Here's the starting draft:

I landed on the landing ledge in front of the entrance cave and sighed, “Time to start a whole new phase of my life. One that includes lots, and lots of training, for a job I don’t even want.” I muttered under my breath, giving a beaming smile as a a group of Seawings walked by. Growling inwardly as they all walked away giggling.

“At least try to enjoy it, you know dad isn’t as happy about it either. I still don’t understand why we had to give you up.” Said a small voice to my right. I looked at Warrior and sighed, “It was because of mistake Mom made my little scholar, and now I have to make up for it. But you get to live a full happy life, so make the most of it, K? I’ll come visit you when you’re older.”

She gave me a beaming smile, one that — unlike mine — was real, “K.” She then looked to the skies, spotting dad hovering. “I better get going, or else dad’s going to force me to do weapon training…..again. I still don’t understand why I need to learn how to throw a spear correctly or how to wield a sword. It’s not like we’re going to war anytime soon. Enjoy school sis.”

“I’ll try,” I said affectionately as I watched my little sister take to the skies, meeting our father: General Admiral. A weird name, I know, two titles in one. But he was named Admiral after the butterfly rather than the rank, before he became a general, being Silkwing and all.

You know that mistake I mentioned, the one that Mom made. That mistake was Warrior. Though I don’t see it as one. Mom agreed to take her egg long ago, from some prisoners who wanted a better life for their child. Turns out they were on trial for trying to kill the Skywing Queen and when a the new Queen found out about her existence a couple of months ago they wanted to take her away. I however, managed to strike a deal, I would be whatever they wanted me to be as long as my sister was left alone. And so……
