== Prologue: ==
Fluorite perked out of a bush and scanned the surrounding. It was night time, but he is too bright to be revealed in a shady jungle in Pantala, so instead of hiding like a coward, Fluorite started to shift his green and blue scales into deep blue like the night sky and the dark jungle. 
Is it a good thing that I’m a RainWIng? How can the SeaWing part of me help, when I hardly look like a part of them? Fluorite thought in bitterness. His SeaWing web spine and claws are blended and look like a RainWing at first glance, if they didn’t look harder. His thick, but curly tail is too RainWing-like, which he hates about being a hybrid if he look like a dragon consisting of one tribe, not two. He closed his eyes and started walking, letting his thoughts overwhelm him on the way. 
But I can breathe underwater. These dragons will never notice me breathing underwater and think I would be drowning! Fluorite complained quietly. He flexed his webbed claws, flaring his blended gills and snorted. Both of my tribes don’t breathe fire! I would be flaring smoke if even one does. But, I do have my tribal venom fangs, he thought proudly for a moment before turning to disappointment. What was the point if you can’t get powerful with venom and fire? He might as well breathe ice, he sighed. 
Before he even see or react, he slipped and fell on a cliff into a rushing river, and clawed his way up to the surface and gasped. Right when he was about to sink and breathe his way through, a dragon took his talons and soon, both dragons surfaced and panted from the strong force of the river. 
Fluorite took a moment to proceed and immediately scrambled up and take a good look at the rescuer. It is a female SeaWing, with deep blue scales like sapphires, and despite the coldness of the rushing river, Fluorite feels warm and realizes he is in love instantly. 
The SeaWing wheezed and laughed, rubbing her head with her talons, “Wow! I had never saved dragons like this way! I should do this often!” She shook her body and wings, sending splatter of water everywhere on Fluorite and stood up taller. She seems small to be a normal SeaWing, Fluorite noted, examining her. She stretched her body and wings to her full extent and turn up to Fluorite. 
Even her ocean blue eyes are very pretty! Fluorite exclaimed to himself. He stuttered, “Hello, it was kinda dumb of me to be falling in water and not paying attention. But to be polite, I’m Fluorite, and you?” He started feeling hotter and blushing harder than intended, like, isn’t it too cheesy!? But instead of neglecting, to Fluorite’s surprise, the SeaWing smiled, “I’m Seapool. I suggest that you should see where you’re going. Your eyes were closed!” Fluorite took a moment to unscramble the words what she said and started realizing in embarrassment that she was there the whole scene. Fluorite grumbled, “Um, I have a question.” Is it weird to ask this very soon? “Can you be… my mate?” 
He shut his eyes and embraced for a sharp comment, and peeked to see that Seapool is not in disgust, but in surprised. Seapool slowly said, “I- I need time to think about it, but I want to be your mate too.” 
Fluorite had his breath taken away and returned and said, “I’m glad.” 
- 
Fluorite thought, Where is Seapool? I know she want me to meet someone, but can I even wait any longer? Seapool told Fluorite to wait at the edge of the Scorpion Lake’s stinger to meet someone she know well. What if it’s her parents? Wouldn’t I be a bad impression, or suitable to be mates? After all, it is only a moon since the first meeting. 
After a while, Fluorite was at the edge of leaving, but then, he heard talonsteps. He strained to hear two sets, then three, but the last one was hardly heard. If that was Seapool’s parents, then one must be extremely small, Fluorite thought. Soon enough, he can see silhouettes appearing out of the shadow. But he realized that there are two adults dragons, and a dragonet. Maybe that is Seapool’s younger sibling? Fluorite thought in desperation. 
To Fluorite’s dismay, the two new dragons don’t even look like Seapool. In fact, this particular adult dragon looks familiar. Fluorite squinted his eyes in the dark, luckily he has visible SeaWing scales, and realized that it was his SilkWing friend, Clearwing. 
Clearwing was a dear friend to Fluorite, of course. They met when they were dragonets, here in this continent Pantala, and have been inseparable since then. Over the last year, they had never seen each other, only wrote letters to one other, but still. This night was his first meeting with Clearwing in a year. Fluorite had a thought, but he wanted to shove it away. How could Clearwing, his pale mint-green SilkWing, ever be with Seapool? Only one way to find out. 
Fluorite gulped, embracing for the incoming truth. He shuddered and sighed. He glanced up to look and pretend to widened his eyes at the sight. Fluorite exclaimed, “Clearwing? Do you know Seapool?” Clearwing, looking away, finally noticed Fluorite and, there was a hint of surprise in his voice as he said, “So this is him you’re talking about?” 
Seapool, looking bright, glanced at her two mates and happily said, “So you two know each other? It seems like a huge coincidence!” She chuckled awkwardly. Fluorite sniffed, “Clearwing and I are friends since dragonets.” Seapool look slightly shocked and let out a sharp inhale, “Ah, well then you might not like me if you knew,” she eyed down. Clearwing exhaled and fluttered his four deep green wings. 
A small voice chirped, “No one saw me?” Fluorite blinked, forgetting the small dragonet. He craned his neck to look at a small, green-blue dragonet. He has one pairs of wings, sharper head with longer horns and antennas, but his gills and webs are present. He has a very pale shade of blue eyes and thinner tail with fewer, but brighter glowing scales than the average SeaWing. This is a hybrid of a SeaWing, and a SilkWing, Fluorite realized in despair. He asked the dragonet, “How old are you, little one?” 
The dragonet squeaked, “I’m almost two moons old! My name’s Kelp! My momma is Seapool and Clearwing is my papa!” Fluorite scrunched his face, as he realized that Clearwing was Seapool’s first mate, not Fluorite. Seapool never told me and yet they had an egg before my confession! Fluorite thought in rage and jealousy. Not at Seapool, but at Clearwing. How could he do this to me!? He thought in rage. 
He glanced behind to see Kelp’s parents in deep discussion. Soon, revenge has only remained in Fluorite’s thoughts. He asked the dragonet, “Do you want to play hide and seek?” Kelp perked excitedly and squealed, “I’m the seeker!” He ran to an oak tree and covered his eyes with both his talons and wings. He counted, “One, two, three…” 
Before Kelp continued, Fluorite swiftly covered Kelp’s mouth and covered him with his arms, turning invisible quickly. He glanced at the parents again and thought, They have to not suspect me. Kelp’s muffled screams sounded and soon, Fluorite remembered there was a HiveWing society that takes hybrid dragons away to do some experiments or just holding them hostage. He thought of an idea and slowly shifted his belly side scales to look like a HiveWing. 
