The chronicles of Pantala

== The Burning Silk ==
=== Chapter 1 ===
Throughout his dragonethood, Peacock was always advised not to do anything. Other dragons thought he always messed things up, badly. But Peacock knew he didn't, in fact he made everything better, and nobody saw it that way. He was falsely accused of being a troublemaker but really the explosion in the library was seriously, not his fault. How could dragons accuse him of crimes he did not commit. 
And the only reason he wasn't banished from Rootplace was because his mother was Orchard. The Orchard, one of the heads of the SilkWing Assembly and a member of the Council of Pantala. Orchard achieved the impossible.
Peacock knew that getting inside the SilkWing assembly was a lot of hard work, let alone being in the Council. Only five SilkWing out of the twelve heads of the SilkWing assembly got the chance to be at the council, and Peacock wanted to be so too. 
Peacock had two sisters and a brother and he wanted to step out of their shadows. Leopard was barely twelve, but he was already a successful business man in Ladybug Hive. He was a flamesilk like mother, and his flamesilk is said to be one of the best in Ladybug Hive. He left Rootplace a couple of years ago, when Peacock was only five.
Sunset was arguably the most beautiful SilkWing in Rootplace. Orchard didn't even mind that she wasn't a flamesilk like her. Ever since her hatching, anyone who saw her would be awestruck. When she underwent metamorphosis, Peacock never heard the end of it. 
And there was Sphinx, she was an year and half younger than Peacock, but she was gifted beyond imagination and most dragons called her 'a dragonet prodigy'. She aced her classes, solved complicated problems and even received the dragonet award of discovery, while she was only FOUR.
Peacock crept out of his room. His internal clock said that about two hours passed since sunrise. The whole house seemed to be deserted, his mother Orchard and father Picasso had already left to work. Sphinx was most likely at school, which was obvious considering her school started ten minutes earlier. But it didn't seem right everybody left without waking him. Peacock trotted towards their front door and opened it gently and a marvelous site met his eyes.
Hundreds upon hundreds of dragons were dressed in festive clothing. Under the sun the golden and obsidian of the HiveWings almost blinded him. Bronze and emerald LeafWings sparkled. Most enchanting of all SilkWings of all colors of the rainbow flew in perfect unison. Stacks and stacks of food and festive supplies laid in the dirty roads. All the houses and buildings were decorated with the best tapestries the SilkWings offered.
Visitors of the Pyrrhia drove through the roads and the sky too. He spotted vast numbers of glittering IceWings and golden SandWings. He spotted red and orange SkyWings midst Mahogany brown MudWings and glowing SeaWings. And an enormous cloud of dragons arrived from the east, NightWings and RainWings, led by Queen Firefly. They didn't get visitors from the Pyrrhia often, and so many dragons meant..
Oh he realized, It was Pantalan Independents day. How could he ever forget something like that. He could feel a knot of guilt tied inside, how could a future tribe ruler ever forget it.
"Peacock" said a voice in the cobblestone street, who he quickly recognized as Sphinx. She was running along towards him for an unknown reason. Sphinx was always a know-it-all who tried to do everything by herself.
"You're late" she shouted "Mother's speech is supposed to start in twenty minutes and you are STILL HERE". Peacock almost forgot that Sphinx had a problem with her anger, she got easily angry and tried to boss others around.
"Twenty minutes is a long time" he protested "Everyone's here." 
"NO, everyone is starting to go AND YOU'D BETTER COME WITH ME" she shouted. But Sphinx was true, the crowd was starting to wane. 
"Come on lets walk" she said becoming calmer than she was. It was easy to forget that Sphinx had a full year before her metamorphosis. She was the only dragon in the family who didn't have wings or silk. Whether she became the third sibling with flamesilk, or the second without was still unknown, unless they contacted a NightWing who claims to be a seer.
"Is the council there already there?" he asked.
"Yes, and mother is furious. Viceroy is trying hard to steal her speech. I heard she wants to kill her with her flamesilk." 
Peacock laughed. His mother was more patient than a tree, but the one (and only) thing that got on her nerves was Lord Viceroy. Ever since Lord Viceroy was appointed in the council, he tried to grab every bit of power he could have. Almost every SilkWing knew he wanted to be the dictator of his tribe and only his fellow council members could stop him. Lord Viceroy has a bunch of trusted followers and was in good terms with the Queens of Pyrrhia, so he couldn't be tossed out either, but that didn't mean that they couldn't taunt him.
