Listen, And The Stars Shall Speak

Hello Old Friend

A/N: One, I added more to the Ander attack part. Two, I have found an OC I love. His name is Cresent.....Shoutout to moonwatchersister for creating him! 

The time had finally come. Shore was officially headed for JMA. He, Joy, Kelp, Rin and Ander had all flown over to the school. Much to Shore's dismay, Orange wouldn't be arriving until later that day with her parents. Double dismay, Juniper had already arrived. 

Shore and his sisters stayed near the entrance of the school as Joy and Kelp greeted their old friends. Rin looked around with excitement, as Ander eyed everyone with terror.

"This looks awesome." Rin exclaimed. "I wish I didn't have to wait a year."

"I don't like it." Ander whispered, shaking her head frantically. "No me gusta. Non tamquam. No way." She hid behind Shore's wings as a pair of Icewings walked by. 

"What's wrong with it?" Shore asked. 

"Dragons." She hissed. "They're everywhere. Their futures are clawing at my very bones." She shook her head again and paled. "Too many living creatures." Rin and Shore exchanged a glance. Just when they thought they knew everything about their sister, they discovered that they really knew nothing at all.

*~*~*~*

As Ander slowly panicked over her growing enochlophobia, another dragonet was also beginning his first day at JMA. 

"I don't want you to go!" Hope cried, clinging to Ember. Her brother smiled. Hope never wanted him to go anywhere- unless she was coming along, of course. Nightflyer rolled his eyes with a grin.

"Hope, he'll be back before you know it." Air insisted, attempting to tug the dragonet off. It was no use.

"No!" she declared.

"But the sooner I go to school, the sooner you get to go with me." Ember explained. "So if I don't go to school, then you can't either." Hope hesitated, and eyes her brother skeptically. "Don't make me use your baby name." he warned. Her eyes widened and she let him go.

"No no no." she insisted, shaking her head. "No baby name. I's a big girl!" 

"Sure you are." he agreed with a smirk. 

*~*~*~*

"Shore," Kelp began. "Do you have a minute?"

"I've got all day." Shore insisted. "Why?"

"I want to show you something." 

Kelp led him down one of the hallways, away from the school. 

"When your mother and I went here, she used to give me dance lessons."

"I know. She still does." Kelp smirked and continued.

"Well, in our last year, I found a cave that the Seawings hadn't overtaken yet, and it became like a special place for us, you know? So, figured we could start a little tradition." They stepped into a large cave, with a flat floor and a large lake. 

"Wow." Shore whispered in awe. Kelp grinned, remembering the long days he and Joy had spent in this cave. 

"I thought that you should share this place with someone special, like I did with your mother. And then, one day, your own son can do the same." he explained. Shore smiled. He knew the kind of special that his dad was referring to, but for some reason he wanted to bring Orange here. It seemed like the kind of place she would like. 

"That sounds awesome." he agreed, grinning at the cave.

*~*~*~*

As Ember said goodbye to his parents, Hope let out a shriek and ran off. 

"Hope!" Ember called, rushing after her. There was still a big part of him that was paranoid to leave his little sister alone. 

"Whisp!" he heard her yell. Sure enough, the familiar blue dragonet stood nearby; until she was tackled to the ground by an energetic Hopeseeker. A red dragon raised her eyebrows at the sight.

"Don't tell me we have to search for your family all over again." She commented.

"Crimson!" Hope screeched, diving for her. Ember smiled at the sight of them. 

"Hey Ember," a familiar voice nodded.

"Cinder." he replied. "It's good to see you." She smiled at him, noting that he was still wearing the engraved chakram of the Colors of the Wings.

"It's good to see that your loyalties haven't changed." 

"Well, when you find someone's little sister and save them from evil Icewings, it tends to leave a mark." Cinder laughed. "Are you going to JMA too?"

"Moons no. I still have an organization to run. But Crimson's ruffians wouldn't stop nagging her to join them here, so I'm just dropping her off. I assume you are attending?" 

"Yep."

"Good. Then you can keep an eye on Crim for me, alright?"

"Of course," Ember saluted her. "Anything for the leader."
