Spellmaker opened his eyes to see his mom looking very disappointed at him.

“Spellmaker! Get up! Its time to go!” Said Scorpion, his mom.

Well this was great.

Now he had to go to a ‘Peace’ school AKA Jade Mountain Academy.

He did not want to go there at

all.

So, being the Scorpion everyone knew, he grabbed spellmaker out of his sand dune bed and swatted him. “Get ready or you might not get to go at all!” She roared.

Ooooo. Not even going at all? He could avoid his mothers wrath for now. Wait. His mom really wanted a break from raising a dragonet with out any kind of help. After all, according to Scorpion, his dad left years ago before his egg ever hatched. He said he was finding his animus brother, left and never came back.

As they took off, he thought about maybe getting lucky and finding some friends. No, the other side of his brain said, you’ll probably die before next sunrise.

Well that was great news.

While Spellmaker’s gone maybe i can- then a wall kicked Spellmaker out of her mind.

One day later.

They arrived at the academy exhausted and hungry at Jade Mountain Academy. Sounded greaaaat. He looked around only to see a RainWing greeting dragonets amd showing then to their caves.

Maybe if he ran fast enough, the RainWing would just be a classic lazy RainWing.

Your wrong about that; that’s the Queen of the RainWings, so show some respect. Thought someone in the crowd.

He shuddered. No way in the three moons was he EVER to be alongside a NightWing who read minds, they probably already thought he was crazy; with all his visions spinning around his head.

No, i think your fine.

Wow. Now he had to be extra careful of what he thought.

Now he saw two possibilities where he was greeted by the RainWing and they wanted him to come to the rainforest. If he wanted to not get noticed, his opportunity was right now. He shot out of the sky, also noticeably his mother had already left.

Come over to the NightWing with silver teardrop scales greeting everyone. I will meet you there.

Sure. He thought.

He casually walked over to the NightWing and thought, I’m here. The NightWing looked over and said “Hello, Spellmaker! You made it! I thought you wouldn’t!”

Thanks for the faith, NightWing, that

i don’t even know. I know you can hear me.

So, if you now know who i am, please go to the four-i know. You dont need to tell me. He thought. And he walked into the caves. And let the waves crash and wash away everyone’s thoughts.

Quiet. Peace. He focused on those two words.

Until someone thought something that escaped his waves,

I wonder who is that handsome

NightWing—SandWing? He looks nice. I should go say hello. Wait, no. That would look weird. I should wait.

He considered the possibility of him asking her who she was, but he saw that he would get to know her quite a bit. In the future. But if he talked to her now it might wreck the possibility of them even being friends.

So he quickly ran to the fourth cave on the right. And walked into his cave and saw a SandWing and a SeaWing.

And he immediately ran towards the sand dune bed when the SandWing spoke up; “thats mine.” Awesome. Now he had to sleep on the rock bed, that looked extremely uncomfortable.

Hi. I’m Seaweed. The grumpy SandWing over there is cactus. He flicked his tail in the direction of the fuming SandWing. And you are? Asked Seaweed. Hello, I’m Spellmaker. What else should i say? You can call me spell though. He said, climbing on his rock bed. And he immediately regretted doing so. “Ow!” He yelped. You ok Spell? Asked Seaweed. “Yeah… just.. not used to sleeping on rock. Also not used to other Dragons…. He thought.

This place sucks. I wish i could go swimming in my favorite Kelp forest. Thought Seaweed miserably.

Well, i might as well make something with my magic. Maybe something that tells me whenever danger is nearby. Don’t do that. Don’t waste your soul. Thought Moon. Ha, as if you know anything about me. He thought. If only she knew…

Now i just need something to enchant.

Spellmaker walked out of his cave in search of something to enchant and a some privacy. Not that he cared if anyone knew, he just didn’t want a mob of dragons asking for stuff.

He turned down a hall and saw just what he needed; a amulet that could easily be turned into a wristband.

He grabbed it and headed to the library.

As he entered the library, he saw three other Dragonets in there, an IceWing, RainWing and the SkyWing from the hall.

