"Hi!" Bethany smiled. She took her gaze off of the precious stone she was wearing. It was one of the only things that made her feel truly special, since she didn't have powers. Other than the royal family, she only truly knew one person who was like in her in the sense that she was powerless- Brooke. (She can be called Beth for short )

Brooke halted her spinning, having to catch her balance before she could speak again. "What have you been up to?" She asked, playing with a strand of her hair. Even though her parent forced her to cut it, it just kept growing, no matter what. Other than staring at that necklace.

"I-I've been... Um..." The girl couldn't remember what she had done. "Oh! I took a trip on Skye. It's beautiful up there-" she said, pointing towards the sky. "I've been wanting to ride Eclipse, but you know how he is."

Brooke let out a another giggle, glancing up to the sky. "Yes, Eclipse doesn't like guest to much!" She responded, thinking of her times on Skye. Her blood went wild, and a odd feeling was stirred up within her. An urge to do something, but she wasn't sure exactly what. She always thought this was the normal reaction to flight, so she never inquired about the feeling.
( What if Eclipse knows about Brooke, so when she and Beth are riding on Skye, he grabs her off or something and drops her on purpose? While she is hurtling to the ground, she turns into her dragon form. )

(How nice of him! But sure)
"Hey, how about we take a flight now? I'm sure Skye wouldn't mind. After all, she's quite the sweetheart." Bethany smirked. "Midnight always glances her dirty looks. I think he's jealous."

Brooke shrugged her shoulders, try to conceal the excitement that was bubbling up within her. "Sure, lets go! I wonder if Midnight gets many visitors, maybe we should visit him sometime!" She said, crouching down, tightening her shoelace. We don't want my shoe to fall off midair!

"Yep! I wonder where Skye is..." Bethany's voice trailed off, and her hand once again landed on the necklace she was wearing.
At the call of her name, Skye, who wasn't far, spread her wings and took off in the direction that she had heard her name. The caught sight of two girls, and flew down and began nuzzling both of them.

Eclipse lifted his head, hearing Skye's name called. He watched the Pegasus fly off, licking his lips. She would make a perfect meal. I would be kicked out, but that wouldn't be bad. I'm trapped in this prison.
Brook stroked Skye's mane, scratching her neck. Like most creatures of her type, she loved being scratched like that. Brook bunched her muscles, springing onto Skye with extreme ease. She settled down, waiting for her friend to climb on.

Bethany climbed onto Skye, holding onto Brooke for support. "Thankfully Eclipse hasn't been near her or Midnight. Although, Midnight would give him quite a tough time if he were to try and eat him. He is uncontrollable when he's mad." She began thinking back to a time when she had first tried riding Midnight. She had done something wrong, and she had gotten instantly bucked off. Midnight had sent multiple flames from his horn, and ran off. The thought shook her with fear. Thinking back to what she was talking about, she said, "Have you seen Eclipse at all recently?"

Brooke helped her friend get up, pulling her up when she grabbed onto her arm. He nails dug into her skin, but it caused her no pain. Brooke shook her head, glancing at the sky. "No, I haven't. He's probably gone into hiding, brewing up ideas to get rid of the whole village..." She said, taking another worried glance at the sky. After all, he had tried before. He had flew over the village, stunning villagers with his lighting.

Skye stayed still for the girls to get onto her, and without warning, took off, spreading her feathery white wings and climbing higher and higher into the sky.
"Isn't this great?" Bethany asked, blinking in happiness.

Brooke lost her blance when Skye took off, but she quickly righted herself. The same feeling rushed through her blood as always. The urge to challange the sky, to take off. I have no powers, so that will forever be impossible. Brooke turned to Bethany, a wild smile spread across her face as her hair whipped around in the wind. "Yes, yes it is!" She yelled over the sound of the wind.
Eclipse looked up again, seeing the figures in the sky. He squinted his eyes, trying to define the figures. That's the shape shifter, isn't it? Eclipse got up from the ground, his talons clicking against the cold hard ground Hehe stone. He peaked his head out of his cave further, confirming his thoughts. He silently slid out of his cave, jumping into the air. He soared upwards, the wind trying to push him downward. He pushed upwards, fighting the air resistance. He flew up until he could no long, darting back down. He wings kept him balanced as he hurtled towards Skye and her riders.

Skye could hear the movement of wings, and turned her head. The dragon! She bucked wildly before turning and flapping her wings the fastest she could.
Bethany held on for support, knowing that if she fell, she would die. She wasn't special like everyone else- She wasn't able to grow wings when she wished.

