Wings of Fire: Normal Days

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.
