Everyone knows the story of how the dragonets of destiny caused a commotion when glory ruined Queen Scarlet's face. They then escaped with Pyrrhia and... well... fulfilled their destiny. And not once did Scarlet ever get to lay a talon on them again. Ruby later fought Scarlet and killed her, winning the Skywing throne. But what if everything went... 'thrillingly'. This is a tragic AU about Scarlet getting just what she wants.
Queen Scarlet:
Scarlet was in Jade Mountain, capturing her prize. Or rather, five prizes. How DARE they try to steal my treasure, and then attack me when I tried to invite them home, Scarlet thought furiously as she snapped the neck of the SandWing trying to defend the dragonets. her guards grabbed the dragonets and carried them all to the sky kingdom. "And i want her too." She said pointing at the SkyWing she recognized as Kestrel she returned to the palace, she watched peril battle a SandWing. Scarlets eyes gleamed in annoyance as the prisoner was killed quite BORINGLY, quite unthrillingly. Scarlet was in a mood now. She had just got her claws on THE prophecy dragonets, and she wasn’t about to let her excitement be ruined. she hissed in frustration, ordering peril to her room. when the guards presented the dragonets, she had wondered why there was no SkyWing. "a RainWing? how curious. I’ve never had one before." She had said. she displayed the dragonet on a colorful art tree. "What about the rest." The guard had asked. "Take that weird barbless SandWing and lock her in a cage for burn. as for the rest, lock them up on the prisoner towers. and be careful with them! especially my NightWing" scarlet had ordered. her hatching day was soon, and scarlet wanted to enjoy it
glory:
Glory woke up and found herself a piece of art. well, that’s fantastic, she thought sarcastically. what was that warm feeling? the sun, she could lay there all day. no! she couldn’t be a lazy RainWing. not when her friends were in danger. where were they! she slightly opened her eyes, trying to pretend to be asleep, and there on one of the towers surrounding the arena, she saw clay. he was talking to the murderous skywing that had just killed a sandwing. with ease! She set it on fire with her touch. but how? Glory looked around and soon spotted Tsunami. As she suspected, the guards had to put up the most fight to get her up there, and she knew Tsunami wouldn’t make it easy on them if they came near her again. a few more towers down she saw Starflight. As she continued searching every tower, she saw many sandwings, but none she knew. where was sunny! fear bubbled in her scales as the little sandwing was nowhere to be seen. "Queen scarlet." A guard bowed. "Yes?" Scarlet hissed. "Burn is coming soon." he said. "How thrilling! get the little runt prepared for her." She said.
Sunny: Sunny didn’t know what to do as the guards grabbed ahold of her and took her to the sky palace. "Take that weird barbless sandwing and lock her in a cage for burn." Queen scarlet ordered. "Hey! I’m not weird-" She protested. but Sunny was locked in a cage, hanging over a room that looked as if parties were held here. at least were still alive for now, Sunny tried to stay positive. she paced back and forth in the cage, wondering how any dragon could treat someone like an animal! it was terrible. Even worse, scarlet wanted to give her to burn! what was burn going to do to her? would it be worse than anything Scarlet was doing to her friends? Sunny laid down, shivering. she had to stay hopeful. For Pyrriah, for her friends. they had to live. it was impossible for them to die! they were in a prophecy. that means it had to come true, right? she started to wonder if they had made a mistake escaping the mountain. or perhaps it was just a bad dream. maybe shed wake up curled up with clay in the sleeping caves. Sunny tried to keep her mind on that, rather than the thought that they might die.
Burn:
a few days later, she arrived at the skywing palace. her annoying ally that overused the word, 'thrilling'. well, i will 'thrillingly' punch you in the face if you don’t stop, Burn would think. today, she was in a gruesome mood, but also in a prophecy dragonet killing mood. a mood of killing them QUICKER! burn despised the prophecy! no dragonet was going to tell her who lives and who dies. But no, Scarlet HAD to show off and screw everything up as usual. she wanted to put the dragonets in the arena and make everyone love them rather than presenting them as dead, and FAILED, dragonets. imagine what it could’ve been. the dragonets of destiny, dead, the prophecy declared fake, the nightwings lose their honor, and I become Queen Burn. who said a prophecy is needed for that. "i want the Seawing to fight first!" Scarlet hissed. Burn watched with boredom as Tsunami dodged attacks. kill the stupid dragonet, you stupid Seawing, she thought towards the mad Seawing. but instead, tsunami snapped his neck, giving scarlet a harsh look. the crowd cheered. "You idiot! the crowd loves her!" Burn hissed angrily. "Don’t worry, i have a plan." Scarlet hissed. "i have more prisoners y'know." Scarlet made a signal to the guards. Burn rolled her eyes. The guards grabbed Starflight and dropped him into the arena.
scarlet: Scarlet was furious as Tsunami snapped the Seawings neck. At least that served him right. he was the Seawing who refused to fight. no one disobeyed the queen. NO ONE! she had taken away his water, driving him mad. And still, Tsunami killed him! how about another surprise instead, she thought. "You idiot! the crowd loves her!" Burn growled as the crowd cheered for the prophecy dragonet. "Don’t worry, i have a plan." scarlet growled back. she signaled for the guards to take Starflight down. "Hahahaha this should be thrilling. two prophecy dragonets forced to kill each other!" She turned to burn only to find boredom in her eyes. "You’ll see." She hissed. Tsunami and Starflight stood still, facing each other for a minute. were they studying each other for weakness? They just stood there. Scarlet glared at the crowd, and they instantly took act. "Kill him kill him!" The crowd chanted. "Read her mind Nightwing!" "Snap his neck!" "Use your future powers!" "More blood!" Scarlet smirked as the crowd rallied up. Tsunami and Starflight walked towards each other. "This is it." She said. Expecting an attack, Scarlet prepared for a fight. she wanted the Nightwing to use his powers! But instead, Tsunami and Starflight affectionately nudged each other. "awwwww" The crowd said. Burn gave her a "i told you” Look, and Scarlet ignored her. "Then we'll MAKE them fight. you, release our new scavengers!" she said.
Glory:
Glory watched as Tsunami and Starflight rounded up on each other, horrified, they wouldn’t really fight each other, right? Starflight would never, could never, hurt anyone. She was relieved when instead, they brushed their heads against each other. "awwwww" The crowd said. burn and scarlet were chatting angrily, throwing insults at each other. "Then we'll MAKE them right. you, release our new scavengers!" She ordered a guard. oh no, the creatures who killed oasis, Glory thought. the scavengers cornered Starflight. Tsunami and Starflight worked together, fending off the scavengers. he accidentally slammed one into the wall. She could tell he really did not want to fight. She hoped their fighter Tsunami would protect him. "RRRGH IM GOING TO HAVE THIS GO RIGHT TODAY!" scarlet growled. "Fortunately, we have a massive amount of icewing prisoners from the battle." Scarlet said. she turned to the guard, her eyes gleaming. the guard nodded, getting the signal, and brought the Icewings into the arena. unfortunately, the main cause of the event that scarlet gets what she wants, is the fact that Morrowseer never comes to save poor Starflight. The nightwings fly overhead, and they all see them. Glory, in her mind, begs Morrowseer to help them, but instead, thinking the dragonets useless and pathetic, he leaves thinking Starflight should be able to win by himself. their opportunity to escape was gone.
