AND I DO NOT OWN WINGS OF FIRE

(Y/n) pov

Anger was an understatement as I sat in the garden holding the shattered mirror in my claws. After Winter left they had gone back in the hut to ask Meerkat when they would move Kinkajou to the clinic, but I stayed back, upset. Some steps away laid my now ripped pouch, the scroll I had enchanted to communicate with Ostrich peaked out, along with a few less important trinkets. I snarled at the memory of Winter trying to steal my mirror, I wanted to just get over it but I just couldn't, something angry burned deep in my blood.

¨You upset over glass?¨

I flicked my ears back at the sudden intrusion of Rime in my mind. I dragged my pouch closer to me now, picking up the shards of glass in my talons, holding them there and watching my reflections that multiplied with each shard.

¨Not now.¨ I answered in my mind, I didn't want to deal with what he had to say right now.

¨My poor little guppy.¨ He spoke, his voice similar to how a parent would speak to their dragonet after something disappointing has happened. ¨You worked so hard on your enchantment, all for it to get destroyed.¨

¨It was mine, he tried taking it.¨ I replied, adding with a more sadder tone, ¨he said it belong to the tribe.¨

A small chuckle vibrated in my skull, at first I thought he would make fun of my childish antics, but he didn't. ¨Of course it was. It was yours and no one else's, he had no right to touch it.¨

I hung my head, snarling slightly, I wanted to hunt the prince down, hurt him and force him to tell me why he did it, why he was so selfish. When I didn't directly reply to Rime he talked on his own, offering me some comfort in his own weird way.

¨These dragons can't offer you the same support I can, little guppy. Ordinary dragons do not understand us, when you give, they take. They will always take. And when you can no longer provide, they'll stab you in the back.¨

I thought about his words, longer than I wanted to. Ancient stories of Queens using dragons who had more powers than others always ended in tragedy, could I become one of those stories if Winter told Queen Glacier of my abilities? A horrible chill ran down my spine, a feeling that someone was watching me took over instinctively, I looked down at my pouch on the floor. The small black skyfire twinkled at me teasingly as realization crossed over me, my claws shooting for it immediately. Moon had been in my mind. My mind didn't let me panic whether or not she heard my odd conversation with Rime, or if she had seen my violent ideas when it came to Winter.

Qibli stepped out of the hut, a concerned look on his face was quickly masked with his usual cheerful one as his amber eyes met my (e/c) one. I wondered why he came out to check on me, and if he did was it because Moon asked him to, or because he cared.

¨Hey (Y/n),¨ he said softly, walking towards me with the same hesitance in his voice, almost as if I'd shatter if he approached me too strongly. ¨How are you feeling?¨

I looked to him, then back at the shattered glass, mini reflections of my horribly scarred face taunted me. ¨Im fine.¨

¨Liar.¨ he said simply, sitting next to me, close enough that I could feel his heat. We were sitting in silence for a few moments. ¨I know I haven't known Winter for as long as you have, but I do know that he is as stubborn as a camel, and I know he cares for you. Of course, that doesn't excuse his actions.¨

¨He mocks you.¨ Rime said, making my shoulders tense a bit, ¨he doesn't understand what your mirror meant.¨

I shook my head, feeling stressed and emotionally overwhelmed, putting my talons to my head and fighting back tears from welling in my eyes. 'Be brave, be strong, don't be a coward.' I repeated to myself in my mind, hoping to drown down these unnatural emotions.
