==Prologue==
a screech sounded from the other room, she woke up leaping up from her bed.
What was that she thought and stood up quickly from her bed. the young autumnwing followed the sound to her sister's bedroom. she put her ear against the door. the sounds of clanging swords, and screeching.
the dragoness listened and heard yelling from inside. 
"LEAVE THE TWINS ALONE STRANGER" a manly voice yelled.
a voice she had never heard before responded, like a snake slithering through the grass. "well..... how about no" it said
the original, what she assumed was a guard yelled a battle cry only to be stopped in the middle. and thump on the floor. another voice very very familiar came into her ears. "l l leave Dusk alone I will give you anything gold, jewels, ANYTHING" the voice said the sound of a female
Spike and Dusk, what in the spirits is going on?! She thought and heard a gasp.
She shook her head and busted through the door and looked to see a horrifying sight. multiple bodies of guard lay all around a strange dragon with a twisted shortsword, Spike backed up against a wall, shaking. and Dusk lying dead on the floor. Tears flooded her eyes. the dark dragon flipped around and saw the young dragoness.
Spike turned to her "Superstition uhh I have to get out of here!" she said and ran out of the room
"WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING SPIKE" Superstition yelled after her.
The dragon gave off a very deep chuckle. "well I guess you are a witness" he said almost playing with the sword
there was a deep and long silence
"I guess I will have to kill you," he said finally after what seemed to be an eternity
She flipped her head about fear flooding through her body and shaking her bones. Superstition quickly ran towards the exit but was quickly grabbed by the dark dragon. a screech escaped from her throat as the sword went up to her throat. she could feel the blade touching her neck.
the sounds of loud creaking came from the hallway. emerged running into the bedroom, multiple bodyguards, and a dragoness wearing a crown of deep and twisted roots. 
"let my daughter go you fiend," The Dragoness said a growl in her voice.
"MAMA" Superstition yelled but her mouth quickly covered.
The assassin stared at the crowd that had built. the guards pulled out their spears growling stepping very slowly. 
"one step closer and the princess is dead," the assassin said. 
the guards stopped their advance and turned to their queen. "what should we do Twisted" they asked
She looked up and at the assassin, a rage.. a mother's rage burning in her eyes. "let the dragon go we will find a way to get her back" she said. and looked at her daughter's sympathy in her eyes. the dragon picked her up and opened the window and flew away.
Superstition looked back at her home and stared at her mother mourning over her sister's loss.
==Chapter 1: Hollow==
she ran through the tunnels, no no no no I don't want to be late she thought
Hollow took a right turn, then looking for the right cave hole. 8 dragons lived there so they have quite a few rooms in their home. mostly for bedrooms and training rooms. she rammed into a dead end.
"ow," she said and rubbed her nose.
Hollow stood up and shook her head Deep is going to kill me she thought panicked
she stood up and went through the nearest cave door, she breathed with relief Deep stood in the cave door, tapping on the stone waiting for her with a sense of annoyance. he looked up and saw the autumnwing and sighed.
"your late," he said
she nodded, hiding her panic oh no he is going to kill me
"grab one of the weapons you see and we will begin," he told her
Hollow nodded and quickly picked up the closest thing to her. nothing, she flipped her head to see what she was supposed to grab and saw nothing. Hollow started freaking out, she was horrible at unarmed combat. Hollow could hold her own in a fight with weaponry but without it. she is pretty much doomed
"I see you have chosen your talons," Deep said "then we will do unarmed fighting today"
Hollow sighed and got into position. Deep stood as if he was waiting, it was a deep and long silence, Hollow felt tense and alert waiting for her guardian to make a move. Deep shook his head and leaped at her, she prepared dodged this attempt but he grabbed her tail. she turned around and tried to get on his back, but to no avail. she struggled and grabbed Deep's arm. he quickly responded by letting go and almost throwing her off of his arm.
she shook her head, Hollow was already very tired and took very deep breaths. Deep stood "I guess I need to teach you something before we do this again" he grunted and sat down. 
