Sunlit Skies (Jade Mountain Fanfiction)

== Prologue: Tiger ==
Tiger was resting in the sun. She wasn’t supposed to,because it was her turn to go fruit gathering for her age group. All the other three year olds were getting flowers or laying in the sun,far from Tiger. Her pet sloth,Petal,was on a tree,knocking down bananas. The deer Tiger tamed,was munching some leaves. “Jungle,” she whispered to the deer. “Come over here.” Jungle came over to her. Tiger stretched her wings and grabbed Petal. “Mmmmrble.” The sloth said in contentment. Tiger flew,but not too fast,so Jungle could keep up.  Badoom,badoom. Went the deer’s hooves,as they banged against the earth. Tiger suddenly halted. The queen was in front of her! “Hello,Tiger. Great to see you!” Queen Glory smiled. Tiger stumbled in the air. “Q-queen Glory. I was on my way to get fruit,Jungle and Petal are going to help me.” She glanced at her pets,who were watching with anticipation. Queen Glory landed. Tiger landed too. The queen kept smiling. “It’s about time you go to school. You should have been enrolled at Jade Mountain awhile ago. Last year. I’ll have Deathbringer send a NightWing. Maybe Mightyclaws. He stayed in the rainforest.” Glory flew off to yell at Deathbringer. Tiger grabbed a fallen mango. “Oh well. That was…odd.” She squished the mango. Jungle ran off to get more fruit. Smart deer weren’t common,but Jungle was. He was very smart. Tiger placed Petal on a tree branch and pushed a basket underneath the sloth. Petal knocked mangos down,while Tiger got some cloudberries. After what seemed like forever,they all went back. Tiger had two baskets,one mango and one cloudberry. Jungle had bananas on his back. When they got back, all the three year old dragonets ran over. Apple nudged her wing. “They are ALL CRAZY! I,on the other talon,just wait.” He plucked a banana and peeled it. One of the NightWings mashed a mango and started to paint on a leaf. Apple scooched near him. “Shadowpainter! Hi! Are you going to Jade Mountain Academy? I am! Tiger? Are you?” A flower fell on his head. He laughed way too loud. “Um…yes? I think so.” Tiger said and stroked Petal for comfort. Shadowpainter nodded and growled softly. He was older than her and Apple. Eight,to be exact. Tiger backed away. Apple turned bright yellow. He bounced around. “Uhhhh. I have to go…do something! Bye Apple! Bye Shadowpainter!” Tiger called and flew to Queen Glory’s pavilion. There was no line. “Queen Glory? When am I going to Jade Mountain Academy?” Tiger gasped. She was out of breath,after running from Apple,who was really fast. The queen’s scales turned dark pink. “I thought you’d never ask! I just sent Mightyclaws. You’ll get an answer by tomorrow. Some of your fellow RainWing friends are going. Firefly is coming,Apple is going,and Treeclimber. He’s been going for a while. Some NightWings too. Shadowpainter,Galaxy,Battlestrike and a few others. You’ll love it there. Most dragons do! Firefly had been there for two years now. She knows the school like her talons! Oh,look at the sunset.” Queen Glory pointed at the beautiful sky. Tiger nodded and flew to her treetop hut. It was for dragonets ages three through six. Then they started to separate,but she wasn’t there yet. Apple was there,running around and annoying the older dragons. “Wanna play? Wanna play? Wanna play? Wanna play?” He repeated himself over and over again. Tiger sighed. She decided to “play” with Petal. It wasn’t playing,it was petting the sloth. Jungle was outside,huddled in a leaf cave. “Stay here,Petal.” Tiger told the sloth,knowing it couldn’t understand her. She went out and pet Jungle. One of the older RainWings,Grapefruit ,stomped on a pile of leaves. All the dragonets stopped. “All right,all of you in the hut! Even you,Tiger. You can do that tomorrow. Put away the leaves and art supplies. The scrolls too. APPLE,GET OVER HERE.” He roared. Tiger hurried inside. She put Petal with the other sloths,on a sloth tree they had. The moons were in the sky and most dragonets were snuggled and sleeping. Grapefruit talked to Apple. “You are being very loud. Be quiet when the sun sets until the sun is high in the sky. Now,go to sleep. Put Crazy on the sloth tree.” Apple nodded and draped his sloth next to Petal. He slept near Tiger. 
