== Prologue ==
Scorch groaned under the weight of the stones. Ever since these stupid humans had captured his egg some 8 years ago, (he reckoned, the stone chambers had no sun) it had been nothing but work and sweat and- by the three moons, if they asked him to use his fire one more time he'll eat one of them for dinner.
The foreman did his signal and work was stopped. "A break, finally," muttered Scorch. He went over to the shallow pit where livestock was kept for the dragons and grabbed a sheep.
"Hey, you," a voice said above him. Scorch looked and saw a beautiful RainWing. "SkyWing" she said, "I'm Python. You?" She extends a talon
" Uh- Scorch." Scorch replied, shaking her talon. "What do you want?"
" I need out. I want to go to the rainforest, get some sun, maybe eat some of these humans." Python said. "I want the foreman's specifical," she muttered.
Scorch laughed, causing the guards to shout something at him. They brandished their swords and spears.

Scorch and Python's discussion had been happening all over the continent. The idea of a revolution of the worker class, rising up under the terrible working conditions, and seizing the means of production was spreading like wildfire. The humans got work of this, and one specifically decided to do something about it- Cottonmouth
Cottonmouth ruled one of the three empires of Phyrria, and his capital was situated on Borderland Mountain, where he ruled with an iron fist. He decided to issue a decree, that dragons were banished from the kingdom and were to be executed on sight.
Scorch and Python escaped from the mountains where they were held captive in the Cottonmouth Empire and fled to the Jaguar Empire, in the rainforest. Many refugee dragons soon joined them there...
== Chapter 1: The Enmity ==
Talon ran through the streets of the makeshift town, trying to grab mangoes from the vendors for dinner. Ever since that king or whatever had kicked him and his family out of the realm, they had been living here, in a town named Vengeance. 
Its leaders, Scorch and Python, spoke almost nightly about how they needed to start some revolution on the continent and some other B.S. He was more concerned with just surviving with his parents.
A trumpet sounds from the town square. Another meeting, more speeches... he thought to himself. He begrudgingly put the mangoes in his sack and joined the masses in the center of the town. There they were, the two dragons who started the town: Scorch and Python.
"Dragons of Vengeance," Python began, "I call you here before us to call upon your aid."
Murmurs throughout the crowd revealed a surprised atmosphere. Our aid? What can we do?
Scorch clears his throat. "We have been coordinating with other establishments like this in the Jaguar and Diamond Kingdoms. Now, we believe there is only one solution to the problems we have with humans: their extermination."
Extermination! Talon couldn't believe his ears. Wiping out the humans!? 
The crowd grew into an uproar of discussion. Many supported the idea, though some thought it was to dangerous.
"I understand this is controversial" Python cried, "but hear us out, like you always have." The crowd dies down. "The treatment of us is no better than donkeys or cows. In the Diamond and Steel kingdoms, they are using us dragons as weapons. They are at war right now, but if can convince enough dragons to join us, we can use this to our advantage."
"Of course it won't be easy," Scorch said. "But we are almost assured victory over those puny humans. Think of the lands that would be ours, food for our stomachs, and homes for our families."
The speech that night reverberated through the hearts and minds of dragons in Vengeance, and soon across the continent. A team of MudWings, tired of their conditions, threw their loads down and a full blown revolt in the Jaguar Kingdom began. IceWings in the Diamond Kingdom began to engage in skirmishes with patrolling soliders.
Cottonmouth saw the sands of time changing, and hearing word of the location of Vengeance, he marches there with an army, determined to exterminate this resistance to the rightful human lordship of the continent.
The Jaguar Kingdom took this army as an invasion of their rainforest to be an act of war and their king, Anaconda the Third road out to meet this invading army
