Continental Isles

By KizumiTheAnimeFreak/TheAmazingLyric (My alt acc.)
This story takes place about a decade or so after the battle with the Breathe of Evil, and Jade mountain has expanded for Pantala. Animus magic has been rumored to return to the dragon tribes, the NightWings were slowly regaining their powers, and Pyrriah and Pantala are at peace. Although, a new prophecy has come, and the tribes on Xyrrei and the land itself are unlike anything the other tribes have seen. And with Darkstalker's spirit out there...

== Prologue: Celeste ==
A LIGHTWING NAMED CELESTE WAS gliding through the sky and above the woods. Two of the three moons were full, and she was quite noticeable, thanks to her white scales, and golden spikes reflecting the moon's light off of them. And the gold under her wings flashing the light every wing beat didn't help. It's not like she would get in trouble, at least she thought so, but she was out of LightVoid Kingdom, and who knows what would happen if another tribe's patrol finds her? Celeste just hoped that she would be able to find him soon....
In the corner of Celeste's warm eyes, she caught the movement of something darker than the darkness of the trees beneath her. She dove down, having an idea as to who it was. Celeste flapped her wings a second before reaching the grassy forest flooring to soften the landing, and landed on her talons gently. She looked around, making sure nobody was around -in the sky or woods- and walked around. 
"Shadow...?" Celeste whispered, taking cautious steps. 
"I'm over here," a voice called back. Shadow stepped out from the trees, and over to Celeste. He had near black indigo scales, dappled with a brighter shade of indigo. His eyes were a deep blue, and were just as kind and intelligent looking as ever through his spectacles. 
"Shadow...!" Celeste smiled, like she always did whenever she saw him. She didn't hesitate closing the gap between them, and pressed her muzzle against his. Shadow smiled into the eskimo kiss, and twined his tail with Celeste. After a moment, he pulled his head away. "You...you needed to meet up out here...?" 
Shadow nodded. "Yeah. It's very interesting, promise." 
Celeste watched as Shadow reached to his side and into a pouch that she didn't notice at first. He then pulled out a bundle of orange string and a small handful of caterpillar green scales. Celeste peered at them curiously. "What's so..." 
"I found them along the beach," Shadow started to explain. "The silk had some scales tangled up with them. After a moment of untangling the scales and observation, I came to the conclusion that these scales are from another dragon, a whole other tribe...!" 
Celeste glanced up towards Shadow, then back at the scales and silk. "The scales could just be from a Soulwing, though." 
"That's what I thought too!" Shadow said. "But why would it be tangled with orange silk along the beach?" 
Celeste hummed thoughtfully, then tapped a talon on the silk. "But for all we know, this could be dyed, and was a messed up weaving that pulled some scales out while being discarded." 
"But Soulwings are the last tribe to waste something as valuable as silk," Shadow objected. "And I put it through every whitening remnant I could find, and it's still this prominent orange." 
"That...is a bit weird," Celeste agreed. "But say that there are other tribes out there, and another continent across the sea. How would we get there? There could be a storm, or we could get tired and...." 
"Don't worry, we'll be alright," Shadow reassured, putting the silk and scales back into the pouch. "I thought of everything. We'll- we can leave in a few days or so, by Harpy Bay. But only if you're okay with leaving." 
Celeste put her talons on Shadow's, and looked him in the eyes. "Let's head back...s-so we can get ready and leave as soon as possible." 
Shadow smiled softly. "Alright. Let's go." 
== Chapter 1: Duskfall ==
DUSKFALL PACED ALONG THE CLIFF that led to the entrance of Jade Mountain Academy anxiously. Duskfall was always a bit nervous when it came to interacting with new dragons that he met when they visited the Rainwings or Nightwings, let alone a whole school. His mom, Moonwatcher, tried to reassure him that Jade Mountain Academy would be a place where he could open up, but no matter how much Duskfall tried to believe her, he never could; he was already self conscious about being a hybrid. At least he, his sister, Ethereal, and friends, Startide, Firefly, and Peacemaker, were going with him. They just weren't there because he left early. 
 
After a moment more of pacing, Duskfall looked back at where he had flown from this morning, and saw the glistening of ice blue scales. He stepped back as Ethereal and Startide landed a few paces away from Peacemaker and Firefly. 