Starflight:
Starflight watched in astonishment and horror as the nightwings, his own tribe, left him to die in the arena. his own tribe! Morrowseer told him that they couldn’t afford to lose any dragonets. He must’ve thought i was pathetic. not a true Nightwing, thought starflight bitterly. the Icewings surrounded them, lashing their icicle-spiked tails. Starflight might have to put up a fight. he didn’t want to kill anyone. he was no killer. was that what Morrowseer would’ve wanted him to be? wasn’t peace what the dragonets were about? but... the prophecy. they couldn’t die, right? an Icewing leapt at starflight and clamped his teeth into his wing. Starflight howled in pain. the crowd cheered, "slash the Icewings throat!" "Kill the Nightwing!" "Stomp on the Icewings tail, seawing". Tsunami rammed into the Icewing, pushing him out of the way. "Tsunami... we can’t kill them." He pleaded. "We have no choice. its them or us." Tsunami said. she bit into an Icewings throat, killing it. Starflight tried not to gasp at the sight of Tsunami killing dragons, but he knew they had no choice. Tsunami was right. he dodged frost breath and claws and spiky tails as he threw claw attacks to the Icewings. he didn’t want to hurt them too badly, just enough to satisfy scarlet and the crowds thirst for blood. he feared that she wasn’t going to let them stop until they killed every last one. he knew Tsunami would. an Icewing slashed at him and knocked him over. The Icewing blasted frost breath at Tsunami as she desperately tried to help Starflight. "Starflight!" She shouted. She gave Scarlet a look of pure fury and hatred. he turned to see clay on one of the towers. clay was pleading for peril to save him, but peril refused. "I'm going to kill that fire scales!" Tsunami hissed. Peril shot her a "I’d like to see you try" look and tsunami lashed her tail. she clamped her teeth as hard as she could into the Icewings tail. the Icewing yowled and dug his claws into Starflights underbelly. Starflight yowled in pain as blood started pouring from his wounds. Tsunami rapidly slashed at the Icewings side and then leapt at him, knocking him over. he struggled to stand up as blood spilled from his wounds and his mouth. an Icewing leaped out from behind him and knocked him down. Starflight refused to kill. he refused! he'd never forgive himself if he did. instead he tried to kick the Icewing off, slashing his claws at its underbelly. Tsunami was busy, cornered by two Icewings. the Icewings wouldn’t let tsunami through. "Tell Sunny i love her... if you ever see her again." he called to her. Starflights weak attempts to kick the Icewing off did nothing, and the Icewing clamped its teeth into his throat. Starflight struggled and writhed around trying to get free, but the Icewing had a good grip. the Icewing scrapped deep wounds into his underbelly, and his blood covered the ground. Starflight was starting to feel lightheaded as too much blood was spilling from his wounds. he breathed fire at the Icewing, making it jump off him. "Use your powers Nightwing!" The crowd taunted. the crowd cheered as the Icewing continued to rip the scales off of Starflight. Tsunami was screaming with pure rage and rapidly attacking the icewings trying to get to Starflight. He reached out for Tsunami, but he began to feel drowsy. I'm about to die here in an arena, without sunny, he thought bitterly. the last thing he saw was scarlets smug cruel face and Tsunamis scream before the world faded to black.
Glory:
Glory watched in horror as Starflight struggled to battle the Icewing. he wasn’t going to kill them! her scales turned a mix of blue, red, yellow green and all sorts of worried colors. she didn’t want to watch, but she couldn’t take her eyes away as blood poured from her friends, her brothers, wounds. Tsunami was writhing with two Icewings, unable to help Starflight. This was Glory’s time to do something. should she attack burn or scarlet. but there were guards in the way. would she hit the guards instead? maybe she needed too. maybe it didn’t matter who she hit. He was snapped out of thought when she heard a furious roar from Tsunami. she turned towards the battle to see Starflight limping across the battle before collapsing in a pool of blood. "STARFLIGHT NO!" tears bubbled in her eyes as Glory leaped up, her scales turning various colors of pure red with small specks of blue. she was ready to wipe that stupid smug face off of scarlet. but before she could shoot her venom, her shout had alerted the guards and they grabbed her, clamping a piece of metal around her snout. they put more chains on the tree. Glory writhed furiously struggling more than ever possible, trying to get out. Scarlet smirked at glory. "Such a feisty, fighting spirit. maybe one day if i get bored again ill have you fight in the arena. the first Rainwing fighter" Scarlet smiled. Glory glared deep into Scarlets eyes. "you’ll pay for this scarlet" Her voice was muffled by the metal around her snout.
Tsunami: Tsunami was angry. in fact, she was furious. more furious than ever before. she never thought she’d be so furious over starflight, but she was indeed furious. she was in full rage mode, ready to make certain dragons pay. "Finish them off, seawing!" Scarlet shouted. Tsunami shouted with rage and killed both the icewings in a single blow. The last icewing, the one that killed starflight, tried to run. Tsunami leapt at him and pinned him to the ground, clamping her teeth deep into his neck like he did to starflight. she scraped and kicked at his underbelly and gripped her claws on his neck trying to snap it. she gripped the icewing with her full force until the icewing lay limp. Tsunami trudged over to the balcony, planning on attempting to climb the walls and break the skywing queens neck. Before she could do anything, she could heard Scarlet say, "That’s enough excitement for today." and four guards came into the arena with spears. Tsunami hissed and slashed one of the guards. the guards shrieked as Tsunami whipped around biting and slashing. She killed one of the guards and aimed for another. "Grab that seawing already!" Scarlet shouted. The guards grabbed Tsunami and carried her to one of the towers. It took a long time and they had to put extra chains on Tsunami. She sat there and glared into Scarlets eyes the rest of the time. "See, now wasn’t that THRILLING!" she asked burn. "The seawing is still alive." Burn pointed out. "SO?" Scarlet hissed. "Look, their starting to doubt the prophecy." Scarlet gestured to the crowd. And scarlet was right. The crowd was whispering and murmuring. "The nightwing is dead. the prophecy dragonet!" "But i thought they COULDNT die" "WERE DOOMED. the war will rage on forever" "never believed in the prophecy in the first place" "maybe it was all fake in the first place." Tsunami was losing hope as well. the prophecy was impossible to fulfill without starflight. all she could do was sit here and wait.
clay: Clay was terrified. He felt as if a hole was being carved in his soul as Starflight collapsed on the arena sands, dead. He hoped Sunny wasn’t watching. He didn’t want her to have to watch this terrible moment. This was all clays fault wasn’t it. he should’ve tried harder to escape. he should’ve FOUGHT harder. he should’ve fought from the beginning. Guilt and sadness outweighed all his anger. "Hey" Peril said, dropping another burnt rabbit at his side. he ignored it. "I...I'm very sorry." Peril said. Clay said nothing. "I... I'll just go then-" "No, stay." Clay interrupted. He caught Tsunami giving Peril a hard cold stare like daggers piercing her soul. "peril" Clay said through tears. "Have you seen a golden dragon with no tail barb." Clay asked. Yes. Scarlets going to give her to burn as a gift on her hatching day." Peril said. "If you really saw her, her names Sunny, can you tell her what just happened? and tell her if i don’t make it... I love her. We all do. she’s my little sister. And starflight loved her." Clay said. "I’ll see what i can do." Peril said.
