Sunshine In A Sky Full Of Stars

== Sunshine In A Sky Full Of Stars ==
=== Chapter 1: ===
Sunshine
The rainforest was calming as always. The warm sun beamed down upon her scales. Sunshine was relaxed. The days were getting better. The Nightwings had moved in, but so what? She could still enjoy Suntime. They didn’t destroy the rainforest, or disturb the Rainwings, they just lived on the ground in a small town. Everything was amazing. Sunshine could enjoy and relax as much as she wanted too. Their queen was ok, but Sunshine didn’t care. As long as Sunshine was happy, that’s all the mattered.
Sunshine had seen a few Nightwings wandering about. Sometimes they talked to her, other’s they didn’t. But one time, everything changed. “Hello, what’s your name?” Sunshine turned her heavy head to a Nightwing about the same size as her. He had kind blue eyes, and his voice was soft and calming. “I’m Sunshine, you?” Sunshine replied. This is a first. When was the last time I had a conversation with a Nightwing? “Hello Sunshine, my name is Starry, but you can call me Star.” He said with a smile. Was he flirting with her? Someone he just met. “Hello Star. Nice to meet you, but you should go. Rainwings are lazy and stupid, so you shouldn’t get to know me.” Sunshine said sadly. Star looked directly into her eyes and spoke. “I don’t think you’re lazy.” Sunshine smiled. This was better than any Suntime. No one had ever given her a compliment.
Star turned away majestically, then looked at her and smiled. Maybe I should try. Maybe I could. Maybe I could be with a Nightwing. Who knows? Let’s give it a try.
=== Chapter 2: ===
Star
That Rainwing seamed nice. What was her name? Sunshine? Sunshine was kind. Better than the Nightwings he was set to marry, anyways. Even though he was forbidden to be with Rainwings, hold on, that was queen Battlewinners rule, not queen Glory's. Ha! He could be with whoever he pleased. Nightwing or Rainwing for that matter.
Star was walking. Back to where he met Sunshine. Hopefully she was there. There was so much he didn’t know about her, and if he had a chance to be her friend, he would have to know more. Luckily Sunshine was on the same branch he met her on. “Hello Star.” She said sadly. “It’s been very boring here. What have you been doing?” Sunshine, her head tilting to one side. “Nothing really. Had to go to another Nightwing house because my parents want me to marry about now.” Sunshine’s wings drooped and her eyes shone. “Oh….” Sunshine said sadly in the same bored and sad tone. “Anyway, I was wondering if we could learn some things about each other. I’ll go first. My parents are Deathbringer and Glory, so I’m royalty and an assassin. I currently have never killed, and I plan too never.” Sunshine just stared. “I-I… didn’t know.” Sunshine looked scared now. Scared and sad. “Rainwings don’t know their parents, and I venom tested the whole tribe and I couldn’t find anyone I’m related to, so I’m an orphan.” Something small and silver started to fall out of Sunshine’s eyes. They were tears. “I’m so sorry. Do you want me to stay?” Star said hopefully. Sunshine nodded, then smiled.
Ok. I have a Rainwing friend. Let’s see where this leads.
=== Chapter 3: ===
Sunshine.
Sunshine was looking into the kind blue eyes of her first best friend. Star. For some odd reason, he understood her better than any Rainwing or Nightwing ever had. Star was different. At least he seemed so. Sunshine had learned so much about him. At first, she thought he was an assassin who was dangerous, but now… he seemed like a kind dragon who had stumbled into the wrong family.
Sunshine looked directly into his eyes, the light of the moons illuminating his kind blue eyes. “I have to go soon. My parents will be wondering where I am.” Star said after hours of playing together. “Come back tomorrow…please.” Sunshine added. Star nodded then turned to leave.
It was like Sunshine was a dragonet again. Things were going her way for once, and she had an actual friend, not just a pet sloth that a Nightwing ate a few moons ago. Were things really going her way? Were things about to change? Only time could tell. 
