Painted Skies

Chapter 1

Hello everyone! Bluepaw is me and Bluepaw is now posting the first bit of this story! This is just the first chapter, told from Hyena's perspective. Anyways, with all that out of the way, I hope you enjoy reading this first chapter. Now, without further ado, let's take flight.

I was up early as usual, I was flying though the air, letting my wings and scales soak in the morning sun.

I was just landing to take a short brake when my younger sister called out to me. "Hay, Hyena. Mother needs us for something, c'mon!" Onyx called, I then followed my sister to our den. Once we entered, we saw our mother, Silver, siting on a cushion with a scroll spread out on top of the small wooden table.

Silver looked up when her two other children entered the den. She smiled warmly at us. "Hello, mother, I was just out for an early morning flight." I said, smiling at my mother.

"Well, now that the three of you are here, I can tell you the great news." Our mother said happily with a bright smile. I blinked in surprise. "Jade Mountain? But why can't we get our schooling here with the other SandWings?" I asked, frowning slightly and tilting my head to the side in confusion. "Well Hyena, you've been invited and It'd be rude to not take this chance, so please just do this for me? If you do, I'll get you that painting you've been begging for." My eyes widened and I looked up at mother with a shocked look on my face. "You will?" I asked her, still shocked. She nodded and I tried not to squeal as I hugged her tightly.

"We should probably get going, we need to go and meet up with the other SandWings." Silver called out from the doorway that led outside. I nodded and me, along with Onyx and Lioness took off into the blazing heat of the afternoon sky.

When we all landed on the sand. Queen Thorn was already there waiting for us. After everyone had quieted down, the Queen began speaking. "You all have been summoned here because there's something important that I need to tell all of you," Queen Thorn said with a warm smile. "You have all been accepted to join the Jade Mountain Academy. I am proud of each and everyone of you and I hope that you will all do your best and make me proud." The Queen said, smiling warmly each and every one of us as we prepared to spread our wings and take to the sky.

"Now, I wish you all a safe flight and I really hope that you will all enjoy the four months at the academy." With that send of speech, all of us in the group began to take off into the afternoon sky.

It took a while to get to the Jade Mountain Academy. We were flying for what felt like hours. But eventually we arrived and I could see the large mountain in the distance. I smiled widely, my stomach was nervous with butterflies.
