Wings of Power!

Chapter one
Yep, I'm back, college has got me more free time so I will have time to write once again, I deleted the old version of this that I never even got to complete. Which sucks, but hey I'm back and I am going to write and not just throw words down and hope for the best. The first chapter is going to definitely be the shortest by a lot so don't worry this is just to get you in the mindset of "HOW".
Italic (thinking)
Darkness, nothing but chaos, death, and tragedy. Nothing but anger, hatred, sadness, and unending war. Even after the problem was solved that started the war that the three sisters greedily dragged every other tribe into there was still more, more, and more war. It was true darkness.
But in the midst of the upcoming war that he was going to reawaken in, there was a solution to the problem that Darkstalker saw he was about to have that was unavoidable. "I got about half an hour before I deal with my father, I have enough time to write one more spell that will make sure of my revival in the distant future and guarantee my position of power without having to enchant everybody."
He looked into the future to once again plan his reawakening, and look at his options. He saw how far his tribe fell and the plan they would have at trying to take the rainwing's land. He saw the complete disappearance of all powers the nightwings held because they went into hiding. "The fact that my tribe would fall so low is just proof that they are in desperate need of a change in leadership," he told himself.
"How foolish, to think that I wouldn't just enchant myself to be able to see however far that I want to," he tells himself.
He took a look at different wars and looked for opportunities in them to make an excellent appearance. It did not take long to see what he should do, however. "They are so starved for a hero in the midst of the crisis, it would be easy to have a hero planted in the middle of the war and have them easily capture the hearts of all sides of the war that would be dragged into the conflict." He thought out loud. He looked at all the prospects who he could make a hero and grimaced. "No wonder they are so desperate for a hero. Nobody has the heart or head to be a hero then."
A thought came to him while he was looking for a dragon that he would choose to be the hero. "Why don't I just make my own heroes?" he asked himself. a thought came to him "It will more than likely take more than one hero to stop the war and free me, won't it?"
He kept on planning with a wicked grin on his face. "This... is going to be fun!". He started writing in his scroll, accepting the fact that he will be in eternal sleep soon. it mattered not to the immortal dragon though.
He wrote before the bad news would be brought to him. He wrote to avoid destiny and regain the freedom that he would have taken away from him.
I decided to go back over every chapter and give them a tiny little upgrade. Who knows... I might make a major re-haul on this story in general. Same story, but better written.
chapter 2
Yep, just a new chapter. Bye and enjoy.
Absolute fury is all she felt as she stared at the sandwing in front of her. "WHAT do you mean she wasn't able to get the egg!" screamed Kestrel. "What I am saying is, that Hvitur was caught by the skywings trying to get the egg while she was on the way out." Said the sandwing named Dune.
The egg they were trying to get was one of the five eggs of prophecy. "Don't worry we already had Webs go out and get us the replacement egg." Said Dune.
"WHAT do you mean, replacement, that is my egg that was left behind!" screamed Kestrel in Anger.
"We were able to get a hold of a rain wing egg that is supposed to hatch about the same time as all the other eggs," Answered Dunes, worrying for his life.
"What about my egg, that was MY egg that was left behind?" said Kestrel in anger.
"Me and you both know exactly what that entails!" Dune said frowning, "If Hvitur was caught by the skywings on this exact night, they will obviously know what that egg was for," Dune said pausing, thinking his next words carefully. "I am sad to say but more than likely your egg is dead along with Hvitur, I am sorry for your loss." He grimly said.
She was even more furious. First, she loses her own egg. Then, she finds out that the new egg they got was a filthy, lazy, rainwing. She stormed off into the back of the cave to go blow off some steam while muttering about how the dragonets better be able to make up for the skywing they lost.
There was a sudden knocking near the front of the cave. Dune calmly walked up to the front of the cave. "Let me in Dunes, there are skywing patrols everywhere right now!" the other side of the bolder quietly exclaimed.
"I'm getting it, I'm getting it," Dune muttered.
He pulled on the switch next to the bolder and the boulder moved over to the side with a grating sound. "Quickly, Quickly, I don't think I was followed but I want to make sure." Muttered the blue and green seawing said as he hurried inside the cave.
The moment that the seawing cleared the makeshift boulder door, Webs closed it. The boulder closed with a grating snap as it went back into place.
The seawing quickly looked around the cave while putting his egg next to the other 4 eggs. "Where is Asha and Hvitur?" Webs asked looking around for them.
"Both dead by now." Answered Dune grimly, thinking of the friends they have lost. The Talons of peace wasn't very big. Almost everybody knew each other.
"Dead? But I passed by Asha on the way here and the information Hvitur had to get into the sky palace was almost flawless, it was from one of our best spies." Asked Webs in bewilderment. "Well let's just say we were unlucky with the mudwing and skywing egg, Hvitur was caught on the way out and Asha died from injuries she got from a crossfire from a sneak attack from an Icewing attack on the mudwings, luckily she made it back with the egg intact," Dune answered.
"Unlucky indeed, I'm just happy my hunch was right and I got that rainwing egg, it might save our heads from Morrowseer, once he catches word that our wings of sky has been killed." Said webs.
"You might be right, but there will be backlash from everybody once they hear that the replacement was a rainwing." answered Dune.
"Where is Kestrel?" asked Webs, knowing she was still alive.
"In the back of the cave grieving." Answered Dunes, motioning his head towards the back.
Webs looked down sadly "I forgot the skywing egg was supposed to be hers, we lost a lot today, didn't we?" asked Webs.
Dunes just nodded. "The full moons are almost upon us, the eggs should hatch almost any minute." Said Webs.
"I hope that the prophecy was true, and these dragons do stop this war, I want to see my mate again." Said Webs sadly.
"I'm going to doubt that, now that you are a traitor to the seawings, considering that you stole the queens egg." Said Dunes with a confused look.
"I am hoping that if I return her child as a hero, they might let me rejoin." Webs said hopefully. Dunes just gave him a look that said I doubt it.
Suddenly the earth started rumbling. The ground started to shake and crack violently. A giant crack formed on the mudwing egg. After getting over their shock at the sudden earthquake Dunes, Webs, and Kestrel coming in to see what all the commotion was, gathered around the egg to watch the egg hatch. Suddenly the earthquake began anew shaking the entire world.
The mudwing egg began to crack again as the earthquake was going on. The earthquake was so violent that the guardians fell over. And as fast as the earthquake started, it ended.
The guardians quickly got up to look at the states of the eggs and to their shock the mudwing was out of the egg shaking the egg slime of himself.
Shooken, all that Webs could say," The mudwing hatched." He said bewildered at the events that just happened. All the other guardians could do was just nod their heads. The mudwing slowly got up and took in his surroundings completely ignoring the guardians. He quickly found his target, The eggs.
Kestrel quickly took note of this as the mudwing got a glint in his eyes as he posed to pounce on the eggs. "Holy CRAP, Webs get him he's about to get the eggs!" she screamed right as the mudwing pounced. The moment Webs went to jump for him, hundreds of spikes formed around the mudwing and the eggs and a small part of the ceiling opened up to let moon light into the area where the eggs were at. All the spikes formed a protective area around the eggs where the guardians couldn't see or get to the eggs.
"Were screwed, aren't we?" muttered Webs, giving up hope that he was ever going to live through this war.
The moment that Morrowseer found out they let the mudwing eat the egg with the absurd powers it had, they would be screwed. As soon as he said that the spikes around the eggs quickly crumbled to dust to reveal five newborn hatchlings with the mudwing buried underneath them all sleeping happily in a pile.
The seawing could only stare and jokingly say "Never mind crisis everted" he said in shock. Everybody else just nodded in relief. But they all knew now, that the death of their friends might not be in vain at the sights they just saw.
Over at the skywing palace
Almost everybody was in a panic a good size chunk of the palace was melting away in a pool of lava around a certain area. A skywing guard frantically came up to the queen trying to explain the situation.
"My queen, we put the egg where you told us and we watched over it after we caught the Icewing, but the moment the egg started to hatch the whole area of the palace caught fire, what are we going to do about it?" asked the guard. "Don't worry about it too much, it's just my new toy... put out the fires and secure the dragonet that was born from the egg." Answered the queen.
"But my queen, surely the dragonet must be dead by now from all the fire." Said the guard confused.
"Don't worry about if the dragonet is alive, I know it will live through it. Just do as I asked." Answered the queen.
The guard just nodded and bowed. He left to go do as he was told and as he was leaving, he heard the queen mutter to herself about the new toy she would soon have. The guard shudder and feared for whatever got Queen Scarlet's attention like this.
Chapter 3
Not going to lie this was the first chapter that was hard to write because this chapter is going to choose how a lot of the other chapters are going to be written. I was debating writing about how the book goes about the timeline, but I decided, if I'm going to write a fanfic about how I think the book could be perfected, then I am going to write it how I want it. Also, I came here to tell you I posted the music list I listened to while writing this book, I will put the URL in my bio if you want to listen to it and see what I was inspired by, just going to say now, it's a whole lot of rock and metall. But back to the story, this takes place about a year and a half since the last chapter. And now, onto the chapter.
Terrified is the only thing he could feel right now as he stared down the most violent beast in his lifetime, even after facing thousands of dragons. The champion looked frantically back up to his queen. "Please your magesty, don't make me have to fight that monster. Me and you both know that if I fight that thing then I will be killed!" he pleaded to his queen.
Scarlet just smirked. "Too bad, this is my new champion, you have been loyal to me but you have started to bore me, so I will just have to make things even more thrilling. And as tradition states for there to be a new champion the current champion must be killed by the challenger."
"Bullcrap, you just want to watch me get incinerated by your new toy, you sick pieces of crap!" he argued back accepting his fate, might as well get his worth out of the situation.
Scarlet just laughed at him "Oh enough of this, Peril if you would please get rid of him?"
The monster now shown to be a little one year old dragonet started to walk towards the champion skywing. The champion immediately tried to get out of the palace room he was in to escape his fate. The moment he turned around a huge wall of fire erupted right Infront of the exit blocking his path out. He turned back around to look at the dragonet to see it had one of its paws lifted up Infront of it. The champion immediately knew what had happened. The little dragonet had summoned it from thin air.
"You are no dragon, not even a monster, you are nothing but a demon, you're just a baby dragonet and you have already killed countless amount of good dragons. Your no champion because, you don't even fight. You just have to touch them then they die!" he screamed while scrambling back as far as he could from the dragonet.
"You hear me devil! You are nothing but an executioner for the queen for her to get her sick kicks!" he yelled at the dragonet frantically.
The dragonet was now right up upon him now. She was hesitating right Infront of him.
Scarlet immediately started to get ticked off. "Peril kill him now or you don't get your black rocks tonight.
Peril flinched and quickly laid her paw down on the stomach of the skywing champion. Immediately the room started to smell like burning flesh. The only thing that could be heard was the screams from the skywing as he was being engulfed by the super-heated flames from Peril's flame scales.
It didn't even take two minutes for the skywing to be nothing else but ash and dust.
Scarlet just sat there laughing at the sight. "Can I get somebody to open up a window to blow out all the dust?"
The guards surrounding the queen sat there absolutely terrified of the dragonet Infront of them that just caused one of the most brutal deaths they had ever seen.
After Scarlet stopped laughing, she immediately focused on the dragonet in front of her. "Peril if I ever see you hesitate on killing somebody, I told you to kill, I will take away your black rocks."
Peril frantically nodded as her response. "Yes, my queen, is there anything else I need to do." Scarlet shook her head no "just go back to your sleeping quarters.
Peril started to become sad "When am I going to get to do anything fun?" she asked.
"OHH, Peril this is fun. You didn't know it till now but you were born for one thing and one thing only, you were born to kill those who I desire to be killed." she answered back.
"But it's not fun, I can't seem to find anything fun about it. All it seems to do is terrify people of me and scare them all away." Peril said sadly.
"Don't that just suck, the only friend you need is me peril." Scarlet just answered back. "Now go to your room.
Peril just nodded sadly and left the throne room heading back for her room that had nothing inside of it for fear of it being burned out of existence from her destructive flame scales.
Miles away from the skywing palace in an unnamed mountain range in the skywing region
"All righty dragonets, today is the day we start training you to your destiny to end the war." said Dunes to the group of dragonets. The group consisted of a mudwing, seawing, nightwing, sandwing, and a rainwing. "Now, who can remind me of what you are supposed to do?" asked dunes.
"We are supposed to choose who we think is fit to be the sandwing queen and kill the other two." answered the nightwing.
"Correct Starflight, you are supposed to choose between the three dragons Burn, Blaze, and Blister." confirmed Dunes. "You will have to kill two of them and I can guarantee you if you have to fight Burn or Blister you would die if you just had a mediocre training regimen like a normal soldier would be trained with, so today we start you training at becoming a warrior, any questions?" he asked.
The mudwing quietly raised his paw up. "Who is going to be training us to fight?" the mudwing asked.
"To answer your question Clay, the answer is all of us, as the war is going on right now almost at any time you could become under attack by almost any tribe if they were orderd to attack you on sight. So, me, Webs, and Kestrell are all going to help you practice fighting so you can get a feel for how almost every tribe fight, but the dragon that is more than likely going to train you to fight the most is probably going to be Kestrell because she is the best out of all of us, she used to be one of queen Scarlets royal guards before she ran away from Scarlets tyrany and wicked ways." answered dunes.
Clay gulped in fear quickly glancing at the huge skywing standing in the corner. She scared him with how strong and big she was.
"Now, I am going to split all of you us so we can all get a feel on how well you fight." said Dunes.
"Please don't be Kestrel, please don't be Kestrel, please don't be Kestrel." quietly muttered Clay to himself.
"Clay you are getting Kestrell, Tsunami you are getting me, and Sunny you are getting Webs." said Dunes looking at each one as he called their names. "Glory, and Starflight go wait in the corner of the Caves and await your turns." Both of them nodded and headed for the corner, the rest headed for the adult dragons waiting for them.
Clay walked up in front of Kestrell and awaited instructions, Kestrell stood up and looked down on the mudwing " mudwing, I want you to remember one thing when I train you and one thing only when you attack, you were born for two main reasons, you were born to bring peace to this world and you were born to kill, remember that when you fight your enemies"
Little did she know those words would stick to his mind for almost his whole life.
Chapter 4
I recommend going to my music list I have posted for this link to get the right feeling I was going for while writing this story. Right at this moment I am listening to whiplash, I posted the URL on my profile bio. I am now starting to regret now making the last chapter bigger. Right after I posted it, I looked at the clock and I realized that I still had plenty of time left in my day to write and I had already come up with ideas to add on to the last chapter so I am going to try to make this chapter longer to make up for last chapter. Now, onto the story. Don't be afraid to comment and review the story, criticism helps.
On the other side of the cave with Tsunami and Dunes. "Alright Tsunami it's time to see if you have any natural talent at fighting at all. For are first time fighting I will go easy on you, you are too young for me to go hard on you yet."
Tsunami nodded and got ready in her best fighting stance at the edge of the underground river that runs through the cave. "Now, I want you to go all out on me, don't worry about hurting me I will be fine." said Dunes confidently.
With that, Tsunami immediately pounced at Dunes and went for his neck. She was slapped midair and flew straight into the river.
"CRAP... I hope I didn't hit her too hard, I told her I would go easy on her." muttered Dunes. After a few moments he got worried and walked over to the edge of the river where Tsunami went flying into to try and fish her out.
The moment he made it to the edge of water a huge blast of water shot out and hit him dead on, it hit so hard it felt like getting punched by a Full grown adult mudwing. He went flying back a few feet and was out could the moment he hit the ground.
Tsunami crawled out of the water smiling to herself looking at the scene she had made. "Did I do good you dusty sandwing" she said laughing. Dunes moaned in pain "training is done for today you may go rest now." he said moaning. Tsunami happily trotted off to go have some fun in her room.
Over in the training room with Clay and Kestrel
"Mudwing, go over to that side of the room to start our training." said Kestrel pointing to the other side of the room.
Clay quickly walked over to the other side of room and faced Kestrel "How do we start this?" he asked. "Like this!" she yelled and started charging at clay
Clay flinched back and lifted up one of his arms closing his eyes trying to defend himself from the sudden charge Kestrell made at him and heard a grating sound that sounded like stone rubbing against stone.
The moment the sound stopped he heard scales slapping against stone and heard Kestrel moan in pain. Clay looked up from closing his eyes his sight was blocked by a small wall stone blocking his view of what happened to Kestrel. He looked around the small wall that had formed Infront of him and found Kestel on the ground cringing in pain and clutching at her shoulder like she had just got hurt there.
"Kestrell, what happened, why is there a rock Infront of where I was standing at?" Clay worried about her health.
Kestrell slowly got up and looked at the mudwing "I don't know why I never told you this, but the moment you were born and you came out of your egg it seemed like you were able to control the earth around you, I think that is what happened here" she said still clutching her shoulder.
"What do you mean?" Clay asked. "I have never been able to do anything like that so far."
"I think it has to do with the fact that you had never really had to defend yourself until now." She said back. "Did you feel anything when you summoned that rock wall?"
"All I did was lift up my arm to try and block you and then the next thing I know that rock wall was Infront of me and you had slammed into it." He shook his head no.
"We will test this out more later for now im gonna try and walk this off, training is done for today, go find something interesting to do for the rest of today." She said limping away.
Clay was by himself wondering what had happened and what these powers were that he was born with.
Over in a different room with Sunny and Webs
"Ok Sunny, I am going to let you start out this training session." Webs said getting into a fighting stance. Sunny just nervously nodded and prepared herself.
She started to charge at webs at first going for his neck right of the back, webs went to block her with the hard edge of his wing and swat her with his wing. The moment the she was about to hit his wing she dove under it and then dove again at his neck.
Webs quickly lifted his front part of his body up by jumping up to his hind legs and swatted Sunny straight into the ground. Sunny hit the ground and slowly got up dizzied by hitting the ground so hard. Slowly shaking her head trying to get rid of the dizziness. "How did I do?"
"Not bad at all for your first try at combat, that would not have worked if you were just a bit bigger with you being able to dive under my wing like that, but it was really smart and that is what matters." he said considerately.
"Thank you, what do we do now?" she said thanking him. "I think we are done for today, I hit you pretty hard and I think it would be good for you to take a break after that, you are still just too young to take hits like that frequently." he answered back.
Back with the rest of the dragonets
"How did you guys do?" asked Starflight as Clay, Tsunami, and Sunny walked in. Tsunami had an evil grin, Sunny looked pretty positive, and Clay just looked confused.
"Man, I absolutely clocked Dunes, he threw me into the water and I was originally going to wait in the water for him to come and find me at the edge, the moment he made it to the edge I decided I would rather punch him for making fun of glory earlier this week. The moment I thought that it was like the water agreed with me and hit him for me, it hit him so hard he was out cold." Tsunami said all while still grinning.
Clay was even more confused now. "I had something happen a lot like that during my fight, Kestrel started charging at me and I had no time to dodge so all I could do was lift up my paw and try and block her, a giant Rock wall came up out of the ground and blocked her for me. She hit it so hard she had to stop too."
Glory burst out laughing "MAN, I would have loved to see kestrel do that, that would make my day!"
"Apparently when we I was born, I was able to control the rocks around me, at least that's what kestrel said." said Clay still confused. "Apparently, I'm not the only one of us who can control stuff too."
"Sunny did you do anything like that during your fight?" asked Tsunami.
"No, but I do think my fight went pretty good, I almost got Webs by the neck." she then spotted a cut that Tsunami got on her back. "Oh my gosh Tsunami, are you ok?"
Tsunami quickly looked around her and looked at her back. "It's not that bad, it only hurts a hair bit." Sunny still wasn't satisfied. "Is there anything I can do to make it better?"
The moment she said that the gash on Tsunami's back started to glow. Tsunami immediately was alarmed at the new glowing spot on her back "What on earth." she said alarmed.
A few seconds after Tsunami asked that the glowing was gone, so wasn't the cut... "Not that I am complaining but what in the three moons was that?" she asked.
"Clay, you said that both you and Tsunami all were able to control stuff around you right?" Asked Starflight. At the question both Clay and Tsunami just nodded still bewildered at the now healed injury. "I think that might have been Sunny that healed you, Tsunami." Starflight said perplexed at this.
"Me... I did that, but how?" Sunny asked. Clay immediately thought he knew the answer to the question.
"Right before Tsunamis spot became healed what did you say again?" Clay asked to Sunny.
"All I did was ask her if I could help her with hert injury." She said confused at the situation.
"Right before the rock wall was summoned all I could think about was how I wanted to stop Kestrell from hitting me, I think our powers have to do something with us willing for something." Answered Clay.
"That ask a question though... if I have control over water, Clay has control over the earth, Sunny can heal people... what powers do You two have?" Tsunami asked excitedly.
Starflight and Glory looked at each other in excitement. "Oh man, I can't wait to see what we can do." said Starflight in excitement.
The sound of pawsteps walking there way made them all stop their conversations and made them all look over to the entrance of the cave to see Webs walking in. Webs looked over at Starflight and Glory. "Ok, who wants to go next?" Webs asked them both.
Shocking him they both said ME! At the same time. "Really? Starflight you seem like the kind of dragon that wouldn't want to do this kind of stuff at all, all righty, I will just let one of you choose who want to go first."
Starflight nodded to Glory. "Ladies first." he said sincerely. "Thank you, Starflight." she answered back gladly.
Webs looked at Glory "Ok Glory fallow me to the training room." He said leaving the room with Glory following along.
The moment they made it into the middle of the room Webs looked down at her. "All right go over there to the other side of the room so we can start this session."
She walked over to the other side of the room and turned around to look at Webs again and await instructions from him. "Ok, I let sunny start last time, so I am going to let you start this time too.
She nodded and leapt off to charge at him going straight for the kill just like sunny did by going for the neck first, and just like last time he brought up his wing to block Glory. Right before she hit his wings, two vine like plants shot up out of the ground and wound against his wing and dragged it down to the ground out of Glory's way. The fight didn't even last 4 seconds and she had him beat with her jaw around the small part of Web's neck effectively killing him in a real-life battle situation.
