"Same," Ankha said.

---

Emperor stalked along, and glared at conversing students “stupid dumb sunny, I won’t listen to her, I can terrify dragonets if I want”

---

Aurora took a short nap, then went outside to find Sandpiper or Firebug.

Ankh asked Emperor, "Why do you like being mean?"

“I don’t like being mean, I like being intimidating and terrifying things like you” they snapped, putting their stinger up to ankh’s main neck tendon and threatening to strike

---

Ankha shrugged, unimpressed. "Yeah, but why?"

---

“Because. Weaklings are weaklings, weaklings deserve it” they growled, their stinger slowly pressing against her neck

---

Ankha asked, "But what if we're not weak?" She then yanked Emperor's stinger from her throat and knocked him to the ground in one smooth motion.

---

They shot upwards, and clung to the cave roof “this si why 4 wings benefit me, dragonet. You’re pathetic, you will never beat me”

---

Title: HI

I am new

---

Ankha spread her wings. "I have four wings too, you know."

Firebug touched down on the sharp stones of Jade Mountain. He walked forward, taking in the sights. The stone scraped beneath his claws, and he felt conflicted - would he get used to it and enjoy it as a Skywing? Or would his Hivewing side long for the softer, less...dusty textures of webs? Firebug noticed the nearly empty outer area and figured the rest of the dragonets had already made their way inside, and he was a bit relieved not to be dumped into chaos from the first minute. Looking around, he noticed a rather energetic dragon saying goodbye to his parents - which he was a bit surprised to see were a Sandwing and a Seawing. Firebug had thought he might be the only hybrid in the school, but clearly he was wrong. Noise from the entrance to the caves caught his attention, and he gasped slightly at seeing a real Nightwing exit the caves. Walking over to her he shyly waved his wing in greeting. "Hi there," Firebug said, taking in her stunning black and blue scales. "A-are you a student here, too? Uh, I'm Firebug - I'm eight," he added quickly.

Wintergreen had quickly found her way to the listings of the winglets posted in the cave, after arriving a bit late. Jade Winglet! The Icewing shivered a bit with the realization that she was in the same winglet that Moonwatcher, Qibli, Prince Turtle, Kinkajou, and of course, Prince Winter had been in. Her clawmates were named Venus, Rose, and Quickbeat. A...Silkwing or a Nightwing, perhaps, along with maybe a Rainwing or another Silkwing? She wasn't sure what tribe Quickbeat might be from; the name didn't sound like any particular tribe. Following the map underneath the list, the Icewing made her way to her cave. Wintergreen stepped inside and saw the most beautiful dragonet she'd ever seen in her life. The stranger had deep blue and purple scales, covered all over with touches of brown, orange, pink, and white, making it look like a galaxy lived in her scales. "Hey there, I- Woooooahhhhhhh," came her greeting as she took the dragonet in. Although Wintergreen had studied the other tribes, she hadn't thought to study hybrids before. Which clawmate of hers was this? Probably not Quickbeat...ah. Venus, of course - named after a planet, she looked as though she actually did come from the cosmos. She felt unbelievably boring with her icy blue, white, and pale green coloring. Most Icewings looked pretty similar. "Uh. I'm Wintergreen," she introduced herself. This stranger must be at least part Rainwing - she remembered that they were considered the prettiest dragon tribes. "I'm, er, I'm in your winglet."

Sandpiper pressed himself close to his parents. His mother, Seaspray, gave him a big hug with her sky blue wings. "You be good now," she reminded him. "And mind your tail," his father, Warbler, added, making sure to keep his own tail barb coiled tightly away from other dragons. Sandpiper squiggled away from the two of them, nodding eagerly. "I know, I know." His parents smiled back at him before lifting off. "Goodbye!" He felt a pang of loneliness watching the dragons fly away. He knew he'd miss the two of them, and his young sister, Reef, but he also knew he was about to have a LOT of fun. Looking around, Sandpiper watched a very bright red dragon race over to a Nightwing, and had to do a double take. The red dragon looked like a Skywing at first glance, but he had a black underbelly and other black splotches across his wings. Pleased to see another hybrid, he slid past the two of them and trotted farther into the caves. Picking one at random, he poked his head in to find a rather bored looking Nightwing and a pretty white-ish dragon who looked like she might be a Silkwing. "Hello," Sandpiper said, grinning at them. "Sorry to bother you. Just exploring."

---

“I do not care, dragonet” they said, hitting the ground and sliding out their wrist stingers “I could kill you if I wanted. But I won’t” they grinned wickedly

---

Ankha looked at them, still unimpressed. "Oh, no. I'm terrified," she said snarkily.

---

“You will be” they grinned, as blood slowly leaked from their mouth, pooling on the floor “they all will be”

"Hi! I'm Aurora and I'm 11, are you Firebug?" Aurora asked

Climbing onto a bed of Webbing, Spiri curled up, folding her butterfly-like wings on top of each other. She closed her eyes and took a rest.

---

Firebug nodded. "Yeah, yeah that's me," he answered, shuffling his feet a bit shyly. The Nightwing - Aurora - was older than him by about 3 years, which was reflected in her size. The only thing that made Firebug look anywhere near as big as the Nightwing was his wingspan, which, naturally for a Skywing, was much longer than most dragon species. "It's nice to meet you. I'm, um, I'm excited to see who's in my winglet." A thought occurred to him. "Oh - are you in my winglet? Is that how you recognized me?"

See my previous post for Wintergreen and Sandpiper.

"Yes, we're both in the Gold Winglet along with someone called Sandpiper. Do you know them?" Aurora asked.

Sunny came out of the cave and added a new name to the Gold Winglet list. She smiled at some nearby students and dragged Tsunami back into the cave with her.

Nightfall was waiting for other students to arrive to see if any of them were really hyper or mean or just like him, quiet. He ignored Spiri resting nearby. Maybe he could rest too.
