[scene begins with a nervous breathing, exhaling shakily. A NightWing is standing behind a large curtain, having her eyes closed and seeming to remember something. A tear drops from her eye, as she continues breathing shakily. Suddenly, a SandWing arrives next to her, revealing to be Sunny]

SUNNY: Nia, you're up soon.

NIA: [opens her eyes] Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm just a bit nervous. I've never been on a stage with a bunch of dragons before.

SUNNY: You'll be fine. You got this. Nothing's gonna go wrong, I'll be there for you. [puts her talon on Nia's shoulder] The best thing to do is to just tell them what you're thinking.

NIA: What I'm thinking? I think that'll be good.

SUNNY: Don't be nervous.

NIA: I'll try not to. [smiles]

SUNNY: You got this.

NIA: Thanks

[Sunny hears a snap outside the curtain, and she grabs multiple scrolls on the table next to her. She hands it over to Nia, who hesitates and thinks for a moment, slowly forcing herself to take it. Sunny looks at Nia confusedly]

NIA: Okay. Let's do this.

SUNNY: You're up.

NIA: [whispers to herself] Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. Come on, Nia, you got this. Just don't be nervous.

TSUNAMI: [outside the curtain] And now, for our special guest of the day, please give it up, for Nia the NightWings!

[Nia steps out of the curtain, walking up the stage and seeing many Jade Mountain Academy recruits below. She breathes nervously, looking around and seeing dragonets from all across the continent. Nia grabs the scrolls on her talons tightly, listening to the cheering from the recruits]

NIA: [shakes talon with Tsunami] Thank you for having me here.

TSUNAMI: [reciprocates] No, thank you. [smiles] We owe you everything for what you did for this continent. You got this... if you ever get nervous, [points at the corner of the crowd] just look at Clay, he'll try to make you feel calm again.

NIA: Hopefully I won't.

[Nia walks to the center of the stage, while Tsunami heads away, standing in the corner. The crowd becomes quiet, leaving an awkward silence as Nia stands there nervously]

[Nia closes her eyes, going through her memory and exhaling. She reopens her eyes, feeling calm again. Sunny peeks from the curtain, whispering to Tsunami in the corner]

SUNNY: She's doing okay?

TSUNAMI: We got nothing yet.

NIA: [looks around the crowd] Hello, dragonets from all over Pyrrhia. My name is Nia... [quickly adds in] the NightWing, of course. Um... [thinks for a moment and quickly becomes saddened] I was a survivor of the war, just like all of you. I'd assume we all lost someone to the war, either it's your parents, your brothers or your sisters, or someone you truly loved.
