Starwing

I couldn't believe it.  Of the 73 young in the dragon lands, I was the one who had been selected to go on Wingquest.  I had only one day to gather all my supplies, come up with a plan, and leave.  I realized, too late, that the gong had sounded and the Dragonmeet was over. 

Terrified, I rushed home, to find Mama and Papa waiting for me expectantly at the front door.  "Mama! Papa!," I burst out. "Help me! Help me!  How am I supposed to be prepared enough to find my wings with just one day?"

"Well, we've thought about it" said Mama gently, "and your father and I think you should go to Ancestor Wingstar for advice." 

"Of course you're right, Mama, you're always right.  But what should I bring?"

"Starwing, calm down.  You need to stop and think.  I always tell you you're rushing too much."  That's Mama for you. 

"I love you Mama. I love you Papa."  And with that, I rushed up to my room.
