Note: This fanfic focuses on trauma and PTSD. If you are uncomfortable with this, please do not read any farther. Btw, this is inspired by a fanfiction. However, it is not Wings of Fire, and I sadly don't have the link. I will try to find it and add it here when I do.
== Blurb ==
It's been five years since Jade Mountain Academy burned to the ground, and the RainWing students were all killed in it. It's been five years since the Dragonets of Destiny split to go their separate ways. It's been five years since Tsunami gave up on her friends...and Riptide.
But when her former friends call her back, she must find peace with her past if she ever wants a future.
== Prologue ==
Jade Mountain had practically exploded.
Tsunami was still shocked. She was on the ground, tending to injured students. She could still hear Turtle sobbing, and felt a flicker of pity for her brother and his RainWing crush, along with Anemone. She was sat with Pike by Tamarin's body. Pike had one gray-blue wing around Anemone, but the princess hardly noticed. The queens had gathered, and were talking with Sunny, Clay, and Starflight. She should be there too, but Clay had asked her to tend to Ostrich's wounds.
"Ow! That hurts!" gasped the tiny SandWing, twitching as Tsunami stuck some thick, gloopy sap onto her wound using moss, wiping it around her scratch.
"Tsunami! Over here!" called Sunny. Tsunami left the moss on Ostrich.
"Keep it on the wound," she added, before hastily flapping over to where her friends were. Glory was there too, though grief shone fresh in her eyes, and Tsunami guessed she was thinking of her lost subjects, as well as her friends deaths: Kinkajou and Tamarin. She glanced at Sunny, and saw her moss-green eyes were also sad. Tsunami guessed she was thinking of her father, who had been forced to stay behind and been crushed by the falling rocks.
"What's happening?" she demanded, digging her webbed talons into the thick, mossy floor. She then craned her neck at her mother, Queen Coral, who was cuddling Anemone and Auklet close to her chest.
"We've...we've decided to shut down the school, and we're sending all the students back to their kingdoms," choked Starflight, leaning on Sunny. Fatespeaker come up to his other side, and she had burns darting all across her body. She'd gone back inside, along with Tsunami and Sunny, to try and rescue the RainWing students. 
"We should separate too," Tsunami said suddenly. Everyone stared at her like she'd turned bright raspberry colour, and even Fatespeaker looked shocked as she wobbled on her talons. 
More coming soon...
