prologue somewhere in the rainforest 
Jaguar walked out to meet his assassins.  a dragon shimmering to in view sandfly the half rain wing silk wing she glittered as she sat down beside her mate. 
“Python will pop up somewhere“, said sand fly. Her silk wing antennae on curling.
“The most deadly out of all you”, he said, rolling his eyes. sandfly bared her venomous RainWing fangs. The Sand-NightWing hybrid landed on one of the higher branches that was circling around their heads. Python looked down with her icy blue eyes, her mind reading scales glittering. Out of all three of the assassins, Python was the most dangerous. You never know when she will pop up. Her forked, snake-like tongue flicked in and out of her mouth. Dangerous and dripping with jewelry. There was something odd about her; whenever she looked at you, it was like she saw something more than your mind-she saw all of your secrets, all of your plans. No matter how much Sky Fire he wore, she would always see something. She twisted down through the vines as she sat down to take her seat beside her half-brother.
The old abandoned rain wing port was his hiding place. It had been a of the main rain wing ports before  took over before tulips take over .mady not much farther away was the old rain villi surprisingly she could walk straight into it the legends told of a palace haunted by ghosts rain wings over the years had not came back for their treasure so it was all his now.d. Wan He had Been a dragnet him. His mother had told him stories about anaconda .slivered inside his small sentiment.
“Who’s the target?” Python said, her snake curling from her neck and re-settling again as she sat down in the chair closest to the door.
“I need you to track down my old friend Gemstone,” he growled. It had been almost 4 years since Gemstone had escaped the flamesilk cavern with the help of her companions, Caracara,  Honey pine and honey wing. more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. 
Python helped herself to the candy. “Gemstone, as in the SilkWing queen?” said Python, slightly alarmed, as she grabbed one of the sugar candies.
“Of course, who else?” He said, slightly annoyed.
“As in the most dangerous queen.” She said, exhaling sharply.
“I’ve dealt with her mom before. From what I know about her, she might be more dangerous than you even know,” he said.
“It's only a caption Mission “, he said, rolling his eyes. Python disappeared into the trees- the last thing they saw was her starry wings fading without a trace- as a pale Sandfly appeared.
The sound of Sandfly's voice came from one tree. “Jaguar, you might’ve just signed it as a Mission.” She sounded so close, suggesting she was right behind him.
“The claws of fire are your own doing.” Yelled python.her shrill voice echoing throughout the Forst.
== Chapter 1 python ==
“ why would he assign us a legit impossible mission“, said a voice of sand fly ring in her ear. She hated when her friend was invisible. It was strange hearing a voice, but not being able to see it. her mind was still.
“We know where the summer palace is “, she said while diving and grabbing a fish. 
“ They had gemstone don't have to guard her thank God”, her brother added .
“ we’re here, remember the plan, sandfly?”, said Python . As she turned to the voice of  sandfly. 
“ Yes, go invisible and knock out any guards“, she said in a mocking tone. .
“ The coast is clear”, said an invisible voice. The tunnel wasn’t bad, they could swim under it with no problem, they had to train for hours to hold their breath.They merged into the summer palace
“Hi! Sand wings!”, yelled a voice as they looked up to see a hive wing coming. From a cave were large Gold sh brown scales. Gleamed through the pale light.
Sand wings the queen isn’t going to be happy well she never really is happy with me so mm how did they find the summer palace?
“ Stop your mind hive wing termite”, she hissed. she can read my mind she must be half One of the siblings or Night wing.
“ Half Nightwing if you must know“, she hissed.
“ But I can shield my mind, how isn’t this working?”, he hissed. she had been born under three moons. so no shield thing could work on her. A large mainly blue dragon landed she was ginormous in dripping with jewelry.
“ send wings? in the summer palace great work termite“, said the strange dragon. her mind was completely shielded. she couldn’t even get through it. her mind sent a message stay out. It was strange .
“ you’re that assassins”, said termite surprise. She had finally sew the Crown on the strange dragon 
She hissed and sandfly the crown on her head.
“Your queen gemstone!”said sandfly . re-appearing beside her.
“Yes I am”,said the queen .
