Firefly walked along the streets of Wasp Hive, her head held high in pride. Some SilkWings looked at her in awe, at the scars decorating her body. But especially, they stared at the tattoo behind her ear. The tattoo didn’t mean anything anymore, except for the fact that she survived. She has survived the boredom and misery of what was a SilkWing decorations life. Her owner was long gone. She didn’t know, neither did she care about where and how he was. That time was gone, and so should have been her memories. It didn’t matter anyway. But sometimes, she would sometimes think about that age of her life…
It wasn’t exactly a new day to Firefly. After all, she had been doing this for years, ever since she had wings. Her job was easy, she supposed, but that didn’t make it any less miserable. HiveWings liked to sit and stare at her, which made Firefly uncomfortable. At least she got paid for it. But not in gold or silver or anything. No, she got paid in food, water and shelter. If she did a good job, she’d get some bread and water. If she didn’t do a good job… She’d have to survive out on the streets for the night, and come back to work in the morning.
The day everything changed wasn’t anything special. The usual, eat, go outside, be pretty. There was another aspect of course, but her master wouldn’t like it at all. Daydreams. Daydreaming about the glorious days of freedom that she used to have, and would likely not get again until a voice drove Firefly out of her misery.
“Hey. Hey. Hey.”
“What.”
“I just wanted to say you’re pretty.”
“Yeah, I know, I wouldn’t be here otherwise, would I?”
“I don’t really know, I’m just a slave, but you’re one of those beauty SilkWings aren’t you?”
“Mhm.”
“That’s so cool! I’m Amber by the way.”
“Firefly.”
“Nice meeting you! Now I should go before my HiveWing gets mad at me, I’ll see you later!”
Firefly just cocked her head in confusion as she watched the SilkWing skip away. It was weird to see such a happy SilkWing around, but Firefly hoped they could meet again. And they did. Every day after that, and at the same time. Firefly was always excited to see Amber, and they became very close friends.
Everything was as perfect as a pretty SilkWings life could be until new laws were made. All SilkWings were now free to leave their jobs, they could choose what they wanted to do, and all beauty and slave SilkWings were not allowed to be kept. This meant one thing for Firefly. Freedom. The word tasted funny in her mouth but, it was the thing she had longed for, ever since she got stuck with her job. And now it was a reality.  Firefly couldn’t wait to see Amber again.
A few days had passed after the law was carried.  Firefly and Amber loved sitting at a cafe eating honey drops which they both adored. Everything was normal, but some HiveWings still sneered at the tattoo behind Firefly’s ear, marking her as a servant. It would never go away, the ink was designed for that, and Firefly was self-conscious about it every single bit of the day. It didn’t help that she had developed strong feelings for Amber but Firefly figured that she wasn’t good enough for her.  It seemed that Amber was perfection in every way, and Firefly was the runt of her litter. But when Amber proposed a date, so many things turned for the better…
“Firefly, I just want to say how amazing you are, and how much I love you. You have such a sweet personality even though you haven’t had a great life, but I love how it hasn’t changed you at all. So I was wondering if you’d like to go get some honey drops and watch the sunset together.”
It was extremely unexpected. Ambers words had come out of nowhere and Firefly genuinely started crying in happiness. Amber started crying too, and they both hugged each other for a long long time.  And from that moment on, Firefly knew what she wanted to do. She wanted to help SilkWings gain more respect throughout Pantalla. She wanted to show everyone that SilkWings are more underrated than they think. SilkWings might be more pretty and lazy, but they were also servants and doing all of the work. So she did. She became an ambassador for SilkWings and went around convincing HiveWings that SilkWings weren’t that useless. She showed them her scars, her tattoo, and her imperfections, so they could understand that she could go through so much and come through amazing. 
Today, Amber and Firefly live peacefully together and are looking at adopting a dragonet or an egg from the orphanage. Firefly has learnt to love her small imperfections and she is actually quite proud of them, and of what she has achieved for the SilkWings. Amber is also very proud of Firefly, although she makes sure that Firefly doesn’t do anything irrational, and she has a giant surprise planned for her girlfriend which might include a ring and a proposal.