"sit Hollow" he ordered. she quickly sat down, Hollow knew if she didn't listen to him she would be in a lot of trouble. 
"now let's say you are in a village alright. and you are taking a shortcut through an alley and you are ambushed what do you do?" he asked
Hollow thought "uh run away?" she finally said
Deep put his talons to his face a look of disappointment. "no that is only if you start losing the fight. you try to take down the biggest that will make the others afraid"
"but im not strong enough" She responded
He shook his head. "well then distract them and run" he said
She nodded. Deep dismissed her to go to lunch and sat down alone.
Hollow flew into the meeting room. she ran towards a tree, it was the largest tree she had seen in her life, inside its branches seemed to be three dragonets of her size.
"Hey guys!" she called to them
==Chapter 2: Spaniel==
The summerwing sat in the tree waiting for the last of his friends to come by for lunch.
"Where in all might glaciers is that autumnwing," the winterwing next to him said.
"Be patient Weasel, Deep probably is making her stay longer", Spaniel said.
Weasel shrugged "that doesn't mean she has to. I mean when im told to stay behind with that piece of bark, I run for the hills" he said
Spaniel heard the sounds of talons hitting the stone, he looked down and saw the autumnwing. "Hey guys!" she said.
"told you" Spaniel whispered to Weasel.
Weasel grunted and hit him lightly on the back of his head.
Another of the dragonets in the tree leaped down from the tree and greeted Hollow. the girls smiled and climbed up the tree. they sat down on a branch together and looked at the boys. 
"soo Spaniel how was Pop's class," a Springwing said.
"Thank you, Lotus for asking, it was good. She mostly told me about spirit trees" 
Weasel laughed. "what is the difference between a spirit tree and I don't know spirit mouse?" he asked sarcastically, "nothing! that's what"
Lotus looked a little insulted. "actually kinda a big difference. the name yes sounds stupid but really it isn't, when a dragon dies and becomes one with a tree it means they have lived a grounded life mostly staying in one place, a spirit that merges with a mouse is one that lives like a mouse small and fast, and nervous like one" she said.
Weasel looked at Lotus, he opened his snout and then shut it seemingly recognizing that probably would be a good idea to not contest with Lotus. Spaniel grinned. 
a summerwing whisked into the room. "guys here's lunch" she said and put down a few cows and some vegetables. the dragonets instantly leaped down from the tree, Spaniel went up to the Summerwing "thank Pop for lunch" he said. 
She nodded and went out of the room "remember to share your knowledge" she said to them as she left. 
"shall we share our teachings" Lotus requested
Weasel groaned "you're becoming more like Pop and Burrow every day" he complained
Hollow nodded to Lotu's request. Spaniel also nodded, Weasel just sat eating his cow.
Lotus sat down, "Burrow told me about something that apparently scholars believe there are possibly more continents in this world we live in," she said
"That sounds so weird, imagine do they have dragons on them too?" Hollow asked Lotus. 
"probably if this world is habitable probably there are more dragons" Lotus answered.
Spaniel took those words to thought what would other dragons be like
Weasel instead of normally contesting nodded, seeming interested. this came to a surprise to most of the dragonets in the room. Weasel shrugged "May taught me how to find. what was it?" he said. he never really remembered these things
"I did unarmed combat," she said with a sigh. "by the end I think Deep was so disappointed that instead of continuing the fight he just talked to me about WHAT to do in a fight" she added
oh that is bad. last time she did unarmed combat, Hollow ended up in the medics cave he thought.
after finishing their food. Spaniel sat up and looked to the others "see you guys after our tribe lessons" he said
Weasel nodded and turned to Hollow "yeah good luck with the great beast"
She nodded and ran out, Lotus behind her.
Spaniel walked out and ran towards Pop's study.
Chapter 3: Weasel
as the winterwing walked out on lunch he started heading towards Burrow's cave, Weasel looked around the cave, examining the cave walls and ceilings searching for something. searching for a way out
all his life he has hated it here, not because of the enclosed space. that would make no sense, it was the rules and his destiny. he hated the idea that he would have to do something so large all on his own with three others. 
