Wings of fire: What if

Darkstalker and Clearsight had an egg, but it hatched 2000 years later (Part 2)

Hey guys! This is part two!!

It had been almost a month since all of the jade winglet but one had left. Sunny and Tsunami were very frustrated. The only member of the Jade winglet still at the academy was Turtle, and he had left for a little bit too. Eclipse was going over this in her cave when the gong sounded for lunch. She decided to visit the library, to see if she could find any books on Nightwing History, to find out if Nightwing eggs in the middle of the desert had happened before.

Eclipse was reading a scroll, when a tap sounded on the desk at the front of the library. "Hey Starflight, don't explode with joy or anything, but I have a historical question for you." A familiar voice asked. She looked up and saw Tsunami and a green sewing standing at Starflight's desk. "Really? Which era!?" Starflight asked, poking his head up. "I have no idea. Is there an era of Sinister bad guys? What do you know about a dragon called Darkstalker?" Tsunami asked. Eclipse furrowed her brow. "He was a very powerful animus Nightwing who disappeared over 2000 years ago.The stories say he was betrayed by his friend, a Seawing animus named Fathom, and perhaps also by his girlfriend Clearsight. Some say he had an egg, but there was no trace of one, so it was just a rumour." Clearsight. That's the other name from my memory. Were they my parents? No they cant be. They lived 2000 years ago. Unless... Darkstalker was supposedly an animus, so maybe... he enchanted my egg. Eclipse realised, with a thudding finality. She was so lost in her thoughts that she had stopped paying attention to the world around her, and looked up right as a massive head poked through the window. He was a dark blue, almost black dragon, with twisted black horns, and silver tear drop scales beside his eyes. "That story has been highly oversimplified. I mean, do any of the stories say that he totally deserved it?" The massive dragon asked, grinning, as an Icewing screamed and ran away.

"What's happening? Who is that?!" Starflight cried, grabbing Fatespeaker for support. "I- I don't know! Wait, let me have a vision. I see... darkness ahead!" Fate speaker cried, closing her eyes. "That's because your eyes are closed, you ninny." The dragon said pleasantly. "Don't hurt my students!" A ferocious voice growled. Eclipse swivelled her head and spotted Tsunami and Sunny breathless at the entrance of the library. "Why would I hurt any of your students? There is literally zero motivation for me to do that. Dragons today, so full of mistrust and hostility. Now, in my time- No, wait, we were exactly the same. That's one of the many problems I was going to fix. But, more importantly, I want to meet my-" The dragon- Darkstalker? cut off his sentence and pulled his head out of the window and frowned as if an annoying gnat was buzzing in his ear. Eclipse flew up towards the window to see what was happening, and stopped in surprise as she saw an Icewing dart around his face and rake her claws along his face, right near the teardrop scales. She gasped, expecting a massive scratch to open up and start bleeding, but the Icewing flew back, shaking her claw as if it had been a rock she scratched. What was that? That should have injured him, even if just a little. Is that a spell? Eclipse stopped paying attention as she pondered what had just happened. Next thing she knew, Darkstalker was smiling, and the attacking dragons were gone. He smiled, the teardrop scales by his eyes crinkling, and folded his wings to his side.

"Now then, as i was saying, I am here to meet my great-great-great-great-great-great-i don't know how many greats-great granduaghter, Sunny! I wasn't sure at first, but your father is an animus, which means he was a descendant of Whiteout. I wonder if she ended up with that nice nightwing, Thoughtful. " He finished, smiling as Sunny stopped in her tracks, curling her tail around one of her talons as a confused but happy expression overtook her snout. She smiled, then continued down the hall. "Oh, and most importantly, I wanted to meet my daughter, Eclipse."

"Wait, what?!" Eclipse cried, snapping her head back around to stare at Darkstalker. "But you're from 2000 years ago!!" Darkstalker smiled gently. "Your egg was cursed to stay asleep without ageing, keeping your body frozen in time unless I ever woke up." He answered calmly, Watching for her reactions. His wings twitched at his side, and he continued. "I know you have an adoptive father, but I would really like to get to know you." Eclipse hesitated. "Um, I think I need a bit of time. If I want to get to know you, then... Let's meet at the base of Jade mountain tomorrow. I need to talk to my Dad- adoptive dad," she amended. He smiled, and she took that as a sign that she could go. So, she lifted her wings, and flew out the window to go visit Cactus.