“ Let me guess Jaguar sent you”, she replied with thoughts in her head. Gemstone clapped her talents together and about 13 dragons appeared circling them . They were dragged into a cave with eerie singing. The. Closet can cause rain.!
“ oh, it’s scale wing again”, said the dragon who is similar in color to belladonna leaves. strains plants she didn’t recognize uncurled some of them. dripped with sap. well others had small, red beans. they were dragged towards the eerie singing.
“ Will you do us a favor? Can you please  make scale wing quiet? we can hear her from the deep Palace.”, said the dragon whose name was Belladonna she searched for it, and it was well hidden. by the way that she said it, she assumed she was joking. They could slightly hear it from the beach below them.
“ she poisoned the queen twice and trust me gemstone is patient, so I’m admittedly surprised that it took her to be poisoned a fifth time to put her here”, said belladonna waving her claws towards the dragon who is singing. The plants were coiled around her. It was a genius prison. She would be a lot more impressed if she wasn’t going into it. The vines curled around them. dragging them next to the dragon who is supposed to name Scale wing. 
“The queen just wants to make sure that you 3 are safe”, said belladonna as she drove away.
== Chapter 2 Addax ==
Scale wing’s dead body started to twitch he looked over at python
“ what do you see, it's mine “, he said, reaching towards his half sister.
“ it isn’t a might instead it’s like Leaf speak”,She breathed and she was rapidly shaking.
“ it’s like she’s back from the dead”,She breathed her copper earring shaking. The plant the gemstone and belladonna had made no it was impossible. They somehow made a plant with a conscience. and it just needed a dragon to latch onto. If that was true, why were   python, sandfly and him? being controlled by a plant. because there’s already a brain there’s already someone in charge. it must've been needed. an empty mind. if they just wouldn't. killed scale wing. they wouldn’t be in a horror story. This kind of stuff only happens in books or squirrels. But how would a plant gain consciousness?
“ this is all her fault if she wouldn’t have annoyed the heck out of us we wouldn’t be in this mess”, sand fly, said.
“ we need to get out of these vines or whatever they are”, python said. her snake uncoiled the snake hadn’t been grabbed by the vines.
“ Lucy you need to go and get someone”, said python desperate, see, and panic in her voice for the first time since her mother died. 
“ Maybe we can just cut the vines?!”said sand fly.
“ Have you never read a horror story?”, he said, trying to lighten the mood.
“ Well, this isn’t a horror story so we are cutting the vines and if we somehow get infected cause it seems like it needs a dead body. Well, then we’ll justify some crazy cool, super villains”, Python said. They hadn’t cut the vines yet, because there was no reason Gemstone wouldn’t kill them, so it was pointless. Python grabbed one of her spitting stars out of her bag starting to cut away at the vines, constricting her neck. she broke through  cutting more of them away with her wings.
“ Maybe Gemstone can stop it”, Python said, cutting them free. 10 years he’d been alive. He’s never been this terrified. His father was one thing but a zombie trying to kill them infected their brain. What’s another thing! They ran out and python started to pile some rocks, trapping the zombie inside. I’ll be over reacting? to the level above them to their luck. Gemstone was there.
“ We are serenely sorry for breaking out of your prison there was a zombie dragon”, said, python, breaking through the door.
“ Are you serious or are you trying to get out of prison?”said Termite . He looked startled, so it was something out of his worst nightmares.
“ We are very serious, so we kind of killed scale wing… I hope you guys weren’t attached to her. because she is now a zombie dragon and I do not know how the heck along that rock wall we made it’s going to hold”, python said, looking back at the cave, were now yelling and hissing was coming from.
“ One question: how is there a zombie dragon?”said gemstone, looking up from a map. He quickly made a map of the room in case he  needed to get out . A table and two more dragons on the table looked like some kind of war plan. no, there was a third dragon. He hadn’t noticed her and she was sitting there quietly to his surprise She had a lot of injuries.
“ We think the crazy plant you and belladonna made has a consciousness, but it needed a brain but one that wasn’t controlled by someone already”, python now she had one of her spinning stars, out, ready to attack zombie scale wings.
“ Well, we can’t just can’t have a normal day without something crazy or going wrong”, said the dragon, who had he hadn’t even noticed at first.
