The RainWing Stories

Sorry if it's a little boring, I just felt like writing something. I changed Koi's name to Delta, first because I like the name more, and second, because I started writing another story (Flaming Ice) that has a main character who is also a SeaWing-RainWing hybrid, and also is called Koi.
== Part One: They Meet ==
=== Chapter One ===
Delta hurried along the streets. It would be faster to fly, but the Rainforest was a continent away. So of course, she had to take the shipment of cattail reeds to the Rainforest. Why? Because her boss, a grumpy MudWing named Coolabah, said so. As Delta took off, the reeds slung into a sling around her neck, she stretched her neck up to catch the sunlight. If she had to fly across Pyrrhia for some reeds, she might at least let her scales get some sun. She landed as the sun began to set somewhere in the south of the MudWing kingdom, and curled up. She hadn't really minded being given this job, or going to the Rainforest. Both her parents, Semarang and Chromis, lived on the outskirts of Queen Glory's kingdom, and Delta hadn't seen them in a while. Or her sister, Tucuxi, who still lived in the Rainforest. As Delta woke the next day, she decided to keep flying. She was almost there anyway. As she flew down to enter through the canopy, her sharp ears heard the snap of a branch and a dragon muttering to themselves under the trees. As she dived through the green leaves, she looked around. It took Koi's eyes a moment to spot the source of the muttering, but she suddenly noticed a yellow-green dragon examining a branch they'd picked up and broke into bits. Koi relaxed; this dragon must be a RainWing. "Hello there!" she called. The strange dragon nearly jumped out of his scales, and turned his eyes to Koi's dark indigo scales (dark indigo today. Delta changed her colour daily at least). "Uh- hello- um, hi." the strange dragon said. Delta noticed his scales didn't even change colour when he jumped. He must have great control over his scales. she thought. "I'm Delta, what's your name?" Delta asked. As the strange dragon turned his head to speak directly at her, Delta noticed the glint of glass and realized he wore glasses. "Mantis." he said. "Well, technically it's Professor Mantis, but I've never seen myself as better than anyone, so..."
"Mantis?" Delta said. "That sounds like a HiveWing name."
"It is." Mantis said, sounding pleasantly surprised she'd noticed. "I'm half HiveWing."
"Woah." Delta replied. "I'm half SeaWing. What a coincidence." Mantis nodded, quiet again. "What are you doing all the way out here?" Delta asked.
"Well, I work as a scientist." Mantis replied. "I research better materials to build the village- that is, the NightWing village- out of. So, less flamable, more waterproof, stronger." Mantis grinned as he waved his branch. "Surprisingly difficult to find fireproof materials in a rainforest." Delta laughed. "What about you?" Mantis asked. "I'm delivering cattails." Delta answered. "I deliver things from my village near the Diamond Spray Delta to the other kingdoms. I mostly just accepted this so I could spend some time with my family."
"Interesting." Mantis said. "Well, I should take my research-"
"Your broken branch."
"My research back to the lab." Mantis smiled ironically. "Well, we call it a lab. It used to be a prison constructed by Darkstalker, but a lab was more useful. Even if the RainWings avoid it like the plague."
"Can you blame them, though?" Delta asked.
"No." Mantis replied. "Say, seeing as we're going basically the same way, why not go together? I could use the company, seeing as my colleagues think that there's little else to be discovered about the materials we use, but I think otherwise." He launched into a long talk about the relative strength of SilkWing silk and how it was waterproof at the very least and how he proposed attempting to construct an alloy out of it and the leaves they used for the rooves. Delta smiled. She liked this jumpy, smart dragon already.
=== Chapter Two ===
As the two hybrids reached the NightWing village, Mantis nodded politely to Delta. "It was nice to meet you, Delta." he said. 
"It was nice to meet you too!" Delta replied, and watched Mantis fly away. She turned towards the upper branches of the trees, and took off into them. Flying deftly through the web of wood and vines, she caught sight of a flash of blue. Turning back, Delta momentarily saw nothing- then a smile appeared out of nowhere. "Hello." said the RainWing, revealing his dark purple scales. "I remember you." he said. "Delta, right?"
"That's me." Delta replied. "And- it's Mangrove, isn't it?"
"It is!" the RainWing said, pleasantly suprised. "Are those for us RainWings?" he gestured to the bundle of reeds.
"Oh, yeah!" Delta said, unhooking the sling from her neck. "Wow, forgot completely about these."
"I'll take them to the village, if you like." Mangrove said, holding out his talons.
