The Hidden Tribes - Wings of Fire Fanfiction

Chapter 4 - Fortune

Fortune

Holly and Alpine arrived earlier than the Sandwings, as Moonfrost predicted in her visions. Fortune had only seen a Skywing once before when one flew over Endia River Mountain. But it was brief, and now he saw them up close. Nimbus was a small female dragonet with bright orange scales, long cracked horns and unusually short wings.

Fortune turned his head over to Finch, who was the same age as Fortune and Visionseeker. He had amber eyes and red scales, the same dark red as his father, Alpine. Holly was a Nightwing and Icewing hybrid like them, but also like them, had all the features of a Nightwing. Finch and Nimbus were the same, apparently. However, Nimbus' Nightwing genes could be the cause of her short wings and stubby figure.

"It's been so long since we've seen each other," Alpine said in a deep voice. He was looking directly at Fortune's mother, Silvermoon.

Before they leave we need to make a plan to escape, he thought loudly, trying to get Visionseeker to hear him. Once the Sandwings arrive, distract mom and dad. Then we will finally get out of here.

The only response he got from his sister was a quick glance of approval.

"Yes, it has." Silvermoon was looking at their dragonets, who were studying Moonfrost with strange expressions.

What are they thinking about? Fortune thought, leaning in so his ear was connected to Visionseeker's jaws.

"Nimbus is thinking about how scared she is to talk to Moonfrost," Visionseeker whispered. "Finch is deciding whether he has a crush on me or her." They both couldn't manage not to laugh, and got a sharp glare from Holly in return.

"Well, it's time you both knew," Silvermoon sighed. "Yes, Moonfrost is an animus. She's also a seer. But don't worry, she's not a mind-reader. Visionseeker is a mind-reader. And no, Moonfrost hasn't used her powers. And also no, Fortune doesn't have some crazy ability we don't know about. So you can stop thinking about my dragonets in such a-- a--" She paused, and Fortune quickly noticed tears swelling in her eyes.

"How about the adults talk and the dragonets play while we wait for Sundrop and the others?" Fortune quickly suggested.

And then we'll figure out how to get out of here.