“ Yesterday I had to save termite from getting eaten by a great white shark”, she said, slightly annoyed.
“ I had it under control, piranha!”snapped termite.
“ if your definition is like this all rainbows,, you mean in the jaws of a mouth of a great white shark, then, yes”, said piranha, looking Bordley at her claws
“ We do not need you two fighting like a divorced couple over who gets a child when there is a zombie dragon!”, gemstone, said, accidentally flipping the table. and sending it flying towards them.  a holder of what is a conch shell with about eight holes each labeled with symbols he didn’t understand. Gemstone grabbed it  and blowing into it and covered some of the holes. Dragons all over the summer palace Flu to different locations. Some were wearing jewelry towards the cave.  purple Silk wing with white spots. She was beautiful as she landed beside gemstone. Belladonna came with pouches strapped around and threw a set to gemstone. gemstone opened it, grabbing a few things out of it. She laid it on the table and grabbed something. It was a necklace with colored glass beads and a singular diamond at the end of it. It seemed fake. But gemstone placed it to her forehead and closed her eyes.
“ What is she doing? He asked Piranha.
“ oh that’s her slip into the memories of any dragon or hopefully a plant”, she said surprisingly calmly. Python Sat in the corner, her eyes closed in scrunched when she was looking through someone’s Brain. Her face had a look of horror.
“We need to quarantine the plant and Evacuate”,Gemstone hissed. 
approach
== Python chapter 3 ==
A bowl came flying into her face. A dragon with dirty nightmide blue scales 
Her father stomped out of the kitchen living room. Her new Home The compound is a sprawling palatial complex, it has gold dripping from like every surface !In her opinion it was to match  gold. She ran to the observatory,like even time  her father and mother took that angry oct on her.She opened The door Diamonds twinkle like stars everywhere, scattered throughout the walls and columns. She ran to the blue cushions and  silk pillows. The star charts she made lined the walls. She bairen her  face in her claws. 
“Hey? Are you ok? “, said a voice. She looked up to see a dragon with  pale yellow scales. He had eyes like her viper. His face was spising very similar to her. 
“No “, she clyde. His mind was racing so much that she couldn’t look though it. 
“Wow you have a dragon bit viper”, he said. 
“Oh you're that half sister that dad talks about am Addax”, he said. It took her a minute to really understand what he said. It all makes sense the quick Move.  her parents fought. So most likely a sand wing. She remembered one of the fights once, something about Him seeing another dragon. So mother got back at him. With Addax. As her mother ran in.  The  pale yellow dragon pinned her to the wall. 
“Python! You need to hide”, The desperation in her voice. 
If she had been found by her father it would have been her who was killed that night but it was her mother. For the past 9 years she was the reason her mother was dead.The silk wing queen sat quily on her throne. Her face was pale as she gave orders.
“The island place “she said clearly 
“As for the prisoners ”,said timite 
“the deep palace”, Said Gemstone calmly. She made a grer with her wings. Thay was guided eyeing in to their eyas. The deep palace prinin was in a tower in about 50 cells. 
She was  guided in to a cell. She was very tired so she let her eyes close and go in to sleep. 
She woke to see queen Gemstone out slide of her cell. She was only wearing an emerald headdress with an emerald the sims of a fish egg, on a thin svier chain. The pouches  that she had seen yesterday were waing. And a bali. 
“Sleep will”,she said 
“Good”,said Python.
“Good you are going to need it “,gemstone hissed.she was nothing how she had pictured she was taller than she had thought. Her eyes were blue and purple, not a glod. She hadn’t thought that she was going to be a blue of gemstones. It made sense. But the most spring thing was that her wing had a thair in it. 
“The planet? “, she asked 
“I end it”, Gemstone.said. She had fily seem that all the grues were unconcerned. And in gemstone’s hand was a key. 
“Will you help us tiash down a villain “, she smiled and she smiled back. 
“My brother and sister in law? ‘, she asked 
“No thair are not coming “, she said softly 
“Do we have a dale? “, she asked 
“We do”she said, shaking her hand. 