Now, how to get them out? 
Fluorite have to act fast. 
He immediately rammed himself against the tree and rubbed his scales off painfully until they scattered. 
At least these departed scales can’t shift back to its original colors. He glanced around and soon noticed that deeper in the Scorpion Lake, there is a small burrow, small for a dragonet. He whispered to Kelp, “Keep quiet and hide there, in that hole. You can breathe underwater, right? So quiet down.” Fluorite thought and then added, “Your parents are the seekers, so your counting almost got you caught.” 
Kelp pushed his head out and whimpered, “But I’m scared. Why did you take me?” Fluorite felt annoyed and calmly repeated, “Your parents can hear you counting loud from far.” Kelp was hesitant and dived into the water. Fluorite can finally exhale, calming down, setting up a horrified expression and start approaching Seapool and Clearwing. 
Fluorite roared, “Kelp is missing! We played hide and seek and then I searched for him and he's gone!” Seapool snapped and looked at Fluorite with her scared expression. She screamed, “Kelp!” Clearwing dashed and looked around to find Kelp, which he couldn't, to Fluorite’s relief. 
Then, Clearwing shouted in a distance, “Guys! I found scales!” Seapool looked up in surprise and dashed to see the scales, Fluorite following her tail. Then she shrieked, “HiveWings! The society took our dragonet away!” 
Before Fluorite can even pause, Seapool whacked him in his face with her big tail as she cried, “Fluorite, you could just at least watch him and not get lost to the HiveWings!” 
She broke down in tears and drooped, with Clearwing there to comfort her. Seapool whimpered, “Kelp must have been a strong dragon to fight these… these kidnappers.” Her expression went from furious to apologetic as she turned to Fluorite and said in her teary voice, “I’m sorry, love, I didn't mean it, but losing our first dragonet,” she leaned her head to Clearwing’s chest, “is a huge loss. I’m sorry, again.” 
Fluorite is feeling a rage inside, but he pushes it down as he sighs, “I’m sorry too,” bowing his head. Seapool trembled as she said, “I want to go home. I don't want to be here, where Kelp was kidnapped. Let's go, Clearwing.” Her head was down as she beckoned and then flew away instantly. 
Clearwing sighed and looked at Fluorite, which made him uneasy because of the fact that they were childhood friends. He nodded his head and Clearwing took off in the night sky. 
Fluorite sighed annoyingly of how hard it can get. He shouted, “Kelp, come on out! Your parents left you because they think you're not here!” 
Soon enough, a head perked out of the water and Kelp whispered, “Are you sure? They look sad.” Fluorite snorted and said, “They want you to feel that and make you come out.” 
Kelp stared nervously and said, “What now?” Fluorite stared for a moment and grumbled, “We should go to Phyrria. Besides, your parents said you're strong, right?” Kelp, cowering, stood up taller and smiled, “That is true! They say that all the time!” 
Fluorite smirked and said, “Let's get going.” 
== Prologue (Old Ver.): ==
Seapool was sneaking out, again. She wouldn’t have been done it, unless she wanted to be with her two boyfriends for eternity! She took the conch shell. “Teleport me to Pantala in the usual place where I met Clearwing," She said and suddenly she popped up in the woods. She flew to find and meet her first boyfriend, Clearwing. 
But then, Seapool realized that her second boyfriend, Fluorite, was with Clearwing. That was unusual for both of them to be together. Oh well, that didn’t matter, at least she didn’t have to fly all over Pantala to meet both of them. Seapool nudged her snouts with her boyfriends’ snouts. 
“Seapool, I know that we’ll be married, but I followed Clearwing to meet you to deliver the bad news,” Fluorite suddenly said. He hesitated, keeping the answer to himself. Clearwing looked disappointed, as he probably already knew the answer. What was going on? 
“I have, and wanted to break up with you,” Fluorite continued. 
The world was blank, her heart was beating loud, echoing through her body. She could feel the spark inside her trying to leave her body. 
In his sad voice, Fluorite explained that he met a beautiful dragon named Blackout and Blackout told Fluorite said that she was a secret descendant of Darkstalker, completely different and the opposite from him. He also said that he loved Blackout. 
Love. Wait. He. Loved. Blackout? Wasn’t he suppose to love Seapool? He LOVED me, then decided to BREAK up? That wasn’t like him! He PROMISED HER. “YOU TRAITOR! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME FOREVER! THAT’S WHAT YOU ALWAYS SAID,” Seapool broke out the silence as she roared furiously. 
Fluorite was quiet, his face darken and started to stammer, “B-but, yes, I did say that. But, um, you see, it a-a n-normal relationship, a-and I have and wanted to move on, b-because we al-already have d-dragonets, s-so I will marry an-another dragon to h-have more d-dragonets, right? Then, we will love and live together forever with no problems caused anymore. Isn’t that what we might have wanted without knowing?” 
Seapool immediately cried with tears dropping. Fluorite regretted everything already. He reached his talons to touch hers. “But, I will love you, no matter if I love another dragon, I will still love-“ He said ruefully, but was cut off. She was so furious and slashed at his claws, shouting, “NO! I HATE YOU FOREVER! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT OR I FEED YOU TO THE SHARKS!” 
He winced, gave her a wounded look, and quickly said, "But, does that mean you won’t have eggs? Not a single one?" He was so broken up, his face shadowed and flew away, away, away, from Seapool and Clearwing. Now Seapool felt guilty. Maybe, I didn’t give him a chance, that was why he was nervous to tell me this. But how can I tell him we do have an egg together? I wanted to tell him, but I don’t have the chance to tell him. He would ignore me forever now that he knows I am so mad at him. She wept in silence when Clearwing put his right wing on hers. “I’m sorry about it. I didn’t expect this to happen,” he said. 
Then, an idea popped up in her head. She widen her eyes, feeling surprised. 
She should and could lay her egg a year before the brightest night and then Fluorite will love her back, because the dragonet would be powerful, which was what Fluorite liked. He loved power. Yes, YES! Maybe, she could do this! It was a good idea! 
She glanced at Clearwing quickly, and then she realized something more important as her insides squeezed with guilt. 