Sunny:
Sunny could hear screams of fury echoing from the arena. Her heart was racing in panic. she could’ve SWORN those screams came from Tsunami. Were her friends in danger? She tried desperately to escape the cage, but she was too weak. "Tsunami!" She tried to scream, but no one heard her. "Were. the dragonets. of destiny." She told herself, slamming into the side of the cage. "We. CANNOT. DIE!" Tears started forming in her eyes as her hope started to drain. She couldn’t lose hope. for Pyrriah. Little did Sunny know what everything was worse than she thought. later, a bright red flaming skywing came into the room. "Your sunny, right?" the skywing asked. Sunny stared at the skywing, wondering how she knew her name. the skywing took that as a yes, because she started talking again. "My names Peril, I'm a friend of clay. Clay wanted you to know what’s just happened." Peril said. Sunny sat up, her eyes wide. "he told me to tell you that he and his friends love you. and... Starflight. loves you." Peril said. "T-t-t-that’s it?" Sunny asked. "Scarlet sent your little nightwing in with a feisty seawing in the arena with a bunch of icewings, and your nightwing... didn’t make it." She said. Sunny teared up, her hope for the prophecy draining further. "No... he can’t be." Sunny said. she closed her eyes and put her forehead on the bars of the cage, sobbing. "I... I'm sorry. for everything." Peril said. She slowly walked back out of the room leaving Sunny to mourn. All she could think of was Starflight, and her friends taunting her. "Sunny, you have too much hope in the prophecy" "Sunny you’re so adorable" "We don’t need a prophecy" sunny shrieked, trying to clear her head. she sighed, dropping to the floor in a heap of hopelessness. She planned on laying there until Burn comes to get her.
Clay:
That night when he attempted to play the dragonets of destiny theme on his broken metal cuffs, very few dragons sung back. some solemnly, and some in hope that the prophecy may still be fulfilled with the nightwing dead and a rainwing instead of a skywing. the guards quickly hushed them, and silence fell over the prisoners like lost hope. he hummed the song quietly too himself until he fell asleep. it was the next day that she told clay what had happened with sunny. "Poor sunny." clay sighed. "Thank you peril, i guess." Clay said. Despite the 'i guess', peril smiled happily. she’d probably never been thanked before. "oh, um... could you maybe do me a small favor?" she asked. "yes?" clay asked. "could you spread your wings and let me hide behind you in a couple minuets. i want to see the prisoner trial. "sure." he said, not bothering to ask questions. Later that day, he did what peril asked. Queen Scarlet had a prisoner chained up outside. Kestrel! Clay stared at the prisoner, wondering what she’d done wrong. joining the talons is peace is probably considered treason, Clay thought. a dragon named osprey was defending the prisoner, and apparently said too much. he talked about how Kestrel did what she was told killing some dragonet and leaving the other alive. this astonished clay. Kestrel had dragonets? and if she did, she really hated them enough to kill them? Peril stepped up demanding answers. Scarlet was furious that peril snuck in. Peril talked about setting up the "champions shield." "where did you learn that!" demanded scarlet. she turned to osprey and grabbed him. she threw him off the cliff. "NO!" peril shouted, darting after him. but it was too late, and she couldn’t touch him without burning him. Clay watched sadly with empathy as Osprey landed on the ground with a crack. Later that day, unexpectedly, the guards grabbed him. clay shouted and writhed trying to get out of the guards grip. He fought, like he should’ve last time. he was dropped in the arena grounds. "here before you is the so called mudwing 'dragonet of destiny!" announced Scarlet. "so much for destiny, their nightwing is dead. without the nightwing, failure is inevitable. and here is your proof. the fight of the Champions Shield, Peril versus Clay of the mudwings!"
Tsunami:
Tsunami was furious. it was a death sentence! clay was going to be forced to fight that... that... that monster! she roared as loud as she could. "YOU WONT GET AWAY WITH THIS YOU STUPID FLAME LICKING MONSTER! DONT YOU DARE HURT CLAY! ILL FLAY YOU!" Tsunami shouted. Peril sighed as she walked out. "I’m sorry clay. I have no choice. I hope you’ll forgive me." she closed her eyes. "i have to save my mother." Peril said. Tsunami would NEVER forgive her. Soft hearted clay would forgive anyone. even a flaming demon trying to kill him. "please just, make it a fair fight." peril said. peril braced herself and let clay attack her first. clay pinned her down trying to convince her that she didn’t have to fight. this fight lasted a long time. maybe an hour. the crowd gasped as peril, for once, was bleeding from her wounds. clay wasn’t effected by her firescales. Tsunami was amazed. "GO CLAY!" she shouted. unfortunately, he was bleeding as well. his wounds were steaming from perils fire.
Glory:
No no no not clay, please not clay, glory prayed to the three moons. she was horrified as she was once again forced to watch her friend die in scarlets cruel arena. her scales turned all sorts of different colors again. And this fight was all for Kestrel. the dragon who tried to kill her, the dragon who was really mean to clay and the others. And Clay was trying not to kill Peril. That’s exactly what got Starflight killed. peril shrieked as clay bit into her tail. Clay might actually win! the crowd was cheering for clay. the WHOLE crowd. "Do something!" demanded burn. scarlet turned to the guard, who nodded and released a few prisoners. a sandwing, a mudwing, and two seawings. the mudwing leapt at clay, and one of the seawings ran away. the other seawing and the sandwing were battling each other. "You don’t have to fight!" clay shouted. "there’s a small possibility for hope." "that’s not enough." said the mudwing. "he’s right!" Tsunami yelled. "rise prisoners!" Tsunami started shouting the dragonets of destiny theme. the prisoners joined in, including the mudwing. "ENOUGH!" Scarlet shouted. she landed in the arena and killed the mudwing with a swipe of a claw. all the prisoners fell silent. "the only reason your still alive seawing, is because i have thrilling plans for you." she hissed at Tsunami. the sandwing killed the seawing that it was battling and leapt at clay. the other seawing attempted to throw attacks at peril, but only succeeded at setting his claw on fire. peril leapt at him and pinned him to the ground until the seawing turned to ashes. she turned to help clay battle the sandwing. the sandwing had clay pinned under its claws. Glory stared horrified as the sandwing plunged its stinger into clays chest. clay shrieked and kicked the sandwing off of him, sending the sandwing barreling into peril. the sandwing too turned to ash. peril looked at clay, tears forming in her eyes. "well? what are you waiting for? kill him! he'll never love you peril. You’re a monster." scarlet tried to fuel her flames. peril squeezed her eyes shup and pinned clay to the ground. she sank her clays into his throat and dug all the way down into his underbelly. blood bubbled from his wounds just like starflights.
clay:
Clay was in severe pain. in a way, he felt sorry for peril, and in his soul he forgave her. she was doing him a favor. maybe he'd see starflight again if there was such thing as the afterlife. whatever happened, peril was ridding him of his pain. he couldn’t help but whisper "thank you" into perils ear. "fight me, please. it’ll make it easier for me." peril said. Clay did fight her, but he didn’t fight to kill. he tried to kick peril off of him, but every movement caused more of his blood to gush out. "Fight for your life, Tsunami! and keep fighting!" he called to Tsunami. "save sunny, wherever she is!" He said. Scarlet barked a laugh. "Sunny is perfectly safe with burn. she’s going to take her to her stronghold to stuff her and put her on display." Scarlet smirked. Tsunami turned away, tears in her eyes. "This must be the end." She said. "Even if it’s the end," Clay called to her, "Try to live life as long as possible." True, this was the end of the dragonets of destiny. the end of Pyrriah, but they should still try. Try to make a difference. Protest against killing even if it costed their lives. clay spun and slashed a claw at perils wing. Peril howled in pain with each blow clay delivered. she was in shock, but determined to save her mother. she pinned him down and tore at his underbelly skin. clay was in extreme pain, but couldn’t help smiling at the thought that he was about to see starflight again. "Goodbye, sunny" Clay whispered to himself. The world around him started to become fuzzy. blood was pouring from his mouth and all his wounds. he heard the crowd cheering for him as the world went black.