Webs was just frozen in shock with Glory's jaws still around him. "Goo...good job Glory, you beat me." he stuttered out in shock. "You may go now please send Starflight this way when you get there."
She let go of his neck and nodded and left to get Starflight with a satisfied smile on her face glad to know that she had powers like all her other friends had.
She made it to the room all her friends lived in and gave them all that look. She looked over at Starflight "Starflight, Webs told me to get you and tell you to go to the training room, I got control over plant life, not goanna lie, I'm also excited to see what you get from your powers." she said while looking at him happily. Starflight happily nodded and quickly jogged to the training room in excitement.
He walked into the training room just as Webs was getting out of the vines that tangled up his wing. Starflight was already putting together in his mind on how Glory had beaten Webs by tangling up his wing.
"Hello Starflight are you ready for your training session?" Webs asked to Starflight, still a little bit stunned at what Glory had done to him.
"Yep, how are we gonna start this off?" Starflight asked excitedly.
"We are going to start like how everybody else has started to make it fair, go to the other side of the room and get ready." Explained Webs.
Starflight walked over to the other side and prepared himself. "Ok I will let you have the first move." Webs told Starflight.
Instead of like the others, Starlight didn't immediately charge at him instead he started to walk around Webs trying to find an opening to attack. Webs was turning in his spot so he could follow Starflight with his eyes.
"If only I could get an opening on him, I need him to stop moving" he thought to himself. Starflight kept on studying Webs posture and body trying to find an opening. The moment he had the thought he looked down at Webs shadow, and instantly a shadow shot from his own and hooked up to Webs shadow shocking Starflight and making him stop.
He noticed that Webs was frozen to and he realized his opening instantly, he immediately charges at Webs but stopped when Webs charged too wondering why Webs broke his promise that Starflight would get the first move. The moment he stopped Webs stopped too. "Webs, I thought you were going to let me go on the offensive first." Said Starflight confused and a little annoyed at him.
"Starflight... I … I'm not doing this, I can't control myself." Said Webs sounding like he was struggling against himself but not moving.
"Wait, what!?" said Starflight confused, a thought came to him. "Wait a minute... I need to try this out."
Starflight slowly raised his front right paw up into the air. Webs followed suit.
Starflight got an evil grin and put his paw down. He started to slowly walk towards Webs who knew what was going on now.
Starflight was able to control Webs through his shadow by hooking his shadow up Webs shadow. He walked right up to about six feet Infront of Webs and just sat down knowing he now had all day.
Webs grumbled to himself knowing this. "You going to do anything or not?" Starflight just smiled and shook his head no. "Just going to wait till you surrender"
"Fine! Ok, I surrender, you happy now?" Said Webs angrily. Starflight just kept smiling. "Yup" and he broke his connection to Webs and walked out of the room with Webs following him out.
In the room where the adults sleep at
"Can't believe I got beat by a freaking one year old!" Said Dunes angrily. "At least Tsunami had to try to beat you, Clay beat me by complete accident. He didn't even know he had powers over the earth." Said Kestrel back at him still favoring the shoulder she had smashed into the wall earlier.
With that Webs walked into the room looking worn out, beaten, and confused at what had just happened.
"So how did it go with you Webs?" Asked Dunes. Webs shook his head at this.
"Never in my life have I ever been so humiliated before. All of them beat me except for Sunny, and it's just because she didn't have some weird magic power or something weird."
Both Kestrel and Dunes looked at each other and nodded to each other like they were confirming something. Kestrel looked back at Webs. "They all have powers like that apparently." Dunes just nodded along with what Kestrel said.
"When I was walking back here after getting knocked out, I heard their conversation about how Sunny has the power to heal injuries." Said Dunes.
"I don't know where these powers came from but I do know one thing..." said Webs jokingly.
"And what would that be Webs?" Asked Dunes.
"Whoever faces them when they are released out into the world is absolutely screwed." Answered Webs.
Chapter 5
Back at ya with a new chapter. I hope as I continue to write I can get better so you guys can enjoy it better. Im going to start trying to target around five thousand words for chapter now. I was either going to write a httyd fic or this but I decided this, because there is a lot of httyd fics. There are not very many WoF fics and that upsets me a little bit with how good WoF is as a book series. Either way, onto the story, I recommend listening to spit out the bone "Ben Zimmerman" version.
5 years later...
"I wonder what she wants with me now" Thought peril on her way to the throne room a little bit annoyed at the queen. "I was having a really good nap."
"If she wants to have somebody killed, I don't know why she doesn't do it herself... she would more than likely enjoy it more than watching it." peril made it up to door to the throne room.
The guards opened the door and walked off to the sides to get away from her, in fear of her lethal scorching touch. "The queen awaits your arrival champion Peril." said the guard more confidently than he felt.
Peril just ignored them and walked right up to queen Scarlet "What do you want queen Scarlet?"
"I have a different thing for you to do today, I am about to break over a thousand years of tradition by doing this but it is too big of an opportunity to hit a major blow to Blister and her seawing allies." Scarlet started to explain.
"We have gotten word from spies that a certain King of the seawings is going on a peace trip to try and make a deal with the rainwings and gain their resources in food and herbs that can only grow in the jungle, you are the only one that I can trust will be able to take down all the Royall guards he has guarding him." Said Skarlet.
"Your task, is to take a group of around eight of my Guards and intercept the royal task group and take out all the royal guards that Gill has guarding him, Make Shure you capture Gill alive and bring him back to me, he will make a fine bargaining chip I can use against the seawings and have my way with them." Tasked Skarlet. "Let's try to keep this quiet, like I said this is breaking a lot of tradition, and it will upset a lot of the council and I don't have time to deal with those idiots, any questions?"
"When will I be leaving, and where will I be intercepting them at?" Asked Peril.
"This is going to be the tricky part, they are going to take the diamond spray delta all the way to the entrance of the jungle and fly into the jungle, we will be unable to attack that whole time till they get out of the water and try and fly into the jungle, you have about a two-hundred-yard stretch of open ground to try and intercept them, if they make it into that jungle it is pretty much already game over because it is too easy to escape in there." explained Scarlet.
"You are going to head over to the barracks right now, your task force is waiting for you right now, this mission is too important to fail, if you have any trouble with them, you have my permission to incinerate them the moment they start to disobey you. You may leave now." Scarlet said.
Peril just nodded and started to walk out of the throne room, the moment that she thought that nobody could see hear she had a grin plastered to her face "Finally, something interesting to do." she thought to herself.
She walked to the exit of the castle and launched off through the air and started flying to the barracks not too far away from the castle.
She landed Infront of the barracks and all the skywings were already waiting outside ready to go and all suited up in armor with their weapons of choice if they had a weapon.
Peril just nodded at them and she flew up into the direction of the mudwing kingdom towards the diamond spray. With the squad right behind her. "We should be there in about three days, we will fly non-stop and we should have about a day to rest up once we get there before the target makes it." Peril said behind her to the squad.
It was going to be a long, long trip.
Three days later
They landed at the edge of the jungle and made their way into it about a hundred yards to rest and plan their attack.
After everybody landed and ate some rations, Peril had them all come over to her so they could plan out the attack. "Ok, so I want four of you on one side of the river and I need four others on the other, the plan is I am going to go in and start by getting the guards. The spy said there should be around ten guards. The moment I start the attack I want four of you to cut off the escape route to the diamond spray river, the other four of you I want cover the edge of the rainforest and make shore Gill doesn't make it in there, am I clear." All the guards nodded.
"Good, I want you to spend the night in your spots for the night and wake up early, they are supposed to be through here around eight in the morning, be ready even before then, we can't mess this up." Peril said.
Four of the skywings immediately up and left the area heading for the other side of the river to await Gill and his guards.
Early next morning at 7:40 AM
Peril is waiting behind some underbrush just far enough from it so that she doesn't catch it on fire. "Those seawings should be here any moment." she told herself.
The moment she said that, five big seawing guards burst out of the water and looked around looking for any enemies in the area. Once the area was cleared one of the guards went back to the water.
It wasn't even a moment later and the guard plus six other dragons came out of the water with him.
Gill was very easy to spot in-between all the guards with how big he was with his green scales.
Gill looked over at the guard that had brought him out of the water "You are absolutely shore that this area is clear. This is the only area that we could be intercepted in?"
The guard quickly answered "Yes king Gill, there are no dragons in the area we could see, even if there were the scouts said that there were no mudwings in the area that would intercept us."
"Let's hurry up then and get in that jungle so we can get this over with, Pearl needs help watching Anemone and the Egg." Said Gill launching off towards the jungle.
"This will be easier than I thought." Mumbled Peril to herself, waiting for the seawings to make it to about the half way point between the jungle and diamond spray.
The moment they made it to the half way point, Peril jumped up and ran straight up into the middle guard while clipping two more in-between the middle guard with her wings effectively killing the three dragons before they even knew what had happened.
All three of the dragons fell out of the sky screaming in pain while they were being engulfed in fire. All the seawings stopped and hovered in the air shocked at what happened.
There shock was broken when Peril flipped back around and rammed into another one of the guards in the front formation leaving only six guards left to defend Gill.
"Retreat! Retreat! head back for the water its Scarlet's flame scale!" said one of the guards in the back turning around to retreat.
Peril quickly got the last guard that was Infront of gill and started to chase after the group as they flew quickly to make it back to the river.
They were quickly cut off by four skywing guards and stopped midair looking around trying to find a way to escape. Them stopping was their doom.
Peril immediately jumped three more of the guards and killed them instantly. Webs and the other two guards dived below Peril and land, trying to avoid her and run to the jungle, unaware of the guards that were awaiting there anyway... not that they made it that far.
The moment they started to run, a huge spurt of fire came out of the ground and formed a big ring of fire all the way around the three seawings capturing them.
"Surrender now in the name of queen Scarlet and your guards' lives will be spared for now!" commanded Peril hovering over the ring of fire.
"Like crap I will, I know what will happen if we become prisoners under Scarlet. We will be-AAACK!" A guard was silenced by a tendril of fire came out of the ring and killed him instantly from the hellish heat.
"Does anybody have anything else to say what you will be doing." Said peril annoyed at how stupid the guard was.
Gill and the other guard just sat there silently in shock at how quickly their numbers were decimated by the royal champion.
"Good, saves me a lot of trouble, Guard get em... we got a long journey here, we got to get out of here before the muddwings catch word of this." Commanded Peril to the skywings guards.
They quickly searched the seawings for any secret weapons and got them up in the air and started on their way towards the skywing kingdom.
Four days later
Peril leads the seawings into the throne room with two guards behind them. "queen Scarlet I have the prisoners with me right now, mission success." Peril said to Scarlet who was sitting on her throne.
"Good, good, guards take them to the throne room I will deal with them later.
The guards just nodded and took the seawings to the prison chambers below the castle.
Peril was still standing there waiting for the guards to leave, Scarlet took notice of this. "Do you need something Peril?"
Peril nodded. "Do you need me to do anything else?" she asked hoping for some type of praise, anything really to show that she did good.
Scarlet just shook her head no. "Nope! Get out of here until I need you again."
To say the least Peril was upset as she left the throne room. "Really, no thank you Peril, thank you for capturing the king of Seawings and having no injuries on your squad." she went on not knowing that a dragon heard all this that probably shouldn't have heard that "The talons will have to hear about this." the Spy muttered to himself immediately heading out to go tell the news of what has happened.
Three days later with the dragonets.
SLAM! We see a Clay getting thrown to the ground HARD. There was something wrapped around his leg that was green.
Clay turned around and did a punching motion with his arm. Suddenly a guge spike came out of the ground that was blunted at the end so he didn't hurt Glory to bad when it hit her.
She went flying all the way across the cave and hit the wall and was out for the count for today's spar.
"Thats it for today, Dragonets Clay is the winner for today." Said Webs leaving for the living chambers.
Clay got up off the ground and walked over to Glory and picked her up "You ok Glory?"
"Ya I'm ok, you didn't hit me too hard, just enough to knock me silly." she said to him groaning in pain.
"Good" Clay said as he started to walk back into their room where all of his friends slept in.
"So, who won this time?" Tsunami asked as Clay walked into the room.
"I won this time, unlike last time." said Clay as he walked into the room to Tsunami. In the room all the other dragonets were in there with Glory walking in right behind him.
Last time Clay and Glory fought, she was able to tie him up by having vines burst right out from underneath him and tying his legs up so he couldn't move at all.
Kestrell, Dunes, and Webs don't really spar against them anymore because the dragonets were pretty much on a level of their own. The only one who does any real combat training with them was Sunny and that was because she doesn't have any real offensive combat element, all she could do was heal dragons.
She was appreciated non the less because with how hard the dragonets train, they had their own number of injuries they got almost every week from how hard they trained against each other.
But considering Kestrel, Dunes, And Webs could specifically work on her training, she was pretty adept on being able to defend herself even being able to beat some of them a good amount of the time.
The dragonets were all so strong in their respective element fighting style that Kestrel said confidently they could probably be able to wage a war just by themselves with how potentially destructive and dangerous they were. To say that boosted their confidence would be a understatement. Not that they were cocky and had a huge ego.
They had each other to make Shure that never happened with each other.
Their relationship with each other was great to, with them being raised with each other they all had brother and sister relationships. Clay especially had that feeling with all of them.
They were all talking with each other about how they sparred today against each other when they heard Kestrel yell for all of them in the main room of the cave.
All the dragonets walked out of the cave and filled in right Infront of Kestrel. When they looked at Kestrell she looked really excited for what she was about to say.
"Dragonets, I have great news to tell you... ITS TIME!" Kestrel said to them all.
"What do you mean its time?" asked Starflight confused at what she meant.
"It's time to go kick Scarlet's BUT is what I am saying!" Said Kestrell with a big grin on her face.
The one thing that made Kestrel happy was getting to kill her dragonets murderer.
Chapter 6
Helo once again and welcome back to Wings of Power, today is the day folks. We get to watch the dragonets of destiny wipe the floor with scarlet. If you came here to watch a hard Battle between the dragonets and Scarlets forces then you are in for a big disappointment. Again, I recommend to listening to literally any of Metallica's songs for this story except for the slower parts, I will recommend songs for those if I can. I'm going to take inspiration for this chapter with the song My apocalypse running on repeat. Also, if you are wondering what happened to Sky, don't worry that will be answered way way way on in the feature. (Warning there will be gore in this chapter)
The dragonets wasted no time in preparing themselves for their welcoming mission. They were ready in just five minutes. They were all awaiting at the cave entrance waiting for Kestrel to get ready.
"What is taking Kestrel so long? She isn't even going to be fighting in this mission." Asked Tsunami impatiently to everybody else.
"I am willing to bet you Kestrel will do everything in her power to get in on the action, this mission is personal if you don't remember, Scarlet murdered her dragonet and she was supposed to be one of us." answered Starflight "She is more than likely just getting some equipment for the mission."
True to what he was guessing, Kestrel walked into the room wearing older looking armor that had a lot of dust and scratch marks on it. "All righty I'm ready."
"I didn't even know that you had armor Kestrel where did you get it?" Asked Sunny.
"I got it way back when I was still a royal guard to Scarlet. I brought it with me when I defected from the skywings." Answered Kester.
"So, I take it you are going to fight with us?" Asked Tsunami with a knowing grin on her face.
"Oh, Ya I am! I wouldn't miss this for the world, don't worry I will be able to take care of myself, I was one of the greatest warriors of my time under Scarlet." Kestrel said cockily.
Tsunami nodded. "Ok so what is the plan for right now?"
"We don't know yet. I haven't been out of this cave in forever, its usually Webs and Dunes who is getting resources for us. I have no idea what to expect when we get there." Answered Kestrel. "The Spy will be waiting right outside the kingdom for us, when we get there, we are to meet him and he will tell us what to expect and what to look out for."
"Ok, let's get going then." Said Clay
Kestrel nodded and pulled on the lever to the door and the bolder rolled out of the way, as the boulder rolled away the morning light was lighting up the dragonet's scales with natural light for the first time in their life.
They all had huge grins on their face as the outside world was shown to them for the first time. They all ran outside and jumped into the air waiting for Kestrel to join them so she could show them the way. The moment she made it up to them they all turned for the Sky kingdom.
5 hours later
"There it is!" shouted Tsunami to the others with the sky kingdom in sight. The sky kingdom, while not very big, was very extravagant. All the homes and castle were built into the mountains and stood on top of the peaks.
While it was known that the skywings were formidable warriors' race, it shown that they were quite adept at being very great architects being able to build such a huge castle on top of a mountain. No other kingdom compared in placement in their castle in such a place.
They heard a roar right below the area they were flying in. "That's the spy, let's go." Said Kestrel.
They all dove down and landed around a lone skywing, the skywing started to look around at the dragonets and then looked at Kestrel. "This is it? they don't look special at all." said the spy disappointed.
"Trust me, they could kill us so quickly we wouldn't even know it till it happened." Said Kestrel. "They could more than likely be able to wage a war all by themselves and be able to come out on top against any tribe."
The skywing spy looked shocked. "Ok... then, king Gill is locked up in the bottom of Scarlets castle there are guards everywhere in there. There will be no escaping quietly or getting in there quietly."
The more that the spy went on the bigger the grin formed on all the dragonets faces. They have been wanting to truly test themselves out on somebody else forever now.
The spy suddenly started to look worried. "You should know about … her."
"What do you mean her?" asked Kestrel frowning. "If you're talking about Scarlet, I promise you she won't be a challenge for even the raingwing."
"NO! It's not the queen. It's... it's her champion, her demon." said the Spy afraid that she would appear out of thin air.
"Ohh please, so what a Skywing warrior that only appears every so often is her champion. I promise you that they will be no issue." Said kestrel.
"I wish it was that simple, it's what she can do is what is truly terrifying." said the spy "she was the one Scarlet sent to capture Gill and she did it without even getting a scratch on her, she is just a dragonet."
"She has firescales, if that wasn't bad enough, she can make fire appear at will, it's like she can control them with just a wave of her hand and then you are surrounded by fire and trapped."
All the Dragonets were shocked because that sounded really familiar to something like what they have. Kestrell on the other hand was so shocked because of something else she was realizing.
"How old is she and how is she alive, Skywings have been killing off any skywing born with strange powers?" Asked Kestrel worrying.
"She is six years old. I was there when she was born. Her egg was being stolen by an ice wing on the brightest night we caught the ice wing and had her killed. When the skywing egg hatched that night almost an eighth of the palace was destroyed by the fire that spewed out of her egg." said the spy.
Kestrel stopped listening to him after she heard the part about the Icewing. "She is alive, she is alive and I didn't know it." Kestrel thought to herself.
"Dragonets! We have added on to the target list by one." Kestrel said cutting of the spy.
All the dragonets just nodded understanding at what she was meaning. So didn't the spy.
"You got to be kidding me, you are going to try and kill that thing." she was cut off when Kestrel spun around and slapped him in the face with her tail.
"That thing... is my daughter." Kestrel said whispering to the spy with a dangerous tone.
"Fine then, go get yourselves killed, im out of here." The spy said dismissing what she said as craziness.
Kestrel turned back to the dragonets "So I am thinking that me, Clay, and Tsunami goes after my daughter, and that Sunny, Starflight, and Glory goes after the King."
All the dragonets nodded to each other. "Sounds good to me," said Clay.
"Good let's go kick some But!" Said Kestrel excitedly launching up first. All the dragonets launched up into the air heading for the kingdom.
It didn't even take 5 minutes for guards to come to try and meat them. Everybody already agreed that that weren't going in with a stealth approach... the guards had no idea what happened to them.
Two vines shot straight up into the air bursting out of the ground under the two skywing guards. The vines wrapped around the guards back feet and dragged them down to the earth and their heads hit the ground knocking them out cold.
The dragonets and Kestrel kept on flying like nothing ever happened, and kept on their way to the castle.
They only had one more incident with guards on their way to the castle and it was handled in the same way as last time. When they made it to the entrance of the palace Clay quickly landed on the balcony that you were supposed to land on and quickly knocked out the two guards by having two big blunt pillars of rock burst out of the ground and hit both of the guards in the head.
The other dragonets and Kestrel landed right behind him. "Ok, this is where we split for a little bit, we are going to meat back at the cave ok." Ordered Kestrel. All the dragonets just nodded again.
With Clays group
They immediately started charging down the castle hallway not stopping for anything. Two guards crossed their path and immediately regretted that decision.
Clay had a piece of the floor come up and trap the guard on the left by slamming him up into the wall and trapping him there. Tsunami got the other one by doing something very similar with her just knocking the other guy out by blasting the side of the guard's head with a jet of water knocking him out cold.
They went unbothered all the way up until they made it to the throne room door. The two guards there met the same fate as the others.
"Allright, be prepared for anything there could be who knows how many guards in there." Kestrel warned. "Also remember that my daughter could be in there and she is just as dangerous as you guys are, Lest Go!"
They burst down the door and they saw something that they were not prepared for.
Scarlet was terrified with a strange dragon backing her into a corner where she couldn't get away, with fire all around them.
Half an hour ago
Peril was pissed, she had a revelation just a few minutes ago that made her realize that her whole life up until this moment was a lie. Scarlet was going to pay.
"i didn't need to eat those black rocks at all, Scarlet had and still has no power over me. She probably only poisoned the food I was eating that wasn't the black rocks and had the antidote placed on the black rocks to make it seem like I needed them." she thought to herself.
Peril realized just moments ago that she didn't eat a single black rock on her mission to catch the king of the seawings.
"What should I do now... all the dragons I killed just because I was falsely threatened by Scarlet, what am I going to do to her?" Peril thought to herself. "i know exactly what I will do, she will tell me everything that was a lie to me and I will make her suffer the fate I have made others suffer because of her."
The moment she was done with those thoughts, Peril started her way up the stairs to go to the throne room where Scarlet was almost always at.