Eclipse neared the pegues, focusing his gaze on the shapeshifter. He parted his mouth, getting ready to snatch up the girl. He let out a roar, grabbing the the girl within his jaws. He ignored her bloodcurdling screams, but he made his grip lifter so he didn't bite through the girl. He flew a bit away, out of the Pegasuses reach. He opened his jaws, dropping the girl.
When Eclipse neared them, she hung onto Skye's mane. She felt the wind from the dragon's wings when he flew above them, nearly knocking her off Skye. She screamed as the dragon leaned in, taking her into his jaws. She wildly grabbed onto Bethany, but her grip was torn away when Eclipse flew upwards. She let out more screams, her ears hurting after only a few screams. She felt the dragons teeth against her skin, but luckily he wasn't puncturing her flesh. Brooke relaxed, accepting her apparent fate. He finally went crazy, and I'm his first victim. He will take me to his cave and gobble me up. I guess this it for me. Suddenly she felt no pressure, and she was flying through the air. It took her a few moments to realize what was happening, her blood was screaming to do something, but she wasn't sure what. Brooke screamed as she hurtled towards the ground, but the noise was drowned out by the rushing wind.
Suddenly a raging pain went through her, and she convulsed with pain while the wind batted her body around in the wind. Her skin became hard, slowly turning green. Horns sprouted from her head, and her arms turned into wings. While this happened, she watched her skin, many thought running through her mind. She didn't exactly know what was happening, but she knew one thing. That feeling that she always felt as she flew in the air was connected to this. Before she knew it, she was no longer in her human form. Her body had transformed into a form that she would never even consider possible. She was a dragon. She spread her wings, the wind catching her.
( Sorry that took so long. )

Bethany refrained from looking down, knowing her friend's fate. Small tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her lip.
Skye stopped once again, sadness that she couldn't save one of her passengers overtaking her. She didn't want to fly down, knowing that all she'd find would be death.

Brooke flapped her wings once, twice. She slowly rose upwards, confusion running through her as she looked at her body. How is this possible? She saw her friend upon Skye, and she finally realized what this all meant. I'm a...I'm a shape shifter! Brooke let out a roar, her wings starting to tremble with fear. She whipped her tail, flailing around. She tried to see if this was all real, but it was. Her heart dropped when she saw Bethany's face, still on top of Skye.

"Wh-who are you?" Bethany stammered, surprised she was able to even get words out. "A-And what happened down there?"
(Short reply, I know)

( Am I the only one with really weird layout that is white right now? )
Brooke let out a small roar, which turned into a whimper. She tried to speak, but all she manged to get out was a few unreasonable squeaks. She wildly flapped her wings in frustration as she tried to explain.

(Yep...)
Bethany stared at the new dragon, suddenly realizing that she was on Skye- Prey for such things. But oddly enough, the Pegasus wasn't moving in the way that she did when near Eclipse.

(( Hmmm. I posted about it so hopefully one of the admins will see it soon.))
Brooke let out another squeak when she saw Bethany shrink back. Will I be able to turn back? Will I be a dragon forever? Brooke turned her head toward the ground, hoping Skye would understand. I would surely die if I turned back midair...

Skye blinked in confusin. The dragon had the scent of Brooke- And that's why she had chosen not to fly away.
Bethany tugged on Skye's mane slightly, trying to get her to come to her senses and fly away to safety. But the pegasus stayed where she was. "Take me down, Skye. Please," she whispered softly.
Sky gave a slight nod, and started a flight downwards. She had learned how to understand what humans said, even though she wasn't able to communicate back.

Brooke let out a desperate squeak, following Skye closely. Please, Skye! Don't run away! Brooke's wings hurt, but she continued flying after Skye. She wasn't going to give up now.

Skye felt relieved once her hooves touched the ground.
Bethany got off quickly, alarm filling her. Where's Brooke's body?

Brooke jumped in front of Bethany, blocking her path. She focused her whole body into switching back, but all she succeed doing was to send a tremor of pain through her body. She roared, looking in Bethany's eye, hoping she would understand.

Bethany blinked in fear, but held out her hand, hoping the dragon wasn't like Eclipse. She stroked it gently, feeling the scales under her hand. Whilst she continued stroking, she looked into the dragon's eyes. They were a brilliant green, like Brooke's. Her eyes widened as a wave of realization washed over her. She immediately stopped stroking. "Brooke!"

Brooke flinched slightly when her hand brushed across her scales, but she kept her head still. When Bethany called out her name a wave of relief washed over her. She nodded her head, doing her best to vocalize her joy. Yes! It's me! It's me! She flapped her wings, accidentally setting flight to the leaves scattered on the ground around them.

"Y-you were lying to me this whole time? I thought I had found someone like me- Powerless and normal. B-but I guess not." Bethany's voice was filled of hurt and sadness.

Brooke wildly shook her head, dread filling her. She reared up on her legs, landing with a loud crash. She let out a deep roar, desperately trying to tell her what she thought was wrong. No... That's not it... I never knew!

"I've seen enough." The girl turned away. Am I the only one in this Kingdom that doesn't have powers?
