Book 16 The New Prophecy

Prologue 
There was an egg in the abandoned Night Kingdom
Alone.
They had no idea where its parents were, but they sensed they needed to take it. 
Oh, they also used animus magic to show where its parents were, but they died in the Darkstalker battle. 
The two dragons were a SandWing named Scorpion and an IceWing named Eternal.
So they had to take it for it to survive. 
After some time and examination, they learned that the NightWing was born under two moons.
“He’ll have some powers, so let’s protect ourselves.” Eternal said. 
“Alright.”
SNAP! Scorpion snapped his talons together.
“That was simple.”
“I know,” Scorpion said, knowingly.
“Ok,Ok. That was too easy. Have you thought about losing your soul?” Eternal asked. 
“You use your magic a lot.”
Scorpion pointed his talon to a leather strand on his wing.
“This makes me have infinite magic.” He said matter-of-factly.
“Smart.” 
Suddenly they heard a crack from the egg.
“It’s hatching!” they said in unison.
They hid behind a boulder.
“Urple.” The new dragonet squeaked.
The dragonet walked toward the boulder, like he heard people talking.
“What?!” Eternal said in confusion. “Didn’t you protect my thoughts?”
“I protected MINE, but I thought you would protect yours.”
“Well anyway.’ Scorpion said,dismissively, “I’M going to name him.”
“No!” I’M going to!”
“And what do YOU know about NightWing names?.
“Er, well—”
“Exactly. Their names are based on what they do.”
“Oh so we’ll watch it to see what it does?”
“No, I'll ask the scroll.” 
Scorpion pulled out a blank scroll that had a label that said, ‘The Answer Scroll.’
‘What is this NightWing’s Talent?’he wrote in his neat writing.
‘Breathing Fire’ It responded.
“Hmm.” Scorpion wondered. “What about… Flamebringer.”
“Ungry” chirped the dragonet. “ I think he's hungry?” said Eternal, as if he were trying to translate a scavenger—Human, whatever nonsense they called it now— that didn’t speak dragon.
“Yes, he does need food,” said Scorpion.”I can see that he’s hungry.”
“Here, how about this?” said Eternal, handing the dragonet a seal that he snapped into existence. 
“Gulp” The only thing left was a pool of  blood.
“Burp” snorted the NightWing. 
Both dragons quickly turned, “Didn't we just give it the seal?” “ Where did it go?” asked Eternal. 
Scorpion pointed to the little NightWing who’s belly was in the shape of a ball.
“Wow, he must be REALLY hungry!” exclaimed Scorpion. “He ate that right up!”
Scorpion pulled out his ‘The Answer Scroll’.
‘What do NightWing dragonets like to eat?’ 
‘Anything, really.’ It responded.
“Well if we keep giving it food, it’ll never learn to hunt,” Eternal said.
“Alright.” Scorpion said, “Let’s teach it.” 
  
===== Chapter 1 =====
At the darkest hour of the night a lone NightWing roams the night sky. 
Swoosh! The NightWing smoothly glides through the trees of the rainforest, searching for prey. 
He spots a monkey out of the corner of his eye.
He swoops to go catch it, but it sees him and jumps away. 
The only thing he ends up doing is smashing his snout against the branches.
“Oof!” 
Flamebringer hit the rainforest floor with a thud, right in front of Scorpion.
“Sigh.” Scorpion sighed “ETERNAL! GET OVER HERE, YOU   SUN-DRIED-LIZARD!!” yelled Scorpion.
“HEY!” 
Eternal came bounding over, angry.
“What did Flamebringer do this time?” 
“When hunting a monkey, he crashed into a tree. You need to use Stealth, Flamebringer.” Scorpion said, tired.
“Right,” Flamebringer answered.
Then he heard Scorpion and Eternal talking about a place called Jade mountain. He heard snippets like this;
“ —yes let’s send him there”
“No he needs to stay with us—”
“LISTEN TO ME YOU IGNORANT CACTI!”
“NO! HE’S NOT GOING, YOU SEAL GUTS!”
Scorpion stabbed him with his tail barb.
“AURAGH!” Eternal screamed.
His chest regenerated quickly. 
He blasted Scorpion with frostbreath.
The marks quickly faded away. 
“Alright, alright, let’s calm down—”
“YOU!? YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN!?” 
Flamebringer blasted them both with fire.
Scorpion and Eternal looked at him, stunned.
“What did you just do?” Eternal said, his rage brewing.
“Wait, wait, that was pretty impressive. Your flames are getting better, Flamebringer.” Scorpion said surprised.
Then Scorpion thought for a moment.
