The Undiscovered Hybrids

== Prologue ==
=== Slab ===
"Lock them up." The Queen ordered, addressing the guards with a stone-cold glare. "No hybrids are welcome here."
Slab's eyes widened. All of the hybrids? Every single one?
"Even your own daughter, Your Majesty?" he asked with a mix of horror and shock in his beady gray eyes. "Your only heir?" 
"She's no daughter of mine!" The Queen shrieked. Her voice rang across the dimly lit room and the guards winced. Slab gulped. When the Queen got angry, things got bad.
"YOU!" She turned to face Slab. He shrunk against the wall and met her gaze with scared eyes.
"Y-yes Your Majesty?" He stammered out in response. The Queen looked him up and down, curling her lip in disgust.
"Who are you?"
"O-one of your guards."
"NO! WHAT IS YOUR NAME?!" Her voice rang out again and several of the guards shook their heads, telling him what he already knew: He was a goner. 
"M-my name is Slab."
"Weeell Slaaaab." She dragged out the syllables and ended each word in a hiss. "To prove your loyalty, I have a special job for you. You know that prisoner?" She angled her horns towards the prisoner who shrieked and squirmed against her restraints. 
"I want you to kill her." Slab's gray eyes widened in a mixture of fear and shock. Kill her? After they had been through together? A malicious smile spread on the Queen's face as Slab battled with his emotions. She made small tsk sounds to signal Slab that she was growing impatient. Slab closed his eyes and clenched his claws. He had to do this. If he didn't, she would torture his family until he spilled the hybrid's secrets.
"Okay." Slab agreed, hoping he wouldn't regret it, even though he knew he would. 
"Good!" the Queen praised. "Quartz, bring the prisoner!" Another guard slumped forward and dragged the prisoner by her chains towards Slab. Slab met her blue eyes and mouthed "sorry." The prisoners eyes watered, but she nodded. 
Slab took a deep breath and placed his talons along the prisoner's neck. Memories flashed through him of the times he and the prisoner had shared together. All that they had sacrificed for the last hybrid. 
"She will end this, I promise." The prisoner whispered as if reading his mind. Knowing her, maybe she had. Slab closed his eyes and snapped her neck. A crunching sound. A sound that signaled the end of someone's life. Slab turned his back to the prisoner and walked away, trying to ignore the screams that followed.
== Chapter One ==
=== Starfish ===
"You can't catch me!" One of the tiny dragonets squealed, swimming in circles around Starfish. He sighed. Looking after his six siblings was one of the hardest jobs he had ever done. They weren't just chaotic and mischievous, but their thoughts were REALLY loud. 
Starfish placed his talons on his temples, trying to soothe the upcoming headache. Since he was a dragonet he knew he was different. Why else would he have a silver teardrop scale and the ability to read minds?
ME ME ME ME ME!
I'M TOO FAST!
NO ONE WILL FIND ME HERE!
I WANNA HEAR THE STORY OF THE EXTINCTION OF THE HYBRIDS!
Starfish froze. The story of the extinction of the hybrids. Every other tribe besides the SeaWings had chased out their hybrids or killed them. His mother Sardine had ensured him that he would be safe, but every day Queen Azure had seemed more and more wiling to do what the other tribes had did. She was the kind of queen who liked to do what the other tribes did to avoid war. Even if it meant banning or killing one of her subjects. Any day she could randomly call a meeting and announce the new rules. 
"STARFISH!" One of his siblings Bluey shouted, breaking Starfish from his daze. "YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!" 
"Oh yes I can!" Starfish exclaimed, playing along. He let Bluey get a head start then chased after him. As usual he let Bluey escape to make him overconfident, then Starfish would catch him and Bluey would feel embarrassed. 
"Starfish!" Sardine called from the edge of the island where she told them stories. "Come here!" 
Starfish froze and Bluey bolted into him. This must be something important if Sardine interrupted their game. Maybe it was the something. 
