“You said we meet here right?” Lightshade said.
“Correct…” Bloodmoon replied. “Why do you think I’m here then?”
“I don’t know!” Lightshade exclaimed.
“Friends of mine are so dumb… I HATE every single minute I spend of my life with you.”
“Oh… For that, I’m miserably sorry. I apologize.” Lightshade said.
“Save your apology,” Bloodmoon said. “Know what? Just shut up!”
“Might I have the right to know why we are standing at the edge of a great cliff above the ravaging ocean?” Lightshade said knowledgeably.
“Hm… I know. Because of secret reasons?!” Bloodmoon stated. “And the way you’re using words looks like you’ve hit a tiny sliver of smart.” 
“Anyways… I am here to discuss a few matters. About our long-lived friendship. Okay?” Bloodmoon said.
“Alright!”
A cold wind hit Bloodmoon’s face. Why am I doing this? He questioned himself. I don’t want to do this! Why I ask myself again, why would I do this to my best friend? It doesn’t matter what happens to him. It only matters what happens to me.
This cold wind reinforced that he is cold-hearted. Nothing else. He sighed.
“Woah! It’s really cold today? Right?”
“Yes, just like my cold heart,” Bloodmoon muttered.
“What?” Lightshade questioned.
“That was nothing.”
“Nothing? Okay…” Lightshade replied, a little suspicious of Bloodmoon.
“Terms and Conditions,” Bloodmoon said in an unusually deep voice as he pulled out a scroll.
“YOU, as a friend of mine, Lightshade, shall not have a right to hurt me. After any large argument, we stay away until everything is resolved. Know what? I never exactly enjoyed reading, so you can read the scroll.” Bloodmoon threw the scroll at Lightshade, who managed to catch it.
Lightshade started to read.
“It’s been a while!” Bloodmoon said.
“One last sentence! Alright! I comply with the terms and conditions!” Lightshade said. “But, it doesn’t have anything to do with you not hurting me!”
“Exactly,” Bloodmoon said in a cold voice.
“What’re you saying?” Lightshade said in a shaky voice.
Bloodmoon growled and proceeded to try and push Lightshade into the ocean.
“I thought we were friends!” Lightshade shouted.
“Shut up, imbecile!” Bloodmoon snapped.
Lightshade growled. “I never wanted to do this!” 
Lightshade mustered all of his power and almost threw Bloodmoon off the cliff.
Bloodmoon got up, grabbed Lightshade’s tail, and jumped back down.
They plunged into the depths of the ocean.
Lightshade managed to float up, and he checked on Bloodmoon who was still underwater.
“NOOOO!!! YOU HAVE BETRAYED MEEEE!” Bloodmoon said in a muffled voice. “You. WILL. PAY. THE. PRICE!!”
“I won’t betray you, you might have betrayed me, but I will never go against you.” Lightshade went back inside the water, trying to save his friend, Bloodmoon. He was not a SeaWing, so didn’t get close at all. 
Lightshade washed up on the shore after some time. 
“I-I’m a murderer! I have killed my best friend! What am I going to do without him!” Lightshade started to cry.
“Hey,” A SeaWing who was emerging from the ocean said. “Is something wrong?”
“I… uh killed my best friend. Accidentally. I’m a murderer! We dropped into the ocean a-and…” Lightshade choked.
The SeaWing sighed. “Don’t talk about it if you don’t want to. By the way, my name is Atlantis.”
“Alright, Atlantis.”                                               
                                               
                                               
== Chapter 1 ==
                  Bloodmoon
He was thrown onto the shore by the waves. Sounds of the sea filled his ears. He hated it. He rubbed his burning eyes. It felt like a ton of sand had been thrown into his eyes. The smell of salt stuck in his nose.  He looked at his sand-covered talons.
“What was I thinking? Why would I try to kill my best friend?” He sighed.
He got up, but he didn’t know where his destination would be. He started walking away from the sea. He had almost drowned, and that was entirely his fault. He had somehow survived the rough ocean. He needed to start looking for his friend. 
“Lightshade?”
There was no response, except for the sounds of sea life and the ocean.
“Who am I even talking to? The answer is clear. My friend has left without me or he washed up somewhere else.” 
The air around him started to cool down. Then, a slight breeze came to visit. The slight breeze became a strong breeze eventually. Bloodmoon didn’t know why he was just standing there, doing nothing. He kept looking up at the sky, waiting for rain. The first drops of rain hit his snout. This activated him and he ran to find shelter. He found a small cave and he decided to reside there until the storm stopped. He saw a bolt of lightning strike right in front of the cave. He sighed. He lay down and closed his eyes. In a few minutes, he had already fallen asleep. When he woke and he realized the storm had only gotten worse.