The next morning,Tiger was the first to wake up. The sun was very bright and it was beautiful. She grabbed Petal and woke Jungle up. Queen Glory was gathering four RainWings. They all nodded and buzzed around the RainWing village. “Tiger. Mightyclaws is coming very soon.” Glory said. Tiger nodded and ate a banana. She flew near the sun and her scales turned bright yellow and pink,like a dragon she heard about,named Kinkajou. A butterfly landed on her shoulder. Sunlight shone on the whole rainforest. The bright rays were blinding. A NightWing came flying down. “Queen Glory…Tiger…Jade Mountain…letter.” He muttered. Tiger was wide eyed. “Wait! Are you Mightyclaws?” She asked. The NightWing nodded. “Uh,yes. Now,excuse me. I have to go get this letter to Queen Glory,so she can give it to Tiger. Do you know where Tiger is? Just to make it easier…” His eyes lit up. The sun made his eyes do that,of course. Tiger blocked him. “I’m Tiger. That’s for me. I’ll take it. Thank you.” She grabbed it from his claws. They were huge claws! Mightyclaws smiled and flew away. Tiger landed on the ground and opened her scroll. “If this is only Glory or Tiger reading this,go get Glory or Tiger,whoever you need.” Tiger read. Oh. She zoomed to Queen Glory’s pavilion again and Deathbringer was there. “Hello,Tiger,I think. You are Tiger,right?” Tiger nodded. “Okay,you need Queen Glory. She’ll be right back. Wait here for a minute.” He paused. “GLORY! TIGER’S HERE!” Queen Glory came trotting in,her wings and underscales orange. “Hey,no need to be annoyed with me! Tiger’s the one who came here.” Deathbringer said and waved his talons in the air. Glory rolled her eyes. “You got a reply? We’ll read it.” She reopened the scroll. Tiger started to read.“Dear Tiger,you have been enrolled in Jade Mountain Academy. Please come next month. We are so excited to have you here! You will have Clawmates,who you share a cave with. Usually two or three dragons are Clawmates. Winglets are your group. We have dragons from all different tribes. You are  the RainWing in your Winglet,which is Jade Winglet. We can’t wait to meet you! Signed,Clay,Tsunami,Starflight,Sunny,Moonwatcher,Fatespeaker,Cricket,Mandrake ,Kinkajou,and Sepia.” Tiger finished. She was so excited to go to school!
== Chapter One: Flurry ==
Flurry had just arrived at Jade Mountain Academy. She hated it already. She never went to school and didn’t want to start now. She knew NOBODY. NOT ONE ICEWING OR DRAGON HERE. Flurry even fought her parents! Guess what? SHE STILL HAD TO GO. It was SO ANNOYING! A NightWing came up to her with a sign. “Jade Winglet! OVER HERE! Anyone in Jade Winglet,go over here! Over here!”  She called. A SeaWing,RainWing,and MudWing came over. “Oh,we’re waiting for a few more. Wait until the rest come!” The NightWing said and kept calling “Jade Winglet,over here!” Over and over again. Flurry stepped away from them. A SkyWing came over. She looked weird. The MudWing was smiling very hard. “I’m Badger! Wanna be frieeeeeends?” He yelled. Flurry ignored him. She didn’t like this MudWing. A NightWing slowly walked to the Jade Winglet group. A SandWing bounded into the SkyWing. “Magma! It’s you! I haven’t seen you in so long! We’re in the same winglet!” He hugged the weird SkyWing. Magma hugged him back. Tears dripped down her face. “Jackrabbit! I missed you so much!” She said,her voice breaking. The loud NightWing that was the “JADE WINGLET! Over here!” dragon stopped yelling. “Alright,you all are here. Let’s go inside. Follow me!” She marched inside and led them to a pretty room. It was full of art. Flurry growled. “Hello! My name is Fatespeaker! I’m one of the founders of Jade Mountain Academy. This is the fifteenth year we’ve been open,so I’m very excited to meet all of you! Some of you are hybrids,tribrids,mind-readers,future seers,animi,or any other special abilities. That’s okay! Now,let’s introduce ourselves!” Fatespeaker scanned through the small crowd of dragonets. Don’t make me first. Please don’t. Flurry thought furiously. “Hmmm. The MudWing first!” Phew. Thanks,MudWing for existin. The hyper MudWing smiled. “Hi! MynameisBadgerandimnicealsowouldyouliketobemyfriend!” He said,very quickly. Fatespeaker opened her mouth to speak,but the MudWing interrupted her. “Hi. My name is Badger and I’m nice and also,would you like to be my friend? It’s my fifth time