…. 
to see termite and Piranha and tree silk wings and a sea wing was efelye sit next to Piranha. All had some kind of bag on. The two sea wing had speras on their backs and one bag on they necsh. Termite had a dreamlike state one of the silk wings was paing him in the slide. He has blue eyes and ears, blue and green and white, and Red and yellow scales.long series of scratches on his wing one of them. Now the sunlight termite  Gold sh brown scales had black chasing through them and gold eyes. He smiled at her. She bared her teeth in regard to him. She is so beautiful and she can read my mind. Gemstone started to laugh her hands over her mouth. Or the first time she noticed the small jagged scar on her snout. The purple Silk wing with white spots effectively clad in gemstone’s wing. Gemstone gladly put her head on her. Her name is sparkled she thought and sea wing  was towering, enormous, and powerfully built, with turquoise scales. with broad shoulders, and gleaming teeth, She had a long trident strapped to her back. 
Their names were Tempest Silkwood and Danaid. 
She looked at  termite. He looked up from the book in his hands. 
“Ok I am really to get far away from the  e summer palace, it's a reminder of what i can do”, said Gemstone. She had always been to seem in the minds of others but even cold if she could  she couldn’t see in her head. And Gemstone so to 
“We are going “, hissed Gemstone. She flew into the air. She looked down at the group. 
“Are you coming”,  said the air.  a flu everyone else was joking around she  stayed near the back  stroking her snake. She looked around the sea in every direction. Was Gemstone nuts! She knew that Gemstone was a little out there but still she couldn’t imagine her flying in to the Middle of the ocean. 
“Are we going to the lost continent! “, she shrouded to the air. 
“Yes”, she yelled back. As panic grew in her head making her slow down. 
“We are almost at the first island “, said termite helping her land on the ground. palm trees many wish had fallin. 
“You got hit by lightning you blacked out for a few minutes we had to get you out of the water are you doing ok? “, he asked as Gemstone landed close by her head headdress a sideways and she was drinking wet. A scowl on her face. 
“Good to see you alive “, she hissed. The pian flaky startin. She looked at a shell by her claws. 
“We made shater”she said as they guided her into a small cavern she closed her eyes as they put her down on a mat. 
== Chapter 4 gemstone ==
She looked back at the sleeping form.  sparkle came walking over and she put her wings around her back. 
“What is training you my love”, she said in the way that only she could. 
“My mithit “, said wharat. 
“Ever the wasp insed”, she  said wharat. 
“You aren’t her “she said. 
The sound of tholins made them stop talking.  Tempest and Piranha Danaid. 
come into the cave. fish and coconuts.  Termite was caring harters for pyone. He started to puer it on her braces. Her chas rings and falls. Her snake coiled by her side. She rit as the wode span
“Gemstone Gemstone”, it came from a distance water pooled around her claws. She walked to the sound of her name. The dragon was the biggest she had ever seen. Her green ancange scales a glonin crown, the same crown she had been wearing two days ago.  
“Your anaconda the moth of towin”, her voice shaking. 
“Just anaconda”, she said, her blood  running through her eyes. She smiled at her. She needed to get back to friends. 
“You and are not so different “, she said smiling 
“I am nothing like you “, she hissed anaconda laughed 
“If you looked at our stories the powerful young animes lass is the one  she loves to go mad  and become queen gos mad to save her kingdom “, said anaconda.
“I just want the svan her”,she said as she stood 
“You are the claws of fire “side anaconda .Her claws glow with fire  she started to scream as she was pushed back into into really

“Sh sh sh”, she said.as she had her.
“She is not you “, she said .

“Mmm”,she said.
“Ow…”,said pyan.
“It is time to go “, said Gemstone 
“ two members of this group just passed out”,said Sparkle 
“We are going to need dassc “,said gemstone 
“Jawa hive should be the most common place to get in so they be  Guarding it”she added. 
“Cade hive well be more guarded and so will wasp”, she says 
Mantis Hive
thay all said in unison
From wut she knows it was "the smart Hive" a place for science and technology and art and music and odd dragons. On the first 3 lali. A number of exzins when she was little thay had been talking patin her in one of exzins. If we are comt some of us may end up they. 
“Ok time to go”, she said. 
…. 