Would she have to abandon and break up her relationship with Clearwing? How could she know when is the brightest night was coming without encountering one? How could she know Fluorite’s new location to present her dragonet to him? How could she tell if Fluorite completely hates her or loves her just to see his secret dragonet? How can she figure out if Blackout already have a dragonet or more before showing her baby? 
She don't know which was real or fake; right or wrong; success or fail at all, but she knows something that been crawling in her scales all the time she have this thought; 
Everything will change. 
== Chapter One: ==
Blackout sighed. She can’t stop glancing at her first egg when doing things, especially important ones like serious prey situations or something similar to that. She shook her head and feel very tired from her occupied mind. I should stop sweeping, Blackout decided and put away her old wooden broom. She lives in a huge forest canopy treehouse, greatly camouflaged from eyes of the sky, but she is not living alone, besides the egg. The egg is a swirling mess of pale orange and black and rainbow splatters that almost hurts her eyes, almost. Her mate, Fluorite, has left to do what he needed to do, or at least he said so. 
She can hardly believe her mate’s words because of how he was always this mysterious or just moping. He told me when we first met, that he had broken up with his previous mate, Seapool without telling her because Seapool already had a dragonet with her first mate, Blackout recalled. 
Then, her head suddenly gave Blackout a head-splitting headache and clutched until it dialed away. Sadly, she can’t think of complicated things or she could die. It is a strange disability she hatched with, but then again, her egg could be animus-cursed. She stared at the egg and her thoughts pondered, I’m a hybrid of a NightWing and an IceWing. My NightWing father look like an ordinary seer, but I can’t tell if he descended from Darkstalker or not. Blackout thought again. But then, this animus heredity doesn’t guarantee that power for the dragonets. 
Her head started to ache again, so she stopped until it went away once again. Blackout sighed, wondering why she had to think about those things and almost died of it. 
She is mainly a white IceWing with dark purple underbelly and faded-in black front legs and rigid claws. She also has faded tips and joints on her IceWing spikes and NightWing’s wings, sharp IceWing eyes and head with faded black narrow whip-like tail, but no tail spikes. At least she appreciate herself, unlike Fluorite, Blackout snorted. He’s too greedy and begs for power, Blackout thought. She looked up at the night sky outside the window, and realized she missed Phyrria. Maybe when my dragonet becomes older, we can go there, Blackout smiled. She blinked and widened her eyes as she saw something that wasn’t there, nor expected; 
The arrival of the brightest night. 
Blackout was still in shock state, but she just slowly walk out of the window and the moonlight shine through the egg. It suddenly turned partially silver and then… 
CRK 
Blackout panicked, Wait, my egg is hatching, under the brightest night!? But, the sky seems a bit red or it is just my vision. But, it can’t be… It is what she is seeing. Is it the Brightest Blood Night? Blackout only heard of it from legends that happens at per three brightest nights, making it over three hundred years ago. 
Is it lucky to see the moment or a curse to see such blood color like it? It hurts to think about it. Soon, she felt the sharpest pain in her head she ever felt and collapsed on the wooden floor and grasped herself, trying to recover. After what seems to be an eternity, she felt calmer but still high and slowly stood up at the egg to see it hatched, but the dragonet is not here. 
“My dragonet! Where is it?” Blackout exclaimed and searched, but realized that the dragonet is inside the empty egg, just small to hide. She widened her eyes and walked to the dragonet in the egg. She peeked and then a small head poked up, almost scaring her. But she was awestruck of how gorgeous the dragonet is. 
The dragonet has a near black body with gray IceWing spikes and strange soft golden edges running around the gills with teardrop-shaped spots to the scales and ended at the long IceWing tail. Even stranger, there are teardrops at their wrists that seem to banding together into what looks like imprinted bracelets and another horn at their temple, like a HiveWing. SeaWing underbelly webs and little glowing scales, RainWing golden frills, NightWing mind reading teardrop, and maybe futureseer because of how she read stories about NightWing’s powers, IceWing slight coldness and milky orange eyes. Even their underbelly look like a violet galaxy! And their wings is what caught Blackout’s eyes the most; a wing that shown to look like a tan-orange cloudy dawn and another wing that look like a NightWing’s wing but with rainbow stars, like Peacemaker, Blackout remembered, aligned like constellations. 
Blackout couldn’t even speak, but she managed to speak, “Constellation.” 
Constellation squeaked and shook violently, then went still, which made Blackout immediately concerned and thought that this dragonet might be dead. She whimpered as she shook Constellation softly, but the dragonet recovered and blinked at their mother like nothing had happened. Is my curse genetic? It look like it, but they seems fine, Blackout feared. Constellation blinked again and squeaked. 
Blackout sighed and thought, What can I do without you, dear Constellation? 
- 
Seapool shuddered at her stubborn flashback of Kelp taken away. She wanted that memory gone, but she can’t forget her dear first dragonet, can’t she? She rubbed her temple, feeling exhausted because of the stress of being a mother. 
What if that exhaustion interfere with me caring for my second dragonet? Seapool must not allow it. But here in her abandoned cave home, it felt claustrophobic and her egg is further in the cave, where there is an underground lake. She stared inside of the cave’s mouth, watching the rain, and starting to recall the Brightest Blood Night that occurred almost a quarter moon ago. And the lake have a sky hole, so it reached my egg, but does it stayed affected? 
She can never tell. 
But do these nights affect personality changes or other major ones? These special nights are hard to document, Seapool paced. 
She almost jolted out of her scales when a pair of wings laid on her, then another smaller one. She tried to let herself relieved and look at Clearwing, her SilkWing mate. Clearwing sighed, “Seapool, you have to calm down or you won’t have enough energy to even care for an energetic dragonet, if ours is that energetic,” his expression shown of worry. Seapool sighed, rubbing her temple again as she murmured, “But we could be letting down our guard once and have that dragonet stolen instead, like Kelp.” She sobbed lightly, but rubbed them out before Clearwing did it for her. 
Seapool sighed and stared at the faint two full moons and a crescent. She pondered, If one of us even descended from only a NightWing mate, then this dragonet might have both tribal NightWing powers. 
She thought a random thing again. Why is this has to be her personality? It seems annoying, but a SeaWing with NightWing powers would be a tad bit interesting. 
Seapool exhaled and told her mate, “Clearwing, I’ll go check out the egg, see if it hatched or at least some change happening.” 
