Scraper

== Basic description ==
Scraper is a SandWing/IceWing hybrid that lives in a house in the town of Possibility. He is friends with Rover since about 5 days after hatching, and Brad. Scraper likes Eve. Scraper has red scales, like a SkyWing's, and a pale yellow SandWing mane with IceWing back-spikes. His eye color is a hot pink, and he has a black beak-like formation similar to a NightWing's. He was adopted by Lifetaker in the first month of his life.
== Shortened backstory ==
Scraper was born in a grassland field, somewhere between the rainforest kingdom and the claws of the clowds mountains, the same place where he met Rover for the first time. He was soon adopted by Lifetaker and taken to a hut in the old NightWing kingdom. A few years later he was taken into Jade Mountain academy (at the same time as Moon's vision in book 6), where he made friends with Eve. A few years after later (present day in his backstory book), he worked on the bridge between Pyrrhia and Pantala. He and Rover were actually the first to invent concrete, or as they called it, "artificial rock."
== Backstory book ==
Prologue: 
Where should I put this? Concealed? No, too obvious. Maybe I’ll keep it with me and raise it? No, too dangerous. I have an idea! I’ll hide it under a tree, buried a few inches under, next to a grassland! That’s the opposite of obvious and it’s perfect! I hope something doesn’t find it, though... 
Part 1: 
Chapter 1: 
A new tiny dragonet opens his eyes for the first time. He’s in a dark, warm place, cramped with a hard barrier around him in an ovular shape. He did what instinct told him to, and gnawed at the barrier. When it finally cracked, some sort of brown powder fell into the space, before seeing green above. He kept on cracking until it was easy to escape this barrier. Then he finally made it out into this cold, bright place. He squinted to see. He turned to look at his talons. They were red, the color that he saw when staring at the bright white light in the sky with his eyes closed. He walked outside of the barrier, instinctively looking for his mother, but there was no mother to be seen. “mama?” he called weakly. Nothing came. He called again, louder this time. Yet again, nothing came. Since he had no mother in sight, he decided to use his secondary instinct. He looked at the tree he hatched under, and made a mental imprint. It was now his mother. 
Chapter 2: 
Two days later, he decided to stop sticking close to his “mother” that barely ever moved or helped him, and tried to go find himself some food. He understood that he was much too small to hunt something large, like a pig, so he decided to hunt for something smaller, like a weasel or squirrel. He stood in the tall grass of the grasslands, approaching this small furry creature he found, and when the time was right, he shook his tail, and pounced! On the first try, he landed on the small creature with a thump. When he stood back up, he found the creature unconscious and ate it. It filled his stomach, and then he crawled back up to the tree and went back to sleep. 
Chapter 3: 
Today, this baby dragonet decided to wander his way to the other side of the large grass field (that for an adult dragon is less than a minute’s flight). When he finally crossed to the other side, he found another creature that looked like him, but gray. He yet again looked at his talons. They were still red, the color of warmth. He walked up to the other dragonet and mustered “hi”. The other dragon stood up from his crouching and said “I was catch something!” “Oh, sowwy” The first replied. He then noticed the weasel in front of the gray dragon. He pounced on it and offered it to the gray dragon. The gray dragon offered to share. The red one accepted. And among that they became friends. 
Chapter 4: 
Now having a friend, the little red dragonet decided to sleep far from his useless “mother” today. He slept with his friend’s mother, who happened to also be a tree. From many days on, they played, slept, and hunted together, giggling when sharing a meal or playing. As they aged, the red one dared the gray one to attack a pig. As he snuck up to it, a lot of larger dragons passed over the valley. Now, this isn’t uncommon, large dragons passed over the valley all the time, but this time one was diving down. A black dragon landed near the little gray dragon. “Do not fret, little one,” he said. “I am only here to protect you. I have heard reports of 2 lone dragonets in this area, and I seem to have found one of you. Can you lead me to the other one?” The dragon looked down and saw a pig near the dragonet. “Where you trying to catch this?” The dragon grabbed the pig, killed it, and offered it to the dragonet. The dragonet nodded. Not soon after, the red dragonet walked up, bouncing, as he wanted a bite too. “Now, you can only eat it if you come with me.” The dragonets agreed. The large dragon showed them his back, and the dragonets hopped on. They adjusted on his shoulder, and they were off. The large dragon fed pork to the dragonets (and himself) on the way. 