at school and second year here.” He said,much slower. Flurry flicked her tail at him. She did not want to be his friend. Or any of these dragons friends. Fatespeaker scanned again and smiled at the SkyWing. The SkyWing smiled back. “Um hi. My name is Magma. I’m a MudWing and SkyWing hybrid. I am fireproof and  heat emits from my tail when I get scared,” Her tail was doing that at that moment. “I like clouds. This is my second year here.” She looked at a small bracelet that was shaped like a cloud. She put her talons through little holes on its side and squeezed it. Fatespeaker nodded. “That was very nice and informative! How about our SeaWing?” In a corner,far from everyone else,even farther than Flurry was,stood a small SeaWing. She froze. “M-my name is Bubble. My mom is Tsunami,another founder. I-I have an older sister at this school. This is m-y first year here,but n-n-not at sc-school. I love swimming.” Well,duh. She’s a SEAWING. Of course she loves swimming. Flurry scoffed. Fatespeaker glared at her. Flurry just nodded,for no reason at all. The NightWing was next. He looked so scared. “My name is Calmseer. I love to paint. It’s my third year here and fifth year at school.” That’s it. All he said. WHY? SHARE A LITTLE MORE,NIGHTWING. “Wonderful. Now our IceWing goes next.” Fatespeaker said. What. Did. She. Just. Say. Flurry grabbed an innocent stick. She froze it. “I’m Flurry. I like scrolls. This is my first time at school. I have Frostscales,on my wings,tail and back legs.” Please don’t talk to me. Leave me alone,for the love of Caribou. The SandWing started talking. “Hello,my name is Jackrabbit! I love the heat and am excited to be here! It is my first time here,but third year of school. Running is one of my favorite things to do. I’m willing to be your friend.” He pointed at the RainWing,signaling that it was her turn. The RainWing rolled her bright yellow eyes. Some of her scales turned orange. “I’m Tiger. I have two pets,one sloth and one deer. I brought them both. The deer,Jungle,is in a nearby meadow and is enjoying his life. I love flying and the sun. This is my first year at Jade Mountain.” A small sloth came crawling up her neck. “Mrrrrbu.” It said,and Tiger giggled. “That’s Petal for hi.” Flurry started to walk out of the art cave. “Well,that’s everyone! Go enjoy,but first,it’s time to sort Clawmates. Magma and Bubble,together. Jackrabbit,Calmseer and Badger. Oh,whoops!Magma,Bubble,and Tiger. Flurry gets her own cave,because of her Frostscales. But it’s still fair! Flurry is in a small part of a big cave,she shares with other Frostscaled or Firescaled dragons. I will direct all of you to your sleeping caves.” Fatespeaker said,and led everyone down a hall. She stopped and pointed towards Magma,Bubble,and Tiger’s cave. Right across from that cave,was Jackrabbit,Calmseer,and Badger’s cave. Flurry was led away,to a whole other hall. Two huge caves were there. She stopped and looked at them. One had two dragons and the other had none. Of course,Flurry was put in the one with two other dragons. A few signs were on the smaller caves,inside of the huge cave. “Go find yours!” Fatespeaker urged. She walked away. Flurry searched all four of them. “Bonfire,Cloud,Flurry,Subzero…” Flurry! That was her! She stepped into it. Wow. A rock ledge close to the ground,a bunch of things to freeze,a whole barrel of ice,a-OH MY MOONS IS THAT A SCROLL TABLE?! She zoomed over to a table with many scrolls on it. “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!” She screeched. The two dragons that were in the big cave,poked their heads in. “Are you okay?” They asked in unison. Flurry nodded. “So many scrolls…” she breathed. The other dragons walked into her cave. “Okay. Um,nice to meet you. I’m Bonfire and this is Cloud. We’re Firescaled SkyWings. I’m in Gold Winglet. Subzero is supposed to come tomorrow,he’s like you. Peril had the idea for these caves. Flurry,right?” One asked. Flurry nodded at Bonfire. The sun was going down,so Flurry decided to watch the sunset. She’d never seen one,after all. Most dragons had,probably a million times. Flurry was an outsider. Frostscaled dragons were new. She was one of the first ones,approximately the tenth one. Now there were an estimated number of fourteen. The moon rose,soon after the sunset. Flurry drifted off to sleep. She slept,dreaming of the sunset.
