he saw Firefly looking at him suspiciously. Storm put his talons over his eyes. 
“Stupid IceWings!” he thought. This was his life. Horrible icewings,nightmares,falling experiments. Why couldn’t they just get out of his life and bully other dragons. Storm arched his back to catch some sunlight maybe he should just forget about it and just fall asleep in the sun. Slowly his eyes got heavier and heavier until he was fast asleep.
“You like the sunlight ?”  said a voice. Storm nodded sleepily. “I prefer the shade.” Then Storm realized that this was not Fireflies voice. His eyelids shot up. An Icewing was perched next to him. Shock bolted through Storm making him turn pale blue. He knew this Icewing. He had a long scar streak across his neck and the same color Storm was now. The Icewing was a dragon that died twenty years ago in the Skywing arena. It was Fjord. The same Icewing that was killed by Glory. The same Icewing that wanted to kill Clay. It was definitely Fjord and he was sitting right next to him!
== ==
Chapter 5
“I-I thought you were dead.” Storm said backing up the branch until he almost fell over. “I am dead.” He replied. “But-you are sitting right next to me” Stammered Storm. “I know but I’m dead.” Storm was getting a headache. Was he alive or not? He rubbed his eyes and blinked. Fjord was gone! Panicking, Storm circled the branch,tried to sniff him out,and scanned the other branches for him. Nothing worked! His heart felt like it was bouncing back and forth in his chest.  He disappeared in thin air! Storm shivered, was Fjord a ghost? And why did he seem so friendly? Shaking his head Storm fell asleep again.
“You slept well tiny one.” said a deep voice.  Storm shot up wide awake. He was staring into the chest of a large Nightwing. “Gulp”! Storm said. “Hello Thunderwing.” Said Morrowseer. Storm thought of shooting into the air and not stop but he was too frozen to move. “M-m-morrowseer?” stammered Storm. “Yes?” said the big Nightwing. “W-what are you d-doing here?” The Nightwing paused as if he was stunned. “I may be dead but-” he started. But Storm blinked again and he disappeared. Now Storm was nervous. “ Are you okay Sparky? You look pretty spooked.” Asked a familiar voice said. Turning around to face Firefly Storm spoke “I think I’m hallucinating” he said to her. Firefly gave him a surprised look . “Really? she squeaked “What are you seeing?” Storm took a deep breath and explained to her about Fjord and Morrowseer appearing out of nowhere.  Firefly flapped her wings. “Wow that's creepy!” She said “You should see the doctor maybe they can help.” Storm lifted off the branch “Right he said the doctor is just what I need.” 
Chapter 6
“No your not sick.” Said the Mudwing doctor. Storm stared at him in surprise. “But I’m seeing things but when I blink they disappear!” The Mudwing tilted his head. “What do you see?” He said. Storm was sure a thunder cloud was floating over his head. He wasn’t usually sitting in a room full of creepy looking things and a very calm like dragon with it. Storm let out a huff of smoke and said, “Morrowseer and Fjord.” He was sure he saw the Mudwing wince when he mentioned them. “ You don’t know?” He asked.            “ Know what?” Storm said confused. “A Ghost eye Thunderwing.” He said. Storm cocked his head. “Ghost Eye? What was that?”. The Mudwing took a deep breath. “Can you tell me about your parents?” He asked. Storm hesitated “Okay.” he said “My mom is an animus named Thunder and my dad is also is an animus named Lightning. They said when I was born my egg had a misty blue color unlike other Thunderwing eggs.” he had a queasy feeling after he finished when he gazed into his eyes and didn’t speak a word for a long time. Taking another deep breath the doctor spoke. “You are an Ghost eye Thunderwing.” he said. “ A what?” Storm asked feeling guilty for not knowing about it. “ A Ghost eye Thunderwing is a Thunderwing that is born from two Animus Thunderwing.” the doctor said “ It makes them see dragons that died and they only can see them if they are calm.”   Storm growled, “That doesn’t help me at all! It is real.” said the Mudwing camly. “AAGH!” roared Storm “ “I...Had...ENOUGH !” Storm shot a huge blast of lightning. Storm gasped when he realized what he did. He jumped up and covered himself with his wings. CRACK! Storm slowly peered out of them to see what damage he caused . Nothing was struck only the Mudwing got hit witch would burn him to crisp. Instead of burning him up the blackened spot strangely turned back to brown. “ I’m so sorry!” Storm said. “Don’t worry!” he said. “Wait.” Storm said “ Why didn’t you burn up?” The Mudwing grinned “ I hatched from a blood red egg .” he said Storm’s eyes went wide. “ I never heard of a Mudwing hatching from a blood egg but in the Dragonets of destiny scrolls so does that mean?” Storms eyes went wide. His heart leaped when the Mudwing nodded. “Storm, my name is Clay I’m from the Dragonet prophecy” he said.
  
Chapter 7
“Hold on the minute.” Storm said. “ Your the same Mudwing that was bitten by a Dragonbite viper?” “Yeah!” Same Mudwing that got the venom burned out by Peril?” “Yes!” he said showing him the scar. Storm winced,if he looked at it any longer he surely was going to throw up his insides. Poor Clay Then Storm remembered mentioning Peril. Which made him think of her relationship with Clay. Which made him think of Firefly. Which made him shiver. He got a sinking feeling when he thought of Peril. He hasn't talked with her, Splash, and Eclipse in a few days. “ Maybe I should go see them later.” he thought. Storm realized that Clay was giving him a small smile when he mentioned her. “Oh, geez.” Storm thought “I forgot about the...thing that was happening with those two.” Clay opened his mouth to speak but Storm dashed out of the office. “Sorrygottago! He yelled.Clay said something but Storm could barely hear him over the wind. All he could hear was “ Tell Peril I-” Storm rolled his eyes looking back at the door. How could a friendly Mudwing have a relationship with a dragon that killed more dragons than her own scales? Storm shrugged  “ I guess I’ll never know.” Storm turned at a corner. It made a little vorp! As he turned. “Next stop my friends! then he muttered “ and Clay's girlfriend too.” “Watch out!” Storm snapped out of thinking. He was headed straight for a Skywing! “Oh-no!” Storm thought not only he couldn’t slow down but he knew this dragon. Copper orange colored scales and flaming blue eyes . It was Peril. If he didn’t find any way to slow down … “I'm going to be burned to death!” 
Chapter 8
“I could run into the wall instead.  Storm thought “ or I could just hope for the best.” Either of them were too slow  “ I guess I have to die. he thought “ “That is way better than breaking the rule of no flying in the hall.” Storm braced himself for the pain but suddenly he felt multiple claws grab onto him. “ Whoa! Slow down there Sparky!” Firefly said. Splash was next to him and Eclipse were on his side pulling him back. 
 “Thanks gu-OOF!” Storm skidded down the floor as they let go slowing down after a second. “ Ow, that's going to leave a mark.” he thought he realized he was staring at Perils flaming claws! Storm yelped and slid back keeping a safe distance from her.” Phew! Thanks guys.”Storm said. He felt a little shy for getting scared so easily about being so close to flaming talons but what really mattered was that he was alive. Eclipse winked, “Don’t worry Sparky! Happens to me a few times a month.”  Storm looked at Peril. He would feel bad if he had firescales too. Nobody could touch him if he needed it. Storm rubbed his aching snout and decided to change the subject. “ What are you guys doing here?” he asked. Splash grinned, “ You were In the health office for so long we decided to visit you.” Firefly nodded and continued. “Then we heard Peril and investigated.”After she finished he eyed Peril. “ How did she tell Clay she liked him?” he thought. Peril didn’t look like a dragon that told him right away. Maybe Clay just figured it out. Then Storm got a scared feeling of the dream he had. “Peril, he said everyone turned to him. Storm ,lowered his head a bit. He hated being in the center of attention. “I saw Kestrel in a dream I had” he said quietly.  There was a tiny gasp from Firefly and Peril. But- but isn’t she-?” Peril squeaked. “Dead.” he finished. “Yes, but she isn’t.” The dragonets gave him puzzled looks, Storm breathed slowly. “I am a Ghost-eye Thunderwing.”
Part 2
 The Animus
Chapter 9
Splashes and Eclipses mouth hung open. Peril looked at him her eyes full of shock. Firefly bounced. “ Wow that’s so cool !” she said excitedly. “Interesting I never thought it was real.” Splash said . How did you find out?” Peril asked. “ Urm… Storm said. He really didn’t want to mention Clay helped him around Peril. Luckily Eclipse jumped in. “ Can you try and see one now?” she asked.   “I’ll try to do it.” he promised. Storm closed his eyes and calmed his mind. “ I might be talking to thin air just letting you guys know.” he said. Storm took a few calm breaths. “ WHO ARE YOU?!”
