Wings of Fire: Normal Days (A wof fanfiction)

Hey there! This is a fanfic that I have made, and I put this on Quotev, so why not here? Disclaimer: I do own Wings of Fire in any way, all of that credit goes to Tui. T Sutherland. I only own my oc's in this.
== Prologue ==
Juniper beat his two leaf-shaped wings faster. He wanted to get to the land across the sea where Clearsight came from. Juniper was escaping Pantala, hoping that he could be safe on the other continent. He recalled the scary and confusing events of the day.
Juniper was on his way to a council meeting with Queen Sequoia. His little sister Venus was with him as well. Venus did a flip in the air like a small dragonet during playtime. 
"Venus," called Juniper, "stop behaving like you magically turned one year old from twenty-two."
"Blah blah blah," said Venus while fiddling with a nearby plant.
"No!" shouted Juniper," that's a dangerous plant called the othermind!"
Venus was slow to react. Finally, she spoke up.
"Oh? What's that?"she asked Juniper.
Certain mind controlling, thought Juniper. "A plant that can be used to control people's minds."
Venus seemed excited about this. She used her leafspeak to make it grow. Juniper looked shocked.
"What the heck are you doing?" demanded Juniper,"didn't I just tell you why it was dangerous?"
Suddenly Venus's eyes turned white. She was being possessed by the othermind!
"No!" cried Juniper," Venus!"
Juniper had no choice. He shot up into the sky and flew. He would go to Pyrrhia.
Juniper looked down as a tear shone in his eye. His wings drooped and Juniper felt tired. If Juniper's wings could talk, he was pretty sure that they would be saying stuff like, "Stop it" or "We want to rest." Juniper knew that he couldn't stop. He would fly to Pyrrhia, no matter what. Away from Venus, away from Pantala. After at least five days, he reached the coast of the Sky Kingdom. He wanted to look around, but instead slumped down and slept off. After a few hours, Juniper woke up only to find a deep orange SkyWing looking at him. He jumped up, looking startled.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
"I'm a SkyWing named Elevation" she replied, "but who're you?
Juniper stood up and said," A LeafWing named Juniper from Pantala, which I believe you call the lost continent."
Elevation smiled.
"Hello Juniper," she said," welcome to Pyrrhia.
Timeskip (3 years later)
Elevation looked at her two brown eggs. One would hatch today, she was sure of it. Juniper stood beside her, with a smile on his face. He had been waiting for this moment since he was on Pantala. He had never imagined, though, having eggs with a SkyWing and on a continent far from Pantala. He imagined having eggs with a LeafWing, maybe even a SilkWing, but not a SkyWing. Never a SkyWing. His thoughts were interrupted as Elevation called to him. Juniper rushed over.
"What i-"
He answered his own question, as one of the eggs was cracking. Elevation and Juniper stared intently at it. Soon, the eggshell came off, as an orange dragon with leaf-shaped wings and neon green scales emerged. The parents looked at the newborn dragonet with affection. Juniper took the dragonet into his arms. Elevation looked at the dragonet. He cooed and looked up at the mountain peaks, looking at them for the first time. Juniper and Elevation looked at each other. Juniper gave her a small nod.
"I enchant this dragonet to be a complete SkyWing," she said.
Elevation sighed.
"It's fine. We don't want him to know that he's part LeafWing anyways," said Juniper.
"Welcome to the world little one."
== Chapter 1: The Academy ==
"For heaven's sake, Fire," said Supersonic," stop pulling on my tail."
Fire grumbled and just kept flying. Fire turned to Peak.
"What do you think it'll be like?" she asked Peak.
"Peaceful, 'cause well that's the school motto. And hopefully normal and fun," Peak replied.
Fire rolled her eyes, obviously expecting a different kind of answer from him. The three dragons flew until they reached the tall peak. Supersonic stopped once they landed. In the background there was a NightWing showing dragons a clipboard and talking excitedly. 
"All right, we're here," said Supersonic to his children.
Peak sighed. Even though he knew (or hoped) that Jade Mountain Academy would be fun, he also knew that he would have to say goodbye to his father for the first time in his life. Peak had never left Possibility. His mother and father weren't the overprotective type like Queen Coral, but he had no reason to leave the small, but nice town.
"Goodbye dad,"said Peak and Fire simultaneously.
The two both hugged their father goodbye. Supersonic flew off, which left Fire and Peak walking over to the the excited NightWing. She looked even more excited when she saw them.
"Ah,"said the NightWing," looks like two of the new students. Please tell me your name."
Fire and Peak both stated their names and once Fire left to find her cave, the NightWing, whose name was Fatespeaker, showed Peak his cave.
"Emerald Winglet, just look for the tunnel with the emerald decoration and then second cave on the left," said Fatespeaker.
Peak walked over until he found the tunnel with an emerald on it. He walked into the second cave on the left. Inside, he saw two beds right next to each other. There was a rock ledge, which he guessed was for him. Next to it was a sponge bed. What! I'm clawmates with a SeaWing? He's probably going to holler at me like,"Hey! You destroyed our palace!" That was not fair. He didn't even take part in that; he was four at the time. Peak had wanted to be clawmates with a MudWing or a SandWing or maybe even a RainWing, but a SeaWing? He growled and turned his attention to the scrolls in the corner. Peak was a scrollworm. Even he admitted that to Fire. Supersonic had given Peak a huge collection of scrolls that the library gave away, which unfortunately led him to find out about Darkstalker (what was he doing in a SkyWing scroll!) After reading about him, Peak had trouble sleeping. And a few months later, when he found out that Darkstalker was back he shrieked and never slept again without a night light. When he heard that Darkstalker went back he was so happy and always slept well (after burning all of the scrolls about Darkstalker). He looked at the scrolls and looked at all of them, trying to find a good one.
