Cursed ~ A Wings of Fire Short Story (With Bonus Chapters)

Bonus Chapter #1 : Clawmates and Crushes

(A/N: There's probably going to be a few bonus chapters coming up. They won't be in first person, though. Also, only Alaska, Koi, and Seafoam belong to me. Stargazer, Kaioa, Wavepool, and Allure belong to StarvioletFury. Heliamphora belongs to TheOneTrueCheese. )

"Your room is right here, Alaska," Stargazer said as he and Alaska entered a cave. There was a little pond with a mossy rock in the middle. Alaska guessed that was her bed. There was also a ledge with some moss on it. 

That must be for my clawmate, Alaska thought. She'd really, really wanted it to be Kaioa, but sadly she was in a different Winglet. "Uh, who are they?" Alaska asked Stargazer, forgetting he couldn't read her mind or something.

"Hmm?" questioned Stargazer.

"Who is my clawmate?" 

"Oh!" replied Stargazer. "Let's see. Ah, yes! Your clawmate is named Seafoam. She's a SeaWing, so maybe you've met her." 

"Uh, I don't think I have." Alaska wasn't sure if the SeaWing would like her.

"Well, I sure hope you like her once you meet her!" Stargazer said. "Oh, and by the way, I got you some scrolls for some light reading. They're ones my grandfather wrote about his adventures as a Dragonet of Destiny. And, since your grandmother is in them I figured you'd like them."

"Thank you so much!" Alaska felt happy to know the descendant of her grandmother's best friends.

Stargazer grinned an enormous smile. "No problem! I'm going to go greet the other students, now! See you later, Alaska!" 

As, Stargazer left, Alaska plopped onto her bed. She was beyond tired, having to be around a LOT of dragons. She was just about to drift off to sleep, when she heard Stargazer's voice out in the hall. 

"Hello there! Welcome to Jade Mountain Academy!" 

"Why, hello," replied a feminine voice. There was a short pause until the same voice hissed, "Seafoam, say hello!" 

"Hi," said a voice, who was clearly unhappy to be here. 

Alaska listened as they talked until someone knocked on her cave. "Who is it?" she called. 

THE LITERAL MOST ANNOYING SEAWING EVER WALKED IN THE DOOR. "Hello, Princess!" Koi greeted her with a bow. 

Alaska rolled her eyes. Koi had had a crush on her ever since they were dragonets. Alaska still cringed at the day they first met. 

"Alaska, guess what?" Alaska's nursemaid, Arame, had asked the one year old dragonet.

"What?" Alaska asked her. 

"Princess Wavepool has adopted a dragonet! His name is Koi! Won't it be fun to have a new friend?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Come on," beckoned Arame, "Let's go meet him."

Alaska followed her nursemaid through the palace to Wavepool's room. Inside was a dragonet with orange, white, and yellow scales. 

"Koi," Arame said, "This is Alaska." 

Koi's face lit up. "Are you an angel?" he asked. "Or just the most beautiful dragon alive?"

Alaska internally gagged. Who the heck said that when they met a new dragon? 

It got even worse after that. Koi started following Alaska everywhere. 

"I'll protect you, Princess!"

"My heart belongs to you, Princess!

"I love you more than anything, Prin— oh, hi Princess Atlantic, what are you doing—AHHH A SPEAR IS CHASING MEEEEE!!!"
