Hurricane dug her claws into the mud and slipped slightly on the wet stone. She smiled. She would ace this test without difficulty. An old male dragon slipped out of the shadows and stared at the dragonets. His scales were picth black with yellow accents.
He spoke with a low rumble. "Dragonets of all ages in this school, behold the first flight test of the year!" He was loud, loud enough to startle the one year old dragonets in the back."For the four years, you have been going to this school for lessons in flight and learning how to fly in storms!" His voice came out rolling like a river as he spoke.
He spoke again a little louder. "What you will be doing is flying through that storm and grabbing one of those four stones!" He pointed to a small island with four medium-sized stones. "You must come back to this island with one stone in your talons!" His eyes were a gold so bright you could mistake him for having gold stones for eyes. "On your mark....! Get set....! GO!" Hurricane shot up into the air and flapped her wings as hard as she could. The sound of her flapping almost sounded like thunder.
Hurricane soon reached the island. She was going so fast that she needed time to right herself to fly back. She could hear slow wing flaps behind her as she flew. Hurricane landed on the island, and her friend Earthquake landed not too long after her.
Hurricane smiled. The wet stone sliding around in her talons as her smoth scales struggled to get a firm grasp. The old dragon smiled and shooed the dragonets away.
Hurricane pounded her wing's so fast that they felt sore when she landed. She quickly ran into her house and saw her mother standing there. Her mother's pink scales glittered in the torch light, and her purple accents looked beautiful against her scales and soft pink underbelly.