== Chapter two: Parrotfish ==
Parrotfish was weird. His scales weren’t the right shade of blue,his wings were too big,his gills were too small,he couldn’t be invisible,he wasn’t even an animus. Also,one more thing. HE WAS A MOON-LICKING HYBRID. He hated being a hybrid. Parrotfish wanted to be normal. A normal RainWing or a normal SeaWing. Not whatever he was now. On the first day of Jade Mountain Academy,he arrived last. He received a paper that had his winglet on it. It said:
Copper Winglet
IceWing: Subzero
SkyWing: Flicker 
SeaWing: Zircon
MudWing: Doe
SandWing: Pangolin 
NightWing: Galaxy 
RainWing: Parrotfish 
He wasn’t even a full RainWing! This was incorrect. Parrotfish wished he could actually be a RainWing,not this. But,he was kind of excited for Jade Mountain Academy. A shy looking SandWing came running towards him. “Um…” Parrotfish said in confusion. The SandWing didn’t notice a rock in front of him. Parrotfish did. “Hey,um watch out. There’s a rock in front of you!” The rock was sharp,it could easily hurt dragons. The SandWing ignored him. He tripped on the rock. Parrotfish’s bioluminescent scales immediately glowed a faint orange with surprise. Was this SandWing okay? “Snapping turtles,are you okay?!” He asked with panic. The SandWing nodded. “Yes,I’m fine,” he said and stood up. “Thank you for asking.” A small cut had formed in this strange SandWing’s front left leg. “I’m Pangolin.” The SandWing said and flew off. That was weird. Parrotfish saw dragons fighting each other in the hall. A MudWing and a dragon with four wings. Even weirder,the MudWing was getting hit by a rock, but was perfectly fine. “Swallowtail,get back to your cave! ALMOND,WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT FIGHTING RANDOM DRAGONS. I know both of you have been here for five years,but no. Both of you go to your caves!” A SeaWing yelled. She was older than most,probably thirty something. Then it came back to Parrotfish. This was his aunt,Tsunami. The two dragons growled and went back to the caves. A SeaWing,SkyWing, MudWing,and NightWing came charging toward him. “You. Parrotfish. We have class now. Go with us.” The SeaWing bossed. Parrotfish ignored her. “I said,GO WITH US. WE HAVE CLASS NOW.” She repeated. Parrotfish didn’t like this SeaWing. But he went anyway. The class they all had was just to meet each other and get to know everyone. The teacher was a MudWing. “Welcome! My name is Sepia and I will be teaching you about the tribes. But today,we will just get to know each other. Let’s start with the MudWing,since our IceWing hasn't arrived at Jade Mountain Academy yet.” The teacher said,as the MudWing student opened her mouth. “My name is Doe. I am the Bigwings of my hatching. I love running across the mud or dirty grass. Nice to meet all of you.” She seems nice. I like her already,I guess. Parrotfish thought. A NightWing was next. “I’m Galaxy. I can see the future. I love stars and am excited to research them. I have odd wings,don’t ask why.” She grumbled. Shy but kind. She seems okay,but the MudWing named Doe seems better and nicer. Sepia smiled and looked at the SandWing. The SandWing was the dragon Parrotfish ran into! “Pangolin,that’s my name. I hate fighting and I’m not great at it. I am a little shy,sorry about that. The sun is my happy place.” He said,smiling softly. Pangolin could be my friend. The rude SeaWing spoke next. “Well,my name is Zircon. I love swimming and shells. I know how to speak Human/Scavenger. I hate the heat.” She hissed. I don’t like her. She’s rude. The SkyWing knew she was next,since they were going in alphabetical order based on your tribe. “Flicker. Nice to meet all of you. I love flying and rain. I don’t have much fire. I actually don’t mind swimming.” Athletic ,but she seems nice. Maybe we can be friends? Parrotfish realized it was his turn. “I am Parrotfish. I am half RainWing and half SeaWing. My bioluminescent scales change color,like a RainWing’s. I like the sun and