The Warmth of the Sun

Chapter 1: The Best of Names and Good Intentions

It was mid day. Everything was as it should have been with various animals moving through the foliage and making noise accordingly. However, if one cared to listen, they would hear the mumbling of a dragon from above.

"Banishment! Of all things to befall me, it had to be banishment!" The upset SeaWing flew over Pyrrhia away from the Kingdom of the Sea; away from his home. He only carried with him a satchel that housed a few blank scrolls and a container of ink.

"Honestly, it's a bit extreme for one measly scroll... Well, it was a couple of scrolls, but they were insignificant! It's not like they were 'The History of the Royal Family' or 'The Secrets of the Animus'. And it's not like anyone would miss them. Unlike some dragons, they at least have the treasure to replace them. Is it so wrong of me to want my own collection of scrolls even if they aren't significant or numerous." The SeaWing took a breath and sighed. "Though, in all honesty, banishment isn't the worst thing they could have done. At least this will allow me to make a name for myself without any—".

From amongst the sounds of the forest below, the SeaWing heard the sound of conflict; a mix between a dragon and a big cat. He looked down, but couldn't immediately see what was causing the ruckus. He began to circle in the air while descending towards the ground until he found what he was looking for. While still in the air, the SeaWing watched as a dragonet stood menacingly over a boar carcass and was growling at a jaguar. The jaguar was equally menacing towards the little dragon as it stood its ground.

Thinking it was the right thing to do, the SeaWing swooped down in the middle like a hero and roared in the face of the jaguar with his wings extended. Knowing that it was out matched, the jaguar turned and ran into the forest. With his wing folded back and his body relaxed, the SeaWing began to dust of any dirt or mud that had got on him upon his landing.

"Well, that was unpleasant. But at least you're sa—". The SeaWing turned around to see if the dragnet was ok only to find that they were already dragging the boar corpse away. "Uh, excuse me."

The dragonet hissed at the response while still trying to drag the corpse away. Now that the SeaWing took a moment to look, the dragonet looked like a MudWing. His scales were a traditional brown until you got to the tail end where the scales seemed to turn black. Speaking of the tail, it was a lot more slender and dexterous than any Mudwing he had seen. The MudWing continue to drag his prize with little effort while the SeaWing followed until they reached a small mud hut.

Dropping the leg of the boar, the MudWing let out a scratchy roar into the hut. Three more dragonets emerged from the hut and the SeaWing was shock to see how different they all looked from one another. The first to emerge was a dragonet who's scales were red all over. She was probably the most MudWing looking out of all of them, except her neck was longer than it should have been. The last two were the oddest since they hardly had anything that resembled a MudWing. They were a lot more slender in form and their snouts were triangular a pose to a square look. Their scales swirled with the green of the forest and the red and brown of their den mats.

The SeaWing had never seen anything like this. There were so many questions he wanted to ask, however, he knew there was no one around to entertain them. But what should he do? If they were MudWings, then he could just leave them here and not worry.

"But you're not normal MudWings, are you?", said the SeaWing as he pulled out his scroll and ink. He dipped one of his claws into the ink and began writing.

Jetstream's Tales: First day of Banishment

I have traveled far fromIt hasn't been more than a day since I've left the Kingdom of Sea and I've already made an interesting discovery. It's no secret that in the land of Pyrrhia, there are many kinds of dragons; some of which whose parents are of different tribes. Today, I've found such dragonets on the border of the MudWing kingdom and the forest south of it. Though I have a strong theory as to who the parents may be, I wish to study these dragonets closer to see what they are capable of.
