Wings of Fire Book 2: The Lost Heir

{ Chapter Six }
The world was black and it seemed like it was getting darker, but the dark faded and he found himself in the forest. Sprout was sore and exhausted as if he had been flying for days, there were several dragons in front of him. Yellow, orange black… wait, Silkwings don’t have black on them, that must mean, He thought, Hivewings, but what the heck are they doing here? He thought then his brain clicked. the Tirreti, they must know the Queen sent me on a quest, but how? “Okay Leafwing, you’re gonna tell us where you are heading” One of the
male Hivewings stepped up and said in a menacing tone. I can’t lie to them, i would really want to but how? Maybe i can say.. getting supplies for the Queen? Okay, i’ll try it. He thought. “Getting supplies for the Queen” Sprout said confidently and looked over to see his brown bag but it wasn’t there. “Out this far away from the Leafwing Kingdom? We know Queen Vlurin, we know she wouldn’t send a subject out this far.” The Hivewing rolled his eyes and from behind him was his bag, he opened it and pulled out the map. “Yeah, getting ‘supplies’ for the Queen.” The Hivewing scoffed. We need to get out of here and now, is Locust here? He thought and turned his head looking for Locust. He whispered “Locust?” But there was really no point on whispering because the Hivewings were right in front of him. One of the female Hivewings came out from behind, but something was different about this particular Hivewing. She has two wings. He thought, I have no time to acknowledge an interesting Hivewing. He thought and got the courage to ask them where Locust was. “Where is my friend?” Sprout asked confidently. “Oh, the ‘Leafwing’?” One of them asked. Most of the Hivewings nearly laughed. “You really didn’t catch on? We should’ve expected better for a Leafwing” The male Hivewing laughed. “What do you mean ‘catch on’?” Sprout asked in confusion. “There was no other Leafwing” They scoffed. Sprouts heart nearly dropped. What do they mean? did she escape? did they ever see her? was she ever caught? He thought as the Hivewing with two wings walked in front of him with a worried face. “Hi, Sprout” Said the two winged Hivewing. “How do you know my name? i never told you guys my name.” He said in confusion, his brain clicked; That IS Locust. He thought in misbelief. “How could you?” Cried Sprout. “I.. i used you so we can get the Hazel Egg..” She said in an unreadable tone. “How did you know?” Asked Sprout. “A thousand years ago, we had an Animus named Widow, she was a hybrid of our kind mixed with a Silkwing named Marsh. Not to long after they got together, Marsh died of a Leafwing attack, yes, it is ironic since her name is ‘Widow’ Anyways that’s not the point, she was driven mad ever since Marsh died. She was trying to hunt down the Leafwing that killed Marsh but never found them, she used a spell, a rather smart spell for all future Hivewings; ‘All my grandchildren will be given the gift of eavesdropping on all Leafwings, just whisper the name and close your eyes and you shall hear the Leafwing you chosen.’ So that’s pretty much how we got you.” Locust explained quickly. Sprout was impressed but furious “How could you? I trusted YOU, i picked YOU!” Sprout yelled, trying to loosen the rope around his arms so he can get at Locust. “I’ve been betrayed… i’m royalty, and i STILL picked you, you were a peasant and i still wanted to be your friend..” He said “So what are you gonna do now? kill me and steal the map?” “Sounds like what a traitor would do to a nice and kind Leafwing.” He added. “We absolutely HATE Leafwings. What do you expect, they killed our great great great great Grandfather!” The male Hivewing spat. “Not all Leafwings are bad like the one that killed Widow.” Sprout pointed out. “Whatever! it’s getting dark, i suggest you get some shut eye, because, oh boy do you got a long day tomorrow!” The Hivewing laughed and so did the others. They all walked away and left Sprout on the hard bug filled forest. Locust peaked at Sprout and had a sorry face on. He whispered; “It’s all your fault, i HATE you.” Sprout was filled with rage that he’d been betrayed. Locusts heart broke and she walked away.

Next Chapter on Moon Rising :D

So. This book is really good. I love the maturity shift Tsunami went through while being with her mother. It was so good. And I love Riptide. He’s so adorable. But the main reason I’m here is to continue what I started.
WHAT IF? Edit: I added one.
So, my what if for this book is: “What If Tsunami was the Animus?”
I feel that if Tsunami were the Animus, it would definitely change a lot, like for one, if she told her mother about it, she would DEFINITELY be put on a leash and basically kept imprisoned in the Kingdom of the Sea, taking the place of Anemone in the actual series.
I also feel the Tsunami would be in lots of danger, for if and when Blister arrived, she would threaten that if Tsunami didn’t use her magic for her, she would kill her friends and her family, although you could say that if that happened, Tsunami would use her magic to kill Blister, but she wouldn’t be able to do that, one, because that might cause large problems in the war, and two, she wouldn’t want to waste her soul.
I do feel that if Tsunami were an animus, she would have played a very big role in the first book, with being able to create small enchantments to help escape the Sky Kingdom, overall maybe making the ending a little better.
My next one kind of ties into the previous book. What if Tsunami never killed Gill?
This would be a game changer!!! For one, Tsunami wouldn’t have the gilt of killing her own father, and two, he would still be alive and be King and be able to be rescued. I don’t have much else to say about this one.

Idk, that’s what I think. But that wraps up my second WHAT IF. I currently have one in the first book and one in the fourth, pls. Tell me what y’all think.
Thanks