swimming.” He said. That was horrible. I could have done way better. Parrotfish,these dragons are now your friends. Yay? I mean,I’ve never really had friends. Maybe I should see if I can leave this room. I could come up with a lie! He opened his mouth to speak,now that nobody was talking. “Um,excuse me? Could I go see if the IceWing is here?” Nailed it! Great lie,me! Sepia nodded. “As long as you don’t take too long. Parrotfish nodded and ran out of the cave. He was GREAT at making up lies,that was a fact. He decided to see if the IceWing arrived. An IceWing stood in the hallway,confused. “Are you in Copper Winglet?” Parrotfish asked. The IceWing nodded. “I’m Parrotfish. Follow me.” He continued. The IceWing followed him to the cave. Sepia smiled. “Welcome,Subzero! Introduce yourself.” Wow. He must be pressured right now. Subzero nodded. “Er,I’m Subzero. I have Frostscales. I’m estimated to be the eighth IceWing with Frostscales. I like rocks.” Everyone else went and introduced themselves again. “My name is Doe. I am a Bigwings.” “I’m Galaxy. I can see the future.” “Hello! My name is Pangolin. I hate fighting.” “Well,I’m Zircon. I speak Human/Scavenger.” “Flicker. I have weak fire.” All of that. Parrotfish just simplified his introduction. “I’m Parrotfish. Part SeaWing and part RainWing.” Sepia handed everyone a schedule and a map. The map had another side. It showed the sleeping caves. They were all labeled. Parrotfish was put with Pangolin. Galaxy and Doe were together. Zircon demanded to be with her real friends,but didn’t get what she wanted. Instead,she was put with Flicker. Flicker was completely unhappy about this. Parrotfish understood, Zircon seemed horrible. Subzero went to his special cave,with the other Firescaled and Frostscaled dragons. Everyone was allowed to explore for the first week. Parrotfish stayed in his cave,practicing his Aquatic and his venom targeting. He rarely used his venom,it wasn’t powerful. It was useful for catching prey,like fish in the lake. He just could hit the fish with one tiny bit of venom and FLOP,it dies. His Aquatic could have been better. ‘’Mangos and coral reefs.’’ That was his favorite term to use. Soon,the sun had set. Parrotfish ate a small fish he had caught. Pangolin fell asleep before him. Parrotfish climbed into the hammock in the cave.  He slept peacefully,thinking of lakes and mangos. His favorite things.
== Chapter three: Snowdrop ==
“Excuse me! Princess Snowdrop. PRINCESS SNOWDROP. Come on, you have to go inside!” It was Princess Snowdrop’s first day at Jade Mountain Academy. It was also the first year they allowed LeafWings. SilkWings and HiveWings had been allowed for three years. Which was unfair since MOST OF THE SILKWINGS COULD NOT FLY YET. Snowdrop didn’t want to go inside. Everything would be different. If she stayed outside,then it would not be different. But her friend,who was a SilkWing,pulled her inside. A brown dragon was there,handing out scrolls. He turned to Snowdrop. “Hello. Hmm,you are one of the new LeafWings. What’s your name?” He asked and Snowdrop immediately covered her face with her wing. “Princess Snowdrop,but call me Snowdrop.” She mumbled. The brown dragon seemed to be rustling through something. He stopped. Snowdrop lowered her wing. “Here you go. This scroll has a map,your Winglet, and when you have classes. Also where your cave is. Now,you should take a look at the scroll.” He smiled warmly and Snowdrop backed away. She opened the scroll on a nearby rock. It read: Emerald(Pantala) Winglet
LeafWing: Pitcher (PoisonWing)
SilkWing: Swallowtail
HiveWing: Longhorn 
LeafWing: Princess Snowdrop (SapWing)
SilkWing: Spring 
HiveWing: Treecutter
Then a map on the other side. Next to the map,a schedule was drawn for her. On the top of the schedule it read: Week one: Explore! Explore this entire week! All new Pantala students come to the great hall of Jade Mountain,when Clay(the brown dragon that probably gave you this) breathes a blast of fire.