The guards guarding the throne room let her right in none the wiser on what was going on and not wanting to ask about why Peril was there.
They let Peril right in and Scarlet looked at her confused. "I didn't summon you here, why are you here?" Scarlet asked her confused.
"Nobody did summon me here, I came here on my own free will... and that is how it is going to be for now on." Peril answered in a dangerous tone.
Scarlet did not like the tone of voice she was talking to her with. "Peril watch what you say or I will make shore you don't get any black rocks for the rest of the WEEK!" Scarlet said angrily.
Peril shut her up by jumping right Infront of her and stood dangerously close to Scarlet. "And that is where you are wrong Scarlet, you see... I will admit you are pretty smart... but you made one poor, poor decision when you had me go after Gill." Peril said to Scarlet who was starting to realize her poorly made mistake.
"You let me out without having me bring any black rocks with me and I was gone for almost a whole week and I never got sick once, not even a little bit." Peril said angrily. "And now, for once in my life I am going to get something I have always wanted."
Scarlet was slowly inching backwards as far as she could in her throne, fearing for her life she asked "And what would that be?"
Peril got an evil grin on her face "You are going to tell me the one thing that I have always wanted to know, if you answerer everything I have a question for I might just spare your life."
"Now first question, why did you keep me alive, I know very well that skywings kill any dragonet born with any strange powers or deformities, and don't bullCrap me with like, because I care?" Asked Peril.
"This is a question with a long answer... Have you ever heard of the dragonets of destiny?" Asked Scarlet.
"I have heard of them before, but I don't know much about them, all I know is that they are supposed to be a group of five that is supposed to stop the war." Perils said confused on what that has to do with her.
"Well to simply put it... You are a dragonet of destiny." Said Scarlet
"What... do you mean I am a dragonet of destiny?" said Peril with even more confusion.
"On the night you were born, we caught a intruder trying to steal your egg, we all new that the brightest night the dragonets of destiny were supposed to hatch and we knew that they needed a skywing egg so we were guarding the hatchery extra tightly that night, we also knew that your egg was supposed to hatch that night." Said Scarlet.
"Ok so, I was hatched on the brightest night and my egg was almost stolen, that doesn't mean I am a dragonet of destiny." said Peril in denial.
"Trust me... when you hatched it was one of the craziest days in history of this palace." Scarlet said confidently. "The moment your egg started to hatch fire was spewing all around your egg, and the floor was superheated till it was lava all around your egg, also there was reported earthquakes, floods, and other strange things going on all around the place."
To say Peril was shocked would be an understatement. "So, what you are saying is... I was supposed to be born to end the war and make peace with all the tribes... but you kept me from that just so you could have a freaking death machine that you could flaunt me around knowing who and what I was." Peril was now even more angry than when she got here.
"I'm not going to kill you bet you are still definitely going to suffer to what you done to me and what you had me do to others." Peril said pissed off.
"What do you mea-" Scarlet was cut off when Peril suddenly shot her hand forward and barely poked Scarlets tong
Right before Peril had done this the door was flung open with three dragons looking at what was happening with confusion at what Peril had just done.
But what was done was done. Scarlet started to scream bloody murder with her mouth pouring out fire like she was trying to shoot fire but none was coming out. She suddenly passed out from the pain of her tong being burnt off.
Peril pleased at what the outcome was turned around to look at who the intruders were. "And who might you be?".
The mudwing looked at her in shock at what she had done. "We... we are the dragonets of destiny.
Peril was once again shocked this day. She was now staring at the group she was supposed to be with but was denied. "My name... is Peril."
Sorry, this took so long to upload, I have been trying to upload about on a weekly schedule, I wanted to upload this two days ago but I went and stayed the night at a friend's house to hang out with him then it was my little sister's birthday party. I hope you like the chapter.
Chapter 7
As of 9/13/2022, wings of power is now over the one thousand view mark, I am a little proud of myself for making it to that mark, thank you for reading my story. Please comment and tell me what you think of this story. I am listening to Sabaton's Resist and Bite for this chapter.
Kestrel has done a lot in her life. Betray Scarlet, birth a dragonet of destiny, join the Talons of Peace, help raise the dragonets, and those are just a few examples. To say she has been around the block is an understatement. None of those prepared her for what she had just seen her thought-to-be dead daughter did to Scarlet.
Peril had just done something that she dreamed of doing almost on a weekly basis, she just watched Peril straight up remove Scarlet's ability to speak with her annoying voice for the rest of Scarlet's life... Heck ya.
Kestrel had wondered what her daughter would be like when she got to meet them for the first time, talk about one heck of a first impression.
"Umm, not that I am complaining or anything but, why did you do that to Scarlet?" Asked Clay confused on the sight that laid before him.
"I just now found out that she had been lying to me to my whole life." Explained Peril "let me properly introduce myself, my name is Peril, ex-champion of Scarlet, now traitor, and supposedly Dragonet of Destiny, trust me... it was a shock when I learned all this just a little bit ago and I can understand why you wouldn't believe me." Peril finished frowning.
"Trust us, it was a big shock to learn you were still alive, we were told that you were dead because the dragon that tried to take you to us got captured." Tsunami said.
"Scarlet just said that to me a little bit ago actually, she said some ice wing tried to kidnap me." Peril explained. "In my opinion, Scarlet war stupid for keeping me, a dragonet of destiny alive just so she could have her fun."
"In the end, it didn't turn out for her did it." Kestrel said looking down at Scarlet's downed body.
"No, I guess it didn't did it." Peril said jokingly, she was suddenly confused. "Wait a minute... how did you get in here the guards would never even let you into the city let alone into the throne room."
Tsunami got a grin on her face "We fought are way into here."
Peril started to laugh in disbelief "You, there are only three of you there is no way you could have ever beaten all the guards." Peril stopped laughing and suddenly looked serious. "No seriously... how did you get in here, there would have been like... I don't know about twenty guards guarding the palace."
"As I said, we fought our way into here... it was actually quite easy." Tsunami answered back.
Kestrel snorted at that "enough of this, let's introduce ourselves then we can get out of here."
Clay started with a smile looking at Peril with a smile realizing that she might be a good friend like all his other friends that he grew up with. "Hello my name is Clay it is nice to meet you" he said still smiling.
"And my name is Tsunami." She raised her hand to greet the skywing but Peril quickly backed up. Tsunami frowned at this wondering if she did something wrong.
"Sorry, I don't want to hurt you, don't forget that I have fire scales." Peril explained. "If I just barely graze you, I could possibly kill you by accident."
Tsunamis eyes doubled in size realizing what had almost happened. Sunny wasn't here right now to heal any wounds she might get. She almost lost her hand right there with that little mistake. "Thanks" Tsunami muttered thankful for the warning.
"And that leaves me, my name is Kestrel" she said while smiling, excited for this moment.
"What are you smiling for?" Peril asked confused why Kestrel was smiling.
"Do you... do you know who I am Peril?" Kestrel said with her smile fading.
"No, I do not, am I supposed to?" Peril answered confused at what Kestrel meant.
"Well, no, but yes you were supposed to." Kestrel said a little sadly. "You may not believe me Peril... but you are my daughter."
To say that Peril was shocked would be an understatement. In her whole life, the thought of a family was almost unthinkable to her with how she lived. And now here was her mother that came to her. She was suddenly angry.
"What do you mean... you're my mother." Peril said angrily. "If you were why would you leave me to scarlet."
Kestrel was hurt at this. "I didn't want to leave you, Scarlet had found out I was about ready to leave the Skywings and she kicked me out before I could get you."
They were cut off from their conversation by people yelling down the hallway angrily.
"I don't want to cut off you heart-felt reunion but we got company!" Tsunami said annoyed at the incoming guards.
The guards were almost to the throne room doors but then Clay jumped up and slammed into the ground right Infront of the guards. Him slamming the ground and using his powers at the same exact time caused a shockwave of rock that flew the guards back almost 40 feet.
"Let's go we got to get out of here!" Clay yelled. They all quickly ran out of the throne room.
"So that is how you fought your way in here, you can control an element like I can!" Peril said surprised.
They were running by the guards when one of the guards caught a glimpse at who was running past him. "YOU! traitor I always knew you were going to be a traitor DEAMON!"
Peril stopped and was angry. "I was never loyal in the first place, the only reason I did what I did to dragons was because I was forced to then, now... I am free to do what I want." Peril kept on running after that.
They all made it to the entrance and launched off towards home. Clay looked back. "I hope that Glory, Starflight, and Sunny are doing good."
"I'm sure they are fine, if one of them gets hurt it's not like Sunny couldn't just heal them anyway." Tsunami said confidently.
"Ya, I guess you are right..." Clay answered back.
With Glory's group
Starflight was standing Infront of about twenty Skywing guards who were all frozen and tied up with vines wrapped around them. Starflight was waiting patiently for Glory, and Sunny to get the king of the Seawings out of the dungeons.
Starflight looked at all the skywings who were frozen by his shadow powers. "You guys are all stupid, the moment we start making a racket all of you guys come running out of the prisons to see what was going on and you all get captured... you guards suck." Starflight said bored at the fact that this mission was stupidly easy.
All the guards gave him a death glare but remained silent at the fact that he was right. Their pride was shattered.
Starflight thoughts were cut off when he saw Glory and Sunny come up out of the ground with two seawings who looked a little beaten up but not too bad.
"May I ask which one of you is king Gill?" Starflight asked politely.
"That would be me." answered the Light green Seawing.
Starflight immediately bowed to him. "It is an honor to meet you, your majesty." Starflight said respecting the King.
"You don't see that every day, a nightwing that knows how to be respectful. You have my greatest thanks, your friends already introduced themselves." Gill said respectfully. "I know you are the dragonets of destiny, what is your name?"
"My name is Starflight." Starflight answered getting back up from his bow and smiling at how polite the King was being.
"It's nice to meet you Starflight of the Dragonets of Destiny." Gill said smiling back.
"All right enough with this, the mission is not done yet let's get out of here and head home." Glory said while running for the exit.
They all quickly made their way out of the palace and launched for home.
Back with Clay group.
It took them about five hours to make it back to the cave and they all went inside.
"Looks like we made it back before them." said Tsunami snorting in amusement.
Peril and Kestrel went to a different room more than likely so they can catch up with each other on what has been going on with their life's.
Clay just looked at them leaving with a smile feeling good at what their mission accomplished, they brought Kestrel some happiness in her life and brought her daughter back.
Webs came bursting into the room in a panic to see who had opened the door. The moment he saw it was just them he was relived. "Oh, it's just you guys, where have you been?"
"We were just saving the king of the Seawings was all" Tsunami said casually with a grin on her face.
"What do you mean you were saving the king of the-" Gill was cut off when the Boulder was starting to open again at the entrance of the cave.
The moment the king laid eyes on Webs he was pissed. "You!" Gill yelled as he spotted Webs.
Webs eyes widened in fear when he saw the pissed of Gill running at him at full speed.
"Oh shi-" Webs was cut off again when Gill tackled him into the ground.
Gill didn't get too far with mauling Webs because he was thrown off of him by Clay.
Gill was about to pounce on the one who threw him but froze in his tracks once he saw the mudwing. Clay wasn't fully an adult yet but mudwings are naturally a large species, especially the bigwings of a group. Clay was easily a few feet taller than Gill. Especially stronger.
Gill was cut off on his intimidated thoughts when he spotted Tsunami, He was less focused on the fact that there was another seawing here, he was more focused on the pattern that was on her wings.
Gills gaze quickly returned back to Webs remembering what he had done. "He kept her alive... my daughter is still alive."
He started to shuffle his way over to Tsunami and grabbed her in a hug shocking her. She was even more shocked when she started to hear him sob and start muttering "Your alive" over and over again. She was starting to become uncomfortable but tried to remain respectful for the king.
Everybody else in the cave was looking at her and Gill confused, except for Webs who just looked guilty.
Gill quickly pulled himself together and backed up to get another look at Tsunami. "You look just like her, don't you?" Gill said with a smile.
"Look like who exactly?" Tsunami said even more confused now at the king's words.
"You should know but sadly that traitor over there didn't even bother to tell you who your parents were." Gill said in fury at Webs who was still looking down guilty.
"Who are my parents?" Tsunami asked worried to know at what might have happened to them.
Gill looked her right in the face with a sad smile. "You... are the daughter of my wife queen Coral."
Tsunami just got a shock of her life, not to say that she wasn't happy. She quickly hugged Gill and let go and looked at him in wonder. "How... how can you be shore that I am your daughter, not that I don't believe you but... how can you be shore?"
Gill gave her an honest answer that proved everything. "I know you are because we let Webs guard the royal hatchery and he was reported missing that same day with a missing egg, your egg to be exact, also you have the royal markings on your wing, only a prince, princess, or queen can have the markings that you have."
Tsunami gave Gill an even longer hug with a big smile on her face so happy that she got to find out who her parents were.
Gills eyes met Peril and he was suddenly terrified. He backed up to the opposite side of the room while letting go of Tsunami. "YOU LET THAT THING IN HERE!" he yelled.
Peril looked down in guilt and muttered she was sorry. Clay suddenly got defensive in Peril's defense. "Don't you call her a thing, she has done nothing wrong to you."
Gill was pissed at what Clay had said. "She killed all my guards, they didn't even stand a chance she killed almost all of them in just a few minutes before they even got to fight back." Gill said while still staring terrified at Peril. "She is the reason I was caught in the first place, the only one of my royal guards who made it out alive is poor Snail over there.
Snail was still standing near the entrance trying to not look shocked, wonder, and in fear all at the exact time at all the revelations happening around Her.
Clay looked at Peril in shock at first but seeing her guilty expression, his resolve hardened and he looked back at Gill. "Peril has been nothing but kind and trustworthy since I met her, it is not her fault that she was controlled by Scarlet to do terrible things." Clay said finishing his defense.
Peril gave him a look of wonder. Nobody has ever truly shown kindness and went to her defense, till now.
"You can trust her all you want but I will not." Gill said firmly.
"Whatever you say king Gill but I will let you know now, she is a dragonet of destiny and she will be guarding you till we get you home." Clay said.
Gill looked back at Peril, who was still looking at Clay with a blush on her face. Gill knew that look "jeez that was quick, she is already smitten with him." Gill quickly shook his head to regain his focus. He wasn't stupid, he was starting to realize why Scarlet had such a dragon under control at one point.
He saw how powerful the Dragonets of Destiny were when they were escaping the Skywing capital. He also saw how powerful Peril was. He was starting to feel bad about how bad he was treating Peril.
Gill looked at Peril and sighed. "Look... I am not forgiving you, but I am giving you a second chance to gain my trust."
Peril gave him a look of thanks while slightly smiling. "Thank you, your majesty."
Gill suddenly got a focused look on his face. "Speaking of returning home... when are we leaving. My wife has more than likely by now, got word of my capture."
Kestrel suddenly coughed to gain everybody's attention. "And this is where I come in and congratulate you but have to inform you all dragonets of something."
"Your mission in not over yet and I think this is going to be a goodbye." Kestrel said waiting for a response she knew was coming from her daughter.
"What do you mean goodbye? I just got to meet you for the first time." Peril said upset.
"Don't worry Peril, I want to get to know my daughter... but after you end the war so we can get to know another without interruption." Kestrel said with a small smile.
Peril got a determined look on her face. "Then I will end the war as fast as I can."
"Now that is more like it!" Kestrel said "Dragonets... I think you already know the mission."
Everybody nodded their heads knowing what she was going to say. They were ready.
"Go and bring the king home... AND END THIS WAR ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Kestrell yelled her final order to the dragonets.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I would like it if you comment on my fix.
Chapter 8
Welcome to the new chapter, this is probably going to be a simpler character-building chapter, the last chapter was more or less "Getting the crew together arc" I'm thinking there are going to be around eight different arcs to this story, each about 5 to 10 chapters long. I'm not going to get into what each arc is, that would be spoiling. If you are looking for OC character I am sorry but I will try to avoid those at all cost, I looked everywhere in the books for a royal Seawing guard and Snail is one of the few I could put into this story without it being too weird, she is a royal guard and I don't know why I even put her in there to be honest, at the very beginning of planning, Peril was just going to kill all the guards that were guarding Webs but I was like, You know what... you get to live because I need filler material. Get ready for a little surprise in this chapter. Anyways like always, I recommend listening to the YouTube playlist I have the url in my profile bio, I am listening to Wherever I May Roam by Metallica. If you haven't figured out yet... I like Metallica, enjoy the chapter.
They have been flying for a few hours know, they were on the way to the diamond spray Delta where they would camp out then fly to the nearest island and island hop their way to the Sea kingdom from there.
The dragonets have studied the map of Pyrrhia before but they still weren't very familiar with the area so they were having Snail lead them to the delta. Said dragon took a little pride in knowing that she was leading six of the most powerful dragons of all time.
The dragonets were in the back of the group discussing something very important while they were flying.
"Don't you think it is a little weird that there are six of us and not five, the prophecy said there would only be five?" Argued Glory to the group. "Don't get me wrong I am happy that Peril is alive but the prophecy stated that one of us should not be here... I think there is something going on."
"The nightwing who had the prophecy probably just made a mistake is all, I am sure that it happens every now and then." Starflight tried to defend his species.
Tsunami just frowned at this. "I am not saying it wasn't, all I am saying is that we should at least have it on the back of our minds till it is resolved."
"We need to get on a more important topic," Clay said trying to change the subject not wanting an argument between his friends. "We need to discuss how we end the war."
Sunny nodded in agreement. She didn't care too much for what the prophecy said on how they were going to end the war. She didn't want to have to be forced to kill two of the sandwing queens if they didn't have to. "Ya if the prophecy has already been wrong once, why don't we just scrap the part where it said on how we end the war."
All the dragonets all agreed at this. Now it was just on the how. Starflight got an idea.
"We may be already starting a pretty good plan. It won't matter on who we choose to be queen if we don't have any support from the tribes." Starflight started. "We are already helping the Seawings buy getting their king back, that will definitely get us in their good graces, don't even get me started since apparently the queen is Tsunami's mother, we are sure to get their support after that. Starflight finished his long plan.
All the dragonets thought it sounded like a pretty good idea. "We will eventually have to meet the three sandwing princesses." Glory said.
"From what I heard, it doesn't sound like any of them would be very good queens, they all have their terrible flaws that I could see backlashing and just hurting the kingdom even more." Tsunami said grimly.
Clay sighed "We will find out that part eventually, let's just get king Gill home for right now."
It was about to get dark, with the sun just on the horizon. They could just see the delta off in the distance, they were still about a day and a half until they got to the edge of the ocean. The diamond spray delta was huge, it had the biggest river system in all of Pyrrhia that stretched almost all the way across Pyrrhia going through three of the tribes.
They all landed in a big opening in the trees to set camp for the night.
Clay just simply uprooted a dead tree by picking up the earth from underneath it and brought over to them and they broke it into a few pieces, peril poked the middle of it and it was almost instantly a raging inferno.
Gill and Snail just watched shocked because they never got to see Clay or Tsunami use their powers. Gill looked over at his daughter "Tsunami if Clay can control the earth, what can you control?"
Right after Gill said that it started to rain, the fire was about to go out but Tsunami got a grin on her face and turned to her father. "Why don't I show you"
Tsunami whipped one of her claws into the air and the rain around them froze and stopped falling.
The light from the fire that was regaining its size again was glistening off the rain drops that were frozen all around them. It was absolutely stunning because it looked like thousands of tiny little glowing diamonds were floating all around them.
Gill and Snail could only look around in absolute stunned silence at probably one of the most beautiful sights they had ever seen.
Once Gill got over his shock, he quickly turned back around to look at Tsunami "You can control water?"
Tsunamis grin grew even bigger "Yep, I have control of the water." Her smile faded just a hair bit. "Clay, can you please make us some shelter? I can do this all day but I would rather not."
Clay just nodded his head and slammed his back foot into the ground. Four pillars burst out of the ground around them startling Snail.
Clay started to look like he was focusing himself when he started to slowly lift up his paw. At first, Gill didn't think Clay was doing anything until he started to feel the earth shake just a hair bit. Gill forgot to look up, when he looked up he was shocked to see a huge slab of rock floating above him and slowly lowering onto the four pillars. When the slab made contact there was a quiet boom.
Clay loosened up a little bit after being done and smiled "Done!".
Tsunami flicked her paw and all the raindrops in the makeshift pavilion went flying away like pesky nats. After that Tsunami loosened up too. Controlling a thousand tiny little pieces of water was almost ten times as straining to control as a huge wave.
The group all surrounded the fire, quietly enjoying the warmth the fire produced.
The silence was cut off when Glory asked "Who is going to take the first watch tonight?"
Starflight just raised his paw and nominated himself for the first watch. The rain was starting to slow down and the clouds moving out showing how bright the moons were out tonight by lighting up the woods around them.
Starflight got an idea, right before everybody goes to sleep, he was going to see if he could find something to eat.
He told the group what he was planning and started to walk out of the pavilion into the brightly lit night. He was only a few dragon lengths out of the pavilion when he started to stumble a little bit like he was suddenly tired.
All the dragonets watched him in confusion at this because they knew he wasn't that tired, he just nominated himself to look out for the night. They were suddenly shocked when Starflight just collapsed right where he was standing. "STARFLIGHT!" they all yelled at the same time scared for him. Dragons especially ones as strong as the dragonets of destiny.
All the dragonets besides Peril who didn't want to catch the woods on fire, ran over to Starflight trying to find out what was wrong with him. They looked all around him finding nothing broken or bleeding. The only thing that was different about Starflight was... his light gray teardrop scale next to his eye was glowing white now.
They tried to wake him us but he wouldn't move a muscle. They picked him up and brought him under the pavilion, and set him not to far away from the fire.
"This... is not good, we are still in hostile territory and Starflight has conked out" Clay echoed out what everybody else was thinking.
"What are we going to do?" Sunny asked worrying for Starflight's wellbeing.