“Eek!” Storm thought. He opened his eyes. Burn was standing right next to him. “GAH!” yelled Storm. Without a second thought he blinked and made her disappear.  Eclipse waved a wing at him. “ You okay?” she asked. “B-b-burn!” he yelled. Splash leaped back. “Where?” “He means he saw Burns spirit, Splash.” Firefly said nudging him with her wing. “ At least someone is helping me feel better.” Storm thought. Eclipse shivered, “ Burn was the worst dragon. She said “ The scrolls about her gave me nightmares for weeks.  Storm read those scrolls too. “ The scrolls said she had the most weirdest things like spiders with twenty-two eyes, double-tailed dragons,and even plants that had the most unusual colorings! Firefly squeezed Storms talons hard. “I’m sure glad that she’s dead.” she said “ Some of us might wish that they were normal instead of having something terrible like killing anything the... touch… no offence Peril.”  Peril shrugged “ It’s okay Firefly its just sometimes hard not to touch anybody when I want to touch them.” Storm knew that feeling. When Storm came back from a Thunderwing migration he got so excited his body lit up. It blinded his friends and he had to try and calm down for a whole week. He looked at Firefly. “ I always mess up when she’s around. Why do I all of a sudden act like a scaredy-scavenger ?” he thought. Suddenly, the whole hallway was swarming with dragons. “ Oh time for history.” Eclipse said.  “You guys go, I have to do something first”. Splash called. Everyone turned to walk away but one dragon. Storm. The halls were empty now everything was silent. “ Storm I have to do this alone go away.” Splash said. Storm tilted his head. What was Splash hiding from them?
   
Chapter 10
“ I said go away!” Splash said angrily. Storm shook his head “ I’m not leaving you.”  Splash stamped his foot. “ But-” “ I know your hiding something.” Storm said firmly. Splash gave him a look full of shock. “ I-I -” Stammered Splash. He turned around and sighed. Hand me a bracelet said. Storm spotted one on the ground and handed it to him. Splash sighed and opened up his talons. To Storms surprise the rope started slithering across the ground!  “ Your an animus?!” Storm said. Splash nodded fiercely at him. “ But I don’t want you to tell the others okay?” Storm almost burst out saying “ Even Firefly?” but instead he just said a normal “Okay.” instead. “Now let’s get to history.” 
 
Storm and his friends burst out the door. “ You’re an animus?” Eclipse said “Why didn’t you tell us? asked Peril Splash glared coldly at Storm. “ Sorry Splash!” Storm though “ I’m not good at keeping secrets!”   “ Guys?” Asked Eclipse It's time for Herbs and healing class.” As he expected Peril got a dreamy look on. “ Ugh!” he thought “ This is going to be pretty bad.” Though he had to admit, now that he found out that his teacher was Clay. He thought it was going to be exciting.But he acted all mushy and sweet around her and almost always made her pass any test  “We’ve got a test today.” Firefly said. “I hope you guys do great!” Storm gave her a big smile as always. Then, in the corner of his eye he spotted Peril. Her eyes were fixed on him. Storms scales turned into ice.“ Either she thought I’m going to copy her on the test or she thinks i’m hiding something.” he thought. He really hoped it was the first one
Chapter 11 
“ That was very interesting.” Eclipse said. “ I think the test was a bit too easy don’t you think?” Firefly said. Storm nodded “ Clay is to nice on his students.But maybe it because you studied hard.”  Splash said nothing. Storm looked down at his talons guiltily. “What do you think Peril?” asked Eclipse. Peril did not answer. “ Hoo-boy.” Storm thought as he turned around. Peril was gone. Splash looked up. “Maybe she is still working on the test.” he said “Or flying out with Clay.” Storm muttered under his breath. He looked back and spotted Peril just coming out of the cave far away from the group. “Come on guys we have free time right now!” Firefly said. Storm sighed a bit.He hated having to leave Firefly but if he told her she would find out he liked her In free time all the dragons split up to do their own thing to relax. “ See you guys later!” Splash said dashing to the left hall. Eclipse waved a talon and went to the right hall. Firefly went straight  up to the next one. Storm turned back and almost ran into Peril! “Sorry I didn’t see you.” Storm said. He turned around and was about to take off when Peril shouted “Wait!” Storms stomach did a flip-flop. He inched his body slowly to her. “What?” he asked nervously. “Do…” she started then she took shook her head and continued. “Do you like Firefly? Storms mind went blank. “ If I say yes she might tell her.” he remembered. “Niiuuuuuu.” he said. Peril blinked. “ Are you sure?” “No...nononononononono.” He said. “Really? Because I thou-” Peril started “BYE!” Storm said shooting off without a backward glance. “ That was bad.” Storm thought now she’s going to ask Firefly too and I have to ignore her.” Storm looked back. ‘“I guess I can tell at least one dragon.” He said. Storm took a deep breath and circled back to her. “ Peril” he said to her. Peril jumped a bit .“ What is it?” she asked.  Storm took a deep breath “I didn’t really mean when I said I don’t have a crush on Firefly.” Peril tilted her head “ What are you saying?” she asked. “I-”Storm cracked he took a deep breath and started again “ Peril I do love Firefly.”he said.
Chapter 12
== ==
Peril flapped her wings. “ You do?” she said. Storm nodded shyly not looking at her in the eyes. “But you have to keep it a secret.” he said. Peril nodded “Sure that will be easy.” she whispered. “Oh thank you!” Storm said jumping up to hug her. “Oh!Careful!” Peril warned. Storm jumped back before his wings touched her. Storm sighed “ Thanks for the warning.” he was glad he didn’t. It would be like landing in fire! Peril nodded. “I have to go meet up with Clay. Bye!” She said flying off. “Of course.” Storm grumbled watching her go. “ It always goes back to Clay.” It wasn’t like Storm hated Peril liking him. It was just she always said goodbye with something like “ tell Clay I said hello!” or “ I’m going out with Clay later!” And it was even before he knew what he looked like! Every time she said that and left he always thought  “ Who’s Clay?” Not this time. Storm decided to forget about it and go on with his business. Though he had no idea of what to do. “ 1. Chat with Firefly 2. Spy on Peril 3.follow Eclipse to hunting practice… or 4. Talk about animus magic with Splash!” Animus was still a mystery to Storm. His parents barely did it when he was younger. He shot to left hallway and sped in many other directions. “Where is he?” Storm thought. Storm nearly ran into the wall as he saw a aqua blue Seawing walking down the hallway. “Splash!” yelled Storm. The Seawing kept on walking. “ Is that him?” Storm thought. Then he saw Splashes scarred wings. Storm landed in front of him. “What are you doing here ?” he hissed. Storm stared at him “ Are you okay?” he asked. He ignored him and continued walking. “Wa-!” he started To his surprise Splash lit up all his stripes making a huge flash that blinded Storm. 
Storm opened his eyes a few moments later. He saw the hall reinforced with iron. “At least I’m not blind.” he thought thankfully. Then he hung his head remembering what  Splash said before he disappeared. “I’m sorry Splash.” he thought. “Where did he go?” He only was blinded for a few seconds and he couldn’t fly thanks to the scars he got from a fight. He had vanished!
Chapter 13
 “ How can he just disappear like that?!” Storm thought wildly. “ I guess I should just leave him alone for a bit even if I have no idea where he is and how he did it.” Storm felt a rush of wind fly past him. “Probably a Rainwing.” he thought. “ Or a spirit that wants my attention.” he sat down and concentrated. “I hope it is not someone bad like Scarlet.” he said to himself. Storm waited a bit. “ Is anyone here?” he thought. He opened his eyes. Splash was in the same spot he was before,his back turned.“ Why is his back turned? I’m right here?” he thought. “Splash?” 
The Seawing jumped. “ How can you see me?!” he demanded. “Huh?” Storm said confused. “ I made myself invisible how an you see me?” Storm barely seen his friends get angry so he had no idea what say. “ I thought I felt a spirit rush past me so concentrated for a minute but I didn’t hear a voice so I opened them and saw you.” he said. Splash started to look more surprised then angry when Storm finished. “Storm, do you know what this means?” Splash said. “I don’t.” he replied. “ I don’t think having a Ghost eye justs lets you see spirits I think it also lets you see invisible things!”  Storm was nearly knocked out by his words. “ I can?” Storm said. Splash nodded “If you can see me right now that's a good idea that you can-.” 
“Hold it.” Storm said “How can you turn invisible?” Splash narrowed his eyes “Promise you won’t tell anyone?” he said quietly. Storm flicked his tail. “ It’s hard to hold secrets but it’s just one secret maybe I won’t have time or forget to tell them so... I guess.” he thought. “Promise.” Splash took a huge breath. “ I did not use animus magic to become invisible it's because…” Splash rubbed his talons together. “...my dad is a Rainwing!” he blurted. A wave knocked Storm over. A wave with sharks that ate him and spit out his bones. And their spit had acid which melted the bones up. 
Chapter 14
== ==
Storm managed to not freak out. “ You are?” he said. Spash nodded “ I can’t spit venom but I can change color. I made myself impossible to see with magic so dragons couldn’t see me,but I think when Ghost-eyes concentration allowed you to see me.” Storm put his talons over Splashes. “ Your secret is safe with me.” he said. Splash nodded again. “And your secret is safe with me too.” he whispered. “ Secret?” Storm said. “I thought seeing invisible things would be a good secret don’t you think?” he said “ I’m not sure I want to keep it a secret.” Storm said uncomfortably. “ I don’t think I can hold on to so many secrets because I already have another one…” 
“ Quick! Change the subject!” 