Well,very informative. Thanks,creators of Jade Mountain. Snowdrop hoped nobody would treat her better because she was an heir to the LeafWing throne. That just wouldn’t be fair. “Snowdrop,listen to me. Everyone here will treat you like you aren’t royalty,if you don’t tell them you’re royalty. Lying is not great,so maybe tell them you are royalty,but don’t treat you special. ‘Wow Spring,great idea!’ I don’t get applause?!” Spring interrupted. Snowdrop giggled. She loved Spring’s jokes. They chatted for a while. Suddenly,fire shot through the air. The signal. A small group of dragonets formed. “Hello!” Called an odd looking golden dragon. “We are Clay,Tsunami,Starflight,Sunny,Moonwatcher. Mandrake,Kinkajou,Cricket,and Sepia. I’m Sunny! I am a hybrid,also one of the original founders of Jade Mountain Academy. I will teach anyone who needs help.” The MudWing from earlier was going to introduce himself. “I am Clay,also one of the original founders. I am fireproof. I’ll be teaching flying and hunting.” He said,smiling. A RainWing went next. “Hello,I’m Kinkajou! I am not a founder,but I went here the year it opened! I will teach everyone about peace! The NightWing next to me is Starflight,who wants ME to introduce him. He’s one of the original founders,also the librarian.” Starflight nodded as Kinkajou said that. Blue dragon’s turn. “I’m Tsunami. Also one of the original founders. I teach combat here.” Another ‘MudWing’ went next. “I am Sepia. I am NOT a founder,but I also went here, with Kinkajou. I am teaching about the tribes.”  Somebody next to Starflight introduced herself. “I’m Fatespeaker.I am a founder. But I just help out. I can see the fu-“ Starflight covered her mouth. “Mph!” She yelled. Yet another NightWing went next. She smiled. “Moonwatcher,but call me Moon. I will be teaching the NightWings how to use their powers,but also teach history. Our old history teacher died in a battle to protect Jade Mountain. His name was Webs. I am also not a founder.” The other NightWing said. A HiveWing went next. “I’m Cricket! I’ll be teaching history when Moon cannot. Mandrake?” A LeafWing glanced at a plant. His eyes lit up. “My name is Mandrake. I will teach you about insects and plants.” Sunny lunged her wing toward the Pantalan students. There were only a few of them in the crowd. “Will you four introduce yourselves? Starting with the HiveWing.” She asked them. The HiveWing looked around ten years old. He cleared his throat. “My name is Treecutter,” he said and glared at Snowdrop and the other LeafWing. “I hate trees. I’m one of the best architects in Yellowjacket Hive. I came here to learn more about architecture. Then I’ll be the greatest in all of Pantala! Hopefully.” He trailed off at ‘Hopefully’. The other LeafWing started to open her mouth. She blabbered away. “My name is Pitcher. I love plants,but not trees. So I want to learn more about…flowers! They are one of my favorites,next to dangerous plants. I’m not great at reading yet,so I’m hoping someone will help me. Also, I know Longhorn,another student here! He’s the one who convinced me to come to Jade Mountain Academy! He’s a HiveWing and we’re best friends! It’s weird,I know. Oooo! Can I pick who goes next? If so,that SilkWing! Thank you.”  Her tail thumped the ground with excitement. Spring gingerly opened her mouth. Snowdrop could see why. Pitcher was…crazy. “Hi. I’m Spring. I’m six and I just got my wings about a week ago. I have normal silk,by the way. I absolutely ADORE flying! It’s so fun! I like books! Oh wait,you have scrolls here. That’s fine I guess.” The SilkWing smiled. Spring liked talking,but not as much as Pitcher. Snowdrop was last. Last, last, last ,last. Tell them you are royalty,but don’t treat me differently. Thanks,Spring. “My name is Princess Snowdrop. Please do not treat me special because I’m an heir to the LeafWing throne. I’m forty percent IceWing and sixty percent LeafWing. It’s because my great-grandmother was an IceWing. I love books and climbing. I like music. Trees are one of my favorite things,too. Spring is actually my best friend. Call me Snowdrop.” Snowdrop told them. Her mint green scales shone brightly in the sunlight that was pouring through. Clay smiled. “Thank you all of you for sharing! If anyone is interested in signing up for extra activities,like silk spinning practice or other hobbies that we may have,talk to Sepia. If you would like extra help with anything,talk to me or Sunny. But now,everyone goes with Fatespeaker to find your caves. She’ll tell you who’s with who.” He said. The four Pantalan dragons followed Fatespeaker to their caves. The NightWing led them all down a hall. Fatespeaker stopped in front of a few caves. “All right! Let’s see. Pitcher,go into the cave on