Book 16: The Cave of Secrets

== Preface==
The Cave of Secrets is book 1 of the fan-made 4th arc by user wolfburrito95 and is set after the events of The Flames of Hope.
==Prologue==
I've seen every part of the LeafSilk Kingdom. We're always within its walls, but what's outside of them? I see the HiveWings fly by, either inside of the walls or in the fields beyond, but they never enter their hives. They're a little lopsided since the storms hit. And they've been empty since the flames burned. But they're there, and they want to avoid their past. Why else would it be so empty? What could possibly be haunting outside of these walls, without all these wonderful dragons?
==Part 1: Inside the Walls==
===Chapter 1===
Amber stood at the edge of her sticky, wood-silk house, gazing at the sky. Darkness fell onto the land, as it had hours ago, and yet the vibrant wings of SilkWings shone like the stars in the sky. By now, there were trees as tall as some of the houses, which might not sound like much, but if the legends were true, there wouldn't be trees there at all. For some reason, a HiveWing queen called Wasp decided to burn them all down. It seemed like a pointless endeavor, but all that mattered was that they grew back.
She opened her wings, their tan leather eager to catch the wind so she could find a tree to spin a web. The gusts of the night carried her across the sky, past the sprouting houses stacked on one another. It always amused her, on these nightly flights, to see so many dragons from Pantala, and yet here and there, dragons from Pyrrhia would be seen walking about. They were mostly MudWings who lurked near Dragonfly Bay, creating houses and bringing unique flora from their home continent. Were Amber to be asked why it was them who settled in as opposed to the many other tribes, she couldn't answer.
Her green eyes were glancing around the floor, focused so much on it that she didn't see the looming tree until her wings had collided. It was right in the MudWings' territory, although it was never made official. The light, thin branches shook under her weight, some of which broke, and her wings were clumsy in their effort to fly. Amber nearly struck the mud, scraping her claws and wingtips as she regained her flight. A shadow reared its head from behind a building, but by then, Amber had twisted up, and started turning around to continue along her way. I should reach Yamfly's house before the sun rises...
That was, of course, a plan. And, like all plans Amber had, it didn't hold for long.
The winds struck harder than before, twisting her wings against her will. She tumbled in the sky, fighting for control. What's with the weather tonight?! It wasn't this bad closer to the Kingdom! Her wings folded; she dove down right after. It seems she would stop by the MudWings for the night. When I wanted to visit Yamfly, I didn't think it would take a day. I guess the weather wanted to prove me wrong. She snorted. Awful weather. Always in my way.
