If the NightWings Never Made the Dragonet Prophecy AU

== Intro ==
This AU will follow the PoV's of Sunny (Who will be also be referred to as 'Beetle'), Clay, Tsunami, Starflight, and Glory, and occasionally Peril and Sky. It contains spoilers mainly for The Brightest Night because the story will shift to roughly follow the events of the first arc. Enjoy!
== Prologue ==
Somewhere in the swamps, an orange-brown dragonet climbed onto a brown and pale brown-gray egg. He squeezed his tiny talons on the egg, and cracks appeared. A rather dark brown dragonet with a long snout emerged, shaking off mud-like slime. The two dragonets started hatching their siblings' eggs. Soon enough, the seven dragonets were curled up in a pile, snoozing gently.
Deep underwater, hidden from the light of the full moons, a deep blue egg with marine swirls was hatching. A dragon curled around it who had the same colored scales shot her head up. She glanced around with her slightly bloodshot eyes, then looked down at the egg, smiling. A dragonet landed onto the soft ocean moss as the egg particles floated up. She had the same royal blue scales as her mother, and lit her bioluminescent scales, lighting up the Royal Hatchery.
A symphony of different animals made the rainforest alive. On the canopy of the trees, a large bowl-like shelter was built, open to all sides but the sky. However, the three full moons still cast a small light from one angle, illuminating a lone egg. Part of the egg was unseen as it was moved away onto a balcony. An adult purple RainWing shimmered into view beside it. The pastel rainbow egg was cracked, and a turquoise dragonet came out. She spread her orange wings, looking up at the full moons.
Hidden in a pile of ash, a silver egg peeked through. Moonlight shone down in a sliver between the trees and smoke clouds. The egg wriggled, and cracks grew through it. A midnight black dragonet climbed out of the ash. As he moved, shades of purple and blue were caught in the moonlight. Silver scale teardrops by his eyes glittered.
Three full moons shone above the desert, turning the sand a pale, pale yellow-gold. A cracking sound could be heard under the sand as a dragon's shape came closer. She had pale sandy scales, and was wiry and compact. The SandWing's sharp ears followed the sound of cracking, and she rather franically dug through the sand, finally lifting out a dark gold egg, speckled with black and white, almost like a flecked, cloudy sunset. More cracks appeared from the top of the egg, and golden talons burst through as the dragoness set it on the sand, peering down at it. As the dragonet pulled down the shell, wide green eyes blinked at her. The SandWing held her newborn dragonet above her head with pride.
== Chapter One - Clay ==
Slip splashed into the large amberish MudWing's face as a smaller, darker one jumped into the small, murky stream.
"Hey!" Clay exclaimed, shielding himself with a pale brown wing a few seconds too late. He heard another, higher pitched yelp, then a splash. He opened his eyes and saw his brother Reed standing on the bank, smirking. Umber had a piece of mud sticking to his shoulder with talon prints indented in it. Their sister Crane, only older than Umber, ran to his defense, spreading her wings in front of him as she dunked her talons underwater. Crane glanced around, then threw the glob at Sora, who was reading a tattered scroll nearby.
"Ah!" She said in surprise, raising her talon. She looked down. "You got mud on my scroll!" Sora frandtically tried to brush it off with her tail.
"Sorry." Crane said, bounding over to help. Umber followed, shaking wet sand off his talons and tails as he clambered onto the bank. Clay bounded over, and a moment later, all seven MudWing siblings were crowded around the scroll. Pheasant ran to get clean water.
"I love you guys." Sora said with a sniffle.
"I know." Umber said affectionately, throwing his smaller wings around her. Reed, Crane, Pheasant, and Marsh joined in the hug, letting Clay put his own wings around them all.
"I guess they don't call you the BigWings for nothin'." Reed said to Clay, slightly muffled. They all collapsed into laughter.
That night, the sibs all gathered around a fire, one of the many that lit up the small swamp neighborhood. Crickets chirped and fireflies hovered around them as they talked, slowly drifting to sleep. Clay was the last one awake. He looked up at the stars and the three moons, smiling. He and his siblings could face whatever came their way. He knew it.