Before Clearwing can protest, Seapool walked deeper into the dark, farther from the exit. And then glowing worms started to lighten up the way to the underground lake. It was still a wonder of why the previous residences have chosen to abandon this cave. 
Then she heard a shuffled sound and a color on her corner, but she turn to see nothing. At least, nothing usual. It was suspicious, but she let it slide, just a little. She started to see water ripples reflecting against the dull wall and then the underground lake appeared. So magnificent of a sight to see such huge lake in a mere cave! She took a quiet, splashless dive into the clear water and found her pale glowing egg instantly. It was deep blue with mint swirls and paler blue speckles, which she likes about her egg. 
She picked it up gently and felt a sensation like something was wrong, like as if a dragon had touched the egg. She snarled bubbles and wrapped the egg around her arms and stared into the darker areas of the lake in case some kind of SeaWing might be hiding in secret. Seapool flexed her claws, preparing for a fight before she heard a splash and turned to get punched at. 
Seapool let out a roar in pain and swam to the darker section for a slight advantage and laid her egg safely in a nest of corals and turn at her attacker. She can hardly see, but it look like a strange shape of a SeaWing, just not right. But instead of aiming at Seapool, the attacker went straight for the egg and that put Seapool at alert and roared, She swam so fast that she head butted the dragon and clawed him badly, which the attacker retreats immediately. 
Seapool resurfaced and panted loudly. She managed to glimpse the dragon’s tail, huge but curly pale blue tail leaving the sky hole. Who is this dragon and what did it want from me? Seapool widened her eyes and immediately thought, Was it Fluorite? But a dragon like him will never do that! 
A voice whispered, But he might. 
The egg! It must be hatching soon. Seapool dived again and searched for the egg, but it is gone. Then, a soft glow emitted and the egg with now glowing mint swirls had revealed itself to Seapool and she picked it up. As soon as she exited the dark area of the underground lake, the egg let out a bubble and hatched into a female hybrid. She is so beautiful, Seapool thought, tearfully. 
The dragonet is blue with iridescent scales and mint glowing scales. She has a very deep blue underbelly. She even has her father’s head with the antennas! Her wings are not present, but she can see tiny wing buds and to Seapool’s amusement, the dragonet might have her father’s wings as well. She flashed her Aquatic language, Azure, that’s your name, Azure. 
Seapool smiled and brought Azure out of the lake and called, “Clearwing! Meet our dragonet, Azure!” A pale green head poked out and Clearwing exclaimed, “Oh my! She is very pretty! Azure is a nice name choice, dear,” he turned to Seapool and nuzzled her ticklishly. 
Seapool grinned and vowed, “As long as we are here, Azure will be safe in our talons.” 
== Chapter One: Upon Bad Things at Hatching (Old Ver.): ==
=== Constellation ===
A small cracking came from their talons. They felt a jolt and heard the moons calling. If they had words, they would say, Should I come out? How can I know? They didn’t care, but they knew that the moons wanted them to come out. So they grunted and struggled to get out of this void. 
Then they felt the moon sliding on their body while they came out of the egg. 
They could also feel the souls of dead dragons, begging to have access in their body. Then, they felt a special, sad soul that didn’t get its chance to live more of its life before it died. They led it into their body, then the soul became happy. It told it information about the soul’s past life. It even explained all the rules and stuff, and something about ani-.But they were cut off by a jolt of new energies. 
They looked up, noticing two large figures looming over them. One dragon was an indigo-purple-orange and the other was black-white-blue. They felt a same but large energy of aura coming from the black-white-blue dragon. 
It must be their mother. So that means the indigo-purple-orange dragon is Father. They could feel many visions crashing that they couldn’t explain, but they were not happy visions and were more, desperately than they thought. They looked around their surroundings. The family was on a platform up high to see the sky, they could feel the moons’ powers reaching them strongly. 
They flapped their wing in an awkward way, towards their mother. Then the black-white-blue dragon picked them up. “Oh my stars! They are so beautiful! Look at their underbelly and their wings! It looks like as if the stars are making constellations! Maybe we should call them Constellation! Or maybe Galaxy or Space! What do you think, Fluorite?” She turned to their father, Fluorite. He suspiciously examined his dragonet. “We should turn them in to” he said something they didn’t understand. “Should we? Do you know about it?” 
Blackout was so full of nervous energies. “What is this? A secret organization?” She carefully asked. Fluorite let out a small growl. “You didn't know? I guess I’ll just kill you or this dragonet, so that because they don’t have powers!” He said. “But you can’t kill our only dragonet!” Blackout said. Fluorite snarled. Blackout nervously glanced at the dragonet. They could see a future when they did die and so did Blackout. “You know NightWings have powers to see the future and mind read, right? They have that mind-reading scale!” Blackout pointed at the silver teardrop next to their eyes. She took two talons of hers and held the dragonet’s chin. The moons’ light put a shiny reflecting mind-reading scale on display. 
Fluorite was thinking, then answered, “Fine, but we will have to teach this dragonet to be an assassin and all about Phyrria and Pantala so then trap them in a cave, see if they are smart enough to escape this hellish hole, then we can easily approve that they are worthy for missions and secrets.” He said “And we don’t have to kill them.” He added. 
Blackout let out a huge relieved sigh. Then Fluorite quickly added, “But we are giving it two years. Got it?” Blackout nodded quickly, hugging the dragonet. “I’m sorry, but that is for your best, ok? I love you. I hope you will be doing good in the future when we are one happy family! Think of the futures of that! I will always love you,” Backout said. Then she gave a small peck on their head and handed them over to Fluorite to learn something deadly… 
… 
=== Azure ===
She woke up to a cold thing that was covering her body. She looked around and noticed everything was blue. Wait, no. There were some colored reefs and a school of fish swimming. She must have been hatched underwater. A pale blue dragon swam up to her. She looked at her and squeaked. The dragon was glowing at her, but somehow, she knew this was related to her since she could see patterns on her and the dragon. Oh, and the wings she forgot to look at twice. 
There were spirals everywhere! She looked at her wing and it showed the same patterns. It must be important then. She thought, but she should find out sooner or later. She tried to find something better and then rose out of the water at Beetle Lake and felt a cool breeze, better than the water. She breathed in the first breeze and the dragon emerged out of the water. This dragon then immediately cried in happiness and hugged her. 
