The Darkest Night

== The Darkest Night Prophecy ==
When the war has lasted eighteen years…
The dragonets will come.
When the land is soaked in blood and tears
The dragonets will come.
A SilkWing egg of rosy pink
The HiveWing egg is the missing link
A SeaWing egg of deepest blue
Wings of night shall come to you
Coiled within its branchy nest
The LeafWing egg lies at rest
For wings of earth, search through mud
For an egg the color of nutmeg 
The largest egg in mountain high
Will bring you wings of sky
Chilled to the bone
The IceWing resides alone 
Beautiful it is, the RainWing egg that sleeps
In trees so high 
And hidden alone from rival fiends, the SandWing egg awaits unseen 
Of three fiends who Covet, Crave, and Yearn
Two shall die and one shall learn 
If he bows to a fate that is stronger and higher
He will have the power of Wings of Fire
Ten eggs to hatch on The Darkest Night 
Ten dragons born to end the fight 
Light will fall and bring midnight
The dragonets are coming…

== Prologue ==
Wings flared, Sovereign landed with a slight gasp, clutching at his chest as he panted. Limbs shaking dangerously, he crawled up the beach of the island, an egg clutched in his talons. The egg had a normal pale-sandy color, but the fair shade was marred by swirls of cyan, specks of black, and starbursts of white. Sovereign limped through a cave opening and into a large, dark cavern, where other dragons were waiting. The  three guardians parted to allow Sovereign to place the egg in the nest, with the others. The eggs clustered in the nest cracked and rocked dangerously. The egg Sovereign had just placed in the nest splintered open, revealing a small, pale dragonet. The dragonet squeaked and squirmed around, looking up at his guardians. 
“Well, what should we call it?” Sovereign asked, disdainfully looking at the dragonet.
“What’s a good name for a…” Bloodmoon trailed off. “Uh, what tribe is he?”
“He’s a tribrid.” Halo answered, gesturing to the small dragonet’s tail spikes, sail, and gills. “SandWing, SeaWing, and IceWing if I had to guess.”
“Sooo, what’s a good name for that?” Bloodmoon asked.
“Sandpiper is a beach-bird, right?” Alluvial asked, picking up the small dragonet and curling faer talons around him.
“Sure, Sandpiper, why not?” Sovereign replied, grumpily. Sandpiper squirmed his way out of Alluvial’s talons and scampered back to watch the other eggs hatch. He reached towards an obsidian-scaled dragonet before jerking back his talon with a surprised squeak. The onyx colored dragonet climbed out of the nest, small fire popping up behind them as they tumbled onto the stone floor of the cave. 
“Oi!” Halo cried, breathing a spurt of frostbreath onto the fires and extinguishing them.
“That one’s a FireScales.” Bloodmoon stated, backing away from the dark dragonet.
“No, really? I hadn’t realized!” Sovereign hissed, poking the dragonet with a stick. 
“Hey, be nice!” Alluvial rose from the floor, where fae had taken a quick nap. Fae shoved Sovereign aside and the tribrid snarled. 
“The stick didn’t catch fire.” Halo observed, holding Sandpiper and another recently hatched dragonet.
“You’re right,” Bloodmoon carefully walked over, and scooped up the little dark colored dragonet. “Their scales feel normal.” 
“Fascinating.” Halo mused, peering at the dragonet. Sovereign grunted as he was handed Sandpiper and the newly named dragonet, who was called Maple. 
Halo gently took the dark dragonet from Bloodmoon, and the RainWing hurried back over to oversee the rest of the dragonet’s hatching. 
“Let’s call them Phoenix.” Halo said, peering at the squirming dragonet. Phoenix squeaked as they were set down, and Sovereign added them to the collection of dragonets he was holding.
Bloodmoon grinned as the RainWing hatched, her scales already brilliant shades. 
“I’ll call you Malaynia.” Bloodmoon said to the RainWing, who cooed and tottered over to Sovereign. 
Two eggs shattered open at the same time, one revealing a wingless SilkWing dragonet, and the other showing another tribrid. 
Halo took the SilkWing, and deemed her Violet, while Alluvial took the tribrid and named her Leviathan. 
