'BOOONNNGG' 'BOOONNNGG' 'BOOONNNGG'

" Alright Class dismissed, just remember to study up on Rainwing scale changing" calls Clay as he rolls up a scroll.

Ha, I don't have to worry about that. Raindrop thinks to herself with a smirk as she rolls her scroll up and ties it with a small piece of leather. Now to the prey center, maybe Dandelion will be there. She think happily and walks out of the large cave. Her scales speckle with silver and gold has she makes her way through the crowded hallways.

Ugh, another hybrid

Nightwings

three moons at that scar

why does she look like that

Dragons thoughts fill her mind as she passes by. She shakes her head and holds it high, just remember leaves blowing in the wind. She reminds herself of something her friend Arctic mother showed her. She was the first Nightwing mind-reader in a hundred years and would put their thoughts in raindrops. She smiled a calm smile and braced herself to go into the prey center. They are just dragons, it has been a month, you'll be fine. She thinks to herself and walks in.

She searches around until her green eyes land on a bronze gold colored Sandwing. She slowly sneaks up behind her and pounces on her sending them tumbling, her brown satchel hits between them until they come to a stop.

"Raindrop! " the dragon hisses with a smile.

"Surprised ya didn't I Dandelion" she smirks and gets off her friend grabbing her talon helping her up with a tug.

"So how was dragon anatomy?" Dandelion ask as she holds her skyfire necklace around her neck in her talons

"oh you know, just dragons, bones, scales, wings. The usual" she shrugs and smirks looking around " Hey there's Arctic!" She says smiling pointing at the light purple and periwinkle colored Icewing coming their way.

" Hey you mind reader!" Arctic says and playfully pushes Raindrop," you were suppose to help me on that quiz in Webs."

" Oops?" She says shrugging her wings with a smirk

Arctic laughs along with Dandelion and Raindrop

" what's so funny here?" a voice says

Raindrop swivels her head only to come face to face with a mahogany colored, dark blue eyed Skywing, she could feel the burning heat coming from her scales. Two other Skywing stand behind her

"Sapphire!" Dandelion squeals

" Hey Dandelion, hey guy, I would like you to meet the newest students to Jade Mountain" she says flicking her tail towards a male fire orange Skywing with light amber eyes, two golden rings on his left horn on one on his right. Raindrop sees that he has a silver band on his left talon with two rubies and a black stone. Huh, is that an onyx, or skyfire . she thinks to herself but suddenly sees all of his scars. He had a deep bite mark on his right wing tip, under his chin and down half his neck and the worst one was across his snout. Was he in a war or did someone scar him on purpose. She thinks with a furrowed brow. He's facial expression pretty much said, I could kill any of you in a second with the flick of my tail. The slightly smaller Skywing was completely opposite. Dark blood red scales, unscarred, dark brown almost black eyes. Slight scratch on his underbelly,hmm, look like he tripped of something. The only piece of jewelry was a silver chain around his neck with a black sleek stone attached to it. They both have skyfire, hmm. She thinks with her tail slowly sliding side to side.

" Everyone this is Ember" Sapphire says holding her talon out to the bright orange dragonet, "and his little brother Vulture" She says with a pearly white smile.

Ember just nods his head in a greeting motion while Vulture excitingly begins to talk about the sky kingdom and his life. Wow, he's really peppy for a skywing, and why won't Ember talk, his being so secretive.

" So Vulture, what are your hobbies?" Dandelion asks with her usual kind loving smile

" oh, well I love flying, and hunting, and I really love reading scrolls but Ember says I need to focus on whats around me instead of having my snout inside a piece of paper" He smiles a sarcastic smile at his older brother

" well, it's true" Ember finally says in a deep husky voice

" wow, you can speak!" Raindrop says with a smirk as she lets yellow speckle on her ears

Ember sighs and rolls his eyes and looks around at all the dragons around. He seems angry and nervous all at the same time, strange for a skywing. And his brother is so enthusiastic and talkative. These are some strange Skywings, I think I need to keep an eye on them.

Suddenly a ball of black and green scales come barreling into Raindrop. Dark wings are wrapped around her.

" Guess who?" another deep smoky voice says sarcastically. 

" Let me go Greenie" she says with a smirk and she is released only to look into the golden eyes of her best friend SnakeFinder

" How did you know?" SnakeFinder says

" you're the only one brave enough to actually pick me up" She says nudging his with her wing

" Hahaha, yes, yes I am!" he says with a smirk and puffs his chest out

Suddenly a scream is heard as a thud follows. Raindrop head turns to see two dragons laying on the ground next to the water pool. One a pale green Rainwing and another a dark blue Seawing. But this Seawing had something on its neck. Raindrop runs over and gasp. The rainwing was still breathing just unconscious. But the Seawing had grass and mud stuffed into her gill and a horrified expression frozen on her face. Dead, this dragonet is dead, killed, murdered, she drowned, how could someone do that, why, what did this dragonet do? Raindrop just stands there shocked, someone has murdered this dragonet.....