"You like scrolls, huh?" said a voice.
Peak turned around to find a SeaWing with blue scales. My clawmate, Peak realized. But this dragon did not look threatening at all. Instead, he looked very happy to be here. Mostly everyone was like that, but he had expected his clawmate to send glares at him and talk very coldly to him, but the SeaWing was the exact opposite. Peak's insult that he was about to say faded out and he said something else instead.
"Yeah, my sister calls me a scrollworm, even I admitted to it," said Peak.
Peak's clawmate laughed at this comment. "My sister teases me because I suck at education. I'm Baltic"
"I'm Peak," said Peak.
The two clawmates laughed and conversed with each other all day. This place is great. I even have a clawmate, a SeaWing, that I'm friends with. But little did Peak know, there was a new student this year, but unlike Baltic, this one would be a great bully.
== Chapter 2: Meet Peak's Winglet ==
"Peak?"
Peak woke up on his rock ledge. He blearily opened his eyes to see Baltic.
"What?" asked Peak.
"We're late," said Baltic," to our class.
Peak dashed out of the room as fast as he could. Baltic laughed at him.
"Ha! Got you!" said Baltic.
Peak rolled his eyes and came back. 
"How early is it?" Peak asked.
"Pretty early."
Peak pulled out his welcome scroll and scanned through the list, looking for Emerald Winglet. Finally he found the list of names of the other dragons in his winglet.
"Now we have to go," Baltic said.
Baltic ran out of the room, with Peak close behind. Finally, Baltic stopped, panting at a small cave. They walked inside, where Tsunami was sitting at a ledge. Apparently, they weren't the first ones, as three dragons, a MudWing, SandWing, and IceWing were already there. Peak and Baltic sat down. Five minutes passed.
"Where are they?" Tsunami muttered.
Finally, two dragons, a NightWing and RainWing, walked in and sat down.
"Finally," Tsunami said," Now you all probably know me, but I am head of the school and the SeaWing dragonet of destiny. You are a new winglet, so let's get everyone introduced to each other. MudWing, you go first."
"I'm Coypu," the MudWing said," I have five sibs, even though you don't know what they are."
"I'm Squall," the IceWing said," I hate this place and I'm only here because Queen Snowfall forced me to."
"Okay," Tsunami said," Try to keep it more positive."
Squall rolled his eyes.
"I'm Heatstroke," the SandWing said," I'm distantly related to one of the lines of SandWing royalty."
"I'm Peak," Peak said," I have a sister in Gold Winglet and I like scrolls. A lot."
"I'm Baltic," Baltic said," I'm super bad at studies and stuff like that."
"I'm Magma," the NightWing said," I was brought up on the stupid volcano like most NightWings."
Peak could have sworn that Magma had muttered the name "Moonwatcher" under his breath.
"And I'm Paradise," the RainWing said," I know what happened to Darkstalker."
Coypu raised her hand.
"Didn't he get put back under that mountain or something?" Coypu asked.
"No way!" said Baltic," He probably got his magic taken from him and was killed."
"Can't we go through one day, just one, without talking about that magical NightWing?" Tsunami roared.
The class fell silent.
"You're dismissed," she said.
The Emerald Winglet ran out.
"Wait," Baltic said," Where are we supposed to go?"
"You idiot," Squall said," It's time for lunch at the prey center."
Peak walked to the prey center with Baltic. It was surprisingly organized and not crazy like Peak had heard. Peak noticed Clay standing in the prey center.
"Hey, Clay!" called Peak.
Clay turned.
"I thought this place was supposed to be crazy and chaotic," Peak said.
"We fixed it a while back," Clay said.
Peak walked away and found a chicken and quickly stabbed it with his claws. He sat down next to Baltic who was having salmon.
"So, you know that RainWing in our winglet?" Baltic asked as Peak nodded," She says that she knows exactly what happened to the Darkstalker."
"You know," Peak said," I heard some faint rumors that the one to stop Darkstalker was Kinkajou."
"The little chatterbox in Jade Winglet? Yeah right," laughed Baltic," How do these even travel to the Sky Kingdom?"
"I actually don't live in the Sky Kingdom," Peak said," I live in Possibility, but my parents are thinking of moving to the new town Sanctuary."
"Ah, I have a cousin who lives in Sanctuary," Baltic said.
"What's your favorite palace," Peak asked," Oh wait, stupid question you so obviously like the Deep Palace."
"Yeah, but the Open Palace's structure is looking pretty good," said Baltic," We'll get it done soon."
Peak got up and stepped backwards. He stepped on a black dragon's tail very hard.. The NightWing turned around. He hissed angrily at Peak.
== Chapter 3: A Rude NightWing ==
Peak gulped. All he had done was step on a NightWing's tail. But he had to admit, it was quite hard. The NightWing hissed at him ferociously.
"What did you just do to me?" the NightWing demanded.
Peak, unfortunately forgot his fear and his realization that the NightWing was much bigger than him and rolled his eyes.
"I thought it was obvious," Peak scoffed," I stepped on your tail."
"THE QUESTION WAS RHETORICAL!," the NightWing said," You stepped on my tail, yes, but my tail was broken! You stepped on my broken tail, a NightWing's broken tail, and you expect me to let go of it?"
