== Chapter 1 ==
=== Squelch ===
Nine years after TAD (The Awakening of Darkstalker)...
“I can see you Squelch!” Clay grumbled as he flew across the table to grab a scroll from his son’s talons.
“But it’s such a boring scroll!” Squelch complained.
“You know the rules; no burning scrolls at Jade Mountain Academy,” Clay said sternly. “Especially if Starflight’s around.”
“What’s going on?” Peril swept into the cave that she and Clay shared, followed by Squelch’s sister Phoenix.
“Nothing!” Squelch answered as quickly as possible. Phoenix rolled her eyes at her brother. Her red and orange scales shone brightly even though she was half Mudwing. Squelch looked almost entirely like a Mudwing except for the part where his tail faded into some dark red scales.
Peril wrapped her wings around her two-year-old dragonets and said, “I think you two have a history lesson with Webs soon.” Phoenix and Squelch had both been born from blood-red eggs like Clay had, so they were pretty much fireproof.
Squelch groaned and Phoenix glared at Peril but they disappeared obediently. Squelch stopped outside the cave opening and pressed his head against the cave wall. Usually when Peril said something like that, she was just trying to say something privately to Clay. Besides, there was still half an hour until his history class.
“You’re gonna get in trouble,” Phoenix teased Squelch in a whisper, but she walked away. Squelch peered through the tiny window above the entrance.
Peril sighed, sitting down on the comfy leaf cushion, and then jumped up again as she accidentally set it on fire, “Oops. Sorry.”
“It’s fine. I’ll ask Sunny for another one later.” Clay told Peril affectionately.
“Dragonets are EXHAUSTING,” Peril said.
Clay nodded in agreement, “Tsunami was saying the same thing about Urchin yesterday.”
“Well URCHIN is pretty exceptional.” Peril’s eyes widened as if Tsunami and Riptide’s daughter were right before her. Clay giggled.
“I have to go. I’m teaching a class in about an hour and have to get more scrolls about the War Of Sandwing Succession. Also, I’m starving. I could eat an entire pig. Oooh, or maybe a whale.” Typical Clay, always hungry. Squelch thought.
The War Of Sandwing Succession was a war that lasted for twenty years to determine who the rightful Sandwing queen was. The Dragonets Of Destiny (Sunny, Tsunami, Clay, Glory, and Starflight) had finally stopped the war some years ago and the war and the dragons had become history.
“Okay, see you later!” Peril rolled her eyes as Clay exited the cave and went into the tunnel that all the teachers and Dragonets of Destiny shared. Squelch pressed himself against the wall and Clay went past him without noticing.
Yelling echoed from the cave that Tsunami and Riptide shared, “Arghhh! Urchin destroyed another one of Riptide’s maps of Pyrrhia! Just wait ‘till I get my talons on her!!” That had to have been Tsunami. Riptide taught geography at the Academy.
Clay turned right, toward his classroom. Should I go to the cavern that I share with Urchin, Duskhunter (Starflight and Fatespeaker’s son), and Firefly (One of Glory and Deathbringer’s daughters)? Or the library? Squelch went left to the library. Urchin and Firefly were in there already reading a scroll and Squelch hurried over to them and pretended to read with them. He knew Clay would be here soon.
Starflight was at his desk in the middle of the room and his son Duskhunter was flying above him. Clay came into the library.
“Thank you, Father!” Duskhunter called as Starflight handed him a scroll and swooped out of the library.
“No flying in the tunnels!” Starflight called after him.
“Starflight my class needs more scrolls on the War Of Sandwing Succession. I thought you could come and talk at them forever instead.” Clay paused, “Then maybe They’ll go to sleep and stop asking me questions.”
“Hilarious Clay. Oh Firefly, just put that scroll back when you’re done, All right?” Starflight told the mostly dark purple with a bit of yellow and orange dragonet.
“Sure,” Firefly responded, not looking up from her scroll.
Urchin gasped dramatically, “Can you imagine? The tribes hated each other so much back then.”
“It’s a good thing we’re so much smarter than all the dragons that lived before us. We’d never make THEIR mistakes.” Firefly rolled up the scroll they were looking at.
“I’m glad we’re here at Jade Mountain Academy. I’m glad it exists.” Squelch said, realizing it was completely true.
