===Chapter 1: Welcome To The Story!===
"Must I go in?" Autumn asked her mother, Peril, as they started to walk towards Jade Mountain. Sure, they could have flown, but they didn't live very far away, and Autumn really wanted to slow down the process of getting to Jade Mountain.
"Three Moons! I don't see why you hate Jade Mountain so much!" Peril exclaimed, flapping her wings up to show expression, "It's not that bad! And besides, at least you're going to have fireproof scrolls to learn with! I wasn't that lucky!" Peril sighed, bringing down her wings, "I know you're scared, but I struggled a lot, and yet still looked forward to going to Jade Mountain every single year!"
"But this is my first year!" Autumn argued back, "How did you feel your first year, I bet not that great! I bet everyone looked down on you because your a fire scales! I bet they all look at you weird whenever your try to join their game! I bet they run away in tears!" Autumn dropped to the ground, looking at her reflection in the rippling lake ahead. Across the lake, she knew, was Jade Mountain. It was the tallest mountain in the world. Also, where she was about to start going to school. As she looked down at the lake, she felt guilty. Her mom could kill people with her scales, even if she didn't want to. That most have been horrible for making friends. Meanwhile, Autumn couldn't kill people with her scales, which came from being a hybrid. But she could badly burn them.
Autumn decided she had enough of this self-pity. She was going to go into that mountain, and she was going to try to be brave and try to ignore the looks. If not for her, then for her mom. She already had enough to deal with. With Autumn's six siblings and all. Autumn took off from the ground, and joined her mother in the clear-blue sky.
"I know it's going to be scary, but you're scarier!" Peril told her in an attempt to cheer her up. They both started to fly fast towards Jade Mountain, picking up speed as they sailed through air currents, "At this rate we're going to be early!"
Soon enough, they landed on the hard rock base of Jade Mountain.
=== Chapter 2: Jade Mountain ===
"Alright, good luck!" Peril told her before flying away, "Remember, Gold Winglet!" Autumn nodded, and Peril continued flying. Autumn then looked around at the gathering dragons.
"Can I really do this?" Autumn asked herself quietly enough that none of the other dragons around her could hear her. 
"Yes, you can" A dragon with seemingly thousands upon thousands of jewels had come up next to her. Most dragons would gap in awe when they saw her, but this dragon was Autumn's best friend, Amphitrite. She was the daughter of Tsunami and Riptide, and loved sparkly things. She had a bit of a big ego, but Autumn loved her. But she still knew to be careful, Amphitrite was an astoundingly good lair. But she almost never lied to Autumn, from what she knew.
"Thanks, Amphitrite!" Autumn thanked her, suddenly, a strong gust of wind knocked both Autumn and Amphitrite into each other. They ended up a heap of red and pale blue scales. Autumn, embarrassed, quickly got up. She could have hurt Amphitrite! Luckily, Amphitrite didn't seem burned. Autumn quickly looked around. Dragons of all color were knocked over, "Should we maybe go inside?"
"Yes! This wind is blowing all my pretty jewels away! I wonder how many I've lost already!" Amphitrite fretted as she took off from the ground, getting ready to fly. Autumn quickly joined her in the air, and they started flying into the cave. The gray stone walls had ferns covering them in certain areas, and a board made of birch wood had posted their schedules and assignments.
"Huh! Im going to meet my entire winglet tomorrow!?! What if I dislike them, or what if they dislike me?" Autumn landed below the board as she fretted, "Or what if their bullies! Or what if-"
"They'll be fine. Just act like you can kick them to the floor if their mean" Amphitrite cut in, flapping her wings, "Honestly, stop caring what other people think! If you have anything to worry about, make it the fact that you have your first class with copper winglet" 
"W-what?" Autumn asked, curious and scared.
"You know the Icewing in copper?" Amphitrite asked, curiously staring at Autumn for a moment.
"No" Autumn answered questioningly as she looked at Amphitrite. The gleam in her eyes matched those of her pearls, and her light blueish scales caught the sunlight, "I mean, I doubt I do"
"Then I'll let you figure it out. I need to find my winglet, anyways. See you later Autumn!" Amphitrite then flew off towards where her winglet, Silver, sleeping caves were. This left Autumn all alone in the dark hallway.
" I guess I better look for my sleeping cave" Autumn murmured to herself. She brushed some dirt off her scales and started to walk down the hallway that seemed to lead towards the Gold Winglet sleeping corridors.