Yes, please do. Even if it was broken, how much does it even still hurt? What a psycho.
"Yes?" he tried.
The NightWing's face got even angrier, but suddenly he looked surprised and walked off immediately. A few moments later, Clay walked back into the prey center from hunting. He looked at the dragonets in confusion.
"Why's everyone staring at Peak?" he asked in confusion.
The fifty-four dragonets looking at Peak quickly looked away and went back to minding their own business. Clay shrugged and pounced on an unsuspecting chicken and sat down to start eating. Peak himself went back to eating, and when he had finished eating a chicken, he walked to the library with Baltic. The NightWing dragonet of destiny looked up from a scroll written in Starflight, a new kind of language for blind dragons that Starflight had finished making.
"A SkyWing and SeaWing," he said.
"Woah, how did you know that?" Baltic asked in amazement.
"Training with Tamarin. Anyways, here are your library cards," he said holding them out.
Peak took his and put it in a pouch around his neck and went to see some scrolls. He settled on a story about a young SkyWing on his journey across the continent. Baltic took one titled The At The Time Dominant Scavengers. Peak wrinkled his snout.
"You would read history for fun?" he asked.
"But this is about dominant scavengers. It has to be a fiction," said Baltic.
"Try reading more," called out an amused NightWing.
"So, scavengers really used to be dominant over dragons?" Baltic asked.
"I bet you'll find tomorrow's history lesson interesting then," said the NightWing who Peak recognized as Magma.
After a bit of reading, Baltic whispered," Can we talk about the psycho NightWing?"
"Already? We've only been here for twenty minutes!"
But Peak knew he should, so he checked out his scroll with his library card and walked to his cave with Baltic.
"Sooo... who was the psycho NightWing," Peak asked.
"Burly. Diamond Winglet. Clawmates with a SeaWing named Hurricane and a MudWing named Earthquake. He is a total psycho."
"Yeah. Doesn't quite matter. What's so strange about him anyway?" Peak asked.
"Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that."
"You dragged me all the way here just to tell me about this?"
"Something else too, actually," Baltic said," Do you remember when he walked off? And then with impeccable timing, Clay came back?"
"Yes," Peak said," but he might have heard the footsteps coming and thought it was a dragonet of destiny."
Baltic sighed. "See, this is your problem. You never escalate something. So boring."
"Isn't doing that bad? Let's face it, he's just a normal bully without mental twinges to know which dragon is where."
"Not necessarily," said a voice and Baltic at the same time.
Peak jumped and saw an orange-blue RainWing standing at the entrance of the cave. Peak recognized her as Paradise, the RainWing in their winglet.
"How long have you been standing there?" Peak asked.
"For your entire conversation, anyhow, I agree with both of you, but mostly the SeaWing," Paradise said," I agree that we don't have to escalate it too much, but I also agree that it's not just hearing footsteps."
"Yay! A new mystery!" came another voice.
Kinkajou happily skipped around the cave and then left.
"Oh great," Peak complained," another one."
"Let's hope that our winglet doesn't subtract. There's currently only four of the original dragonets in Jade Winglet. And now there's only two, because where the heck are the NightWing and SandWing?" Paradise said.
"Yeah, there was one time when none of the Jade WInglet was here," Baltic said.
"Let's go solve this mystery!" Paradise said, flouncing out of the cave.
Yes, I know, I suck at fanfics, but this is only my first one, so.....
== Chapter 4: Fire's Request ==
Peak woke up with a start. He opened his eyes to see Fire playing a trumpet as loud as she could.
"Fire," Peak grumbled," if you want to wake me up, just gently shake me, not play that hideous trumpet."
"It's not hideous! You only think that because I played it too loud and out-of-tune on purpose."
Now Peak opened his orange eyes completely.
"What are you even here for?" Peak asked," and how did you know that this was my cave?"
"The SeaWing told me! You know, your clawmate. My friend asked him where you were."
Peak realized that the bed of coral was empty.
"So, Baltic got up, went to your cave, and told you that I was sleeping, so you decided to wake me up like you always do at home by playing the trumpet that you borrowed from the music cave?"
"Right, I still haven't asked you yet."
"About what?"
"Peak," she said," I believe that we're being lied to."
"By who?"
"By our parents, of course! They say that we're normal, that we're regular SkyWings living in Possibility. But have you noticed something? Mother always mutters something to Father, every month, one time. On that same day, the day she says something to Father, she says something, probably to us."
"No! We are just normal SkyWings! You just want to be different. Like almost the entire Jade Winglet! You want something like firescales, like Moon's powers, like Turtle's animus power!", Peak said angrily," You see Mother doing something and you completely escalate it."
"More proof!" Fire said, now shouting," Look at this small letter from mother!" She held it up.
Dear Peak and Fireball,
I hope your school is going well! We will come for visits monthly.
Love, Mother and Father
"So?"
"So? So that's proof. She has to come every month so she can do something to us. But what?"
"Fire," Peak asked," what are you asking?"
"Peak, I want you to help me. Help me find out the truth. Help me find out what mother does."
== Chapter 5: Peak's Refusal ==
"No," Peak said firmly.
"No? Why not?"
"Because I don't want to be like the Jade Winglet. Off gallivanting all the time."
There was a hissing sound in the doorway. A dragon with burning scales came into the room and glared at Peak. "Help her, or I will melt out your eyeballs and set your teeth on fire."
"PERIL!," Fire shouted," I said that he's my brother and not to threaten him!"