But the dragonet had no idea until this pale blue dragon spoke, “You are perfection in every scale! Look at you, dark blue with mint-colored phosphorescent scales, a color from your father! Also, you are so beautiful with those shiny scales like diamond. Although, I need to name you,” with her talons on her chin, thinking. She opened her mouth, “Maybe Azure. It’s not a bad name! I shall call you Azure! Clearwing, do you like this name?” She said. 
A pale mint green with slightly dark green on his wings approached them. “I love this dragonet. I think Azure is a good name. Maybe we should meet Fluorite. You know he is very desperate when you get angry at him for loving another dragon, three moons. I wish he didn’t do it in the first place,” he said first talking normally, then changed into a mumble. The pale blue dragon nodded, “I know, I wish I didn’t snap at him in the first place. I hope the HiveWings didn’t take Azure like they-” she hesitated, small tears forming from her eyes. “Took Kelp,” she continued. 
Clearwing nodded. Azure was full of questions like, “Who is Kelp?” Those three dragons moved their heads in the same direction. They were looking and hearing the same thing.Bzz. Bzz. Bzz. Bzz. Bzz. The blue dragon’s expression was pure terror while Clearwing was pale. A small wave of yellow and orange and black scales were clashing, coming straight to Azure. 
Azure was puzzled until the black and yellow dragon landed, barking orders at the couple to hand over Azure. “No! You can’t have her,” the pale blue dragon cried. “It is not necessary to refuse an order like this. You know that is immediately need to be followed. Take all the hybrids in Pantala and they will never be seen again. She is a hybrid and we are friendly to let you live, but we didn't let you marry Seapool, Clearwing,” he snarled. “If you violated the laws, you will never see the light again.” 
He raised his tail with something on it. It seemed like a stinger while Seapool cried, “Ok ok ok! Please don’t harm her. Let them take me!” She said. The yellow and black dragon thought for a moment. “THAT IS NOT AN OPTION! GIVE ME THE DRAGONET AND WE WILL LET YOU GO!” He snarled 
As the couple nodded to each other, Seapool amazingly moved so fast and attacked the yellow dragon’s face. He roared and covered his face with his talons, becoming blind, not seeing what was going on. Clearwing quickly grabbed Azure while Seapool flew farther and farther until they were out of sight, knowing there will be a hunting party soon. She knew, she would be captured and they will keep an eye on her closely as an abyss is settled, ready to swallow her and trap her here forever… 
== Chapter Two: ==
Constellation yawned and stretched as far as they can. They are so tired and yet, bored. Constellation finished their yawn and groaned at their eyes, blinking them irregularly. They looked around their room, which is a mere giant bramble cage heavily covered in vines of leaves. They swore they can see some berries growing here and there, but Constellation like fruits rather than meat, which juicy ones are exceptional, so they didn’t mind, as long they can eat those on the walls. Constellation called out in a woozy voice, “Mother! Can we have breakfast with those weird speckled berries and muttons?” 
Constellation waited for a moment, but there seems to be no respond. Constellation groaned and muttered, “Please don’t tell me…” They opened their huge leaf blind and stare out of the sky. The sun was hardly rising and Constellation groaned and slapped themselves in their face as they mumbled, “Stupid NightWing sleep schedule. Mother doesn’t follow it despite being part NightWing because she’s mainly an IceWing.” Constellation put down their talons and flew outside of the canopy treehouse to approach the fenced farm containing various of fruits and vegetables. At least vegetable stew exists with this garden, Constellation thought, drooling at the thought. 
They shook to freshen up and observed the growth. “Lettuces have new layers of leave, peppers smelling hot and spicy,” Constellation let out a big sniff and sighed, “bugs eating the new parsley leaf buddings—“ 
Wait, WHAT? No ONE, dares eat Constellation’s favorite vegetable! Constellation roared and swatting the bugs out, but they stayed rooted. Constellation snarled, “If only these bugs are gone in an instant!” 
Then, suddenly the bugs disappeared. 
Constellation blinked and whispered, “Did I have words of power?” They blinked and carefully said, “Let the parsley leaves grow as if the bugs have never feasted upon.” Then the parsley leaves grew taller than Constellation expected. They looked at the astonishing height and sniffed the leaves slowly. It smells fresh and not rotten like these bugs! 
Constellation stared at their talons, wondering about their strange power as a voice called, “Constellation! I thought I heard you roared!” Then Constellation’s mother, Blackout, appeared at the entrance of the farm. She sighed, “You can’t just wake up every dragon with that roar— whoa look at the height of the parsley stem! How did it get this tall?” Constellation blinked and whispered, “Mother, I saw these bugs feasting and I made them go away with my words. I think I even made the plant grow up high.” 
Blackout said, “I know this is your garden as you wanted, but you can’t make things up like these, especially if you replaced that plant,” as Constellation heard her thoughts, So does that mean I am descended from Darkstalker? And my dragonet really have the animus power? I must be lucky or it is from the nature of the Brightest Blood Night. This is very weird to see animus magic here. 
Blackout let out a small gasp as she almost clutched her head, but she handed it down immediately. She groaned, “Constellation, just be careful with your garden. I’m going to find some fish or something for breakfast.” Constellation almost protested, but she looked stressed already so they decided to keep their mouth shut. 
Constellation almost yelled out loud as a force stomped on their spiky tail and Fluorite appeared with bared teeth. 
Fluorite growled, “You must have realized that your little cute pesty garden could attract any bug like the ones I saw, or at least what I used to see.” Constellation stared at their father and snarled, “So what? If I have animus magic, wouldn’t I be the most powerful dragon in this family yet?” Constellation thought, Mother told me about the Brightest Blood Night and how I hatched under the blood moonlight. It was weird, Mother said it must be a coincidence, but what if it was destiny? Constellation can never know. 
Fluorite snorted, "If you really are an animus, you would've killed me the moment you knew." 
But that was not true! They read in their scrolls that killing a dragon with animus magic could greatly decrease that animus's soul and go crazy on rampage. Besides, Constellation didn't hate Father that much to kill. Not one, single, bit. 
Constellation snorted and went back to examining dragonfruits, carrots, and green onions. They can hear Fluorite growling behind as Constellation observed closely at the carrots' stems height outside the soil. Constellation said, “If you really hate me that much, you would’ve killed me the moment you came back when I hatched.” Fluorite snarled, “I rather have enemies getting tortured that is worse than death. If any dragon hate another, that what they will do.” And that what I might will do to you, a voice said in Fluorite. Constellation raised an eyebrow at Fluorite and snarled, “Out. Out of my garden, now.” 
