Faded Stars

== Blurb ==
Blood of shadow, blood of rain
Raised by a heart shattered in vain
Born of ocean, born of snow
With nowhere in the world to call home
Two dragons, one heart
A bond never to be torn apart
Starburst has lived her life on the run. She knew no kindness, no love. The only one who treated her as if she mattered was her mother, Primrose. She raised Starburst on her own, enraged at her previous love. Primrose had warned Starburst that love was a sin, but for Starburst, it sounded beautiful when her mother wasn't ranting on about betrayal. All the little hybrid wanted was for someone to care about, and after the war, it seemed the stars had aligned. Here she was, Jade Mountain.
== Prologue ==
"Deathbringer!" The RainWing shouted, her frill streaking blood red and orange. "Why would you do that! That dragon has feelings too!"
Deathbringer growled. "He was a threat. He was coming after our egg. If he would've found us, he would've either smashed the egg and killed us, or spare the egg and raise it on this hell of an island." He waved his talon at the looming volcano behind him. "Either one would result in our death. We're not allowed to love each other, Primrose."
"Well I'm glad that's a rule," Primrose hissed back. "I hate you. We could've run away. This doesn't solve anything."
"I can't help it," Deathbringer protested with fury. "I'm an assassin. It's in my blood."
"Then I'm ashamed our Dragonet had a father like you," Primrose spat, her words stabbing deep into Deathbringer's heart. As he collapsed down, crying, Primrose grabbed the purple egg. "Goodbye, Deathbringer."
"Promise, please! Wait!"
She turned away without a sound and dashed through the tunnel to the Rainforest. Deathbringer felt as if his world had been torn in half. He looked down at his talons. "She's right. I am a monster."
Moonlight cast down through the canopy of the jungle, turning the egg an eerie, sickly pale purple color. Primrose gently touched the eggshell, feeling as broken as the egg was. Should I really have left him like that? She wondered with guilt. No, don't say that. You don't need him. He's just an assassin. He'll get over it.
The egg splintered, and almost as if on cue, the top of the eggshell slipped away like shattered glass, and a tiny head popped out. It was a velvety dark purple color, it's underscales a silky magenta color. The scales along her back were an ebony black, her spines and white horns fading into a neon pink at the tips. A small teardrop scale rest by the corner of her electric blue eyes, gleaming silver.
Primrose smiled warmly as it beamed up at her. I would feel bad for her NightWing blood, but she's just so damn cute.
"MA! Arwk amak!" The tiny hybrid chirped.
Primrose lifted the dragonet up and cradled it in her talons. The dragonet reached it's tiny talons up and patted the tip of her mother's snout. "Mam!"
Primrose hugged her close. "I'll call you Starburst. I'm your mommy, Primrose. And your daddy," she paused. Should I lie? "Is dead. His name was Deathbringer."
"Mam da dee?" The hybrid trilled, confused.
A rustle in the bushes echoed threateningly around the two. "We have to go, sweet Starburst."
"Goo!" Starburst cooed, reaching her talons toward the sky to mimic flying.
Primrose took off, her pale blue wings fading to black to camouflage in the night sky. Hours passed, her wings tirelessly beating, until she found an island for shelter. Swooping down, she gracefully landed on the cold sand, waves lapping at her hind talons. She walked along the bank until she found a cave, then dove inside. She lied down on her side, and looked at her dragonet, who was fast asleep.
Pulling the dragonet in close, she whispered. "I'll love you forever and ever."
