Notice
This is not actually going to be finished. I have a habit of starting stories and then not finishing them. I may come back to this story at some point and do another chapter or two but don't expect an ending.

P.S. The reason I'm posting this here is because I realized that I have stories on WoF wiki but not here, on the wiki where stories are supposed to be posted.

Chapter one
Silence quietly landed in front of the school. Looking around, she spotted the entrance and started walking over.

"Hi!" A voice said, from right in front of her face. Startled, Silence took a step back.

"I'm Holly! Who are you?" Said a bright blue Silkwing.

Silence just looked at her, contemplating how long it would take for her to leave once she realized Silence never spoke.

"Aren't you going to answer?" Holly said, cocking her head.

"Of course she isn't going to answer if you're right in front of her face." Said a Hivewing with a sigh, as she walked up. "I'm Damselfly, and this is a Silkwing who will be stepping back now." She said with a pointed glare at Holly.

Holly looked at Silence, and then at Damselfly, and then at Silence again, with a sheepish smile she stepped back. "Sorry!"

Silence nodded gravely, as if to say "We all make mistakes."

"Why isn't she speaking?" A nervous Leafwing asked, cautiously creeping over.

"Hawthorn!" Damselfly said happily bounded over and nearly knocking him over with a hug. Her tail twined around his as she gave him a soft smile.

"Hi Damselfly" He said with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah, we know, we know, you guys are a couple. Can we get back to the mysterious silent dragon!" Holly said, annoyed.

Hawthorn and Damselfly paid no attention to her as they stared into each others eyes.

"Technically she's an eritque arcus, not a mysterious silent dragon." A Nightwing said, walking up. "Though she is the first one I've met that has gray scales..."

Holly stared at the newcomer, "Say what now?"

"Well, most eritque arcus have bright-colored scales, the constantly changing color attributing to their mood, and gray isn't a color as far as I know. Plus she only has one color, well most eritque arcus have many." The Nightwing tried to explain.

"But what's an eritque arcus?" Holly asked, confused.

"Umm..." The Nightwing trailed off, unsure.

"Holly, Leave the pour guy alone." Damselfly said, finally coming to her senses. "He probably just doesn't understand what you mean."

Silence nodded, glaring at Holly.

"But!" Holly protested. Her voice faltered as she caught sight of the glare Damselfly was sending her way. "Yes, Damselfly." She said with a sigh. "I'll be quiet."

Damselfly nodded triumphantly, and turning to the Nightwing, said, "So, what's your name?"

"Opportunity," He said, still a bit unsure. "You?"

"Damselfly, the adorable Leafwing is Hawthorn, and the thoughtless Silkwing is Holly. We have yet to learn the mysterious Rainwing's name." Damselfly replied, turning her critical gaze to Silence.

"You mean eritque arcus." Opportunity interjected.

"No, I mean Rainwing. We don't use Latin names around here, and if you want to fit in, you'll have to start calling dragons by their proper names." Damselfly said firmly.

"Oh," He said, faltering, "Okay."

"WAIT, HE WAS USING LATIN NAMES!" Holly yelled.

"Calm down Holly, you how you get when you're angry." Hawthorn said nervously.

"Calm down, CALM DOWN! HOW DARE YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOW...." Holly got interrupted midway, by a Mudwing who had emerged from the tunnels. "WILL YOU GUYS PLEASE SHUT UP! SOME DRAGONS ARE TRYING TO SLEEP IN HERE!" He yelled.

Silence looked at the Mudwing confused, Opportunity spoke all of their thoughts when he said, "But it's the middle of the day?"

"Yeah, so." The Mudwing said defiantly.

Opportunity opened his mouth to say more, but was interrupted by a Icewing who appeared alongside the Mudwing in the entrance. "Silence!" She exclaimed, rushing over. "You're finally here!" Silence startled, managed to nod.

"SILENCE!" Everyone chorused.

"Yeah, Silence." The Icewing said turning to face them. "Aren't you guys supposed to be inside already? Don't tell me you've been out here arguing this entire time?"

Everyone looked, giving a sheepish smile.

"Well, what are you waiting for? GET INSIDE!" The Icewing yelled.

Everyone disappeared inside the tunnels as she turned to Silence. "My Mom is going to be so happy that you came, come on." Silence nodded, and followed the Icewing inside, into her new future.
