My memory is trash today, so I don't remember if I posted a chapter already today, and I'm too lazy to check, sooooo here's another one.
Nova saw the looks on her friends' faces, and against her will, she burst into laughter. She couldn't stop, and tears were starting to form in her eyes. They all looked a little hurt and confused, except for Serval, who had seen the others' faces, and also began to snicker. Nova gasped for air, "Give me a second," she wheezed. After she had regained control, "The look on your faces!" Leopard looked sourly at Serval, "I expect you already knew this." Serval shook his head, "She insisted on telling all of us." Nova nodded, "He's telling the truth." Angel and Everest looked at Nova warily. Amber asked, with a voice full of awe. "You're really an animus?" Nova nodded. Everest asked in a slightly haughty tone, "You haven't used any magic yet, have you? Icewing animi spend their whole lives planning out how they will benefit the tribe with their magic. They only get to use it once." Nova replied, "No, I haven't. I was... afraid, I guess, that someone would find out, and something bad would happen...I heard all those stories about animi dragons going mad," she glanced at Angel, and they both thought the same thing: Albatross. "I didn't want to lose my soul and ruin my life, so I haven't used it yet." She said in a quiet, sad voice, "Please don't hate me..." At this, her friends gathered around and hugged her. Amber asked, "I'm with you, no matter what." Serval whispered, "How could I hate you?" Then in a quieter voice, "You're amazing." Nova blushed. Leopard grinned, and said, "You're my best friend! I couldn't hate you even if I tried!" Nova laughed, and said, "Thank you. All of you, I mean it."
Awww friendship.