It looked like trees were about to snap in half. For some stupid reason, Bloodmoon decided to step out. The wind was almost blowing him away, and the rain was harsh. He took a deep breath and tried to fly. That was a complete failure since the wing was strong to fly in. He decided he would walk instead, still very stupid of him. A bolt of lightning just missed him by a few inches.
“Wait. Why am I out here? Lightshade would have never let me do this. I need some sense knocked into me.”
He rushed back to his little cave, waiting for the storm to stop.
Have I lost my alliance with Lightshade? I tried to kill him, out of unexplainable anger. What’s wrong with me?  Bloodmoon thought. He’s a good friend, but now I’ve seen his bad side, I no longer want to be with him. But, he might still care about me. I just need hope. Maybe, somehow, we’ll reunite. But I don’t know where, or what kingdom I’ve washed up on. 
“Hm. Maybe I could get something to eat. Wait, there’s a storm! How long will this storm last? I’m starving here!”
The sound of rain and wind accompanied him.
“Guess I have to suffer…” He groaned.
== Chapter 2 ==
  Lightshade
 “Atlantis? You think my friend might be alive, somehow?” Lightshade questioned.
“Light, he drowned. His name was… Bloodmoon?” Atlantis responded. “There’s no chance he survived. Just move on.”
“Yeah. Great emotional support, Atlantis! You helped me overcome my best friend’s death!” Lightshade said.
“Well, thank you!”
“I was being sarcastic,” Lightshade said, annoyed. “Okay?”
“Me too,” Atlantis replied. “Lightshade, don’t you get it?”
“Oh. Okay then. Bloodmoon was an amazing friend, sure we’ve had our disagreements, but	 I didn’t want him to die!” Lightshade said.
“Lightshade, you need to cope with it. Bloodmoon’s dead!”
“I guess you’re right, Atlantis. He did try to kill me, but I ended up killing him! Hah!” Lightshade laughed.
“Now you’re laughing about his death? Lightshade, is there something wrong with you?”
Lightshade slowly turned his laughter into crying. 
“I MISS BLOODMOON!! EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH ME!” Lightshade replied.
Atlantis sighed. “You’ll get over it, you’ll make new best friends!”
“But Bloodmoon was my friend since I was three! I’m twelve years old now!”
“Oh nine years, that's a lot. It’s the same amount of years I’ve been alive! So, it’s not that easy to cope with. Do you feel any remorse?” Atlantis replied.
“A lot!” Lightshade cried.
“Listen, Lightshade, he might be alive! Might! Okay? Want to find him? But, I have to tell you, he might have washed up in another kingdom. We are technically on the outskirts of the SkyWing Kingdom, so chances are, he’s in the SkyWing Kingdom!” Atlantis stated.
“I’m pretty sure that is reasonable,” Lightshade said. “And when I find him, I’m going to beat him until he gets a hemorrhage!”
“Dark, I thought you were friends with him, and please don’t beat him up. Violence is not my thing.” Atlantis said. His tone of voice pointed out that he was afraid.
“Calm down, I won’t kill him, I’ll just inflict pain on him!” Lightshade said.
“Okay, now I seriously think you need help,” Atlantis said, terrified. “Right now.”
“You’re not wrong,” Lightshade said. “Even I think I need help!” 
Lightshade started to cry even more.
“Oh, come on!” Atlantis roared. “We will find him! Don’t cry!”
Lightshade stopped crying, surprised by the tone of Atlantis’s voice.
“Sorry,” Atlantis said after a while. “I don’t need you to cry right now.”
Lightshade sighed. “I’ll go get us some food, I’m sure you want fish. Or something.”
“Fish is fine.” 
“Got it!” Lightshade said confidently.
Lightshade flew over to the ocean. Lightshade jumped in and started looking for any fish. He was able to catch enough fish for both of them to eat since Lightshade was too tired to catch any prey for himself.
“Six fish? Impressive!”
Lightshade took three of the fish and cooked them with his fire. Lightshade observed as Atlantis ate them raw.
“Disgusting!” Lightshade said.
“SeaWings eat fish raw, so what?” Atlantis replied.
“Why would someone eat something raw?” Lightshade asked.
“SeaWings just prefer raw food. Alright?”
“Let me just enjoy my fish, Atlantis please.” Lightshade begged. 
Lightshade shoved a whole fish in his mouth and started to chew.
“Ho-Know what? I’m just going to eat.” Atlantis said, shocked.
