The Silver Scales

The Silver Scales Chapter 1

First Class, New Friends and a Bully

The sun was beginning to set on Pyrrhia, it was a beautiful site, or at least it would have been if Fatespeaker wasn't still waiting for one student to arrive. "Where is she?" Fatespeaker sighed as Sunny walked up behind her. "I don't know Fatespeaker, maybe they got caught up with something?" Sunny asked, "Oh wait, someone is coming!" Sunny said, noticing a dragon flying towards the mountain.

Spirit landed in front of the two dragonesses, panting heavily as she tried to regain her breath. "Sorry...... for being....... Late!" Spirit wheezed, taking a drink from her canteen. "Why are you so late?" Sunny asked her worried something had happened. "I had a vision so I needed to report to both Queen Glory and Queen Thorn." Spirit explained, having finally regained her breath

"Oh, I see, well head to your cave and meet your classmates." Sunny said, "First tunnel on the left, second cave on the left. You are in the Jade winglet." Sunny finished. "Alright, thanks! And again I'm so sorry for being late!" Spirit headed down the corridor as the two older dragons both turned to watch her. Once Spirits' tail disappeared, Queen Glory manifested seemingly from thin air beside them. "Why would she lie?" Glory asked, half to herself, and half to her two friends. Queen Glory had been at the School for the entire day passing out pieces of Skyfire to the students who wanted them. With more Nightwings being hatched underneath the moons more mind readers and future seers were being hatched so Turtle helped his mother gather more pieces from the giant rock that landed in the ocean.

"I'm not sure." Sunny said, feeling hurt that her adopted Niece would so casually lie to her. "Should you talk to her?" Sunny asked Glory. "I will. But I have to get back to the rainforest. Keep an eye on her and I have a feeling that vision was the Kernel of truth in that lie." Glory said before hugging them both goodbye and leaving to the rainforest.

Spirit walked into her designated cave to see a nightwing, an icewing, and Clay? "Clay? What are you doing in here?" She asked him, confused as to why he was in her cave with her classmates. "Waiting for you." He said, moving aside so he could talk to the three dragonets at once. "Your classmates are Mindreader and Princess Avalanche." Claw said, pausing so Spirit could introduce herself.

"Nice to meet you, Mindreader, I'm Spirit." Spirit said, shaking her talon. "Nice to meet you too." Mindreader said with a shy but friendly smile. Spirit then turned to the Icewing Princess. "And it's nice to meet you Princess Avalanche." Spirit raised her talon again but the Icewing just stared at the hybrid dragoness. "Ok......." Spirit turned to Clay once she was done.

"Queen Snowfall, after Winter explained what really happened to Prince Arctic, wanted her tribe to change for the better." Clay began to explain. "So Princess Avalanche was sent here to learn about the tribes and different ways to help her Kingdom grow. Other than the 24/7 training they do, that is." Clay said.

"Not that we NEED anything else, our kingdom works just fine without all the new research the other six tribes are doing." Princess Avalanche hissed. "Yeah see how well you do trying to use spears to fight off a naturally-occuring virus." Spirit huffed, only to get a glare from Clay. "What? It's true!"

"That is one of the aspects, yes." Clay said before the icewing princess could start a full-on argument. "So since i know you both and you are both kind hearted dragons. I want you two to help her in this endeavor." Clay said simply. "I don't mind helping out." Mindreader said with a smile.

"Yeah it would be nice to teach our tribes information to help a fellow tribe." Spirit agreed with a nod. "Good, thank you for both being willing to help the Icewings, I know the two tribes have had a lot of tension between them." Clay said, smiling. "Now you three get some sleep, you have your first class tomorrow."
