Wings of Fire AU

This AU is a work in progress, it is not finished
I will update as much as I can
Sorry for any misspellings or grammar issues
Please do not edit! Thank you :-)
== Timeline ==
=== Dragonet Prophecy: ===
Continues pretty much the same as in the books, with the exception of the SkyWing egg surviving the fall. Her name is Hawk, and she has a similar personality to Glory’s.
=== Lost Heir: ===
Similar, except Auklet’s egg hatched with twins, Auklet and Seagull, both female. Seagull **spoiler alert!** turns out to be an animus.
=== Hidden Kingdom: ===
Very different, at least in the beginning. They meet Glory in the rainforest, she has almost exactly the same personality as in canon. She becomes their friend, and the rest of the book continues similarly.
=== Dark Secret: ===
Similar, except Glory and Starflight don’t know each other as well. Fatespeaker is a slight prophet and mind reader, with occasional muffled thoughts breaking into her head from other dragon’s minds, and once in a while, a fuzzy prophecy. The NightWings agree to accept Glory as their queen, and the book ends normally, with Starflight losing his sight.
=== Brightest Night: ===
Fairly similar, but more different than most of the others. With the addition of, of course, Hawk. Sunny finds an abandoned orangy baby SandWing dragonet (that turns out to be a Sand-Sky hybrid, though Sunny doesn't know that yet) and raises it, naming it Brightsand, and over the few weeks they get to know each other, the baby begins to think of Sunny as its mother. Fatespeaker willingly takes care of Brightsand while Sunny stops the war.
=== Moon Rising: ===
Moon has a strange plantlike dragon in her winglet (a LeafWing, though no one knows that yet) that was given the temporary name PlantWing, though the name became more permanent as more “PlantWings,” infants to four-year-olds, mysteriously drifted in on the sea and washed up on Pyrhhian beaches. The “PlantWing’s” name is Calla, and she is shy and friendly, like Moon. Calla has no idea where she came from or who her family is. Qibli suspects that she (before he knew that they were washed up on the beach) is a result of crossbreeding – maybe a RainWing that had eaten some sort of unusual plant mixed with ... a SandWing? SkyWing? He isn’t sure. Of course, none of these speculations turn out to be correct, as Calla is a LeafWing.
=== Winter Turning: ===
Similar, with the addition of Calla. Winter shows slight signs of affection towards the LeafWing.
=== Escaping Peril: ===
Also similar, with - again - the addition of Calla. Winter shows signs of affection towards Calla as well as Moon.
=== Talons of Power: ===
Turtle has another little sister, Seagull. Turtle decided to test his baby twin sisters for animus magic early, in secret, and realizes that Seagull is an animus. He makes her promise not to tell anyone.
=== Darkness of Dragons: ===
Again, similar with the addition of Calla, but a little more different than books 7, 8, and 9. The LeafWing helps Kinkajou formulate the plan to turn Darkstalker into Peacemaker, and makes him a small part LeafWing, giving him green and gold instead of silver underscales on his wings. When Moon chooses Qibli, Winter begins showing more affection to Calla, and she begins showing slight signs of affection towards him.
=== The Lost Continent: ===
Similar. Blue and Luna are full siblings, with the same mother, Burnet. Their father is still Admiral, and Luna is still a Flamesilk. However, Cricket has an older brother as well as her sister Katydid. His name is Tarantula.
=== The Hive Queen: ===
To be continued soon...
== Book 1: The Dragonet Prophecy ==
=== Prologue ===
A dragon was trying to hide in the storm.
Lightning flickered against the dark clouds. Hvitur clutched his fragile cargo closer to his chest. If he could make it over the mountains, he'd be safe. He'd escaped the sky dragons’ palace unseen. And the hidden cave was so close....
But his theft hadn't been as stealthy as he had thought, and eyes, black as obsidian, were already tracking him from below.
The enormous dragon on the mountain ledge had pale gold scales that radiated heat like the desert horizon. Her black eyes narrowed, watching the gleam of silver wings far up in the clouds.
She flicked her tail, and behind her two more dragons rose to the sky and dove into the heart of the storm. A piercing shriek echoed off the mountains as their talons seized the moon-pale dragon.
"Bind his mouth," the waiting dragon ordered as her soldiers dropped Hvitur on the slick, wet ledge in front of her. He was already inhaling, ready to attack. "Quickly!"
One of the soldiers grabbed a chain from the pile of smoldering coals. He threw it around the ice dragon's snout, clamping his jaws together with a sizzling smell of burning scales. Hvitur gave a muffled scream.
“Too late.” The sand dragon’s forked tongue slithered in and out of her mouth. “You won’t be using your freezing-death breath on us, ice dragon.”
"He was carrying this, Queen Burn," said one of the soldiers, handing her a dragon egg.
Burn squinted at the egg through the downpour. "This is not an IceWing egg," Burn hissed. "You stole this from the SkyWing palace."
The IceWing stared back at her. Hissing steam circled his snout where the hot chains met cold silver scales.
“You thought you got away unnoticed, didn’t you?” Burn said. "My SkyWing ally is not a fool. Queen Scarlet knows everything that happens in her kingdom. Her lookouts reported an IceWing thief sneaking away, and I decided finding you might add some violence to my boring visit."
Burn held the large egg up to the light of the fire and turned it slowly. Red and gold shimmered below the pale, smooth surface.