“ Well I have to go.” he said quickly. 
“ I have to go to practice my magic.” Splash agreed “ Bye!” Storm said shooting back out of the hall.” Now what?’ he thought. His stomach growled and he had an answer. He flew off into the rainforest to find some food.  The forest had about one hundred fruits to pick and just about any animal you could ever want. To Storm, it was a place when you want time in the sun or if you forgot hunt in the morning. Storm was in the hunting mood today. He scanned the area and spotted a bright red frog perched on a branch. “ Too brightly colored.” he mumbled “ Which means poisonous,” he added. He saw a electric eel. “ Too much electricity to absorb.’ he said. Then he spotted his prey. Three big blue fish swimming near the edge of the stream. He was about to grab one with his claws when he paused. “ Water and electricity don’t mix.” he reminded himself. There had to be away to catch one. Even just one fish was enough to fill him up but how? Then he got an idea! His mother always said that the only place electricity barely flow in was there tail unless they were very mad. Storm also knew that fished leaped when they were startled. Putting them together made a perfect plan! Storm smacked the water hard creating a splash. The big fishes leaped up to dodge the tail. A fish saw Storm and tried to turn away but it was to late.
Chapter 15
Storm snatched up the fish at lightning speed. The fish struggled to escape and it was very slippery so it was hard to hold on. “ I hope you aren’t too shocked” Storm said to the fish. He was about to give it the final shock but then he paused. For some reason he didn’t feel right. “How can I just end its life?” he thought. He glanced at the fish. It stopped moving and was moving its flippers sadly. “ I guess I’ll just look for a fruit instead.” he thought. Storm dropped the fish back into the water. It looked at him for a few seconds. Then swam back up the stream. “ I guess I’m off for a fruit.” he sighed.
Red liquid trickled down Storms chin. “ Wow, A fireberry is much easier to catch than a fish.” he said to Splash. Storm found Splash on a high tree catch some rays. He also was laying on a tree with the rare Fireberries growing on it. Splash snorted “ Your jokes are terrible!” he said. “Translation: That was very funny!” Storm thought. “ So, how are things going?” Splash asked. “ I’m not sure. I actually feel a little-” He started. “ I mean with Firefly silly.” he said elbowing him in the ribs. Storm turned so white he almost looked like a Icewing. “ You know?” Storm said feeling queasy. “ Well actually I was told-” he started.          “ YOU KNOW?!?!” Storm yelled. He shook Splash along with the tree itself not even caring if anyone heard him Splash raised up his claws. “ Don’t blame me...” he said honestly. Storm gulped he already knew what she was going to say. “ Blame Peril.” he finished.
Chapter 16
== ==
“Peril told Splash.” Storm thought “I never should have told her.” Storms first thought was to claw Peril  until he burned up. Instead he decided to stay with Splash. “ Did Peril tell Firefly?” he asked. “ If he says yes I’m going straight back to plan A. He breathed a sigh of relief when she shook her head. “ Not yet.” he said. Storms stomach plunged deep into deepest trench. Not yet? He nearly exploded with surprise. “ Not yet? What D'ya mean not yet?” he said. Splash shrugged “ I think she told Firefly but I got hungry before she-” Zow! Storm shot out of the tree at full speed before the Seawing finished. “ If Peril told Firefly I am going to be… uh… well if there was a word to tell how embarrassed I am I’d use it.” he thought. “ Maybe the spirits will know something about this.” he wondered. He pressed on claw to his chest and calmed his mind.       “ You called?” Storm opened his eyes. It was Dune. The Sandwing Guardian. Storm didn’t have time to be scared he bravely went on. “ Did Peril tell Firefly I like her?” he whispered so nobody would hear. Dune shook his head. “ No, she only told Splash.” he said. Storm breathed a huge breath. “ Thank you Dune.” he said. He was surprised to realize he wasn’t nervous. The Sandwing nodded “ I glad to help and I will always be here when you need me just call me.” Storm tilted his head “ How?” Dune gave him a surprised look. “ Just think about who you want to see thats dead and they will appear.” he said. Storm blinked and then a few more times even though he disappeared. “ I guess I learned something new.” he thought. Still, he could not believe what he learned and it was pretty scary to learn it from a spirit. “ Lets see if he’s right,” he thought. “ Firefly.” Storm thought. He remembered her happiness, her voice, and her color. Suddenly, the floor Storm was on became thinner and more rough. All around him he heard chirps and chatters. Storm opened his eyes. He was sitting in the rainforest on a thin branch right next to a Rainwing. Her mouth was wide open!
Chapter 17
“ AAHH!” Storm screeched at the top of his lungs. He had no time to fly away before the Rainwing shot venom straight at him. Storm covered his body with his wings.                                
  I’m going to die.” a voice in his head sung out. He closed his eyes and waited for the pain but it never came. “ Don’t worry I’m not going to hurt you.” said a voice. Storm opened his eyes slowly and unfold his wings. The Rainwings leafy green eyes where gazing into his.                 
“ Storm? ” she said. Storm recognized her from the scrolls and his eyes went wide. “ Glory?” he replied. “ Three moons, how did you get here?” she asked. Storm was a little terrified to be standing in front of an actual queen! “ Should I tell her? What if she thinks I’ll be good use for her and keeps me here forever?” he thought. Glory was now a color that Storm thought it meant curiosity . “ Never say no to a Queen.” he remembered his dad saying whenever he had to speak with Queen Plasma.” Storm explained to her about Ghost eye Thunderwings and how he ended up here. Glory tapped her chin thoughtfully after he finished.    “ Interesting, I heard of those rumors in the forest the day Firefly hatched.” she said. Storm looked down at his talons. “ Tell. don’t tell. Glory is going to kill me if I tell her I love her own daughter.Ack! Its coming out! Bite your tongue Storm ! BITE YOUR TONGUE! HOLD ONTO IT!!!” Storm screamed in his thoughts. “ Would you like to read it up from our library?” Glory asked snapping Storm out his thoughts. “ Sure!” Storm said quickly. “ This will keep me from spilling it out.” he thought. Glory spread her wings and dove off the platform. Storm copied her and took off. Animals. Freshwater. Cool breeze.The Rainforest was better than he imagined. “ I could stay here forever.” he said to Glory as he got to her close enough. “ That's what my brother said about the Kingdom of Sand.” she said. She paused for a second. Hovering in mid air then diving downward to a Cube-shaped structure. “ Her brother? A Rainwing? In the Kingdom of Sand? That didn’t sound safe.” Storm thought as he followed the queen. “ Here we are.” Glory said landing in front of its entrance. The Rainwing library was not like anything Storm had seen before! The Scrolls were made up of big rolled up leafs. There where stumps of old trees used as seats and the ink was made of mashed flower petals of about every color!  In the back of the room a Rainwing was sorting out scrolls on a tree like desk. The Rainwing was Dark,Dark Green almost like a Nightwing Black. “ Hello.” he greeted Storm kindly. Storm waved a wing back. “ Hello Ocelot.” The queen said. Glory then turned back to Storm. “ I’ll look for your scroll so you have time to explore” she said before flying to a higher spot in the library. Storm looked around. There was not much to do but learn more about Ocelot. “ Hello, my name is Storm.” Storm said quietly when he approached him. “ Pleasure to meet you. ” he said picking up a leaf scroll titled “MUDWINGS” with black ink and set it down on a wooden basket labeled “ Dragons.” 
“ How did you get to become a librarian?” Storm asked.     “ When this library was finished mother let me work here because I’m good at writing and sorting these books.” he answered. “ Who is your mother?” Storm asked. Ocelot snorted in a funny way. “ Who is your mother?” Storm repeated. Ocelot tilted his head at the queen. “ Glory is my mother.” he said.
Chapter  18
“WHA-” Storm started but Ocelot covered his mouth. “ No loud noises in the library.” he reminded him “ Especially the sounds of a very surprised dragon who found out that I’m the son of the queen.” He removed his talons and Storm burst out. “ But it doesn’t say anything about Glory having a son in the scrolls. “ Rainwing queens from the past to the present.” Ocelot flicked his tail at Glory who was pulling out different scrolls then putting them back into their place. “ I guess it was written before I hatched.” he said tapping his claws on the wooden desk. “ Ocelot, do you have any scrolls on special dragon powers?” Storm asked trying to get his mind off it. “ As a matter of fact I do.” Ocelot said sliding a big leaf across the desk. “ Thanks.” Storm said quietly snatching it up. “ No problem happy reading.” Ocelot said “ I hope you like it.” Storm sat on one of the stumps and rolled up the leaf.