Chapter 5: 
Not soon after, the dragons arrived at a hut in a remote part of Pyrrhia. It seemed like there used to be dragons living in this area. Once they entered the hut, they all got a bed to sleep in. The next day, they encountered a problem. Bedbugs. How did they know they had them? The group were reactive. The bedbugs would go through the cracks in their scales and feed. Once they located the infestation, the big dragon breathed a tiny bit of fire and the heat killed most of them. Then the big dragon let the younger dragons try the same. They ended up needing to make new beds, but at least they got rid of the problem. For the time being, the big black dragon decided to name the younger dragonets based on what they were doing. The red one was being mischievous and scraping up all the furniture, and the gray one was roving around, bored. The big black dragon named the gray one Rover, and the red one Scraper. 
Part 2: 
Chapter 6: 
Lifetaker prepared breakfast for the dragonets. “Chicken again?” Scraper complained. Rover just eyed Scraper and went back to calmly eating his food. This sucks! I want different food, it’s always chicken! I should learn to hunt on my own someday... Lifetaker calls the dragonets over for school. “Coming!” Rover called back. The dragonets went to the door. “Have a nice day at school today, kids.” Lifetaker said before hugging the two dragonets and dismissing them to school. 
Chapter 7: 
The dragonets arrive at Jade Mountain Academy, their school, ready to learn and have fun with their friends. Rover and Scraper both meet at the library, the sort of designated hangout for the younger dragonets. Firefly flies by and says “Hey Scraper.” Before landing next to her best friend, a Seawing who liked to keep her name secret. “Remember when dragons fought so much?” Scraper tilted his head. He doesn’t ever remember fighting that much. “Yeah, because the dragons of before are so much dumber than the dragons of today. Scraper turned around. Clay, one of the teachers, walked into the room. “Hey, Starflight, my class is asking for some scrolls. I’m asking you go talk and talk at them so they fall asleep and stop asking.” “Very funny, Clay.” Starflight replied. Rover giggled “I would never fall asleep to one of his fascinating lectures.” He said. Starflight glanced at him with a smile. “Of course not, nerd” Scraper replied rudely. Rover shoved Scraper. “I’m glad we’re at this school.” The seawing says. “I mean, I’m glad it exists.” “Me too.” Replies Firefly. 
Chapter 8: 
Toad the Mudwing walks by. “Nice scroll, sucker.” he says, then smacks the back of Rover’s head. “Shut up!” Rover replies and bites him. “See? They’re like the dragons before us, fighting over little things.” Firefly says. Toad and Rover both give Firefly a look that says you’re next if you don’t shut up. Firefly shtus her snout. Many dragons gather around Toad and Rover. “Fight?” a few dragons ask. “Fight!” Some dragons exclaim. For ten minutes, the crowd prevents any of the staff from blocking the fight, but eventually, Tsunami gets to push past the crowd. “Toad and Rover, you two are in very big trouble!” 
Chapter 9: 
Rover looked very beat up. Toad had a few bite marks on his tail. Toad shrugged the threat off, as he’d been in ‘very big trouble’ before, but Rover started to cry. Sunny soon got launched over the crowd by Clay and landed awkwardly. She got up. “What happened here!?” She exclaimed with a frustrated look. The whole room went quiet. If Sunny is mad, it’s a real problem. Rover pointed to Toad. “He called me a sucker and hit me a lot!” He cried. “I hit you because you bit me.” Replied Toad calmly. “BECAUSE YOU CALLED ME A SUCKER FOR READING A SCROLL!!!!” said Rover as Tsunami had to physically restrain him from killing Toad. Toad just picked at his claws. “I was there. It was true Rover was called a sucker for reading a scroll. Please, put Toad in trouble, only.” Tsunami looked at both dragonets angrily, then sighed. “Fine. Toad, come with me, we need to have an important talk. Rover, calm down and see me later.” Tsunami and Toad walked out of the room, only to be followed by “OW, THAT HURTS! DON’T DO THAT!” 10 seconds later coming from the hallway. Rover gulped. 