"The only thing we can do is wait until he wakes up, the moment that happens and we make sure he is fine we get to the sea kingdom," Tsunami said.
Gill was not pleased. "WHAT! We need to get there as soon as we can, Coral is waiting for me."
Clay didn't like that. "Quiet, the only reason you are even here is because of us, unless you want to go by yourself and get captured again, you are going to wait with us."
Gill was upset and walked over to the far end of the pavilion. Clay was still lightly growling and turned to his friends. "Everybody get some sleep, I will watch first then Tsunami will get next watch." Clay said with his bigwings tone.
Everybody just nodded and went to their own area to sleep for the night. Clay walked over close to Starflight's prone form and guarded over him in case he woke up and needed help while looking out for threats.
When it came time Clay woke Tsunami up and went to sleep for the rest of the night.
Tomorrow morning
Clay woke up with a big yawn and stretched himself out. He looked over to Starflight and saw he was still asleep. Clay just frowned at this. He looked over to Tsunami and saw she was starting to doze off.
He smirked at Tsunami "lazy claws," he thought to himself. He was just joking to himself, he knew she had to be drop dead tired from coming all the way here and not getting much sleep. He was going to let her sleep all she could for now.
His eyes quickly flipped over to Starflight when he saw him flinch in his sleep. Clay walked over to Starflight and he quietly pocked Starflight trying to wake him up. Clay was shocked when Starflight's eyes shot open.
Starflight shot up clenching his head. There were pictures flying through his head.
A giant dragon standing Infront of him and all his friends. A huge explosion and a flash of light. A group of dragons consisting of an Ice wing, nightwing, sandwing, seawing, and rainwing. The earth was rumbling and a huge dragon bursting out of the ground. And darkness. A lot of darkness.
The pictures were quickly gone and he was still having a killer headache. "What was that!" He thought to himself. He started to hear a voice "Are you ok Starflight?"
Starflight opened his eyes and Clay was standing Infront of him. "Ya Clay, I am fine." Starflight nodded "I just got a killer headache.
Clay sagged in relief "great, that's good" Clay said calmly "You collapsed last night when you started to walk out of the pavilion."
Starflight nodded, he could still remember that. He had just stepped out and his head started to feel like it was splitting open.
All the dragonets started to wake up and his headache suddenly got worse when he all heard them yell "STARFLIGHT IS AWAKE!"
Starflight's paws flew to his head again in pain. "Please don't yell!"
All the dragonets just looked at him in confusion. "We... we didn't say anything." Sunny whispered.
Starflight's eyes shot open bloodshot as he was realizing what was happening. He could hear their thoughts. Should he say something?
He was already feeling guilty already right after that thought. They were all practically brothers and sisters from where they grew up together, they would always worry about him.
Starflight was still hearing their thoughts and it was loud. Gill and Snail had already woken up and their thoughts didn't help either. Starflight slowly stood up and looked at the dragonets "I... I can hear your guy's thoughts."
Clay stumbled back in shock. "Wha... what, I thought you couldn't" he stuttered out in shock.
"I never have been able to... till now anyway," Starflight muttered out to the group.
Sunny smiled at him. "That is great Starflight. I know you have always wanted to be able."
Starflight was shocked that they weren't upset. "You guys are not upset, with me being able to read your thoughts there will practically be no privacy."
Glory just scoffed at that. "Ohh please, like we have any secrets between each other" She smiled faintly remembering some of the embarrassing things that they did as dragonets. "Even if you did hear a thought that you shouldn't have heard, we trust you not to tell anybody you shouldn't."
Starflight gave her a slight smile thanking her for her kindness.
"Glory is right, don't worry Starflight, you know I trust you." Clay said.
"And me too." Sunny and Tsunami said at the same time.
"I am not going to lie to you, I don't know you all that well." Peril said. "But I guarantee you that I will learn to trust you too."
Starflight gave her a nod and a slight smile, appreciating her honesty. "Thank you, you guys... this means a lot to me." Starflight said.
Starflight's smile faded when he remembered another thing. "Guys one more thing."
Clay just looked at him and asked him "Ya bud, what is it?"
"I think I can see the future to... I think I can anyway, it was weird." Starflight said confused at his own weird dream he had.
"You can, that's awesome." Clay said quietly but exited, remembering about Starflight's headache. "What did you see?"
"I am not going to lie to you." Starflight said still confused. "I have no idea. First there was this big dragon, then a big explosion, a weird group of dragons who looked angry at us, and another huge dragon bursting out of the ground."
Clay and the rest of the dragonets looked just as confused as Starflight was. "You don't even have a clue what all that could mean, you are the smartest one out of the group."
Starflight shook his head. "Not a clue, I didn't recognize a single one of the dragons in that and I did not recognize where that explosion was at, all I know about the explosion was that it was big enough to blow up a whole mountain and that's fore sure."
Clay was suddenly worried "You said you didn't recognize the area, right?"
"It was definitely nowhere near here, I do know that." Starflight said reassuringly. "It was somewhere really dark."
Clay became relaxed at that. "Good, I can fight against a lot but I have no way to defend against that."
Gill suddenly interrupted them. "As interesting as all this is, can we please get on our way, my wife is waiting for my return home."
Clay sighed "Starflight, are you good enough to fly?"
"Ya my headache is starting to get better now, I think I am starting to get used to this mind reading thing." Starflight answered truthfully.
"Ok then, everybody pack up and let's get on our way." Clay said.
All the dragonets just nodded and packed up the small amount of stuff they had on them like scrolls. They were on their way again in just about five minutes leaving the pavilion behind.
It took them about three hours to get to the edge of the delta and they took a quick rest before they were going to start their way to the first island.
While they were resting Tsunami was standing in the surf enjoying the feeling of the ocean for the first time in her life with a huge smile enjoying the beauty the sea has to offer.
"So how long should it take for us to make it to the Sea kingdom?" Starflight asked the King.
If it was just me and my seawing guards we could be there by the end of tomorrow, but with you having to stop at an island every now and then it will probably take us a little while longer... probably the day after tomorrow.
Starflight just nodded to this and went to spread the news between the dragonets.
They all launched off four the first island that they could see way off in the distance.
Thank you for reading this chapter. I know allot of you are surprised that I gave Starflight mindreading and forseight. But if you go back to chapter to at when the dragonets were born, remember that clay had busted a hole into the roof of the cave where the moonlight shined down on the eggs so Starflight was born under the THREE moons, but I will tell you know, it isn't like darkstalker's powers that he got from the three moons where it made all of his nightwing powers strong. Most of the three moons powers went to mindreading to Starflight making him stupidly strong in that regard, his foresight powers are about average. Starflight's extra strong mindreading powers will come in hand in later chapters, it already showed a little bit by him allready being able to get over the headaches most nightwings get.
Chapter 9
Welcome to the new chapter. Same stuff as always please review and listen to your favorite rock or metal. Today I am listening to "halo on fire".
Question and answers:
Q: from guest C.O.B: It seems like Sunny's a little underwhelming compared to the rest my question is are you going to try and make it to where she's somewhat like Gaara that she can control sand, but just doesn't know it yet because she's been living under the mountain this whole time surrounded by just Stone?
A: no, the powers that Sunny has now is what she will always be her powers, the only thing that will change is she will get way stronger with it.
Now on to the chapter
It was a pretty nice trip to the sea kingdom. Since they were deep into sea territory, they had absolutely no interference on their trip. They made frequent stops at islands to eat and rest but besides that it was uneventful.
The only thing that was interesting that had happened was a crab pinched Clay's tong when he tried to eat it.
All the dragons teased him about it almost all the way there with him pouting at their constant teasing.
"Clay, I don't even know why you tried to eat that thing, you had just eaten at the last island." Peril said smiling at him.
"It was something different, and king Gill had literally just talked about how nice crab tastes." Clay said still trying to nurse his swollen tongue.
Peril just giggled at him and stared ahead at the island they were flying to. Gill had said that is where the Summer Palace was at along with making sure they would swear under oath that they would never give away its secret location. The location of the summer palace has been kept a secret for over two thousand years.
They were now flying right towards the island that had huge rock walls all around the island with a thick canopy of trees on top of it.
A group of about five seawings was starting to fly towards them, more likely to intercept them and make sure they were not invaders.
Gill dove down to go meet the group of guards. The guards froze in shock when they saw who was coming down to meet them. "King Gill! Hurry one of you go and get the queen." the leader of the guards said. One of the guards dove into the water and left.
Gill smiled at who the lead guard was. "Shark, it's good to see you," Gill said with a smile.
Shark gave him a smile too. "It's good to see you also Gill" Shark then frowned. "Where is the rest of the guards at? You left with a whole Battalion with you."
Gill looked down sadly, a few of those royal guards were his friends that he trusted quite well. "Dead almost all of them, the Skywings had gotten word of our plans and ambushed us at the edge of the rainforest, the only one who made it was Snail."
Gill looked up at the dragonets "Also Shark, make sure you treat those Dragonets with the utmost respect," Gill said while looking back at shark. "They are the reason I am still alive and here."
Shark was about to ask a question but was cut off when Gill started again. "I will give you a story here in a little bit first I am sure they would like to get something to eat and rest." Gill said. "I will tell you the story when my wife gets here."
Shark just nodded to him in respect and waved the dragonets over to him. "Follow me, I will show you where you are staying for your stay."
The dragonets followed him down to the base of the island and hesitated when Shark dove under the water.
"Let's go, I don't want to be left behind." Tsunami said excited and slightly annoyed at everybody's hesitation. She dove into the water.
Starflight shrugged his shoulders "I didn't sense any malice from commander Shark."
They all dove in after that and quickly saw a big opening right under the water line that Tsunami and Shark were swimming into.
There were multiple spots going through the cave where a dragon could swim up and get a breath of air on the way to the main cave. Clay didn't have to stop at any of them with him being a mudwing and being able to hold his breath for a long time, but Glory, Starflight, and especially Sunny had to stop at a few of them.
When the dragonets burst through the other side behind Shark, they were shocked at the sight of the Summer Palace in all of its glory. The summer palace was absolutely stunning with its impossible architecture. It was a big tower that was suspended in the air by four spiraling pillars that went all the way to the top with multiple levels that was being suspended by them.
The summer palace was easily just as big as the Skywing Palace if not even larger. There were seawings and even a few sandwings flying around the palace, leaving and landing on some of the levels of the palace.
"Wow!" was all the dragonets could say as they took in the sight in awe. Shark turned back to them and gave them a proud smile. "You are all making history. Most of you are the first of your dragon's species that have laid eyes on this place," Shark said proud of his tribe.
They all quickly flew to the top level of the pavilion. Shark stood Infront of them "This is where you shall wait for the queen, she should be here in a few minutes." Shark finished and dove down the pavilion, more than likely going to go do other duties.
Clay turned to Tsunami "Are you excited," Tsunami gave him a partially worried look "Yes, but what if she doesn't like me." Clay gave a confident smile.
"I am sure she will love you, she is your mother." Clay's smile grew even farther "And, you also saved your dad." Tsunami turned away to look at Gill.
"Trust me, when your egg went missing, she raised crap all over the seakingdom to look for you." Gill said giving her a small smile.
Tsunami was still worried partially, she was worried that she would not meet her mother's expectations and would be disappointed in her.
Her thoughts were cut off when the water exploded and a dark blue dragon shot out of the water and went straight up to the visitor level where they were at.
"This is it, I finally get to meet my mother." Tsunami thought to herself. The blue dragon landed on the pad and she was noticeably quite a bit bigger than her.
She ran straight at Gill and tackled him. "GILL, you're ok!" the queen said happily hugging him. She let go of him "How did you escape from Scarlet's arena, nobody ever escapes from that arena.
Gill gave her a smile and wrapped his tail around Coral's lovingly. "Why don't you ask your daughter and her friends."
Coral turned around to look at the new dragons in the room and her eyes landed on the seawing who looked strikingly a lot like a younger version of herself. It actually shocked her a little bit because all of her children looked either like her husband or a mix of her and Gill. "Are you sure" Coral whispered.
"Yes, she was the egg that was stolen from us by Webs." Gill said frowning remembering that his Webs life was spared. "She has the royal markings on her and everything."
Tsunami herd what Gill was talking about and lit her wings up so Coral could see the proof. Coral was shocked when she saw the royal markings.
Coral didn't miss a beat when she realized who Tsunami was and dashed at Tsunami, when she reached her, she wrapped her in a hug.
Tsunami swore that the wetness she felt on her face was not her crying.
"I have been looking for you for years now." Coral said raising her head from her hug looking down at Tsunami.
"Where have you been, after that traitor stole your egg we searched everywhere for you?"
Tsunami gave her mother a sad look. "You might not believe this but Webs never meant any harm to anybody."
Coral hissed at his name being mentioned in anything but hate. "I don't care, he is a traitor to his tribe and he stole my egg."
"He meant well mother bye stealing my egg." Tsunami continued "If it wasn't for him the-"
Tsunami was cut off when Coral saw the other dragonets in the room. "What are they doing in my palace, guards execute them at once."
Gill stood Infront of the dragonets who were standing there unimpressed at the threat in Infront of them. They could kill everybody in ten seconds and nobody but them would know what had happened. "Now Coral, I would rather you not do that to these dragons." Gill said giving her a stern stare.
"And why would I care what happens to them?" Coral said glaring at Gill.
"Because they saved me from Scarlet and they have gained my trust." Gill said glaring back at her "If they wanted to kill me or get the secret location to this place, then they could have done that hours ago."
Coral's glare never went away "So what, they could just be spies trying to get into your good graces."
Gill got a big grin on his face. "I know for sure they are not spies, do you happen to know who this group of dragons are?"
Coral gave him a confused look then looked over at the group of dragonets, Tsunami walked over and sat next to them still smiling. "No... should I?"
"You don't happen to recall a certain... Prophecy, would you?" Gill said, still grinning.
Coral's eyes grew in size at what she heard "Wait, you are saying they are the dragonets of destiny." then she was confused "Wait a minute, there are supposed to be five dragonets not six, who is the rainwing?"
Clay spoke up "Trust me, we are confused to... it's a long story, but we know for sure she is one of us too."
Coral got a doubtful look on her face and just shrugged her shoulders "Whatever, but I want to hear your story, as an author I love hearing good stories, especially one that gets my husband back to me."
A voice muttered back behind Coral, "Mom, when are we going to go back."
Coral got a surprised look on her face and looked back to Tsunami "Tsunami I forgot something." turning around and moved over a little bit. "I would like you to meet your younger sister, Anemone"
When Coral moved over there was a dragonet around two years old that pale blue scales and white-pink scales.
Tsunami walked over to Anemone and Coral left them so Tsunami could get to know her without her interference or presence. Coral walked Infront of the remaining dragonets and gave them a firm look. "Look, I am grateful on what you have done, but remember this... while you are here you will obey my rules... do you got that."
All of them nodded their heads yes "Yes queen Coral." Starflight said with all the others still nodding.
Coral then smiled at them "Good, I know that we may have got off on the wrong claw, but I would like to invite you all as honored guests for your time here."
"Thank you that would be nice," Starflight answered back.
"Good, I will have somebody take you to your guest rooms and get you something to eat." Coral said walking back to her daughters with Gill walking next to her.
"So, what do you think Starflight?" Clay asked turning to Starflight who was standing next to him.
Starflight gave him a slight nod, "She was being genuine with wanting to invite us as honored guests, but she was a little annoyed because of you being a mudwing and all that."
"Understandable with them being at war against them." Clay said then smiling "I tell you what I am looking forward to is the food."
Starflight looked at him with a slight smile "Clay, is all you think of food."
Clay nodded and said "That and you guys." Starflight gave him a kind smile in thanks.
A servant came up to take them to their room. Tsunami started to follow them looking down a little sadly, leaving her parents. Clay gave her a slight wave with his paw "Go and get to know them." Tsunami gave him a grateful smile and dove into the water with her parents.
The servant continued and took them to their room. Their room was around the middle of the palace, it was placed in the wall of the island palace. Their room was pretty big, easily able to fit all of them. The room also had a few shelves and even a table inside of it.
"Thank you," Sunny said to the seawing. The seawing nodded "Your food will be here shortly after it is finished." right after the seawing said that he left.
Allright that will be a wrap for this chapter for now. I know it is short but I have it short for a reason. This part is probably going to be hard to write because I never had a plan for it in the first place which was stupid for me. I always had a plan for the beginning and the end, never the middle part. Not that we are in the middle if I think about it. This is going to be a long series. This is going to be difficult because it was one of my least popular books, so I am going to try to rush through it. It will feel like that until we get to the fourth book, that is when it gets real. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter, comment please, it helps.
Chapter 10
Welcome back to the new chapter. Do you guys like my new Cover photo, I hope you do. As always, sit back and listen to your favorite hard rock song or metal. Today I am listening to "Unforgiven two" by Metallica. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Clay was eating some type of fish while Starflight was reading one of the scrolls he took with him. Glory and Sunny were talking with Peril trying to get to know her a little bit better.
It did not take them too long for them to learn that besides Peril's life as Scarlet's champion, she lived a very boring life. Since Peril had fire scales, she didn't really get too much. And with her being an executioner and all... well let's just say that didn't make her very popular in getting friends. The only thing she could talk about was all the stupid stuff she caught Scarlet doing because Peril was around her so much.
"I am not joking, if you were actually around Scarlet that much you would realize that she is actually not that smart. I mean just look at me, she kept me alive even though she knew who and what I was thinking she would be able to get away with controlling me with tricks." Peril said while shaking her head.
Peril then got a grin on her face "And let's not even talk about her obsession with weird pets, Scarlet once personally went to a scavenger den and caught a few of scavengers." Peril continued slightly chuckling at the memory. "She was so proud of herself that she even built them a little pin and everything. She let them out and without a second to spare, one of the scavengers stabbed her tail and they all ran away," Peril then started to laugh out loud with all the other dragonets giggling at the image. "If I remember correctly, all the scavengers escaped too. Scarlet was pissed, where the scavenger stabbed her, it made it to where she couldn't fly for almost two weeks."
All the dragonets were laughing out loud at this point, even Starflight stopped reading his scroll and was laughing at what Peril was saying. "Oh, three moons, I would have loved to see that," Glory wheezed out.
"Yea, it was probably one of the greatest days of my life, right up until I got to meet you guys obviously."
Once everybody calmed down Clay asked the big question "Do any of you guys know what we are going to do when Tsunami gets back?"
Everybody just looked at each other and just shrugged their shoulders. "Not a clue." Peril said.
"I guess we just wait and see how everything here plays out then we go from there." Sunny continued on.
"Is there anything we can do while we wait?" Glory said impatiently.
"Not really," Starflight sighed "I hope Tsunami is having a good time."
WITH TSUNAMI
"I don't care if you think he is handsome or not, he has pedo written all over his face and he is creepy!" Tsunami yelled at her mother with Whirlpool standing behind her
"That's not true, it's not true is it Gill?" Coral asked Gill who was standing there bored out of his mind.
"He looks like he stalks little girls," Gill said flatly with Whirlpool giving him his are you freaking kidding me, look.
Coral looked over at Anemone "Is that true?" Anemone gave her an annoyed glare. "I have literally caught him stalking us before."
Back with the Dragonets
"Ya, I am sure that she is having a good time," Starflight said while nodding at the thought of Tsunami with her family.
"What are we going to do if Blister shows up while we are here?" Sunny asked everybody.
"Even know that we know for sure we could kill her easily, we probably shouldn't until we get a good judge of her and the other two." Glory said with Starflight nodding in agreement.
"I truly don't think killing them is the answer to the prophecy, even know it said it is," Sunny said frowning at the thought.
"We more than likely won't kill them unless they attack us first, at that point it would be just self-defense." Starflight said "But if what we heard about all of them "Burn will definitely strike at us first, Blaze probably won't, and Blister is a wild card."
Everybody was quiet after that thinking about the situation until Sunny brightened up a little bit.
"I think that we should try to get them all together and let the Sandwings do a vote," Sunny said brightly.
Starflight just shook his head "That would be perfect and would more than likely work if we got past the issue of getting them together." Starflight sighed then continued "They don't need to do that because they have all the tribes fighting for them, they don't have to do hardly anything besides sit back and watch the war."
Starflight then shook his head again "I am willing to bet, that even if we do let the sandwings vote it won't go that great. They will all get tied in votes, then there will still be war between the sandwings."
Glory's eyes grew in size when a thought came to her. "If it was just the sandwings fighting... they would be the only casualties, they could face a species-wide extinction if they don't have others help them in their fight.
Starflight just gave her a confirming nod. "And I am starting to see an issue with us just going around to get to see how the three princesses are, we would have them do a fake it till you make it."
Clay gave him a confused look. "When we would be watching them to judge them if they knew they would either fake it to make it look like they would be a pretty good queen or just straight up try to kill us," Starflight answered his look.
Clay then understood what he meant "So how do we get around that issue?"
"Simple, we will watch and listen," Starflight then smiled at him "We will go around and see what people think about them, we will watch and see if they do some obvious red flags, like war crimes or something like that."
Everybody nodded at Starflight thinking his idea was pretty good, "sounds good to me".
Peril then asked the next question "Ok, I love that idea it sounds simple and easy... but, what are we going to do about all the tribes fighting and killing each other, we can't just let that keep happening," Peril asked frowning.
Starflight still smiling gave her an answer. "That's the thing, we are already starting step one in that part, I have another idea... We convince all the tribes to stop fighting for the three sandwings"
Sunny jumped at starflight and wrapped him up in a hug "Starflight that would be perfect" Starflight blushed when Sunny hugged him and gave him the compliment.
Sunny let go of him and gave him a confused look. "But how would we convince them to stop fighting, heck... most of the offerings that the sanding's gave was straight up land."
"Any way we can, bribery, blackmail, or just straight up convincing them if we have to," Starflight said grimly.
Glory shrugged her shoulders "Seems like a good idea to me." everybody just nodded and agreed with Starflight's plan.
