Mystified Fortunes

This is a rewrite of the discontinued fanfic Foresight. 
Base used to create the cover was made by Peregrinecella; the rendering was done by me.
== SUMMARY ==
Peace has been among the tribes for nearly fifty years. Easier access to and from the continents has been improving quickly nowadays. Prophecies haven't been delivered. There was no need for them, afterall.
But as noble dragons start to go missing, the tribe leaders begin to panic. Even dragons who despised the prophecies are practically desperate for any sort of plan to stop the foreboding threat from reaching the public eye.
Unfortunately for Mystify, this means that having ancient Clearsight's powers will make her life far more dangerous than even she could've foretold.
== TRIBAL LEADERS ==
IceWings: Queen Snowfall
MudWings: Queen Russet
NightWings: Queen Glory
RainWings: Queen Glory
SeaWings: Queen Anemone
SandWings: Queen Thorn
SkyWings: Queen Ruby

== THE MYSTIFIED PROPHECY ==
Magic will return
And the tribes will panic
While a gem starts to burn
Monarchs will become frantic
Darkness shall befall
While ice and wind maim
Something that once crawled
Waits to call its name
Power once forgotten
Magic briefly erased
And a land left to grow rotten
Will no longer be restrained
== PROLOGUE ==
The sun shined down on the waves, heating up the top surface of the water. The SeaWing swam vigorously through the currents, his tail swimming back and forth aggressively to keep a fast pace. His chest burned and his muscles ached but he couldn’t afford stopping. He was close to land by now. He could be found if he rested, even for just a few minutes. He couldn’t risk being caught.
So he swam on. His gills heaved and his eyelids started to fall. But he stayed determined to make it home. To make it to his wife and unborn dragonet.
He had traveled for days, never letting his body out of the water. He barely classified himself as a dragon anymore. He hadn’t eaten much. He only stopped for a little to eat before going onwards.
He had taken this path several times, he had it memorized. But he traveled it with his family and had way more breaks than he gave himself. His body had never felt so sore.
Finally, after swimming for days on end, he found the sand started to elevate, meaning he was getting closer to land. He breathed out a couple of bubbles of relief. He was almost home. He was almost safe.
He paused right before leaving the shore. He looked up at the sky, analyzing it for any dragons that could see him. When he found it empty, he slowly walked out of the water.
The sudden weight of gravity nearly knocked the dragon down into the sand. But he only stumbled for a few steps before continuing. He kept his head low and his perception sharp. He was so close; he couldn’t be caught now.
Just as he thought he was clear, a hiss erupted from behind him. His heart dropped and his breath hitched. His blood ran cold and his body stiffened. Hesitantly, he turned his head.
A large, bulky IceWing huffed, drenched in water, with claws gripping the sand under her. Her eyes were fierce as she scowled at him. The unusual magenta scales would’ve been admired if under different circumstances. 
Her mouth ripped her face into a smile. Her teeth were unnaturally sharp even for an IceWing. Her gaze stayed unmoving. She was hunting her prey.
The SeaWing couldn’t move. His heart thumped hard against his chest. His skull throbbed and his bones shook.
The IceWing took a slow step forward.
The SeaWing sprinted.
Grunts were heard behind him as he ran towards the rainforest. Four pairs of talons beat the sand rapidly. He could feel the cold from her scales growing closer to him. His ears started ringing and the edges of his eyes blurred. He couldn’t die. Not now. Not when he was so close.
He heard her mouth open and inhaled. Time slowed.
He lifted his tail and threw back down with a loud whack, spraying sand into the IceWing’s eyes. She yelled out in pain and stopped for a couple of seconds. That was all he needed to get enough distance between them.
The IceWing was quick to recover, for she was right behind him in the same time she had stopped. But they made it into the Rainforest. He would be safe soon.
Flies and ladybugs flew away from the leaves as the two dragons ran through the forest. Squirrels retreated back up the trees. Birds jumped back into their nests.
He kept running. His lungs burned and his muscles ached but he couldn’t stop now. He was too close. 
He could see smoke rising from a small clearing. He heard the IceWing behind him pause. He glanced up, seeing several floating blowdarts and ripples in the trees. He skidded to a stop once he made it through an arch of flowers and twisted to look at his attacker.
The IceWing growled lowly at the RainWings poised to attack if she took one more step forward. She looked back at the SeaWing, her eyes almost as sharp as her teeth. She narrowed her eyes and sulked back into the darkness of the forest.
He let out a relieved sigh before opening his wings and flying towards a small tree hut. 
It was a nice home. There were landing platforms along the base of the hut, decorated with numerous shells and flowers. Sealed jars of flame silk sat in multiple different spots around the abode, lighting it for the non-fire-breathing dragons living in it.
The SeaWing nearly collapsed as he entered the hut. A skinny RainWing with gold shimmering scales jumped when she heard his arrival. Her scales rippled as she prepared dinner. The gorgeous gold and pink became pale as she saw her mate.
“Turtle!” She screamed, immediately coming to his aide.
Turtle sat down heavily while his wife gripped his talons tightly. He leaned his forehead against hers, continuing to pant tiredly.
“Hi, Kinkajou,” he greeted. 
“What happened?” She asked worriedly. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
Turtle looked at her gently and smiled. “I’m okay,” he assured. “Queen Snowfall sent a warning letter to Anemone.”
Kinkajou frowned. “What do you mean?”
Turtle sighed and nuzzled her neck. He huffed instead of replying.
“Nothing to worry about, my dear,” he said gently.
The RainWing pursed her lips but didn’t press further. She wrapped her wings around him and twirled their tails around each other. Turtle hummed tiredly from her comfort.
“How’s the little one?” He asked suddenly.
Kinkajou lifted her head to look at him. She glanced over at a lilac egg sat cozy in a nest of large fern and palm leaves. She smiled fondly and rubbed her snout against Turtle’s head.
“They’re doing great,” she explained. “I’m so excited to be a mother I never had.”
Turtle smiled at her. He pressed his nose against hers.
“You’re going to do great,” he said gently.
Kinkajou beamed. They pushed their foreheads together, giggling. They were safe. He made it back to her. 
Hopefully, they could stay safe.
