Peril and Clay were going to drop off their son at Jade Mountain. As they flew, Peril told Copper all about Jade Mountain. She told him about the SeaWing's underwater hideout and about her sleeping cave, she even told him about all the friends that he'll make. When they arrived, Copper stared at the entrance. Peril walked up to Copper and put her wing around him, "Your Dad and I will just be in the head offices if you really need us," Peril reassured. Copper looked up and smiled at his mother. 

"Thanks Mom,"  Copper sighed. He turned his direction back at the school. "Will dragons like me?" Copper finally asked. Clay and Peril both shared a worried look, but Clay walked up to him and wrapped his wings around Copper's other side. 

"I don't know," Clay said honestly. "But it's worth the risk, look Copper, dragons didn't like your Mom when she was at this school," Clay told him. "Dragons might say your not a pure-blood, but Copper, just know that at least someone would want to be your friend." Copper looked at his parents and hugged them. They hugged him back and didn't want to let go. 

"I'll miss you Copper," Peril told Copper. He smiled then looked to his left. Peril did the same and her face lit up. It was Turtle and Kinkajou with three little dragonets, one was about to go into the school. She looked like a SeaWing but you could see the little specks of rainbow along her spine and face. She had green eyes like her father and cheerful enthusiasm like her mother. There were two boys and they looked more like RainWings but had webbed feet and had the illuminating scales. Turtle hugged his daughter then looked to his right and his face lit up. Peril walked over to Turtle and hugged him. 

"Long time no see," Turtle joked. Peril laughed along, "This is Lily, that's Toad, and that's Tide," He pointed at all his dragonets. 

"Hi," Peril greeted. "Hey Kinkajou," Peril smiled. 

"Oh, I wish I could hug you!" Kinkajou complained. 

"So does any of your dragonets have animus magic?" Peril asked Turtle. He nodded and pointed at Lily. Peril smiled and called Copper over. "This is Copper." 

"Hi," Copper said shyly. 

"Hi," Lily blushed. Then Peril heard a familiar sassy voice and turned toward the direction, it was Queen Glory and Deathbringer, they had a little girl around Copper's age, a little younger. She looked like a NightWing but had rainbow specks along her wings and spine. She had a teardrop scale at her eyes. Turtle and Peril both shared a memory filled look. Clay walked over to Glory and Deathbringer. 

"Hi guys! I like to introduce you to Copper," He showed Copper to Deathbringer and Glory. They said hi and they introduced their dragonet to them. 

"This is Firefly," Glory smiled. 

"Hi, I'm Firefly," the hybrid greeted. "And your name is?" 

"C-Copper," Copper smiled. He was mesmerised by Firefly's beauty. Peril nearly laughed at how her son just stuttered when he saw her. 

"Copper, we'll see you inside," Peril promised. Copper hugged her one last time and then left with Firefly at his heels. Peril left Clay to talk to Glory and Deathbringer, she walked to a specific NightWing and SandWing. They were saying goodbye to their son, he looked more SandWing, he had no barbed tail or have pale yellow scales. But he did have teardrops at his eyes. 

"Moon! Qibli!" Peril called. The SandWing and NightWing turned toward her and smiled. 

"Peril!" They called. Peril got closer to them and smiled. 

"I see you have a dragonet and you two go together, see I told you sand-snorter," Peril winked. Qibli and Moon blushed at her comment. 

"And I told you that you and Clay would be a thing," Qibli chuckled. 

"Yeah, yeah," Peril laughed. "I'm looking for all of the Jade Winglet have you seen-" 

"Winter?" Moon asked. "He's over there," she pointed to the other side of the entrance. "This is Abalos," the SandWing-NightWing hybrid walked to Peril. 

"Why can't I read your mind? I see flames," said Abalos. 

"I don't know," Peril said when Moon shushed Abalos. Then she said goodbye to Moon and Qibli and walked to Winter. He was standing next to an IceWing and there was a little IceWing in front of them. "Hi," Peril said. 

"Hi," Winter smiled. "This is Frost." The IceWing in front of Winter walked up to Peril. 

"Hi, I'm Prince Frost of the IceWings," Frost said proudly. Then Peril said goodbye when she heard her name. She walked to Clay and saw that there were two dragonets in front of him. One had teardrop scale near his eyes. He looked completely NightWing. 

"Peril, this is Starguider," Clay pointed to the the NightWing. "He's Starflight's and Fatespeaker's Dragonet." Clay looked to the SeaWing that was dark blue. "She's Isla," Clay informed. "Riptide's and Tsunami's dragonet. 

"Nice to meet you," Peril told them. They greeted Peril then went inside the school. Peril faced the school and sighed. She felt someone brush her wing with theirs and she looked to the left. Turtle was staring at the school too. Kinkajou was on Turtle's other side and Moon was on Peril's other side with Qibli on Moon's other side. Winter was next to Qibli and Moon. They stared at their old school in awe. 

"It really has grown," Moon whispered. 

"Yeah," Turtle smiled. "Remember all the adventures?" 

"All the prophecies?" Moon chuckled. 

"All the powers?" Kinkajou giggled. 

"All the fights," Winter smiled. 

"All the friends," Qibli mentioned smiling. 

"All the love," Peril beamed. 

"I miss this place," Moon sighed. Qibli wrapped his wing around Moon and pulled her into a warm hug. 

"Me too," Peril sighed. 

"But you practically live here," Turtle laughed. 

"I don't live here Clay just works here," Peril laughed too. They laughed together like they did when they were dragonets. "I wish I was a dragonet again." 

"A lot of us do," Turtle reassured. Peril looked at Turtle and smiled. 

"Thanks, now I got to go inside, I'll write to you guys, bye," Peril called as she went inside and went to Clay's office. She sure will miss learning here.
