I soared over the lush green rainforest, smiling as the sun warmed my wings. I looked over at Starfruit my bestie as she flew by her, her scales mostly pink with hints of silver and gold. A random question popped into my head and I flew down so i was right next to her. "Hey Starfruit, if you could be anyone in the world for 10 minutes, who would you be" Starfruit paused for several seconds, then looked up, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I would be Acorn, and i would drop fruit on dragons heads and other things to get him in soooo much trouble!" I stared, then snorted. "Really? The first thing you thought of was you brother???" She grinned widely, before diving down into the trees. I really had no choice but to follow her. Why does she ALWAYS do this? I mean i have to admit its kinda funny until i have to chase her for too long through the forest. "WAIT UP, WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE VILLAGE! WRONGGG WAYYYY!" I shouted after her. Despite how loud i screamed, she probably didn't hear me. She was pretty far away, and the wind was not in my favor. I had no choice but to dive after her, flares of anger in my chest. Today was MY birthday, and i wanted to go back to the village for the party my family scheduled for midday. It wasn't like the whole village was coming- but still. I kinda knew where she would go so i managed to get there before her. "Starfruit?!" I called out, nearly swiping my claws as she materialized in front of me. "You know, you're VERY aggressive for a rainwing she giggled, plooms of yellow filling up her scales. "Geez, why so stereotypical. It's a NEW era!" I wish rainwing scales didn't show emotions, i could tell my scales are changing to light red, even if i try hard not to show it. "Can we go back to the party now please?" a begged "You know what? sure!" i sighed in relief "Race ya!" Starfruit burst into the trees. Frustrated i followed her. Chasing Starfruit is hard, shes nimble and fast in the forest. I can barely see her colorful tail as she zigs and zags. I mean at least we'll be there by midday at the rate were going. Hopefully. My mind drifts to the party, so i almost get tangled in a vine. In fact I'm so worried that i crash straight into Starfruit who is sitting on the ground for some reason. Why are we even flying so low? Then i see what shes looking at, and i freeze, shocked to the core. The forest is on fire- and it looks intentional.
Art and story by me! This is a WoF story. The main character is a rainwing! See this project to know which emotion is which color on rainwing scales: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/435756617/