Urchin nodded, “Me too.”
“Me too,” Firefly agreed.
Clay smiled and exchanged a look with Starflight, “Which Winglet are you teaching?” Starflight asked.
“Silver Winglet.” Starflight followed him out of the library and into his classroom.
== Chapter 2 ==
=== Scorch ===
Scorch rolled out of the ledge he was sleeping on. His clawmates, an Icewing named Shimmer, and Clay and Peril’s daughter, Phoenix were still asleep. The Quartz Winglet was: Scorch, Shimmer, Phoenix, Firefly, Duskhunter, Squelch, and Urchin.
Jade Mountain Academy was nice but Scorch wanted to be a spy like his father. Well, his father wasn’t exactly a spy. Qibli was very stealthy and his mind was always on a thousand things. He had also grown up in the Scorpion Den which was known for its spies. Moon always told him that he thought like his father.
Scorch, even being half Nightwing, looked exactly like a Sandwing except for his two dark black horns. Sadly, he hadn’t inherited any of Moon’s awesome powers which could have made him an even better spy.
Before Moon and Qibli had sent Scorch to Jade Mountain a year ago, they had lived in a big house in the Rainforest. It was incredibly close to the tunnel that led to the Sand Kingdom, so Qibli would only have to fly a little ways to be at home. It was too early for any classes to have started.
Scorch froze hearing a voice from down the hall that was Webs, “Urchin told me she would come early this morning to pick up her homework! I never should have trusted that little dragonet!” Sounds like a spy mission! Scorch thought, excitement bolting through his wings. Time to go find Urchin. First stop: Tsunami and Riptide’s Cave.
Stealthily he slid into the hallway that the teachers shared. Without a sound, he slipped into Tsunami and Riptides’s cave. He squeezed into a shelf and took a look around at the room. He was careful not to let his barbed tail hit anything on the shelf.
It was a spacious cave, quite like Peril and Clay’s which he had snuck into once to help Squelch when he had forgotten to do his homework. The floor was a beautiful blue-green dotted tiling and there was a large loft area on one side of the room. Riptide was snoring in his hammock on the ground level and Tsunami was standing outside on a balcony, the doors wide open. Her back was to Scorch. She sighed.
She must be thinking about the Sea Kingdom. I’ve realized that she has been sighing a lot recently. Scorch thought.
Scorch started to imagine what she was thinking, An ocean scent wafted on the breeze. Tsunami wished that she could be in the kingdom of the sea, flying with Riptide and Urchin, the sun shining and the beautiful ocean stretching out in front of them for as long as they could possibly see. The view in front of Tsunami was a cloudy gray dawn with millions of mountain peaks.
Tsunami shifted as if she was going to turn around and Scorch’s mind started spinning, Escape Routes! I could go out the cave entrance, out the balcony on Tsunam’s left, if that area gets blocked prepare fire and barbed tail, and that mysterious door next to Tsunami’s sleeping ledge under the loft looks good too.
Tsunami stopped shifting and she hadn’t turned around. Scorch let out a sigh inside his brain. Urchin definitely wasn’t in here. Next stop: Library.
As he passed the library he peeked in. The only Dragon in there was Ostrich who was sitting next to a big window reading a scroll. Starflight wasn’t even there yet.
“Hey, Ostrich. Have you seen Urchin?”
The Sandwing looked nervous, “U-um I T-think so. She went flying towards the rainforest about fifteen minutes ago?”
“Thank you!” Scorch called, but he was already racing back down the hallway sliding in and out of the shadows.
He flew high above the clouds so no one would see him. What does Urchin want with the rainforest? Wouldn’t she go to the sea Kingdom of all places? Scorch thought. Maybe she wants to meet Glory’s other daughter Sage.
The young minty green-colored Rainwing-Nightwing hybrid was a year younger than Firefly and for some reason, Glory and Deathbringer had decided not to send her to Jade Mountain Academy.
Green trees appeared in the distance and Scorch could just make out two dragons sitting on a huge boulder that jutted out of the rainforest. I could ask them if they’ve seen Urchin.
When Scorch got closer she realized it was a big Nightwing and a small blue Rainwing. No! That’s Urchin! Scorch realized suddenly. The Nightwing lunged at Urchin and pinned her down on the rock.
