Hummingbird Flight: chapter 1 (WOF fanfiction)

“It’s today! I’m finally going! IT’S TODAY”, Hummingbird yelped as she tumbled down off her soft hammock, which was rocking wildly, with excitement and a bit of anxiety dancing in her emerald-green eyes.     
She burst through the soft fern curtain which separated her and her parents’ room.  Mockingbird, who Hummingbird guessed had heard her yelling, slowly sat up and stretched her large wings out with a yawn. “Alright, go get ready, and we’ll be out in a second”, she mumbled. 
Hummingbird raced back through the curtain, then stopped to calm herself down. After she finished settling, she trotted over to a clay pot she had made when she was younger. She had made the misshapen bowl very carefully, flattening the clay and folding it up into a bowl shape, which, surprisingly, was very smooth. She had then painted the rough, grayish-tan surface with shapes of leaves, vines, roses, and mangoes with a light blue background. 
She bent down and took many large gulps of the morning dew dripping from a smooth bamboo pipe made to gather the dew and put in a water dish. In this case, her clay bowl. 
After drinking, she walked over to pack her things. She didn’t want to take up all the space in her cave, so she only packed what she really wanted. She packed her favorite scroll, which she had gotten for her 3rd birthday. It had been on budgie genetics because she really liked birds, especially parakeets “Thank you so much!”, she had yelped as Mockingbird had smiled at her lovingly. Pulling herself back into the present, she also packed her carving of a parrot sitting on a tree branch. She has carved it rather recently, only a week ago, out of a block of Brazil Nut Tree wood. The delicate feathers were carved so carefully, and she was especially proud of the wings. Lastly, she grabbed a bamboo string blanket, which she, Mockingbird, and Pronghorn had weaved together. She smiled softly as she carefully arranged the stuff in a large grass blade basket her mother had weaved for her and pulled the memories close. 
After Mockingbird and Pronghorn finally came out, they set off with Hummingbird following, hugging her basket close. They stopped by to say good morning to Palm Tree, who they had met when Hummingbird was first learning to fly. She had ended up flying too fast and crashing into a tree, breaking her snout. She had had to have it bandaged tightly with a palm tree leaf, quite ironically. It was fine now, with just a small kink near the end of her snout. 
After that, they continued on to a spring, which had a small rock ledge to jump off of into the cold, clear water below. A small waterfall fell into the pool, spraying a small mist over a bit of the pond.
Near the spring, there were 9 tunnels, made by an animus Nightwing called Nightmaker. 1 of the tunnels, the one to the Sandwing kingdom, was made by a Nightwing named Stonemover instead. She sprinted over to Parrot, her neighbor, who was about the same age as her. 
He had light red scales, and neon green under scales, which, unlike most dragons, ended at the base of his tail instead of going all the way down. His wrists were the same neon green as his underscales, while his talons were bright yellow. His tail faded into maroon, dark green, light green, and finally, yellow. His neck shaded into white the more it went toward his head. His small wings were also white. His head was dark green, with a stripe of yellow running down the top. His long, straight horns were a dark red. 
“Hey”, he said. He never had much to say until the other spoke first. “Hey, Parrot. I thought you didn’t want to go to school”, Hummingbird mused. 
“Oh, I don’t. I came to see you off. Are you sure you don’t want to stay?” 
She barked a laugh. “Of course! I’m so excited!” 
Parrot fidgeted nervously, and with an anxious laugh, he said, “Oh, not me. Staying home with Palm Tree is enough for me.” 
“Be quiet, you! I’ll be fine!”
“Oh. I need to get home. Someone got a jaguar bite, and get this. His name is literally Jaguar.”
“Alright then. Bye!” 
Parrot flitted off through the trees, and Hummingbird sighed, turning to stalk over to her best friend, Stormwatcher
She had navy blue scales, which were so dark they almost looked black. Her under scales were a grayish-white color. She had lighter blue wings, with white wing scales that spiraled inward, like a hurricane. She had pale purple eyes, with a white teardrop scale at the corner of each eye, which strangely, spiked out at the end like a bolt of lightning. Her horns were a light blue.
“Hey, Stormwatcher.”
“Hello, Hummingbird.”
“So, how is everyone”.
Stormwatcher flicked her tail nervously. She had the power to read minds and foretell the future, so she knew exactly how everyone felt right now. “Even me”, she realized. 
“Yes, you too, Hummingbird”, Stormwatcher said amusingly. “Alright. Toucan is really, really nervous, but he is excited nonetheless. Honeydew is trying to act like she doesn’t care, but is jittering with excitement. Tree Frog is acting calm, but buzzing with anxiety. Pirhana is really, really scared. His mom forced him to go. And you, Hummingbird, are overflowing with excitement, which I don’t even need to read minds to know.” After a while of chatting, swimming, and eating, (she hadn’t even eaten breakfast!) everyone was finally gathered in a group and herded through the tunnel to Jade Mountain Academy.