Chapter 20
Storm read the entire scroll a second time. Then a third time. Still no Thunderwings. “ Where is it!?” Storm thought angrily his talons started crackling with electricity. He was about to let loose his lightning when he heard Glory. “ Hi Storm I see you found a scroll to read.” she said. “ Hello your majesty.” Storm said with a bow. Her smile faded a little “ I could not find that book for you but I did find this.” she set another scroll down next to the other one. It was the Special dragons...Volume 2 ! Storms ears perked up. This was probably what he needed! “ Thank you.” he whispered to her. She grinned and flew off leaving Storm with the scroll. He rolled it up and scanned the leaf. He paused at the word Thunderwing. “Found It! ” he called. The Rainwings near him glared “ Ok, let's see what it says.” he said “ Ghost eye Thunderwings can see dragons that died or blocked invisible things by thinking about their name and calm their mind with their eyes closed and they will appear. Otherwise if they are not it will teleport them to the dragons parents(grandparents,Great grandparents and so on) instead. To get back home. A Thunderwing must close their eyes and think of the place they want to go to and they will appear there.” he read out loud. “Well I guess have to go.” he said to Ocelot after he finished. Ocelot grinned while sorting out some scrolls. “Have you found anything interesting to checkout?” he asked. Storm hesitated. It felt rude to walk out without checking out a Scroll. Storm spotted the title of the scroll Ocelot was holding   “ Rainwings volume 4” it seemed like a good thing to learn more about them.” I want to check that one out.” he said pointing at it. Ocelot grinned “Nice choice.” he said “ Can I have your stamp?” Storm checked his neck to make sure the bag he got from Jade mountains library was there and handed the stamp to him. “ Here you go.” he said handing the stamp and the scroll back to him. “ Thanks and I have one more question too.” Storm said “ Does Glory have anymore sons or daughters?” Ocelot tilted his head.“ No, just me and Firefly. But why do you ask?” Storm took a step back “ Uh nothing,bye!” he flew out the door and hid behind the building. “ What is wrong with me? “ Storm questioned himself. He shook his head “Doesn’t matter,I have to get back.” he reminded him. He put the scroll in his pouch and closed his eyes . “ Jade mountain,” he said. Slowly he felt his talons touch smooth stone. He slowly opened his eyes. And the first thing he saw was fire.
Chapter 21
== ==
“YEEP!” Storm leaped back from the blaze. The fire was huge about the size of a dragon. Storm squinted a bit. Was it just him or was there a dragon in there? Storms heart leaped. A dragon was inside the fire! “ But who was in there?”. Then he slapped his forehead “ I’m a snail brain that’s Peril!” Peril lifted her head. “ Storm? How did you get here? We were looking for you everywhere!” she cried. She was about to grab him by the talons but stopped herself. Storm felt heavy inside  “ Err… I ...uh... was reading in the library!” Peril gave him a look that was like half unsure he was telling the truth. Half angry like she was going to kill him because she was looking all over for him ( “Like that would happen.” Storm thought thinking of Clay.) “ Really? Because Firefly said she didn’t see you there.” she said. Storm suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be angry at her. “ You told Splash I loved Firefly.” Storm hissed. Peril hung her head her scales made a  fiery glow in the dark sky “ It's not my fault, Splash used his animus powers to find out because he thought I was hiding something.” she said gloomly. “ I told him to keep it down and he promised so your secrets safe.” she said. Storms suddenly felt his anger soften.” Well I guess it's okay to tell one person.” he said “ It's okay Peril.” She lifted her head and smiled “Thanks Storm now let's go look for the others.” Storm smiled at her probably the way he smiled at Firefly. Storm turned around and then heard a familiar voice. “ Storm?” it asked. Whirling around, Storm found himself in a flurry of colors. Gold! Blue! Rainbow! He found himself in the middle of a giant hug with Splash,Eclipse,and Firefly.
Chapter 22
“ Where were you?” Eclipse said squeezing him.   “ I’m so happy your back!” Firefly cried joyfully. “ We thought you were dead! ” Splash said. “Can’t-Breathe!” choked Storm. Eclipse and Splash immediately let go but Firefly clung on to him. She was surprisingly light for her size and her scales where brighter than Storm could ever imagine! “ We looked everywhere for you but we didn't even see a tiny clue of you!” she said.  “Wow.” Storm thought “ First time I ever seen her that happy.” Storm spotted Splash pick up a green stone clear as glass and handed in to him.“ I think of you guys as my family so I enchanted some stuff for you.” he said. Firefly gave him a concerned look. “ But if you use your powers more you will go crazy!” she cried. Splash waved his talons at her “ Don’t worry! I put my powers in a jar so I wouldn’t turn evil.” he said. “ Its okay Storm! You don’t have to have it. But your friends already chose some amazing things.  Eclipse for example chose a onyx necklace that makes her super fast.” Splash lifted up a scavenger sword. “ This sword allows me to see what someone is going to do before they do it.” Then he pointed at Fireflies wrist that had a Shock flower bracelet tied on her. “ Fireflies flower bracelet allows her to sense danger and know where a dragon is going to attack even with her eyes closed!” He touched the rock that Storm was holding “ Now if you want to what should I enchant the rock to do?” Storm scratched his head “ I could ask him to enchant it to make Firefly love more. Nah, feels like forcing her to love me. I  could ask him to make it a dream visitor . No, that doesn’t sound very interesting plus I just go into dragons dreams and stay awake the entire night. Animus? No. Turn into a Skywing? Nope. Mind reading? Ok...no. Nononono no!” Storm thought angrily. “ This is like one of those wishing well things I’ve read about in-” Storm paused. He had his answer. He was a hundred percent sure about it. “ Enchant it…” he said slowly “ I don’t think it's a good enchantment . he shook his head and finished his sentence “ Enchant it to let me have one wish per day.” 
Chapter 23
Splash gave him a face  that looked like he asked if this world was Phyrria.  “ You sure?” Splash asked “ It can be a little frustrating if you want to do that.” Eclipse brushed her wing against his “ Come on Splash let him have it.” she said warmly. Splash muttered under his breath and sighed. “ Alright I’ll do it.” Right after he finished his talons started glowing  the same color of his blue scales. He brushed it slightly and said “ Rock, make whatever wish once a day come true.” Then there was a slight flash and all the of the glows on Splashes talons slid into the rock. Everyone was silent. Until Peril stepped up making Storm jump. ( He forgotten she was there.)“ What’s going to be your first wish?” she asked. Gazing down at the greenish stone Storm thought of testing it. “ I wish that it will teleport all of us to our caves.” he said. As soon as he finished he found him and Firefly laying on their beds. “ Well what d'ya know it worked!” Firefly cheered silently. “Well I guess I’ll go to sleep night Storm! Try not to snore!” She said before he could talk. Then a second later she was the one snoring! Storm patted his hammock. He was used to Firefly falling asleep and he also knew when she’s asleep you can’t wake her up. Storm curled up into his hammock. He heard dragons snoring and the wind blowing which always kept him awake. But wait he heard something. Not the wind or snores, more of a pitter-patter of footsteps. Storm closed his eyes “ It's just your imagination Storm, just something your thinking about.” he thought. The steps got louder and louder as Storm waited and waited.He turned over in his hammock so he was facing the wall. Then he heard a soft “crrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaak,” as the cave door opened. Storm tried to make himself as small as he could so he wouldn’t be noticed  “ Come on Storm! It's just a dream. Wake up. Wake up. WAKE UP! Maybe that adventure you had was a dream. Maybe I fell asleep in health class again-come on Storm this is your dream. Control it!” He turned around found a very tough looking Nightwing and Mudwing we’re reaching up to grab Firefly!
Chapter 24
Storm launched at the Nightwing his claws reached for his face. The Nightwing jumped back in surprise then thwacked Storm with his tail in the face. Storm was knocked back and the Mudwing jumped next to him his claw aimed at his eyes. Storm felt his lightning rise up his throat and blasted him in the chest. Roaring in pain,the Mudwing stepped back his talon on his chest, paralyzed. The Nightwing roared and blasted fire hard on Storms scales. “ You not getting Firefly!” he thought as he jumped backward to avoid most of the flame. Storm hissed at the Nightwing as he approached him. The Nightwing leaped up to grab Firefly and the Mudwing that quickly recovered pinned Storm down. “ What now?” Storm thought  “ He looks strong...wait a minute.” Now that Storm looked at him he had a pyrite ring on his finger that sparkled in the moonlight. Was was more sparkleir than a normal pyrite. It looked enchanted. It had to be. Just as the Nightwing grabbed Fireflies forearm. Storm dug his talons into the Mudwings talon and ripped of the ring. The Mudwing shrieked like a spider monkey,suddenly started to get all skinny around the arms and legs and the Nightwing let go of 
Fireflies arm and howled with fury. “ Ah-ha! He’s not strong at all! Its the the ring makes him strong but he actually is the weakest dragon I ever seen.” Storm slid it into his own talons his wings and arms slowly grew bigger muscles! “ Now whos the strong one?” Storm thought looking at the Nightwing. The Nightwing charged at him slamming into his chest. Nothing. Storm grinned and shoved him into the wall. The Nightwing got up and leaped up again his talons reached for his ring. “ Man this guy won't give up.” Storm thought as he clawed him. Then he realized that his ring slipped off as he did and all his muscles shrink back normal. The Mudwing reached for the ring then he paused and lifted up his head. The Nightwing did the same. Storm heard it too. His friends were coming. The Nightwing glared at him and quickly shoved Storm into his hammock. Then he grabbed the Mudwing and ran out of the cave. Storm noticed something  just as they ran out of the cave. There was a poisonous barb. 