my left. You’ll be sharing with Pyrhhian dragons,Dragonbite and Wave. Spring,you will be with Princess Cloud,in the cave on my right. Treecutter,you are with Battlestrike,in the cave two down from Pitcher’s. Finally,Snowdrop is with Denali and Almond,next to Spring’s cave. I hope all of you enjoy it! You all can now explore the school!” She yelled,while smiling and flew off. Snowdrop didn’t want to see her cave yet. Spring was checking out her own cave,but then came out and saw Snowdrop. “Let’s go explore the school for a little while! I want to sign up for things!” Snowdrop squeaked. Spring nodded and chased after her. Jade Mountain Academy was big and fun. Snowdrop found Sepia waving goodbye to other students. The MudWing noticed her and smiled. “Hello! Is there anything you would like to sign up for?” She asked. Snowdrop nodded. Spring nodded too. I wonder if they have climbing areas and we can go to them. Or maybe they have a music cave. I can ask that right now! “I am wondering if you have climbing areas around here that we can sign up to go to. Also,do you have a music cave?” Snowdrop asked. Sepia thought for a moment. Snowdrop started to worry if they didn’t have either of those. But,instead of shaking her head,Sepia nodded. “We have a music cave,that’s for sure. We do have climbing areas nearby,but we were going to make a sign up scroll for that. Go ask Tsunami. She’s the combat teacher,but she’ll make a group for climbing-“ she was interrupted by talons clicking on the ground. A LeafWing emerged. The strange intruder had forest green scales with brown scales along her back. Her left eye was brown and her right eye was the same green as her scales. Snowdrop smiled softly. Another LeafWing! How did this happen? Sepia was too shocked and Spring froze in place. “Hello. I’m Princess Snowdrop of the LeafWings. What’s your name?” She asked gently. The strange LeafWing pushed her wings together. “I…I…I’m Windflower. Nobody ever asks me what my name is.” This LeafWing moved carefully and spoke with care. Snowdrop remembered seeing her before. Windflower was Queen Redwood’s most loyal messenger’s daughter. She was really young,around two years old. Snowdrop’s older brother,Evergreen,loved to play with the young dragonets. Windflower flinched. More dragons were behind her. Two blue and green dragons,a gray and yellow one,and a mahogany/brown one. Also two other LeafWings and a HiveWing. Windflower introduced them to Spring,Snowdrop,and Sepia. “These two blue and green ones are SeaWings named Shimmer and Prince Marine. The gray one is Sandseeker. The mahogany dragon is Mudslide. The LeafWings are SapWings like us! Juniper is the one in the front and right behind me is Mahogany. The HiveWing is Earworm. She’s great at music.” Windflower told them. The new dragons waved. Sepia smiled. “They can stay at Jade Mountain if they would like. We have a music cave and plant classes. We go swimming and flying.” The older dragon said. Prince Marine,Sandseeker,Juniper,and Earworm stayed. Sandseeker said she would only be there a few times a week. The others left to go back to their home kingdoms. Snowdrop was uncomfortable with these new dragons. Sepia decided to put Sandseeker with Spring. She also put Earworm with Snowdrop. Windflower would be with Almond and Princess Firefly.  Prince Marine went with Battlestrike and Treecutter. Juniper would be with Stardust and Duststorm,two Pyrrhian dragons. Snowdrop did not want Earworm with her. Why? Because she was a forest-destroyer HIVEWING. The same tribe as Treecutter and the tribe that tried to wipe out the LeafWings. Earworm seemed nice,but who knows what she could be hiding?! Snowdrop pushed that thought away. That was twenty-nine years ago. Almost thirty! She headed to her cave with Earworm, and found Denali trying to paint a bluebird,but it kept flying away. “Seal GUTS! This bird sits as still as a RainWing! Oh,hello. I didn’t introduce myself. I’m Denali. I try to paint,buuuuut that usually goes wrong. As you can see,I failed. Maybe painting things that DON’T MOVE WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PAINT THEM would work better? Well,what’s your name?” She asked,throwing her painting at the wall. Snowdrop thought this would be a great idea. “I’m Princess Snowdrop. I love painting too. Call me Snowdrop. I have IceWing ancestry. This is my first year at Jade Mountain…” The bluebird now landed on Denali’s tail. It tweeted angrily. Earworm shyly smiled. “My name is Earworm,” she told Denali. “I like growing trees. It’s weird for a HiveWing. Swimming isn't horrible.” That was shocking. HiveWings hated swimming and most weren’t fans of trees. Snowdrop started to think that sharing a cave with a HiveWing, wouldn't be so bad.
