Love and War; a Wings of Fire Story

This is a story about Scimitar, a 7-year old SkyWing who's life was upturned by his one true love.

Scimitar
Scimitar had never been the most popular dragonet. Sure, he got by just fine, but what would life be like if he was one of the dragonets who everybody liked. He had a couple of friends who were in that group. He had no problem making friends with anyone, but he was more of a voluntary laughingstock than one of them. He never thought he would become part of that crowd. It was an idea to obscure to even contemplate. He didn't even know if he wanted to be in that group. All of this changed the day he met Drift.

Drift was a graceful, sleek IceWing who's claws and tail seemed sharper than the pencils that his brother Spear insisted upon sharpening until they were more eraser than pencil. She never really talked to anyone, walking around with her chin up and a talk-to-me-if-you-dare look on her face. Scimitar had always assumed she was just another stuck-up, self-serving, inflated-ego girls that thought that nobody else was cool enough to talk to her. This all made her the cool-dragonet jackpot. He had never spoken to her. He had heard what she said back to the dragonets who did, if she said anything back at all, that is.

It was a regular day. He walked down the familiar path to Willow Creek Academy, a school on the island of Willow, named after the dragoness who discovered it. She, along with her girlfriend Sundew, built the school and opened it to the citizens of Pyrrhia, although due to the island's climate and location, only SkyWings and IceWings were willing to live there. His parents had quickly moved here when news came of the island's discovery. Now, Willow ran the school. As Scimitar walked into his first class, he saw that Arrowhead was already there. He had been friends with Arrowhead for four years now. As Arrowhead looked up to see Scimitar, he couldn't keep away the familiar goofy grin that always came with making eye contact with him. Scimitar sat down next to Arrowhead and said hi with that, even more familiar, comedic awkwardness, saying hi while moving his head in a circular motion. Something between them just clicked. They fought all the time but found it amusing, ending each fight with both of them repeating the same thing in increasingly higher voices until they both burst out laughing.

Sorry, this is kind of a bad place to stop, but I gtg. More is to come!