Fluorite barked, “I never wanted to be in this garden either!” And quick enough, he shifted his scales and vanished as Constellation, with their sharp eyes, watched their father exited the garden gate with a swish of his tail. Constellation thought sarcastically, And he might as well eat a sea urchin. He had an attitude! I heard too many times that my existence was the reason his life was ruined! What will I do now? 
… 
Azure squealed and swatted on the shiny, bright blue frog, resting on a large paddle leaf connecting to a plant decor, which the frog flew off the leaf like a sling and crash-landed on the stone tablet containing Azure’s writings that Azure adores. The frog croaks and Azure gasped as she growled menacely, or she tried to. Her leg ankles are out of place, but she still growled, “Don’t you dare, you pretty shiny frog!” 
The frog croaks again and turns in the direction of the dragonet, leaving slimy marks on the tablets. Azure widened her eyes and snarled, “Oh you will regret that, Mr. Frog! Because I don’t eat meat but fish, I will feed you to my—” She trailed away as she realized she doesn't have any more options. 
Momma Seapool doesn’t like frogs and Papa Clearwing doesn’t eat meat. He pretty much eats honey and plants. And Azure doesn't have any pets to feed the frog too. 
Plus, that frog was pretty and adorable to even eat it. And almost the same shade as Azure, so plus one sympathy point. Azure sighed dramatically and shook her head as she approaches the frog and handed out her index talon, which the frog surprisedly got on and soon, Azure heard a tiny whisper with, a hint of croak? 
It said, I’m sorry. I didn’t know it matters a lot. 
Then an actual croak sounded as the frog brought Azure to reality and laid its front legs on higher joint of Azure’s talon, then turned away and jumped on the paddle leaf. It turned back to look at Azure and there was something in the eyes that made Azure noticed something before the frog leaped away to outside. Azure stared at the direction the frog went and sat, blankly thinking. She only has a thought, I can hear the frog? 
It seems dumb, but is it possible? She heard from the scrolls and her mother that there are special powers than the tribal ones out there in the two continents and, pretty sure enough, there wasn’t a special power for understanding animals, right? 
Azure looked again at outside and followed where it left off. Apparently, it seems to be a lake there a bit further. Azure perked closely at the strange lake behind the ferns she is hiding from. Those ferns smells great, like mint for some reason, but Azure shook her head and focused. 
Some time later in Azure’s internal clock, she can’t help waiting for the frog and just play in the water around. 
She did. She dashed out of her fern camouflage and cannonballed into the chilling water and rolled underwater, smiling, feeling content. She laughed bubbles and stood up and ran around the lake, only to suddenly bumped into something, or someone. 
A voice grunted, “Do you mind?” Azure shook her wet, scaled face and squeaked nervously as she saw the huge dragon, a HiveWing. The HiveWing have interesting scales as it’s deep scarlet red mixing into orange and bright yellow, like a volcano with black scales the shape of a claw’s curve, or in this case, a snake fang. His wings are pale blue like dragonflies and they are hard to see, but his menacing gaze did not leave Azure’s. 
Azure squeaked again and felt something as she ran away far enough to be out of sight. She paused nervously and peeked back at the HiveWing, only to stare at something on the ground with a face of interest? He picked the strange object that looked like it’s glowing and long and he said something as if speaking to himself. The HiveWing looked back at Azure’s new hiding spot and turned back to fly away with a slight buzz. 
Ok, that’s it. I’m calling him Scary and Meanie Volcano Face. That is so scary! What should I do? 
But that’s not all. There is one more thing. 
How can she tell her parents? 
== Chapter Two: The Basic of Life (Old Ver.) ==
=== Constellation ===
Come on and show yourself, dragonet!” Fluorite was shouting at Constellation. Recently, they turned invisible to do a sneak attack on Fluorite. They did that for revenge as Fluorite roared and spitted venom everywhere, probably trying to attack Constellation. But Constellation had high agility so it was easy to dodge all the venom. Constellation flew to their father’s back and exhaled a ball of galaxy breath, an unusual power Fluorite hasn’t found out. Actually, all powers they had, their father didn’t know, except the mind-reading power, but Fluorite kept forgetting to shield his mind from them. He roared in pain and spit some venom in the direction where Constellation was. They dodged, (TOO easy) and spit a large amount of venom back on their father’s back. He roared again and crouched, gasping for breath from roaring. 
Constellation turned themselves visible and said smoothly, “Father. Your skill is too weak beyond mine. Your power is too weak against me. You don’t even like me at all, even if I’m part of your family. So I already got my revenge, PLENTY times before I became just three months. You are the pathetic one, not me,” they said, raising their chin, declaring and strong. Constellation became one, just a month ago, and yet they are already so smart in every possible way. Fluorite got up, collapsed and rised again, growling, “Oh, hehehe. You think so? I gave you two years to live your life normal, and still, you wanted to kill me. I gaveyou a chance. I gave you a life. I gave you peace, as long as you let me teach you how to be an assassin and kill off my enemies. Oh wait, you already are. Look, this sparkly thing is spreading and probably will get me killed in a day or two,” He said as he turned his neck to the galaxy breath on his back as it was spreading in his bloodline, making veins visible with the image of the outer space on his body. 
Constellation chuckled. “I can accept the offer, but I’m afraid I can’t keep the promise of becoming an assassin, as you threatened Mother to do that,” They said. They turned to the direction where their mother was, the wooden house. “Besides, you won’t even help give me a name either. Look at what I adapted in Pantala. I have these,” Constellation added darkly, as they pointed at the HiveWing’s snout and temple, and continued, “and these antennas. Also, I am sure all of my abilities are more quick and more powerful than the average ones. Like, I know I will have these silk glands at the age of one, but they are weaker because it was fast and it didn’t develop that well. No LeafWing parts, except I have limited leafspeak, but powerful enough to make another, but bigger house then ours,” They said as they pointed with the antennas at the house. 
Fluorite snorted and tried to remove the galaxy breath, but accidentally clawed himself and winced. He growled, and spit the same amount of venom at the same spot where Constellation hits. It stops sizzling and he flicked his tail at Constellation, as the tail whacked at Constellation’s underbelly, he went inside the house to get some bandages for the wounds. 
