Wings of Fire Mixed Blood (Book 1)

Chapter 1

Now that the war is over, dragons that are part of the Talons of Peace have come out of hiding. The Dragons have opened Jade Mountain Academy, only to have several hurt after the rise and disappearance of Darkstalker. I don't know weither or not I should ask my parents if I could attend the school now that they have begun a new year. But I am afraid they would say "No" on account that I am what they call,"Firescales" I have never seen any other dragon like me and I am afraid that with my lack of social skills, I could seriously hurt some one.

My mother has made the decision to come out of hiding since there is no need for the Talons of Power anymore. I think they are quite happy as well because it is hard to hide a dragon that can set fire to practically anything. After I finished gathering the few things I have (with the help of other dragons), we make our way to the mountains next to the Diamond Spray River so that I can move around and not catch anything on fire.

"Geyser, now that we are out of hiding, I think it best you no the truth." my mother says as we are flying in the sky. "You are a big dragonet now and I think you have the right to know." she continues with contradiction in that sentence. As we land at the opening of the empty cave, she holds her claws towards her mouth and quickly says, "You are not o-.....". I couldn't here what she said at first, but then she repeated, "You are not our dragonet".

We stand in silence as I process what she just said. As I think more and more about her sentence, I begin to think of how that made some sense because both my parents were Sandwings and I was a Seawing. I then spoke, "If I am not yours, then whose am I?" I ask with a little anger in my voice. "Geyser, me and your fath-, Monitor don't know. We woke up one morning with an egg in front of us that had your name in a scroll on top." Monitor then stepped in, "Dunes is right, we scanned the perimeter and found no signs of anyone even near the camp". I sat down to the thought that I was abandoned by my real parents, and what sane dragon wouldn't. When I was about to go deep into my thoughts as to why I was given up, mother had even more news to give. "As I am sure you are already aware, you are not only a different dragon from us, you are two". I ponder at what she is saying and almost completely deny it. "From our best guess, you are half Seawing-Skywing." Monitor added.

I look down at my talons as if I was a completely different dragon that I had never seen before. I then question, "How can you tell what I am?" they answered, "You have the basic body and head shape of a Seawing, but you have the wings of a Skywing and your neck is longer than the average Seawing". I run to the water's edge to see my greyish-purple self to observe what Dunes and Monitor had explained. I saw the differences that they pointed out and I felt like a fool for never seeing it. I then took off from were I was standing and flew to the most isolated place I could find that would catch fire. Once I found one I sat alone, staring at myself and wondering why I was the way I was. I then thought about how times were during the war and how a reputation with a hybrid dragonet could get some dragons killed. Hope began to rise at the thought of my real parents giving me up to protect me. "I will find my parents. Even if it takes me beyond Pyrrhia, I will find them".