Chapter 25
“ A Sandwing tail?!” How was that even possible?!” Storm panicked. Splash grabbed his talons with his “ Storm calm down it will be fine.” Splash said but even his voice sounded a bit nervous. “ How can I calm down? I can’t let Firefly be captured! I love her too much for her to be dead!” Storm was glad Firefly wasn’t hearing this right now and he took a backward glance at her. “ We don’t even know if they were going to kill her!” Peril shot back. “ And you don’t even know that either!” Storm snapped. Peril gave him a surprised look and closed her mouth and opened it a few times. “ Storm. Are you okay?” Splash said with a bit of confusion “ It's like you’ve been taken over by Perils mom.”  Peril shot him a glare making splash giggle a bit. “ I’m fine.” Storm said through his gritted his teeth. Peril looked behind him. “ Hey! there's something sparkling over there!” She cried. She jumped over him barely hitting his head with her tail and reached for the ring but paused for a minute. “ No!” Storm roared slashing at her. She leaped back as he came crashing down. “ Storm! Flaming scales that can kill you. Remember?” she said. “ Liar! “ he hissed lashing his tail. He turned and saw Splash holding up the ring. He hissed and prepared himself for the opportunity to kill Splash when he paused and clutched his head roaring. It felt like his brain was being torn in half. Then it stopped. “ What... just...happened?” he said quietly. Splash lifted up the ring. “ This ring was enchanted to give dragons incredible strength but it also makes them forget about somethings,turn short tempered, and care mostly about those they love.” he said “ I enchanted it to not do that and instead enchant it to give you powers of a Nightwing instead and the effect to wear off.” Storm hung his head. “ Sorry about that.” he said looking at the  ground. Splash and Peril where at the caves entrance suddenly. “ Don’t feel bad Storm the magic made you do that.” Peril said. Splash looked back and put the ring on Storms hammock. “Here, you can have it.” he said. “ And I won’t take no for an answer. Sleep well Storm.” A moment later they were gone leaving Storm in his cave. He glanced at Firefly and whispered “ Good night Firefly.” For a moment Firefly turned Rose pink and then it faded. Storm curled up into his hammock and let his eyes droop until he was fast asleep.
Chapter 26
“IT’S MORNING!” Firefly sang leaping of her hammock. “ ACK! ” Storm yelped falling of his own hammock landing flat on his face. Firefly laughed and helped him up. “ She’s touching me-my scales against hers-that's not-wy is she-?” he quickly pulled his talons back before feeling a sharp pain on his snout and put his talons on it. “ Oh, your poor snout hurts from the fall anything I can do for you?” she said quietly to not wake up other dragons. “ Fu stwaters you cam stup supwising bee.” Storm said plugging his nose so the pain would stop. Firefly tilted her head. “ I don’t know what that means but okay!” she said cheerfully “ But that doesn’t matter it's almost time for sun time !” Storm took a backward glance at his hammock.           “ Firefly,I found this yesterday.” he said picking up the ring. Firefly smiled “ Wow! Cool did Splash enchant it? What did he enchant it to do?” Storm glanced at the ring then back at her. “ It gives the dragon who wears it Nightwing powers even though it doesn’t exist anymore.” he replied . “OOOOO!” That sounds super smart for an animus to do I hope Splash is okay.” she said bouncing up and down. “ Does that mean she loves Splash?” Storm thought scanning her face for signs “ I hope not. It would be cute if they did but...I love her and I do not want to lose her. It's not time for romance right now.” he scolded himself He quickly turned to Firefly who was now a gold like color that probably meant really happy. “ He’s fine.” Storm said then he lifted up the ring “ Want me to test it out?” he asked. Fireflies color was now even brighter “ Yes! I’m so excited!” He slipped the ring onto his left claw. Nothing. “ What’s it going to do?” said Fireflies voice. Storm stared down at her. “ Nothings happening yet.” he replied. For a second her talons turned green then it faded back.  “ You read my mind!” she said. “ I did?” he said confused. “ I think if you look at someone you can hear their thoughts!” she said the expression on her face was like she was putting together the pieces of a puzzle together. “ Can you see the future?” she asked before taking a quick look back to see if everyone was awake. “Ok.” Storm said. He closed his eyes just like when he used his ghost eye powers. He heard a piercing scream and opened his eyes. The corpse of a Firefly,Splash,and Eclipse laying right before him.  
Chapter 27 
Storm shrieked horrified of the sight. He tried to touch them but his body didn’t move an inch. He looked down at his chest realizing he had no chest. He took another glance at the corpses wishing he hadn’t. Splash was covered in dark soot and his tail was on fire he had a huge hole in his back that poured blood a bit at a time. Eclipses chest had a huge claw mark on her chest her wings were laid out crookedly and half of her tail was sliced off. Fireflies was the worst. Her tail,wings and talons where almost torn of entirely and her head was lolling on one side. Storm nearly cried hard “ This will be in the future I’ll never see Fireflies sweet face, hear Splashes voice,and feel Eclipses wings in the fu-” he stopped thinking  for a moment. Splashes body had two wings instead of one. Eclipses scales where the color of gold not sandy white..And Firefly didn’t have the dots on her wings like she always had ever since he met her. “ This is not my friends.” Storm thought relieved “ I’m just seeing the future of different dragons. “ THUMP!” A Nightwing landed on the left of him making Storm's heart fall through the floor. Storm suddenly found himself in the forest surrounded by dragons. “Blizzard,Starflight,Sunny,Clay,Glory,Tsunami,Iceberg,Jaguar, Fatespeaker,Sandshifter,Falcon…” Storm thought trying to remember the names of the ones he saw. Then in front of him he found him and all his friends standing a few feet away from the Nightwing. He was arguing with Splash about something while Eclipse and Firefly gave them worried looks. He looked for Peril and spotted her shuffling close to Clay for comfort which Storm barely saw before he twisted his  eyes back at them. Suddenly his vision started going dark. “ NO!” Storm thought “ I need to see what's happening next. Of course, it did not stop. Storm was thrown out of the vision. The last thing he saw was Splash hurling himself at the Nightwing. Storm found himself back in the cave with Firefly. And the ring at his talons. 
Part Three 
The truth
Chapter 28
== ==
“ Woah. I never seen you that shade of blue before. You’ve must of been spooked really bad.” Firefly said looking gazing at him from head to tail. Storm looked down at himself. He was Icewing white. “ I really need to stop that.” Storm thought. “ Did you see something Scary? How scary? What did you see? Did you see anything about you in the future? What about me? Or Splash? Or Eclipse? How bout Peril?” she chatted non stop when he didn’t answer. Storm didn’t mind her chatter much. If she wanted to talk super fast he would to.  “Isawthreecorpsesthatlookedlikeyou,Splash,andEclips-ethenaNightwinglandednexttomebutIcouldn’tseehimmuchbecauseIcouldnotmmovetheneverythingturnedintotheforestandIsaweveryonewatchingusandthenightwinguntilSplashtackledhimandtheneverythingdissapearedsoIgotveryveryscaredasyouknow.You know?” Firefly tilted her head “ What?”. Storm chuckled “ Thought you’d say that.” he said. Firefly laughed. “ No really.What did you say?” Storm looked up at the caves ceiling. “ I didn’t say anything.” he said innocently. Firefly punched him in the arm. “ Don’t give me innecont voice.” she said.                                     “ BONG!BONG!BONG! Went the gong. Firefly flapped her wings“ Yikes! We have three minutes to get to the forest.” Storm nudged her with his wing “ Like you’d ever be late.” he said. Wait, did Fireflies wing turn pink for a second? Storm squinted at her wings a bit so his radiation eyes could adjust darkness. “ Storm? You okay?” Firefly said. Storm's heart bounce. He could feel the pale blue trying to crawl out but he stamped it out quickly so it could not be seen by Firefly. “ I… just can’t see you in the dark.” he said trying to sound honest but not let her now he loved her. BONG! BONG! Firefly flapped her wings again. “ Lets go!” she said flying out the door before Storm could say a word. He took a backward glance at his bed. Storm quickly ripped of his blanket and grabbed the pyrite ring. Then he looked under his bed and took his pouch and slipped it on then opening it.The library stamp and the Rainwing scroll where already in there and there was plenty enough space for the ring. Finally he took of his pillow and slipped the rock into the pouch as well.        “ Time for sun time!” Storm thought. He ran out of the cave to the direction of the hole to the forest. As he flew down the hall a MudWing accidentally stepped on his wing. “Argh!” the Thunderwing cried. “Sorry.” he said without looking back at him. Storm got up “ Its fine Alligator. So how ya doin?” he said weakly. Alligator muttered something and stomped off. “ Well that was rude of him.” Storm thought. He tried to spread his left wing but a sharp pain shot through it causing him to close it. “ I can’t fly without it.” Storm thought. “ Guess I’ll have to walk.” he grumbled. The crowd of dragons was killing him but he made it before the last gong rang. “ Okay, here we go.” Storm thought gazing down at the forest floor which seemed so far away. “ I’m going to have to find out how to get do-” suddenly, two cold talons shoved Storm off the Rainforest entrance! “AHHHHHHHHH!” Storm screamed. He turned around in mid air to see who shoved him. It was the Ice squad. 
