Moonlight's Broken Promise

==Prologue: The Begining of The Promise==
:
Moonlight promised herself that she wouldn't let anyone hurt her friends.
An older NightWing named Bigstar had his last year in the dormitory. Bigstar pushed his way through some dragonets and walked up to Moonlight and her friends, Goldenstar, Nightlight, Bigbrain, Blackstar, Lightstar, Nightdarkness and Shine. He stood above the 5 year old dragonets, laughed and pushed them all into the wall. She remembered when her older brother Strongnight was less then 10, when her big brother was like an older brother to everyone and how Bigstar would never be bully to anyone while he was around. But he had to get up say goodbye and leave.
"Hah you puny little cowards, can't even fight back when someone fights you!" Bigstar said as he laughed at them. All of a sudden Moonlight got up and shook off the sand she had on and said
"Hey! You don't push around me and my friends like that!"
"Oh yeah! What are you going  to do Punylight? What stomp on my toes? Or tell me what 20x20 equals?" Bigstar laughed.
"No! and you just proved I have a higher intellect than you since you don't even know 20x20." Moonlight dared to say. By then every dragonet was staring at her in disbelief.
"What did you say Punylight?" Bigstar said his nostrils flaring.
"I said you will never have as much intelligence as me ." Moonlight said looking the big dragon right in the eye.
"Why you little!" Bigstar said bringing down his fist on the little dragonet.
Moonlight easily dodged it and tripped the bigger dragon, obviously winning and she knelt down and said "And I don't ever want to see you treating any other dragon like dirt!"
Bigstar got up, went to his bunk and stared at the wall unable to face the others after being beaten by a smaller dragon.
==Chapter 1==
A large NightWing entered Moonlight and her friends room, that they shared with some other NightWing dragonets. He said that his name was Mindbender, and he had an offer from Queen Battlewinner.
"Moonlight, Goldenstar, Blackstar, Nightdarkness, Nightlight, Bigbrain, Galaxyreader, Littlewing, Littlestar, Lightstar, Obsidian and Shine," he addressed them in his deep voice. "Your Majesty thinks you should be placed into the special dragonet program that we run, do you accept?"
"Yes." They all said.
Moonlight hesitated.
"Moonlight, do you accept?" He questioned.
"Oh! Yes, I do accept your offer"
"Well, now you must go to your new dormitory. You will have a few minutes to gather your belongings." Mindbender replied.
"Very well." all the dragonets said.
They were led down the corridor and into there old dormitory Wow! I can't believe I'm being put into the special dragonet program! Moonlight thought excitedly.
The other dragonets at the school were throwing questions at them, but they all looked at each other and nodded, knowing that they couldn't tell the others where they were going. Not everyone knew that there was a program for dragons not yet at the age of ten, it was kept secret especially from the 'regular' dragonets. With everyone knowing that, they would ask non stop questions about if they were going to become 'special'.
Moonlight got all her things and made sure that she didn't miss anything, especially her onyx that her parents gave to her as a souvenir to remember them by the day before they died. She didn't let anyone see it and it was her only little piece of treasure she has ever had and she didn't want it to be taken away, so she put it under her tongue so nobody saw it and it didn't fall out of anything.
When her and the other dragonets got to their new dormitory, they all stared in awe at their new place. There were stacks of scrolls embedded in the wall, a few stone tables to sit at and lots of beds with little holes in the wall beside them to place stuff. Moonlight chose a bed on the highest level on the same wall as her friends while the rest went to the other wall, the walls weren't that far from each other because all the scrolls and tables were in a wide room and at the back of the room, it turned and made a very wide hallway. 
It was already nighttime when everyone settled in, but none of them could sleep because they all felt more alive in the nighttime so talked.
"Hey, what do you think I got into the special program for?" Goldenstar asked, her head tilted to one side.
"Huh, well maybe they'll tell us what were being trained for?" Nightlight said.  
Just then a NightWing came walking in observing all of them then said, "Assassin's over there." She pointed to the far left half of the left wall.
"Spies sleep there" She continued, and pointed to the other wall diagonal from the assassin's wall,
"Battle strategists over there." She finished as she pointed to the half of the wall across from the assassins' wall.
"All three or have multiple are right over there." She pointed to the wall across the battle strategist wall and then she barked.
"Moonlight, you are in all three"
"Galaxyreader, Goldenstar, Bigbrain, Littlewing, Nightlight and Lightstar, you guys are battle strategists."
"Littlestar, Obsidian and Shine you are spies."
"Blackstar and Nightdarkness you two are assassin's. Now move your stuff to the right bunks..... Now!" And then she turned and left.
Everyone gathered their stuff and moved to the right bunks. Moonlight didn't have to move anything because she was in the right spot already. She was right across from Galaxy reader and everyone could talk since the walls were only a dragon width apart from each other.