Everybody was quiet after that, pondering random thoughts. "I guess now we just wait for Tsunami" Starflight finished.
With Tsunami
Tsunami was glad that she found her mother, she really was... but this, this was hellishly boring. She was bored out of her mind as her mother was bragging about her books to Tsunami. She was not alone on this, Gill was standing there looking like he was about to fall asleep standing up. He more than likely had practice with this. Anemone was sleeping behind her mother, still with that tether attached to her "I wonder what that is for"
Whirlpool on the other hand was being a suck-up and positively commenting at everything Coral said.
"Three moons please release me from this boredom with the sweet relief of anything else," Tsunami thought drooping and zoning out of what Coral was saying.
A seawing guard burst through the doors Waking up Anemone, who shot to her feet startled. Webs and Tsunami straitening up a little bit.
"Queen Coral, we have an issue," The guard said to the queen.
"Yawn... what is it," Coral answered, not bothered at all by how distressed the guard was making Tsunami frown.
"We found a dead dragon on the island closest to this one," The guard said grimly.
Coral still looking through her scrolls "That's sad, send the dragon's family my condolences," she said dismissively.
"My queen... it was a Skywing," with that Coral stood up straight and focused. "This close to here, how?"
"We do not know my queen, we just found the body and she looks like she has been dead for days." the guard said.
"Take me there," The queen said getting up and following the guard out of the palace with Tsunami, Gill, and Anemone following.
They all dove into the water, heading to the Summer palace exit. This was the first time Tsunami took a trip under the water. She only had enough time to take a few dips in the ocean on the way here. She was nowhere near as fast as everybody else, slowly falling behind them.
She was getting slowly annoyed, at the thought that her little sister was even going faster than her. "Wait a minute" Tsunami had a grin come to her face at the idea. She started to pay attention to the water around her focusing on how it was flowing in random ways. "All I need it to do is just push me a certain way and-"she was cut off at an audible swoosh as she shot forward without even having to move her tail, already almost to her mother.
She made the water slow down a little bit and stopped speeding up right next to her mother.
The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful with it only being a straight shot to the island.
They made it to the island, it had noticeably huge rock cliffs all around it, tall but nowhere near as tall as the island the Summer palace was on.
The guard flapped up to the flat above the beach, Coral, Anemone, and Gill flapped up to him where the body was. Tsunami stayed on the beach, knowing that whatever was going on was none of her business. She just watched from a distance. Coral looked at the body in disgust, Gill on the other hand stumbled back in shock with his eyes growing wide.
"Tsunami, you might want to see this!" Gill yelled down to her. Tsunami frowned in thought before flying up there. "What does this have to do with me"
She knew immediately what Gill was talking about when she saw the body. It was Kestrel. Like Gill, she stumbled back in pure shock. Kestrel had died what appeared a very gruesome death, with her throat being slashed open, and a huge gaping hole through her chest.
"Tsunami... isn't that Peril's mother?" Gill asked sadly. "Yes, yes it is." Tsunami answered with her head down in respect. Kestrel may not have been the nicest dragon ever, but she did raise them and teach them how to fight. Tsunami then lifted her head "Father, pin respect. Kestrel may not have been the nicest dragon ever, but she did raise them and teach them how to fight. Tsunami then lifted her head "Father, please tell mother who this is, I must go inform my friends at once," she finished and quickly launched into the air and dove back down into the water.
Tsunami did not waste any time and formed the water around her. This time she didn't hold back on how fast she went. If you were to catch a glimpse of her as she was going, you would have had no idea what it was. Tsunami was back to the palace in just around three minutes.
She quickly shot through the entrance of the island and went straight to where her friends were staying.
She landed on the floor of the cave her friends were staying in. Clay shot up from where he was sitting, he ran over to her giving her a questioning look. "Tsunami, I didn't think you would be back so soon"
Tsunami looked down trying to think of a way to bring Kestrel's death up. "Tsunami... is everything ok?" Clay said concerned "You're not hurt are you?"
"Clay I am fine, it's just...Peril, Kestrel is dead." Tsunami said with everybody gasping in shock.
"What do you mean Kestrel is dead, how would you know?" Clay asked.
"I was with my mother listening to her rant about her stories, a guard came in and said they found a dead Skywing, we went to the body and it was Kestrel." Tsunami finished.
Peril sucked in a deep breath and muttered "Can you please take me to her?"
Tsunami just quietly nodded and turned to the exit with the other dragonets following.
It was probably the most depressing flight she has experienced yet with nobody saying a single word.
When they made it to the island, Coral, Gill, and Anemone had allready left. Peril sat down right next to the body with the dragonets sitting behind her. "What do we do?" Sunny asked starting to tear up.
"It's Skywing tradition to say a few words and then burn the body, something about releasing the dragon's spirit and letting them fly freely." Peril muttered out sadly still looking down at her dead mother.
Everybody was quiet at first trying to think on what to say. "I guess I will start." Glory muttered.
"Kestrel... Kestrel was not always the nicest dragon in the mountain, when I was younger, she would bully me first for being a Rainwing, and she would go extra hard on me in training," Glory frowned at the various memories "But, then came the day I beat her training for the first time, after that she started to insult me less and actually started to respect me, after that... she slowly actually started showing kindness in her own way, by either giving me advice or making small conversations," Glory finished awkwardly.
Clay started next "I know I am speaking for almost everybody here, she was not always the nicest dragon, but she was the closest thing to a mother that I had, she would teach us how to do basic things, she trained us in how to defend ourselves."
Tsunami, Sunny, and Starflight just nodded at this agreeing with what Clay said.
It was then Peril's turn, she took in a deep breath before starting, "I... I didn't get to know much about her," Peril paused before continuing. "The short amount of time I got to talk to her was some of the favorite times of my life up until now, all I ever known before I met her was Scarlet," There was a slight sizzling noise she could hear now, she was crying. "When I first met my mother, it showed me I had a choice to be who I wanted to be." Perils breath rattled after that. "I promised that I would get to know you after the war, I won't get to do that now."
Peril bent down to her mother's body. "I will miss you," Peril bent down and hugged her mother's corpse. It wasn't even ten seconds and her mother was nothing besides a pile of ash being blown into the wind.
Peril dint say anything, just looked down at the ground thinking. Clay came up beside her. "Peril do you need anything?"
Peril lifted her head, Clay saw something that he had never seen from her yet. Pure, unadaulterd, rage.
"Tsunami, do you know who did this?" Peril asked turning to look at her.
"No, I am sorry Peril, when I got here, she had been dead for days and I went straight to you leaving my mother here."
Peril then remembered something "She had a hole in her chest, a sandwing killed her" Peril was even angrier now, she didn't know anybody who was a sandwing besides Sunny, and she wouldn't kill Kestrel.
"I don't know who killed mom... but whoever did it is going to die a very, very painful death."
Chapter 11
I am starting to realize something... I really need to get a beta or go back over everything every now and then. My spelling and punctuation is terrible. If you would like to beta for me, pm me. I am sorry I am updating so slowly, college is not easy. As always, listen to some heavy rock and metal. I am listening to "wasting my hate" by Metallica. Welcome back and enjoy.
The flight back to the palace was depressing. They had never had to deal with anything like this before. They had never lost anybody close to them before.
Peril was silently crying to herself while raging inside. She just lost her mother to a murderer and she had no idea on who to take her anger out on. Nobody even had the slightest clue on who the murder was. They only knew two sandwings and that was Dune, and Sunny, and they definitely never would kill Kestrel.
Peril's thoughts were broken when she heard Starflight speak "Tsunami, I know right now probably isn't the best time to talk about this but, we think we came up with a plan to end the war."
"What is your idea?" Tsunami asked genuinely curious at what they came up with.
"We were thinking, we were going to try to scout out all the queens to try to get a judge of who would be best queen." Tsunami frowned and was about to say something but was cut off when Starflight continued, "Yes I know that won't solve the bloodshed in the fights going on, but we have a plan to fix that and it partially involves you for the first step." Starflight finished, waiting for a response from Tsunami.
"Let me hear it" Tsunami said shortly, Starflight just nodded, "We were trying to come up with an idea to stop the killing between the tribes, and what better way than to convince them to stop fighting." Starflight paused slightly smiling at the confused look on Tsunami's face, "We were going to ask you to try and talk your mother out of the war."
Tsunami was shocked at what he said, "WHAT, what do you mean try and talk mom out of the war!" Tsunami said very loudly, "How in the three moons would I do that?"
Starflight shrugged his shoulders, "Any way you can, preferably just try to talk her out of it, from what I know the seawings are hardly getting anything out of this war." Starflight paused for a quick second thinking of something, "Actually, I have no idea on why the seawings are even fighting."
Tsunami got a confused look, "Really... I thought I just missed a history lesson from Webs and didn't listen when he was going over about the seawings side in the war."
Starflight shook his head "Nope, I never heard why the seawings fight."
Everybody else shook their heads too when Tsunami looked to them. They had no idea why the seawings fought either.
Tsunami sighed in annoyance, "I guess I will have to ask her."
"Please do that, if you find out why the seawings are even in the war to begin with, you might be able to talk them out of it." Starflight said confidently.
Tsunami nodded agreeing with what Starflight said "What are you guys going to do while I am gone?" She asked while getting up getting ready to leave.
"Going to try to find out who killed Kestrel." Starflight answered sadly.
Tsunami was at the front of the cave now getting ready to launch off, "If you guys find out who the killer is before I get back, please wait before you do anything."
"No promises," Peril said dangerously. Tsunami just nodded once again and dove into the water.
Tsunami was in the water thinking to herself "What in the three moons could have happened to have Mom join the war, besides a straight-out attack on the sea kingdom, there should be no reason to join."
Her thoughts were cut off when she saw the deep palace not too far away. There were two guards at the entrance to the palace, "Who goes there?" one of the guards flashed.
"Thank goodness that Webs taught me how to speak aquatic, I wouldn't have a clue what they were saying if he didn't." Tsunami thought. She looked to the guard that asked her the question "I am princess Tsunami, I am here to talk to my mother."
The guard smiled at her "Ahh, you are the missing princess I have been hearing about." the guard nodded, "I just need you to do one thing, I need you to give me proof of who you are."
"Ehhh... how do I do that?" Tsunami asked sheepishly. The guard gave her a kind smile "Just show us the royal pattern on your wings."
"Ooohhh, ok" Tsunami flared her wings open and lit them up, showing the royal pattern.
The guard nodded in confirmation "Right on in, I hope you enjoy your stay here princess Tsunami."
"Thank you" Tsunami flashed as she swam into the palace. She suddenly became flustered, "I don't know anything about the palace and where mom is".
She quickly spotted a guard that was about to leave the palace. She quickly swam over to the guard, "May I ask you a question?"
"Yes mam!" the guard with sky blue scales flashed quickly. "Do you happen to know where my mother, Queen Coral is at?"
"Yes, your majesty, please follow me." the guard said before starting to deeper into the palace. Tsunami followed him into the palace it didn't take them too long to make it to where the queen was.
The queen was sitting behind a table, writing something with a small smile on her face. Gill was sitting behind her looking bored out of his mind.
Coral lifted her head to see who was there, her smile on her face became even bigger "Tsunami!" she brightly flashed and immediately started quickly swimming over to her. She dove into Tsunami and wrapped her in a tight hug.
"Oh, my little Princess is finally home where she belongs." Coral flashed happily.
Coral let go of Tsunami, "So, what do you think of it?"
"Think of what?" Tsunami flashed confused what her mother was talking about.
"The palace of course, what do you think of it?" Coral asked with the smile never leaving her face.
"Ohh" Tsunami started with a blush to her face, "Its very beautiful... and big"
Coral giggled a little bit "That it is, when I was first able to wander around on my own when I was little, I would get lost every now and then." her gaze then landed on the guard and her smile disappeared.
"What is he doing here" Coral flashed with her teeth gnashed together.
"The guard?" Tsunami started, "I didn't know where you were so I asked him and he led me to you."
"Well, he can leave now!" Coral brightly flashed. The guard just nodded his head and turned around and left.
To say Tsunami was a little bothered by that would be an understatement, "Mom, why did you do that, he seemed pretty kind to me?"
"Because he deserves the hate he gets, Tsunami, I don't want to see you around him, ok" Coral flashed to her.
"Sure" was what came out of her mouth, but she was actually thinking "Not unless you give me a reason."
Corla nodded her head happy at Tsunami's response "Good", the smile on Coral's face came back in earnest. "Come over here, I have something to show you."
Tsunami walked over to where her mother was leading her and looked down at the table they stopped at. There was a bunch of scrolls with writing on them. "What are they?"
"They are my stories." Coral said giddy, hoping that at least one of her children would take a liking to her stories.
"Ohh cool, I didn't know you were an author" Tsunami said honestly surprised at this. "Once Starflight learns about this, he won't ever shut up till I ask mom some questions on the stories she writes."
"What are you writing right now?" Tsunami flashed.
"I am writing a story on how me and your father meant." Coral answered reminiscing over the time she got to meet Gill.
"Cool" Was all that Tsunami flashed to the answer that she was given.
Tsunami then remembered what she came there for. "Mom, as much as I would love to talk about the stories that you have written, I have a few things that we have to talk about."
Corals giddy smile faltered a little bit at this, "Ohh... ok."
Tsunami sighed at the conversation she was about to have "Ok... do you have any idea on who killed that skywing that was killed on that island close to here, this is quite important, she was a pretty good friend to me and my friends, she was also Peril's mother, and she is pissed." Tsunami frowned again remembering something, "We do know that it was a sandwing that killed her."
Coral then frowned after Tsunami finished talking, "I am sorry Tsunami, but we have not spotted any sandwings in the area, the only sandwing that I even know that is even remotely close to here is Blister, and she isn't due her next visit till a couple more days."
Tsunami sighed not very happy at the answer she was given, "Ok, that's fine, but Peril would like an answer on who murdered her mother pretty soon."
"Sorry I cant give an answer." Coral said a little sadly, understanding how Peril feels. That is how she came into power, somebody murdered her mother after all.
"It's fine, it's not your fault that we don't know who the killer is." Tsunami flashed. "I have one last question."
Coral just nodded her head waiting for the question.
"Why did you join the war?" Tsunami asked carefully, knowing this could a rude question.
Coral sighed, "That is a question with a long answer."
"This is a very important one, this is going to have a big deal on how we deal with the war." Tsunami flashed. "Also, none of my friends even have an idea why you are in the war."
"Of course, only the people on the high council even have a clue why we are fighting." Coral said grimly.
"Not many people outside of the sea kingdom know this besides Blister, but the Sea kingom is in a hard spot right now."
"Why is that?" Tsunami asked now genuinely curios.
"Do you know what the sea kingdom's main exports are in trade?'
Tsunami scrunched up her face trying to remember "If I remember right, its palm wood, perils, fish, tropical fruit, and ink."
"You are correct, what most people don't know, is it is actually illegal to even try and export metal out of here." Coral flashed to Tsunami.
"Wait, really?" Tsunami asked surprised.
"Yep, that has actually been a law before even my mother was alive" Coral said remembering the important law. "the thing that Seawings have always struggled the most in is obtaining metal materials, it doesn't help that if certain metals are not painted right, they will just rust away." Coral paused before she continued.
"But the worst part of it is we have no good way to even get any mines" almost all the islands we have here in the sea kingdom are either to tiny to mine or are always under attack by other tribes." Coral finally stoped waiting to see what Tsunami's reaction would be.
"So I am going to guess Blister offered you some land if you helped her in the war?" Tsunami guessed.
Coral nodded "Precisely, we were offered, if we win we would get some of the Sky kingdoms land, thus ending an issue that the Sea Kingdom has been suffering for hundreds of years."
"Now that you say it, I just now noticed almost every guard has some type of natural weapon on them, like narwhal spears, and weapons made out of shark teeth." Tsunami flashed.
"Yep, only the higher ups even get armor or metal weapons." Coral flashed while nodding.
"Hmm, I see... so if me and my friends were able to solve this issue, would you quit the war and stop fighting?"
Coral started to laugh, not that you could tell unless you seen her with the water muting her laugh, "Would I quit the war, my gosh if you could find out how to fix that issue, I would kick Blister to the curb while laughing the whole time, we have been losing more in this war so far than gaining."
Tsunami sighed in relief "Ohh thank the moons, that helps out a whole lot with our plans to end the war"
"You still have to solve the issue first." Coral said sternly.
"Me and my friends will work on it, and I am sure we will find a way to fix your problem." Tsunami said confidently.
"I hope you do." Coral said, "Of course it won't matter pretty soon, Anemone is working on a sure-fire way to fix the same problem." Coral flashed with a confident look on her face.
"Really... how?" Tsunami asked shocked that her little sister would be able to fix the complicated problem.
"Go ask her yourself, tell her that I gave her permission to tell you her secret, she will know what I am talking about." Coral finished while turning back to her work. "She is in her room, which is down the hall second room on the right."
Tsunami nodded while turning to leave "Thanks mom, you have no idea how much this helps."
Tsunami quickly swam over to her sister's room and knocked on the door. It wasn't even a moment when she heard Anemone say "Come in".
She opened up the door and Anemone was laying down in her bead. Anemones room wasn't the cleanest but not the most dirty room either, there were a few scrolls scattered on the desk. "Hey Anemone, how you doing?"
"Ohh, pretty good, its still nice to know that I have a living sister."
"Yeah, same, ohh hey I was asking mom on why she joined the war, so I asked her If we solved that issue if she would quit the war which she agreed, but she said that you were already working on it." Tsunami paused before she remembered what to tell Anemone, "She told me that you could tell me her secret."
Anemone just nodded, "Ok, do you want me to be blunt or try to explain it to you?"
Tsunami got a smile on her face liking her options "Blunt please"
"Ok... I'm an animus." Anemone flashed.
"You're a what?" Tsunami said confused
Anemone started to giggle "I knew I was going to have to explain it to you"
Tsunami just started to grumble "Fine, explain it to me"
(Look, I am way to lazy to write downt all the specifics of how animus magic works, and you allready know, so we are going to skip this part) thank you.
"Wow..." Was all that Tsunami could flash.
"Ya, wow." Anemone said back.
"If you didn't have that one drawback on your soul, you would be invincible." Tsunami flashed lightly.
"Yep." is all that Anemone flashed.
"Its crazy to think that the one person in this world that is more powerful than me and my friends would be you, my little sister" Tsunami flashed amazed at her little sister.
"What do you mean?" Anemone flashed with curios look on her face.
"Ohh yeah, I never showed you did I" Tsunami flashed with a slight grin on her face. Tsunami slightly flared her wings abit and all the water in Anemone's room started to leave via the door. "This is what I can do." Tsunami said while slightly focusing on keeping the sea water out of her room.
"Holy-" Anemone was cut off when Tsunami let all the water rush back into her room.
"Cool right?" Tsunami flashed with a cocky grin on her face.
"Yes, that's cool" Then Anemone got a look on her face "And there is no draw backs?"
"None, that I am aware." Tsunami said while still grinning "Just makes me a little bit tired if I do it all day with large amounts of water."
"Freaking awesome" Anemone said awed at her sister's power. "Are you the only one that can do that?"
"Too my knowledge yes" Tsunami said. "My friends also have control over some type of power, I'll have to show you some time."
"Why not know?" Anemone said while getting up.
"Really? Mom is just going to let you leave like that?" Tsunami said surprised.
"Ohhh, trust me, she used to not even let me leave her sight." Anemone said while frowning. "I gained some independence when I solved a mystery in the palace."
"What was that?" Tsunami asked curios.
"A long time ago, we had an older sister who was also a animus, she enchanted a statue in the hatchery that would kill all of our sisters right before they hatched."
Tsunami paled realizing that if she wasn't kidnaped, she would be dead. "Holy crap, I need to thank Webs when I see him again"
Tsunami then regained her composer "Do you know why she did that?"
"Not a clue, probably to get rid of any successors" Anemone paused remembering the grim story her mom told her "All I know is that Orca challenged mom and was killed during the challenge."
"Jeez" Was all that Tsunami said before shaking her head remembering what they were about to do. "Let's go, I want to introduce you to all my friends." Tsunami said while dashing out the bedroom door with Anemone behind her.
Guys I am so sorry that this took this much time to update, college has been rough on me with a really tough class, also its fall now and I am always busiest during the fall with how much stuff I do as an outdoorsman. I hope you liked my reasoning why Anemone had a bit more freedom. Also, if you are wondering why Coral isn't as umm crazy, it's because I would think with her husband around, it would keep her kind of grounded.
Chapter 12
Wow, over three thousand views already. As of November 27th 2022, my fanfic is over three thousand views, as I am writing this fic, we are at three thousand three hundred twenty-seven views. Thanks guys.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
SnowFlakeGuest: just writing this because i found out you can't know i'm reading this unless i post a review
Mc: Thanks, I wish you had an actual profile so I could thank you proper.
You guys see the new Metallica song drop just a couple of days ago, it's called "Lux Æterna". It's an absolute banger of a song, but it's not the song for today. Not going to lie, right after the song was released, I picked up my guitar and started to try and learn how to play it. I already have what chapter that song will be taking. The song for today was going to be "Leper Messiah", but I realized that song could be used in a way better way for a way later chapter. I couldn't really find a song for this chapter that fit, so I guess go listen to whatever you want to (you more than likely have anyway.)
The trip back up to the summer palace was pretty short now that Tsunami knew which way to go. She was slightly bigger than Anemone, thus being a little bit faster, so she burst through the water first, heading straight to where her friends were.
She quickly flapped just right above the landing spot to the cave where her friends were staying, and dropped down landing on it. Her sister was right behind her.
"Tsunami your back, that didn't take you as long as I thought it would." Starflight said looking up from the scroll he was reading before she left.
"Trust me, I got some good news" Tsunami said while moving over so Anemone could sit next to her. "Guys, I would like to introduce you to my sister Anemone."
