Meteora's POV:

Over the past week, Kiki, the other recruits along with myself had our few days off, and I have to say; they've been the greatest days off that I ever had!~ Sure, the mornings have been a small version of nothing but a nightmare, but it's nice to do early morning runs with a friend!

But, after the first day of doing morning runs, I couldn't feel my legs all day, and I only did 8! Which is very bad... I guess I really have to boost up my stamina or else I'm in a heap of trouble... Sundown is when Kiki and I go to feed the dragons for the third time in the row each and every day. Alani and Boulderskin will always be by our sides, mostly Alani being with Kiki as she ate her fish while the other dragons kept their distance for now. I'm still wary about the Monstrous Nightmare because I know never to anger him or else I'll have to face the severe consequences.

However, every night, when the stars are out and the moon is shining down upon the island, is always the best one, because that's when I help the Night Fury! It brings me some relief and content that he's getting his strength back every night and that he's thanking me... Well, technically thanking me since he always thinks that it's a dragon that's helping him out. But that secret that it was me all along, I'll take that one, along with some secrets that I have, to my grave and up to Valhalla if I have to.

Tomorrow is gonna be another dragon lesson. Terron told me while I was in the Forge with him, helping him out with dented swords, repairing Spears, Axes, and etc. During that time, I have that weird feeling in the pit of my stomach that something is gonna go down tomorrow.... Don't know why, but I just do.

Now, I'm just drawing a bird that I saw earlier just sitting on her nest, protecting her little ones that are in their little eggs still before they're born into the world. I smiled softly at the sight before me. It must be nice to have a Mama.... Then I felt myself frowning, my thoughts were engulfing my surroundings and my vision of sight. I wish I knew my Mama... Now that I think about it... No one has ever told me what she was like, what she looked like, or anything about her...

There are times where I wish I knew something about her. Anything about her in fact. I sighed heavily and I watched the mother bird leave to get more sticks and other things to make her nest comfortable for her unborn babies.

I watched her fly away, that's when I felt that aching feeling in my chest as I saw her flying up into the sky and the wind carrying her lovely wings. When I looked at the sky... My surroundings came back and my vision became more clearer than ever... I don't know why everything around me gets better as I watch the early afternoon sky... But I don't care, it makes me feel good, minus that strange feeling that is etched into my heart. Yearning for something more than the world on the ground.

"Staring at the sky again I see, eh Meteora?" a voice interrupted my thoughts as I turned to see who it was. I smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of my head. "Heh... You caught me again in the act, Kiki."