Chapter 10: 
Rover was called by Tsunami from the halls. Rover slowly and shyly walked through the crowd, which departed around him, and into the hallway. Sunny looked worried. Suddenly, Scraper got an idea. He looked at sunny and put one claw over his snout indicating ‘Don’t tell anybody’. Sunny tilted her head. Then, super carefully and quietly, Scraper followed. He could faintly hear every word from the talk. “Why’d you hit him, Rover?” Tsunami asked. “I’m sorry, it’s just, I really like scrolls, and I hate it when someone makes fun of me for it.” Rover replied. “I get it. I used to be bullied by Kestrel all the time. That no-good ugly-brained skinny red eel!” Tsunami replied. “Tsunami!! You’re a teacher, you know better than than to call him that!!” Rover replied, surprised. “I know, but I can’t say that isn’t true.” She replied. The bell for first period gonged loudly. “Alright Rover, go to class, but calm down and react calmer next time so you don’t anger anyone.” “Okay.” Rover replied, wiping off a tear and looking up to smile at Tsunami. 
Chapter 11: 
Soon as the day was ending, and dismissal was in 10 minutes, Webs, the teacher, announced there was a new student coming into the school. She was a peach color with green horns, eyes, and spikes/underbelly. She looked shy. Scraper thought she needed friends, so he offered later during dismissal. “Wanna be friends with me?” He offered. The little green dragon looked nervous, but she nodded and gave a shy smile. “I’ll show you around the school tomorrow.” He said as he waved goodbye and went into Lifetaker’s arms. 
Chapter 12: 
Scraper introduces his new friend to Rover in the morning of the next day. Very soon the friends are striking conversations and playing games together. Then, as Scraper is about to make a joke, he forgets so he just says “Me when the... when the... uhhh...” And makes a funny face. All of the friends laugh loudly. Firefly and the Seawing glance at them with a confused face. Sarflight turns his head in the direction of the noise and smiles to see that dragonets are making friendships together. He’s happy to see Sunny’s old idea is working. Students are bonding, friendships are being made, and the world is slowly turning into a better place all because of one school. 
Chapter 13: 
Today, in the middle of history class, Fatespeaker came to our classroom with an important announcement. “Everyone, the caves have been inspected in out-of-school hours, and it has been an issue that the caves are not very stable, therefore Tsunami is issuing a code red, and everyone must leave the mountain immediately for further inspection.” Everyone looked around worriedly, and then at the ceiling. It does look a little... suspicious... Fatespeaker called the class to line up outside and hurry outside of the mountain. We did. In a little bit of time, we also saw Stonemover, the big old dragon that lived in the mountain from before the school ever existed, walk out of the main entrance, which is strange, because everyone thought his scales were turned to stone. Turns out, Anemone magicked the stone turn back to his own scales so that he could walk again. Then, all of the dragonets gathered around Tsunami outside the mountain. 
Chapter 14: 
“We have issued this code red because we are concerned about the safety of the students in this school. The halls and classrooms seem to have weak roofs and/or walls. We have professionals coming to check and prepare the building for more teaching, therefore, we are taking a field trip to the rainforest today and talking about how my friends Starflight and Glory changed it forever.” Tsunami announced. All of the dragonets gathered to fly in one big wave. About an hour later, the large wing of dragons landed next to a river right next to the rainforest for a rest break. 10 minutes later, the wing got back up and flew onto the main pavillion to see the rainforest. There were many dragons gathered in wood and straw houses, including Nightwings and Rainwings. There was also a statue of a large nightwing with a smug face. “Hey, Rover and Eve!” Scraper said to his friends. “Race me to that statue!” 
Chapter 15: 
“But we aren’t allowed to!” Rover replied frantically. “I’ll do it.” Eve said nervously. “Alright, I’ll do it.” Said Rover. The three friends dove and arrived at the statue quickly. “Wow, that’s a big dragon!” Rover said. “What’s his name?” Scraper asked. “Look at the engravings on the statue, it says his name was Darkstalker, the best terror.” Rover read. “Why the best terror?” Scraper asked. “I don’t know, we should ask another dragon.” Rover replied. “Hey! Hey you! Yeah, you! Who was Darkstalker?” Scraper called to a random dragon who walked by. The random dragon shuddered with obvious fear in his eyes. “We... we don’t talk about him anymore...” Scraper and Rover looked at each other with a confused look. “Well, we should get back to class.” Rover said. “I would usually never agree with you, but yeah, we should.” Scraper replied. All three dragonets flew back to the rest of the group. 