“Flamebringer, if you could have one thing animus touched, what would it be?”
“Well, I was thinking,... Maybe a ruby that gives me enhanced fire?”
“Alright, that’s simple. Let’s see, how am I going to word this… ah ha! Alright.”
Scorpion picked up some rocks off the ground.
He whispered,”I enchant these rocks to turn into a ruby in the shape of a flame on a necklace, that when wearing it grants the user enhanced abilities and the gem changes to match that. I also enchant this so that when it finds an owner it never leaves them until they die.”
Suddenly the rock turned into a ruby necklace that had a gold center. 
“Here” Scorpion handed Flamebringer the necklace, and he put it on. 
Immediately after, his scales shifted and got a red tint.
“Wow, thanks.”said Flamebringer, 
“You're welcome. Scorpion said "And you should probably test it out!” 
“Ok”. he responded.
Flamebringer charges up and he’s about to breathe fire, but Scorpion shouted, “NO!”
Flamebringer stopped charging.”What?”
“I’ll teleport us to a cave so you don’t burn down the forest.”
“Wait, You’re going to do wh–” Eternal stammered. 
Poof!
They emerged in a small cave.
Scorpion had a shroud of sand around him. 
“URUGH!!!” Eternal yelled. 
“I HATE SAND.” “Good to know,” murmured Scorpion, seeming not to care one bit on the topic.
“Now, Flamebringer,you can test your fire breath”.
“I still HATE sand” yelled Eternal in annoyance. 
Fooaaashh!
“Not on me, little buddy! Scorpion yelped, inches away from the flames.
“I don’t like this,” warned Eternal ”There is way too much heat in this cave! Between piles of sand to a NightWing who has more firepower than a Skywing I think I’m going to go mad!”  
“Alright,”
Snap.
“Where did you send him?”asked Flamebringer.
“To the Ice Kingdom, hopefully he’ll like it there.” explained Scorpion.
“Ha!” Flamebringer laughed.
Then his face got more serious. “You can just do that? Just snap him away?”
“Yes, I’m an animus. Well, a smarter one, at least.”
“So If you could have just sent him somewhere else, why didn’t you? He seems like a jerk.” 
“I’m not cruel, Flamebringer. I hope you don’t think of me that way.” 
“I don’t!” he said, defensively.
“Good, because that would disrespect me.” Scorpion responded.
“Oh,Ok.” Flamebringer responded quietly.
“How would you like to go to school?” Scorpion asked.
“I–I’m–m not sure.”
“Alright. Maybe later, but you are going to eventually.”
“Ok.”
===== Chapter 2 =====
Flamebringer didn’t really have friends. 
He only had his two thousand year–old mentors, Scorpion and Eternal.
But they thought that he needed dragon friends HIS age.
Flamebringer wasn’t really sure if he wanted friends his age; he hadn’t really talked to dragons before.
But Scorpion seemed so sure that he needed to be with other dragons.
Besides, ‘going to Jade Mountain Academy would be good for social interactions’ Scorpion had said.
“I don’t think I’m quite ready for school,” Flamebringer explained. 
“Too bad.” Eternal had responded grumpily. “You’re going there whether you like it or not.”
“No,”Scorpion had said. “He is going, but he can decide when.”
How about never. Flamebringer thought, angrily.
“–in the next moon cycle, of course,” Scorpion said as if he had read his mind.
“Alright. I’ll select a date.”
“When the second moon becomes full.”
Eternal laughed, but then quickly closed his snout.
The sky had two moons, and one was full, and the other was two days away from becoming full.
“Why you–” snap.
Flamebringer was quickly cut off by Scorpion snapping his mouth shut.
“Alright, that’s your decision.” Scorpion said mildly.
“You’d better start packing! Eternal said with a laugh.
Flamebringer groaned and went off to pack his stuff.
Why do I have to go to school? Flamebringer thought with a sense of confusion.
I’ll just sit there doing what, make friends? 
‘At Jade Mountain Academy you will learn to harness your powers. You never know when you might be in a life or death scenario!’ Scorpion had said, a bit cheerfully for the matter. 
Flamebringer was confused by this, because, like when would HE of all dragons find himself in a life–or–death scenario?
He was packing when a thought hit him like he had hit the tree.
“How long will I be there?!” he asked, desperate to know the answer.
“Oh, about five years.” Scorpion responded calmly. 
“Five YEARS?!” He shouted, waking up a few birds in the trees.
“Of course.” Eternal said. “What did you expect?”
“Maybe five days?” he said, hopeful.