Chapter 29
== ==
“Ice squad!” Storm thought “ I thought those guys were bad enough! There's no time for that I have to not die and fast!” But nothing worked! Flapping his wings only made it worse. Trying to grab branches made them snap. And calling for help was no use in the noisy forest. He was running out of time! “ What do I do? I did everything I thought of. If only I could set of some sort of-” Storm got an idea. He realized that he was calling for help but not as loud as a thunder roar. A thunder roar was a Thunderwing roar that was a normal roar but ten times louder. Storm couldn’t really control his lightning. But he surely could control his voice! Storm opened his mouth. Took a huge breath. “RRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!”  The roar echoed across the Rainforest. Surely one dragon heard it. SIlence. He swung in every direction. Nobody. “ That's it. I guess I’ll die or end up with a broken tailbone.” Storm thought. The ground was now so close Storm could smell the flowers. He was about to hit his flowery grave when someone grabbed his wings. Splash and Eclipse! “ You okay?” Splash said beating his wings harder to lift him up. “ Ow.Ow.Ouch.Ow.OUCH” Splash quickly softened his grip on his wing that closed around Storms left wing. “ There.” Eclipse said as they landed him softly on a giant branch. “ You okay?” Splash said studying his left wing. “ Looks like you sprained it.” Eclipse said touching the wing lightly. “ Alligator stepped on it when I was going to the Rainforest. It hurts really bad especially if I open it. But with your scales producing heat it hurts less. They are hurting less and am I getting a sense of deja vu?”. Eclipse got near him a little to help his wing while Splash searched the branch for something he could enchant to heal him. “ What kind of tree is this tree?” Storm asked Eclipse “ It's the thickest,widest,and largest kind I’ve ever seen.” Eclipse put one of her talons on his wing and sighed.“ It's the Wings of Shadow one out of the four largest trees in the Phyrria” she said. “ What are the other ones called?” he questioned tapping his claws on the dark bark. “ The other three are called Wings of light,Wings of Death,and the final one is unknown. But it's said that it was found when the war ended.” she replied moving her talons across his wing. Storm arched his back and stretched out into a comfortable way to make it easier for her to run her talons down his wing. “ When where the others grow?” Storm asked. Eclipse snorted.“ Wow,you're very talkative today. The Wings of Shadow was born when Darkstalker was free. Its seed was dropped by the unknown one when he made the earth shake.The Wings of light was made when he was transformed into Peacemaker. One of the Wings of Shadows seeds dropped and some of the animus magic touched it when Darkstalker ate the berry And finally the Wings of Death was made when the Wings of light when Tree wars in Pantala ended.” There was a sound of claws on bark and they heard Splashes voice. “ The Wings of Shadow grows bigger when a Nightwing is born in the moonlight. The Wings of light grows when a war ends. And the Wings of Death grows when dragons die.” Storm and Eclipse turned around to find Splash on the branch. “ Woah,you know more about it then I do.” Eclipse laughed. Splash gave her a serious look. “ When the trees all grew and a new darkness came and new prophecy was written.    
Chapter 29 
“Prophecy?” Eclipse echoed. “ Uh, Thunderwings don’t believe in those.” Storm said. “ Just listen.” Splash said. 
The dragon of death is coming
The life of the world is running
Unless the dragonets are found
The world will fall beneath ground.
To find the wings of Sea
The rainforest is where it will be
For the wings of thunder search through the rubble
The wings of rain look for a double
For the wings of sky search for the flames
And a dragon with a troubled name
The dragonets will show what’s right
Or end the chaos with a fight
The dragonets need to turn the hate...
or all of Pyrrhia will meet its fate.
Storm’s eyes widened “ Wings of thunder? In the rubble? My egg was laid in a stronghold during the war between Nightwings and Thunderwings. It was destroyed in the war and my mom and dad thought my egg was crushed. Turns out that the fire made my shell turn stronger.” Eclipse gasped “ Maybe your the wings of thunder!” Splash nodded “ He is the wings of thunder and I’m the wings of sea.” Storm met his eyes. “ Me,Splash,and two other dragons are going to stop a dragon of death from killing everyone?” he thought. “Hold on a minute.” Eclipse said. “ Why did your parents have you in the forest?” Storm saw Splash shuffled his talons uncomfortaly. “ He’s going to let his secret out.” Storm guessed. “ My mom, Seahorse, travels around Phyrria because she wants to learn more about it. One day when she explored the Rainwing kingdom she met this
Rainwing,Parrot,My…father.” he drooped his wings a bit. “So she-” Eclipse started. “  Had an egg, me A Rainwing-Seawing mix.” Splash finished. “ I thought if I told you guys you would laugh at me or you’d abandon me as a friend.” Eclipse stepped towards him and twined her tail with his making Storm feel a twinge of jealousy. “ We’d never do that ever.” she said. Splash smiled then quickly faded. “ There was nothing I could find to enchant for you. The trees bark and leafs were unable to be pulled of and anything near it was anchored into the ground.” He took a quick glance at Storms pouches. “ Maybe you have something in your pouch that I could enchant?” Storm immediately buried his snout in the pouch. The ring and jade-green stone where only enchanted and Ocelot probably wouldn’t be happy to have his scroll back enchanted. That left only one more thing. “Enchant this.” he said pulling out of his library stamp.
Chapter 30
== ==
Splash didn’t need to be told twice. He took the stamp and enchanted it. “ Ok, here it goes.” Splash placed the card on his wing moving in back and forth. Storms wing felt like it a giant iron ball was moving inside his wing. A few moments later he passed it back to Storm. “ That's all. Give it a try.” Storm spread his wings. No pain. He flapped his wings once. The twice. Then he started to hover above them. Then he zoomed away. Dodging trees,loop-de-looping,and spinned. Then he went above the trees and dove down. He opened his mouth and sparks of electric jumped. Finally he sped up and let it loose. A earsplitting electric sonic boom blasted through the canopy. All the sleeping dragons jerked their heads up startled. Storm flapped down to the branch Splash and Eclipse were. “ I your animus powers worked Splash,” Storm said. “Splash?” Splash did not respond. Instead he had his talons over his ears. “ Ow,” he moaned “ Ow.Ow.Ow.Ow.Ow.”  Eclipse pried open one of his talons. His ear was redder than ever. “ Sorry Splash.” Storm said “ My sonic booms usually give dragons close to it a earache because it zaps one of their ears muscles. Splash wasn’t listening. He was still clamping on to his ears and batted Eclipses talons away when she tried to pierce his talons away again. “ Will he die?” Eclipse asked worried. “ I don’t know. This is the third time I done it and nobody ever-” A howl of pain interrupted him. Splash collapsed on the ground twitching violently. Eclipse went sandy white. “ He’s going to die!” she yelled. “ Eclipse calm down he’s not going to die.” Splash howled again. This time part of his body stopped moving. “What's happening?!” Eclipse screamed sounding close to tears. Storm felt as terrified as she was “ He’s paralyzed. I don't think he can breath so-” That was all Eclipse needed to hear. She grabbed his talons with hers and pressed them close. “ Do something!” she yelled. Storm had no idea but then it hit him. He tore open his pouch and flung everything out of it. “Hurry!” Eclipse sobbed the paralyzing was now marching up Splashes throat. Storm grabbed something smooth and yanked it out. He didn’t even look at it and pressed it close. “ I wish Splash would live.” he said quickly. The energy of the stone flew brushed past him. Storm turned around. Splash was completely still. “ No.” his heart sank into his stomach. Eclipse let go of his talons and collapsed on the branch sobbing. “ Splash.” Storm brushed his wing softly with his own. “ My best friend is...dead.” Storm could not believe it. “ He was the wings of sea. He was all of are friend. He was an animus. He was my best friend. And he’s dead because of me. I’m never. Ever.Ever. doing a Sonic boom again.” Then. Through all those thoughts. Was a question. “ Why didn’t the stone work?” Storm glanced at Eclipse who was still crying then at Splashes body. At the corner of his eye something happened. “ Eclipse.” Storm said softly. The dragonet raised her head. Her face was covered in tears. Then it stopped. She got up and walked over to Splashes body. She ran a claw down his chest and then gazed at his ear. The red was gone.  And Splashes chest was rising and falling.“ He’s...alive.” she whispered clutching his talons again. “ He fainted Eclipse. The stone saved him.” Storm said. Eclipses mouth cornered into a smile. “ Thanks.” she said. “ I’ll take him to Clay. I owe you.” Storm faked a smile “Ok.” Eclipse turned back to Splash and picked him up. “ I feel a tinge of jealousy. Does that mean… I love Eclipse the way I love Firefly?”