Scarlet:
Scarlet watched with amusement as Tsunami watched in horror as clay was torn apart, his guts spilling onto the sand. and peril was crying! why was she crying for some stupid mudwing. though it was a thrilling battle that got everyone pepped up and made everyone believe less in the prophecy, she was still angry. she was NOT about to release Kestrel. "now what. you can’t just let the skywing live." burn hissed. "I have a plan" scarlet whispered. she stepped up. "down with the prophecy!" called Vermillion. the crowd started shouting with vermillion. "vermillion clean up that mess." scarlet said. vermillion picked up clay and carried his body out of the arena. "The prophecy has failed. only one true prophecy dragonet is left alive." she said. "and she will fight to the death in the arena. as for peril, you held up your end of the deal. i will send Kestrel free, but you are NOT to speak to her or go looking for her. and Kestrel is banished from the sky kingdom!" Scarlet announced. Peril turned away, guilt was in her expression. Scarlet scoffed. "some champion i have." She said. And she lied. she was NOT going to release Kestrel. "Can i at least tell her goodbye?" Peril asked. Scarlet thought a minuet. saying no may arouse suspicion, and it’s not like it mattered anyways since this was the last time Peril would ever see her. This would probably also put Peril in a better mood to make her behave. "yes of course my darling." she said, pouring honey into her voice. she normally preferred a public execution. Perhaps if she sent Peril away, and made sure she was gone, and then publicly executed her. no one would tell Peril if she made them keep their mouths shut. that was a plan. "it’s time to go eat your black rocks, so make it quick." Scarlet said. she flew off the balcony and took Peril to see the traitor. it was long and boring and too emotional, Scarlet was going to throw up. "all right that’s enough now. go back to your room and eat. you could start to feel sick any minute now." Scarlet said. :you two, follow her and make sure she stays in her room. if you fail ill publicly execute you! GO!" she ordered two guards. they rushed after Peril. it was a few minutes later that Scarlet dragged the traitor to the balcony. "today, on my hatching day, is the execution of the traitor, Kestrel. If anyone tells peril about this, it will be considered treason and i swear ill mount your heads on pikes." she hissed.
Kestrel:
"I knew it was a lie" she hissed. and it was true. Kestrel knew from the moment peril told her goodbye and that Kestrel was being set free, it was a trick. "but the champions shield!" shouted one of the dragons in the crowd. "and i am your queen." Scarlet hissed back. "Do what you have to." Kestrel growled. they failed with the skywing, and they failed to keep the dragonets safe. she slightly regretted planning on killing glory. the dragonets might’ve been safe if she didn’t. Or maybe the rainwing was the cause of it. a bad omen. either way she failed her job to protect the prophecy dragonets, and her own dragonets. this might be what she deserves. "For treason and disobedience against the throne, and for running off to raise these annoying so-called dragonets of destiny" scarlet let out a laugh. "i bet you if anything the prophecy is made up." she smirked. "BOOO! Traitor!" Vermillion shouted. "BOOO!" The crowd shouted back. Kestrel didn’t try to defend herself. Scarlet grabbed kestrel by the throat. "I, Queen Scarlet of the Skywings, hereby execute this traitor!" Scarlet shouted. she slashed Kestrels throat, and Kestrel shrieked through the muzzle cuffs. blood bubbled from her wounds. Scarlet slashed at Kestrels neck and underbelly. "I intend to make you suffer!" hissed Scarlet. she slammed Kestrel to the ground. she grabbed her head and smashed it against the ground. Kestrel moaned in deep pain as Scarlet dug her claws in her neck and scraped them down, causing deep wounds. She planted a claw on Kestrels neck, and with a crack, she felt the world snap like her neck.
Burn:
"Now THATS how you get this done." Scarlet chuckled. She dropped the body to the ground. "Vermillion, get rid of the body. somewhere out of the sky kingdom. somewhere unpleasant where no one would ever find her. a traitors grave." she hissed. "so what now." Demanded Burn. "You should be getting back home with your new present shouldn’t you?" Scarlet asked. "I suppose it is. but you BETTER take care of the last dragonet." She said. "Not that one living dragonet of destiny matters. no one would believe her. shed be just an ordinary, worthless seawing." Scarlet smirked. Tsunami glared at her from the tower. Burn gave Scarlet one last cold stare before she took her two sandwing guards, who escorted her to some kind of party room. there, her prize hung in a bird cage. "You two will carry it back home. and don’t you drop it or lose it or YOUR going to be the ones I’m going to stuff and put on display." she threatened her guards. They obeyed and grabbed the cage. Burn and all the sandwings that came with her flew back to the stronghold. "Where are my friends!" Sunny demanded. "Shut up weird sandwing." Burn hissed. she opened the cage and the guards placed chains on her.
Sunny:
"WHERE ARE THEY!" She demanded even louder. It didn’t really matter how angry she made her since she was going to die anyway. she just wanted to die knowing her friends were safe. that’s all she wanted now. "Tell me my friends are safe and ill shut up." She said. Burn made a cruel smirk and barked a laugh. "The prophecy is no more. Your nightwing was killed by an icewing, and that mudwing, HAHAHA! He was killed by that skywing. Scarlets stupid pet she should’ve killed. But she HAS to keep everything. Scarlet is about to make Tsunami fight one dragon of each tribe. except of course the rainwing and nightwing." She said. Tears bubbled in Sunny’s eyes, and she felt her soul melting. "Wish you hadn’t asked?" Burn sneered. "no..." Sunny struggled to say. All her friends, dead. All of them. It was the end of the prophecy. the end of Pyrriah. Or so Sunny thought. Little did she know what Morrowseer had planned. "Why don't you spend a few days in the weirdling tower." Burn said. She was going to enjoy seeing this little pest suffer every day until her soul chipped down to pieces. "And here, mounted on my wall, we have the famous 'dragonet of destiny' with a weird tail." She imagined saying to a crowd. The guards took sunny into the tower, and days after that, Burn visited Scarlet every couple of days to check in with the prophecy dragonets.
