Your Queen Is No More

Excerpts taken with most due respect from the Late Queen Glory's personal journal

After much anticipation, my eggs have finally hatched today. The three opalescent gray ones hatched into three beautiful tiny daughters, however the dark gray egg was dead, as I have suspected.
Two of the daughters, the thin gray scaled one with no frill (whose name is Precious) and the plump white-scaled one (Gouldian), are as sweet as can be and love to cuddle with each other and Deathbringer and I. However, the third, indigo-scaled daughter (I have decided to call her Luminous) is as fierce as can be and snaps with a gleam in her small golden eye. A shame, I was hoping none of my daughters would be so feisty as to one day overthrow me for my rightful throne... ah well, I suppose she could change over time. Besides, she is only a dragonet...

My daughters' colors have begun to set in, and though they are hybrids, I still see them as beautiful, whole, perfect dragonesses. 
Precious, my eldest, is becoming tall and slender. Her body shape is that of a NightWing, but she is taller than both the average RainWing and NightWing her age. Her scales are a dull dark gray color, and her eyes are dark green. Gouldian is still the pale white she was at hatching, with soft scales over her NightWing-like body. Her eyes are red; I'm almost positive she's an albino. She has no frill or prehensile tail. And Luminous-she's undoubtedly my most beautiful daughter. She is large for her age, and her scales are always a rich indigo color, and the larger scales on her are silver. Her wings are small, but laced with silver scales. She's beautiful in the way that a fierce jaguar is.
As for my future placement on the throne... I am still concerned.

It is official: Luminous is my fiercest daughter; just this morning she nearly strangled Gouldian. The two were wrestling (Luminous dared her sister to a match; Gouldian is normally no more competitive than a butterfly) when Luminous held Gouldian in a choke hold with her forearm. Gouldian was nearly unconcious when I came upon the two concealed behind a platform. I separated them and sent Luminous to her hammock as a punishment.

I am beginning to become more than concerned for my royal status, and my life. Luminous has been glancing at me often, studying me with that vulture-like glint in her sharp eyes, calculating a plan of sorts... Luminous is indeed a bright one.
11:31 PM, Thursday, September 24, '15
Luminous has begun to address herself as 'Queen Luminous'... I am unsure whether to send her off to the SkyWing arena to go away. She is nearly as large as I, despite being only four years old, and I am nine. She is a fierce one... (will continue after intertribal gathering tomorrow afternoon)

Though Glory may have once been a powerful queen of the RainWings and NightWings, Luminous felt it was time for someone else—someone younger, more powerful, someone with mixed blood as to be the true leader of both tribes—took over the kingdom. After all, what was the use of a unique queen if she wasn't replaced every five years?
Luminous always craved power, from the day she hatched; she was most obviously the dominant hatchling in her clutch, despite being the youngest of her sisters, her foolish, gentle sisters. She was the champion of all—or, at least, she would be, soon.
Soon.
The morning Luminous's gradually (but steadily) unfolding plan truly began to take place, Glory had to address the entire kingdom about some "top-secret" matter—Luminous thought it completely unfair that she wasn't allowed to know but the rest of the kingdom was. Glory would be speaking to the whole of the rainforest kingdom... a perfect time for Luminous to show her true colors as the most powerful dragoness around.
The task ahead of her felt surreal to Luminous. She was really doing it. She was going to overthrow her mother, possibly the mightiest queen in Pyrrhia, and take over the throne, whether her subjects liked it or not. No matter how excited Luminous was for this occasion, the rest of the kingdom never approved of her plans. Luminous had learned to keep her plotting to herself, as a result becoming secluded and mysterious. All the better for the effect, she told herself.
As her mother prepared her speech, Luminous's talons itched with excitement. She remembered a time when her mother thought of her as sadistic and nearly sent her off to a mental health center, but (wisely, in Luminous's eyes) decided against it. Little did she know...
Glory flew off with a quick salutations to her daughters, gripping her written speech scroll in one talon so tightly Luminous thought it might simply tear in half. How funny that would be.
After a short hesitation which seemed like eternity, Luminous made sure nobody was watching her, then launched after her mother, grinning in a way that probably appeared far too malicious for any other local RainWing to muster. Her heart pounded with exhilaration.
At long last and after several instances of Luminous becoming lost in tangles of vines, Glory alighted on a large platform above what Luminous recognized as the main amphitheater of the rainforest, located between the premises of the NightWing and RainWing villages. Luminous flared her wings to stop herself in mid-flight, causing a fwoom sound that would probably get her caught. She dove behind a tree, barely rustling any leaves.
