==Part One: The Arrival==
STILL A MAJOR WIP!
A towering ship was sailing towards Pantala, Captain Antlion at the sail. It was majestic really, the massive wooden hull piercing the dark waves, and the great billowing white sail flapping in the wind. 
Captain Antlion looked heroic standing on the bow, the wind ruffling his black spines. He wore a worried expression, like he knew something was about to go wrong. Really wrong.
Bombadier was down below in the ships quarters. It was rocking and rolling on the heavy seas, and even though he wasn't weak stomached, he still felt sick. He decided to go above, it might be better out there.
He opened his wooden door and walked up the rickety stairs to the deck.
The air was misty with humidity, and the spring air was crisp and cool. A wave splashed across the starboard side, and drenched his speckled scales in salty brine. He flapped his wings, and rivulets of water trickled off.
"Great, just great." He muttered angrily. "I hate being wet."
The Captain was standing on the bow, being buffeted by the wind. Bombadier wondered who would want to do that.
He walked up beside the Captain, and gazed out at the sea ahead. No Pantala.
The only reason that he even went with this expedition was to find a place he could call his own. He didn't really plan about his future often, but when he heard about the offer, he felt that he should.
Bombadier turned his head to the sea again, just in time for a particularly large wave to splash in his face. He put his talons up to block it, and was surprised when he felt a fish in them. 
He grabbed, and the fish slapped him with it's tail. The wave had receded now, leaving the wriggling silver fish with the dragons.
Quickly, Bombadier slit its throat and laid it down on the deck. It was decent sized, about as big as a dragon egg. He gulped it down, grateful for the fresh prey instead of the awful dried meat in the hold.
He glanced around, trying to make himself accustomed to the other dragons on board.
A SilkWing sat up in the crow’s nest, high above the spray of the sea, but being buffeted by the howling winds. He watched the endless ocean churning as if it was angry.
Bombadier watched curiously as, he shuddered, looking away from the waves, and grimaced, presumably lost in thought. He then went back to drawing whatever he was drawing up there.
His antennae waved wildly in the wind, sensing even the smallest changes as he sat, and Bombadier could practically feel the thoughts he was thinking. The ones everyone was thinking. 
I hope we arrive soon. I hope there is something to arrive to. This trip had better be worth it. Because if it’s not... No, it has to be worth it.
Bombadier tore his gaze off of the dragon in the crows nest, and onto the one in the sky. Bombadier knew his name was Gale, he had overheard it from someone else
Gale flew ahead of the ship, scouting out ahead. His powerful rust colored wings kept flapping in a steady hypnotic beat, always flying a bit ahead, then turning back. He flew over to the crows nest, where the SilkWing was sketching.
"Hey Venus," He said, yelling over the growing wind. "Have you seen anything? Because I can't see anything but sea in any direction."
Ahh. So that's the SilkWings name. Venus. It has a nice ring to it. Bombadier thought.
Antlion stood at the ship’s wheel, watching the sea and sky. The HiveWing saw dark storm clouds on the horizon.
“There’s a storm coming! Make sure everything is tied down!” He called out to the crew.
Lightning walked along the deck and heard Antlion’s order. She looked around and tightened ropes, making sure nothing would blow away. She sensed the electricity in the coming storm.
“There’ll be thunder.” She told the captain, hoping he wouldn’t question how she knew.
Venus’ head snapped up from his drawing and he quickly leapt up, the ink nearly spilling before he caught it. Oh right, I’m supposed to be keeping a lookout. He quickly put it away, then looked left, then right, his brain working fast.
“STORM!” He yelled, fear in his eyes. “Storm!”
He shuddered, hopping onto one of the ropes and sliding down, Beach sitting on his head, gripping his horns.
Gale was anxious, and he flew erradically in the rapidly growing wind. Storm? I can't fly in a storm! Three moons, this is the worst luck ever.
He landed on the ship, already feeling a bit sick.
Venus thumped onto the ground, the key around his neck bumping on his sandy yellow scales. His wings beat nervously, his tail lashing as his claws dug into the wood of the deck. Beach awoke with a start, squeaking softly, his dark brown fur whipping around in the wind, which was quickly rising into a howl.
"Where's Antlion? He was right there!"
Gale struggled to hold onto the ship as strong winds whipped around him.
Antlion struggled to keep the ship going the right way.
“Steady, steady...”
The HiveWing’s tail lashed wildly, buffeted by the extremely strong winds. He squinted through the rain and saw the waves grow bigger and bigger, threatening to crush the ship.
Bombadier woke with a start. He heard a yell, and was thrown across his room. He yelped, and ran up to the deck to see chaos.
Dragons were sliding around everywhere, and the one in the crows nest was yelling. He gripped the floor with his talons as a wave splashed over the deck, drenching him. He looked around for the Captain, but couldn't see him at all. 
A flash of lightning streaked through the sky, and startled the dragon next to him, who was gripping onto the railing with his life. He looked a bit pale, his rust colored scales going whiter near his snout.
"Are you okay?" Bombadier asked him. "You look pale." He stuck out a talon for him to hold on to.
Gale laughs.
He looks at the multi-colored dragon.
"Of course I'm pale. Thanks Bombadier."
He takes the talon, and heaves himself up.
Venus was shaking like mad as he looked at the edge of the ship, the waves washing over the side. He could still see his mother, running towards the ropes, trying to hold one of the sails closed with that rope, before a wave washes her over the side as she vanished.
Shush Venus. It’s in the past. She knew what she was getting into. But it didn’t help as she stood on the deck, his tail lashing furiously. Beach could obviously sense his fear, because he hugged Venus’ horns tighter, trying to calm him down as best a scavenger could.
"Beach, I suggest you hold on as hard as you can. Things are about to get wild." Gale said in Scavenger.
The ship suddenly tossed in the storm. Gale flared his wings, trying to hold on.
"Your welcome." He dug his talons farther into the wood of the deck as another wave washed over him.
"Why are you so pale? I don't think that its your scale color. Do you get seasick?"

