Orb's Art Scroll (2nd book)

QueenGlory2016 2nd part contest

I was stepping in the thick, wet, leaf, grass moss, mixed mud in the swamp. I could feel wet leaves from willow trees, brush against my scales as I walked. I had no single clue why I was here. I only knew that I was absolutely, no doubt, completely,

L-O-S-T.

I could only barely see my talons in the thick, heavy, fog. And to just make it worse, it was night. My night vision wasn't helping me at all.

"Why don't you just fly up and find your way away from this swamp?" You may ask. Well, my wings are kinda all jacked up and torn from an...... Incident. *Long story* Anyway, I had absolutely no way where I was going, and the swamp never showed any signs of ending. So, I kept going forward, and I listened to the crickets and other insects sing as I walked.

I looked up at the sky, and I could just barely make out 2 shiny blurs, obviously the two moons in the night sky. All I had was just me myself and I walking, alone, in a damp, foggy, muddy, Swamp. So I started to think to myself. I was alone (Covered that), I was wounded, (Covered that too), and I was lost. (Covered that also).

I wonder how Plasma is running the kingdom without me. He's probably got it covered, being the general and all. He's just probably ordering everyone about, being his bossy self.

I wonder how Garnet is doing. Oh my dear, dear garnet. She must be worried sick about me. Agh I miss her too, I miss her so so much. I wish I were there, with her, alone. I need to get to her fast. I need to know if she's ok and safe from harm.

Whaaaaattttt. Where did that come from. Of COURSE she's safe. she's in the most secure, guarded, place in Pyrrhia!!!! What am I to worry about her.... She's tough. She can handle herself. And plus she has Plasma to keep her up and going.

Thinking of Garnet, made me think about our egg. It should be hatching very soon. Soon as in about 1 or 2 weeks the royal healers say. I've got to get to the Kingdom before The egg hatches. We haven't even NAMED the egg yet. But so far Garnet and I have made up, Orb, Strike, And Energy. I'm kinda leaning towards Orb. But whatever Garnet wants is all I will ever need.

But how am I going to get back without my wings? SWIM all the way there? Well, actually that wouldn't be half bad. I am half Seawing. I need to find the ocean. Butttttttt, but but but. I need to find where I am for firsts. I wonder if there are any dragons that live around this hunk a junk Swamp. Highly doubt it though. Why would anyone want to live HERE instead with people to socialize with. How do you find any food or place to find shelter around here?

As all of these thoughts swirled around in my head, I wasn't paying any close attention to anything that was going around me. And I ran straight into a tree. Leaves and sticks fell on me as I rubbed my head, a small goose egg swelling up. "Where did that come from?" I said out loud quietly.

"It came from in front of you. You IDIOT!" A voice responded.

"What the..." I said. It sounded like it came from all over and around me. Psychotic giggles echoed as I swerved my head to place to place in the fog, trying to locate the owner of the voice.

"Oh dear darling. What's wrong?" the voice asked, " You seem a little startled. you look awfully hungry, here. Come. Join me for dinner."

I gasped. I was suddenly in the Lightwing castle's dining pavilion. Dragons hustling and bustling around minding their own business. I looked at myself. I was completely unscratched. No wounds on me to be seen. And my wings were completely ok. No rips or tears, no blood. No nothing. Just perfect. Just my normal self.

I was sitting in a large chair, glittered and bedazzled in jewels and gems. I looked at the table in front of me. It was overflowed with food.

Fish, octopus, sushi wrapped in hot seaweed, fish kabobs, tuna on silver platters, roasted pigs with apples in their mouths, cow meat, fruits, vegetables. And in great huge goblets and chalices, juice and wine and water. My mouth watered with crave.