Morrowseer:
Morrowseer was standing on a cliffside next to Blister. They had called Webs to meet with them. "So, what do you want." Webs asked. "My nightwing is dead, and so is our mudwing, and probably our scrap of a sandwing. I don’t even care what happens to the rainwing. The seawing won’t come back to us either, so she doesn’t matter to me." Morrowseer said. "You flew over there. You could’ve saved them." Said Webs. "True nightwings can fight for themselves. plus, the opportunity to get rid of the rainwing and the annoying seawing was too good to be true. it’s you were worried about. you let the dragonets of destiny be captured. And, both Kestrel and Dune are dead. you failed us." Morrowseer said. "Youve waisted our time, seawing." Blister hissed. She grabbed webs by the neck. "This will teach you to fight harder next time." She hissed. She stabbed her tail through Web's chest, and webs suffered the death that Kestrel was originally meant to. Webs was dropped down the cliff. "The job is done." Morrowseer said. "Now what." Asked Blister. "Your plan has failed. how are we going to take over the sandwing throne." Blister demanded. "I have a backup plan. We declare the prophecy dragonets a fake. everyone believes us, and besides. They can’t NOT believe us when they watched two of them die, and they saw a rainwing instead of a skywing. we frame them to be imposters, and bring out... the backup dragonets." Morrowseer said. "ah, and what about everything they’ve already done. they’ve accused a lot of commotion in the sky kingdom. how do you know everyone WILL believe you." Burn asked. "Ah, sometimes to get what we want, it requires a few... Sacrifices." Morrowseer said. "Ah, well, get too it then. I want my throne I worked hard to get and very much deserve." Burn said. And with that, the two dragons departed. It was unfortunate, some of the backup dragonets weren’t very bright. the mudwing for example, does nothing but eat. This was a sacrifice. a big sacrifice indeed.
Tsunami:
Ever since Burn took sunny. She had been worried. Was she still alive? could she still escape? Would she even attempt to? Tsunami had spent every day on that tower, getting thinner and thinner. she only had one fish to eat a day. she assumed Scarlet didn’t care if her prisoners died, but she would probably keep Tsunami alive to keep a dragonet of destiny to keep the crowd entertained. If she was being honest, she didn’t even think of herself as a dragonet of destiny anymore. Just a random worthless seawing orphan. As suddenly as she'd thought, a guard came towards her and brought her down into the arena. They quickly ran away as soon as they took some of her chains off. yes, you better run, she thought. "Here," scarlet announced, "We have the last Dragonet of Destiny. I hardly count this non-skywing of a rainwing a Dragonet of Destiny." Scarlet let out a scoff. Glory’s scales turned red, and she glared at Scarlet. "Now, let’s make this battle... thrilling." Scarlet. She clapped her talons together and the guards released an icewing, a seawing, a sandwing, a skywing, and a mudwing. "Too bad our nightwing is dead, and too bad he refused to fight her." Scarlet scoffed. "What kind of dragon is he." She wondered. "A better dragon then you’ll ever be." Tsunami hissed up at Scarlet. Scarlet glared at her. "You’ll close your mouth, or I’ll come down and kill you myself." Scarlet hissed. Tsunami glared at her, but closed her mouth. As she prepared to fight, she thought about Starflight and how he didn’t want to kill the prisoners. But, she had no choice. she was forced to for her life. She really, really didn’t want to, and she hated the feeling of her claws peeling the scales off their bodies. She shivered as she was not looking forward to this. she just had to pretend that she was killing scarlet and peril. Peril, the one who killed clay for her mother, only for scarlet to kill her anyway. his death... all for nothing. "Let the thrilling battle begin!" Scarlet said
Glory:
no, no, no, Glory thought as Tsunami was forced to fight one of almost every tribe. She lost all her friends. she couldn’t lose Tsunami too. "I’ll tell you what, rainwing. why don’t you fight for me. if you do, maybe your sandwing will live. or maybe I’ll let the annoying seawing live. though i might have to change her tower so i can’t see her ugly face." Scarlet said. "I'll never fight for you." Glory hissed. But she considered it. She'd do anything to keep her friends alive. She didn’t even know if Sunny was still alive. Scarlet might be lying, like when she told Peril shed release her mother, then dismissed Peril and killed Kestrel anyway. She was such a tyrant. It got her wondering, Were all queens in Pyrriah like this? She shook the thoughts out of her head. she knew deep down that it didn’t matter because they weren’t ever going to be able to explore the world anyway. They would never see their homes or find their parents. They would die here in Scarlets cruel talons in the arena. Maybe my friends would be safe if i hadn’t been brought to that cave, Glory thought. I was a mistake. maybe i should’ve just turned myself in to Kestrel and let them kill me, she thought solemnly. Or, i could have used my venom without being selfish, caring if they figured out my secrete. I should’ve done better. Glory shook her head sorrowfully. Hopelessness rushed over her scales in color. Maybe it would just do better to pretend that this arena was Pyrriah, nothing else but this arena. At least she got to stretch her wings and breath in the cool air, even if it was just for one millisecond. she slightly envied clay and Tsunami for their adventure. Well, all that matters now if keeping my friends safe, Glory thought. Or two friends if Sunny isn’t alive. Scarlet and Burn have been talking to each other about Sunny, calling her "A gift to be put in your weird trinkets in that horrible smelly tower of yours". Burn talked about stuffing her and putting her on display. that might be worse than what happened to clay and starflight. she couldn’t imagine anyone stuffing Sunny. She felt a tear trickle down her snout. She missed sleeping next to clay and sunny and starflight and tsunami. she struggled to believe that it was all over. not to mention the guilt that hung over her when she shouted and alerted the guards to chain her up before she could shoot scarlet and save starflight. it was her fault he was dead. and the nightwings. oh, she would tear Morrowseer apart limb from limb if she could. fortunately, Tsunami was doing fine in the battle. She'd already killed the mudwing and the skywing. now she had just had three dragons to go. It took a while of dodging stingers, fire, and frost before she was eventually able to kill the seawing. now what was left was the sandwing and the icewing. Glory went through a lot of worry during this battle, and her heart nearly dropped to her claws when a sandwing just barely missed a jab to the heart with their stinger. Tsunami later began to lose the battle. she was bleeding a lot, but still strong enough to keep fighting. Glory watched the icewing scrape its extra sharp claws across Tsunamis underbelly and nearly snap her neck. Fortunately, Tsunami was able to kill the icewing with a bite to the neck and leap to pin the sandwing. the sandwing shrieked and attempted to stab tsunami with their stinger, but tsunami grabbed it and held it down. she glared at Scarlet, and snapped the sandwings neck. She was still bleeding a lot, but fortunately enough to live. she hoped scarlet tended to the prisoners wounds before they fought the next battle. or was scarlet too cruel for that? "aww, that’s unfortunate. i was hoping they would all kill each other. it was a possibility. imagine if the sandwing stabbed the seawing and then she snapped his neck. haha! that would be thrilling." Scarlet said. the crowd was still cheering though. the battle was really bloody. and, speaking of Morrowseer, Burn appeared from behind Scarlet. "what have you summoned me for. I have prisoners to kill." Burn said. "Yes, yes, I have an important announcement and then you can get back to your gruesome thrills." Scarlet said. "Everyone quiet! the queen is speaking!" Vermillion shouted. a hush fell over the crowd. Scarlet stood at the very front of the balcony and raised her voice. "The nightwings have delivered a message across Pyrriah. a messenger was sent to us first." Scarlet said. This couldn’t be good. a nightwing messenger? What did they want? Murmurs whispered around the crowd. "The so called 'prophecy dragonets' are fake." Scarlet announced. Gasps rippled through the crowd, and shock rippled through Glories scaled. Fake? Glory knew that was a lie, but for Morrowseer to announce that across Pyrriah, where they not good enough for him? or was it just Glory. What did Morrowseer want. "The nightwings have pointed out... reasonable evidence. But their nightwings, and everyone just haaas to believe them." Scarlet said with an eye roll. "scarlet!" Burn hissed. "That’s QUEEN Scarlet to you." Scarlet snapped. "Whatever! shouldn’t we NOT be telling the crowd this? if they know that these are fake dragonets, which they likely are, they will start to gain hope in the prophecy." Burn growled. "Well, it’s too late now. and besides, they are nightwings. the nightwings could be lying, the prophecy could be fake. why else was the traitor kestrel with them." Scarlet said. "well, i guess that means the seawing means nothing to me now." Scarlet said. "But she is an exceptional fighter. she does make fights more thrilling." she stared hungrily at the blue snarling seawing. "What about your stupid lazy rainwing over here." Burn said. Glory’s scales turned red, and she hissed at Burn. "I'm still deciding." Scarlet said. "Well, you better hurry up." Roared Burn. "what does it matter. she’s clearly no dragonet of destiny. there’s supposed to be a skywing, not a rainwing!" Scarlet said. "Whatever." Burn rolled her eyes. Glory wanted to shove Morrowseer in an arena, she was so mad. If they really were fakes, why did they treat her so badly?