"Well, yes. I never liked staying on a ship. I like flying more than anything." He tried to bring his wings closer to himself, but failed.

Beach glanced up and tilted his head, his green eyes wide. He crawled down Venus’ neck as the SilkWing began tying things down, sitting in his leather pouch.
“I h-have n-not.” Venus stuttered. “M-maybe h-he’s b-below deck.”

"Have you been on a ship before? This is my first time." He stopped himself, realizing he was revealing too much to this dragon. He would end up blabbing like a happy RainWing until he had no secrets left. 
A memory came back, one that came back often. 
His father, a HiveWing, standing over him, telling him the words that he now  lived upon.
'Bombadier. You are a hybrid of the two most terrifying tribes upon this world. You will grow up to be strrong, secretive and brave. I don't want my son becoming the equivalent of a RainWing.'
He snarled that last word, and the memory faded into oblibion.
Another wave splashed onto Bombadier, but only around his talons and lower legs. 
He realized that the dragon asked him a question, and hastily answered. 
"No. I saw him this morning when I was on the bow looking around, but not since then."

(Antlion isn’t gone yet.)
The storm grew even bigger and the wind howled around the sails. A giant wave built up in front of the ship, growing bigger than any dragon ever thought was possible. It looked over the ship, suddenly crashing over the deck and almost sweeping everything away.
Lightning threw herself towards the railing, holding onto it with all her strength. She felt electricity building upon the clouds above and tried to direct it away from the ship, but a huge bolt of lightning hit the mast as the wave swallowed the boat.
Antlion tried to hold the wheel steady but it spun wildly, throwing off his talons. He dived for something to hold onto as the wave covered the ship, but was only able to get one hand around a rope. The force of the water violently tugged him away, carrying him away from the ship.

Gale looked up at the sky.
Was there a dragon up there?
He decided to try and see who they were.