The SkyWing looked up at him and locked eyes with him for a good two minutes until Spellmaker decided to find a book on animus magic and broke eye contact with the SkyWing.

He would have to find out her name later.

After a little searching and a lot of strange looks, he finally found a decent scroll. It read;

famous animus touched objects from the scorching and beyond; updated by starflight of the NightWings

he read through and saw nothing of particular interest.

Great. Nothing.

While he did have some ideas, he still was missing that one thing he wanted.

Maybe… a map? Wait no, a map where you could track whoever you wanted… maybe multiple dragons… yes i think I’ll do that… He thought. He muttered out the enchantment. Now he just had to find the right dragons to put on it….

Before he could even test it at all, the third gong sounded. It was time for the stupid peace stuff. Honestly he wished he could test his invention, but he didn’t want to risk getting sent to Tsunami. So, he headed to the meeting cave. The entrance was so crowded with dragonets. It was Huge.

And on the podium, stood Tsunami. The one dragon that he planned to avoid for the semester. Also, there was that SkyWing who had a obvious crush on him, his clawmates, and a RainWing he didn’t recognize, and there was him. Wow. So many thoughts about him. Wow, there he is! Maybe i should say hi. Thought the SkyWing. Hmmm. Maybe i should be wary of that NightWing. Thought an IceWing he didn’t notice earlier. Oh look, a ugly hybrid. Thought the NightWing. Ugh, not That Arrogant Hybrid. Thought cactus. Maybe i should just kill him. It should be easy, with those weak looking talons. Looks like a scrollworm. Well… that was… worrying. Well, now he had something else to worry about. A crazy deranged SandWing who wanted to kill him. Greaaaat. “All right!” Yelled Tsunami. “Its time to learn each others names!” What? I thought we were just getting lectured about peace, not being forced to yell out stuff we would rather keep to ourself… No matter. He would likely find some ideas for enchantments… The SkyWing raised her hand quickly and enthusiastically. “Memememe!” Tsunami rolled her eyes and said; “fine. You first.” I hate this. Tsunami thought. To many bubbly dragonets… “alright! My name is Peak!” Said the SkyWing. And i would love to find some new friends! As she said that, she looked at Spellmaker with a hopeful look. He simply smiled back. “I also love making cool things!” After that, Tsunami looked like she just remembered something important. Great. I forgot the anti-animus bands Turtle created. She thought. Anti animus? Thats… not great. He thought. I think it will be great, Spellmaker. You really need to stop using your magic. Thought Moon. I’m perfectly fine, thank you very much. He thought, and he shot a scowl at Moon, and she flinched. Still shy i guess… he thought, not expecting Moon to flinch. Then, Moon reached in her bag and revealed a band. Anti-Aminus bands… he thought with worry. “Alright! Anyone who is an animus, please step up on the podium!” yelled Tsunami. Spellmaker got up with a worried expression. And he slowly walked up and looked down at the Dragonets, he was the only one who stepped up… not good. He thought. I was hoping someone else stepped up so I wouldn’t get all the attention… Well, he got exactly what he expected.

lol

An animus? In this school? Wow!

Interesting… i should be careful around him…

Wow! I hope he likes me…

Wonderful.

The next couple of days were very busy. He constantly had a mob of dragonets following him, even following him to his cave. He really needed to really get a break.

Maybe you really should take the wristband. Animus power is very dangerous…

How would you know?

You’re

just a stupid NightWing.

I dont think you really think that.

Maybe not, but Id rather be left alone for now, Moon. He lifted his head up with a shudder. He should probably tell his friend about on his mother. He headed to his cave when he suddenly stopped. The future… was… changing. Suddenly, he got a searing headache, and a vision struck him like lightning, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground.

Fire. Fire everywhere. He saw SkyWings storming Jade Mountain. They were all spreading out and shouting; “Find Her!”

“Don’t let Her escape!” Moon screaming. Qibli fighting toward Peak, who was desperately trying to hide from the SkyWings. Webs dead. Kinkajou dead.

Spellmaker shook out of the vision, with Moonwatcher with her eyes closed, listening to my vision he thought with a realization. He thought he could hear a distant sound of water dripping as he glared at Moon.
