Wings Of Fire: Angelwing's Journey

Chapter 19

The orange Rainwing stared at Angel in silence, and Angel did the same. It was a little awkward for both of them.

"Excuse me?" Redfox finally said.

"Uhm. My name is Angelwing. My mother adopted me in promise to an injured rainwing in the rainforest. And most dragons are saying that's you?"

Redgox let out a gasp, and her eyes filles with tears. "I-is it really you?" She whispered in disbelief.

"My mother is Violetstars. She is a black and purple Nightwing Silkwing Mix."

"It is you!" She exclaimed, running over and basically tackling Angel into a tight hug. Angelwing was so full of joy that tears ran down her face as she returned the gesture. She was finally in her mothers arms, and she felt safe.

"How was Violetstars to you, dear?" Redfox asked, releasing the hug.

"She was great. I always had what I needed, they loved me like i was thier own, same with my sister."

"You had a sister there?"

Angelwing nodded. "She was the best big sister I could ask for."

Redfox gave a saddened smile. "That's great. I only wish I knew where your biological sister was. I sadly lost Dawn when that incident happened.  I don't even know if she survived."

"She did, mom," Angel said, putting a wing on Redfox's shoulder. "I've met her, she's got a mate and she's happy."

"Oh, that's wonderful news." Redfox said, with a genuine smile.

"And she's living in Possibility, if you wanted to visit her."

At this point, Hope had woken up from her sleep, stretching and yawning loudly. Redfox looked at the dragonet with  a smile.

"Who is this little cutie?"

"Oh! This is my niece, Hope. I'm watching her until we can find Moondrop."

"How sweet." Redfox smiled, giving the little dragonet a pat on the head. The little dragonet closed her eyes and smiled as the dragoness did so. Redfox then looked behind Angelwing and noticed the Icewing standing there. "Who's this young fellow?"

Angel looked back, as if she forgot Bluemoon was here for a moment. She gave him a quick  smile before looking back at Redfox. "Oh, mom, this is my mate, Bluemoon."

Bluemoon took a step forward and nodded respectively at Redfox. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ma'am."

Redfox smiled at Bluemoon. "Nice to meet you too. How did you two meet?"

"In Possibility." Bluemoon answered, quickly. Angelwing gave him a weird look, but didn't ask questions. The couple stayed there for a few hours, with Redfox asking Angelwing loads of questions.

It was late now. Two waxing crescents high in the sky. The ground looked like it was full with as many stars as there were in the sky.

Most of the icewings have gone to bed now, but the soft light, from what Bluemoon called Moon Globes, filtered through some of the windows of some of the ice homes.

The Castle was also well lit, no matter where you were in the kingdom, you could always see the tall ice structure.

It was quiet here. There were no crickets, or frogs, or anything she'd hear at night on her journey. It made her miss Dragonfruit, and Dawn, and everyone she'd met.

They were at the castle now, and Bluemoon showed her to a rather large room, with lots of blankets in a couple piles in one of the corners.

"This room is made for other tribes, as it's the one we let our visitors use." He said. "Is it okay?"

Angel nodded. "Yes, thank you."

The two entered the room and Bluemoon laid out a couple blankets in a nest-like way, and Angel placed a sleepy Hope in it. Hope did a couple turns then curled up, falling into a deep sleep. Angel laid some blankest beside Hope and laid down, wrapping her tail around the dragonet. She then looked at Bluemoon.

"Thank you so much for bringing me here, it means the moons to me."

"My pleasure, Angel. I'd do it again for you." He smiled.

"Now, since you did something for me, can I do something for you?" She asked.

"Well, I would really like to take you to my home." He said. "And meet my parents."

Angelwing gave him a confused look. "I thought this was your home."

Bluemoon shook his head. "I live in an island not far from the coast of here. It's an island for any type of Icewing hybrid. No matter what mix you are, you are welcome."

"Wow, but what if you're not an Ice Hybrid? You know, like me?"

"Honestly, everyone is welcome. It was only originally for Icewing Hybrids, because pure Icewings are not the most accepting to dragons who are not 'Pure'. But, everyone is welcome. Even Moondrop spends a lot of time there."

"That must be where she is now." Angelwing said. "So that's our next destination."

Bluemoon nodded. "We'll leave first thing in the morning. Have a good night."

He then turned and exited the room, leaving Angelwing alone.

Angel was a little sad that Dawn couldn't see their mom, but she did tell Redfox where Dawn was, so hopefully Redfox will visit her. She also wished Dragonfruit was still here too. She was happy that Bluemoon was here, but Dragonfruit was the first one to join her on her journey, and honestly, she missed him.

She let out a long yawn, before resting her head next to Hope, snuggling the little drgonet.
