Four Crescent Moons - Chapter Eight

 

 ~ Chapter Eight ~


As he runs through the halls, Crescent turns a corner and stops, seeing a smirk on a snout he knows all too well. 

   'What is Dusk doing here?!'

 ~Dusk's POV~

    I'm standing inside of the infamous school, Jade Mountian Academy. Surprisingly, the dragons here don't seem at all like I imagined. They seem like a bunch of weak little idiots, aside from the large Mudwing I'm speaking to at the moment. Apparently, he's one of the dragonets of prophecy and one of the teachers here. He's not that much older than me either. "Have you been here before?" He asks. I chuckle, "No, I'm afraid I haven't. I think I'll manage though. Thanks Clay." He nods and smiles, "Well then if you need anything, come find me." I wave as I walk towards one of the nearby hallways and see something zip around the corner and down another hallway. I just roll my eyes and continue walking, "Dungbeetles." 


~Crescent's POV~

     'That was way too close!'

I continue back around to the entrance, making sure that Dusk wasn't behind me. I peek around the corner, but no one's there. Creeping over to the doorway, I walk through and feel the soothing warmth from the sunlight hit my scales. As I hear footsteps quickly making their way closer, I hesitantly turn around to see Skip and Aqua. "Hey Crescent!" Says Aqua. "Oh. H-Hey guys." He replies. "What are you doing out here?" Asks Skip, tilting his head slightly. Crescent glances behind them nervously, "N-Nothing much... Just taking a b-break from being inside." Aqua raises a brow, noticing his anxiety. "Are you alright? You can talk to us." Crescent sighs and shakes his head, looking down at the ground. There was a white flower he'd never seen before next to his claw. It looked like a tulip. Plucking it from its patch of grass between the stone, he tucks it in behind his ear. 'Maybe I could give this to Ash as an apology for running away.' 

 "I-" Just as Crescent was about to speak, Dusk walks through the doorway, signature smirk on his face as he eyes Crescent with a dark look.  "Hey Freak. Been a bit, hasn't it?" 

Hey guys. Sorry about the long wait. We've been busy about school and Covid, so we haven't had much time to post anything. BUT! We have been writing and preparing stuff for future posts, revising and fixing some of the stories we have so far. So, I'll try to post a longer chapter soon. Later! ^w^

Lake of Regrets by Nathaniel Krow

  There will be hard times, Depression and disaster, But listen to the wind chimes, And time will fly faster, We all need someone’s help, A comforting shoulder to cry on, Someone to hear our yelp, From the depths of our colorless pond. A lake where all our fears reside, A place where there is nowhere to hide, A chain, rope, a string that is tied, A place where we all have cried, The nightmares we have of the monsters we fear, The dark depictions and deaths of those so dear, Heartpounding terrors and Abandonment of Time, The loss of trust and knowledge of our crimes, Nothing will ever be easy, In this place of discord, This life of regret, But all we need is friends, lovers, A way to feel safe and push on.

Your Soul of Paradise by Nathaniel Krow

 It’s raining today, Hope you’re doing okay, In that friendly home of yours, Or that aura you carry where it never pours, The calming river you are, The flowers that never wither, Springtime sweetness and Sunshine smile, The heat from my heart pounding, running a mile, Leaves fall in the Autumn breeze, Cool shadows form as the clouds shed their tears, Gentle stream singing to the sky, As storms cry and I shiver in the cold, Winter’s stars and bright Moon, Dancing constellations calm my anxiety, Lullabies sung to me by the whispering wind, Rays of loving light soothing my pain, The seasons so fun with You, All singing about your caring smile and gentle eyes, This place I rest in, lost in thoughts about you, Your distinct scent and embrace bringing me here, To the Island of Paradise you are, A place where we never have to worry, About time or pain, Your light carries the darkness away, Embracing it in understanding, Turning hurt and stain, Into wind and rain, Where the scars of our p...
