Onyx's Revenge

Onyx the SandWing twitched her tail impatiently. What was taking that blasted NightWing so long? She didn’t have much time. Onyx growled. A future queen never needed to wait. She squinted and saw a dark figure winging its way through the treetops. It landed heavily on the rock ledge. 
“Finally!” Onyx exploded. “That took you long enough! I have a curfew, you know! I could get kicked out of Jade Mountain Academy, for moon’s sake!” The NightWing flicked his tail dismissively. “Relax, dear. You are not going to get kicked out. And at least you don’t have a RainWing as a queen.” Onyx rolled her eyes. “Oh please. Glory’s completely fine. But do you know what is outrageous? An imposter on the SandWing throne! My SandWing throne! I am the rightful heir! Not that Thorn! And her stunted daughter hasn’t been any help, either. I mean, honestly.” The NightWing sniffed. “Hmph. Well, I got the information you requested. There are a few unclear bits, but none of it is particularly helpful anyway." 
The NightWing produced a scroll case. Onyx snatched the case from his talons and carefully opened it. The scroll inside slid into her talons. Onyx tossed the case aside and examined it critically. Suddenly, she ripped the scroll in half! “Hey!” the NightWing protested, scrambling to retrieve the scroll bits. “That took me all morning to write!” Onyx shoved him forcefully. “This,” she snarled, “is not what I need. It is not helpful at all. In fact, it is the complete opposite.” “But you didn’t look!” the NightWing complained, piecing the two halves together. “What do you mean? I looked at it for five entire seconds!” Onyx snapped. The NightWing shook his head and pointed to the scroll scraps. “Look!” Onyx narrowed her eyes as she read the paragraph the NightWing was pointing at. 
“And how is a general’s daughter going to help me?” she asked bluntly. “I mean, she’s smaller than Sunny.”  The NightWing pointed again. “Keep going,” he urged. Onyx sighed, but did as told. She came across two names. Onyx curled her tail thoughtfully. Hmm, she thought. Qibli. He may be of help to me. “Figure it out now?” the NightWing asked. Onyx arched her venomous tail threateningly. “Next time, be straightforward instead of wasting my time. Now get out of my sight, you cryptic worm,” Onyx spat. She whirled around and flew back to Jade Mountain, a plan already forming in her mind.Perhaps, she thought, Vulture can help me.
 She stalked into the main hall and was immediately approached by fellow SandWings. Not true SandWings, Onyx thought. They will never be true SandWings with a fake queen leading them. "Onyx!" a SandWing named Arid called. Onyx turned to face her. "What?" she snapped. Arid flinched. "Um. Sorry. Just wanted to ask what you think of the school so far." Onyx groaned inwardly. This was why she didn't talk to other dragons. They asked the most useless questions. "There is just so much happening," Onyx said, forcing a smile. "With the explosion and everything. I haven't really gotten to explore much." Pronghorn sidled up next to Arid. "What do you think about it? The explosion, I mean." he asked. Onyx sighed. If I just pretend that it's horrible, hopefully they'll change the subject. "It's so unfortunate," Onyx said dramatically. "Carnelian and Bigtail weren't my absolute favorite dragons in the world, but I didn't want them dead."
 "Who do you think planted the bomb?" Pronghorn asked. "I heard it was Icicle. I heard she planted the bomb and waited for the right time to come back to the history cave to make herself look like a victim." Onyx wrinkled her snout. "Playing victim doesn't really sound like something Icicle would do. She would never display herself as weak. She is an IceWing, after all. I don't think it was her." Pronghorn growled. "It was just something I heard." At that moment, they were approached by Qibli and that mumbly NightWing dragonet. Ostrich, who had been just sitting there listening, jumped to her feet. "Qibli! Are you going home? I might go home. Do you think Father or Thorn would be mad if I went home?" Don't go home, Onyx prayed. My plan would be completely ruined if you went home.