"He's your brother?" Peril asked with a puzzled look," Then why would you ask me to threaten him?"
"I NEVER SAID THAT YOU SHOULD THREATEN HIM!"
"Sure you did," Peril said," You said, 'Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, threaten Peak.'"
"I think you skipped the 'don't' part of our conversation," Fire said with a sigh," your ears just perk up at the word 'threaten.'"
"Uh, Fire," Peak said," When you said 'friend', I thought you meant some other dragon, not the dragon who freed the nightmare dragon from his mountain."
"THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT! I THOUGHT IT WOULD TRAP HIM SO SUE ME!" Peril shouted.
"Fine, whatever, bottom line: I want you to help me find out the truth," Fire interrupted.
."Again, about what?" Peak asked.
"To find what Mother does every month. And to find out what our parents keeping us."
"Again, N-O, no."
"Come on, Peak," Fire said," why not? Don't you want to find out what Mother and Father are doing?"
"They aren't doing anything unusual," Peak protested," See? You've taken after Mother."
"And you haven't taken after anyone! Mother is like me, and Father is.. is sort of like you, actually, except being a scrollworm."
"It's just a coincidence that Mother and Father are visiting monthly," said Peak," not at all connected to 'Mother talking to us.'"
"So you do-"
"No, notice how I put that in quotation marks," Peak said.
The two bickered for a while until Baltic walked in the cave with a bandage on his wing.
"Hey, so I just got back from the infirm-. WHAT IS SHE DOING IN OUR CAVE?" Baltic said, pointing a talon at Peril.
"She's..Wait, did you say you got back from the infirmary?" Fire said. She turned to Peril. "What did you do?" she asked.
"I asked him where Peak's cave was, that's all," Peril answered.
"If by asked," Baltic said," you mean that she found me in the prey center and burned my wing, then yes."
"Peril," Fire said in a warning voice," we talked about this."
"I know, I know."
"Fine, if you're not helping me, then I'll do it myself!" Fire said, as she and Peril walked out of the cave.
Peak got up and walked towards the small group discussion cave with Baltic. But little did he know, Fire was right, and the change would be happening soon.
Sorry if it's boring. I just wrote this to allow the next chapter to make sense. Do you remember when Peril said she liked the SkyWing that came to replace Flame? I thought I could roll with that!
== Chapter 6: Burly's Secret ==
Almost a month had passed. Everything was normal. Peak went to his classes and went to the library and went to the prey center. Peak hadn't forgotten about his promise to Paradise about finding out more about Burly. Burly had been his usual self, psychotic and rude. He hadn't stopped bullying Peak. He did that almost every day. No, Peak hadn't forgotten, he had simply not wanted to do it. He knew that it was wrong to not do it, but he knew that Burly was normal. Apparently, Paradise hadn't forgotten either.
"You haven't forgotten, have you?" she asked one day.
"No! I- I'm still gathering information!" About a bully who can somehow "sense everything". He just heard footsteps and ran away, that was it. "But he could have just heard footsteps and gone, not have the ability to 'see who's coming without looking.'"
Paradise raised an eyebrow. "You haven't done anything, have you?"
"Errr, no," replied Peak nervously,"Where would I even find this information?"
"JUST LOOK FOR IT IN THE LIBRARY!"
Peak sighed and went back to his sleeping cave. Once he heards snores coming from Baltic, he got up and crept towards the library. Starflight, of course, wasn't there. Peak breathed a plume of fire to light up his surroundings. He breathed some fire on a candle and held it up. Where would I find it? Look in the library, very helpful advice, Paradise, there's only about a thousand scrolls in here.  He decided to look in the unnatural abilities section. Wow, this is my first time here. He finally found a good scroll titled All Known Unnatural Dragon Abilities. He opened it and saw the table of contents. SandWing unnatural abilities, RainWing unnatural abilities-Ah! Here we go! He opened the scroll to the NightWings section. Let's see here. Born blind, born deaf, born without fire, born with- with prophecy abilities? Mind reading abilities?! Peak was shocked. I-I thought they lost them! Centuries ago! Power received from moons. So...that means Burly could be a mind reader! That would explain the “knowing Clay was there” thing. I-I guess some things like this could be true, so could that mean that Fire was right? Peak jerked his head up, as he heard a noise. He quickly dashed out of the library, holding the scroll. He watched as Fire walked inside the library. Of course! She’s looking for the “truth”! Peak crept slowly towards his cave and slept on his rock ledge. Peak had finally found one secret. But what about Fire’s suspicions?
== Chapter 7: Burly Acting Sus ==
Peak yawned and woke up. He checked the shelf next to him to make sure that the scroll was there. Finally, I have it! That means that I don't have to search anymore! Peak saw Baltic looking at him.
"What?" Peak asked.
"What's with the new scroll?"
"IT'S A NEW SCROLL, for heaven's sake that I borrowed from the library."
Baltic shrugged and Peak walked out to his class. The dragonets of destiny had just came up with a different kind of class. Since there were now seven winglets in the Academy, they picked one dragonet from each winglet, all different tribes. That meant that Paradise would definitely not be there. Baltic had free period this period. Since there would be seven winglets, they had chosen five teachers, so seven dragonets in the academy would have free period. They were: Clay (who would have fourteen dragonets), Starflight, Sunny, Webs, and even Fatespeaker. Since there were seven different tribes too, then, as he blew out a breath of relief, Peak realized that Peril would not be there. Fire wouldn't be there either. Peak looked at his schedule again. He had the class with Fatespeaker. Peak didn't even think that Fatespeaker was even qualified to be a teacher, but at least she would be fun to have; she was very enthusiastic. Peak was the first one to sit down, followed by a SandWing, MudWing, RainWing, and IceWing. Fatespeaker beamed at everyone.