He raised his talons, about to strike, and Scorch dove downward and roared, “STOP!”
== Chapter 3 ==
=== Sage ===
“Queen Glory, Your Majesty,” A Rainwing, named Papaya, bowed majestically, “There is news of a new Scavenger Den in the rainforest. We found a couple of them and aren’t sure what to do with them.”
Sage’s father, Deathbringer, butted in quickly, “Let’s dispose of them.” When Papaya gave him a confused and slightly shocked look he added, “We won’t eat them of course, just set them free.”
Glory gave her mate a mischievous look and used one of her favorite sayings, “Big bad assassin scared of itty-bitty scavengers.”
Sage had never seen a scavenger before. Could they be cuter than sloths?
Glory’s pet sloth, Silver, shifted on her shoulder. Silver had recently had two baby sloths that Glory had named Buttercup and Willow. Glory had given Willow to Sage and she was planning on giving Buttercup to Sunny the next time she saw her.
“Is that a yes, Your Majesty?” Papaya asked again.
“No. Deathbringer and I will bring them to the Sky Boulder in the rainforest later. I will arrange for the Talons of Peace to meet us there and safely transport the scavengers to Winter’s Scavenger Sanctuary. I hear that he is looking for as many as he can possibly get. If we give Winter our two, he’ll have seven scavengers at his Sanctuary. And please add the Scavenger Den to our main map of Pyrrhia that is located on the pavilion.” Papaya hurried away and was replaced by another Rainwing, actually Glory’s brother, Jambu.
He bowed as well, “You are needed in the Healers Hut Queen Glory. I’m not sure what the problem is.” Glory turned to Deathbringer.
“I’m going to go see what the healers need with Sage and then we can go free the Scavengers.” Glory told Deathbringer.
“But Queen Glory! you can’t leave without your most reliable bodyguard…” Deathbringer protested jokingly. Sage rolled her eyes.
“If you would prefer to go deliver the scavengers now, by yourself, you can go do that.”
Deathbringer shuddered, “No thanks, never mind.” Glory smiled and beckoned to Sage to follow her. They flew off toward the Healer’s Hut.
Dragons would describe Sage as a very shy, quiet, dragonet. They would say it when they thought she couldn’t hear. But Sage could hear perfectly fine. What was wrong with being quiet and shy?! “Even her coloring gives off her personality” Dragons would say. It was true.
Sage was mostly a soft green color and the insides of her wings were mostly pink fading into a bit of light red.
“Sage!” Glory’s eyes lit with alarm and her scales turned light green. Sage glided around a tree.
“What?” Sage asked, confused. Glory breathed a huge sigh of relief.
“You were about to slam into that tree! You could have been seriously injured!” Glory hovered in the air and wrapped her wings around Sage.
“Ack! Mother, I’m fine. Did you see how easily I glided around it?” Sage tried to escape her mother’s embrace. Glory let her go and they continued flying.
Glory rubbed her temples, “You need to be more careful about things Sage.” Sage suppressed a roar of frustration.
“You worry about me too much! You think I can’t do anything and I’m just a helpless dragonet!” Sage glared and looked away from her mother. Sage’s scales turned a dark orange showing her annoyance. They landed on a widespread tree close to the Healers’ Hut.
“I’ve barely seen my own sister in my entire life! you sent Firefly to school when she was one and now I’m one and you won’t send me!”
“You’re special! Look, Sage, Firefly is-”
Sage was tired of having this argument and cut Glory off, her scales red now, “Don’t even start. By all the moonlicking toucans, I could make you send me to school in a second if I wanted to.” Glory’s eyes flared with anger and her scales turn a threatening dark red.
“You know what!” Sage continued, “I don’t need you to worry over me anymore! I’m leaving!” Sage flew up toward the clouds sneaking one last look at her mother.
The red faded from Glory’s scales and they turned a sickening green, “I’m sorry! Please, Sage! Don’t do this…” Sage’s mother was shirking and her shrieks were softer as she flew higher. Sage sighed and turned around. No looking back. I’m going to see my sister. Sage told herself.
If Mother had let me create something that Firefly and I could use to communicate with each other then this never would have happened. Nope, “You mustn’t waste your soul!” She would say.
Yes. Sage was an animus and could see the future.