To her spis their was no of the femis They walked in the hive .the fish 3 cells had no dragons. But the next section had a little light blue dragon with silk wing horns and sea wing spines on her face and she had 3 eyes. Her room had a bed and a meri. She was asleep. She looked a head the next few minutes ran through the first 3 levels. To the homes hed science and technology and art and music all different from the next. She looked to a female hive wing  working on some sort of experiment.  many files  laid out on a silk mat. She look up at her a look hate crered her fand. 
“You look like an experiment groed rand”, she hissed powting at gemstone. 
“I know “, said termite. 
“Isn’t her  interesting?”, he said. 
“Did you buy her”, pouting at her. 
“Yes”, he said. 
“I need to put them back “," he said. 10 levels above a large gess ball with all kinds of flowers she could see roses of gold and silver and violet. Foxgloves and forget-me-nots and orchids Creeping Charlies all in every color of the world. She found herself smiling. A living piece of art. It was perfect. She had only read about it. Her mother had often talked about the nature scene. But it was more perfect than the cod of early modern. When I get back I will make something like this, she thought. Her parents would've loving it here. A silk wing smiled her scales blue of the sky. Her eyes were like amethyst. Her wings looked like someone had dropped out of the hive. She looked away from the dome and than she saw a little orchid that had been corn out of the dome she not their vision so that they are killing it.  like what thay are doing to you said anaconda. She cooped up  the little flower saning her mians in to it going it into her scales and it was going up in her wing. 
“Orchid “, he said. She ran after him. In .the time tiked by.the home of termite btho. 
“Ant”,said termite.he nod at  thedoor.a black dragin opened the door.
He hissed “get in side”,. In the first room t,hey guided in to. In the room. Was a young dragon with gold r scales she was a silk wing. She bowed her head at them. To her surprise,  she had a  metallic look to her scales.
“Golden Moth, he hissed.She looked up at him. 
“Yes”, she hissed. She got up from a pillow in a cupboard maned of tree stuff. Her dark blue eyes widened at Gemstone as rmer the snake nenly. Silkwood smiled. 
“Wow I wish every one looked at us that way”, he said. As ant come back with a spear. 
“Sir”, said Golden Moth. 
“What wasp said bow her is lia”, said  Danaid.
you are the claws of fire anaconda ring in her ears.She looked down at her claws. 
“Didn't want believe that you was a trailer”, he hissed.as  Two other dragons one a female. She was tall and thin she had glowing blue eyes she. 
“Dear “, she said calmly. 
“Sorry I didn’t mean it like that termite”, he added at the look on his wife face .she had a very nice smile on her face.
“ Let me lead you to the guestrooms”, she told them.
“How big is your bathtub?”, said piranha.
“Oh you’re a sea wing”, she said circling her once.
“Piranha! Get back here!”, yelled tempest. She thought of the legend of anaconda she preferred the sea wings version it showed anaconda as a sister and a mother and a wife and queen who just wanted to text her dragons but her and Miss magic drove her mad there’s more evidence to back that up then the rain wing version she liked the part where anaconda was  challenging her mother after her sister‘s death quite similar to how she challenged so maybe anaconda was right she would have to ask for the full story that’s one she drifted back into anaconda’s world
Tell me the  Claws of fire is finally here to hear the story my story I was hatched and my mother trust me aside just like you  all the other hours but I was a different born with power in my talents as you are she smiled flicking her tail over as gemstones claws set on 
fire again how can I do it how can I activate it
Just think fire
Gemstone drift back in and thought fire quietly a slight glow from her talents no fire she nearly shouted and they reversed as they stopped as they stopped glow
A spinning Star landed right above the shoulder blade pinning her wing down.
“ python taking my target I see?”, said an invisible dragon. The rain wing. Materialized in front of them. she had purple scales. scars is twisted up and down her face. 
“Graceful “, python hissed. 
“The one and only “, she said.Suddenly a dragon appeared her teeth were broken her face was contorted in anger
“ birch?”, she said.
My queen I’m sorry but your mother told me to come with you to protect you “ she said she now had graceful pined .
“ I don’t need protection, and I left you and her in charge of running the kingdom while I was gone” gemstone said slightly irritated.
