She woke up to something gently shaking her shoulder, almost as if they knew that they might get clawed. She internally grinned at herself before blowing smoke out of her nostrils. She heard coughing before: ”Aurora!” She opened her eyes and said, “Yes?” innocently. She saw Sahara and Tamarin standing over her. “Time to go!” Sahara said. “Fiiiiine,” she grumbled, standing up and jumping off her fur-covered ledge. She shook her sales to wake herself up before saying,”Where are we going?” “You’ll see,” Tamarin smilled. They followed Tamarin along a path that just went past the library. Aurora heard a familiar voice. She turned. Cometflinger was behind them, trotting up to them. “Hello,” Aurora greeted him. “Hi, Who’s the Rainwing?” Tamarin turned around and said her name, holding her talon out.  Aurora dragged him over a few steps do Tamarin could feel his face. He was slightly creeped out about that. Soon, they were walking again. Within minutes they walked in a cave. There was a dark brown Mudwing, a dark green Nightwing, a bright yellow and pink rainwing, a pale Sandwing, an emerald green Seawing, a coppery Skywing sitting slightly away from everyone else, a gray-blue Seawing, and Inferno, who was sitting next to the other Skywing. Hmmm. Let’s see here. She thought. That smoking Skywing must be Peirl, Turtle is the green Seawing, Pike the gray one. Kinkajou is the Rainwing, Qibli the Sandwing, which must mean that the Mudwing is Lilypad, and then Moonwatcher. She looked at them all in turn. Wait a minute, Moon has silver scales by her eyes. Does that mean… Holy cows, can she read minds? Yes, she can, I know this. Lemme try somethin. She shout-thoughted the Nightwing’s name as loud as she could. Moon looked startledly at her. Alright, I’m pretty sure you are reading my mind right now, correct? The black dragonet nodded slightly, barely noticable. Ah, good to know. The Sandwing -Qibli- however, did indeed notice the small action, and whispered something in her ear. Aurora didn’t see the rest, and sat down with her friends by the front, and realized that Sunny was at the front, talking with Peirl. She sat down next to Cometflinger, who was next to Sahara, who was next to Tamarin. She took another look around. There was supposed to be two Icewings, so one besides herself. Aurora frowned at this. She was just about to ask Cometflinger about this puzzling occurrence when she heard panting, heavy footsteps, and a light twinkling sound that she got when she shook her head and neck. Aurora turned her head towards the doorway just as a strikingly gorgeous Icewing in what seemed like a rainbow of blue. His spikes, horns, and claws were navy-ocean blue. His actual body was the color the color of a cloudless cear day in the Ice Kingdom, and his scales went from deep ocean to sapphire to steel to tealish blue. The membrane on his wings were also deep sapphire. His underbelly was a white so bright it hurt her eyes when the sun shine on it. He looked like he was made of crystals. He ducked his head and trotted over to her, and, to her surprise, sat right next to her.

“Hey,” he said in a low voice. “Did I miss anything?” Aurora countered his question without a second thought. “Did you throw anything?” He laughed. Smooth, clear, high pitched, and like music to her ears. She smiled. His sapphire blue eyes met her amethyst ones. She felt her heart flutter, and she could feel something in the fabric of the universe shift slightly, as if the future just became a bit to real.
