The Forgotten SandWing Princess

Chapter 9

Poison soared in the sky touching the clouds, enjoying the feeling of the cool air brushing against her wings. She wanted to fly high and then do a free fall along with other tricks, but she held back. She didn't want Tulip to fall off.

"Do it," Tulip whispered, holding on tighter to my horns. Her voice barely audible.

"You sure?" Poison whispered back, even though every fibre in her body was filled with excitement, she was afraid to break the peaceful silence, fearing that it will disappear.

Poison felt Tulip nodding her head and that was all the confirmation she needed.

Poison flew up above the clouds, feeling the warmness of the sun rays glaring down at her wings. She did a flip in the air. Tulip's contagious giggles making Poison laugh with her. She flew a little higher and finally tucked in her wings, falling freely from the sky. Her eyes fluttered close, a peaceful and radiating smile on her face.

Once she sensed the ground coming close to her, she opened her eyes and just like yesterday, she opened her wing, gracefully cutting through the air she fell into a peaceful flying pace.

Flying closer to the direction Moon was in Poison watched amusedly as Moon swiftly killed a random mountain goat.

"Her movement are precise; she's got a good stance. Hmm..." Poison muttered softly.

"Well, dummy if you were listening to the introductions, you would have known that Moon over there lived in the forest for all her life, so she would need to have good hunting skills to survive," Tulip said to Poison, and even though Poison couldn't see her she was pretty sure that Tulip rolled her eyes at her.

Poison simply ignored her and joined the small crowd that had gathered around Moon.

But what she didn't notice was a certain dragon staring at her with mixed feelings.

They wondered how someone with such a high arrogance could look like a cute and innocent angel in the sky. How she could just so easily fall to her possible death, but swirl up at the perfect moment so gracefully.

And that smile- that beautiful and adorable smile. How could it so easily take their breath away? Was it the fact that it was so rare to see her with such a peaceful and happy expression or was it simply just how genuine it was. How such a small thing as flying, something done on a regular basis, was able to make someone smile like they won a lottery.

Whatever the reason was, Winter knew one thing for certain.

He wanted to see her smile more often.

=================================================================================================================================================

Poison started gliding back towards the prey centre with the others. She forced the peaceful expression to fall off her face and form back into her signature emotionless face.

Even from a respective distance away from the prey centre, Poison could already hear the ruckus going on. She rolled her eyes, slightly amused yet very irritated.

Just as Poison was about to change her direction and abandon her winglet, instead planning on finding a peaceful spot in one of the mountains to grab some fruits and eat in peace, her eyes landed on Moon. Moon was wincing, like she was in pain.

Poison let out a sigh. If Tulip was right about her not spending her life with the other NightWings on their hidden kingdom, then Moon was likely to have zero experience about controlling her powers.

Poison casually fell into a peaceful flying pace next to Moon, allowing the NightWing to let out a little yell from Poison's unexpected movement. Which was expected because they never really conversed properly.
