Blossom glanced around her, looking for signs of trouble. You can never be too careful at night in the rainforest. She slithered through the trees and sat in a clearing, 5 minutes early.

Suddenly the leaves started rustling and a large black and green shape crashed through the bushes. It was that night hybrid from earlier.

Suddenly alert, she got into battle position and growled at her foe.

Seeing Blossom the night hybrid stopped, froze and suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Uh, hi. What are you doing here," she was choosing her words carefully, so not to agravate blossom.

 "It's none of your business, and I could ask you the same thing," she growled.

Then she saw the silver teardrop by the nightwings eye and froze.

Mind reader! Oh no, this can't be happening. She can probably hear me right now-

"Yes I can actually, my names Leaflight, sorry about this," she gestured to the land around her.

Leaflight, I like it. It has a nice ring to it. And she's going to jade academy, wonder why?

"You know what just take this," she puts a small glowing stone in the palm of her talon and then runs off.

1 MINUTE LATER

A small Sandwing slipped into the clearing.

"Blossom," he said bowing in acknowledgement.

"Aten," she nodded her head.

He hands her a small file, "This time it's another Sandwing, named Thisle. She's in jade mountain, so you'll have to go there. I want it smooth, sharp and silent."

"Silent is my favourite word,"Says Blossom sternly.

"Now go," he says changing his tone to deep and menacing.

He scurries off into the darkness.

Jade  mountain. And yet two days ago I swore never to go there. Oh well, it's just a job and then jade mountain will be done forever.