Chapter 31
== ==
“ But I can’t be. It just can’t be.” Storm thought. “ I love Firefly. Eclipse is just a friend.” But another voice in his mind was whispering.” She’s the one you love.” Over and over again in his mind. Storm flew down to a pong and poked the water. “ Forget about that. I'm hungry. And i’m sick of fruit.” Then a deer appeared out of the trees. Storm Immediately  launched at it. The deer sprang up and tried to get away but Storms super sense of smell was able to track it down. He dove into a bush and peered out. The deer now was eating some grass which gave him the perfect opportunity to attack. He leaped into the air and landed on it at lightning speed. It belated and tried to hit him with its hooves but Storms scales were like diamonds. “ Stop moving!” Storm hissed. The goat started struggling even more. “Ok,you asked for it.” Storm thwacked his tail on the deers behind. It yelped and froze. The Storm let it go and the deer ran away but its paralyzed back legs slowed it down. Storm then grabbed it slicing through its back twice. It cried out in pain trying to escape. Storm shook it and then crushed it onto the side of the tree. It belated weakly so Storm crushed on the tree again. When it stopped moving Storm set it down to eat. “ I wonder how Splash is doing.” he thought tearing of a chunk of meat. “ I cannot believe I almost killed him.” Storm swallowed. The meat felt like a giant worm sliding down his throat then a rich tasty flavor.“ I’m not hungry anymore.” he said to himself shoving the deer corpse away. “ What do you see?” Storm froze. He swung his head left and right. “ Nothing much. His mind has a weak force field around it. All he thinks about is this Rainwing named Firefly and how he almost killed a dragon named Splash.” Storm turned around. “ Shh! I think he heard you.” Storm turned back to the deer corpse and pretended to eat it. “ He didn’t hear me fool!” Storm turned to the deers left leg and tried to pull it off. The leg stayed put. “ This is one tough leg to chew.” Storm thought yanking on it harder. “ He thought this leg was hard to chew.” a voice whispered. Now that it was closer Storm thought it sounded a lot like a Nightwing but that was not important. The leg finally tore off. Storm fell backwards and his bag popped open. “ Hey, his bag fell off. Lets see what he has. He has a useless rock. A dumb scroll about those stupid Rainwings. A library stamp- Hey! Isn’t that my ring!” Storm choked on the last bit of the leg. Trying not to think about anything.   “ Well what are you waiting for! Lets kill him!” Storm’s head jerked up.“ Oh no.” He turned around just in time to see A Nightwing and Mudwing-Sandwing hybrid jump out of the bushes.
Chapter 32
The Nightwing seized his talons and the hybrid shot a blazing fire at him. Storm leaped out of the Nightwings way. Santched up the ring. Then shielding himself by a giant stone to avoid the fire. “ Guys! Calm down! The ring doesn’t give you strength anymore!” he wanted to say but that would make them madder. The Mudwing-Sandwing landed on the stone his claws dug into it. “ Snake! Pin him down!” the Nightwing yelled.  The hybrid who was called Snake hissed at him “ I am doing it Soulshifter! But now he knows congratulations!” He blasted another flame at Storm. He ducked and then thwacked his tail on Snakes chest making him fall backwards. Storm tried to leap off the rock to land on him but two talons yanked him back. “ Don’t move and this won’t hurt.” Soulshifter hissed pointing a claw at Storms chest. “ You too!” Storm replied. He inhaled and exhaled and bolt of lightning into his face. Soulshifter roared in agony and leaped off him. Storm got up and struck him in the face. He raised his claw again but Snake who recovered shoved him into Soulshifter. He laughed at him like Storm just ran into a tree twenty times in a row. Storm jumped out of the way and landed on his back. Snake struggled to get off so Storm thwacked his tail on him. He yelped and stopped moving. The Thunderwing opened his mouth to speak but suddenly Snake flung him off his back and bit him on the leg. Storm shrieked and a sharp pain stabbed through his entire arm. Snake maked his next move swinging his talons at him causing him to go flying and crashing onto a tree trunk. “ My turn.” Storm thought ignoring the pain in his claw and head. Snake and Soulshifter now we're flinging all the items he dropped from his bag and tearing down all the bushes to search for his ring. When Soulshifter saw him his eyes widened. Storm slipped on the ring and dove in. “ Like Splashes scavenger sword. Seen before done.” Storm crashed into the Nightwing before he could speak. Like Snake he struggled then he paused. “ Use your claws then yout tail.” said his mind. Storm leaned back as he clawed at him then forward when he used his tail. Soulshifter gave him a surprised look then he looked at the ring. “ The ring! his mind creid. “ Sna-!” Storm grabbed his mouth and closed it but Snake heard him. Snake dove at him aiming for his heart with his barb. Storm leaped at him and shoved the tail away with his. Snake swiftly grabbed the ring. And slammed into Storm. Landing near the pond Storm leaped up to see Soulshifter flying away. Snake spread his wings too. “Oh no you don’t.” Storm thought. He threw himself at Snake and clawed his vulnerable spot on the tail. He howled with pain. Then he turned around and charged into him then flying after Soulshifter. “ I'm not letting you get away!” Storm tossed spreading his wings to fly after them. 
Chapter 33
The chase was on!  Vines smacked into Storm snout as he chased them.  “ Not going to keep me from chasing them he thought. Soulshifter was fast and did all sorts of spins to make him dizzy. Snake flapped his wings three times per second to speed up. Storm was flapping as fast as he could but he could not keep up. He grew tired and collapsed   a nearby branch. “ I almost got them. Now they escaped and I lost them.” His eyes drooped when a ray of sun hit his back. “Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to take a nap. After all it doesn’t make him stronger.It will just make him read minds.” Before Storm could think of any negative thoughts he fell asleep.
Storm was under Thunders wing slowly peeking out. “  i'm scared mommy.” he said taking a step back. “ What if I will miss you?” Thunder gazed down at him. “ You will be fine my little dragonet. You’ll have friends to give you company. “ But what if I don’t make a friend?” Storm squeaked. “ Storm, I feel like you'd be friends with the next dragonet that comes down. Look! Here comes one now.” Storm looked up. A Rainwing just landed  beside a Seawing. “ Hello Queen Glory! Think your dragonet is ready for Jade mountain academy?” A Rainwing dragonet with similar coloring to queen Glory appeared beside her mother. “ My name is Firefly.” she said shyly.” Glory nodded “I think Firefly will be ready today. She just might be a little shy at first.” Storm didn’t what the Seawing said in reply. He just stared at the princess. “ Woah! She’s gorgeous!” Storm thought. Thunder followed his gazed and nudged him with her wing. “ Why don’t you talk to her?” Storm gulped “ But she's royalty.” 
“ And your both dragons.” Thunder added.”Mommy does make a good point.” he thought. Storm took a step towards Firefly.Then another. He took another and another until he was right next to her. She seemed to not notice him. “ Hi.” he said making her jump. She opened and closed her mouth a few times then took a few steps closer to her mother. “ Don’t worry I don’t bite. My name is Storm and I like your color. You look almost exactly like your mom.” Firefly stared at him for a moment. “ Th-thanks. I-i’m f-f-Firefly.” Storm decided to go a bit gentler. “Am I actually trying to be her friend?” a voice said but Storm shoved it away. “ Hey. Your going to be fine. Nobody else will bite you.” Firefly looked more terrified. “ Wanna be friends? I never had one before.” Firefly took a step towards him then paused. “ I don’t want to go.” she said quietly “ I just want to learn about Phyrria. Storm scratched the dirt for a moment then said “ I don’t want to go to either. But my mom said that If you make friends you’ll have company when your scared.” Firefly look a little less scared. She took another step and another and another until she was standing right in front of him. “ She seems really nice when you get to know her.” Storm thought. “Want to hang out in the library later?” Storm asked “ What am I saying? She’s never going to say-” 
“ Sure!” Firefly wrapped her arms around him. Then she quickly let go and bounded over to her mother leaving Storm to walk over to his mom with a open mouth. “ She hugged me!?” he thought the entire time. Thunder smiled  “ Looks like you made a friend.” Storm grinned a bit. “ I feel weird feeling inside.Like I want to be with Firefly forever. What is this feeling?” Thunder eyes widened. “ STORM! Wake up!” Storm woke up he did. His heart disappeared into darkness as he saw Soulshifter blast Firefly with a giant dark explosion.
