WoF as Humans: Dragon Academy !!PART TWO!!

Under

Starbite

This isn't my real name.

I was abandoned as a baby, too young to survive alone, too old to not have a name. I was found by him. And he named me Starbite, after my silver eyes that wouldn't stop staring into the stars.

psh.

like that was believable.

As I morphed back into human form, I could hear the sounds of Kinkajou struggling in Uran, full name Massurana's grasp.

I sighed. He always questioned everything and was too kind for his own good.

My poor adoptive little brother. He was the only RainWing among our little group, always left out. As a NightWing, there were plenty of us. The SeaWings and IceWings constantly argued, even though it was us and the IceWings that had a rocky history. The SkyWings, MudWings, and SandWings got along, more or less.

"Mussurana!" someone called. "Starbite!"

I pushed open the hidden door and into our secret cave system in the cliffside on the northern border of our continent. This was Cardinal (name change, and he is not the dragonet from book 8, hes totally a character i made up lol), a SkyWing. He's twenty, the oldest one here. The youngest ones are from the SeaWings and IceWings, which was probably why they always argued.

"Finally, you're here," he said, beckoning us in.

"Your bright red hair will never fail to make me laugh," Uran said, ushering Kinkajou inside. "Poor decision on your half to dye it that,"

"Hey," Cardinal said indignantly. "Boss found cochineal, I took up the opportunity."

"Unfortunately," Uran scoffed, before I butted in.

"Are the others back?" I asked.

"Akoya and Anabas just got Riptide," Cardinal said. "That wasn't easy, I have to say. They put a heck load of chains on that one."

"Who's Riptide?" I asked, making my way down to the prison.

"The princess's boyfriend," Cardinal said. "Not a very smart move on Boss's behalf, but at least he's a fighter,"

"Ugh," I said. "More boyfriends spewing 'oh she's gonna miss me and she'll tear down the walls to look for me',"

"You're just jealous because nobody has ever said something like that about you," Uran pointed out, and I whirled to raise my hand to slap him.

"Alright, easy," Cardinal said with a laugh. "Let's jail Kinkajou for now. I'm going back out in a bit to get a stray SandWing, and then all we're waiting for now is Creosote and Cholla to come back,"

"Who are they going for?" I asked. 

"Qibli," Cardinal said, unlocking the big doors. "Although we suspect he's going to worm his way out of it, so we expect someone totally different," he

Uran shoved Kinkajou into the cell and closed it.

Kinkajou glared at him. "What happens if I turn into a dragon right now?" she threatened.

"Believe me, they've tried," Cardinal pointed down the hall where more people were imprisoned. "And they learned how to experience the punishments of Boss,"

we turned and left.

At dinner, we heard news from Boss.

This was startling news, since he almost never visits. So we scrambled to prepare for him. 

"Get all the captured ones!" Pyro ordered. "Quickly!"

We all rushed down to the prison and up again with each of our captives. I quickly glanced around at the growling, angry people that had been forced here against their wills. I saw Riptide attempt to turn into a dragon, but fail due to all the people around him.

We stood ready in the halls. 

Me and Uran stood with Kinkajou in front of us, her hands held behind her back. She twisted around to hiss, "Glory is going to find you, and she is going to-"

"Don't make me gag you," I said darkly.

Then the doors burst open.

And there was Boss.

Darkstalker.
