Hurricane ran through the hallways, making sure not to crash into any of her fellow students. Her blue glowing stripes flashed excitedly as she peaked into some of the rooms with her emerald eyes, each room already filling up with dragonets.
No, no, no! No spoilers!!!, she thought, quickly turning her head to look strait in front of her. I don't want any spoilers!!! I need everything to be exciting, and new, and AWSOME!!!
The Seawing dragonet was so excited, she felt like if she tried flying through these hallways right now, she would smash right through the ceiling, and out into the open air above.
Three moons that would look weird!!! I wonder if I would come out in between the two peeks. I've heard that at the right angle, Jade Mountain looks like a snake about to strike. Oh, that means it would look like the mountain would be vomiting me out!!! GROSS!!!
She finally stopped, still lightly tapping every claw on the floor in excitement, in front of a female Nightwing, he was passing out scrolls at an entrance cave.
"Oh hello, are you Fatespeaker?", she asked, grinning.
"Yep, that's me. But remember, mind reading is my job," she said sarcastically, grinning back. "Okay let's see. We've already had most of the Seawings come in.... So that leaves.......... Mallard, and Hurricane." She paused. "Hmmm.... You don't seem like a Mallard... So, Hurricane?"
"Yes!", Hurricane said, laughing a little. "I do know Mallard though. If you see him, could you tell him Hurricane said hi?"
Fatespeaker nodded. "Sure thing. Here's your scroll, and you'll find your room down in the left hallway, in the seventh cave to the left."
"Thanks!", she said, almost skipping down the hallways.
This is so cool!!!, she thought, looking at all of the colorful lamps on the ceiling, the vibrant flowers on the walls, and at all of the many, many dragons in the hallways. She had never seen so many colors before in her life, ever! There were so many Mudwings, Sandwings, Skywings, Seawings, Rainwings, Icewings, Nightwings, and even a few hybrids here and there. And Hurricane would get to be friends with all of them!!!
She knew that if she was a Rainwing instead of a Seawing, she would be vibrant shades of yellow and pink, and right now, nothing would change that. Nothing!
Running down the hall, she skidded to a halt at the room she was assigned to, and her grin grew even bigger, if that was even possible.
Some of my future friends are in there! And in the other room are some of the others!! And in the rooms next to those are more!!! And next to those!!!! And those!!!!! And AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She was so occupied with thinking, that she didn't notice a dragonet with ebony black scales sneak up on her, until she lightly tapped her shoulder.
Hurricane turned around, and looked down at a dragon a little smaller than even she was. "Uh, hi! My name is Hurricane. Are you one of the dragons in my Winglet?!?!"
The Nightwing dragonet grinded her teeth a little. "Uh-uh, um, y-y-ye-yes. C-c-could you please th-think, a l-little quieter?"
Noticing the dragonets silver tear drop scales, Hurricane gasped, and suddenly tried to keep her mind as blank as she could, but of course failed miserably.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't realize that you were a mind reader!!! Wait.... CAN YOU SEE THE FUTUR-!!!!!!!!!!"
The dragonet rapped her claws around Hurricane's snout, until her mumbling stopped. Finally, she let go when her apparent headache stopped. "Sorry, I just needed to wait till your brain quieted down. Yes, I am in your winglet," she said quietly. "My name is Midnight. I can't see the future, but I can read minds extremely well." She scrunched her face a little as a pair of dragons walked by, yelling and laughing loudly.
Aw, now I feel bad! I bet she gets a lot of migraines, and I've heard those are super painful, and-
"It's okay, it's okay," Midnight said, trying to get Hurricane's attention. "It hurts more when you're upset or way, way, way to excited. And don't worry, my sister Moonrise is helping me to control it. She's a really good teacher!", she said enthusiastically, with a squeak, which sounded like the closest to a yell as she could get.
"Oh cool!", Hurricane said, making sure she wasn't "too enthusiastic". "So, how old are you? I'm nine!"
"Six," the dragonet said. "Hey, want to check out the room? I've heard it already comes with some scrolls that we can read! I really, really, really want to see if they have the next scroll in a series I'm reading!"
"You go ahead," Hurricane said, waving as she stepped forward. "I'm not a big reader. I'll be in the music room if you want to talk!"
"Bye!", the dragonet said, giving a little wave.
The Nightwing scrunched her face again when Hurricane yelled, "BYYYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Midnight's cool, Hurricane thought, making sure she went the right way, still holding the welcome scroll in her claws. I wonder if she could do my math and reading homework.
She was so distracted, once again, that she crashed right into another dragon.