Weasel stopped when came upon the small library belonging to Burrow. he whisked on in and saw the winterwing reading waiting for the dragonet's arrival.
he looked up from his book and looked at Weasel, "come here sit down" he said
Weasel walked over and sat down, he looked at the winterwing. Burrow has said nothing at this point. Weasel was confused
"what are you doing?" he asked
Burrow said nothing. a silence settled between them. Weasel started getting frustrated, he stood up and started leaving the room. 
"This is my point," Burrow said, Weasel, stopped and turned around. 
"What do you mean "it is your point" " he asked
"come over here and I will tell you," he said
Weasel groaned and dropped down, and looked at Burrow.
"you have to calm down and be patient," Burrow said.
"if you continue this way, your destiny will be different. more suffering may come to you from your impatience and anger" He said.
Weasel looked at him. "I am who I am and you can't change that," he said a tone of anger in his voice
Burrow looked straight into his eyes as if he was burrowing into them "im not" he said. "you're dismissed" he added
Weasel stood up and stormed out of the library and to the sleeping chambers. 
he can't tell me that, im who I am. and nothing can change that he thought
Chapter 4. Lotus
She sat in the greenhouse. cave? she didn't really know but all she knew was that it was beautiful. filled with trees and flowers of all kinds, from what she heard it was enchanted by an animus from the temple to grow under the mountain.
She was listening to May, her teacher. she taught them about healing and many other things. a cold feeling surged through her body suddenly, Lotus looked up not moving her head but her eyes. up top was a ghost-like springwing giggling.
"Hey Lotus!" the strange dragon said.
"not now Cherry" she snapped quietly. May looked towards her from the board, showing a diagram of a springwing.
"what is it?" May asked, her voice filled with annoyance. She was unique compared to the dragonets and guardians in the cave, she didn't believe in spirits. it's a strange thing that the dragonets talk about from time to time, about how she was in the temple and why she is here. it is unknown.
"im sorry it's nothing" She responded giving Cherry a look. Cherry giggled and charged into a cherry tree. 
Lotus looked at May who was just about to wrap up the lesson.
"and this is why some dragons are Lightclaws" she finished and looked at Lotus "you're dismissed".
Lotus stood up and ran out of the cave, she started running towards dinner. unlike lunch which for the dragonets was private time, the guardians ate with them during dinner. asking them what they learned from their lessons that day to make sure that they listened. 
she entered the dining room, most of the guardians were there. Weasel seemed to have just arrived. she quickly slid next to her friend and sat down. Cherry floating nearby sat next to her.
"so how have ya been," Cherry asked. she kinda giggled a little bit.
Cherry to Lotus was a little annoying. she was annoying in a few ways, Cherry would mess with her a little bit during classes. and she didn't know much about her, how she died, and how she is not with an animal or tree. Lotus always wondered. 
Hollow ran inside and slid into her place next to Lotus. Cherry kinda smashed into sorta floated upward and looked down on the autumnwing.
"rude," she said simply and floated around the room.
Lotus kinda giggled as Spaniel entered the room and sat next to Hollow. Deep cleared his throat and turned to Burrow. 
"will you tell the dragonets the news?" he asked. Burrow nodded and stood up
"tomorrow Brussels is coming for a visit. to see your skills and to see how you are all doing" He announced. 
The dragonets looked surprised. they looked at each other, the only time Brussels had come to see them was at birth, he watched the birth and stayed for four days and left.
Lotus was feeling strange about it. she felt excited the head priest of all the spirits! but nervous that he would consider her unworthy. she shivered. Cherry above was floating about and looked down at her 
"so what do ya think?" she asked. she floated near her muzzle so she could whisper to the spirit.
"weird I will talk to you later" Lotus whispered.
Cherry nodded and floated away from the springwing into the next room. they ate dinner in mostly silence, multiple attempts at breaking the ice were made. none of them worked.
Lotus finished her food and looked towards the guardians "may I go?" she asked. the guardians nodded.
She stood up and walked to her cave and went to sleep. sleeping dreamless dreams waiting for the next night.