He flared his wings, and jumped up. He struggled with the wind for a minute, and managed to get on the same level with the dragon.
Oh. It's Aurous.

Maybe Bombadier is more than he seems.
Bombadier glanced at him breifly, just long enough to catch his incredibly derpy expression after that bad pun, before replaced by a look of worry.
He gave a breif 'heh' that sounded crackled and high pitched. He visibly winced, before engaging in more important thoughts.
Is he on to me? Bombadier wondered anxiously. If he knows that I grew up a sickly orphan instead of a strong, independant dragonet, what will he think of me? A street rat clinging to a thought of happiness?
He shook his head, earning a concerned look from Gale. This conversation was getting awkward.
Bombadier gulped, and asked something he never thought he would ask. "Where did you grow up?" 
He had done this before, with mixed answers. Some were perfectly fine with answering, while others... well.. it didn't go over good.

When the wave hit, it had knocked Bombadier unconcious with its force, but his talons were embedded into the deck, so he stayed on.
He awoke with a burst of white hot pain, and screamed. Quickly, he pulled his front talons off the deck, and used them to pry his back talons out as well. 
He screamed again when he saw his ankles. One was hanging limply from his leg, and the other was in a gross position, sort of twisted backward. 
Bombadier let out another shreik of pain as a wave knocked them together. He fell to his stomach, and crawled to the door that led inside. He stopped outside, unsure of if to leave everyone here.
Many dragons were clamboring around, in obvious disarray, and he glanced up to see the mast cracked in two. 
He started to sob from it all, not stopping to remember his fathers words, and how dissapointed and angry he would have been to see his adult son crying.
Bombadier slowly walked down to his small quarters, not caring when the aggresive rocking boat smashed him into the walls.
He broke through the door, and collapsed on his bunk, pain and sadness worming into his dreams.

We can try to get the ship to shore, or we can fly to land and take what we can carry.”

Bombadier woke with a start at the screams.
He moaned in pain, remembering his ankles, and dragged himself up to the deck for the third time that day.
At the sight of Pantala, he nearly yelped, but a sunbeam fell on the ship, illuminating the sad, dejected dragons, and the shattered deck. 
Bombadier looked over the side, and saw a massive shark trying to eat him. He let out a yell of terror, and turned around, leaving the shark behind.
He saw a little dragonet sobbing beside a slim black dragoness about his age, and cautiously walked over to them, wincing every time he took a step. (Orca and Lightning)
He heard the dragoness anounce that they could stay or leave, and flinched. He didn't know if he could fly.
He knealt down beside the dragonet and spoke gently to her.
"Are you okay? Did something happen to you?"
Bombadier scanned her body, and could see no scratches or bruises.

The moment the wave crashed over the boat, Venus found himself getting pulled towards the edge. Help! He thought. I can’t end up like Mother!
His talons snagged on a rope and he gripped it with all his might, but he was still sliding. His back leg looked around a rope and he heard a sickening crack. Beach was shrieking, holding onto Venus’ horns with all his might. Venus finally pulled himself back up onto the deck, gasping with pain and spitting out water. He collapsed on the deck, his arms and legs shaking.
“What happened?” He said between gasps of fear and pain.

 Thrips hissed the moment she saw the ship in the distance. She didn’t mind the rain and the lightning, it was merely a fraction of her anger. But anger like she had never felt boiled up inside her when she spotted the ship.
Headed towards Pantala. If they think they’ll just waltz on in, they got another thing coming. She thought, grabbing a knife a running towards the beach.

He leapt off the ship and started soaring next to Bombarder. You can do this.

Bombadier shuddered. He had heard stories of plants that could eat dragons in one gulp, and didn't particularly want to come in contact with one.
He heard a squeak from the sand and saw that the dragonet had buried herself. He gently brushed the sand off her snout and lifted her out, setting her down beside the hole she had been.

