Transported: A Wings of Fire story

Groundhog Day

Turtle opened his weary eyes before yawning and getting up off the ground.

He had earlier woken Winter up to send him off with Daniel and Star to follow what they described as a 'Tracker' and that it could give them a lead on how to stop the troubling prophecy from happening.

When he awoke, he expected to find Qibli, Moon, and Kinkajou awake, but no. Instead, he found himself on cool stone floors.

'W-what? Where am I?' Turtle thought. As he looked around and gathered his bearings, he realised he was in his sleeping cave, back at school.

His face fell into deep confusion as he finally entered the familiar open corridors.
Analysing his surroundings a thought came to Turtle's mind.

'Wait what if the others are here too? If so.. Did someone kidnap us?'
Turtle walked down the open corridor, the holes in the walls acted like windows and let what appeared to be the late morning sun shine through.

Turning the corner into Moon's cave he found Peril and Winter setting up some of his enchanted fireproof playing cards.

"Oh hey, Turtle! How's it going?" Peril said happily.
She placed the cards face down and dealt some to Winter. Moon was also in the cave though she wasn't playing, she was in the back reading a scroll.

'How odd... Isn't this exactly what happened the day we met Hurricane?'
Suddenly however Turtle's heart rate skyrocketed when he remembered Moon could read minds.

His hand instinctively reached for the Skyfire rock on his bracelet which earned him an odd glance from Winter who was watching him.
"You alright? You look like you just saw a ghost," he said, tilting his head to the side.

Peril and Moon also glanced up as they heard this, they were about to say something but Turtle quickly shut it down.

"I'm fine, just uhh, felt a bug on my scales," Turtle lied, "I'm fine,"
He stared back at Moon who was looking intently at him.
'She must be trying to read my mind... Thank moons for Skyfire'

"Hey Moon, what are you reading about?" Turtle asked causally though there was a deeper meaning behind his words.
'If I remember correctly, Moon was reading a scroll about Ancient Dragon tribes that day. So If she's reading the same scroll then something's up'

He awaited a response quietly, Moon tried to break into his mind for a few more seconds before she gave up.

"Oh this? It's just a scroll on Dragons, nothing you'd probably be interested in," she responded before burning her head into the scroll again.

"Can I take a look at it?" Turtle asked, refusing to give up his theory.
Moon shot him an odd look.
"Really? Normally you're not interested in these sorts of scrolls"

Peril and Winter also shot him odd glances, "Are you sure you're feeling alright Turtle?" Peril asked.
Turtle sighed deeply, "Yes I'm sure, I'm just feeling like reading today for some reason," he shrugged to make his act look real though he was actually lying and only wanted to read to see if it was the same scroll.

The rest of the dragons in the cave exchanged wondering glances.
"Well, I don't see why not, here you go," Moon said as she handed the scroll to Turtle.

He opened it up and started reading.
Moon looked at his eyes as they darted from line to line.
Soon however he found the title he was looking for.

There it was, the title clear as day.
'Ancient Dragon tribes and figures from before the scorching'
Turtle half smiled as it proved he was right, this was just a repeat of the day they met Hurricane.
