Chapter Text
Prologue
Slipping quietly through the rainforest, SecretKeeper soon found the small burrow where her little dragonet Moonwatcher or as SecretKeeper nicknamed Moon was hidden.
As SecretKeeper walked over to the burrow, she peeked inside to see a small dragonet with purplish black scales, with hints of dark-blue and green and one teardrop-shaped scale on each side of her eyes.
Moon was curled up asleep which made SecretKeeper smile fondly as she watched her little dragonet sleep.
Moons sleep didn’t last long, as SecretKeeper watched as Moon slowly woke up and blinked a bit before looking up at SecretKeeper before smiling and chirped, “Mommy!” before dumpling up and hugging Secretkeeper who wrapped her wings around Moon.
“Hello my little Moon, I’ve missed you.” SecretKeeper whispered quietly, yet she knew Moon already knew what SecretKeeper was thinking.
SecretKeeper had quickly learned that Moon was a mind reader from the few times she was able to spend time with her little dragonet.
The thought of Moon being a mind reader had and still scared SecretKeeper but not by Moon herself but from what will happen if the Nightwing tribe discovers Moon and finds out she’s a mind reader.
Secretkeeper felt the familiar chill in her bones which happens every time she thinks about the nightwing tribe finding Moon but she was mainly scared of Morrowseerer finding Moon.
Even though Morrowseerer was Moons father, SecretKeeper knew Morrowseerer wouldn’t see that and would gladly use Moon to benefit the tribe in some twisted way.
SecretKeeper was snapped out of her thoughts by Moon making a few scared chirps with her wings twitching a bit.
SecretKeeper silently scolded herself for scaring her daughter before comforting Moon by humming a soft lullaby which made Moon yawn a bit.
As SecretKeeper continued humming, she noticed Moon grab reaching out for a small vine, seeming like she wanted to play with it.
SecretKeeper looked at the vine before grabbing it and giving it to Moon who started playing with it.
Moonwatchers POV
While playing with the vine, Moon heard her mommy mention something about the vine having flower buds before Moon saw a flash of some pretty purple flowers.
Moon looked at the vine in her talons while thinking of the flowers, and how she wanted to see them.
Moon chirped a bit, she wanted to see the flowers on the vine.
As she wished to see the flowers Moon was amazed as the same purple flowers bloom on the vine, this made Moon look up at her mommy expecting the same amazement but instead SecretKeeper looked horrified before flashes of the familiar dark scary place Moon always saw in her mommy’s mind.
Moon kept seeing more flashes of the big dragon in SecretKeepers mind, which made Moon want to hide under her mommy’s wing, as the dragon she kept seeing was scary and seemed mean.
Moon felt her mommy’s wings wrap around her tighter which made Moon feel safer before she soon drifted off to sleep.
SecretKeepers POV
SecretKeeper felt her blood run cold as she looked down at Moon who was asleep, still clutching the fully bloomed vine.
“This can’t be happening, this can’t be happening!” SecretKeeper thought, as she could somewhat handle Moonwatcher being able to read minds but her being an animus alongside that would just make Moonwatcher be in even more danger if the Nightwing tribe found her.
SecretKeeper took a deep breath, before thinking, “This is fine, maybe I can just make sure Moon doesn’t ever use her animus magic.
Looking down at her dragonet, SecretKeeper made a silent vow to never let the nightwing tribe ever discover Moonwatcher.