Lightshade swallowed. “That was difficult.”
Atlantis turned away and started to eat his food.
What’s wrong with him? Lightshade thought.
== Chapter 3 ==
Atlantis
Atlantis had made a new friend, Lightshade. He was annoyed by Lightshade excessively. He didn’t know how anyone could deal with him for nine years! He was finally starting to understand why Bloodmoon wanted to kill Lightshade. 
“Atlantis. What do we do if it gets dark outside?” Lightshade questioned.
“Please, no. No. No conversations now.” Atlantis requested.
“Fine!” Lightshade said, offended.
“Lightshade, we need a place to reside. For now. Unless we’re only going to suffer.”
“Not!” Lightshade declared.
“What do you even mean?” Atlantis asked.
“I’m a SandWing! I generate heat!” Lightshade explained.
“Oh right. But how do we keep warm?” Atlantis interrogated.
“Huddling up?” Lightshade said.
“I’ll just go find a cave and get something to burn. For me.”
He looked at a tree. This tree is perfect. Then he realized, he had no shortcut. If he had no fire, he couldn’t just burn the starting of a branch and snap it off.
“Lightshade, I’m going a little bit further than you can keep an eye on me okay?.”
There was no response.
“Light? Oh, come on!”
Atlantis flew over to a place with a lot of trees. He landed, looking for any fallen branches. He picked up a few branches and snapped them in half, one by one.
“This should do! Now for the cave…”
He roamed the area, hoping there would be a cave. After a while, he did find a large cave.
“LIGHTSHADE!!” he shouted at the top of his lungs.
“WhHAaaAT!!!!” Lightshade’s voice replied.
“MEET ME AT THE MOUNTAIN-LIKE THING!!” Atlantis shouted.
“GoOOT YOUuUU!!” 
Lightshade was able to find his way to Atlantis, and then proceed to start looking for the cave. 
“The cave’s to your right!”
“What?” Lightshade said, confused.
Atlantis sighed and turned Lightshade’s head toward the direction of the cave.
“Hey! Careful! You’re going to snap my neck! Oh, there’s the cave.”
Lightshade flew inside the cave, surprised by how vast it was.
“Atlantis come in! It’s so cool in here! And bring the wood so you can stay warm.”
Atlantis said nothing and just flew into the cave. He kept the wood in the middle of the cave. Then he started looking at Lightshade, Atlantis was expecting something from him.
“Can you not look at me like that?” Lightshade requested.
“THE FIRE! YOU IDIOT!” Atlantis shouted, annoyed.
“Oh, right,” Lightshade said.
Lightshade took a deep breath and set the wood on ablaze with his fire. Atlantis reached out for the warmth of the fire.
“I can sing some song.” Lightshade offered.
“Go on,” Atlantis said.
“Okay. Okay.” Lightshade cleared his throat. “OH, THE DrAAAAAAAaaaaAAAGoooOOOOONEEEEEeeTSs ARE COOooooMING!!”
“OW! STOP THAT NOW BEFORE YOU DESTROY MY EARS!” Atlantis said as he covered his ears.
“But why? I’m trying my best!”
“Your best is worse than my worst,” Atlantis said.
“Oh. Sorry.”
“How about real singing?” Atlantis asked. “Oh, the dragonets are coming, they’re coming to save the day, they’re coming to fight, for they know what's right. That’s all I can remember of that dumb song! No need to sing stupid songs like this!”
“I am genuinely surprised by your singing!” Lightshade replied. “We’re 16 years into the war. Correct?”
“YES! Any friends that I have are SO dumb!” Atlantis growled.
“HEY! You copied Bloodmoon!”
“See?! I DIDN’T EVEN MEET HIM, IMBECILE!” Atlantis roared.
== Chapter 4 ==
Bloodmoon 
The storm had stopped, and Bloodmoon was still starving. He was also freezing, thanks to the rain and cold wind. He couldn’t go out anyway. The ground was all slippery, and he wouldn’t risk falling. He noticed a flock of birds fly overhead, and he decided he would catch a few to eat.
He flew over to where the birds were, and he easily caught some of the flock for him to eat. 
“Oh, look a feast!” He said as he roasted the birds. 
He wasn’t sure what kind of bird these birds were. But he was pretty sure they were migrant birds.
He started to eat them, slowly. The taste seemed a bit off, but he wasn’t complaining. He hadn’t had food for at least two weeks. This was his choice, he liked to eat occasional large meals.
The strange taste only got worse as he kept eating.  But, he managed to finish all of the birds, despite the taste. He chewed up their bones and threw most of the remains out of his cave. He turned the other ones into a pile of ash.