Ali sees the commotion and hurtles back down to the beach. Wings spread, he steps in front of Orca. “Leave them alone.”
Bombadier hears the other dragon beside him, and glowers at him.
"I got this." He says, before re-thinking that.
"And thanks." He adds

Warrior Wasp flew to land next to Thrips. "You think you're so tough with your one stinger and some fire? HA! Listen pal; I've got stingers all over me. And the name isn't a coincidence. The warrior wasp has one of the most painful stings in the world, being described as being chained to an active volcano. So I'm not super intimidated by your threat."

The ground is kinda muddy so it doesn't immediately fall as she tunnels.

“Well, it would be nice if you didn’t die before I get to know why you’re here.” Ali shrugged, keeping his eyes fixed on Thrips.

Orca comes back up, flying into the air.
She scratches Warrior in the cheek, then goes falling back into her tunnel.

"We aren't invaders!" Lightning yells over the others chatter. The air around her crackles with electricity, and her glow patterns flash at almost full brightness. "I have to go back to the ship, if I come back and all of you are trying to kill each other I will be very, very, mad. Understand?" She says, and flies back to the ship.

Commodore pokes his tiny head out the barrel, only seeing a ship snapped in two. “Hewo?” He said quietly. “Mommy? Daddy?”

Bombadier can't handle two people talking to him at once, so he ignores them both.
He pulls Orca out of her sandy tunnel, and holds her close, whispering to her to stay put. He retracts his stinger, and walks forward, into the small forest next to the beach.

Orca digs a five foot deep hole and stays put therr, holding her breath.

The dragonet left a small, but not very deep, scratch on her face. Warrior Wasp smiled, amused. "My scales are basically armor, kid. Also, your claws won't fully develop for another month, by the looks of it. You're, what, a couple of months old?"

Bombadier turned back as Orca squirmed out of his talons and promptly dug another hole for herself. He sighed and stood between the hostile dragons and the dragonet. 
"Her name's not kid." He said, lashing his tail. "It's Orca, and you respect that."

The dragonet crawled out of the barrel, his tail swinging from side to side. “Hewo!” Commodore called again.

"Oh I will. If you respect that this is our territory, and we won't let you settle it again!! We're already living here, and we're just fine without you Pyrrhians ruining our way of life!!" Warrior Wasp said, the stingers on her scales flaring up.

“All of you are impossible.” Ali grumbles. He steps up to Warrior Wasp, holding his talons up. “Please calm down.”

Bombadier was suprised at the dragonets reaction, and laughed. 
"Now if you'll excuse us.. We'll be heading home." He said, and continued walking towards the forest.

"Ugh, not another baby." Lightning groaned, rolling her eyes. She ignored the dragonet and hurried to the captain's quarters. She grabbed several maps, a compass and any other useful things she found, and stuffed them in a bag. Water was starting to leak into the boat, and she sloshed through it to get to the storage room. She grabbed as many non-waterlogged supplies as she could and put them in another bag then ran back above deck. "Hey kid, climb on my back!" She ordered since her hands were full and she couldn't hold him.

The dragons words stopped him in his tracks, and he spun towards her, furious.
"I'll have you know, freak, that my father used to be king.'" He snarled, then realized what he had just said. He growled one last warning, and ran off into the trees with Orca in his arms.

Warrior Wasp froze at Bombadier's words. Then she was filled with a horrible, hateful fury, her stingers pointing outwards, making her look sort of like a blue cactus. She flared her wings outward as well. I will NOT let anyone treat me like my family did. I'm no piece of garbage that can just be pushed aside.

Bombadier ran through the trees, stepping over the various roots and rock in his way. Orca shouted at the other dragons as they got deeper into the woods, and Bombadier hoped that they wouldn't chase after them.
He stopped in a small clearing, and set Orca down in a small patch of grass. He huffed, and sat on a small rock, finally content.
The birds were singing in the trees, and the sunlight filtered down, dappling the world with yellow.

She hugs him. "It's nice here."
Ivy looks distraught.
