Break of Day (Wings of Fire FanFic) WORK IN PROGRESS

Pre-Prologue
At first, there was only a mass of rolling waves and towering cliffs, the blundering mass of earth and water was lifeless. It was just orbiting the sun, with nothing on it that needed the sun. The moons waxed and waned, but nothing needed the moons. The ever-changing ocean floor housed nothing more than grains of sand, because nothing needed the ocean floor. 
But it wouldn’t be like that for long. Soon the planet’s orbit would bring it closer to the sun, parching the already bare earth and soil. The change in tides from the three moons would cause the ocean to rise and drench the dry cliffs, the sun and water together would promote plant life. Those plants would sprout from seeds that had long before arrived from a passing planet. And then… the plants bring forth sparks of life that are not plants themselves. 
Animals….. Monkeys, birds, scorpions, spiders, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish, lions, goats, scavengers… and there was one spark of life that was bigger and more complex than the others. A head formed, horns pushing through the skull, then the neck and forelegs, rigid claws protruding from the fingers. Soon after came the torso and back legs, strong and durable, the tail came next. Long and muscular with an undefined tip. But then, something came that differentiated this being from any other...The wings, they sprouted from the shoulders, large and bat-like, allowing the life form the power of flight. The figure opened its eyes, all around it more were coming, starting out the same way. They grew and grew until they stopped and looked around. This form will be remembered throughout history and in the future, some memories good, and some bad, but they were all called the same thing…….
Dragons…
Prologue 
Cherish wasn’t sure why she was called into this meeting with Relic, Relic was the oldest dragon in the tribe. To her, he was also the most annoying, Cherish didn’t understand why someone so...fragile...got to rule, just because his dad was the first dragon doesn’t mean he is more important. She was the least important dragon in the tribe, and he was the most important. She walked down the dirt covered path, nobody was allowed to fly within a 20 wingspan radius from his encampment, apparently since he couldn’t fly, no one else was allowed. Again Cherish didn’t believe somedragon that couldn’t fly should rule. This meeting can’t be that important, can it? Unless it had something to do with her egg, she wasn’t concerned. She scampered into the tent where Relic was waiting.
“You're late.” He said in his scraggly voice. He sounded as if he was 100 years old, which he was pretty close to.
“Sorry sir, I apologize, I was-” Cherish was cut off. She didn’t like it when she was cut off. She had a point she wanted to get across that you shouldn’t expect dragons to be on time if they couldn’t fly and were carrying an egg
“I don't want excuses, I want you to be on time, I don’t want to hear what you were doing, I want to tell you what you are doing now.”
“Yes Sir. Once again, I am extremely sorry.” She added with a slight snarl. He was really getting on her nerves.
“You were called here today to inform you that the tribe healer has died, therefore she can no longer take care of me. Cherish, you’re hired as the new healer.” 
Shocked silence followed these words. Sure Cherish learned some stuff about which herbs were good for what, and which plants lead to certain death and things like that, but she never thought she would ever in her whole life become a full fledged healer. 
“I-I’m sorry? I don’t have the proper training! I don’t know how to mend broken wings or how to heal a sore throat! Please can’t you choose someone else, please please please.”
“No.” his answer was firm, too firm for Cherish’s liking. Yes, Relic was very annoying, and Cherish would do something about that. She bowed to him, not that she wanted to, but she bowed and strode out of the tent.
Back at her cave she was gathering all of her belongings, sad that she had to leave. Her mate, Walt, was in the scouting troop, he shouldn’t be back for a long time. She would tell him everything when he came back. She threw her stuff in a sack, strapped it on her back and took off, headed towards the healers pavilion.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
As she was settling in to her new home she heard a rustling at the door. It was Relic.
“I’m ready for dinner.” he demanded, How rude, Cherish peeked through the door of the pavilion.
“Excuse me?”
“I said ‘I’m ready for dinner’, unless you are too deaf to hear me.” He retorted in his wheezy voice, Speak for yourself, Cherish grunted, but at the same time realized how she could end his nonsense.
“Oh! Of course, what would you like? Some deer, or cow, maybe some scavenger. Oooh or alligator! You know I am quite the cook if I do say so myself, I can prepare-” Cut off. Again. Relic was way past the line.
“Stop raving on about these shenanigans, I demand to eat at once. I’ll take soup please, any kind as long as it’s cold. Your welcome.” He said and then strolled out of the room. Cherish had a plan though. She started preparing the soup, she flew with the bowl to the stream to fill it up with cold water, then she grabbed a cucumber and cut it into pieces and stuck them in the soup along with some spices, but she slipped in some belladonna too. Just enough to make him sick. She then thought up the rest of her plan...