Chapter 5: Hollow
Hollow woke up in dark forest filled with mist and dead trees. unlike most dragons would probably feel in such a spooky place she felt kinda at home. Hollow wandered around this forest, her mind wandered wondering where she was. 
suddenly a twig snapped. she flipped her head behind her, a large dragoness was behind her. dark grey with features similar to those of a Winterwing but features from something else. she had not recognized, her body tensed up.
the dragoness smirked and pulled out a spear. Hollow's body went into a prey like state, she turned around and ran as fast as she could. her feet felt like rocks heavy and cold. 
the dragoness was catching up to her, Hollow tried to fly but her wings seemed to be weighed down. she looked to see her wings and nothing was. as she was looking the dragoness had went closer. she ran but quickly was tackled.
The dragoness pointed the spear towards her eyes, Hollow closed her eyes and tried to block the blow.
Hollow burst awake, hyperventilating. she looked around, same old cave. she breathed hard.
"just a nightmare" she whispered to herself.
Hollow stood up and shook her head. she took a deep breath and went to meet her friends. she looked behind her and stared into the shadows as if she thought the dragoness was still their.
she turned into the room where they usually meet. the dragonets were looking at Lotus approaching the tree very slowly.
"Hey what's going on?" she asked. 
almost as she said that Weasel dashed towards her and shut her mouth. 
"Lotus is trying to talk to the spirit in that tree" he said.
The topic was a little weird to talk of. they knew their was a spirit in the tree but all they knew is that it was a dude, summerwing, and HATED being talked to. Lotus has tried a few times. this time they seem to have a conversation going.
Hollow instantly shut up and watched the scene. this probably would be the most boring thing for a dragonet especially three of them to watch but how much is their to do under a mountain with no way out.
the conversation seemed to have started off a little rough as Lotus seemed to be saying sorry a lot. but eventully seemed to smooth out. Lotus kinda did a nod and walked towards the dragonets. instantly the dragonets excluding Spaniel. (we shouldn't crowd her. he said) Weasel especially. she answered most of them.
the Guardians soon entered the room. Pop was the first to say anything
"soo what is going on here?" she asked. 
"She talked to the spirit in the tree!" Weasel blurted. 
May seemed to have mumbled something. Burrow gave her a look and looked back at the dragonets.
"so I was right!" Pop exclaimed and turned to Deep. he signed
"later". He responded.
"well you must prepare!, Brussels is expecting you guys to look your very best" Pop explained.
"and be your very best. at everything" Deep added.
Hollow gulped. why am i sure that was directed to me? she thought
The guardians and the dragonets came to the entrance. Hollow looked at Weasel, he looked like he had a plan, so did Spaniel and Lotus. She definitely did not have a plan.
They sat in wait. the dragonets quickly making themselves look decent, except Weasel. they heard quick and deep wingflaps. Hollow started feeling very nervous. 
the door opened up to a kinda small priest. sided by a two large Winterwings, Weasel kinda laughed.
"What is so funny Weasel" Deep asked him.
"HE IS SO SMALL" he laughed "I THOUGHT HE WOULD HUGE" 
Brussels the small priest looked at the winterwing. the summerwing ran at him almost at lighting speed and tackled him. Weasel tried to get up, he kicked Brussels stomach. but nothing budged.
Brussels got off of him. "has spirit i see" he said as Weasel brushed himself off.
He looked at Spaniel, who was just sitting looking around. "hm we will see about this one" Brussels said
He came upon Lotus,  who sat very still almost like a statue. when he came round she bowed. "ah this must be Lotus. you see spirits to i believe" 
She nodded. "yes i do"
"well that is good that im not the only one" he commented with a smile.
He looked at the shivering autumnwing. 
She gulped. He stepped over and looked at her "so what do you do?" he asked. "Weasel has spirit, Spaniel seems to be very polite, and Lotus can see ghosts. what do you do?"
She sat their. and pondered the question. "i don't know" she finally admitted.
Brussels sighed. and went to talk to the other guardians.
The dragonets sat alone for a minute with the winterwing guards. the silence ripped t