"See? I told he just left early," Firefly said. 
Ethereal walked over and wrapped a wing around Duskfall. To be honest, it was a bit funny, due to the size difference between the two, and since Ethereal was actually the younger sibling of the two. Duskfall wrapped a wing around her back, embracing the coolth of her scales against his warmth emitting ones. Duskfall pulled away and glanced over at the others, and saw Peacemaker hugging Startide with both wings, just to feel included because he was that cinnamon roll. 
"Come on, guys, we gotta go," Firefly said, flicking her tail against Peacemaker's head. 
"Hey!" Peacemaker exclaimed, pulling away from Startide and flicking his tail at Firefly's. "I know that we have to go, but can a dragon enjoy a hug?" 
"You've hugged Star longer than the siblings hugging each other," Firefly said, half-hearted, and only giggled when Peacemaker rolled his eyes. 
"Come on guys," Startide said, looking down. "Shouldn't we head over to the entrance...?" 
Ethereal nodded, and started to walk over to the entrance. Startide followed in pursuit, as did Firefly, Peacemaker, and Duskfall. In the front of the entrance was a Nightwing with silver teardrop scales next to her eyes, speckled along her tail, and around one of her ankles passing scrolls out to the students and talking with them as well. Duskfall recognized Fatespeaker from the silver scales alone, having met her multiple times. Ethereal nodded her head in a greeting, and Duskfall waved weakly. 
"Hello you five!" Fatespeaker said, smiling. "Moons, last I saw you guys, you were half that height!" 
Duskfall smiled softly. "Yeah, I guess we were." 
"Oh...Fatespeaker?" Startide started, interrupting the conversation between her and Peacemaker. "Could we...uh...get our maps and dorms, please?" 
"Oh, of course!" Fatespeaker exclaimed, clasping her talons together. She walked over to the entrance, then stopped and turned to the group of dragonets, gesturing with her tail for them to follow. 
Inside of the mountain was a large cave, decorated and lit with fire lights and flame silk. Different dragons from different tribes were all gathered in small groups, from the tribes from Pyrriah to the ones in Pantala. Duskfall looked at the others; Ethereal and Startide looked as if in awe, Peacemaker looked excited, and Firefly looked as if this was no big deal, but her excited thoughts said otherwise. 
A pale blue Seawing with white-pink scales, similar to the inside of a shell, walked up to Fatespeaker, holding scrolls with one arm. "Fatespeaker, did you give them their map and welcome scrolls?" 
"Oh! Sorry, Anemone, I was just about to do that!" Fatespeaker said. She took some of the scrolls Anemone held out, and handed them to Duskfall and Firefly. 
Anemone handed the other scrolls to Ethereal, Startide, and Peacemaker. "It's fine, Fatespeaker. Anyways, dorms! Startide, yours is in the farthest hall to the right, and the fifth entrance to the left. The same goes for you, Ethereal." 
Startide and Ethereal nodded, and headed down to the hall that their dorm was at. 
"Peacemaker, your dorm is in the fourth one to the left, and the first one on the right; decorated with flowers!" Fatespeaker called as Peacemaker sprinted to his room, excited. "Firefly, yours is in the same hall, but is the first tunnel on the left instead!" 
Firefly nodded, and followed Peacemaker. 
"And yours, Duskfall, is on the farthest tunnel on the left, and the second one on the right," Anemone said. 
Duskfall nodded, and walked down to the hall his dorm was in. As he went to his room, the looked around at the other dragons; there were actually more hybrids than he thought there would be, to be honest, and it made him feel a bit more comfortable. He even passed by one in the hall, as he walked to where he would be staying in Jade Mountain. Inside of the dorm was three different beds, all of which accustom to the dragonets that would be staying there; there was a small pit filled with sand by a window with adjustable leaf covers, a high up platform in the room, and a hammock on the other side of the room. There was also a small rack of scrolls and books by the entrance, with the sign "FREE READING. ENJOY!" just above it. 
Duskfall walked over to the sandpit by the window, and set his welcome scroll and map next to it. He then walked out of his dorm, but instead of the peaceful halls from a moment ago, there was a fight between two dragons. One of the dragons was a vermilion Skywing, with odd black scales speckling his tail, arms, body, legs, and neck with deep, blue eyes. The other dragon was a Mudwing-Nightwing hybrid, with deep, brown scales and with fades of black. 
