All of the dragonets were dismissed from any classes they had that day. Cobra returned to his dorm and sighed. Worried, he circled the dorm frantically, while his mind buzzed with questions about the SeaWings' betrayal. Oyster poked her head inside. "What is up with you? You've been nervous ever since Day 1," she said, and walked inside.

Cobra shrugged and sat down on the cold stone floor. "I know...I just found out that the SeaWings have allied with the SkyWings. They put this kind of chemical in the bomb that comes from fish," He said.

Oyster's eyes widened and she hissed in anger. "WHAT?! Queen Anemone would NEVER do such a hideous thing! Who even came UP with that idea?!" She shouted as her tail lashed back and forth in fury.

Cobra backed away. "I-I don't know, Daisy said it," he stammered. "That boring RainWing? What a lame excuse for hate towards SeaWings," Oyster spat. "I'm sure she didn't mean it, it was probably just a theory," Cobra pointed out. Oyster snorted. "Yeah, right. Dragons nowadays would do anything to prove themselves right. And you know what? In THIS CASE, they aren't," she said, and stormed out of the dorm. Cobra shuffled his claws. You have your mother's personality, he thought.

He sat there, deep in thought. We should worry about this later...Besides, I wouldn't want my mind off of class, anyway. I should be studying for History. Yeah. So grumpy Webs doesn't yell at me again, Cobra thought. He then rummaged through the cabinet of scrolls and pulled one out. 'History of NightWings'. Seems useful, he thought, and unravelled the scroll. It was quite long, the rest of it hung across the floor. Cobra skimmed the text. This mainly says how NightWings have currently two living dragons with actual mind-reading. Anything else? He read further to a point where something completely different came up.

There was an exceedingly short text about a male NightWing with SandWing wings and barbed tail. Huh, Cobra thought, I know that Sunny is a SandWing/NightWing hybrid...I didn't know that there was also another one.
Cobra read further and found out that this dragon was able to breath blue fire, read minds, and fly faster than any SkyWing.

Cobra thought it was some NightWing propaganda again, so he quickly dismissed it and put the scroll away.

He didn't understand why NightWings still go on about how their race is more powerful and advanced than the others. It's really offensive to the other tribes. At least Fortuneteller doesn't brag about it, he thought.

Skyroamer announced that there will be a quick dinner and then all dragonets should go to sleep. So, Cobra and the others once again poured down the hallways to the Prey Center.

Cobra looked down at his talons as he sat down. What is Scarlet even after... He thought curiously. As he picked around the golden sand in the center, he saw a roasted rabbit drop in front of him. "If you're hungry," He heard a voice. He looked up and saw nobody in front of him. He looked around, but he saw nobody that seemed like they would do that. He sighed.

Cobra slit open the rabbit with one talon. He had the strongest urge to play some music to calm him down. But the Music Room was closed for day.

Taking a bite of the rabbit, he felt a sharp pain in his back. He immediately stopped what he was doing and his eyes widened. Cobra felt a warm liquid trickle down his back, the pain still there.

Blood, Cobra thought. He looked around once more, before a started to lose consciousness...And fell to the sandy floor.

Thump.