=== Chapter 4: ===
Star
“Where have you been!” Deathbringer roared as he landed on the small platform, he called home. “With a friend.” Star answered cooly. Deathbringer smiled. “With Lunar, I presume.” Star didn’t dare answer. From what he knew about his father, he would kill Sunshine if he ever found out about her. Before Deathbringer pointed out he hadn’t answered, Glory landed majestically on the platform. “Deathbringer, stop shouting at our son.” Glory growled softly, looking into Deathbringer’s black eyes. “Haven’t you noticed he’s been going missing for hours every day, and always turns up late?” Glory shrugged. “Leave him be. Whatever he’s doing it must be important to him, and as queen I allow him to do whatever he wants… as long as he doesn't hurt you, me or Rain.” Star breathed a sigh of relief. He could be with Sunshine, and his father had nothing to do with it.
The day passed and Star flew back to Sunshine’s branch. She was sitting there waiting for him. “Star!” She yelled happily as he came into view. “Hi Sunshine.” He gasped, then collapsed onto the ground. “That hurt my wings.” He said in a sarcastic voice. Sunshine laughed, then her face became stern. “I have a question I’ve been meaning to tell you. If you’re a Nightwing-Rainwing hybrid, why do you look all Nightwing?” Sunshine asked. It took a second before Star finally understood what she meant. “Oh. I may look like a Nightwing, but I have one Rainwing ability. I can shoot the venom thing.” Star shot a single elegant drop of venom onto a leaf. Sunshine opened her mouth too and shot one more drop of venom onto the leaf. The sizzling increased, and the leaf turned to dust.
=== Chapter 5: ===
Sunshine.
Star was growing on her. He understood her, unlike others, and he was kind. He was smart and funny and took things very well. Sunshine on the other talon was just a Rainwing who had no friends or family. She couldn’t take things very well. One example of that was when Star told her about his sister, Rain. Sunshine thought of all dragons she ever met. There was few since she spent most of her time on this branch, but she remembered a dragon she met. That Rainwing introduced herself as Rain, and they became friends. That was until she and her family moved to another part of the rainforest.
“Come on, let me show you something.” Star said at his… like… fiftieth visit. Sunshine stood up, her legs flailing. When was the last time I stood up? I think a year ago. When I met Star. As she was flying through the cold night sky, she caught a glimpse of glowing black eyes. Sunshine shrugged. Probably her imagination. She couldn’t think about that. She had a life now. A life with her boyfriend. A life with someone she loved.
=== Chapter 6: ===
Star.
Star couldn’t wait. His wings were twitching as he flew towards Possibility. He had something special in mind. He and Sunshine had been boyfriend-girlfriend for a very long time, and it was the right moment to propose. He wouldn’t spend his life with a Nightwing that only cared about his riches. He wanted to spend his life with someone kind. Someone he cared about, and Sunshine was that person. “Where are we going?” Sunshine whispered, her voice soothing his heavy wings. “I’ll show you once we get there.” Star replied calmly. And once we get there, everything will change. Star thought.
Sunshine landed beside his as he landed next to a small stone building, lit up by torches on fire. An Icewing was waiting for him. “Prince Star?” The Icewing said in a raspy yet cold voice. Star nodded. The Icewing smiled and went to the back of the shop, behind the view of Sunshine and him. “I paid him my favourite sapphire to stay up all night for you.” Sunshine looked sad. “You didn’t have to do that.” Sunshine said. Star shook his head. “I’d do anything for you, and still, this is worth it.” Sunshine looked at him, all her words in a glance. Ok. I trust you. 
The Icewing came back with a small black box, barely larger than his front talon, but a lot larger than Sunshine’s. “Good luck.” The Icewing said, before taking off into the sky. “Star, what is this?” Star looked directly into her eyes, then got down on one knee. Star open the box to reveal a shining emerald ring. “Sunshine, will you marry me?”
=== Chapter 7: ===
Sunshine.
FOUR MOONS AND FIREBALLS! WHAT?!?!? Sunshine stood there in shock, staring at the glittering ring. “I knew it.” A cold voice said behind them. Star shut the box and got up with insane speed. Sunshine turned around to see a large black figure, with eyes as black as the night sky, and shining like the moons. “Deathbringer.” Star growled in a voice that sounded nothing like his own. “Starry-” “MY NAME IS STAR!” Star interjected. Deathbringer grunted. “Fine, Star, I forbid your marriage. It’s either Lunar, or Eclipse.” Deathbringer growled. “No! It’s either Sunshine or no one… if Sunshine wants.” He added softly. “Sure. I’d like to marry you.” Sunshine added, her thoughts racing. Should I have said no? Should I have said yes? We haven’t even kissed. No wait… there were a few times. Under the cherry blossom tree. That was our first. “No. I forbid it. You are not allowed to marry her.” Deathbringer growled in a cold voice. “You married Glory! She was a Rainwing!” Star yelled in the same un-Star-ish voice. “Th-that is different. You are royalty!” Deathbringer yelled, clearly angry. “So was she! In fact, she was queen, and I wont even be king! That would be Rain’s husband.” Star pointed out. Deathbringer was at a loss for words. "J-just go! I want you out of my sight! If you want to stay, FINE! Go see your mother. I want you gone!!" Star gasped in relief. Sunshine was happy. One trip to Star’s mother would decide if they would get married. One trip, one person was all that stood in her way of getting married.
