A World of Unity

This page is undergoing a major revamp!
A World of Unity is an AU by TempestMidnight.
Six thousand years have passed since the fires of the Scorching blazed across Pyrrhia. Wars were fought, peace was won, and all was well. Perhaps the peace came when the last of the scavengers had gone into hiding, no longer daring to steal dragon eggs, for fear of another scorching raining down upon them. Perhaps peace came when Darkstalker was trapped, unable to curse the IceWing and NightWing tribes like every dragon expected. Perhaps peace came when the SandWing war ended, or the Lost Continent returned, or when symbols of unity emerged. Perhaps peace simply never came.
The hope that the dragon world had finally found peace had been utterly destroyed when Queen Lacewing of the BeetleWings declared war. Her main goals were to sever the unity between the tribes, believing them all to be bloodthirsty and cruel deep down, and to put an end to the sudden rise in hybrids, believing them to be impure and defective. Some of the queens agreed with Lacewing, some did not. Thus began the great Continental War, one that would shake the world for centuries to come.

==The United Prophecy==
One year before Lacewing reigned and five before the Continental War began, a NightWing with the ability to see the future heard a prophecy. This prophecy has long since been forgotten, hidden by Lacewing.
A storm of beetles clouding the night,
An endless storm feeding their plight,
Led by a queen of despair and blood,
A kingdom lost beneath the endless flood.
A war will rage, leaving nothing but fire,
Beginning a quest, of five who desire
To find the fallen, that is their task,
Given and taken, two queens hidden behind a mask.
Of ice and beetle, of night and sea,
Truth is not always what it is thought to be,
From hive to leaf, a queen lost in her grief,
Her sister crowned queen, her brother remaining unseen.
