Shadow of Fire

Chapter 1

Sahara stepped into the cool ocean. She smiled, letting the wind move around her sandwing bridge.

She sat down, digging her talons into the wet sand.
She yelped back as a talon- full of sand hit her snout.

What the? She thought jumping back.

"Ha! Got you." Her brother screamed,

"Why you little." Sahara hissed.

She made eye contact with her brother, she grinned, taking a step forward, swaying her tail imitate the wind, brushing up her scales.

Gobi narrowed his eyes, and quickly turned around, dashing forward Sahara leaped into the air, chasing after him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Gobi screamed, as Sahara tackled him.

"Sorry won't cut it." Sahara growled.

"Sahara get off of your brother." Her mother yelled from across the beach. Sahara's nostrils filled up with smoke.

"You got lucky." She said, getting off of him.

Gobi got up as well, looking down at his talons.

"Sorry." He said.

"It's-ok." Sahara bumped him.

"Just don't do it again." She grinned.

Or so help me. Sahara thought.

Her father came up to her.

"Nice tackle though." He nodded.

"Don't encourage her." Gobi whined.

"Nice throw too." He looked at Gobi.

Sahara sighed.
Gobi smiled.
"Thanks. I calculated the wind and everything-"

"Oh look is that Aroua?" Sahara laughed as Gobi's head shot up, looking around.

"Hey." Gobi blushed.

Sahara stuck her tounge out playfully.
"Gobi, Sahara." Sahara looked at her mother walking up towards them. A skywing flying away behind her.

"I just got a letter from Leopard."

"And, she says she's coming for a visit today." Her mother finished.

Gobi grinned.

"Yes!" Sahara could have sworn that he seemed to almost fill up with excitement everytime Aunt Snow Leopard came for a visit.

"They thought they may as well take a detour before dropping Aurora and Boreal at Jade Mountain for the year." Her mother read.

Gobi looked at her.

"They got excepted?" Gobi sheirked.

Sahara covered her ears.
"Please, yell louder." She groaned.

"Yes apparently so." Her mother Amber answered Gobi.

He frowned.

"How come they got their letter before us?!"
Gobi whined.

Amber and her father made eye contact.

"Well...actually." Amber brung out another scroll.

"I just got it." She smiled.

Gobi quickly grabbed the letter, basically trembling with excitement.

Sahara couldn't care less about her getting into Jade Mountain.

She looked down, yet still straining her ears to hear.

Gobi slowly opened the letter.
"....I got in!!!" He yelled throwing the letter into the air.
