On Transcending Wings
This is a short story I wrote for my English class. It doesn't contain as much detail as I would have wanted, sadly, since there was a page limit... which I still went over. XD Nonetheless, please read and enjoy! It was said that the strongest steel...
Chapter Nineteen
**Chapter Nineteen**** ** Keira watched the old, white-scaled dragon take Ruari away. The poor whelp looked like he could hardly fly straight after using so much of his magic. _Magic...I think I used magic._ Keira clenched and unclenched her talons...
Chapter Eighteen
**Chapter Eighteen**** ** Ruari lay in his bed and stared at his talons as he lit small sparks between them. To anyone else, it would look like he was playing around with his magic, but his mind was ebbing and flowing with constant thought. One...
Chapter Twelve
** ** The trip home had been much slower than the trip there. Fallon and Keira often stopped for a quick break mostly to drink some water, but he wanted to check on her wounds to make sure they wouldn't grow into anything worse. The makeshift bandage...
Chapter Eleven
The flight back to her old home was long and strenuous, but at least Keira had the chance to talk with Fallon to help pass the time. Learning about magic distracted her from the ache in her wings. She wanted to try and discover her magic when they...
Chapter Ten

Chapter Six
"Are you ready to go, Keira?" Fallon asked, standing just beneath the doorframe to her room. She looked up and him and gave a solemn nod. The month had passed by faster than she expected it to; it still felt like yesterday when she had lost...
Chapter Five
Ruari stared listlessly at his dragon-shaped plushy that his sister had given him as a third birthday present before she had left--over a year ago now. It was a toy she had played with when she was younger, but it still looked like it was almost new....
Chapter Four
** ** Fallon tilted his wings and dived down toward the city. The wind roared in his ears as he plummeted from the sky like an ebony arrow until his wings shot out and ripped backward to slow his descent. He landed on his hinds first before bouncing...
Chapter Three
** ** Keira shifted around in her bed and then felt an aching pain suddenly jolt up her spine. With a weak yelp, her eyes shot open as her body crumpled forward. Just as quickly as the pain came, it disappeared. She panted and winced, a dull ache now...
