Ember's Survival

==Blurb==
A flameless dragonet, drowned in a river by his mother, being separated with his sister, Peril.
But.. what if Ember lived? What if he survived being drowned by Kestrel? What I'd he had a chance to live his life? 
But, before he can live, Ember must survive the war. He must fight fear, hunger, and what he has left.
==Prologue==
A blood-red egg SkyWing, Kestrel, stayed close to her two dragonets, Peril, a firescales dragonet, and her brother, Ember, the dragonet who was closest to Kestrel, and had no fire nor firescales.
"Momma?" Peril said, tipping her head. Her bright, orange, sun-yellow scales flickered slightly as she stated at Kestrel. "Who was that big dragon with all the gold yesterday?" 
Kestrel let out a sigh. "That was Scarlet." Her gaze flickered towards Ember, who was staring out onto the river, its dark blue waters hungrily devouring the rocks, and spitting them out as if they were nasty, expired raw fishes. The SkyWing mother let out a sigh. "Why don't we get closer to the water, young ones?"
Her firescales dragonet smiled and trotted up beside Ember. "Later, you wanna go hunt? I'm pretty sure I can scorch a rabbit for you!"
Peril's brother shook his head, smiling. "No, no. It's fine, Peril. And plus, Momma will catch us something." Ember looked at Kestrel. "Right?"
She let out a sigh, and walked up to Ember. "I'm sorry. But Peril will be the only one catching dinner tonight." She placed her talons firmly on his head, and shoved it into the water.
With a chocked sob, Peril said to Kestrel, "stop it! You're hurting Ember." But the dragonet didn't try and stop Kestrel. She let her mother drown Ember.
Finally, Ember went limp. Kestrel dumped his body into the water, and let out a sob. "I'm sorry, Ember! Momma had to do this. You'd understand, right?"
She then gave Peril a look. "Let's go home. Let's not talk about this ever again." She walked off, hearing Peril's talonsteps behind her.
==Chapter 1==
He had already washed up on shore by the time he was drowned. He felt as if he had died over and over again, as if something was eating at him from the inside out.
Ember hacked out floods of water from his jaws. His vision was blurred, and his ears was clogged from being in the river. His wet, glazed eyes worriedly glanced around. Kestrel hadn't tried to drown him.. did she?
Thoughts swirled in his head as he weakly rose up, only to collapse again. Ember wondered what happened to him. Or his sister, Peril? Or his mother, Kestrel? Did they abandon the flameless dragonet to die in this cold world?
The young SkyWing dragonet folded his salmon pink wings. Ember glanced around, and from the corner of his eye, he thought he saw a tail.