"Well, our NightWing should be arriving soon. You won't have a SeaWing, though," Fatespeaker said.
Peak's stomach sank when he saw who was the NightWing. Burly glared at him and sat down as well. But Peak had a question.
"Uh, why won't we have a SeaWing?" Peak asked.
"You were supposed to have Turtle from the Jade Winglet, but, uh, he's not at the academy today, he went somewhere with Tsunami."
"Where?" the IceWing inquired.
Fatespeaker took a deep breath in before blurting it out. "The lost continent."
The what? Apparently, other students were confused as they looked very curious, except for Burly, who seemed...scared? He wondered if Burly knew more about this "lost continent" and if it was dangerous, because it was enough to seem scary to Burly, who didn't get scared easily. Then, strangely, a thought seemed to plunge into him, not of his voice.
Could they find out? No, no, they couldn't possibly find out about me...
Then, the thought seemed to plunge out of him. Burly turned around and looked at Peak. They were far away, but he seemed to be even more fearful when he saw Peak. What? Isn't it usually the opposite? Did the voice come from Burly? It certainly didn't sound like it. But, could mind readers even have telepathic conversations with a non-mind reader?
"Um, SkyWing, it's your turn."
Peak jumped before realizing it was Fatespeaker's voice
"Oh, uh, I'm Peak, and I live in Possibility and..." I somehow heard a voice in my head? I'm definitely normal? "and my favorite color is pale orange," Peak finished.
Fatespeaker started teaching the class. After a few minutes, the class was dismissed. Everyone had a ten minute break. Peak looked at the list again of what dragons in what cave. Paradise was being taught by-ouch, I feel bad for her-Webs. He ran to the history cave where he bumped into Paradise.
"I found an answer to the whole Burly thing!"
"Really?" she asked eagerly,"What is it?"
"I think he's a mind reader, I found this scroll." He held it out.
"Huh, I thought Moon was the only one who could read minds. Well it does make sense, I know for a fact that Moon would sense anyone coming."
"But, no joke, I heard a thought in my head earlier."
"What was it?" she asked, looking curious and eager to know more.
"It was 'Could they find out? No, no, they couldn't possibly find out about me...'"
"Whoa, cool! I never knew mind readers could do that too!"
"What was the thing that no one could possibly find out about them? The mind ability?"
"I.......don't know, but probably."
Peak walked to his next class. He would have the next class in the library with Starflight. He would be with Subzero from the Jade Winglet, Tamarin of the Gold Winglet, Fearless from the Silver Winglet, Pronghorn from the Copper Winglet, Barracuda from the Quartz Winglet, and Earthquake from the Diamond Winglet. A glimpse of brown caught his eye, but it was only a MudWing walking towards the library. Peak walked inside the library, but there was Burly standing in the way.
"What?"
"Did-did, you, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, di-did you hear a voice?" Burly asked.
Peak was surprised. Burly looked scared when he looked at Peak. It was usually the opposite, Peak being scared of Burly. But the question was even more confusing. How would he know about the voice?
"Yes, I did."
"Oh, yeah, yeah! I heard that too! What did it say?"
Peak raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say you heard it too?"
"But I don't remember what it said!"
"Fine. 'Could they find out? No, no, they couldn't possibly find out about me...'"
"Interesting..."
Could he find out? He heard my thoughts, so now he could know about my secret...I'm pretty sure he's figured out the mind reading thing already, but the thing about me helping the Oth-
Burly looked at Peak. "Uh, did you hear it again?"
"Yeah, what's the Oth- thingy?"
"I, uh, I actually, don't know..."
Peak narrowed his eyes. He had found out more about the mind reading ability, but what about this other thing? Helping the something that starts with "Oth".
== Chapter 8: Elevation and Supersonic ==
Sorry for abandoning this, here's the eight chapter!
After class, Peak crept away to find Paradise.
"I found something else," he whispered to her.
Paradise jumped before realizing it was Peak. "What?" she asked, whispering back.
Peak tried to remember what Burly had said. Something starting with...Oth. "Something about something that starts with 'Oth'," he answered.
"Well it would obviously be something that starts with Other, but what? Otherone? Othertalon? Otherclaws? Othermind? Othertribe? Ooh, Othermind sounds cool!"
"Yes..."Peak agreed.
"So, another mystery! Hooray!"
Peak sighed. Oh, great. Not another one.
"Wanna hear some gossip?"
Peak raised an eyebrow. "A RainWing knowing gossip?"
"Hey!" Paradise protested," I'm stealthy!"
"What?"
"You know Coypu, the MudWing in our winglet?"
"Yes..."
"She has a crush on Squall!"
"And by Squall you mean that grumpy IceWing?"
"All IceWings are grumpy, Peak, like Winter for instance."
"Anyways! I'll just go now, my parents are visiting today!"
"Hey...Peak, why does your wing look a little...leaf-like?"
"I dunno, I was born like that, Fire was too and my father was too."
"Okay, bye!"
Peak watched Paradise skip back to her cave and went to Fire's cave. He passed Baltic on the way. Baltic clutched his wing.
"It still hurts! That stupid firescales, why couldn't she have asked nicely?" Baltic mumbled.