Burn: Burn wasn’t in the mood to tolerate her allies fun 'thrills' and fights. she wanted this done now! "well, what are you waiting for? kill the seawing!" Burn hissed. "Fine, fine!" Scarlet said. "I'll but her up against our second-best champion. see how much she can manage." Scarlet smirked. The guards grabbed Tsunami upon hearing this and dropped her into the arena, one fleeing with a bleeding snout and the other limping with a fractured arm. the seawing was tough, Burn had to admit, but if Scarlet didn’t kill her soon, she swears she would grab that seawing and rip her open herself, and put her on display somewhere in the "false dragonets of destiny" section. She didn’t understand why Scarlet didn’t just send that monstrous firescales to do the job. Burn knew that this seawing could probably fight anyone, except Burn of course. The guards released a large muscular seawing. Tsunamis eyes widened as she was once again forced to fight her own, but hopefully without hesitation. if she were forced to watch these boring arena battles, which burn would rather fight and kill all the prisoners herself, Scarlet could at least make it interesting.
Tsunami:
Tsunami feared what she knew was already inevitable. That she would die before she got her claws on Scarlet or her monster Peril. It was the end of the dragonets of destiny, or now rather, the false dragonets of destiny. She sighed, thinking about letting the seawing kill her, but what about Glory? she had to at least try. all she was really doing was stalling the inevitable. She buried her teeth and readied her claws, her tail poised. "Welcome to this arena match, Tsunami versus Ripcurrent" Scarlet announced. "Let the thrills begin!" She leaped at the seawing and sent him flying into the arena wall. The seawing grunted as he stood back up. he hissed at Tsunami and charged for her. Tsunami whirled out of the way, but the grabbed her with ease and slammed her head into the wall. Pain was sent throbbing in her head, and she thought she could see stars swirling around. The seawing grabbed Tsunami and hurled her into the wall with a crack. The crowd cheered as Riptide cornered Tsunami and aimed a strike at her neck. Tsunami leapt up, just barely dodging it.
Glory: Glory was Horrified. Now this was a death sentence. Tsunami couldn’t possible fight a seawing this big. her scales turned all colors of stress. Tsunami leapt onto the seawings back and tried to sink her teeth into his spine, but he threw her off like she was a flea. He smacked her to the ground and slammed a talon onto her, pinning her down. He raised his claw and slashed her snout. He scrapped through her neck and underbelly. A shrill shriek of pain came from Tsunami as blood bubbled from her wounds. no, no, no she wouldn’t let her last friend die. not like this, not today. she had to do SOMETHING! Tsunami writhed out of his grip, but he caught his claw on her wing, tearing it. He smashed his tail in the ground, sending her flying in the air. She landed on her side with a thud. The seawing roared triumphantly and and sank his claw into her tail. he clawed deep gashes in her side. The shrieked of agony from Tsunami was too much to bear. The seawing stomped his talons on Tsunami about to finish her off. "STOP!" Glory shouted. The seawing looked towards Glory, confused. "Put me in. let me fight him instead! Please." Glory begged. Scarlet smirked. "And what can you do rainwing? hurl fruits at his face? sleep on him?" Scarlet mused. "Very well. Put her in the arena. I can’t wait to see her skull smashed between his talons." Scarlet said. The guards took Glory off of the tree and dropped her into the arena. They grabbed Tsunami and put her back on the pillar. Well, at least that’s one more day Tsunami gets to live. Thank goodness. That’s all that matters to me now, Glory thought. As the seawing turned to glory and hissed, she prepared her surprise. As the seawing cornered up on her, she darted for its arm and sank her extra-large fangs into it. The seawing yowled and threw Glory off. Glory landed on her feet and braced herself for another attack. The seawing charged at her, and she turned invisible and darted out of the way. ripples of surprise went around the crowd. The seawing looked confused. he turned in every direction, trying to find her. she leapt onto his back and sank her claws into his neck. he yowled, thrashing around. He whipped his head and threw Glory off of him. Glories scales turned a reddish color. The seawing dug his claws in the sand, ready to leap at her, when Glory barred her fangs, and shot out a jet of venom into his face. The seawing screamed in agony. Greater than Tsunamis or anything she ever heard. The venom ate away at his scales and burned his eye away. He shrieked even louder as it seeped into his wounds. She blasted another jet of venom at his side. The seawing collapsed to the ground in pain, writhing around. The shrieks were terrible. Almost too much to bare. The crowd had started to go silent, shocked murmurs rippling through the crowd. Everyone held their breath as they stared at Glory in fear. She had to admit, something about Burns shocked expression made her satisfied. Burn looked as if she were jealous. as if she wished she had that power. Also like she had just found the most unusual thing in the world and wanted to add it to her collection. she shivered. The venom was starting to melt his skin. Its melted to the point where you could see his jaw bones. Glory herself was a bit shocked. she never really knew she could do that. it was kind of just an instinct to know. she never knew it would do this much damage. The seawings ribs were starting to show, and the venom was so strong it was even eating away at his bones. after a long moment of screaming and writhing, The screams started to die down, and the seawing laid lifelessly in the arena sands. The crowd rippled with murmurs, wondering if all rainwings could do this. The thing she hated most though, was the expression on scarlets face. It was a nasty expression like shed just found a new champion. Like this was the best fight shed ever seen and she wanted to see it again. She turned and flinched as she saw Tsunamis shocked expression.
Tsunami:
The screams horrified Tsunami. she never knew glory had magical death spit. The crowd finally arose in a wave of cheering. "You idiot! now they’re both alive!" Burn shrieked. Scarlet whispered something in Burns ear. she had a feeling Glory was in for another battle.