What will Starfish think? This will crush him! A poor innocent dragonet...
Starfish blocked out the rest of the thoughts. He knew what was going to happen. He was going to be banished or killed.
"What?" Starfish asked, even though he knew the answer.
"Queen Azure wants to meet with you." 
== Chapter 2 ==
Nicotiana pulled on the rope, lowering the basket. Maybe she had caught something good this time. Nicotiana peeked inside the basket and wrinkled her snout. It was a squirrel, but it had maggots all over it. Nicotiana picked the basket up and tossed the dead squirrel into the ocean. No dead rabbits with maggots polluting her island. 
Crunch crunch. 
Other dragons! Nicotiana crouched down and camouflaged her scales. If someone found her, she would be killed. See, Nicotiana grew up in the NightWing kingdom under the rule of Queen Atrax. Queen Atrax was the creator of "The Extinction Of The Hybrids". Almost as soon as she started going to NightWing school, she was ordered to be killed by a guard. but instead of killing her, the guard hid her on an island. The only memory Nicotiana had of the guard was his bulging gray eyes... 
"Search the island!" The gruff voice of Commander Sharptalons ordered. Nicotiana squeezed her wings against her body and closed her eyes. Ever since she was a dragonet she knew the "if I can't see them, they can't see me" theory was wrong, but it still made her feel safe. 
"But what if there's nothing to find?" A gruff voice retorted. A voice Nicotiana knew all too well... 
That was it! It was him! The dragon that rescued her! 
Without thinking Nicotiana sprung out of her hiding place and ran after the voice. A soon as she spotted him, she hid behind a tree and stared. He had the same black-gray scales and bulging gray eyes. His right leg had a slight limp and he had scars on his wings. 
"How dare you question my leadership!" Commander Sharptalon's voice rang out. "How do you think the Queen would react if she finds us coming home with nothing? She'd kill us or slowly starve us to death!" 
"I-I need to check something." The guard interrupted. "I'll be right back." He scurried out of Nicotiana's eyesight. She heard Sharptalons let out a slow sigh and walk away. This was her chance to talk to the guard who rescued her! 
Nicotiana tiptoed out of the bush she was hiding in and stalked towards the sound of the guard's loud feet, being careful to place her feet lightly. If she stepped on a single leaf, the guards would hear her. 
Crunch. 
Nicotiana screeched and immediately slapped a talon to her mouth. She heard the sound of footsteps behind her and tried to run, but something stabbed her and she fell limp. 
== Chapter 3 ==
=== Crystalline ===
"Crystalline!" 
Crystalline snapped from their daze and looked up to find Cryo glaring at them.
"What did I do this time?" Crystalline grumbled, rolling a ball of snow in their claws.
"It's not something you did. Well, actually Queen Summit..." Cryo stopped and stared at the ground.
"Tell me." Crystalline begged. "It will be worse if I don't know."
"Queen Summit killed another hybrid today."
"Oh." It was a simple word. Too simple to explain how Crystalline felt. There was only one hybrid left, so it meant they killed the last one. Now it would be only a matter of time before they were next. Crystalline wasn't a hybrid, but they were closest enough to be one. They were the only SandWing that lived in the IceWing kingdom. It was because Crystalline's parents abandoned them and Cryo found them laying in the snow. If it was any other dragon, Crystalline would've been killed on sight. But it was Cryo. Cryo was the nicest dragon that Crystalline had ever met. Cry took time from her day to make sure that Crystalline was okay and sacrificed her place in the First Circle. Once Cryo had found them she went to Queen Summit and begged to let Crystalline live with her in the IceWing kingdom. Queen Summit had agreed saying that Crystalline would make a great "bargaining tool." Crystalline had tried to focus on the fact that they were allowed to stay and not that they were a "bargaining too," but it still made them worried. What was Queen Summit's plan? Would it involve Crystalline being killed or maybe even used as a sacrificed?