Peak winced, remembering the SkyWing with too much fire. He's right. It must hurt to get touched by that monster. Peak caught himself. He had grown up learning that from his parents. He remembered the fight...the one where Peril had killed Horizon. But Peril wasn't a monster. She was good. Peak mentally slapped himself for believing that. Old habits die hard. He walked into Fire's cave to find her reading a scroll.
"Hey! Fire!"
Fire turned around slowly. "What?" she asked.
"Don't you remember what's happening today?"
"Yeah," Fire answered calmly and placidly.
"Why aren't you coming?"
Fire rolled her eyes. "I'll come, I just need to finish looking at this roll of the scroll."
Peak looked at the scroll. He raised an eyebrow. "Is this about...plants?" Peak suddenly realized something. "You didn't-"
Fire smirked. "I did." She held out the willow sprout she had been growing.
Fire always loved that plant, because it was a little more green than usual, and that had gotten her interested in botany.
"Well, come on, Fire, let's go."
Fire flew with Peak out of her cave. The sun looked as bright as polished silver outside. He flew down to the ground with Fire to find two figures coming to meet him. He then realized that it was his mother and father.
"Hello, Peak! And Fire too! How do you like the academy?" Elevation asked.
Peak and Fire both opened their mouths. "It's good!" they said simultaneously.
Elevation got out a necklace for Fire and an armband for Peak and put it on them.
"Mother, what's this?" Fire asked.
Elevation looked at them. "I, uh, got you these from the Sky Kingdom!"
"You went to the Sky Kingdom?" Peak asked.
"Of course! We went there for the award ceremony!" Supersonic said.
The rest of that hour was filled with talking and catching up. Then, they decided to go to Peak's cave. Peak walked along and accidentally stepped on a stick that gave a crack as he walked on it. A fennec fox ran up to him but realized that there was nothing there except the dragons and scampered back to the desert.
Peak shot straight up, along with his parents and younger sister. He flew all the way up until he landed in his cave. Well, maybe I'll show them this cave before-
"Is this your clawmate?" his mother asked him.
"What?" Wasn't Baltic on his way to the library?
"This NightWing, is he your clawmate?" his mother asked again.
NightWing?
"No...what NightWing?"
"Oh, he left! Then who?"
"My clawmate is a SeaWing. What did this NightWing look like?"
"He was almost completely ebony black, but he had silver scales here and there and a silver underbelly. He had many stars on his scales and had green eyes." Elevation replied.
Ebony black, some silver scales, silver underbelly, lots of stars, green eyes. That's Burly.
"No, Mother, my clawmate is a SeaWing named Baltic and...what bed was he on?"
"The rock ledge. Strange, but maybe he was just there reading."
"Reading what?"
"A scroll...about unnatural abilities or something like that."
NO! Now he'll find out!
Peak dashed out of the room as fast as he could. "NO! WAIT!" He ran until he finally caught up with Burly.
Burly turned to look at him. "You know," he hissed, "you know about my unnatural powers that no NightWing has."
"Moon has them too," Peak pointed out.
"Not...my mind reading can do something different than her simple kind, now, what else do you know about me?" he demanded.
"Nothing else except the 'Oth' thing."
Burly stood in place, shocked. "Do you know...anything about that?"
"No, just the 'Oth' part."
Burly looked relieved and anxious at the same time. He ran off with the scroll. "Too bad, scrollworm, find another scroll to find my secrets!"
"No..."
Fire caught up with Peak. "So what?" she asked," It's only a scroll that he stole."
"You don't understand. It was...important. I found answers to Burly's secrets in there."
"Well that explains why he was so upset," Fire observed," What secrets?"
"I found out that he was a mind reader and that he was helping someone or something that starts with 'Oth'."
"Why were you poking in his secrets?" she asked.
"Because someone asked me to," he answered.
Fire looked very angry with him. "So you helped someone find something. WHY WOULDN'T YOU HELP YOUR OWN SISTER?" she demanded.
"Because this was more realistic!"
"More realistic?!?"
"What did you find out anyways?" Peak asked, curious.
"Nothing," she grumbled,"absolutely nothing."
"I would help you, if I didn't have to help someone else."
"And who is this someone else?"
"Well...Baltic and Paradise, but mostly just Paradise."
"YOU HELPED A RAINWING OVER YOUR SISTER?"
"Hey! I know for a fact that what you're searching for is unrealistic!"
"Fine," Fire said," be as uncreative as you want!"
Peak looked at Fire walk away to her own cave. He sighed and looked in the other direction where Burly went. That scroll, he would steal it back.
== Chapter 9: You Gotta Make a Dart! ==
"So, wait," Baltic said," You want to steal a scroll from Burly?"
"Why not?" Peak asked,"It won't be too hard."
"But, Peak, this is Burly we're talking about! He'll definitely notice that you stole one of his scrolls."
"First of all, I'm not stealing it, he was the one who stole it and I'm only getting it back. Second of all, yes, he will notice, but I'll hide it this time."
"You expect to steal-" Baltic talked loudly but was interrupted.
"Ooh, did anyone say something about stealing?" Paradise asked, standing right outside their cave.
"Uh, yeah, wait, you heard that?" Peak asked.
"Baltic spoke a but too loud and now we're both up," Paradise answered him.
"The key word being 'both'!" came a voice from the tunnel on their left.
"Shut up, Magma! It's not my fault you're so grumpy when you wake up!" Paradise called to her. "Anyway." Paradise looked at them. "I could be stealthy and steal it for you, whatever you're stealing!"