Chapter 16: 
“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! We already passed entrance checkout!” Eve flinched. The dragonets turned around to see Moonwatcher, a used-to-be student at the academy, looking at Rover and Scraper, frowning. Well that’s smart, using a dragon who is famous for reading minds to make sure dragons who are coming in aren’t planning anything. Moon’s frown softened a little, but she was still really mad. “Come over here.” She said angrily. The dragonets did as they were told. “Where were you? We were worried sick!” She asked. “Oh, we were checking out that statue. Also, who’s Darkstalker.” She looked up from the dragonets, at the statue. She didn’t look like she had fear in her eyes, she had more sadness. “Hey! Not fair, stop scanning my emotions!” Moon turned back to the dragonets. “Anyway” Moon cleared her throught. “I have a long story to tell you.” 
Chapter 17: 
“OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH so Darkstalker was evil and made Anemone mean and made his love leave an entire continent because he was so bad and gave dragons powers and made a tribe almost die and killed his father and talked to you through mind reading stuff and killed off any animuses left in the Icewing tribe?” Scraper bellowed before taking a long gasp for air. Moon stared at Scraper; eyes wide for a second. “That’s... true, but maybe you should write it down so you tell it all in order next time. Also, calm down...” Scraper jumped a lot. “Well anyway these three are obviously ready for the trip, send them with the rest.” 
Chapter 18: 
“Welcome, Scraper, Rover, and Eve! Now, see, the big volcano on the ol’ Nightwing island was about to erupt, and Starflight, me, glory, clay, and sunny had to quickly gather ALL of the Nightwings through that hole.” Tsunami pointed to a hole in a tree with a lot of rock on it. One dragonet asked; “Wow, how’d you get all of those dragons through?” Tsunami looked at the thriving village below them. “Oh, them? There weren’t as many Nightwings at the time. But it was still hard work! Also, Starflight froze of fear looking at the lava, and Clay had to save him with his fireproof scales, but the bright lava blinded him, so that’s why he has a strap over his face. And the rock on that tree? That’s hardened lava!” Everyone gasped. “So you’re telling me Starflight had eyes this whole time?” Some random dragon bellowed. “Yes, he always did. He still does, in fact, they’re just under that strap.” Tsunami replied. “What color are they?” A Rainwing asks. “Green” Tsunami replies. Starflight takes off the strap to show the students. Silence falls over the dragonets. “They’re grey! Tsunami’s a liar!” Everyone starts rambling. Starflight frowns. “They must’ve turned grey because he went blind.” Tsunami clarified. “Ooohhhh.” A random dragonet said. 
Chapter 19: 
“Anyway, who wants to see the old Nightwing island with me?” Tsunami called. Silence falls again but only 2 seconds later, everyone starts saying “ME! ME! MEMEMEMEMEEEEEE!!!” “Well, that’s a lot of you, so we’re going to decide in a game of hide and seek! Firstonetoraisetheirhandisitplusgettogo!” Tsunami says. A few dragonets raise their hands. A few say “What?” “Scraper, you’re it!” Tsunami declares. Scraper jumps for joy. “Now everyone else, hide! The last two found get to go!” Everyone hides in the best hiding spot they can find. “Ready, set, GO!” 
Chapter 20: 
About an hour later, Scraper had found every single dragon. “Wow, nice hiding, you guys were hard to find.” Scraper announced to the wing of dragons. “But the last two dragons I found were Rover and Eve. Nice hiding under a rock, and Hiding in the sand? Great idea!” Tsunami clapped. The three dragonets and the staff walked through the rocky tunnel. Immediately they regretted hiding so good. “Why is there so much lava? Why is there a skeleton right here? Why is there a broken castle thing? How could ANYONE live here? I have so many questions!” Said Scraper. Starflight turned to Scraper. “I have answers for all of your questions. Why is there so much lava? This is a volcano island. Why is there a skeleton right here? Morrowseer, an evil big dragon, got killed by the lava right in this very spot. Why is there a broken castle thing? That’s where the Nightwings used to live. How could anyone live here? The question is, WHY would anyone live here?” 