Chapter 34
“Firefly! No!” Storm shrieked. He didn’t wait for the smoke to clear he jumped right in. “ Firefly! Oh no…” Peril dove right in but paused when her tail almost brushed the branch. Storm pointed at where Soulshifter flew off.     “ SOmeone hurt her they went that way!” Peril stayed her ground. “ I’m not leaving you here. To cry about her death.” she said. “ She is not dead.” Storm replied. Peril tipped one wing at the smoke. There laying in the smoke was Firefly. “ Firefly.” Storm thought in horror. He brushed a claw over her. Then checked if she was breathing. “ She’s not moving and not breathing. She’s actually dead.” Heaviness flew through him until a tear slid down his cheek. “ I always loved her. I always wanted to tell her that. But now...I can’t. She’s dead forever.”  Storm closed his eyes “ Spirits. Please help.” It didn’t work. Storm was to horrified. “ Storm...i’m so sorry.” Peril whispered. Storm did not hear her. Instead he wrapped his talons around her. “ Storm what are you doing?” Storm lifted up into the air holding Fireflies body in his back talons and flapped gently down to the ground. He placed Firefly in the soft ground and fell silent his wings drooped along with his head. Peril flapped beside him not saying anything either. Memories flashed through Storms head about Firefly. He closed his eyes again. “ Spirits. Please help.” he thought. Nothing. He spread his body across the grass closing his eyes and sighed.“Sssssssshhhhhhhhhing!” Storm opened his eyes. “ By all the thunder what was that?” Storm asked Peril. “ I didn’t hear anything.” she said startled. Storm felt scared for a minute then he knew what was happening. He closed his eyes. “Ssssssssshhhhhing!” A blot of thunder appeared twisting and turning. “ Ssshhhh.Kshh        ,ejkhhhh” It twisted into a circle then explode. Storm was scared but he kept his eyes closed. “ I think this was from the spirits.” he thought. The explosion cleared and turned into a cave with a blue dragon and a green one. “ That's me and Firefly.” he thought astonished. Firefly set down a dead snake in front of him. “ Try to shock it back to life.” she said. Her words echoed in Storms mind. The vision twisted back into darkness. Storm opened his eyes. “ I know what to do.” Storm said standing up. Peril looked confused. “ Do what?” she asked. “ How to bring her back to life.” Storm answered. Perils eyes widened “ You don’t mean-” she started. “ Yes,”  Storm said grabbing Firefly with his bak talons. I'm going to shock her back to life.”
Chapter 35
== ==
“ But Storm! You never shocked anything back to life!” Peril credit. “ Do you have a better idea?” he asked. Peril paused for a second then scowled and fell silent. Storm touched her tail and closed his eyes. “ This won’t work!” hissed a voice in his head “ You’ll just make things worse!” Sharp electricity came up his arm. “It will work.” he thought “ Firefly will live.But what if she doesn’t?” The lightning got larger. “ Calm your mind. In and out.” Storm inhaled through his snout then exhaled out his mouth.” The electricity calmed down and flowed into his talons. “ Make a slow jolt. Do not worry. Firefly is not going to die on my watch.” Storm opened his closed talons and let out a slow jolt. Firefly did not move. “ Don’t give up.” his mind rang out. He tried again this time a little more lightning. Fireflies body twitched but then became still again. “ One more time.” he thought. “It's not going to work!” a sharp voice in his head roared. Storm shot a huge bolt on her tail causing some of it to turn into ashes. Storms tail dropped. “ It didn’t work.” Fireflies body laid still. A bit of her tail was gone. Storm turned around and walked  away from the body.“ I can’t believe my jolt didn’t work. I did it perfectly but Firefly-”“Storm?” he froze. “ Is-is that you?” Storms whole body filled with light. “ Firefly!” he cried turning around to see her laying in the grass. (She may have lived but her tail was badly wounded and was probably going to be scarred for her entire life but it didn’t matter.) “Firefly!” Peril yelped “How-?” Storm didn’t listen. “ It worked! It actually worked!” he sang bouncing around her. Firefly looked confused. “ What worked?” she asked. Storm quickly explain what he did and by the time he finished Firefly was able to stand up. “ You saved me? Wy?” Storm almost turned dark blue with embarrassment. “ Should I tell her? I don’t feel ready for it.” he looked and Peril for help. She gave him a it's-your-choice-not-mine look. “ I saved her. I earned it. She needs to know.” Storm inhaled and exhaled through his mouth and snout again. “ Firefly. I saved you because-” he choked on the words and  stopped for a second. “ I’m listening.” she said tilting her head. “ I love you!” he blurted. Firefly blinked a few times. “ You're all I think about and I always want to be with you it hurts when i’m not. I think your a dragon that sees me the whole way I am and likes me-” “Storm.” Firefly said camly. “ This is it. She's going to say she hates me or she never wants to be with me she’ll say something like-” “I love you too.” she said with a smile.
Chapter 36
“ You love me?!” Storm asked shocked. “ Why wouldn’t I? Your very nice to us and I think your pretty funny.” she said with a laugh. “ I always loved you since you ever talked you me.” Peril coughed making Storm give her a Go-away look. She flapped her wings and disappeared into the forest entrance. Firefly gave him another warm smile. “ Storm. I feel like I always needed you. I always wanted to be next to you so...will you please protect me? Like you said when we met.”  Storm looked into her eyes. “ When I say yes-or if I say yes. Everything will change. I’ll be one of the dragons who have a girlfriend. Like Seal and Blizzard. Stargazer and Mindtwister.Cacti and Heatwave.Heron and Scallop. Do I deserve a dragon like her? Am I ready?” Storm knew the answer to that. He saved her life. He told her he would protect her. He fought for his life for her. “ I was always ready.” He folded his wings. His embarrassment was no longer in control. He was calm. All his problems evaporated into nothingness “ I will Firefly. No matter what.” Firefly twined her tail with his. It turned pink as she did. “ Awesome.” she said. “Awesome.” he agreed smiling back. She flapped her wings and rose into the air to fly away he turned back to fly onto a branch but she pulled him back and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. A moment later Storm found himself flying over to the Wings of Shadow. Surprised that he wasn’t surprised that Firefly kissed him.  What just happened kept replaying in his mind over and over again for the entire day. Later that night Eclipse,Peril and Firefly decided to go hunting that night so Storm was all alone. But that didn’t bother him. The thought of his friends always made him feel like they were right next to him. “ I can’t wait to tell my friends what happened tomorrow.” he thought tucking his bag under his hammock. “ Well, Splash and Peril are the only one who knows but that's fine.” He took out his stone a realized that it was the same color of Fireflies eyes. “ Woah! I can’t believe that I never noticed that! How could I-? THUNK!” Something bashed into the back of Storms head knocking him to the ground. Everything started to fade. Then. As the entire world became nearly black a voice spoke. “ Nighty-night Thunderwing. Take your last breath because the prophecy will soon be crushed.” Then everything-the Ghost eye,his fears,the prophecy,Firefly and Splash,and everything that happened faded away. And Storm fell into darkness, darker than the deepest hole.

Epilogue
“ Why isn’t this working!? It's supposed to make you super strong!” Soulshifter hissed. Snake shrugged “ I just keep hearing your thoughts instead.” Snake yelped as Soulshifter yanked it of and hurled it of the cliff. “ There. Its gone.” Soulshifter huffed. Snake didn’t seem to mind which was one reason why Soulshifter hated him. “ Is that an Icewing?” looking over his shoulder, squinting . Soulshifter looked up then he snarled at him. “You idiot! That's Soulmelters messenger Frostbite!” The Icewing landed on the edge almost falling off. “ Message from the ice squad!” he squeaked “Soulmelter wants to have a word.” He squeaked. Soulshifter immediately shot into the air.
A few minutes later he landed at Soulmelters hut. Snake landed beside him wheezing loudly. Soulshifter rolled his eyes and opened the door. “Dad?” he called. “Over here.” Soulmelters voice rumbled. Soulshifter spotted him at the balcony. At least he called it a balcony. The balcony was nothing but a crumbly cliff. “ Did you find the dragonets.” he hissed flicking his tail to knock a boulder of the cliff. “ Yes dad.” he answered. “ Did you kill them?” he answered. “ We killed one.” Snake piped up. Soulshifters dead-like eyes snagged Snakes. “ Did you? Because I see in your mind all of them locked up.” Snake gulped “Well-I-I Didn’t kill her-uh-Soulshifter-um-used his powers to kill her-” Soulmelter stabbed a claw into his chest making him yelp in pain. Slowly,Snake started to collapse into the floor. “Oooooorgh.” he moaned. “How’d you-?” Soulshifter started before he got interrupted when Soulmelter hooked Snake up with the sharp spike on his tail and hurled him of the cliff. Soulmelter flexed his talons then checked his tail for blood then stamped his talon on the floor causing it to crack. “ You know about the dragon of death?” he asked. Soulshifter nodded. “ Thats me.” Soulmelter said. He opened his mouth to speak but his dad interrupted. “ I don’t want to hear you speak until you meet your new killer.” He thumped the ground making another crack. A Seawing stepped out of the shadows. Or at least Soulshifter thought it was a Seawing. It looked like one...but it was red. “This is Vapor. Now go. I don’t want to see you again until they are all captured.”  Soulshifter tilted his head “ Now he’s changing his plans? Huh. that's new.” He walked out the door and Vapor followed. “ Once these dragonets are captured I’ll kill them.Then those stupid so called Dragonets of destiny. And finally the queens. And nobody can stop me.” he lashed his tail. “ After all. Who can fight an animus. A Mind Reader and Invincible Nightwing rolled into one?”