Bloodmoon rushed back to the nest and picked up a Mud/Sky dragonet, who was earnestly trying to help the others hatch. The guardians had conversed before on what to name the younger dragonets and the Mud/Sky would be Hestia. Another tribrid burst through their shell, sending small bits of egg everywhere. They squeaked and squirmed when picked up, and Halo deemed them Satomi.
Sovereign took all the already hatched dragonets to a separate cave, where they curled up, exhausted from the efforts of hatching. 
Bloodmoon and Halo watched over the nest, while Alluvial slumbered on the floor. The HiveWing egg cracked open quietly, and Bloodmoon scooped up the dragonet, naming them Yellowjacket. Halo waited on the last egg before scooping up the Rain/Night hybrid, calling her Starlight, and taking her to the sleeping-cave.
Little did they know, a large, unseen dragon was hovering over the ocean, watching…and waiting.
== Chapter One ==
Sandpiper crouched with a smirk, perched inside a small tunnel that opened into the main air of the central cave. He looked down, where Sovereign was napping.
Sandpiper tipped a large bowl over, sending a cascade of water onto Sovereign’s head. The guardian jerked awake with a snarl and glanced up, but Sandpiper had already scampered back down the tunnel. The tunnel led directly to the sleeping cave, where he and the other Dragonets Of Destiny stayed. 
Sandpiper entered the cave and the dragons perked up. 
“Didja do it?” Satomi asked, standing quickly and scattering scrolls with their tail. 
There was an angry shout from down the hall, and they all jumped. 
“No, I don’t think he did.” Leviathan added sarcastically from her bed, before stretching slightly. 
“Come on, Levia, you don’t always have to be so sarcastic.” Sandpiper pouted. “It was an excellent prank.” 
Sovereign stalked into the room, steam curling from his maw as he glared around.
“Alright,” His voice was dangerously low. “Who did it?” Water was still streaming from his scales. The dragonets all stared at him blankly.
“Did what?” Yellowjacket asked, tilting their head. 
Sovereign's dark gaze snapped to them and Yellowjacket glared back defiantly.
“Did what?” Yellowjacket repeated, staring evenly back at Sovereign. 
“Someone has decided it would be funny to pour water on me.” Sovereign said, it sounded as if he was barely containing the anger. 
Phoenix, Nix, looked up from their perch.
“I’m sorry, sir, but we’ve all been in here the whole time.” They said. Sovereign sighed.
“Just fess up.” He growled, tail lashing.
Sandpiper looked at Maple who finally spoke up.
“Yeah, we’ve been here the whole time.” Maple was one of Sovereign’s favorites. Sovereign liked the little hybrid because he didn’t speak out against him.
Sovereign took a deep breath and Sandpiper thought he was going to explode, but he just sighed loudly, turned and left.
Sandpiper let out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding.
“Can’t believe we got away with it.” He chuckled. Alluvial appeared in the doorway, yawning widely. 
“Come on y’all, we’ve got someone to see.” Fae said, turning and pacing away.
Someone new? Sandpiper thought, leading the younger dragonets out.
They all halted in the main cave, staring up at a large hybrid. Sandpiper scowled, immediately disliking the dragon. Nix’s eyes widened and they quickly clipped on their skyfire earrings. Either this dragon had particularly gruesome thoughts, or he could read minds.
Sandpiper scowled, hopefully shielding his thoughts from the hybrid. 
“Everyone, this is Flicker.” Bloodmoon announced, watching the large hybrid warily. “He is one of our guardians.”
“A guardian who didn’t even bother to stay and help.” Sovereign muttered. He gave a dismissive huff to the hybrid before stalking off. 
“Yes, I have to assess you.” Flicker said, glaring at Sovereign’s retreating tail. 
Assess us? What the heck does that mean? Sandpiper thought, tensing as Flicker’s gaze zeroed in on him. Sandpiper and Flicker were around the same size, though Flicker was larger, obviously. Sandpiper’s gaze flicked up and down Flicker’s body, noting the way he carried himself.
“I’ll start with this one.” Sandpiper growled as Flicker pointed directly at him. 
== Chapter Two ==
Flicker led Sandpiper away as the oldest dragonet glanced back at the others, who watched him either worried or unconcerned. Sandpiper followed the large hybrid into a separate cave, and he settled near the door, ready to bolt if needed.