"U-um..." Duskfall started quietly, then found the courage to speak up. "What's happening out here?" 
The two dragonets stopped for a moment, and glared at Duskfall, but separated themselves. 
"This bird brain was talking crap about me!" the Skywing growled. 
"All I said is 'that Skywing looks weird' you hippo head!" the Mudwing hybrid snarled back. "Imagine what your crappy reaction would be if I said something that was actually offensive!" 
"Oh yeah? Like what, you stupid, useless lizard?" the Skywing hissed, mockingly. 
"Like the fact that-" 
"Okay, calm down!" Duskfall shouted, interrupting the Mudwing-Nightwing hybrid. "So, you said something...and you got mad is basically what happened. Why don't you two apologize?" 
"What?!" the Skywing exclaimed. "I don't have to-" 
"You tried to fight, uhm...." Duskfall glanced at the hybrid. 
"Aries," the hybrid said, smiling faintly. 
"Thanks," Duskfall said, then turned back to the Skywing. "You tried to fight Aries, after he said something that offended you. So it's common sense to apologize for that kind of thing." 
"Only if he apologizes first," the Skywing muttered. 
"I'm sorry for saying that you looked weird," Aries said, not wanting to continue the fight. 
"Then I'm sorry for trying to fight you," the Skywing grumbled. 
"There, that wasn't so hard, was it?" Duskfall asked. 
The Skywing rolled his eyes, and shot a glare at Aries, who held his talons up. 
"Oh, uhm, what's your name?" Duskfall asked the Skywing. 
"Peregrine. After the fastest bird in the sky." He spread his wings, proud. Although, Duskfall could see odd, silver speckles scattered along his wing. 
"I'm Duskfall." 
"Well, nice to be your acquaintance," Aries said. "I'm gonna go, my dorm is farther down the hall." 
Duskfall and Peregrine watched Aries walk down the hall and enter a room, leaving the two to themselves. The two looked at each other, and Duskfall shifted nervously. Duskfall was about to say something, but the rushing of talonsteps on the stone floor rushed this way. There, a Seawing entered the hall, panting as though she had been running. Duskfall recognized Tsunami, one of the Dragonets of Destiny. 
"Okay, stop the fight you-" she cut herself off as she looked at the two. "There's no fight?" 
"Uhm, no," Duskfall said. "I separated the ones in the fight." 
"Ugh, damnit," Tsunami cussed. "Sorry. I would have gotten here sooner, but today has been really busy." 
"I bet," Peregrine said, nonchalant. 
"Well, if that's the case," Tsunami started, "go ahead and explore. Or something. I'm-" 
A dragonet came rushing into the halls. He was a Seawing-Icewing hybrid, with pale blue scales speckled with a darker shade of the blue, and cyan eyes. "There's a fight!" 
"Another?" Tsunami sighed. "Okay, you dragonets stay out of trouble. Show me where the fight is!" 
Duskfall watched Tsunami rush out of the hall to follow the dragonet, and turned to Peregrine. But he wasn't there. Duskfall looked around, and saw that Peregrine went into their dorm. He walked in and saw Peregrine perched on top of the high up ledge. Peregrine glanced down at Duskfall. 
"These dragons know how to make a room. My bed is damn epic," he said, smirking. He thought for a moment. "Yours is pretty cool too, I guess. The sand by a window seems...Night-Sand-Hybrid-y." 
"Oh, thanks," Duskfall said, settling himself in his sandpit. "Your black scales are interesting. Where are they from?" 
"Oh these?" Peregrine tapped a few of the scales along his neck. "I got it from my mother, who got hers from her father, who had a Nightwing for a dad." 
"Really?" Duskfall was a bit surprised. 
"Oh, yeah," Peregrine said, looking away. "There's a few others who descend from Nightwings in the Skywing Kingdom. I know this one dragon, Zircon. She's a hybrid of a Seawing and Skywing, but one of her parents descends from a Nightwing." 
"Huh...." Duskfall thought for a moment. "Do you know his name? The, uh, Nightwing you descended from, I mean." 
Peregrine turned to Duskfall again, his expression darkening a bit. "Fallout." 
