Firefly and her family live in the tunnel system of a mountain. Her parents like the tunnels because they claim it keeps them safe from outside dangers, but firefly wants to go outside and explore. One day, Firefly decides to go on a walk outside the tunnels without her parents knowing. She falls asleep under a tree, and she wakes up to the sound of her parents' screams and the smell of smoke. Firefly runs back as fast as she can to her tunnels, but not fast enough. She sees the silhouettes of dragons and people riding them flying away. She sees her parents and they are leaking mysterious red liquid (probably ketchup) and she tells them how sorry she is for leaving them. Their cave smokes in the background. As her mother dies she tells firefly to follow the mysterious hunters on dragons. She flies after the mysterious riders as fast as possible. But she can't get very far. She is forced to land far away from the riders. And that day she silently vows to find the hunters and get revenge. A few years later: Firefly is now an adult and she wears daggers and all that good stuff. She changes her name to Cinder, because she feels the need to forget her past. She’s hot on the mysterious dragon riders trail, when she meets a dragon named Feather. Feather was the victim of the dragon hunters who had captured her and used her. Feather now works as a bar tender for the local Inn. When Cinder (firefly) has a little too much at the bar, she accidently tells feather who she is hunting, and feather tells her she wants to come. Cinder is skeptical because Feather looks small and weak. Feather glares and throws this random knife at the dartboard behind Cinder. The knife barely wooshes past feathers ear, and hits the board in the bull’s-eye. Cinder is impressed, and tells Feather she can join. Feather and Cinder get to know each other a little better. Cinder and feather start to have feelings for each other over the next few weeks, and finally, one day, they admit that to each other. Cinder is happier than she had been in years, And she tells Cinder that her actual name is Firefly, and she tells her her story, and she goes to sleep. However, something nags at Feather’s consciousness. Feather then has a flashback (from Feathers POV) of flying away from Cinders home (when she was firefly) with a chain around her neck and a dragon hunter on top of her. She remembers looking down and seeing a young cinder/firefly looking up at her with teary eyes. Feather gets out of it, shaking and looks at the sleeping form of Cinder. The next few days, Cinder is happy with Feather, but Feather is acting weird. When they get to the remnants of a dragon hunter camp, Cinder asks feather what's wrong. Feather starts crying, and Cinder holds her as Feather tells her that Feather killed Cinder's family. Cinder drops Feather, and gets super mad. At that point, A trap releases and traps both of them, also knocking them out. When they wake up, Feather is alone with a few other dragons. She asked the other dragons where Cinder was and where they were. The dragons reply quietly that she was taken to training and that they were in the dragon fighting arenas. Cinder wakes up, and asks for Feather before remembering what feather told her, and crying a little. At that moment dragon hunters come in, and Cinder gets a flashback because she remembers the certain dragon hunter was one that killed her parents. The dragon hunter says sarcastically how sad it is that Cinder was sad, then he puts rope over her head and jerks. Cinder roared, and the dragon hunter said that there's a lot more where that came from. Feather hears Cinders roar, and tries to get out, but it doesn't work. The next day, Feather can hear Cinders roar outside, and she looks out the window. Outside cinder is fighting a dragon, and kills the dragon. Hunters come out and declare that Cinder is their new champion. The next day, Cinder is put in the arena against Feather. Cinder throws herself at Feather, and fights her. Feather fights back and finally, cinder pins her down. Feather goes limp and says sorry instead of defending herself. Cinder goes in for the final blow, but before she can do it she looks at Feather, and say that she forgives her. Feather and Cinder escape together, and destroy the dragon hunters and the arena and let all the dragon go. Cinder and feather sleep together in a cave that looks out over the sea. Cinder tells Feather to call her Firefly, instead of Cinder, and Feather smiles. Feather says that she loves Firefly, and firefly smiles and says I know. (a classic) Sorry that was so long and a little jumbly. Me: Ill just make a cute little neat backstory-- Intrusive thoughts: NO YOU WILL MAKE AN ENTIRE NOVEL WORTH OF BLAH BLAH BLAH...