Morrowseer:
"Now, it is time for your trainin- are you EATING!" Morrowseer roared. he snatched a cow out of Ochres talons. What an idiot mudwing. "Fatespeaker SHUT UP and keep your visions to yourself." He hissed. At least Flame and Viper were... mostly focused. They were hissing at each other and glancing at each other with hostile looks every now and then, but at least they were still paying attention. "Seawing! get over here and pay attention NOW!" He grabbed Squid and dragged him to Flame and Viper. Such idiots, Morrowseer thought bitterly as Ochre tripped over his own talons trying to walk to the others. Flame and viper shot him hostile looks. "EVERYONE SHUT UP AND PAY ATTENTION!" He roared. They all fell silent and looked at him. "Better." He glared at all of them "Now, your task is to go into that skywing camp and convince them to choose Blister." Morrowseer said. "Go. Now!" He said. He watched as the dragonets knocked on the door of the skywing camp. He could hear them talking in the distance. Flame and Onyx where shouting threats and Fatespeaker was trying to reason with them. The rest where barely focused. The idiots weren't even convincing them! Angry, he sent the nightwings inside the burn down the skywing camp. Startled, the false dragonets of destiny scrambled towards Morrowseer. "You need to stay focused and be more convincing. Use your brains! If you have any." Morrowseer hissed. Maybe it was better than the original dragonets of destiny. If he told them, would they? They’d just get in the way of all of his plans. These dragonets would obey him this time! And if they didn’t, he'd force them into it. So far, the plan was starting to come together.
Queen Scarlet:
She was happy. She had a new champion and most of the annoying dragonets were dead. A few days had past and every day she watched her new rainwing champion fight her way up the rankings. She knew Burn liked to keep her prisoners in the weirdling tower for a while, but the sandwing probably wouldn’t escape. Now, it was time. Time for a REAL battle! A thrilling battle! She and Burn sat on the balcony. She smirked at Tsunami, who looked horrified as if she understood that Scarlet had something big for Glory. "Today is the day we might have a new champion!" Scarlet called. "It's time for the rainwing to really prove to me who’s the greatest!"
Glory:
The guards dropped Glory in the arena. As Glory looked around to see who Scarlet was talking about, she came to realization just as the fiery ball shot down on the sands of the arena. Peril shot a look of uncertainty at Scarlet, but Glory couldn’t tell if it was guilt about killing one of Clays friends, or fear that Glory might win. And perhaps, maybe she would win. "Avenge Clay!" Shouted Tsunami. Peril backed away a little. "Glory..." She said. "No." Glory hissed. "Want to beg for mercy? You should’ve thought before you killed my brother, your friend, the only one who believed in you. And not to mention, all those other thousands of dragons." Glory hissed. "Now that you’ve had your boring emotional chat, can we get on with it?" Scarlet retorted. "Let the battle begin!" Vermillion called. Peril hesitated for a second, then lunged at Glory. Glory leapt out of the way. She shot venom at Perils wing, and she shrieked as it evaporated against her scales, slightly burning her. It was working, but only a little bit before it evaporated.
Peril:
She didn’t want to kill Clay, but she had no choice. It crushed her soul to have to. "I needed to save my mother..." Peril said. "Your mother... who treated us terribly... who tried to kill me." Glory hissed. "Well, monsters are friends with monsters." Glory said. "Scarlet actually let her go. Though i may never see her again..." She said. "Kestrel is dead!" Glory hissed. Peril stopped. "What?" Her heart sank. "After you left Scarlet killed her anyways. She held an execution ceremony. It was all a lie." Glory hissed. "No... no, no, no." She put her talons to her head. She killed Clay! And all for nothing. They were both dead and it was all her fault. She could have easily saved them. While Peril was distracted Glory opened her mouth and shot a lot of venom at Peril's face. Peril shrieked with pain as it melted her scales and her eyes. Her scales were evaporating it, but Glory was constantly shooting venom at her, overpowering the fire. She collapsed to the floor in pain, and gasps rippled through the crowd. But maybe Peril deserved this. She was a monster and a killer. "I do deserve this." She said to herself. She looked at Scarlet, but there was a smirk on her face. She didn’t care about Peril, just who was going to kill for her. She just realized that. This was her punishment for her mistake. But Peril had gone silent, and still. Had Glory actually done it? "Out new champion!" Announced Scarlet. Vermillion dragged Peril away with metal clamps, which were melting. But a couple minutes after Vermillion came back, Glory swore she saw a ball of fire flying away. Had Peril faked her death?
Tsunami: She didn’t see what might’ve been Peril flying away. She was too busy feeling triumphant that shed avenged Clay. "Wipe that guilty expression off your face. you did what’s right." Tsunami said. And Glory did fix her expression. But why would she feel bad about killing that monster. Tsunami shook her head. They were put back up on the pillars, and all-night Tsunami thought about Clay. Would Clay be proud? She knew the answer was no. Clay with his soft heart wouldn’t have wanted this, but it wasn’t like they had a choice or anything. The next day she was, she was abruptly awaken when a skywing guard snatched her off the tower and threw her in the arena. And with her was Glory. There was a look of fear in Glory's face before she fixed it. Inside the arena stepped a muscular rainwing. "I wanted to assess how powerful rainwings are. I wanted to test if all rainwings can do what she does, or if this rainwing is special." Scarlet called. "Introducing, Panther of the rainwings versus Glory of the rainwings and Tsunami of the seawings!" Vermillion announced. Vermillion yelped and flew out of the way as Panther lunged at him. Scarlet rolled her eyes as the crowd laughed for a while before she glared at them, shutting them up.
Glory:
I don’t want to fight anymore, thought Glory miserably. She was done with the violence and never thought that she would ever kill a dragon. She liked to imagine herself flying freely with Clay Sunny Starflight and Tsunami. This might be the end. Or maybe it never began in the first place. Maybe it was never meant to begin. Maybe in another universe they fulfilled their destiny. But then Glory remembered that the prophecy was probably fake. She sighed, wondering if it would be not only the end of them, but Pyrriah altogether. She snapped back out of thought as the rainwing slashed her in the side. Tsunami had her teeth clamped in its tail. The rainwing was almost as big as Morrowseer. The rainwing turned to bite at Tsunami's neck, but Glory shot a jet of venom at it, and he shrieked as it hit his back. The rainwing lunged at Glory, knocking her over. She felt claws sink through her scales. At this point, she didn’t even care. All she cared about was protecting Tsunami. There was no hope for Glory, but perhaps there was still hope to save the last dragonet of destiny alive. She aimed her venom, but not at the rainwing. She aimed at Burn, then shot her venom. It was hard to aim with all the pain in her scales. She felt blood gush from her stomach and the sobbing sounds from Tsunami was too much to bare. Burn was hit in the face, and she shrieked. The crowd started to panic and ran or flew to get away from Glory. "Glory defend yourself!" Tsunami shouted, clawing at the rainwing. "If this is the end, live as long as you can." Glory said. "Clay would’ve said that." Glory couldn’t fight anymore as she was losing too much blood, and the rainwing shot a jet of venom at Glory. Glory quickly turned her head to Tsunami and shot her venom, melting the chains off.