Chapter 21: 
“Can we go to the ruins, Tsunami?” Scraper asks. “Oh, no. I’m not taking you there that’s way too dangerous.” Tsunami responded anxiously. “Okay, then race me!” Scraper replied, taking off. “NO! Come back here! You’ll get in really big trouble, plus! You might die!” Eve cried. Scraper was already at the entrance by the time she was done. Scraper entered the building. It’s just a bunch of bland empty halls and rooms. This is boring, am I seriously risking my life for this? But soon, Scraper walked by a hallway with a hole in the wall. Ooo, this’ll be interesting! He entered the hole and went through, many, many winding tunnels. Then, at the end of the tunnel, sat a big room with a pot full of lava in the middle, and half of a skeleton on the ground. Lots of dragons died here. But that’s very little compared to the amount that were saved and taken into the rainforest. ”Scraper! Scraper! Scraper!” Scraper heard Tsunami coming through the tunnels. “I see you’ve encountered the throne room!” She said. Scraper’s confused. Where is the throne? Then he sees the skeleton coming out of the pot of lava. He turned around slowly, wide-eyed at Tsunami. 
Part 3: 
Chapter 22: 
Scraper yawned. It was his first day doing community service for his new home; the town of Possibility. He was set to help make the bridge between the continents. He had already graduated from Jade Montain Academy after he passed 12th grade. Now, with so much knowledge in hand, he’s ready to live a good life as a citizen of Pyrrhia. It was a long flight towards the bridge. His old friend Rover was also signing up for community service. Now Scraper could talk to him again! He really wants to see his childhood friends. He remembers Eve, too. He remembers joking with her. But now, it turns out she signed up too. Great! After he finished  
getting ready, putting on his satchel with his keys in it and making himself food, he headed off to the area of the unfinished bridge. This bridge will make getting to that new continent, Pantala, much easier. As he flew to the building area, he scans the area for the familiar scales of his friends. He spots Rover. Finding Eve was hard, considering there were lots of Sandwings there, and eventually, he just gives up. Eve is nowhere to be seen. He lands next to Rover. 
Chapter 23: 
“Hey! Buddy! Long time no see!” Rover exclaims as he sees his friend landing. Scraper smiles. “How’ve you been doing?” Scraper asks. “Good, good. How bout’ you?” Scraper nods. They both stare at eachother for a moment. Scraper leans in and whispers to Rover. “Me when the... when the...” Rover bursts out laughing. Some other dragons look at them and exchange weird glances.” Eventually, Thorn, the governer of Possibility, comes out over a large ledge. “We are all gathered here today to unite ourselves with other dragons, dragons coming from a far away place, Pantala. Our connection with these dragons is generally new, so we have to be careful on the imprint they make of our tribes. Be nice to those dragons. We need the best impression possible on them, so they treat us as well as we treat them. They are also building a bridge from their side. The plan is, both bridges will unite at the middle, then we will make a travel booth, since they insisted their continent stay protected. Now, get building!” 
Chapter 24: 
All of the dragons start chopping down trees and making straw panels for material. Scraper and Rover decide to make the support beams from a material they used to make as dragonets. They ground up this rock with bits of seashell in it into a fine powder. Then, they wet the powder and mixed it with things like dirt and sand. Then they kept it agitated so it wouldn’t dry. Then, they put it into this rectangular mold they had made. Like a day later, they would have a solid brick. They called it “artificial rock.” The two dragons started producing tons of this substance. They were caught crushing the rock. “What are you doing?” Thorn asks. “Making artificial rock.” Scraper and Rover said in unison. “What is that?” Thorn asks. “So basically, it’s a liquid that can be poured into any mold. If you leave it to dry overnight, the next day the liquid will have turned to stone, and you will get a brick of the same shape as the mold.” Rover explained. “Interesting.” Thorn replies. “HEY EVERYONE! I’m going to need this ‘artificial rock’ thing mass produced. Get half our workers onto it.” Two guards nod. and start calling names. Then Rover tells the recepie to Thorn, and she goes to speak to the chosen ones to make it. Meanwhile, Scraper and Rover keep making artificial rock. Eventally, Scraper gets tired and falls asleep. He lands face first in a mold with artificial rock liquid in it. 
Chapter 25: 
The next day, Scraper wakes up with the back of his neck lying in the artificial rock. The mold is taken off, and now a brick is stuck to his back. Eventually, a dragon comes in with a hammer and cracks the brick open. All of the mass-produced bricks are done. Everyone starts replacing the wood and straw with the bricks, and most progress on the bridge is made in no time. More bricks are made over the next couple of days, and the bridge with the booths is finished. Thorn stands proudly, looking at the large immigration booth with her talons on her hips. “Wow. That’s bigger than I imagined,” she said. “Good work.” A SilkWing worker from the other side waves. Almost every dragon on the Pyrrhia side waves back. Scraper smiles as he knows this is a sign that there's good in dragons.
