She was awoken by a large Mudwing. "Clay?" She said, "Yeah, it's me." He replied. "What happened this time?" She sighed. Clay laughed sheepishly, "Well, you were fighting Serval, and you passed out." Nova sat up. "Is he ok?" Clay nodded, "He'll live. I think his ego is the most injured." Nova got down from the cot. Her leg hurt a little bit, and so did her wing, but other than that, she felt fine. "Can I go back to my cave now?" Clay shook his head. "Your winglet is in History right now," he winked, "but you can skip it for today. I know how boring it is. Just head to the prey center in a few minutes." Nova smiled, "Thanks!" A few minutes passed, and she walked down to the prey center, where the Sandwing, Serval, was sitting. He heard her come in, and his eyes widened. She rolled her eyes, "Calm down. I'm here for the same reason as you." He sighed in relief. She sat down on a rock across from him. "Look, I'm sorry for hurting you like that, but to be honest, you kind of deserve it." He looked at her, guilt in his eyes. "I know...I shouldn't have hurt you or that Seawing. I really did deserve it." He put his head in his hands, and muttered. "I don't know why she sent me here...maybe I was such a problem that she was finally done with me." Nova blurted, "Who?" He looked up, "No one." He snapped. He realized his mistake, and said, "Queen Thorn. My father is an advisor for her, so we live with the Outclaws, and I help out around the place." "My mother died before I was born. She was stabbed by a Sandwing tail. We don't know who it was, but we have suspects: Cobra, or her demon spawn, Sirocco and Rattlesnake." "I'm so sorry. I hope you do figure out who it is." She continued, "I lived in the rainforest with my mother." Serval prompted, "What about your dad? Do you have any siblings?" Nova looked down at her claws, and blinked fast. "My father...died when I was only a year old. He got very sick, and...well, you know the rest." Serval looked at her sadly. Soon, they heard the familiar crash of the bell, and they got up.
Yay for character development :D
