School for the Special Ep. 3

Kraken felt like the welcome speech lasted forever. Jungle- the Night-RainWing who was sitting next to her- continued to talk throughout the hour, as though she was trying to drown out Kraken's thoughts.

I wonder what it's like hearing everybody's thoughts, Kraken wonder. ''Does it ever annoy her? Oooh, I bet she could make a lot of money off of blackmail with her powers.''

Jungle gave her a strange look after that thought.

Once the speech was over, all the students were sent to the main bulletin board to see what winglet they were assigned too. Jungle stayed next to Kraken the whole time- as though she was trying to avoid someone. Could it be that Jungle had an enemy here?

"Not exactly." Jungle answered her thoughts. "Just this NightWing named Powerful who used to tease me back at the Rainforest for being a hyrbid. He's a seer, so his parents sent him here with me." she shivered. "I hope I'm not in a winglet with him."

Kraken shook her head. "You can't be. Only one seer, animus, and Special scaled per winglet."

"Oh." Jungle blushed.

"Why don't your scales change?" Kraken asked curiously. "Wouldn't you keep that RainWing trait?"

"Normally." Jungle said. "But I'm apparently a 'special case', according to the RainWing healers. I can only change the color of my talons." she held out an arm and it turned bright blue. "I was also teased for that," she said, a little sadly.

"I'm sorry." Kraken said, and she meant it. Then, she had the thought that her and Jungle were going to be very, very good friends.

Jungle's talons turns pink, and she smiled.
