The Forgotten SandWing Princess

Chapter 8

*The next day*

Poison woke up at the same time as yesterday, and as usual, she was about on go on her morning flight, but she found her little companion wide awake.

As much as Tulip loved sleeping, it didn't stop the tremendous nightmares to visit her at least once a month. The nightmares had been a million times more terrible when Poison first met her, but over the years they had reduced greatly.

"Hey sweets, wanna go for a ride?"

Tulip nodded her head mutely, her eyes showing how tired she was.

After half an hour of flying around, Poison decided to show her peculiar little friend the magical spot that she had found.

"I-it's beautiful," Tulip whispered staring at the scene in front of her, a dazed and faraway look in her eyes.

"It is," Poison replied not taking her eyes away from the view. They stayed there for a few more minutes, before deciding to head back.

The sun wasn't fully visible in the sky, so when the pair entered their cave, they weren't surprised to find everyone sleeping.

They soundlessly started doing their own thing, Tulip sketching something in her little drawing book, and Poison reading one of her scrolls.

Sometime later Carnelian and Kinkajou woke up, but none of them started a conversation with Poison. Not that she minded. It was nice not having anyone interrupting her reading.

But Kinkajou probably got bored, so she woke Moon up by screaming and bouncing on her tail.

Poison just rolled her eyes at the scene in front of her but put away her scroll and started getting ready for her first class.

Hearing the 'BONG' sound three times the dragons in the caves started their walk to where their class will be, talking the whole time. Carnelian was in the lead with Poison and Tulip close behind, neither of them making any noise as they walked. Kinkajou and Moon, on the other hand, had a whole conversation going on.

Once they entered their first class, Poison saw Tsunami sitting on the ledge grinning at them.

Poison rolled her eyes, making her way over to the SeaWing at a leisurely pace.

"Good Mornin'," Poison greeted, intertwining her tail with Tsunami's.

At her place, on top of Poison's head, Tulip made grabby hands at Tsunami.

The SeaWing chuckled, obeying to Tulip's request, returning Poison's greeting whilst doing so.

"Looks like someone missed me, huh?" Tsunami said, holding Tulip in front of her face.

Seeing Tulip nod her head, like she understood what the SeaWing was asking her, Tsunami let out a small chuckle and Poison let a small smile slip onto her face.

Tsunami placed Tulip on her shoulders and started addressing the rest of the class as the second bong rang through the walls of the cave.

"Welcome to your first class. Nice work finding the right cave. Carnelian, Kinkajou, and Moonwatcher, right? Oh, be impressed, I've been practicing so hard to memorize all of you. Thirty-five new names! Easy as cows for Starflight, but a whole lot trickier for me and Clay, believe me. I mean, it helps that I knew some of you before, of course."

"Like ME!" Kinkajou shouts.

Poison felt vibrations of two dragons near the entrance and not even a minute later, a small MudWing and SeaWing walked in through the entrance of the cave.
