==Prologue==
POV: Queen Peregrine 
It was a rainy day. She remembered the sky turning gray and raindrops falling from the sky, dripping on a bush of crimson poppies. She was preparing to sleep quietly to have a good rest after giving birth to her little dragonet. The day was going to be like any normal day…
Until King Falcon trapped her into the dungeon. Forever.
She still remembered that terrifying smirk on his face, that sound of sinister laughter.
And even worse…he took her only egg.
She definitely knows what is going to happen now. 
Now he’s in power. She should’ve suspected this sooner, about the birth program. This evilly ambitious dragon.

==Part 1: A Deadly Blossom==
===Chapter 1===
POV: Poppy
Poppy watched everything happen, during her birth. She knew that Falcon was a lier while her mother Peregrine was trapped in the caverns. Falcon was darkly ambitious about the throne, and power to serve himself, saying females are “too sweet”, “more prone to details” and “never looks at the big picture”.
But she’s gonna flip everything back to order, it’s just a matter of time.
She remembered grabbing the old book, hidden deep within the library shelves, and running away from it for the sake of her life.
This, was a banned book of the Sky Kingdom. Inside, it’s about a collection of powerful females, that left great marks on the history pages of Pyrriha, and some others that were unknown to the public. She’s only heard of the forbidden book once, near the town of Prosperity, where it has too many dragons from too many tribes, and due to this, not really too much dragons to mange this bustling town. Thus, a huge cave of information that is unknown to most commoners. 
She opened the book.
The first page was a drawing of a scavenger, wearing blue, brown and white puffy fur on her body (she had to admit, it was pretty weird that a scavenger would be drawn on a book like this). On the side of it wrote “The Phoenix that fell from the skies too late.”. 
The other pages were all about her stories. And, surprisingly, the next pages were also about a scavenger, covered in more semi-transparent, floaty and colorful clothing. There was also a comment beside it: Dreams of dreams, Hilliah/Guichen.
And then, she quickly flipped all the pages. It was all about scavengers, not dragons…but anyways, she decided to keep the banned book, because who knows, what if there were useful information overflowing everywhere in the book but hidden so well that no ones noticed…yet.
She decided to camouflage the book and make it not suspicious looking with a silly, pre-made, very bad talon-drawn cover and some boring homework pages.
She puts it back into the cheap, wooden bookshelf.
“Princess, it’s time for your lessons.” Rose Beryl said. Beryl was the one and only good friend to her, despite being the only female “loyal guard of Falcon’s”. Falcon chose Beryl to serve her because she was the only one he can intrust to, but that was super dumb to think about. Not to mention, Rose Beryl was actually Peregine's older cousin. She didn't know how she knew it, but she simply knew it from a certain considence.
Didn’t he want me to suffer? So why bring such a good friend to me? But she’s been watching Beryl for such a long time, and she wouldn’t really believe that Beryl is seriously loyal to Falcon, reporting back suspicious movements of her.
Beryl sat down beside her, nudging her lightly, feeling the warmth of Beryl’s scales touch her own’s.
Beryl waited for a moment, ears twitching. She suddenly crouched down, signaling her to do the same.
They’re coming.

== Trivia ==
* In this fanfic, Firestorm is depicted as the goddess of poppy flowers, as poppy flowers (at least in China) has some connections with poison (you guys know it, the seeds), which I sorta think fits the character(?).
* The two scavengers mentioned in Chapter 1 both comes from Ancient Chinese Novels: the first one is Xifeng Wang (also has some connections with poppy flowers)from Dream of the Red Chambers, the second one is Xiaoshan/Guichen Tang (goddess of a hundred flowers, good leader) from Jing Hua Yuan.