Her introduction got a response of everybody saying "hi, yo, hello" from everybody. "Anemone, the mudwing's name is Clay, he is the oldest of the group while being the most physically strong out of the group" Tsunami said while Clay waved hi while waving.
"The skywing over there, her name is Peril, she is the newest one of the group, we met up with her while rescuing our dad from the sky kingdom, we do know for a certain that she is a dragonet of destiny though, also don't touch her, she is nice but she has firescales." Peril just gave Anemone a slight nod with a smile on her face, still being a little bit uncomfortable with not being hated by just about everybody around her.
"The rainwing is Glory, she is full of personality" Tsunami said cracking a grin.
"Say's you, your personality is if I hit it hard enough, it will work." Glory said amused.
"And the ball of sunshine over there is Sunny, don't let her kind nature fool you though, she is probably the best claw to claw combatant out of all of us with her speed her tiny frame gives her." Tsunami said while Sunny also waved to Anemone.
"And that leaves us with our little groups nightwing Starflight, if you have any questions just about anything, ask Starflight, he will more than likely have a answer to your problem." Tsunami finished her introduction.
"nice to meet you all" Anemone said with a smile on her face.
"Tsunami, not that it isn't cool to get to meet your sister or anything, but what is the good news?" Starflight asked.
"The good news is that we have a way to get the seawings out of the war!" Tsunami said excitedly.
Everybody stood up in excitement, knowing the fact that their plan was already working. "Really" Just about everybody said at the same time.
"Yep, mom told me the reason she joined the war and what we need to do to get her out of it, she said that she would gladly quit the war... as long as we fix what got her into the war into the first place."
Now everybody was a little bit worried, they didn't want to have to kill anybody if they didn't have to. "Well... what do we have to do?" Sunny asked what everybody was thinking.
"It has to do with why they joined the war, metal" Tsunami said.
"What do you mean, metal?" Starflight asked confused what Tsunami said.
"Believe it or not, but apparently for hundreds of years, the seawing have had a hard time keeping metal materials" Tsunami said.
Starflight eyes grew in realization "That makes so much sense, I even remember reading a few stories from seawings writing down how it was such a treat to get anything made out of metal" Starflight said remembering a few of the scrolls he read when he was younger. "I am going to guess that the Seawings were promised something to do with metal if they helped Blister win the war."
Tsunami nodded her head, "Yep, mom told me that Blister promised her a small chunk of the skywing's territory if they won."
"So if we get them a decent way to get metal, the seawing would leave the war" Sunny said happy that the reason the seawings were in the war wasn't personal.
"Yep, mom said that if we could do that then I quote 'Kick Blister to the curb"" Tsunami said with a grin. Everybody was laughing at the mental picture and even Glory was giggling.
"Allright... so how we going to do it?" Clay asked after he was done laughing.
"I think I already got an idea" Starflight said while looking to Clay with an amused look, "Clay, we never really got to test out how truly powerful you were with your powers did we?"
Clay realized what Starflight wanted him to do. "Not really, been too busy to see what I could really do at my max".
"I think you guys already got an idea for what my plan is..." Starflight said with a grin never leaving his face.
A little while later
"So... how do you think our daughter is going to solve the problem?" Gill asked his wife.
"I don't even have an idea, she didn't seem like it would be too big of an issue on what I gave her." Coral said confused.
"I am confident oh her and her friends, you didn't get to see what they could do." Gill said smiling remembering when they showed of their powers.
"You never told me what they could do?" Coral said curios.
"Well, your daughter coul-" Gill was cut of when the ground started to rumble a little bit.
"What going on?" Coral mumbled to herself.
Then, the ground started to shake as if a huge earthquake was hitting the kingdom. Coral and Gill were already almost to the Summer Palace, they did a detour and decided to go straight out of the water to see what was going on, they were not prepared for what they were seeing.
It was as if watching a plant grow in a time lapse. Except instead of it being a beautiful flower, it was the birth of a whole entire new island. The earth was still shaking violently. From where the island was coming up so quickly, the water was being displaced, making hundreds of small tsunamis everywhere.
Coral was panicking, not knowing why this was happening, and Gill had paled a couple of shades knowing who was doing this. "Three moons... I had no idea on how truly powerful they were."
Coral heard what Gill said and paled too, "You mean to tell me that, that's our daughter and her friends doing that?"
Gill nodded, "Yes, and that looks like it's just the mudwing who is doing that." Gill paled even more. "They didn't even show a fraction of their power when they rescued me, if they did... the Sky Kingdom wouldn't even be on the map anymore."
The island kept on growing in size till it was even bigger that the summer palace island. The island was just a little bit wider than the island the summer palace was on, but it was nowhere near as tall.
The earth finally stopped shaking. Coral and Gill flew towards the island. The island looked almost perfect to make mines in it. The island had bunches of rocky cliffs for making tunnels. It was only around a thirty-minute flight away from both the deep palace, and the summer palace. Making it not easy to track the locations of the palaces.
It didn't take too long to find the group of dragonets. All of them were surrounded by the mudwing. Gill and Coral flew down to them and landed next to them.
Clay was panting hard like he had just ran a marathon full sprint all the way. "Geeze... I wish I would have known it was going to make me this tired or I would have taken it a bit slower."
"Not that I am not grateful for what you did, but a little warning would have been nice." Coral said frowning, "I am sure, that almost my whole kingdom is panicking right now, wondering what just happened."
Coral did a quick look around of where they were standing. "Ok... so we have an island now that will be good for mining, but is there any ores here?"
"Don't worry, I got that covered." Anemone said stepping forward. "I enchant this entire island to be rich with these ores, gold, iron, and silver." Anemone then shivered just a little bit "it is done."
Coral got a big grin in her face "Great!" Coral looked to Tsunami, "As I promised, I will start recalling all of my troops, and the next time I see Blister, I'm going to give her the boot."
Sunny jumped at Starflight, "Your plan worked Starflight!" everybody else was all smiling happy to know there plans to end the war was already working.
"Blister should be here in about three days, when she gets here... what are you going to do?" Coral asked the group.
"I think we are just going to observe for a little bit, since you are out of the war now, I guess we can tell you our plan to end it." Starflight said before taking a breath to continue, "Our plan was to take all the tribes out of the war besides the sandwings, and while we do that, we were going to judge the sandwing princesses to see who we picked."
"I like that plan, get everybody out of the way so you can get the main job done, nice" Coral said approvingly. Coral then frowned "It sounds like it could take a while..."
Starflight sighed, "Yes, but it was best and most peaceful way we could do this, we won't attack anybody unless they give us a reason, even when we raided the skywing palace, we didn't kill anybody"
"We are here to stop the war, not make it worse." Clay said firmly. Everybody else nodded at this.
"I find it nice that you guys want to end this war peacefully, but I doubt that it will be as easy to make all the other tribes quit the war as it was us." Coral paused before continuing. "Especially the Icewings and the Skywings, their tribes are very militaristic and don't like losing or giving up."
"I guess we just have to give it our best shot, if it doesn't work, we can always just bust some heads and do it the less nice way." Glory said while shrugging her shoulders.
"So, what tribe you going after next?" Coral asked curiously.
"Not sure yet, but I think we are going to leave the Skywings last, we didn't exactly leave with the best impression, did we?" Starflight said smirking at everybody.
"Nooooo, surely they love us." Glory said sarcastically. "I'm sure they all want our autographs."
"We are probably going to go to the mudwings first, I got a feeling that they will be the best to go after first," Starflight said. Clay perked up, hearing that his tribe was next.
Coral nodded "Thanks again for this, it solved an issue that we have had since the time of Darkstalker, also I am sure that the underwater miners will be glad to know that they won't have to mine in such dangerous conditions anymore."
"Sooo... what do we do now?" Clay asked everybody. "Now... now we wait for Blister to arrive."
Merry Christmas, this chapter is not as long as I would like it, but it's still up in time for Christmas. I don't know why but I almost found this chapter impossible to make it as long as I planned, I planned for a lot more to happen in this chapter than what I did (Blister WAS going to show up here) but I decided otherwise, it just didn't fit right with me. Next chapter Blister will show up. So there is that I guess.
Chapter 13
Just read the new graphic novel, pretty good to finally see what Winter and Turtle looks like. The art also looks great.
Questions and answerers.
Guest Qm: I can't wait to watch Starflight on the night wing island!
A: Trust me, I am excited to write about it. It is one of my key chapters, and I have a lot planned for that arc.
Bigboi2069: cool another Metallica fan :) And don't worry your story is doing great at least I read it when a new chapter comes out.
A: thanks, it makes me happy to see other Metallica fans reading my story.
As of now, I will be bundling up all reviews from all three websites I have this fic posted on. (Fanfic, Wattpad, and AO3)
Boy ohh Boy, have I been busy not writing this. The mix of my life is crazy, and I don't even have a job yet. Either way, I don't really have a song for this chapter, so just listen to what you want to.
The wait for Blister to arrive was pretty boring if you asked the dragonets. All they did was sit down all day and just socialize all day. When you usually train and mess around all the time, it's going to be quite boring to do just nothing. The only person there that was used to doing nothing all the time was Peril, but even she was started to become annoyed with how boring it was.
"Allright, I'm bored!" Sunny started out loudly. "What are we going to do when Blister gets here..." Sunny asked everybody.
"Probably just going to watch her for a little bit to get a feel for her, then probably ask her some questions." Starflight answered bored.
They have already gone over this a number of times. "Well, what are we going to ask her about?" Sunny started "I mean... we already know why she joined the war."
Starflight and everybody else raised their head realizing that they really never thought of that. Yay new stuff to talk about.
"Hmmm, never thought about that..." Starflight answered thinking on it.
"I guess we could ask her why she asked the Seawings to join into the war?" Clay asked the group.
"Good idea!" Starflight said, "we could also ask her why she thinks it would be a better idea for her to be queen."
"Do you think we should add in anymore questions we should ask her?" Peril asked.
"I think we should be able to get the main points from those questions and build up from there when we get our answers." Starflight answered back.
Everybody else nodded agreeing with him. "Seems like a pretty solid idea." Tsunami agreed shaking her head.
"Well... now we wait" Glory answered already bored again at just thinking about it.
As soon as she said that a guard came into the cave room. "The queen has requested all of you to the top of the pavilion as soon as you can." he left right after that.
"Well... bye then?" Glory said confused with how quick the guard showed up and then left.
"Let's go then" Tsunami said while getting up and heading to the entrance to the cave.
Everybody else got up and started to follow her, "Anything is more interesting than this!" Sunny said.
It only took them a minute to all make it up to the top of the pavilion, where Coral and Gill were waiting there for them.
"Hey mom, what did you need us for?" Tsunami asked. Coral gave her a smile, "I just wanted you all here for when I tell Blister I am leaving the war, I mean... you are the reason why we are leaving"
"Makes sense..." Peril muttered what everybody was thinking.
A guard came rushing up to them, "My queen, she is here."
"Good, it's time to end this." Coral said focusing on the potentially violent conversation that was about to happen.
It didn't take long, a sandwing with white and sand yellow scales started to fly up to the top of the pavilion, if you looked close enough on her scales you could see a black diamond pattern on them. She was flanked by two other big guards.
She landed right Infront of Coral, not even batting an eye at the dragonets. "Hello Coral"
"You mean, QUEEN Coral, watch your place." Gill cut her off.
"Yes, yes... whatever" Blister muttered, "Anyway Coral, you called for me?"
"Blister, I have something very important to inform you about." Coral said preparing herself.
"That you are going to leave the war" Blister said cutting Coral off. To say Coral was shocked would be shocked would be an understatement.
"How did you know about this!" Coral yelled, already suspecting a spy in her midst.
"Let's just say, I have a friend who is very informative" Blister smirked.
Starflights ears perked up a little hearing who Blister was thinking about. "You mean Whirlpool?"
Blisters head jerked over at Starflight, confirming what he heard her thinking about. "And who... are you?" She asked alarmed at what he asked her. "Morrowseer said that the nightwings lost all of their mind reading powers hundreds of years ago."
"Well... that's alarming" Starflight thought to himself thinking of all of the possibilities that lied within that thought. "My name is Starflight, I am the nightwing to the dragonets of destiny"
"Dragonet of destiny, Morrowseer also said that they would be allied to only me, wait a minute he can hear my thoughts there, his eyes just grew big at what I was thinking about Morrowseer" Blister suddenly was like listening to static, she must have practiced blocking out her thoughts. It was like trying to listen to a conversation through a thick wall, very muffled. "Either way, Coral I am sorry to say, I deny your request to leave the war." Blister said grinning giving everybody in the room chills.
Coral just started to laugh, "I don't think you know how this works Blister, I am leaving if you like it or not!"
Blisters grin grew even bigger "No... you don't know how this works, you didn't know this... but your surrounded and you will either stay in the war or I will burn down your palace and slaughter everybody hear."
Coral just started to laugh even more and when she stopped, she pointed to the dragonets "Believe it or not, I am not even remotely worried about it with them around."
Blister took another look at the dragonets, the only alarming thing about them was the skywing in the group, she knew who Scarlet's champion was and what she could do. "So what, besides the skywing, I could personally take them by myself."
"Man, Whirpool didn't hardly tell you jack crap did he?" Coral said still grinning, loving where this was going.
"Come again?" Blister said wondering what she meant.
"You obviously remember why I joined the war, well let's just say... they completely solved my problem in less than a day." Coral said mysteriously.
"Wait how would they do that?" Blister asked not understanding.
"Ohh you know, I needed some land, and well... they MADE me some land" Coral finished.
"But, but that's impossible, you can't just make a whole entire new island out of thin air!" Blister yelled backing up from the group of dragonets.
"didn't stop them any" Coral said thinking about how screwed Blister was.
Blister finally re-gained her resolve "Either way, like I said, stay in the war or die!" Blister said turning around getting ready to leave. "But before I leave, I think I should leave with a parting GIFT!" Blister yelled before she turned around trying to stab Coral with her tail.
CRACK! SNAP!
At first, the pain didn't register to her, but then it did. "Ahh! Three moons my tail!" Blister screamed "My freaking tail!". Her tail was blocked off by a small stone wall that blocked her from stabbing Coral.
"CRAP, let's get out of here!" Blister said taking off trying to go through the canopy.
"Ohh no you don't!" Clay said flying after the injured sandwing princess.
Blister looked down and saw Clay who was catching up to her, she grappled her guard and through him at Clay who wasn't expecting somebody her size to have enough strength to throw somebody that was almost twice as big as herself, thus the guard plowed into him throwing Clay right back to earth... right into Peril who was behind him catching up.
"CLAY!"
And... that's it for today. But don't worry, next chapter its finally happening. One of my Key chapters that made this story into what it is. I have been planning the next chapter for the last two months now, I am so excited for it.
Chapter 15
ITS HERE! It's finally happening. A key chapter. If you did not read my author notes chapter then this is what a key chapter is. A key chapter is the sole reason this fic even happens. There were only 5 key points in this whole fic and I am so excited to finally be here.
Either way song for today is a very, very specific song from a certain time and place, it's a live song. (1993 Mexico City, The Ecstasy of Gold / Enter Sandman) Metallica.
"CLAY!" Everybody yelled seeing Clay thrown into Peril thinking he was going to be fried to a crisp.
That was not the case though. When Clay hit the ground everybody was expecting him to at least be covered in burns all over his body, and at the worst... what they were not expecting was for him to get up like nothing even remotely warm ran into him.
Clay got up and shook his head to get rid of the dizziness, "Crap, who did I flatten?" Clay said knowing he ran into somebody on the way down.
Peril jumped up knowing that Clay was going to be badly burned, "CLAY I'm so sorry, you just... you're alright?" Peril was baffled at the fact Clay wasn't screaming in agony with burns all over his body.
"Yea, why wouldn't I be?" Clay asked confused with how frantic Peril was, he only fell a few dragon length's down. He has been through way worse than that when he was training with everybody.
"Clay... you ran straight into Peril, how are you not burned?" Starflight asked confused and also happy that Clay wasn't hurt.
"Wait, your prophecy said that you were born from a blood-red egg, right?" Coral asked Clay.
"Yea, what does that have to do with anything?" Clay asked still confused.
"How do you not know this? Almost everybody knows Mudwings born from blood-red eggs are almost completely fireproof" Coral said.
"Nobody ever told me or my friends," Clay said frowning, already thinking about how that would have been helpful in so many situations he has been in.
Everybody was thinking about the same thing Clay was thinking but Peril on the other hand... "Holly Crap... he is fireproof... That means I have a chance with him!" nobody saw it, but Peril got a huge grin on her face with that thought.
"Look, I don't mean to seem greedy and ask you guys for more help but... considering Blister literally has us surrounded..." Coral asked them hoping that they would say yes.
"Ohh don't worry, this definitely goes on one of our red flags," Sunny said remembering the list they made a little while back.
"...What?" Coral asked confused at what Sunny said.
"Don't worry about what she said, yes we will help you," Tsunami said.
Coral sighed "thank you, you go on ahead, I am going to try and rally the troops to make a counter-offensive" Coral dived off the platform, heading to the barracks with Gill and the guard following behind her.
"So... shall we try this again?" Clay asked with a smile on his face. Everybody got a smile on their face in excitement.
"Remember try not to kill anybody if we don't have to, we are trying to keep the peace, not slaughter them all, but if you have..." Starflight said
Everybody jumped up into the air when they started hearing wingbeats above them, knowing the invasion was here.
The dragonets busted through the canopy to see hundreds of sand wings flying overhead.
Undeterred, the dragonets kept on charging ahead heading straight up into the middle of the army.
four of the Sandwings in the army laughed at the dragonets and started charging at them... less to say it was a poor decision.
Glory, with a few strong wing beats, charged ahead just a little bit, she made four vines burst out of the canopy to the palace and wrap around the Sandwing's tails, and threw them away.
This shocked almost the whole army, who just saw what happened to their comrades. Their shock was broken when 6 huge jets of fire came out of the Skywing and broke their army into 6 groups.
The dragonets split into a group, each one heading for a group of the army that Peril just split apart.
Sunny went for the smallest group first. The Sandwings knew better now than to underestimate her so they surrounded her as quickly as they could.
Sunny remained calm, knowing she was fine. "I am sure you guys wouldn't be kind enough to give up, would you?" She asked politely.
"You are surrounded... you do know that don't you?" The biggest Sandwing asked confused.
"So?" Sunny said smirking. As soon as she said that, two of the Sandwings started to charge at her, they were shocked when she just took their claw slashes and she didn't even flinch. Sunny didn't say anything and just started trying to claw at them wherever she could causing hundreds of small injuries, ignoring the injuries she was taking.
The two Sandwings backed off of Suny panting hard and bleeding everywhere with all the cuts they had. "you're not even defending yourself hardly? You are almost dead, do you surrender?"
Suny just giggled a little bit "Nope!" And just like that all of the injuries Suny got while fighting started to disappear. "It's going to take more than a few scratches to get rid of me!"
With Glory and Tsunami
Glory and Tsunami were having no issues at all at the moment, they were hovering in the air side by side, slapping anybody down who got close to them.
"You know, I feel like we overtrained for this." Glory said sarcastically while swiping away another soldier who was stupidly charging at the two. She was still using the vines from the canopy from the palace.
"You're telling me! this is supposed to be around three-quarters of Blister's army, we are straight up at this point not even using any effort" Tsunami said while smacking a way another dragon with a huge tendril of water. "I mean... come on is this all they got?!"
With the boys
Clay and Starflight on the other hand were having some fun with everything going on.
Clay and Starflight were flying together as fast as they could, making a huge Sandwing train behind them, they had around 30 dragons behind them. "Alright, are you ready Clay!" Starflight asked him.
"Whenever you are!" Clay yelled back with a smile on his face thinking of the plan they had.
"Alright, hold... hold... NOW!" Starflight ordered. The moment he said that, around 50 stone pillars came up in Infront of them in a way that Starflight and Clay could fly through them. They flew in between the pillars about halfway and stopped.
The Sandwings finally caught up to them. "Surrender now, you are greatly outnumbered.
"Nah," Starflight said plainly like nothing was going to happen.
"Capture them!" the lead Sandwing said angrily. Nobody moved to do anything.
"Why can't I move, I am stuck!" one of the Sandwings said shaking his head trying to move. "I can't either!" all the Sandwings were trying to move now, but they couldn't.
"Sorry, don't think you will be going anywhere for the time being," Starflight said like he was scolding a child.
"What do you mean Nightwing? Tell me!" the lead Sandwing commanded him getting angrier and angrier by the second.
"Simple, your shadows know who is in charge here," Starflight said while turning to his friend. "You know what to do Clay."
Clay shook his head, suddenly the pillars started to bend like they were not made out of rock and started to wrap around all the Sandwings, trapping them.
Clay looked to Starflight, "That was fun!"
With Peril
Peril was... surprisingly bored. There wasn't even anybody around her, they all knew who she was and they wanted nothing to do with her.
"Ohh come on, won't anybody fight me?" Peril asked to herself trying to fly at a group of Sandwings that were trying to stay away from her.
She heard one of them say "AWW ell no!" Peril just giggled to herself with how afraid they were.
"Come on guys, Im not going to kill you!" Peril said still trying to catch the group of soldiers. It didn't help anything.
Back with Sunny
"COME ON! I'm not even tired yet and you guys are already giving up." Sunny said while still being surrounded.
"WHY won't YOU JUST DIE ALREADY!" one of the soldiers yelled "You're not even fighting back anymore!"
"Not my fault you guys suck," Sunny said smiling at them.
"Screw this! I'm leaving." The guard said, leaving with some others following knowing nothing was going to work. "Would rather deal with Queen Blister than this crap!"
"Well, that's just boring," Sunny said disappointed at the guards leaving. "Ohh well... Hey look, Clay and Starflight are done" Starflight and Clay flew over to her.
"Sunny, what happened, all of them just left?" Clay asked her, looking to see if she was ok.
"They couldn't handle the fact that they couldn't kill me," Sunny said simply.
