Winter was dragged in. Literally. Some shadow creature was dragging him across the stone ground of the old volcano, unconscious and clearly beaten. His usual tall and strong body was now withered and dim, making his appearance look awful.
Darkstalker had made his lair on the volcano the Nightwings used to live on. It was large and grand, the stone smooth from centuries of dragons living there. However with the years of the stone structures being unused and not well kept, it took a little time for Darkstalker's shadows to restore its beauty.
Moon struggled heavily with the body she no longer controlled. No matter how hard she tried, she could not undo whatever Darkstalker had done to her. Her powers were of no use, her mouth did not open unless it was to answer Darkstalker, usually with 'yes'.
Her boredom vanished as she came upon a cave filled to the brim with scrolls. Darkstalker had told her to look around for a bit until he got back from his duties. Gladly, Moon used this opportunity to try and look around. One scroll seemed to catch her body's attention, causing her body moved to it as Moon looked through the eyes of her body. It was a scroll about Nightwing dragonets born under certain moons. She willed her body to unfold it completely, revealing numbers of scroll within the library.
One Moon...................4
Two Moons.................22
Three Moons..............46
Blood Moon(s)............78
Blue Moon(s)...............108
Each number was a numbered scroll in the large cave. Moon came across number 22, the one that would explain her powers exactly. She moved from the stone table and towards the stacks, finding the scroll and returning to the stone table.
Two Moon Dragonets
These dragonets are much more powerful than those born under any other moon. Gifted with the powers to see the future and read minds these dragonets are also able to change form. Three mon children do not possess such power due to their strengths lie in the future and the minds of others. Most two moons do not know how they can use these newfound powers, but it has come to attention that only those who are named for the moon are gifted with these extremities.
Examples:
Moonsearcher
Moonchaser
Mooncaller
Moonwatcher
Moonreader
If one chooses to change, it is instructed that they must think of the object they wish to be. Focusing their powers and channeling their energy it is possible to be able to change. If dragonet has tear drop scales by their eyes he or she can enter the world of the dead, often used to call upon those who are dead. Only to be seen by those he or she chooses they can travel around leaving their body and mind in the place it rests.Everything after that didn't make sense. Moon knew how to reach her friends, but she knew it would take some serious practice on her part. Doing what the scroll had said Moon concentrated, drawing all of her energy she had, she felt herself changing, becoming lighter by the second. She closed her eyes tight and with one last push of energy she felt herself floating.
Opening her eyes slowly she gasped. She saw her body reading the scroll, but she wasn't in it. She looked down to see nothing. Only a hazy blue outline of her former body.
Darkstalker strode into the room, causing Moon to freeze in her tracks, but he didn't even see her. "Moon! Let's go. We need to visit a friend." He ordered.
Her body moved robotically out of the cave with him, the real Moon floated out after them.
Moon stayed in the shadows, watching and listening Darkstalker and Winter speak. Winter had no way out and he was badly hurt, his blood seeping out onto the rock below.
She waited until Darkstalker and her body left before showing herself. She thought of Winter seeing her, her presence and knowing her. and then strode into the cave.
His head had looked up as he saw her float in, fear but overall curiosity shown on his face.
But Moon knew, that he saw her.
