Wings of fire: Destiny not Fate

11- a hero?

Destiny quickly slithered toward the 'True' nightwings secret base, it was quite hidden among the mountains and islands. Destiny made sure her scales stayed in a nightwing form and remembered her name for the Nightwing she was pretending to e, and she kept repeating the name in her head, Fallenstar, my name is fallenstar, I'm a nightwing who got lost in the sea during the escape and have been traveling around.

Destiny suddenly heard a rustling she tensed up, then saw a few nightwings come out, one of them looked at her as she stood there tensely and said with suspicion, "Who are you?" Destiny quickly said, "I am Fallenstar of the nightwings, loyal to Queen Battlewinner." The nightwings smiled at this, one of them a young dragonet ran up to her and said, "Horay! New friend!"

Destiny then heard the larger male dragon laugh and say, "Don't mind her, she always gets excited to meet new dragons as Queen Blackstar allows extra food for finding new recruits and you seem perfect, come on." Destiny nodded and followed them.

On the way to the secret base they told her their names, the female dragonet was Smallwing, her sibling, a male dragonet was Whisper, their father was Truthteller and their mother was Brokenwing. Destiny couldn't help but notice how thin and damaged they all looked, Truthteller had scars all across his snout but he wore a smile, while Whisper and Brokenwing had no happiness in their eyes and Whisper had a scar along his throat and Brokenwing was missing an entire wing, Smallwing seemed lucky to not be scarred at all.

As they kept walking Destiny saw other nightwings, most had at least one scar, "Hey, why do so many dragons here have scars?" Destiny asked, Truthteller then said, "Oh, a lot of Dragons upset Queen Blackstar and she likes to take punishment really seriously." Destiny saw Truthteller's eyes twitch slightly.

As they continued walking, Whisper got close to her and began talking in a way she could barely hear, his voice was raspy as he slowly whispered, "She... Is... Not... Good... You.... Should... Leave..." Destiny felt slightly worried but wasn't about to give up on her mission.

As Destiny followed them into the base she was amazed at how complex it was she was soon lead to a room labeled 'Dragonet sleeping quarters' she was given a bed and told when food was served.

(hours later)

Destiny was up late at night when she was grabbed by the horns and pulled out a bag put over her head as she was dragged off. Suddenly the bag was taken off her head and she saw, Whisper and a ton of other scarred dragons, including Brokenwing. One of the night wings stepped foward, a young dragonet wearing a tiara with a large scar over her eyes and mouth, "Hello Fallenstar, I am princess Truthholder of the Nightwings, you were brought her because we feel you could help us with our, or well Whisper said he felt you were special in some way." Destiny was confused as to what was happening but quickly prepared herself for whatever was about to happen.