Tsunami:
Glory laid limp in the arena sands, the rainwing looking smug. The rainwing lunged for Tsunami, but she had her wings spread flying. She was flying! She picked up Glory's body and flew her away. She buried her near the Diamond Spray Delta. The rainforest would’ve been too far of a fly, and she didn’t know if there was anyone following her. She touched her talons down in the river. It had been so long since shed touched the water. But her joy was overlapped with sadness as she didn’t get to experience this freedom with her friends, her siblings. She flew towards the ocean and didn’t stop. It was about half a day or so that she arrived. She plunged down in the sea, swimming in circles. She was free all because of Glory. Then suddenly, anger shot through her as she could’ve sworn she saw what looked like a ball of fire in the distance. But it couldn’t have been. Glory killed Peril. She dove underwater and swam towards Peril, then lunged out of the sea and grabbed her. She winced as flames licked her scales, but as she dragged Peril underwater, the fire cooled off. She guessed that Peril wasn’t really strong because it didn’t take her much effort to kill. All it took was one touch. The look of shock on Perils face was priceless. Tsunami had to be careful though. If she doesn’t stay in the water Peril would burn her. Peril popped her head out of the water to breath, struggling to kick Tsunami away. "For Glory!" She shouted, yanking Peril back down.
Peril: She wasn’t sure why she fought. It wasn’t like it was even worth it. Peril stopped struggling and let the seawing carry her down to the blue abyss. She shouldn’t have been born in the first place. If only her brother had lived instead of her. But did Kestrel really even care about her? Did Scarlet? Probably not. She didn’t know the mudwing very well, but she missed him too. Clay was strong and brave. Maybe she should’ve let him kill her.
Tsunami:
She was forcing herself not to react to the expression of guilt and deep thought on Perils face. In a way, she wanted to ask her if she felt guilty. She sighed, blowing bubbles, and gestured for Peril to swim up. She didn’t want or need to kill anymore anyway. But Peril only gave Tsunami a solemn look and shook her head. Tsunami tried to to feel guilty as Peril sank to the bottom of the sea. Tsunami shook her head and swam away. She knew she was probably too late, but she knew something she could do. Sunny was likely in Burns tower, either stuffed or in a cage. She flew for about a day or so when she reached the kingdom of sand. She flew as high as she could, not wanting to risk being spotted. But where would sunny be. She flew all around the palace and what looked like prisoner towers. That must be it! Tsunami couldn’t get in though. There were no windows and there was no way to find out where Sunny was. She decided to very stealthily sneak in. Shed trick a guard into looking one direction and slip past them. Then, shed slowly make her way to the towers.
Sunny:
She had been in the cold tower for days, worrying about her friends. She cried every night thinking about Starflight. It couldn’t be true. But everyone else said it... Suddenly, the doors clicked, and Burn entered the tower. Her face was horrifically melted, and Sunny yelped at the sight of it. "I'm getting tired of all your whimpering and whining." Burn hissed. She turned her head to show her burnt side. "Your rainwing friend did this to me." She growled. Glory did that?! How?! "But i guess it doesn’t matter since she’s dead. All of them are. Maybe except that stupid seawing on the loose but who case about her." Burn smirked triumphantly. "And now, you shall be as well. You are part of my collection." Burn studied Sunny's barbless tail. She looked around burn, hearing rapid talon steps, and there she saw Tsunami running towards her. And being rather unstealthily. She tried to keep herself from letting out a happy yelp, but what stopped her is Burn suddenly sinking her claws into Sunny. Sunny shrieked, and Tsunamis eyes went wide. "Sunny no!" Tsunami screeched. Burn turned around. "You!" She hissed at Tsunami. Tsunami glared back at her. "Give me back my sister." She hissed. Burn jumped at Tsunami, but she managed to evade her. Sunny would’ve ran, but she was chained. Tsunami ran towards sunny, but Burn slammed her out of the way. Sunny couldn’t watch this. She would’ve told Tsunami to run, but she couldn’t speak.
Tsunami:
She would’ve said she wasn’t going to run, but Burns guards started to come, and she tried to reach sunny one last time. Burn grabbed her and slammed her into the wall. As the guards chased Tsunami, She felt her soul melt away hearing screams from Sunny. She didn’t want to look, but when she did she saw Burn with her tail stabbed through Sunny. Of course, it was all for nothing. Fortunately, she nearly managed to make it out alive, but the next day she snuck back in and checked at sunny. She was placed in the tower. Her expression was stuck in a horrified manner. "I'm sorry, Sunny." Tsunami said. She wrapped her wing around the stuffed dragon, then flew away. she was never going back to the kingdom of sand again.
Morrowseer:
It was a couple of months later. Tsunami had been trying to survive all by herself, and the false dragonets where becoming more known as the real dragonets. "Your next task," Morrowseer ordered, "Is to convince the icewings and mudwings to fight each other. This should give us time to kill the brainless sheep of a dragon." He said. "First, we ambush the mudwings on the western side of the mud kingdom." Morrowseer drew a map in the sand and stabbed his claw on the border of the mud kingdom. "It’s best to do it with icewing weapons, which we have only a few in handy." He handed the dragonets spears, Fatespeaker looking hesitant. "Aren’t the dragonets of destiny supposed to be... y’know... merciful. Aren’t we supposed to stop the war, not fight in it?" She said. "Hush, nightwing. It's my prophecy." Morrowseer growled at her. "Now do as i say." Fatespeaker had no choice, so she nodded silently. "next, we take the weapons from the mudwings you kill and attack the icewings on this island outpost. Its slightly isolated from the icewing village so it should be an easy hit. Unless your idiots." Morrowseer growled. They nodded, except Ochre, who was busy birdwatching. Morrowseer sighed and grabbed Ochres head, twisting it around to face him. "Stay focused!" He hissed. "Now go. I will not be following you. Screw this up and I swear I'll send you down a volcano." Morrowseer growled, his eyes directed towards Ochre.
Viper:
Finally! It was time to get some blood on her talons. It took a while, especially with the other idiots cluelessness, but they finally made it. They dropped down on the mudwing camp, startling them. Viper flew down silently, grabbing a mudwing and stabbing them through the chest with her barb. Fatespeaker was the only one not really fighting. It seemed as if she was pretending to fight and dodging the mudwings blows. Once they killed them all, they dropped the spears. Except of course Ochre, who complained about liking the spear and not wanting to let it go. Viper licked the blood off her talons and admired her tail barb. "I bet I killed more mudwings than all of you." Viper smirked. Flame hissed at her. "No I did." He said. They glared at each other. Squid had to be pathetically saved. He was pinned by a mudwing. The only reason Viper bothered to 'save' Squid was to kill the mudwing pinning him. Otherwise, she probably would’ve left him. When they got back Morrowseer quizzed them on how they battled. He was mad at the other three and annoyed at viper. "You idiot." He hissed. When the Mudwings find the soldiers with sandwing stab wounds they will question if the Icewings really attacked them." He hissed. "Yeah... well... They have sandwings with them. They might think Blazes soldiers helped. It might make them angrier and want to attack Blaze as well." Viper hissed. "It was still careless." Morrowseer glared. "Now, onto the next task. It will take you a while to get to the ice kingdom. Maybe a day. I suggest you get a head start."