"Yes. This is a SkyWing egg about to hatch," Burn mused. "Why would my sister send you to steal a SkyWing dragonet? Blaze hates any dragon younger and prettier than she is." She thought for a moment as rain drummed on the ledge around them. "Unless ... the brightest night is tomorrow...."
Her tail flicked up like a scorpion’s, the poisonous barb inches from Hvitur’s eyes. "You're not in Blaze's army, are you? You’re one of those insipid underground peacemongers."
"You mean the Talons of Peace?" said one of the soldiers. "You mean they're real?"
Burn snorted. "A few worms crying over a little blood. Unwrap his chains. He won't be able to freeze us until his scales cool down." The enormous sand dragon leaned closer as her soldier pulled the chain away. "Tell me, ice dragon, do you really believe in that pompous old NightWing’s prophecy?"
"Haven't enough dragons died for your war?" snarled Hvitur, wincing at the pain in his jaws. "All of Pyrrhia has suffered for the last twelve years. The prophecy says–"
"I don’t care. No prophecy decides what happens to me," Burn interrupted. "I'm not letting a bunch of words or baby dragons choose when I die or what I bow to. We can have peace when my sisters are dead and I am queen of the SandWings." Her venomous tail dipped closer to the silver dragon.
Rain pattered on Hvitur’s scales. He glared up at her. "The dragonets are coming, whether you like it or not, and they’ll choose who the next SandWing queen should be."
"Really?" Burn stepped back and turned the egg slowly between her talons. "So, IceWing. Is this egg a part of your pathetic prophecy?"
Hvitur went still.
Burn tapped lightly on the eggshell with one long talon. “Hello?” she called. “Is there a dragonet of destiny in there? Ready to come out and end this big bad war?”
"Leave it alone," Hvitur choked out.
"Tell me," Burn said. "What becomes of your precious prophecy ... if one of the five dragonets is never hatched at all?"
"You wouldn't,” he said. “No one would harm a dragon egg.” His blue eyes were fixed desperately on her talons.
"No ‘wings of sky’ to help save the world,” Burn said. “What a sad, sad story.” She began tossing the egg from one front claw to another. “I guess that means you should be very, very careful with this terribly important little – oops!”
With an exaggerated lunge, Burn pretended the wet egg was slipping through her talons ... and then she let it fall over the side of the cliff into the rocky darkness below.
“No!” Hvitur shrieked. He threw off the two soldiers and flung himself toward the edge. Burn slammed her massive claws down on his neck.
“So much for destiny,” she smirked. “So much for your tragic little movement.”
“You’re a monster,” the IceWing gasped, writhing under her talons. His voice cracked with despair. “We’ll never give up. the dragonets – the dragonets will come and stop this war.”
Burn leaned down to hiss in his ear. “Even if they do – it'll be far too late for you.” Her claws ripped through the silver dragon’s wings, shredding them as Hvitur shrieked in agony. With a swift movement, she stabbed her poisonous tail through his skull and flung the long, silver body over the edge of the cliff, less than a minute after the egg.
The ice dragon's screams cut off long before the echoes of his corpse slamming into the rocks below.
The SandWing turned her black eyes to her soldiers. "Perfect," she said. “That should be the last we hear about that stupid prophecy.” She held out her talons so the rain could wash away the glistening dragon blood. "Let’s go find something else to kill."
The three dragons spread their wings and lifted off into the dark clouds.
Some time later, far below, a dragon the color of rust crawled over the rocks to the broken body of the ice dragon. She nudged aside one of his wings, which had flopped over his chest, and lifted the SkyWing egg, slightly cracked but otherwise unharmed, away from his body. Hvitur was heavier and therefore had fallen faster than the egg, somehow completely missing it in his fall, and had landed seconds before the egg dropped on top of him. The rust-colored dragon slipped back into the labyrinth of caves under the cliffs.
Stone walls brushed against her wings. She breathed out a plume of flame to light her way along the dark passage, deep into the mountain.
"I stand with the Talons of Peace," hissed a voice in the shadows. "Kestrel? Is that you?"
"We await the wings of fire," answered the red dragon. A blue-green SeaWing emerged from a side cave, and she gently passed the SkyWing egg to him. "Hvitur is dead."
The SeaWing stared at the egg. "Then - then how do you have the egg?"
"Hvitur's body cushioned it in its fall when they were both thrown over the side of a cliff," Kestrel answered. "I knew I should have stolen the SkyWing egg myself. I know the Sky Kingdom. They wouldn't have caught me a second time."
Webs grimaced, scratching one claw over the gills in his neck. "Asha is dead, too."
"Asha?" A spurt of flame shot from Kestrel's nose. "How?"
"Caught in a battle between Blaze's and Blister's forces on the way here. She still made it with the red MudWing egg, but she died of her wounds soon after."
"So it's just me, you, and Dune left to raise the little worms," Kestrel growled. "For a prophecy that is unlikely to ever be fulfilled. Let's break the cursed eggs now and be done with it. We'll be long gone before the Talons of Peace return for the dragonets."
"No!" Webs hissed. "Keeping the dragonets alive for the next eight years is more important than anything. If you don't want to be a part of that -"
"All right, enough," Kestrel snapped. "I'm the strongest dragon in the Talons of Peace. You need me. It doesn't matter how I feel about nasty little dragonets."
TO BE CONTINUED SOON!