“Pah!” Eternal interrupted. “In the Ice kingdom–- 
“There is lots of nonsense about school, and proper education.” Scorpion finished.
“Hey,it’s true!” Eternal exclaimed. “REAL Icewings would NOT go to school with other tribes!”
“Too late.” Scorpion said “Smart dragons know that tribes working together is a force to be reckoned with!”
“Hmm. Well if you put it that way, then I suppose you’re right.”
“So where is Jade Mountain Academy located, if I’m going there I should know where it is… right?”
“Oh It is located somewhere in the south, near the border of the rainforest, " answered Eternal.
“Eternal, just why? It’s actually located at the bottom of the Claws of the Clouds Mountains,”
“Ok, thanks Scorpion, at least someone is guiding me in the right path.” siad Flamebringer. 
“We’ll I’m off!”
“Hold It, hold it, you have none of your stuff packed?” Said Eternal “Yes?” Flamebringer had answered.
“Ok, you're good to go!” said Eternal. 
“But I have none of my stuff packed!” Flamebringer protested.
“I know. Can’t you see sarcasm when you hear it?”
“Arrrgh.” Flamebringer growled.
“Go finish packing.” Scorpion said. “I’ll deal with Eternal.”
Flamebringer rushed outside, and then was teleported back to his hut in the rainforest.
He quickly gathered his belongings which included; some animus-touched objects that Scorpion gave him, stuff for his cave, and some snacks for the way. 
Eventually Scorpion and Eternal poofed in front of him, Scorpion covered in sand.
“Hey!” Eternal whined. “Why is there ALWAYS sand when you teleport?!”
“That’s the way I enchanted it.” Scorpion replied. 
“Why?!” 
Because I like sand and I never thought I’d need to teleport with somebody.”
“You guys ready?” Flamebringer asked?
“Yes. Let’s go.”
==== Chapter 3 ====
‘Pant, pant.’
“Come on,how can you be tired already?” Eternal yelled over the rushing wind.
“I haven’t flown this far before!” Flamebringer yelled back, with a twinge of annoyment. 
“Too bad, we’re not stopping.” Eternal responded.
“But what if I Scorpion wants to? He snapped back at him.
“Then he can stuff a seal up his snout. We’re not stopping.”
“HEY YOU TWO!” Scorpion called from the front. “STOP BICKERING!”
“Ya Eternal stop bickering!” Flamebringer said at the same time as Eternal said, “You can’t boss me around!”
“Well, I’m the only one who knows the location of the new one!” Scorpion called back.
Later, they arrived at Jade Mountain Academy.
“See you later Flamebringer!” Scorpion called to him as they were taking off.
Eternal called, “Goodbye you little pest! Have fun at your hugging and friendship school, while we’re on an adventurous quest without you!”
“Hey!” Scorpion scolded Eternal. “You weren’t supposed to tell him that!”
He went inside, and Sunny handed him his Map scroll and his Schedule scroll.
His Schedule scroll looked like this:

So Flamebringer went to the sleeping caves to find his clawmate.
When he got there he was greeted with an enthusiastic cheer as a brown and green LeafWing piled on top of him.
===== Chapter 4 =====
The LeafWing tumbled out of the cave with him.
“Hi!” he said, overjoyed.
“I’m Spruce! What’s your name?”
“Flamebringer.” he mumbled quietly. 
“Cool, just out of curiosity, why do your scales have a-bit of red on them?” Spruce asked.
“Oh ya, it’s because of this,” Flamebringer grabbed his ruby necklace. 
“It was made by animus magic!” Flamebringer explained.
“Wow! I’ve never met one! But do you know an animus dragon?” 
“Oh ya, he’s a SandWing.” Flamebringer answered.
Then Flamebringer asked, “Is it cool to be a LeafWing?”
“Oh, yes. I really like the rainforest on Pyrrhia! I’m going to live there when I’m done here.” he responded, excitedly.
“Cool, but can you get off me now?”
“Oh, yes! Sorry!”
“That’s fine, I’m going to the library.”
“Alright, bye!”
Flamebringer went to the library, and Starflight gave him his library card.
But just then the gong rang and Spruce ran in and said, “Come on! That's the first warning!”
Flamebringer looked at his schedule and the first period said ‘Talk circle’. 
He followed Spruce through the hallway until he got to a cave labeled, ‘Classroom with Tsunami!’ 
He went through the rest of his classes that morning then went to the ‘Prey Center.’ 
There he sat with the rest of his winglet, wondering what Scorpion and Eternal were doing.
Eternal’s words rung in his head, ‘ Bye! Have fun at your hugging and friendship school while we're on an adventureous quest!'
