The Finding of Scroll

Chapter 2

Scroll was making his way through the forest looking for a nice bird or lizard. He stopped short and his ears pricked up. No voices? I must be leaving the forest! He turned around and started to walk slightly faster back to the village. He looked down at the grass listening for other dragons thoughts. He became slightly worried and closed his eyes to focus. He then started to gallop and suddenly ran head first into something.

Scroll stumbled back clutching his head and when he looked up, he saw a Rainwing start to get up (probably from a nap) and her scales started to shift to red. She opened one of her green eyes and her pupil went from a black oval to a slit in a second.

The Red and black of her scales had a pop of lime green when she jumped up. Then like a wave, the green started to spread taking over the black but leaving the red lines. "Nightwing...:"

"Oh uhh, Hi ...Rainwing..." Scroll said tilting his head. No voices? He stared at the Rainwing who was slightly smaller than him, but she looked about a year or two older. The Rainwing looked around as the bright green started to fade to a darker color. "So, I was-" Scroll started to say. The Rainwing was looking to the right but her body was faced towards scroll. This puzzled Scroll but he ignored it.  " I was-"

"Shut it," The Rainwing interrupted and the flare on the side of her face went up. "I'm not a typical Rainwing and I'm not afraid to hurt you, now tell me who you are and why you're in our rainforest!" She looked mad and ready to tackle him if he tried to run. Her mouth was open but Scroll could only see the side view and he could see that her fangs were out. well, she's not afraid to use her venom...

"I'm...  Call me Scroll." Scroll said as he sat down. The Rainwing folded back her wings and her fangs then closed her mouth and looked in the direction her head was facing. " A NICE Nightwing who does not intend on hurting you." Scroll continued. He then looked in the same direction but say/heard nothing or no one.

She snorted and turned her head slightly towards scroll. "I don't care about that," she said angrily. "Why! Are you here?" Scroll stared at her and tried again to listen to her thoughts. She rolled her eye and her scales started to all shift to red again. Scroll looked her over and noticed that she was wearing a necklace that looked claw crafted. He has never seen a rainwing wearing a neckless before, well to think of it, he has never seen any rainwing wearing jewelry in general.

Suddenly Scroll got up and confessed hoping that it would get the rainwing go away, "I was for some reason hatched here and made the forest my home. Happy now?" he talked really fast but the Rainwing understood and nodded

 "Scroll, that's an interesting name." She took a step back and sat down then she wrapped her tail around her talons. Scroll smiled with slight embarrassment. "So, I guess I should introduce myself then..." The rainwing said. She paused and looked straight at Scroll revealing that her left eye looked to have been burnt all around it and instead of the eye color being is green, it was a mix of blue and red. "My names Gator." She said. " It's a long story why, but I work for queen Glory and I like to do scans of the forest borders." Scroll was staring at Gator's eye as she continued talking, "Blah, blah, blah, and after the Nightwings moved in with us, I am supposed to bring you to her and all."

"Nightwings moved in!?" Scroll accidentally said surprisingly loud and excited. I can finally meet my tribe! Maybe find my parents! Ooo maybe I can make friends! Scroll started to talk to himself slightly mouthing the words.

"Yea...?" Gator said confused. "You're not a typical Nightwing now are you?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "And you're not from around here huh?"
