Dead Moon Academy

Chapter 17

Air fly's past my body as I speed towards the ground. Spinning in a circle a fly drop through the air, getting closer and closer to the ground. Snapping my wings open, feeling my wings strain against the air trying to slow my descent. Looking above me I see that Armon opened his wings much higher in the air than I did. He still wasn't used to flying. Flying here had actually been his first flight, while I have been flying since I was five. Landing hard against the ground I keep myself from falling and wait for Armon to reach the ground. Landing much more lightly than I did, Armon walks over smiling. "That was great! Have you done these type of things before?" he ask with excitement flashing through his eyes. "Yea I did it a lot where I used to live. It's good for hunting, because they don't expect an a attack from above." Turning away the I stretch my wings, extending them to their full length. Light from lanterns along the cavern walls reflect off my scales, making lights along the ground and walls. Looking around the room I decide to watch some of the other groups to see what they are doing. I see some of the boar group wrestling with each other as their teacher watch's them. The cat group was rock climbing on the walls of the cavern. Looking behind me towards the back I see a griffin gracefully flying through the air with his teacher on his back. The griffin could match my own flying I think to myself. Looking around the room I see something strange in the shadows. A large black horse with a deep blood red horn, is galloping around the edges of the cavern barely making a sound. His teacher, using magic hovers above the pegasus, keeping pace with the large creature. Still in awe from seeing such a rare half breed I continued looking around the cavern. Then I see her. Icy blue eyes with black flowing hair, she's running laps around a set course going at amazing speeds. The other wolves are not far behind, yet she stays ahead of them. Wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt, she looks around fifteen or sixteen with a well toned body. Blushing I start to turn away, but then she looks straight at me. Telling the other wolves something that I can't here she begins to walk over. Inside my head I start freaking out. What will I say? What if I say the wrong thing, or say nothing at all and just stand there looking at her? Before I even get the chance to make a plan she's standing in front of me. She slowly looks me up and down, pausing at my wings and face. "Saw you checking me out." she says with a grin at the corners of her mouth. "Just thought I would return the favor. Next time you want to check me out, just walk over instead of standing there staring. My names Solstice by the way, and you are?"
