Sunrays and Moonbeams

Destruction

Mother and father were fast asleep as were my little sisters. Beingthe oldest I had a lot of responsibility that I've taken on to helpmy parents out. My younger sisters are all very young since I wasborn only a year after they had moved into their home. They decidedto keep from having any more till I was older and I took on helpinghowever I could, when I had my mate I would know how to take care ofthe little ones to give her a break to rest.

But I knew I needed to give myself time to myself. I was always amorning person awakening as the red sun raised. My mother was theonly other morning person in the family but with the fact my youngestsister was sick she had been up almost all night so was probablygoing to sleep as much as she can.

Coming out and breathing in the fresh air I let my wings stretchout fluttering as the slightly glowing like the moonbeams that shineon me. Stretching them I began beating the wings which I alwaysloved. I wouldn't ever admit it but I loved when my wings beatespecially during a race so it looked like there was a moon shiningbehind me.

Sailing up into the sky I let out a gentle sigh as my wings stretchedand warmed up before I beat harder to get through the atmosphere andI see all the stars and hummed allowing my wings to finally stretchout all the way and I looked to the sky and the shining stars.Looking down at my own exposed torso that is pitch black like the skywith the little pin points of light showing the star sky of where mymate was born under. Sitting on my forehead was the most important itwas the star sign they were born under. It was a (explanation of yourstar sign). It was one they hadn't ever seen before and my parentswere so worried.

I feel guilty when I think that maybe that was why they didn't haveanymore hatchlings until I was older. But it was later where the LoreKeeper told us about a planet we once stayed at when exploring andgot to know the people who worshiped us as demi-gods. I had itimprinted in my mind where the coordinates of the world was and thename of what star my mate would be born under.

Now all that was left was to wait until my littlest sister, who wasstill considered a hatchling, was old enough and I could go there. Icould have left a while ago when I came of age, there was so much myparents have to put up with I can wait a little while, not muchlonger now despite my nervousness of if I know how to take care of mydarling mate like I had. But for now I won't worry about that rightnow, right now I will fly around the familiar skies.

As I was flying allowing every muscle in my body stretch I paused asI saw one of my neighbors who lived in the large spidery long treeswith the pretty purple color. He was six turnings older then I andhad found his mate two turnings ago and had a new hatchling. Theyoung one was not yet even named, he would be getting his name soon,he was found to have his gender ten days ago and was now eighteendays old; he'd be getting his name in two days. Such a big thing.

It made my thoughts go to my own mate. I was explained what she wouldlook like in that the story of the time my people came to the worldshe was from. They had no wings, their bodies had no points of light,their eyes were much duller then ours. They couldn't even go to spacewhich means that I will be stuck on that world. It was a huge thingbut knowing what kind of love was, that she wold be the one meant forme to live and exist it didn't matter if she had no wings, couldn'tgo to space, was so different. I would fly with her and instead ofjust having to look at her I could hold her in my arms as I flew heraround wherever she wished to be, even if she couldn't go to spacewe'd make our life there on that world, wherever she wanted to stay,and my mate was exotic and something new, something that would be sodifferent but the same.