Constellation didn’t even care about Father, since it was Fluorite that caused the problem. They went inside the house as well, just to meet Blackout, their mother because she was so nice and tried to stand up for Constellation multiple times against Fluorite. Constellation also keep feeling similar aura from Mother, anxious and worries, but not for being founded, it was mostly about Constellation. One of the mysteries they couldn’t solve. Constellation, of course, tried to comfort Mother, but it was worsen. They could hear her mind repeating, it is my fault that I hatched them and now they will be gone to ——————————. I learned this place more later and I realized, it is too dangerous and lonely for them. What should I do now? And sometimes she weeps, sometimes she walked to her room at midday when she is upset. Am I unworthy and not that powerful than Mother think? Maybe I’m going somewhere where I probably never see my parents. That what Mother might be worried about, Constellation thought. 
They looked into visions upon visions upon visions. Yes, they will be trapped somewhere, detail-less and texture-less, they assured. Constellation walked to the area where the family goes outside to hunt and bring food to this big box for food storage. Constellation flew out to hunt, and while closing their eyes, they thought, Everything will be fine, right? 
Constellation spotted a family of three deer. They felt a squeezing feeling about the family, and they knew, if they took and kill the baby’s parents, it might feels the same way if a mysterious dragon kill Constellation’s parents, they would get revenge. So Constellation ignore the family and killed a bear and a mountain cat, the most largest than average. Then, Constellation's ears perked up. Their antennas is twitching. They knows, something bad happened at their home. Constellation turned invisible and flies back home. They went to the top platform and looked at what happening. A HiveWing; a SilkWing; and a LeafWing was at the main door of their house. A LeafWing, turns out to be, named Redwood with faded red on the edge of the wings, underbelly, spine, and his leaf tail is completely red. All Constellation knows is, it not a red dye. Constellation remembered a scroll explaining unusual features dragons are born with. This scroll even mentioned about that dragon. 
A HiveWing named Stinger flicked her tail to a SilkWing named Bronze as he fluttered his wings as he knocked the ancient leaf-green wooden door. Fluorite grumpily opened the door as he said, “What?” Then reddish-green vines burst out of Fluorite’s feet and choked him as Redwood growled, “Tell me, where are they?” Fluorite choked out a sentence, "Who's they?" 
Before he passed out, Redwood grabbed something in his pouch and pulled out a small vine of leaves. Constellation knows this plant. It was used to keep their prisoners stay conscious when they are about to pass out. Redwood crushed all the leaves, but not the vine (probably for regrowing to use it again) and Fluorite gasped for air. Redwood repeated, "WHERE ARE THEY!?" Fluorite roared, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY?" He cough for air, but makes it worse. The plant tightens and he gasped once again. 
"YOUR DRAGONET!" Redwood was now furious and outraged. Fluorite said, "We have one dragonet, a-and four more due to hatch at m-midnight. I couldn't recall which dragonet you are looking for." Constellation manage to not hiss. Father knows that Constellation’s was who they want. They wondered why, but it feels, strangely, that Fluorite was trying to protect them. 
Bronze rolled his eyes and Stinger growled at Bronze for being disrespectful and being disappointing, like the original HiveWings’ behavior toward the SilkWings 20 years ago. Bronze spoke, “We need to find an unusual dragonet at around a year old and we know that you have them.” 
Fluorite stare for a moment, then said, “You’ll have to loosen the vines on my neck and I’ll tell you.” Stinger hissed and Redwood nodded, saying, “Very well. Plant, loosen him, just a bit to let him breathe normal, but wrap him a bit more to make sure he didn’t trick us.” The plant loosened and wrapped Fluorite more, as Redwood instructed. Bronze said calmly, “Now, tell us.” 
Fluorite said, “They went to hunting, so they’ll be back anytime.” 
Stinger broke out with a furious roar. He raise his tail’s stinger, which is three times bigger than average stingers from HiveWings. Assuming, the stinger would or could be even three times painful. Fluorite made a face and said, “But, they’ll be back so soon. You can have them. I don’t want THEM! Go and find them, because now it is possible that they are camouflaged, spying on us,” and turned to the direction where it is too near to Constellation. Constellation held their breath quickly, trying not to be spotted. Bronze suspiciously looked at the direction their father was pointing at. 
Constellation closed their eyes and mumbled a prayer to not be founded, but surprisingly, Bronze shrugged and said, "Come on. There is no one there. We will search the trees nearly and focused so we can find them." Redwood and Stinger looked at each other in confusion and Stinger said, "BUT, I think I can see a color different from the trees. It isn't supposed to be that color purple in the woods." Constellation jumped a little, realizing the tail is faded purple. They quickly change to camouflage before Stinger figures out. But, to their horror, Stinger said, "That must be your child. COME ON OUT, YOU PATHETIC DRAGONET!" 
Constellation was so in rage that they are called 'pathetic' and turned to their usual color and spit venom on Stinger's tail as he roared. Stinger hissed and said, "You, wretched creature! YOU MONSTER!" He growled and winced at the pain on his most powerful tail. But he added, darkly, "At least, I HAVE ACID!" He jolted after Constellation with his bared fangs, followed by Redwood with seeds to plant carnivorous plants that can go after them and giant bugs swarming near him as Bronze stayed, watching Fluorite and watching the battle.
Blackout came out, noticing Constellation and Fluorite and whispered, "What is going on?" Fluorite growled, "They trapped me with this, hideous plant until I suffocate and escape as those two dragons chase them to stop them. I told you they could be evil!" Blackout whimpered and tears started to break down. She said, "How can I find them when they disappear in the woods. I wanted to take them to Phyrria. They must know and learn their own ancestors' home. Mine and yours. WE must find them," and Blackout flew to the direction where Constellation is going. 
Then Blackout founded them, as there was a dead HiveWing laying in the patch of the grass. She gasped, and Constellation jerked to their mother. And they said, "Mother, I am not a monster. They are, they are trying to take me away from you. Believe me, I am not a monster," as Constellation chuckled softly, raised their talons, which are covered in blood. Their face strained for a moment, then turned back to normal as Blackout took a step backward. "Mother, I swear I wouldn't kill you, or the eggs. I PROMISED YOU!" Then Constellation leaped, but quickly got stunned by Redwood with a scorpion on his talons. He said, "I'll take them, thank you." He followed Blackout to their home with Constellation unconscious and dragged. 