                                  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moonlight had only been in the special program for a week and was already aware of the routine. She woke up and the trainers took them to a special room to train.
"I wonder what were going to do today?" Goldenstar whispered to Moonlight.
"Well, we all have to learn how to fight, but since your a battle strategist then you would learn to think like your enemy and learn the map and stuff" she replied.
Nobody talked the rest of the way. When they came to training Moonlight had to train with all three trainers and learned tons of stuff she had to know.
"Moonlight, you are very small and in some situations that is good but in some it is not and it doesn't help that you are not very strong. So you will need to develop more muscle, think quick and be clever, but also be silent, since you need to be a spy and an assassin. Sometimes if you are caught or you are about to kill someone, they will fight back so you also have to learn fighting skills like everyone else. So now I order you to attack me." Her teacher said.
So Moonlight leaped and attacked her mentor almost being able to pin the full grown dragon, but instead got pinned herself. She trained hard all day, everyday, studied and did everything she could to become the best.
==Chapter 2==
It was 1 year later and Moonlight had gotten a little bigger, but also had developed a lot of muscle. Moonlight did the same thing everyday; Wake up, get to training, fight, learn, read, battle, figure out puzzles, go back to the dormitory, sit down, chat and then go back to bed. Moonlight was now able to pin her mentor to the ground even though she was 3 times bigger, and learned to throw discs with extraordinary accuracy.
Moonlight sat down at a table with her friends
"So how is everybody's training going?" She questioned.
"I'm learning how to kill and it's pretty fun." Nightdarkness replied. 
"Uh... I'm always sneaking around for training and straining my ears to hear conversations and stuff." Shine said.
"Well at least we don't have to train for four things like Moonlight." Blackstar pointed out.
"Hey, it's actually pretty fun training and I'm getting bigger muscles than all of you!" Moonlight exclaimed, pointing her talon at all of them. 
"Oh yeah, really? Well then let's arm wrestle!" Blackstar said, being the strongest in the group. 
"Well ok, but I'll beat you no problem." She replied with a grin.
Moonlight and Blackstar grabbed hands in the middle of the table. Blackstar and Moonlight pushed each other's arms trying to push them onto the table when Moonlight started to lose, she then gave a burst of strength, slamming Blackstar's arm into the table. Blackstar had her mouth hanging open in shock.
"Where did you get all that strength Moonlight, what I remember was you barely being able to beat me in a talon war!" Blackstar exclaimed, shocked.
"Well I told you I got some serious muscles building up now. I wouldn't be surprised if I got my first mission soon. Also, I was letting you win." Suddenly a big burly NightWing strolled in with a scroll in his talons. "Moonlight step forward." He said.
She obeyed.  
"You will have your first mission, to follow the dragonets of destiny and track where their going and report back" He told her.
"Yes, sir. but when do I leave?" She inquired.
"Now." The NightWing finished.
Moonlight went quickly to her dorm. She wrapped her onyx in a piece of cloth and put it in a little bag including her disks, knives and a black cloak. She was escorted to the tunnel that led to the SkyWing kingdom where another big NightWing was waiting for her. 
"You will have your first mission to follow the dragonets of destiny and track where there going." He said.
Another NightWing, this one younger, exclaimed excitedly, "Hello! So I've heard your are best spy and assassin!"
"Yes, that's what others say. My names Moonlight" She said.
The larger NightWing cut into their conversation. "Huh, you seem rather small, but I can see that your mentor trained you well. My name is Morrowseer, and you will be coming with me."
They both went through the tunnel and Moonlight followed. During the short walk Morrowseer instructed her that when they got to the cave, she needed to slip inside unnoticed and watch without being seen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Morrowseer got to the cave, he opened it and she slipped inside right behind the bigger dragon. She melted into the shadows and watched as all the dragonets lined up. She listened carefully, picking up every detail. 
By the end of the day she learned all the dragonets names. Clay the MudWing, Tsunami the SeaWing, Glory the Rainwing, Starflight the NightWing, and Sunny the SandWing. Moonlight watched the SeaWing being tied up with chains and the RainWing hiding right beside her.
The dragonets were soon escaping and she just watched and waited like the rest, until Tsunami and Clay were opening the door to the cavern. Queen Scarlet was right behind them, but Moonlight didn't make a sound and just watched everything unfold around her. When Scarlet and her soldiers were gone, she followed silently a few wingbeats behind, careful not to be caught.
Moonlight you have to be very careful and watch, but not do anything. Then report back if anything interesting happens. Morrowseer voice echoed in her head. This is interesting, but I should gather more information. She argued with the imaginary Morrowseer. She won.
Moonlight took out her black onyx and pressed it close to heart remembering what her parents told her. 
"Whenever you miss us, just hold that to your heart and we'll be right there." Her mom had said when she gave it to her.