"Sunny, what did we say about just letting people hit you?" Clay said sternly, "Even know they can't really harm you, it doesn't mean you should let them, what would happen if they actually could kill you?"
"I highly doubt that would ever happen." Sunny said, "I see that you guys actually decided to trap the guards?" Sunny said looking over to the guards that Clay and Starflight caught with the pillars.
"Ya, me and Clay decided to make a game out of it," Starflight answered smiling.
Peril came flying into the group, hovering next to them. "At least you guys got to do something, everybody I was going after just kept on running away." She said while jokingly pouting.
"Hey, here comes Glory, and Tsunami!" Sunny said while pointing at them.
Glory and Tsunami started flying next to the group. "That was way too easy, did any of you see Blister?" Tsunami asked the group.
"Nope, not a clue, I was chasing down a group, but I didn't see any in it." Peril answered.
"Me neither," Sunny answered plainly. "Too, busy fighting."
"Same," Both Clay and Starflight said at the same time.
"Crap, was hoping to catch Blister, would make our job a lot easier," Tsunami said angrily. She brightened up a little bit with the next thought, "But hey, we managed to capture easily around a quarter of her forces!"
They looked back to the summer palace when they started to hear wings flapping. There were hundreds of Seawings following behind Coral, Gill, and Shark, all of them were wearing battle armor and they looked ready for a fight. When they made it up to the dragonets they looked around.
"Where are they?" Shark asked the dragonets, looking around for a fight.
"Over there," Starflight answered pointing at all the Sandwings they caught.
"Where is the rest?" Shark asked again, dumbfounded by all the captured Sandwing soldiers.
"They all ran away, we ran them off" Glory answered him.
"HOW? It wasn't even twenty minutes?" Shark yelled flabbergasted at what the dragonets did.
Gill started to laugh, "What did I tell you Shark, I told you these dragonets were special."
"Apparently" Shark muttered, agreeing with Gill.
"And once again... I am in your debt, thank you." Coral said. "Let's go back down to the palace, we need to celebrate!" some of the dragons behind her roared in excitement and started to head back down to the palace. After all the soldiers left, only the dragonets, Coral, Gill, and shark were left.
"Since I don't see her, I'm going to doubt that you caught Blister?" Coral asked them.
"Sorry, we have no idea on how she got away, but we didn't even see her one time, once we got into the battle," Tsunami said for the group.
Coral sighed at this, "It's fine, I am sure that she won't attack us, again after taking such heavy losses."
"This battle should have truthfully, almost crippled her, she won't be able to do any major battles anytime soon." Shark cut in.
"Let's go, I want you Dragonets next to me on the table," Coral said, starting to head back down to the palace. The dragonets followed her down right behind her and Gill.
"Hey Starflight, do you think there will be food?" Clay thought to Starflight.
Starflight chuckled a little bit, "Yes Clay, I'm sure there will be food."
"Heck ya" Clay thought enthusiastically in his mind.
After the party
It was late now, the only dragons flying around now, were the dragons who were cleaning up after the celebration. Coral and Gill were sitting with the dragonets talking.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Coral asked the group, worried for them.
"We have been talking and we think we are going to head towards the Mud Kingdom next, if we can take out the Mudwing forces in Burn's army, it would even out the war a lot, right now Burn has three different forces in her army," Starflight said.
"Ahh yes, the Mudwings and Skywings." Coral said thinking about the tribes, "What is your plans for them?"
"We are not sure yet about the Mudwings." Starflight paused thinking, "But we are definitely leaving the Skywings for last, didn't leave on the best terms, did we?"
Gill chuckled a little bit, "No, I don't think you guys did, did you,"
"Anyways, we were going to find out what we were going to do with the Mudwings when we get there," Tsunami said.
"Simple, when will you be leaving?" Coral asked them.
Tsunami frowned at this, "Tomorrow morning, we need to even out Burns's army as quickly as possible before she learns that she now has the strongest army."
"I figured as much." Coral sighed. "Just don't leave tomorrow without telling me, Gill, and Anemone goodbye."
Tsunami smiled at her "Wouldn't think of it"
And that's the end of part two for this fic. I know you guys are probably wondering why everybody is so OC, remember, they grew up almost completely differently. They grew up with confidence, power, and strength, and that will change anybody. They are also partially cocky, besides losing to each other, they have never lost a fight to anybody.
Chapter 16
ust hit over seven thousand views on the time I am writing this! And we are off to the Mud kingdom now, so excited. I am going to have to write this from scratch with no information at all! Also, I wrote a fanfiction that goes with the timeline from this fic, its going to be on the scorching. There isn't a song for this chapter.
"Goodbye! Come back soon!" Coral yelled at us as we flew away. Gill, and Anemone were also saying their goodbyes as they left. Tsunami sheading a few tears, "Don't worry, we will end the war, and I will visit as soon as I can." Tsunami said turning around and lifting off. Everybody else, following her.
Not even five minutes into their trip and everybody was already starting to get bored. "Hey Clay, you excited about getting to visit the Mud Kingdom?" Sunny asked him.
"I would be lying if I said I wasn't, it's not the fact that I get to see what it looks like. I am more excited to see if I could find my family." Clay said with a smile on his face, thinking about his parents and potential siblings.
After that everybody else was quiet, thinking about their own parents. Peril, depressed that she barely ever got to even know Kestrel, and Tsunami was happy that her parents loved and respected her. And everybody else was wondering how their parents would turn out.
"Does anybody know why the Mudwings joined the war?" Glory cut the silence with the question. Clay shook his head no, "No... but it's probably going to be more difficult, I heard that the queen lost one of her brothers in the war..."
Everybody cringed at that, thinking of losing one of each other.
"So, how long is it going to take us to get to the mud kingdom?" Sunny asked the group.
"Hmm... about a day and a half." Starflight answered, "We are heading for the Delta, spend the night there, then we are heading for the Mud Kingdom."
The trip to the Delta was quiet, nobody had anything to talk about and it was a boring flight there. It was almost dark when they got there.
Clay looked to the group, "You guys go look for a place to spend the night, I am going to go look for something for us to eat tonight!"
"I'll go with you!" Peril said enthusiastically. Everybody just shook their head yes starting to look for somewhere secluded that nobody was going to be able to find them easily.
Clay and Peril broke off from the group heading to the ground to look for something to hunt.
"Do you know anything to hunt around here?" Peril asked Clay, who was looking around.
"Not a hundred percent sure... I remember Webs saying something about alligators living in the delta, but I am not sure?" Clay answered still looking around, starting to walk deeper into the swamps. Peril followed right behind him watching where she stepped, so she didn't start a fire.
Peril started remembering about what happened back at the Sea Kingdom, "Hey... sorry about back at the Summer Palace."
Clay stopped and looked at her confused, "What do you mean, you didn't do anything?"
Peril was confused now, "I almost got you killed, you ran straight into me, it was complete luck that you had fireproof scales."
Clay smiled at her after that, "Is that what this is about?" Clay asked completely turning towards her, "Peril, that wasn't your fault, it was Blisters fault that I ran into you."
Peril looked down after that concerned at herself, "It doesn't matter, I still should have been more careful and stayed back farther."
"Peril, you're fine it was an accident." Clay said starting to get concerned at how she was acting, "You were just trying to catch Blister, truthfully it's my fault that I ran into you, you should have been the first one to go after her since you are the fastest out of all of us."
"How can you not be upset at all, you almost died!" Peril said looking back up at Clay.
Clay walked up to her standing next to her, putting his wing over her partially, not caring at the partially uncomfortable heat that she produced, "Like I said Peril, it's not like it matters, it was an accident."
Peril relished that Clay truly didn't care at all about the accident that they had, "Thank you, I have been worried about that since it happened." Peril said rubbing her head against Clay's neck.
Clay lifted his wing off her after that, blushing slightly at the contact "Now let's go! It's getting dark and we still need to find something for everybody to eat tonight."
Peril jumped up at that, "Hey, I remember when I was here not too long ago, that there is a pond not too far away from us" Peril said remembering when she was here.
"Lead the way then." Clay smiled happy that Peril was acting a little bit happier now.
They both jumped in the air, heading towards a pond.
With the rest of the group
Everybody was already laying down under a canopy of branches and vines, Via Glory. Already done setting up the camp for the night.
"So... I have been thinking..." Sunny said to the group, laying down on her back, looking at the group upside down.
"Ya..." Starflight said, asking her to continue.
"Peril has firescales and everything, and she can control fire..." Sunny continued.
"What about it?" Glory asked, wondering where this was going.
"Sooo... couldn't she just, turn off her or... I don't know like, turn her firescales down or something?" Sunny asked, shocking the group with that thought.
"Never even thought of that." Starflight muttered.
"Going to have to ask her when she gets back." Glory said thinking about it.
Tsunami lifted her head up from thinking about Clay and Peril, smiling, "Speaking about Peril... 10 gold coins, that Peril and Clay become a couple before we are done with the prophecy."
"I'll take some of that action, you're on!" Glory said back, smiling "I say they will be a couple after we are done with the Ice kingdom"
"You see and now you are both wrong" Starflight said smiling at the bets being placed, "I'm betting that it will be after we are done with the Sky Kingdom."
Sunny was just confused, "What are you guys talking about?"
Glory scoffed, "You would almost have to be blind to not see the looks Peril gives Clay, and I mean look at them, they are almost a perfect match, I mean, Clay even has fireproof scales and everything, it's like they were made for each other."
Sunny smiled after that, "Well in that case... I'm saying after the Mud Kingdom!"
"Jeez, pretty quick, don't you think Sunny?" Tsunami asked confused at how early Sunny said.
"Hey, I like to play it dangerous when it comes to betting!" Sunny said like she was scolding the group.
Everybody gulped at that, even though Sunny was the nicest in the group, she has legendary luck when it comes to betting, so much so that even Kestrell or Webs wouldn't even play with her when it came to games like poker, and things like what they were betting on now.
"Speaking of, here they are now!" Starflight said, sensing Clay and Perils mind.
"Hey guys, have you ever had alligator before?" Clay asked the group, dropping two alligators right before he landed in the middle of the group with Peril also landing, avoiding the canopy that Glory made.
"No, but I am sure that it tastes good, oh hey Peril, Sunny had something she wanted to ask you." Starflight said, heading over to the alligator.
Peril looked at Sunny wondering what she had to say.
"So, we were talking... you can control fire, and you have fire scales, right?" Sunny asked her, "Soo... shouldn't you be able to turn off or... turn down your fire scales."
Peril's eyes grew wide in shock, "Wait a second..." Peril closed her eyes, trying to get a hold of the flames she always felt inside of her scales.
If you were looking at Peril right now, the glow that was constantly around her scales was starting to dim slowly but surely. Peril opened her eyes, "How do I test this?"
"Think Fast!" Tsunami shouted, throwing a stick at Peril. Peril quickly threw out one of her arms and grabbed it before it hit her... it didn't burst into flames.
Peril started tearing up, looking at the stick she was holding, "Its... it's not burning." a smile was instantly put on her face. She threw the stick away and jumped at Clay, "ITS NOT BURNING!" she yelled hugging Clay.
Everybody who made the bet was worried now, well... all except Sunny. Who was grinning evilly, knowing she was going to win.
Peril let go of Clay and looked over to Starflight, who was cutting pieces of alligator off the corpses. "Starflight, throw me a piece, I want to try something that isn't burnt for once!"
Short one for today, but the next one will be a lot longer. So, Peril can turn off her scales now. A little bit of fluff. And Sunny is apparently really good at gambling. Also, another thing, has anybody here tasted alligator before, I have, and I loved it.
Chapter 17
Warning, blood and gore in this chapter. Song for this chapter is "Disposable heroes" be Metallica. Nothing new, just new chapter.
The group woke up next morning and immediately started working on their way to leave the delta. It wasn't a very long trip with the delta just being a kingdom sized mix of small swamps and rivers, with lots of cat-tails, and other plant life. The delta feeds both the water to the Mud Kingdom, but it also gives water to the Rain Kingdom, thus the reason why both kingdoms have such wet and humid climates.
With the dragonets still unused to how everything looks, they were all quite enthralled with how beautiful everything looks. The vast marshes, and not very wide, but never-ending streams that went every way you would look. It was quite a sight. It was even more enjoyable with all the wildlife they saw on the way. All the wading birds and birds that were feeding on the mudflats.
Either way though, it didn't take them more than an hour to cross the delta. It didn't take long to see signs of the Mud Kingdom, with them coming across more and more swamp type environments.
"I think we just crossed the Mud Kingdom border." Starflight yelled out to the group.
"Anybody know the exact location of the kingdom?" Sunny asked, looking every way she could.
"Not sure, look for any movement you see, we can ask somebody where it is." Clay said.
"Hey guys, I see smoke up ahead!" Peril said, pointing to the horizon.
"Let's go, might be the kingdom!" Clay said, starting to go a little faster.
It was not the kingdom... it was a full-on scale battle. Icewings and Mudwings were ramming into each other, trying to rip each other's throats out. Fire and ice breath was everywhere, but there were no casualties... yet.
"Peril! Get in there and stop the Icewings from killing anybody!" Clay ordered her, "I'll stop the Mudwings!"
Clay and Peril dove right down, headfirst into a group of dragons. Clay covered one of his claws in rocks and hit both a Icewing and a Mudwing in the head, knocking them silly. "Stop this fight now, its OVER!"
"And who are you to order us around?" a big female Icewing said, coming forwards in front of the group of Icewings.
"Look...what is this fight even going to get you, crap… how did you even get here, the Ice kingdom is on the complete opposite side of the kingdom, there is no way this battle here is even remotely helpful to you!" Clay started yelling. "The only reason you are even here is to kill!"
The female Icewing looked at him not impressed, "And I ask you again, who are you to order me, Princess Icicle… what to do?"
Clay just snorted in amusement, "My name is Clay! Dragonet of destiny, and I don't care if you were the queen herself!"
This made Icicle snarl, "How DARE you! I will kill you myself!". She was about to jump at Clay, but a Mudwing jumped at her. Icicle grabbed the Mudwing by the throat and slammed the Mudwing into the ground. Icicle raised her claws getting ready to slash the throat out of the female Mudwing.
"No!" Clay and another Mudwing yelled, trying to get to Icicle before she could kill the Mudwing on the ground. It was to late, the Mudwing's throat had been slashed and she was starting to choke on her own blood.
Clay slammed a claw into the ground, a pillar shot out of the ground and slammed right into Icicles head, knocking her out cold.
Clay looked at the rest of the Icewings, "Leave now, and I just might spare your princess!"
"Retreat, the princess is down!" one of the Icewings yelled turning around and fleeing.
"Uggg…" Clay turned around and looked sadly at a group of Mudwings all surrounding the Dragon that got her throat clawed out, they were all weeping.
Clay had an idea, "Sunny, get over here QUICKLY!"
Sunny sprinted over to him, saw what he was looking at and ran straight for the Mudwing that had her life seeping through her throat.
"Move, she needs medical attention right NOW!" Sunny yelled, butting her way into the group.
"leave, cant you see she is dying!" the biggest of the group of Mudwing said, trying to push Sunny away.
Sunny just punched the Mudwing, dazing and surprising him with her strange strength for such a small dragon.
Sunny put her claws on the choking dragon, and the scales on her claws started to glow, stunning the rest of the Mudwings. The veins in the neck started stitching back together in her neck, then the scales, eventually there was no blood seeping through the wound… then there was no wound, just lighter collared scales in place of the lethal wound.
Sunny sighed,"She is fine now, she is still in shock from the pain that was caused, but she will live… should wake up in just a couple minutes."
"Wha-what do you mean she will live, she just had her throat slashed, nobody lives from that, not even the best doctors in the world could do such a thing!?" a dark collared Mudwing said.
"Well congratulations, she is the first." Sunny said, slumping just a little bit. It was more taxing to use her powers when the person she heals is pretty much on the brink of death. But, it was worth it.
The Mudwings tackled her into a hug. "Thank you, Who are you, How did you do that, Why did you do that, we don't even know you"
Sunny couldn't here everything they were saying in the flurry of voices. The Mudwings eventually got of her. "But no seriously, who are you?" the biggest Mudwing asked her.
"My name is Sunny!" Sunny said with a smile on her face, "Dragonet of Destiny"
Clay walked up to the group, "I have a few questions, why were they attacking you, like I said earlier, they have no reason to attack so far out from the Icekindom!
The biggest Mudwing walked up to the front of the group and sighed, "We have no idea, we were just doing are daily patrol around the border, and they just came out of nowhere."
Clay nodded, "Last question, me and my friends are trying to get into the Mud kingdom, need to see Queen Moorhen, can you lead me there?"
the Mudwing nodded, "Yea, its the least I could do for you guys saving us, just please wait a minute for my sister to wake up."
"Sure!" Clay said nodding.
Clay walked over to his group, "Any of you have a clue to why the Icewings attacked the Mud kingdom?"
"I mean... they are enemies, but an attack that surely took them almost a month to get here seems like a pretty... stupid plan" Starflight muttered that last part.
"Ya, isn't there front at the Sand Kingdom!" Tsunami quipped.
"It doesn't make any sense." Peril said thinking, "I mean, I can understand attacking like, an important encampment deep in, but this is the actual kingdom, that small of a force wouldn't stand a chance."
Everybody just looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders in bewilderment.
The Mudwing started to move a little bit, "gruhh, what the heck happened to me?"
The biggest Mudwing started to pick her up, "It's ok Crane, your fine now."
"Reed, what happened to me?" Crane asked, now standing up, but weakly.
"We will talk about it later…" Reed said, still trying to hold her up, "Do you think you can make it home."
"Maybe…" She said, stretching her wings. "We will stop as many times as you need, Ok?" Reed said caring.
Crane just nodded at that. Reed looked to Clay and the group, we are leaving now, I also need to go see the queen and report this" Reed looked at the rest of the Dragonets, "You guys might want to stay here, until we tell the queen about you, you know… dragons that we are currently at war, walking right into the middle of a Kingdom and all…"
Everybody just smiled at him and just nodded.
"Lets go!" Reed said, starting into the air, "Everybody we are leaving, Crane your up front, tell us if you need to stop!"
Along the trip, Crane only had to stop once, Crane said she didn't know what was going on, but ever since she woke up, she was slowly starting to have more and more energy. Bye the time they left the group, she said that she felt like nothing ever happened.
You could tell that the Mudwings were definitely a more simple tribe bye looking at all of there homes, and bye looking at what there queen staid in. out of all three tribes, her palace was the smallest, and made only out of mud that had been hardened and painted.
"You know… I never got your name?" Reed asked Clay, the palace in sight. Even though it was a simple palace it was still beautiful, with where it was placed. It was placed in a wetland that had hundreds of wild flowers all around it.
Clay smiled at him, "My name is Clay, yours?". Reed smiled back, "Reed, that was Crane that you and your friend saved, she is my sister, actually all of them was my sibs."
Clay smiled at that, happy to save a family member. He would hate it if he lost any of his. He did know about Mudwing culture, and how they weren't raised by the parents, but by the oldest brother. The oldest was called the bigwings, he was actually the bigwings to his adopted brother and sisters. He was happy that Webs taught him that, I mean… could you imagine if he didn't, he would know practically none of his culture.
They made it to the front gate of the palace, and there was two guards in front of the palace door.
"Stop, what are you here fore?" one of the guards asked the group.
"We were attacked by Icewings at the border, and Clay here is a Dragonet of destiny, he is seeking an audience with her." Reed said very seriously.
The guard that asked, opened the door and let him in. The guard led them through the pace, pass a bunch of rooms and he opened the door to the throne room, the were three other dragons all surrounding Queen Moorhen. She was colored pretty similar to clay, with the same collar pallet as him, but there was one difference… She was HUGE! Moorhen was almost five times as big as Clay.
Clay wasn't worried though. From what he heard, she was the kindest and most caring queen in Pyrrhia in his opinion. The queen's brothers and sister were almost as big as she was, still easily towering over him.
Clay bowed to her, "Your majesty, it is an honor to finally meet you."
"You may rise, young Mudwing." The queen said in a voice that Clay wasn't prepared to hear how soft it was, Clay stood back up. "May I please have your name, I don't recognize you?"
"My name is Clay… I am a Dragonet of Destiny." Clay said proudly. This made the queen's eyes grow in surprise. Clay cut her off before she could say anything, "I feel like you should get Reed's report first, its pretty important."
The queen nodded and looked to Reed, "if I remember correctly, you and your squad was put on patrol duty, is there something wrong?"
"Yes your majesty, there was… But Clay here stopped anything from happening." Reed paused before continuing, "Me and my sibs were going by the crevice by the delta, and we were ambushed by a group of Icewings… If Clay hadn't shown up, my sister would be dead." Reed finished.
The queen thrashed her tail in anger, "I will up the patrols, you and your sibs can have the week off to recover, you are dismissed."
"Thank you my queen!" Reed said, before walking out the door to the throne room.
The queen looked down at Clay, "Now, I believe we have something to talk about?"
Clay nodded, "Yes your majesty, first I would like to ask you if me and my group of friends could stay in the kingdom for about a week… without telling Burn of corse?"
The queen nodded, "Sure, when you go to leave, come back with your friends and I will set you up somewhere."
Clay smiled at that, "Thank you, and what about Burn?"
The queen smiled back, "Trust me, me and Burn don't get along." The queen finished frowning.
"That has another thing I wanted to ask you about," Clay paused before continuing, "Why did you join the war?"
The queen and her sibling looked at each other thinking, they nodded to her. The queen looked back to Clay, "I haven't told anybody this yet, but we were forced to join."
"What do you mean, you were forced?" Clay asked bewildered by what she said.
The queen sighed, "Burn threatened us, that if we wouldn't join her… she would annihilate our tribe after she won the war."
Now Clay was upset, "And you believed her…" Clay whispered back.
"That is no way to talk to the Queen!" One of Moorhens sibling yelled at Clay, standing up from where he was sitting at.
