Wings of Fire: the Angel Hybrid

chapter nine - dreamvisitor

The only thing Virgo knew about her name was that her grandmother shared a name with her. Her mother while she still was there always referred to her as the 'copy' or the 'other IceWing looking one'.

The hybrid was currently asleep, thank goodness for her, but as Avi and Oribi watched over her sleep, something bigger than what they could imagine was happening.

With the murderer of Diadem and Constellation still not yet caught, Virgo couldn't rest well. It was weird how much she hated them but how much she missed them. The worst part was a disturbing little voice sneaking into her skyfire, which she couldn't differentiate from her own.

Virgo's teeth grit in her sleep, and her eyes subconsciously tightened. Avi's head swiveled, looking for the source of disruption, and Oribi carefully looked at her.

Inside Virgo's already bloody dreams, a burnt red dragon had appeared. She was biting at Virgo and screaming at Virgo, and then she threw two heads at her. The burnt red dragon disappeared and a black shadow replaced it. Her dream started becoming sharper at the edges, and suddenly she saw a silhouette of a dragon, her back hunched like a tiger's, her stance similar to that of a predators'.

"Hello, Virgo. I have come with a deal,"

Virgo's eyes widened. "Who are you?" She whispered, barely audible.

"Who? Why, I'm your friend and your enemy." the dragon hissed. "I waited my entire life on a NightWing prophecy, and here you are. I played the long game, and here you are. I think you recognize me. Now my game is thin but it's your only card. I have a... special talent. I was born under the blue moon and any dragon under the blue moon has a talent unknown to the outer world. My deal is that I help you track the killer, and you give me what I want."

"And that is?"

"Make the tribe bow to me. The GhostWings."

"And who are they?"

"In the Fallen Islands. You have a year to find them, a year to make them bow to me. You will be seven maximum when you deliver their queen to me."

"And what's my end?"

"I track the killer."

"That doesn't sound fair,"

"Oh, so you want another deal?" The dragon's teeth became visible- a terrible white against her black silhouette.

"No," Virgo squeaked.

"So deal."

"No."

"Do you want to play?"

"No."

"Then deal. I know your little secret,"

"What?"

"You don't even know it yourself. Cute. Well, deal or no deal?"

"Deal," Virgo quaked. She didn't know what made her so afraid of this dragon. Maybe it was her voice, maybe it was something else. She couldn't connect the dots, and as the dragon faded, the visit took a backseat and much more pleasant dreams came to her throughout the night.
But while it no longer haunted her conscience, her subconscious took to remembering it, until it was embedded in the only part of Virgo's mind she couldn't reach.
-

I don't want to... This is so creepy... BY ALL THE MOONS THAT FISH SHOULD'VE BEEN MINE... No. No way. Eclipse wouldn't. Eclipse and Artemis are perfect sisters! Where is Python?!?

Virgo awoke with a groggy, heavy brain with thoughts coming to her, but much more gently. She decided to focus on one mind in particular, yawning a bit. She was in her cave but she didn't remember how she got there.

Where is Python?!!? I can't believe it! The project is ruined! Oh, that was useless.

Virgo tilted her head. Vulpes was there, working silently, clutching Virgo's skyfire.

Vulpes looked over, realizing Virgo was awake. She smiled and signaled Virgo over to her work desk. Placing the skyfire on the middle of a piece of paper, she turned and showed her a message written in paper: embrace your mind reading.

Vulpes' grin suddenly felt horrifying. Something clicked in her subconscious.

But she just couldn't remember. Vulpes looked like her father. Resembled her father way too much.

For a split second, hell opened up and Virgo stood staring at Vulpes, trying to work out her thoughts. Giving up, she gave an uneasy grin and thanked her, excused herself, then rushed out.

-

Vulpes looked after her friend, thoughts brimming to the top of her head. She needed Livestaker. Right now. She could depend on Livestaker.

- a/n i know they don't have separate caves canon but now they do.

Avi was in her own cave, asleep, and Virgo looked at her. She didn't want to wake her up, but she was in a rush. Muttering uneasily, Virgo dived into Avi's mind and almost screamed outright.

-

Drip. Drop. Driip. Dropp. Drip! Drop! DRIP! DROP! DRIP! DROP!

The landscape melded into an actual dream instead of an increasing rainstorm.

A silhouette against a burning forest.

"Hello, Avocado."

"Futurefinder, not now." Avi pleaded.

The silhouette turned into a NightWing with yellow eyes and completely broken wings.

"Now is the time. You have spectators! And you will become just like me."

"I don't want to."

"Aha! But I did see your future. You could rule the world with me! You could rule the world, Avocado. You've seen it. I've seen it. Please, just consider!"

Avocado lifted her wings defeatedly, then her eyes hardened into rocks. "Who's there!?" Her dream-self yelled. The yell reverberated like thoughts sometimes would, and Virgo quickly exited the mind, and knocked on the cave walls.

"Hmmrgh?" Avi murmured, opening her eyes. "Oh, hey Virgo!"

Virgo smiled uneasily.

Avi noticed this and opened her mouth to ask just as Vulpes bounded in, clearly energetic and she kept opening her mouth and closing it. Finally, she used her claws to write in the air: YOUR WINGLET MY WINGLET SAME CLASS HISTORY

Virgo smiled but thoughts resurfaced on her head, as well as disturbing noises from other dragon's heads.

"Should we grab Oribi?" Avi asked.

Virgo shrugged.

"We're grabbing him." Avi decided.

Vulpes facetaloned. The grump? She mouthed. Virgo nodded and arched an eyebrow at Avi, but the hybrid was already rushing up to Oribi's room, where unsurprisingly he was asleep with a grumpy expression.

Virgo let out a little gasp which almost resulted into a choke.

In his dreams, someone was visiting him. His body remained the same relaxed but grumpy expression.

The dragon's silhouette was the same as the one who had dreamvisited Virgo and requested the same thing: all the GhostWings, all bowing down to her and her only.