Moonlight's older brother had one too, and her younger brother and sister would have also, but they had died when they were nearly hatchlings.
Moonlight followed the Queen to the SkyWing kingdom silently and watched and waited. She watched as Clay the MudWing battled an IceWing and then saw the RainWing, Glory, spit black venom while Tsunami thrashed around and almost dropped of the pedestal. 
I think I have enough information right now. It's not like they are going to go anywhere anytime soon. Moonlight thought, so she lifted off for the short journey home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When she got home it was only about a day later. She arrived in the dormitory and nobody greeted her because they were all huddled in a group looking at a sheet of paper. She walked up, looked at the sheet and her eyes widened in alarm 
"Are you guys insane!?" She yelled.
They all turned their heads and looked up. "Oh, hey Moonlight" Goldenstar said. "Welcome home. How was your mission?"
"Great!" She replied. 
Goldenstar nodded and returned to discussing the map that was laid out. All the dragonets started murmuring to each other again then looked up again. 
"Moonlight, we have a plan to attack the IceWings."  Bigbrain said.
Moonlight was completely befuddled. 
"But why?" She questioned.
Bigbrain replied, "Well we have to get revenge don't we? And maybe we can kill queen Blaze in the process." 
"Well, ok." Moonlight said hesitantly. "But when do we leave and you have to tell me the plan." 
So, Bigbrain explained the plan to her as they were walking off to a tunnel.
Moonlight and her friends emerged into the Ice kingdom and looked around, it was already nighttime, so it was easy to hide in the shadows. They saw two IceWing guards patrolling, so Moonlight and Blackstar moved in and threw silver discs at them, then they all moved in quietly.
However, Lightstar wasn't quiet enough and they were ambushed and outnumbered by 2. The dragonets weren't prepared for this at all, but it was their instinct to attack immediately. 
Most jumped at an IceWing, but for some it was hopeless fighting a full-grown dragon of any tribe. While Moonlight was battling two IceWings at a time, more jumped out. Moonlight killed off one of them, but her friends were weaker than her, so she turned to help them.  
Another IceWing jumped at her, trying to keep her away, and she watched as an IceWing raked his claws down Goldenstar's back, digging them deeper and her hanging limply from his talons. Then the other IceWings did the same to Bigbrain and Nightlight. They hung limply and unmoving.  
Moonlight felt a tear streak down her face and plop lightly into the snow. Nightdarkness struggled, and so did Blackstar and Shine, but they died to IceWings who scratched their sharp talons across their underbellies. 
Moonlight was terrified, but she was still trying to kill the IceWing she was fighting, so she cut him with a disc in the neck. She flew towards Lightstar who was trying hopelessly to kill the IceWing she was fighting. As Moonlight landed beside her, two more IceWings gathered and finished Lightstar off. They left her dead, cold and un-moving. Moonlight wailed and threw a disc at the IceWing that had killed her and he fell dead. 
She was going to kill more and try to finish the mission, when Galaxyreader yelled "Retreat!"  
Littlestar immediately leaped into the sky, but Moonlight stayed, killing two more IceWings with her disks. Galaxyreader had to grab her and pull her away from the scene to escape. Moonlight had enough time to kill one more though, with a disk to the windpipe.  
On the way home, Galaxyreader and Moonlight had a chance to think about what had happened. Suddenly it sunk in that Moonlight would never see her friends again, except for Galaxyreader and Littlestar.  
"Their dead." Moonlight murmured. 
She let out a large sob, then controlled her emotions, and flew the rest of the way in shocked, sad, silence.
==  Chapter 3==
Their dead. And it's all my fault, I could've talked them into not going on with the mission or I could've helped them fight but I couldn't. At least Lightstar could've been at least a bit quieter. Oh, Lightstar, I really wish you had studied harder for sneaking.  She thought as a tear rolled down her cheek. Oh stop blaming Lightstar! She scolded herself sadly, You know its your fault!
 The three dragonets arrived at the dormitory with their heads drooping like a leaf with water on it. Moonlight couldn't be comforted at all, she lost everybody she cared about on the mission except for Galaxyreader.
She slumped back to her bunk and lay down, waiting till morning to leave. She had to watch the dragonets of destiny again. Strongnight walked in the next morning to say goodbye to Moonlight, but he could see she wasn't all that happy to see him and his smile faded when he saw the near empty dormitory room. 
"What happened?" he asked so Littlestar explained with deep sadness in her voice that even she couldn't hide. Strongnight wrapped his big wings around Moonlight, then un-wrapped her and said 
"You have to go now." He said sadly.
"I know." She replied.
Everyone waved goodbye with sadness in everything they did, hoping Moonlight survived too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moonlight watched as the dragonets of destiny escaped the SkyWing prison and headed toward the Mud kingdom.