"Its fine, he has a right, and it was my fault." Moorhen said, trying to calm her brother down. "It was my fault, I was young at the time, and our tribe wasn't doing good at the time, just got through a disease outbreak… Piratically killed off a third of our tribe."
Clay could understand that. That is the reason the Mudwing tribe was the smallest tribe out of all of them. It was a disease that had happened years ago, before he was even born. It was some new disease that swept through the Mudwing tribe like fire… there was no stopping it, it went through family's without mercy.
Clay snapped out of his thought, remembering his last question. "One last question, do you know who my sibs our?" Clay paused, remembering the name of his mother. "My mom, her name is Cattail?"
The queen hummed, thinking, "I do not know for sure who your sibs are, but I do know Cattail lives closer to the Delta, ask around there for her, and she should know where your siblings are."
Clay nodded, "Thank you, may I leave now?"
"You may." The queen nodded back.
And that's a wrap for this chapter. Crane lives, we get to meet Moorhen, and we get to watch Icecicle get thrashed, just now realized we left Icicle there didn't we now, ahh well... I will deal with her next chapter. Anyways, have a nice day!
Chapter 18
As of right now, as I write this chapter, I am at 9,411 views. After I post this chapter, I should hit over 10,000 views. Thanks guys, it means a lot to me, if you would have told me a month before I started writing this fic, that I would have a wings of fire fanfiction that would have over ten thousand views, I would have called you crazy. And we are not stopping here, I plan to write this story till I easily have over one hundred thousand words. I also plan to have sequels. I already have a prequel to this story with Birth of Wings, that has my view on how dragons and much, much more became a thing in this world. I am still working on making my own music for this story, I have three different clean riffs, so now I am working on the rhythm parts, and then solos, looking forwards to that. Don't really have a song that fits to this chapter, because it's not really heart feeling, just storytelling. One finall thing before I start. Believe it or not, I have been doing a lot of planning. (How im going to bring in the jade winglet into this story, and how I am going to go about with the rain forest arc). Trust me... it was a pain, not knowing how to go about it and still getting content that I want to see. But, for all the major parts, my planning is done almost all the way up till the nightwing arc, the only part that is not planned at all is the ending arc, I got something HUGE for it, but I'm not sure how to go about it yet. That's all for the authors' notes, have fun, don't forget to tell me what you think about the story.
Clay and his friends were inside a fancy Guest house, one of the few in the Mud kingdom. Umber and Crane talking to the group, talking about past experiences. "Ya, I still remember when Reed tried to capture an alligator for the first time, that's how he got those scratches on his tail!" Umber said laughing, everybody laughing with him. Clay smiled remembering how he got to know his blood sibling for the first time.
What! A flashback!
It didn't take long to find Cattail. The outer mudwing Kingdom wasn't very big, so just about everybody knew each other and where they lived at. Cattail was outside her hut, eating a small deer.
Cattail saw him and frowned, "If you want me to share this, then the answer is NO!"
"Loving personality," Clay thought to himself. "I am not here for that, is your name Cattail?"
She nodded, "Yes I am Cattail, who's asking?"
"My name is Clay, your son that you sold to the talons for a couple of cows" Clay answered.
"If they want those cows back, then the answer is no" she cut him off before he could say anything.
"No, that's not what I am here for, I just want to know who my sibs are?" Clay asked, patience thinning.
Cattail snorts at that, "Why didn't you just start with that, they are down the road a little ways, go past the next four huts, and their hut will be the first one on the left." After she was done talking, she went back to eating, not caring about the conversation anymore.
"Thanks..." Clay muttered, not impressed with how Cattail just doesn't care at all.
It was a pretty short walk, it didn't take too long to find the hut, but he wasn't expecting certain dragons to be there.
"Reed, Crane! What are you doing here!?" Clay asked, shocked at who was there.
"uhm, we live here, what are you doing here?" Reed asked back.
"You're never going to believe this!" Clay said excitedly.
End flashback!
"I swear when I am free, I am killing all of you!" Icicle yelled at them, tied down to the floor with some vines coming from the ground. Everybody just ignored her, used to her yelling at them. It was truthfully starting to get entertaining. "Why is she here again Clay?" Starflight asked him.
Clay shrugged, "Sounded fun at the time, had it coming to her for acting like a prick, but now I am just doing it to mess with her."
"I can Freaking hear you!" Icicle yelled at them again.
"And I don't believe I asked, did I?" Clay yelled back.
Icicle just started screeching more profanities, hitting all spectrums from the profanities list.
"Shut up, we will let you leave when we leave!" Glory yelled at Icicle, trying to shut her up.
"Bull, you'll just sell me out to the highest bidder!" Icicle yelled again. She continued yelling till Starflight took ahold of her shadow and made her slam her head against the ground so hard she knocked herself out.
"Finally..." everybody muttered.
Clay stood up from where he was sitting, "I'm going to go talk to the queen now."
Everybody just nodded, but Peril stood up too, "I would like to go with you if that was fine."
Clay smiled and nodded, heading for the door. Opening it, he let Peril out first, then closed the door behind him.
"Why did you want to go for?" Clay asked curiously.
"Bored," Peril said bluntly. Truthfully, she just wanted to be with him where his tribe naturally lives, she wanted to see how he acts around here in his natural habitat.
It didn't take them to long to get to the palace, their guest house was situated close to it.
It took them about ten minutes of walking to make it to the gates, the guards letting them walk right in, knowing who they were.
Moorhen was still sitting in the same place, with her siblings still around her.
"Greetings Clay, is everything all right with your accommodations?" Moorhen asked with a smile on her face.
"They are very nice your majesty, thank you," Clay said bowing to her.
"You may rise, no need for that," Moorhen said smiling at him, turning her head to Peril, "And is this the skywing that is part of your prophecy?"
Peril nodded at this, "Yes, my name is Peril,"
Moorhen was shocked at that, "You wouldn't happen to be Scarlet's champion, wouldn't you?"
Peril was nervous now, "Yes... but I didn't want to be..."
Moorhen smiled again, "Don't worry young one, I understand how manipulative she can be, I do not blame you, you were simply just following orders."
Peril smiled at that, already liking the queen.
"But I have a question about that," Moorhen paused before continuing, "How did she get her claws on a dragonet of destiny?"
"Its a long story," Peril warned her, knowing if she explained one part, she would have to explain how she got here.
"I have time, I don't have a meeting till a while, and I have nothing else planned for the day," Moorhen said, getting comfortable in her chair.
Peril shrugged her shoulders at this, "All right then". She went on to pretty much tell her a summary of her whole life story. Going from her egg being captured, to her capturing Gill, to her helping him escape the sky kingdom, till now.
Moorhen was enjoying the story, commenting every now and then on certain parts. By the time Peril was finished, even Moorhen's siblings were starting to find it interesting. "Once you are done with this war, you need to write a book," Moorhen said smiling excitedly at them, "I find your story absolutely captivating!"
Peril nodded her head, thanking her, "I'll try and remember that."
Moorhen sat up a little bit after this, "I love the story, but I know you were here for more than to tell me stories."
Clay nodded at that, "Yes, I know you are a busy dragon so I am going to make it simple..." Clay paused before continuing, "Can you leave the war?"
Moorhen laughed hard at that, "Now that's what I like, short and simple" she kept on laughing for a bit, "I swear, people could learn a thing or two from you, always trying to beat around a bush" she finally stopped laughing and sighed.
"leave the war... hmm," Moorhen said thinking about it. I am not going to lie to you I want to leave the war, it hasn't helped us at all, and I am getting tired of having to help put unsib groups together.
"But, I won't choose what happens," Moorhen said looking out the gates at her kingdom.
Clay was confused at that, "May I please ask you to explain?"
Moorhen nodded, "Even though I have the final say in just about everything, I like to let the bigwings from every group get a vote in situations like this, where it will affect their families, and possibly get some of them killed... I know that some of them want to stop fighting... but I also know that some of them want revenge for their sibs being killed in this war."
Clay actually... loved that, letting everybody get to vote on what happens. That is the way it should be. Trusting everyone to make the right decision, and if they didn't... that was on the citizens themselves.
Clay nodded at what the queen said, "Ok, when should we expect a decision?"
"I am going to call all the troops back to the kingdom to vote, when there is a decision to be made like this, every bigwings gets to vote on this." Moorhen paused thinking, "I am going to say a week, that will give me enough time to plan everything and get the word out."
"Thank you, your majesty," Clay said bowing again, "Me and my friends are very grateful for this." Clay got up after that. "This is a lot simpler than what we had to do with the Seawings."
Moorhen was curious at that, "What did you have to do to get them to leave the war?"
"Make an island," Clay said bluntly. Moorhen laughed at that, "no, really... what did you have to do?"
Clay smiled at that, "I already told you... had to make an island for them."
Now Moorhen just thought he was being crazy, "Look, I know you are the dragonets of destiny and everything, and I enjoy your company... but you can't just make an island."
Clay slapped his head forgetting something, "I am sorry, I forgot to tell you something."
"What's that?" Moorhen asked him, wondering how it has anything to do with making a whole island.
"I have powers, I can control the earth around me" Clay smiled, looking forwards to shocking her with his powers. He loves getting a reaction out of dragons from his powers.
"What do you mean... you can control the earth around you." Moorhen asked, still confused with everything.
"Like this!" Clay said, stamping his foot into the ground, making a small pillar come up out of the ground.
"... What was that?" The queen asked, shocked at what she had just seen.
"Me!" Clay said, still smiling.
"I know that, but how?" The queen asked stumbling on herself, not knowing how it was even remotely possible, he wasn't an animus, he would have had to say what he was going to do.
"I don't know, but it's pretty cool... right?" Clay asked her.
"Yea..." A thought just came to her, can all of them do something like this?
"One last question Clay, before you leave," Moorhen asked him, still shaken. "Can all of the dragonets do something like this?"
Clay nodded again, chuckling a bit at her face.
"Three moons, you could rule the whole world with power like that, and yet you kindly ask me to leave the war, WHY?" Moorhen yelled that last part out in wonder.
"Well that would just be rude, everybody would be scared of us, and nobody would like us." Clay said simply.
"Oh" Was all that Moorhen could say.
Chapter 19
Sorry for the delay guys! We had terrible windstorms out here where I live. It tore the roof off my chicken shed, and I had to fix it, so I have been kind of busy with that. It doesn't help that I have been working on my brother's house, trying to get the upstairs of it finished. Anyways! For the next few chapters, I am going to be slowing it down. I am going to be focusing on Character development and letting them enjoy themselves for a bit. The first song I am writing for this fic is just over halfway done, it has a title now! I am calling it "Clock Strikes Midnight". I came up with the name when I was writing the entrance riff, right before I hit the main riff, it sounds like a grandfather clock striking the bell. Either way, onto the chapter, and there is no set song for this one.
Everyone was still there when Clay and Peril got back from the palace. "So... how did it go?" Starflight asked them.
"The queen agrees with us, the mudwings should leave the war," Clay paused before continuing.
"I am sure that there is a but in there, am I right?" Starflight said worried about what Clay would say.
Clay nodded his head, "Correct, but it's nothing bad," Clay smiled at what the queen decided, "She is going to leave it up to the tribe, she is going to have all the bigwings decide on a vote,".
"Wow... that's actually... fair" Starflight said, shocked that a queen would give that much control to the citizens.
Sunny jumped up, "Oh my gosh, that's how it should be everywhere!"
Clay nodded his head, "I agree, even if the queen wants to leave the war, it's still fair to let everybody decide,"
Glory frowned at what she was thinking, "What are we going to do if they decide to keep on fighting?"
"There is nothing we could do... you can tell somebody anything you want to, but it doesn't matter if everyone wants to keep fighting," Starflight answered.
"The queen said the vote will be in a week, she wants all mudwings to be present for this vote," Clay said.
Tsunami deflated at that, "What are we going to do for a whole week, that sounds horribly boring,"
Clay smiled down at her, "Think of it as a small vacation, you can go and do whatever you want to,"
"Even though we are the smallest tribe, there are still some fun things to do around here," Umber said, giggling at Tsunami.
"Like what?" Tsunami said snarky, "Sleeping in the mud isn't exactly a seawing thing,"
"There are some shops, sightseeing, and there are different competitions all the time around here" Umber answered.
Peril smiled at Clay, "I would like to get to relax for a while and try out life without my firescalles for a bit.
"What do you want to do?" Clay asked her, curious at what she would pick first.
"I don't know, let's just walk around and find out?" Peril said excitedly, going out the door and taking Clay with her.
Most of the Mud Kingdom was just huts and little storage places. The middle of the kingdom was a totally different story. Almost all the houses were built out of a mixture of mud and stones, making some elaborate buildings. There were some stores, large houses, a large armory, a few libraries, and even an arena for shows, speeches, and competitions.
"I guess Umber was right, there are some things to do around here," Peril said, looking every which way. Taking in all the new sights that were around her.
Clay's stomach made a loud grumbling noise like it was angry. Clay was embarrassed, "Let's get something to eat"
Peril just giggled a bit, "Sure! if we wait any longer, your stomach is going to start digesting yourself"
It didn't take them too long to find somewhere to eat. "Fried alligator, sounds awesome!" Clay said in excitement.
The place was a small outdoor restaurant, there were four older mudwings that were working there. All of them were too old to be in the war.
Clay walked up to the counter, checking the price they had on a sign. "Hello there, can't remember the last time that we had a skywing here," The elderly mudwing said, giving Clay and Peril a smile.
"Ya, we are kind of hungry and we were looking for something to eat," Clay said, smiling back at the elder, "Saw that you were selling fried alligator and I thought that sounded pretty good!"
"It is indeed, my older sib came up with it when we were younger," The elder said.
"Good, I'll take two please," Clay said, forking over the coins.
"Thank you sir, I will have it to you in just a minute!" The elder said, telling his sibs to get ready for another order.
Peril gave Clay an excited look, "I am sooo looking forwards to this, I haven't eaten a single thing that wasn't burnt to an absolute crisp."
"Gosh dang, that sucks..." Clay said upset, "But, don't worry... starting now, you don't have to eat burnt food!"
The elderly Mudwing came back with their food, steaming hot and smelling great. (I have eaten alligator in real life, that stuff bussing fr).
Peril and Clay went outside to the area where you ate and sat down. Peril took a big chunk off the chunk of meat. "Oh my moons, this taste ten times better than those stupid rocks!"
Clay took a small bite, "this is great! I must say, for your first time eating something that wasn't burnt, this is a good choice."
Peril loved almost everything on the piece of meat, even chewing on the bone for a little bit. She was before Clay was.
"That's a first," Clay said chuckling a bit. Peril gave him a confused look.
"Nobody ever finishes eating before me, not that I can recall anyway," Clay said, just now finishing.
"What can I say, it tasted awesome," Peril said blushing just a hair bit.
They both got up, leaving a tip on the way out for the food they ate. "That was great, what do you want to go do now?" Peril asked excitedly.
"I think we should go and try one of those competitions that Umber was talking about?" Clay said.
Peril gave him a nod, "I don't really care if I do a competition, but I think it would be pretty fun to watch you do one."
They made their way to the gate of the arena, there was already a small crowd of mudwings waiting there. An older mudwing was announcing the competition. "Today's games will be about strength, please write your name on the paper to sign up and we will get started!"
A large chunk of the mudwings broke off from the group and surrounded a table with some papers on it. Peril motioned her head towards the table and Clay walked over. Wrote his name and followed the rest of the mudwings.
"Sooo, this is my first time doing one of these?" Clay asked one of the mudwings next to him.
"They are different every time, I have no idea what it will be and nobody else does either." The mudwing said giving him a look, "Just listen for what they tell you to do, all right."
Clay gave him a nod, he was surprised when he saw a blue dragon amongst the group. "Tsunami, what are you doing here?"
Tsunami turned around in shock, "Apparently the same as you," Tsunami said looking around, "Where is Peril at?"
"She told me that she didn't want to do the competition, she said that she would like to watch me instead," Clay answered truthfully.
"Ahh, so she wanted to watch her boyfriend?" Tsunami said jokingly, making Clay blush.
"She isn't my girlfriend!" Clay hissed at her, still blushing.
"No... but you wish she was!" Tsunami said laughing. Clay just walked away still blushing.
"Clay just remember that if we compete against each other, I don't want you holding back!" Tsunami yelled at him before he left. Clay just nodded, still blushing like mad.
There were four dragons called out before Clay ever was. Clay looked around at the competing dragons that were there. Some of them were easily twice his size. Clay knew that he still had a while before he grew to his full size. He was almost to the point where he should hit a growth spurt.
"Clay, to the field!" Somebody yelled, Calling Clay out.
Clay made his way outside into the middle of the arena. He was shocked by how many dragons were watching this. Almost the whole arena was filled up. The queen herself was even watching. Umber said this was a big deal in the mud kingdom, but he had no idea it was this BIG!
He looked over at the other wall and he saw a big bracket, looking for his name. He found Tsunamis first, it was in the middle of the right side of the bracket, he was on the left. He didn't recognize any other names on the bracket.
The dragon he was competing against came out of the other side of the arena. "And now, for your two-time champion, Cypress!".
Cypress was huge! Not as big as the queen. He wasn't that tall or anything, it's just that his muscles were gigantic, as about as big as trees were wide.
"Clay and Cypress of the mudwings, for the first part of the games we will be doing the atlas stone lift, we will not be basing this off of a time limit, you just keep on going till you can't anymore." The announcer ordered. Both Clay and Cypress nodded.
"We will start with Cypress first!" The announcer said dramatically.
Cypress did pretty well, being able to get almost over half of them getting up to the stone that lifted a good five tons. He made it to the six-ton ball, but dropped it halfway up.
"Alright, my turn" Clay muttered to himself, making it to the six-ton ball. What was shocking to everyone is that he hasn't even started to struggle yet, but unknown to them he was using his powers. Everyone went ballistic when he made it to the "Queen's Stone". It was called that because only the Queen was able to pick it up, and that's been years ago. Clay lifted it like it weighed about as much as a cup of tea, with one hand to be exact. Cypress left a while ago, not being able to handle the loss.
Clay also walked out after he was done. Everybody in the stadium was too shocked to say anything. But one sky wing was laughing at the sight.
Clay walked back in, the rest of the competing mudwings didn't see what he did. The rest of the competition went about the same way. The next one was a pillar push, Clay just punched the ground and made all of his pillars crumble, and the last one was to see how long you could lift up one of the eight ton atlas balls. Clay never even broke a sweat the whole competition.
It was finally the last competition, both Clay and Tsunami had made it with no issues. Hundreds of mudwings were depressed because they lost their bets in the first round to them.
"Alright, final challenge!" The announcer started, "Whoever wins this, gets the title of the strongest dragon, and fifty gold coins!". The announcer paused before continuing, "The last challenge is a good old fight, no fire, no mauling, permanent damage, or killing... Is that Clear!"
Both Clay and Tsunami nodded. "All right, you may start when you feel like it!" The announcer said, flying back to the box.
Smiling at each other. "Hey Clay, want to give them a show?" Tsunami asked giddy to show off a bit.
"Sure, but let's not destroy the place!" Clay said, just as excited.
After Clay said that, Tsunami shot one of her claws into the air, circling it around her head for a bit, clouds forming up, starting to make it rain.
It didn't bother anybody, they were used to it raining all the time here. It truthfully just made all the mudwing happier and more excited.
Clay crouched down, knowing that right now he was surrounded by Tsunamis element. He has trained with her enough times to know by now what she liked to do.
There it was! She flicked her tail and a large part of water formed and started speeding towards him. Clay shot to the right, dodging it. Stomping his back leg into the ground, making the rock below him fling himself at Tsunami. Cocking his front right leg back, getting ready to punch Tsunami.
Tsunami blocked him by forming a wall between each other. Clay's claws were stuck in the water wall. Clay waved his tail, and some small pillars shot into the wall, dispelling it. Both started charging at each other. Tsunami formed a water-type armor on herself, and Clay formed rocks onto his fist.
They both took a swing at each other... and knocked each other out at the same time, it was a draw.
Nobody in the crowd knew what to say or do. What are you supposed to do when two dragons start using strange powers and knock each other out. Peril was laughing at the dragons she just watched. She wanted Clay to win, but this was too funny.
Both of them started waking up, slowly standing up. "That's it for today folks, today's fight ends in a draw!" The announcer said after he got out of shock. "Next week's fight will also be the at the same time, please be there!"
"Clay and Tsunami, here is your winnings," The announcer said, handing each of them a bag of coins, "Since you both tied, you will split the winnings"
"Cool!" Tsunami said, jingling the coins in the bag, "Clay, I will win next time!"
Clay just gave her a look, "If my memory serves correctly, we are both tied in how many times we have won against each other"
Tsunami just shrugged her shoulders and left, flying back to the place they were staying.
Clay turned around, seeing that Peril was waiting for him, "What are you going to do with the coins?" Peril asked as Clay walked over to her.
"We are going to be here for at least a week, I am sure that I will find something to spend it on," Clay said, thinking of a few things.
It was late now, the sun starting to set. Remembering what Umber said, he took off into the air. Peril following him.
He kept on flying till he found a good place to watch the sunset. Finding a small hill, he landed there. Peril right next to him.
"Thanks Clay, for being with me today," Peril said, leaning on Clay's side.
"I had fun today, Peril, we will definitely have to do this again soon," Clay said looking off into the distance at the sunset. The colors reminded him of the dragon that was next to him.
"Yep," Was all that Peril said, as she laid down next to Clay.
Well, that's a wrap for today. I am sooo excited for the new Metallica album that's coming out tomorrow. I don't care for all the hate they are getting for their last few singles. I loved them. but enough of that. I have planned out when I am bringing in the Jade winglet, and its going to be completely different. The most shocking thing I am going to be doing is definitely the Rain Wing arc. It was causing me a huge dilemma and I needed it solved. The way I solved it was simple, but different from any fic I have ever read. Last thing, get ready to meet some familiar faces in the next chapter. Bet you won't guess who it is.