== Chapter four ==
=== Flurry ===
* She woke to the sound of talons clicking on the ground. Flurry clawed the air. “STOP IT. I’M AWAKE,SMOKE-BREATHERS!” She roared. Bonfire poked his head into her cave. He looked confused and insulted at the same time. “One, I don’t think that was a great insult. Two, I know you’re awake. But I have a class early today with Silver Winglet and I need to go to the prey center. So,you can come with me if you would like.” He said and clawed air like she did. Flurry quickly jumped off the ledge she slept on.  Her ice blue scales shone in the morning light. Bonfire’s yellow-orange and dark red scales were dimmer than Flurry’s. The two reached the prey center. Other dragonets were there,getting fish from the river or eating fruit. Bonfire ate a hawk from a catch earlier that day. Flurry also ate a hawk,even though she wished there were arctic hares. More of the Gold Winglet came for food. Silver Winglet joined them. Soon,Bonfire had to go with the Gold and Silver winglets. Flurry found that okay. She had a history class anyway. She decided to find the history cave. It was the third one they’ve had at Jade Mountain Academy. Her winglet was there. A new winglet came inside,and Flurry had never seen these kinds of dragons. A few of them had four wings and a few had two wings. The history teacher,Moonwatcher,sat with a scroll open. She looked at the dragonets in front of her. “Hello. My name is Moonwatcher,even though most of you know my name. This is the Jade Winglet and this is the Emerald Winglet. In Emerald Winglet,we have Spring,Treecutter,Pitcher,and Snowdrop. In Jade Winglet we have Jackrabbit,Tiger,and Flurry. Spring,give everyone a scroll. We will be learning about the horrible NightWing-IceWing war,from thousands of years ago.” Moon said,two silver scales near her eyes shimmering. Spring gave everyone a scroll. Moon started to read. “Thousands of years ago,a NightWing and an IceWing fell in love. They ran away to the ancient Night Kingdom. The NightWing was named Foeslayer,the IceWing was Prince Arctic. He was the last animus IceWing. The two had dragonets,Darkstalker and Whiteout. But the IceWing tribe thought Foeslayer stole Arctic. Queen Diamond declared war with the NightWings. Queen Villagance,the NightWing queen…” Flurry drifted away. She didn’t bother to hear the rest of the lesson. She already knew this. She raised her talon. “Excuse me,but can I sign up for something? Really quick,I promise.” I also know this already! Moon slowly nodded. “I’m glad you know this already. You can go.” She said, Flurry leaving. The IceWing ran to a sign up area. She signed up for a flying class for advanced flyers,and an extra music cave class. In that,they got to do more music. She also decided to go to the art cave after her history class,which probably ended by now. She was correct. Jackrabbit,Tiger,Snowdrop,Treecutter,Spring,and Pitcher all came out of the history cave. Flurry pretended to be invisible. She walked down to the art cave. There was a spot for sculpting. Two other dragons were in the cave,but they weren’t near her. She pictured a deer she saw while coming to Jade Mountain. Flurry sculpted it with clay. She tried to get every single detail correct. She didn’t realize that she missed an Introduction to Peace,which was taught by Kinkajou. She finished the sculpture. She added color to its eyes. Then she realized that it was time for her next class,after Introduction to Peace. She quickly went to Plants. Mandrake was there. So was the rest of Jade Winglet. “Sorry I was late!” She told the LeafWing teacher. He was looking at a book labeled ‘The Exceptionally Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Insects For The Discerning Entomologist’. He sighed at it. “Oh! Um…hello class! I’m Mandrake. I,uh,will be teaching you about plants and insects. They are separate classes. We are doing Plants right now. We’re learning today how to plant a flower.” He gave everyone clay vases. He gave them little shovels. “We’re going outside. Follow me to get soil!” He announced. The seven dragonets did. When they all got outside,they dug up the ground. Soil! Flurry put her soil into the vase. She got it on herself,and the brown-black clashed with her ice blue scales. “Gross,” muttered Calmseer. Bubble grumbled the same thing a nanosecond after. Mandrake had everyone line up when they were done. He led them back into Jade Mountain Academy and into the Plants and Insects cave. “Now we will put a flower seed into the vase. Add some pollen from another flower,which is up here.” He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. His ears shot up. A flower grew in front of him,in an empty metal pot. The students gasped. That was SO COOL. Flurry’s brain screamed. She grabbed a seed and a talonfull of pollen. When she went back to plant her seed, she noticed a scrap of a scroll tucked inside the dirt. She quickly placed the seed and sprinkled the pollen. Making sure nobody was looking, she grabbed the writing. Quietly,she unfolded it. On a quest you must go,travel high and low. Dragons you will meet.but trust them;they shall help you do this feat. Scales of Ice,scales of Fire,both of you must rise higher. You will receive a prize…in the sunlit skies. It read. “I can rip you,ya know,scroll!” Flurry growled at it. She sighed.