After a while of walking in the dark, Autumn finally found a tunnel that had a small wooden sign hung over it that said, "Gold Winglet Sleeping Caves This Way!"
"That sounds promising" Autumn started to pick up pace, going a little faster than she meant. She knew she would still be early, but she was so curious as to who her clawmates were. Soon, after only a bit of walking, she stumbled upon a cave. It had her name and her clawmates names on it. But Autumn was in such a hurry she missed her clawmates names.
As soon as Autumn got inside, she set to work looking around the room.
The room was shaped as a circle. All the walls and floor were flat. On the ceiling, there were three even circles that formed a triangle shape. They each took up a good amount of the ceiling. There were two hammocks made of dark-green vines that tangled in a hammock-like pattern. They looked sturdy enough. Most likely fireproof too. The other sleeping area was a small moss bed. It sat right in-between the hammocks, right against the wall of the cave. There was another moss bed too. This one was right under one of the three sky-open circles. It was basically a ledge covered in moss most of the way up the wall.
There was a scroll-shelf, too! All the books on the scroll shelf were the same reading levels, and almost all of them were dragonets of destiny or historical. Apparently someone in her winglet likes history. Among all those history, were scrolls written by Queen Coral. That was odd. Autumn understood, though. Now that Coral was dead, her scrolls would technically be historical objects. Atop the spruce wood scroll-shelf, there lay a compass and a set of binoculars.
Hmmmm, Autumn wondered, I wonder if someone in my winglet wants to either make or study history. Autumn pondered over this for a second, then decided it wasn't worth it. As she waited for her clawmates to arrive, she explored the cave a little more. There were feathers lining the hammocks, and seashells lining the moss beds. She also discovered that on the left side of the doorway (The bookshelf was on the right) there was a small knick in the wall full of different types of feathers and seashells. Above it, it read "Use these to customize your area! To get more (Or even more advanced furniture) try leveling up in the Jade Mountain Levels! This will give you access to furniture a level less then you can't find or earn. To get a piece of furniture, you could get it as a reward/prize, find it by exploring, win something, or trade for it! Good luck!"
Gosh, that system was so complicated. Autumn legit hated it.
But she tried to make sense of it in her mind, along with stuff she already knew.
Well, for one, she knew Jade Mountain Levels were this thing that if you explored enough, or got good enough grades, or won a competition, you could level up. She also knew that the winglet[s] with the highest average level[s] would win a prize of sorts.
She also knew that a single dragon could win something for being a high enough level.
For example, if you were "Starting To Fly" aka Level 10, you could win a couch for your sleeping cave and gain excess to a secret area.
Prizes for being a high enough level include; Access to Secret Areas, Access to Rare Fish & Food, New Furniture unlocked.
Well, that was all that Autumn knew. Hopefully she wasn't missing anything important. That would be horrible! What if her winglet blamed her? That would be worse! she really didn't want to disappoint her winglet. Autumn's claws nervously twitched as she started to fidget with them. While she was doing this, she heard footsteps. She stopped fidgeting and just stared blankly at the wall. Suddenly-
"Hello?" A voice echoed. 
=== Chapter 3: Clawmates (WIP) ===
A small Icewing walked into the cave and came up to Autumn. Autumn swung around curiously, wondering who this Icewing was. She was a very pale white with a small tint of lavender, and wore a necklace with icicles hanging down from it. She also wore a silver bracelet on each of her legs and on the end of her tail.
"H-hi!" Autumn stuttered, nervously looking back and forth. She didn't know what to say! The Icewing's majestic presence had her gaping in awe. Suddenly realizing that her jaw was hanging open, she shut it quickly.
"Im Brittle Nightshade!" The Icewing told her, smiling as she told Autumn, "But everyone calls me Brittle!" 
"Oh- what should I call you?" Autumn asked, afraid to mess up and say something stupid. But she suspected she already had. 
"Oh, just Brittle" The Icewing answered causally, "Nothing too over the top-" The Icewing stopped, turning around quickly. A figure was standing in the doorway. 
"These pieces of trash are my clawmates!?!" The dragon exclaimed, her tail thumping on the floor, "I thought I would have some luck, I mean, I am royalty!" Brittle twitched angrily, as if she knew this dragon. Meanwhile Autumn hid in a corner, trying to be seen least as possible. Her orange and red scaled tail swiping across the stone floor. She knew that she somewhat knew the dragon from her scrolls, but she couldn't exactly place who it was.