"He barely leaves his cave these days, and he'll still notice you," Baltic said.
Peak turned to Baltic. "Do you have to be so pessimistic?"
"Ha!" Baltic said," You're the one who's the realist and pessimist, Peak! I'm giving you a taste of your own medicine!"
"He has a point..." Paradise started.
"Anyway," Baltic interrupted, "Do we have a backup plan?"
"RainWings are stealthy, but just in case, don't you know what they have? A good weapon, puts you to sleep..." Paradise said.
"A tranquilizer dart!" Peak said, guessing it.
"Yep! But we're going to have to make one ourselves."
"How do we-"
"I know someone," Paradise answered with a grin.
Peak and Baltic followed Paradise.
"Soooooo," Baltic started," Who exactly is this someone?"
"You'll see!" Paradise called from ahead.
The three of them walked until they found a cave with jade on it. Paradise led Peak and Baltic into one of the caves...where there was one dragon sitting. A RainWing. A yellow and pink RainWing.
"Hi, Paradise!" Kinkajou chirped," What do you need?"
Paradise smiled. "We need a tranquilizer dart, I hoped you could help us!"
"Sure!" Kinkajou replied happily. "And hi, Baltic!"
"You know him?" Peak and Paradise asked simultaneously.
"Hi, Kinkajou!" Baltic said to her. Baltic turned to Peak and Paradise. "We met in one of the classes earlier today!"
"Anyway," Kinkajou said," Who are you? I mean the SkyWing."
Peak jumped and realized Kinkajou was talking to him. "Oh, I'm Peak."
Kinkajou beamed. "Well, making this stuff by scratch takes a while, but I'll show you!"
"How long?" Peak asked.
"Six months, usually, but there are a few ways to speed up the process!"
"Six-"
"I'll just show you, right now."
Kinkajou walked over to her bed and picked up a scroll.
"You'll need a somnum obliviscatur plant first!" Kinkajou said.
"What's that?" Baltic asked.
"A plant that puts you to sleep and makes you forget what happened recently when you touch it. Make sure to use gloves."
"And the next thing we need?" Paradise inquired.
"Next, we need water from Sloth Lake."
"Sloth Lake?" Peak asked.
"But, Kinkajou, that's in the Rainforest Kingdom!" Paradise exclaimed.
"We can find a substitute," Kinkajou answered.
"Such as...?"
"We can make do with the second largest underground lake. They have the same kind of water. Then, you mix them, and after six mon-"
"But, Kinkajou, six?" Peak asked worriedly.
"You could...speed up the process. Make it a week. By setting it on fire, but...you take the risk of ruining your entire mix and having to start over. But, you can do it!"
Peak took a deep breath. "Seems doable. Come on, let's-Wait, how do we get the somnum obliviscatur?"
"It's in the forest around us."
"Okay, so, first we'll find the somnum obliviscatur, but not right now."
"Why not?" Kinkajou asked.
"Because, it's already evening. We'll do it tomorrow," Peak answered.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Kinkajou exclaimed as Peak, Paradise, and Baltic turned around. "You also have to let a SkyWing breathe fire, a MudWing breathe fire, a SandWing stab their tail into the concoction, an IceWing breathe frostbreath, a RainWing spit their venom, a NightWing breathe fire, and a SeaWing give a light-up scale. That's to guarantee that it'll not melt or be ruined."
"Alright," Paradise said cheerfully, "thanks for your help, Kinkajou!"
"No problem, Paradise!" came Kinkajou's reply.
Peak walked through the hallways and into his cave with Baltic. Peak slept off, thinking about everything that had happened today. His parents coming to meet him and talking to Kinkajou about the tranquilizer dart's ingredients.
----"PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK!" a voice yelled in his ear.
Peak moaned and got up and found himself looking at Fire standing next to his bed.
"What, Fire?"
"I FOUND SOMETHING!"
"About what?"
"About what I asked you a month ago, of course! That you soooooooo rudely declined."
"Really? What?"
"I just realized that we could be hybrids!"
"Really?" Peak raised an eyebrow. "Of what tribe?"
"Of, um, the SeaWings!"
"How so?"
"We're getting this greenish tinge to our wings!"
"So? Only a tinge."
"Fiiiiiiiiine, be grumpy and realistic."
And with that, the fire-colored SkyWing turned sharply and walked out of the cave. Peak got up and walked outside his cave, today was a weekend. Which meant no classes and that all of the students had free time. His intention was to find Baltic and wake up Paradise, if she was sleeping.
He looked around the cave, and then collided head-first into a RainWing. Paradise jumped again before realizing that she had accidentally bumped into Peak.
"Whoops! Sorry!" she exclaimed, "Where are you going?"
"The first ingredient for the tranquilizer dart. I'm going to get it."
"You mean the water from that underground lake?"
"No, I'm trying to find the somnum obliviscatur first!"
Paradise stared at him. "You're going to that forest first thing in the morning? You just get up, and you're like 'I'm going to the forest to get a plant!'?"
"Well....why not?"
Paradise sighed. "Because normal dragons don't get up and go there randomly."
"It's not random, I'm going there to get something important that's completely reasonable!"
"Have you even read the rules?"
"Which one?" Peak asked, though he was pretty sure he knew the answer.
"'No going outside of the school without permission.'"
"Why can't I ask-"
"They won't let you find a tranquilizer dart ingredient! Much less one to put a student to sleep!" Paradise pointed out.