“I hope today there will be blood moons, not just the regular ones. I don’t know why the day I hatched couldn’t have normal moons! Why do I only get power on days with blood moons?! But, I’ll consider this. I’m the most powerful NightWing alive on those occasional days. Maybe I’m enchanted to only have powers on these special days.”
He looked at the grey sky. He was waiting for the sky to clear. He wanted to sky to be blue because then he knew it wouldn’t be as cold as a grey sky. He wasn’t doing anything, just waiting. He watched as the sky got darker. He flew out looking for blood moons. He was feeling more powerful so he guessed there were blood moons-or it could be the food. But this didn’t feel like the power he would get from food, it was immense power. 
“THERE!” He said as he spotted the blood moons. “I get power today!” Bloodmoon said as he tried to connect to anyone’s mind. To control them. Read them, and speak to them telepathically, to convince them to do anything he asks of them. He already got connected to someone.
This tastes like ash! Why is he so dumb? Can’t roast anything! This was a SkyWing, he suspected, around eight. The SkyWing's name was Khuiten. He knew there was another SkyWing near Khuiten, so he tried to connect to that SkyWing. Nothing, just an endless void. He couldn’t read that SkyWing’s mind, but some information did leak. His name was Acatenango, and he was nine. He spoke to Khuiten, mentally.
Come here. Khuiten. 
Who is this? How are you doing this?
YOU don’t ask questions. Come here, or die now.
I’ll do what I want.
Bloodmoon was able to connect and bring Khuiten where he was. It was difficult. He didn’t have much time, the night was short.
“Find Lightshade the SandWing.”
“Yes, your Majesty.” The SkyWing replied.
“Don’t call me ‘Majesty’ instead call me Bloodmoon, King of Power.” Bloodmoon growled.
“Your wish is my command,” Khuiten said with no emotion.
Even though he said this, Khuiten did not move.
“Hold on, I’m an animus too on days with blood moons. Right? I think so, and they only last a week, if it’s a long-term spell. Okay, let me try.  I command Khuiten to follow all my orders for as long as my power allows. I also Lightshade must feel pain whenever I want.  I command everyone I meet to be loyal to me, and who will die for me as long as Khuiten lives.” He said. “Lightshade will pay for trying to kill me. He deserves to no longer live, the issue is I can’t try to kill my friend all over again. But, I can inflict pain on him.”
“You shall find him crying out in pain, Bloodmoon, King of Power,” Khuiten said.
“Good.” He said, already feeling corrupt from the three spells he cast. “I better not find him dead though!” He snarled. 
A sudden message hit his mind. 
Take too much atavantage of your power, and you shall have no power at all, I have given this power to you. You can’t use the power only for your benefit. Help others too. UNDERSTOOD?
He hated these messages. He didn’t know who gave the. Presumably, it was the one who enchanted him. But he still wasn’t sure about the enchantment part.
== Chapter 5 ==
Khuiten
I follow only Bloodmoon. No one else. My commander, I look up to. I  will do what he asks me. I will only be loyal to him. He deserves my loyalty, anyone not loyal to my leader, will face the consequences. I show no empathy or sympathy to anyone but him. I will kill anyone for him. He controls me, I don’t, I am not my leader. I will starve if he makes me. I will do only what he says.
These were Khuiten’s thoughts for the moment. He was controlled against his will, if he showed his true thoughts, he’d be dead. He had to be careful about what he thought, or else he’d have no part of him that isn’t controlled, mentally. 
Bloodmoon was forcing him to find Lightshade. He didn’t want to. He didn’t even care about that SandWing. 
He wanted help. He didn’t have any of that special rock to protect him. He thinks it was called skyfire. He wasn’t sure it would work on this NightWing. This one could control his thoughts and movements. He knew this wasn’t normal for NightWings. He knew that he should obey every command.
“Khuiten, as my servant, find someplace that has water.” Bloodmoon requested. 
“There is always the ocean,” Khuiten stated.
“A PLACE WITH DRINKABLE WATER!” Bloodmoon roared. “YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE SO DUMB!!”
“Oh. Well, in that case, there's a big lake somewhere around here. Follow me!”
Khuiten was planning to drown this dragon. He wanted to be free again.
I hope he drowns.
“You do know that I can read your thoughts. Right?”
“Oh shoot, yes. I’m sorry!” 
Khuiten flew to the lake and made sure Bloodmoon followed him.
“Drinkable water is here,” Khuiten said.
“I’m not going to thank you,” Bloodmoon said.
