Aggro's Secret

Chapter 2: Aggro's Destiny and Fears

Tsunami's P.O.V

I sighed softly as I turned back to look at Aggro. "Ok Aggro. We need to tell you the prophecy, because your the missing SkyWing dragonet of destiny." I told the young fire dragon. I took a deep breath and I told her the prophecy.

The Dragonet Prophecy

"When the war has lasted twenty years . . .
the dragonets will come.
When the land is soaked in blood and tears . . .
the dragonets will come.

Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue.
Wings of night shall come to you.
The largest egg in mountain high
will give to you the wings of sky.

For wings of earth, search through the mud
for an egg the color of dragon blood.
And hidden alone from the rival queens,
the SandWing egg awaits unseen.

Of three queens who blister and blaze and burn,
two shall die and one shall learn
if she bows to a fate that is stronger and higher,
she'll have the power of wings of fire.

Five eggs to hatch on brightest night,
five dragons born to end the fight.
Darkness will rise to bring the light.
The dragonets are coming. . . "

"Yeah soooo... that's the prophecy that we were born to stop. And you are part of that destiny too, Aggro."

Aggro blinked and turned to the other Rescue Riders, who all looked absolutely confused and a bit suspicious and shocked. "Aggro, why didn't you tell us about this before?" Leyla asked the fire dragon. Aggro looked down at her feet and avoided looking Leyla in the eyes.

"So... does this mean you're not a Fire Fury?" Summer asked Aggro. Aggro sighed softly and nodded her head. "I never was a Fire Fury, Summer." She told the Fastfin sadly. I sighed and patted over to Aggro and took a seat next to her.

"Wait just one second! What the heck happened to you all?" Asked Winger. I turned to stare at the blue dragon with a small frown forming on my face. "That's kind of a long story, Winger." I told the light blue Swiftwing with a long drawn-out sigh and a shake of my sky-blue wings. He just nodded his head in response and dug his claws into the grass.

"But is Aggro ok with this?" Cutter asked me. "She doesn't have a choice!" I growled. "None of us do! We were born to stop the war and we were all taken from our families as eggs, the Talons of Peace kept the five of us hidden away for many years," I paused and took a deep breath, then I continued, "Kestrel thought the SkyWing egg was lost when Blister threw it off of a cliff, bur it turns out that the egg was saved and here is the missing SkyWing right here in front of us." I finished with a motion of my tail at Aggro, who blinked and stared down at her feet. "I'm glad to be out of the dark and crummy cave," Glory muttered quietly, her scales were now a bright pink mixed with sky-blue and gold spiral-like highlights. "Wait, what?" Aggro, Leyla, and Summer all shouted in unison. I nodded sadly and stared down at my feet. "But how did nobody notice that your eggs were missing?" Dak chimed in with a horrified look on his face. "They did notice," I said, lashing my tail and lighting up my glow-in-the-dark scales. "But they couldn't catch the Talons of Peace," I solemnly told them.

"So, have any of you guys met your families yet?" Summer asked me, tilting her head to the side curiously. I nodded my head and motioned with a wing to all of my friends. "Yes, yes we have." I told her after a few moments of silence. "Tsunami's the daughter of Queen Coral," Sunny blurted out. She then realized what she had just said and the small golden dragon proceeded to put her tail over her mouth. "Oppose." She said while giving a sheepish smile and a nervous laugh. "Sorry, Nani." The little SandWing said while looking up at the young SeaWing.

Aggro's P.O.V

There was a reason that I kept this from the others. It was something that I had tried so hard to forget about. But here Tsunami and the others are, reminding me of everything that I had tried so hard to forget. Yes, I am the SkyWing dragonet of destiny, but I'm also a Rescue Rider. What the heck am I supposed to do with my life now? I felt like I would start to cry, I just wanted to shout at these dragons to leave and never return, but deep down in my heart, I knew that there was no escaping the destiny that fate has placed upon me.

I flew away from the others and back to the roost. I landed on the roof and sat there just gazing up at the clouds. I didn't notice that Leyla and Summer were following close behind me. "Aggro? There you are! Is everything alright?" Leyla came up to me. I jumped at the sound of her voice, not expecting anyone to find me here. "Oh! I uh... I just wanted to get a good look at the clouds. If you look up and to the right you can see the Silver Swiftwing." I lied. "Yeah sure. Why are you really up here?" Summer didn't fall for it. I sighed in defeat. "It's because... I feel bad about earlier. I acted like a complete idiot around Tsunami!" I said. "Huh? All she said was you are the missing SkyWing dragonet. We're the Rescue Riders, we never give up on anything. But why are you acting different now?" They looked really confused. "It's because... I'm really scared of having to leave you guys."