"Huh." Duskfall slumped as he noticed the expression change, and thought of how he could try to make Peregrine less down. "That name sounds pretty cool, like a dragon that you don't want to be messed with." 
"You think?" Peregrine asked, brightening up a bit. He grinned. "I guess it does." 
The two talked for a while about stuff that they were interested in when a dragon walked into the room. He was a Rainwing, with cerulean scales that faded into a darker and darker shade as it traveled along his arms, legs, and talons. His under scales and frill was black, and his wings were white. The Rainwing also had something on his head, like a white helmet, and had some pieces of armor on his talons, arms, and legs. Duskfall could have sworn he saw this Rainwing before, but he couldn't recall where. 
"Oh! Are you guys my clawmates?" He asked, his scales shifting into yellow. "That's epic! I'm Blueberry!" 
"Ugh, turn the color down several notches!" Peregrine said, covering his eyes. 
"Oh! Sorry," Blueberry said, the yellow scales shifting back to the cerulean blue. "I just got excited!" 
"We could tell," Duskfall and Peregrine said. 
"Heheheh!" Blueberry laughed. He looked up at the hammock hanging from the ceiling, and flew up and into it. "Wow, this is just like home!" 
"Probably because it came from the rainforest," Peregrine said, rolling his eyes. 
"Oh, right." 
Would it be weird if I took a nap right now? Duskfall though as he laid his head down, resting it on his talons. He glanced between the two as they started talking, his eyelids drooping a bit. At one point though, he dozed off, the last thing he heard being Blueberry saying something about exploring while Duskfall napped, and Peregrine agreeing. 
== Chapter 2: Duskfall ==
DUSKFALL STIRRED AWAKE AS THE sunbeams hit his eyes. He lifted his head up, and looked at the blue sky outside his window. He yawned, and Duskfall turned to look at his clawmates; Peregrine was asleep, as was Blueberry, by the looks of the lump in the hammock. Duskfall got up and stretched, looking around once more before leaving the dorm. It was peaceful and quiet, the only noises being his talonsteps and the sound of other dragons asleep. Duskfall walked down the halls for a while longer, simply thinking and letting his talons take him where they would. 
He had a strange dream last night, where he was flying above a forest on a clear, sunny day. But then the sky suddenly clouded, with a storm that may as well have covered the whole continent. He had looked around, only to see dragons from two tribe fall from the sky and one for those tribes to die, just like that, or attempt to fly away, and another two tribes yell out something that Duskfall just couldn't hear. He had looked up at the storm, seeing the silhouette of one dragon, and of another one, larger than the first, when lightning struck. Then it had just disappeared, leaving Duskfall to be floating in a dark void. 
Duskfall was so deep in thought, that he didn't notice the humans walking around the halls until he bumped his talons, with that being the thing that snapped him out of it. Duskfall blinked, and looked at the human; he had tan skin, with dark brown hair that was tipped the color of sand. To be honest, he found it quite curious as to why there were humans here. Did they learn at Jade Mountain too? Were they allowed? 
"Sorry about that," Duskfall said, leaning his head down to be level with the human. "Wait, you can't understand me. Uh..." 
A human with slightly longer, more pale hair walked up to the human that Duskfall had bumped into, chirped something to it. The first human chirped something back, and the new human looked up at him. "He says it's alright." 
"Wait, you can understand me?" Duskfall asked. "Like, talk, uh, dragon?" 
"Yeah!" The human said. "I'm Ash, and I'm here to help people out with you dragons. I'm basically a translator, in a way." 
"Cool..." Duskfall murmured. "Uhm, why weren't there any humans yesterday?" 
"It's a bit of a safety precaution," Ash started to explain. "Just in case if you guys -dragons, I mean- get a little too excited and accidentally hurt a human." 
"Oh. Uh, okay," Duskfall said. "I'll be on my way, then." 
Duskfall let himself wander once more, his mind looping back to the dream. It had felt so real, as though he knew the dragons that were yelling and flying.... He thought of a detail that he originally ignored. Those dragons weren't from any tribe, they were from ones that he had never seen before. Not even like the hybrids or small, unknown tribes that had a few dragons attend Jade Mountain Academy. He stopped dead in his tracks, and was about to go look for something to write these thoughts down somewhere, but he saw the figure of a dragon in the room.