=== Chapter 8: ===
Star
Mother would understand intertribal relationships, as she was in one. “Star, you needed me?” Glory asked as she landed on the platform. “Mom, I… please… look. I’ve been leaving the house for hours at a time to visit her. We tried to get married, but father forbid it. Please help us.” Glory looked at his tears. Sunshine then appeared next to him. Glory smiled. “I always knew Deathbringer would do this. But why in the moons would he forbid it? I allow you to get married. I know an island south of here you could settle on. Promise to visit. For now, I need to speak to your father.”
Sunshine clapped her claws to her mouth and picked up the ring Star was holding out to her. “Come on Sunshine. Let’s go.”
=== Chapter 9: ===
Sunshine
The sickness was getting worse, and Sunshine as starting to worry. Star could barely stand up. Sunshine prayed to the moons that Star would get better, but nothing seemed to work. “Here. Take this.” Sunshine passed a drink of water to Star, trying not to drop anything with her shaking talons. Star gratefully took the water, and when he pressed the cup to his mouth, he coughed, spilling all the water. “I’ll get more.” Sunshine cried as she took the cup from Star’s shivering claws. “Sunshine… take care of Nightsky. Don’t worry about me, worry about her.” Star gasped as he spoke. Sunshine sniffled a cry, then walked away from his bed.
Nightsky was at the top of the island, playing with a twig, and pretending it was a sword. “Hi mama!” The dragonet yelled as she bounced towards her. Sunshine embraced her in a hug, trying as hard as she could not to let all the tears fall. “Can you stay here for a minute. I need to see your father.” Nightsky bounced off happily and nodded.
=== Chapter 10: ===
Star
The coughing was painful, but not as painful as sending Sunshine away. Star wished he hadn’t. Their daughter Nightsky would find out he was sick soon enough. Find out he might never get out of the bed. There were so many things in his life he wanted to do. A wife and a child were some of those things, but there was no way to do the things he wanted to do most. Forgive his father. It would take a miracle to get better. He had one miracle in his life, and that was meeting Sunshine.
It had been years since his last visit to his family. Was his father even alive? Was mother? Was Rain the new queen? He would never know. He would never get out of the bed. What he feared most, was he would never see Sunshine again.
Star was lying in bed as the coughing got worse. He was finding it harder and harder to breathe. Then a pineapple orange dragon came into the cave. They had ruff behind the ears that looked like extra horns. It was Sunshine. He could see her one last time. “Hello Star.” She said sadly. Star opened his mouth to speak, and his last words came out.
=== Chapter 11: ===
Sunshine.
The salty tears hurt her eyes, but it didn’t matter. Nothing did when Star was gone. Dead. His cold body lay at her feet. Sunshine tried to remember his last words. Kind as always. “Stay safe Sunshine. I’ll miss you.” And he took his last breath. Sunshine didn’t even try to stop the tears that were falling. One shinning silver tear fell onto Star's body and onto his snout. There was a faint gasp, and Sunshine turned around in lightning speed. Star's body was moving slightly. “Star? Star?” She gasped. Was this a prank? Star’s eyelids started to flicker and then he coughed. His body was still. “Star? Please say this is a prank. Please.” Every part of her screamed it was a prank. She desperately wanted Star to live. Sunshine pressed her ear to Star’s chest and listened. The pulse was faint, but still there. Sunshine choked on a tear of relief. Star was alive! Sunshine pressed her ear to Star’s chest one last time, and the pulse slowed. The pulse became less and less apparent, until it stopped. Star was gone and there was nothing she could do.
I’m so sorry my love. So sorry I couldn’t do anything. I’m sorry my love. I’m sorry.