"We could just tell them we're hunting," Peak suggested.
"Alright, then, let's go with that," Paradise said finally with a sigh. "But Baltic wants to come too, apparently."
"I know, I was looking for him. Have you seen him?"
Paradise jerked her head in the direction of the prey center. "Over there."
Peak nodded and they both ran towards the prey center. An IceWing accidentally tripped over Peak's toe and she glared at him before leaving, muttering "Stupid SkyWing, I could've been seriously injured."
Peak rolled his eyes at the mutter he was apparently not supposed to hear, and ran over into the prey center. They saw Baltic sitting near Clay.
"Perfect!" Paradise said.
Paradise held up one claw and waited for Baltic to see it. He finally did, and he nodded and turned to Clay. He heard distinct talking and occasionally heard the word "hunt" and "gather fruits". Clay nodded and then Baltic ran towards the opening of the mountain and flew out, beckoning for Paradise and Peak to follow. Paradise flew outside first, followed by Peak who did a loop in the air. After a bit, they came to a place where the trees started popping up. Finally, they were officially inside the forest.
Peak took a deep breath as he entered the forest.
== Chapter 10: Somnum Obliviscatur ==
The forest was very dense.
Well, of course it was, it was a forest, after all, but Peak had a feeling that this was a bit denser than most other forests. He waded through the leaves, accidentally stepping on a caterpillar.
"This..." Baltic grunted, "...is the densest forest I've ever been in."
Peak nodded slowly in agreement.
Paradise snorted. "The Rainforest is at least ten times denser."
"And you live there?" Baltic asked in amazement.
"She's a RainWing," Peak pointed out, "Obviously she lives in the Rainforest."
"I didn't know that!"
"...Never mind."
Paradise watched a small snail inch across the plants and held up a hand for them to stop before they stepped on it. They stepped around it and watched the area carefully. Until they all realized something.
Peak flapped his wings frantically. "Where do we even look?"
"No idea..." Baltic replied.
"Ditto," Paradise answered both of them.
"So we have no idea where to-"
"No, I said Ditto!" Paradise repeated.
"We know..." Peak said slowly.
"No, Ditto is supposed to be a part of this forest!"
"Why did they name it 'Ditto?'"
"Beats me. Anyway, Ditto is this way!"
And then Paradise lifted up and flew off into the forest on the northwest area. Peak and Baltic shot after her quickly.
CRACK! Peak looked up and saw a tree with its stump slowly cracking and falling. Oh no.
SMASH! It just narrowly missed Peak's front talons, and fell to the ground. He looked up to see Burly, with the darkest look in his blue eyes he had ever seen. He stood up and then asked, "What are you doing?" in a low threatening voice.
"How are you even here?" Peak demanded.
"I saw you coming in. You are up to no good." he said.
"Hmmm...what kind of no good?" Baltic's voice said from next to him.
Burly looked flustered. "SOME KIND OF NO GOOD!"
"What kind?" Baltic asked.
This only resulted in making Burly even more annoyed than he already was, making Baltic pleased, as if this was what he wanted to see. Burly stepped closer to them, and without warning, snatched off Peak's pouch.
Peak reached for it but Burly jumped out of the way.
"Hey! Give it back!" shouted Peak.
He reached for his pouch again.
"Oh, this?" asked Burly with a smirk.
Peak growled.
"What's in here that you're trying to hide?" asked Burly, "and why don't I find out for myself?"
Burly opened the pouch. He looked through the pouch, bored with what he found inside. Peak kept panicking, scared that Burly might find it.
Finally, Burly stopped and laughed at the poor SkyWing. Peak felt sick.
Because in that pouch was where Peak's plans for the tranquilizer dart. And Burly knew them now. Burly could have easily found them out with his mind reading, but thankfully, Paradise knew some tricks from Kinkajou who learned some from Moon, and she taught them to Baltic and Peak.
It didn't matter now; he had found out without mind reading.
"You seriously think a tranquilizer dart would work? That it would work on the greatest dragon in all of Pyrrhia and every other continent along the way?"
Okay, now he's just bragging.
Burly glared at Peak. So apparently, he had heard him.
"I AM NOT BRAGGING! You know, if that's what you're thinking."
..Aaaaaaand he's horrible at keeping secrets. 
This thought thankfully was not heard by Burly who was still irritated about the previous thought.
Peak tried to put a mental shield around his thoughts, which could now probably be only heard as Oh no, as this was the outer layer of his thoughts.
How do I escape?
He looked up just as Burly trapped Baltic in place with the fallen tree. This did not help Burly too much as Baltic continued to deliberately annoy him.
"SHUT UP YOU GOOD-FOR-NOTHING SEAWING!"
Why won't he just (something inaudible)? Burly's thoughts projected at him.
Why did that keep happening? Peak turned to look up. Trees, rocks, plants, riv - wait, plants?
There was a small plant growing there.
Better than nothing.
Peak walked towards it and discretely grabbed it and suddenly started to feel sleepy. He tiredly sighed and felt like laying down and just sleeping, but he knew he had to escape.
But why did he feel sleepy? He slept early, woke up early, and had a completely normal day before the forest, which hardly required any exercise.
With a swift move, Peak hurtled the plant towards Burly, and it hit him on the arm. Burly fell down to the ground immediately. Peak started to feel even more sleepy but he crept over to Burly, who was still alive. He still had a pulse, so he hadn't died...he had just fainted. Or fallen asleep. The tiredness overcame Peak.
And he fell asleep.
