Wings of Fire Mixed Blood (Book 1)

Chapter 6

Out in the middle of the ocean three dragonets were making their way across the vast seas, hoping and praying to Clearsight that they arrive safely to the home island of their past savior. Tired wingbeats filled the air around them as well as complaints from the only two-winged dragonet in the group. "Are we there yet, I'm tired, I'm hungry, where is the island, are your sure it's real, when can I go to the bathroom!?" the noisy jade colored dragonet groped. A sunburst yellow and black dragon then yelled, "NO WILDFLOWER, WE ARE NOT THERE YET. I AM SORRY THAT I AM YELLING BUT YOUR COMPLAINING IS STRESSING ALL OF US OUT!" the startled dragon then apologized, "Sorry Andrena, but I am a Leafwing, I only have two wings and I can't fly for as long as you and Aurora".

The Hivewing then took several deep breaths in, so as to keep calm and not do something she would regret later. A magenta colored Silkwing then speaks to try and close this awkward situation, "Ok girls, how about we just look for a smaller island to land on? We are all not ourselves after three days of flying, I mean Wildflower you are showing your vulnerable side and Andrena, you are angry." Andrena then adds, "Your right Aurora, lets see if we can find somewhere to rest. besides I wonder if we can see the night rainbows." Wildflower then intrudes, "If you want to see the AURORA, just look at the Silkwing of the same colors." All three dragons laugh after speaking of happy thought.

After about three hours, the group found a small island to rest on. All three of them had just enough space to lie down and dream of what they risked to leave Pantala. Wildflower was a hidden Leafwing, Andrena was a rouge Hivewing, and Aurora was a curious Silkwing. all three of them didn't fit into their roles on their home, so they left to try and find the other island.

Wildflower was the first to awaken from her sleep. When she did, she saw far off on the horizon, a string of islands that swirled into a strange formation. "Girls get up, I found something...come on lazy scales, get off your tails and lets get flying." the headstrong dragon commanded. The four-winged dragonets rose to their impatient friend's voice, struggling to move due to their sore muscles. "We're up, we're up, calm down we need to stre- WAIT...AN ISLAND!?" Andrena questioned with Aurora right beside her. The trio then dashed into the air towards another group of dragons not far from the sandy shores of the growing island.

Andrena then realizes that they are flying to fast and were going to land right on top of them. She was about to yell to alert the other dragons, but it was too late. Aurora landed on a big winged dragon, Andrena landed on a blue dragon with strange claws, and Wildflower landed on a brown one with tough scales. "Oh my goodness, are all of you alright?" a indigo colored one asked with an alarmed voice. The trio of girls then got off of their living crash pads and apologize to the strange dragons. "Oh we are so sorry, you....strange looking...uh. What are you?" Aurora asked with a large amount of curiosity. "I am Mire the Mudwing. This is Robin the Skywing, Tigerfish the Seawing, and their son Geyser." the brown female answered as if they were friends. Aurora then introduced her friends and herself, "Oh, well I am Aurora the Silkwing, this is Andrena the Hivewing, and last but not least, Wildflower the-" Wildflower then interrupted with alarm, "None of your business, Aurora, you can't just trust strangers right off the bat"

Wildflower then jumped in between the two groups and was in a defense stance. Geyser then steppes forward and says, "Trust me, we a not interested in a fight. None of us want to hurt anyone." Andrena then adds, "Excuse her she is a Leafwing with a fighting spirit in her". Wildflower's mouth dropped open at the surprise of her friend revealing what tribe she belonged to.

Out of no where, the dragonets all grasped their ears to a shrieking roar. They felt the pain all the way to their souls and with it fear rising in their hearts. Robin and Tigerfish both just looked around yelling at the young group to try and find out what they were reacting to, because whatever it was they couldn't hear it. As soon as the terrible sound came, it stopped, and the five of them were able to let go of their poor ears. "Oh my, Tigerfish, we need to get them cleaned up!" Robin said as she signaled the dragonets to the water. Mire confusingly looked at herself for any injuries and the only thing she saw was blood on her claws. The cheerful Mudwing became worried and looked at the others, what she saw were ears of blood from the high frequency scream.

After all of them got cleaned up, Robin and Tigerfish headed back towards their kingdom to do research on what could cause this pain. The dragonets all stayed with each other at the camp site to get to know one another. "So what can you three do?" Mire asked the runaway trio. Andrena shared first, "I can shoot poisonous stingers from my wrist." Aurora then continued, "I can sense threats with my antennae, and I have...Firesilk." Wildflower grudgingly finished, "I can...absorb energy from the sun, and...I can control plants". Mire and Geyser looked at each other with amazement of the skills from these other dragons. Mire then started, "Cool, I have built in armor for scales and if I am warm enough, I can breath fire." this got the trio's attention because no dragon on Pantala has a breath weapon. Geyser then shared his skills, "I can swim and fly very fast, I speak Aquatic, and I have Firescales". They spent the rest of the night explaining and showing the extent of their abilities, in case they needed to use them to protect each other in worst case events.