Constellation was still unconscious as Redwood said, "You should go visit Phyrria. I think it is for your dragonet's best." But Blackout's eyes widened as she whispered, "How can I know it is for Constellation's best?" Redwood mumbled, "Your husband says so about strengthening your dragonet once you arrive to Phyrria. How long ever since you touched Phyrria before living here?" Blackout hesitated. She mused, "Around three to four years, I think." Redwood sincerely said, "Then, you must go." 
== Chapter Two 1/2: Be Hidden, Be Secret, Be Safe (Old Ver.) ==
=== Azure ===
Azure has been told in her last two years of her life as rules. She tried to protest, but always ended up hushed when they heard a single buzz, even that is not a HiveWing but a regular bee. 
== Chapter Three ==
Constellation snorted on a grassy nest in the living room and stared at Fluorite snarling at Blackout, as if the dragonet was never here! 
Fluorite barked, “How can you defend Constellation if they are dangerous? They have powerful abilities that is too strong for us! They could be uncontrollable and get us killed!” Blackout cried, “But they know what they’re doing! I will give up my life to make sure Constellation doesn’t become evil!” 
Constellation looked at their father and then their mother and back and forth. This is getting boring and irritating, Constellation thought in annoyance. Besides, what is wrong with great control of magic? Constellation can never be evil if they know how to use it wisely. 
Even Mother explained how back in the past, over two thousand years ago, how IceWing animus plan for a long time to give the tribe a special gift and never use it again. But then, the NightWings “stole” that power just because the last animus was in love and killed off by his son, Darkstalker. Constellation had a thought, But that animus bloodline runs in the IceWing royal family, so why are there no more animus dragons if the royal family is still here? The future NightWing animus must had enchanted the royal family to never have magic, not even in the next line of the royal family, which makes sense a lot. 
A loud knock on the strong branch main door, covered in thick vines, sounded, but it hurts Constellation’s ears because that was loud. Constellation ran to the door and opened to see a SeaWing in a mysterious cloak. He looks thin as if he has been starving, but he just grunted, “Hey! Where’s your parents?” 
Shortly enough, a sharp grab on Constellation’s shoulder pushed the dragonet away as Fluorite growled at the SeaWing, “Hello. It seems as if you have something I want.” 
He roared at Constellation, “Run away! This business is only for us. Scram!” Constellation looked at their Father in confusion and a hint of anger, but they just snorted and walked away. Instead of going to their room, they simply stopped behind a wall to stay quiet. They peeked very slowly to see the SeaWings going back into muttering, which proves that they believed Constellation left. Constellation shifted their scales and become invisible and came back quietly to watch what is up, because the behavior seems suspicious. 
They had no problem of hearing quiet voices because of their skilled hearing. The thin SeaWing spoke silkily that made Constellation felt like shuddering as he murmured, “Hello, dear Brother Fluorite. I see that this dragonet of yours…for something.” Fluorite growled, “As if you will take them without my acknowledgment and become powerful without me. Besides, perfect for that? I may want to heighten that offering if you want this dragonet. Say… an animus object that allows any dragon touching it be an animus. Then it would be very valuable as the animus itself.” 
The SeaWing was quiet for a moment or two before continuing, “Well, Fluorite, it would be beneficial for us if…the Kingdom of The Sea will dominate the world if we do this precisely and be successful, that is.” 
Constellation widened their eyes as Fluorite thought to himself, If that dragonet comes with us, we will rule the world by harnessing that power. Surely no way they want to use Constellation as their animus toy to overpower dragons, don’t they? Fluorite growled, “Well, this much of a power might be very… pricey as there are probably less than ten of them in Pantala and Phyrria altogether. So it is very valuable. Pay higher, Lionfish,” he barked. 
Constellation raised an eyebrow. Lionfish? It’s either a hybrid or just only a prickly SeaWing. Either way, he might be as powerful than he looks. The SeaWing rattled and hissed at Fluorite, “Poor you, Fluorite. Don’t you want this dragonet off your talons? Be yourself for once?” 
Constellation widened their eyes at the sudden change of Lionfish’s voice. They gasped quietly and hesitated before peeking again, only to see his sharp and unusual yellow eyes in his hooded, dark face, staring straight at them like a cougar. Constellation froze in terror for a second before nearly dodging a bullet of venom through their face by a few painful plops on their cheek. They snarled and clenched their burning cheek. 
A figure loomed over Constellation’s now dizzy and blurring vision, it was Fluorite as he slowly snarled, “How dare you to watch us. You never earned a place here, you hear me dragonet?” Lionfish approaches the duo and he flexed his sharp, webbed claws to grasp at Constellation’s neck as he warbled, “You’re coming with me.” 
Constellation thought to themselves, Three moons he’s stronger than he looks! I can’t believe I’m being used… am I smell burning ice of some kind or something? 
The trio instantly perked at the strange whistling sound that gets louder. Soon, a huge ball of energy crashed straight into Lionfish’s face and flinging the cloak out, following with a loud shriek of pain as he collapsed by a sudden dashing attack from Blackout. 
Blackout roared directly at Lionfish’s injured face on the floor. She suddenly coughed and wheezed as she too collapsed, clenching her head tight and groaning. Blackout’s thoughts screamed, Fight the pain! You can’t die! You have to protect Constellation with your life! Constellation gasped and blinked in silence. Did Mother really risked her head with that breath for them? She must has loved Constellation this deeply to lose her life. 
Constellation snorted and growled as they thought, Move Mother over. I don’t want her to get herself hurt. Relieve her head too. Blackout gave out a gasp as she stopped clenching and magically flew herself back away from Lionfish. Constellation approached Lionfish menancing as possible as they growled, “Lionfish, you have no rights to harass me or my mother, ever.” They turned to Fluorite with a stone cold gaze, “And that means you too, Fluorite.” Fluorite widened his eyes and snarled as Constellation looked at Lionfish once again, “I will come with you on one condition and that is to never come here again.” 
… 
Azure was on her pool bed, a rocky floor with a hole big enough to accommodate one dragon, Azure. It was decorated with corals around here and there and sea plants hanging around her cave along with a miniature aquarium filled with her favorite pets, sea snails and some pretty fish. Even surprisedly, that shiny blue frog came back, so Azure wanted to adopt it and named it Sapphire. Seems like a boring or common name, but I liked it, Azure thought to herself. 
She sighed dramatically to her frog, sitting on a hanging ceiling rock with a small hole tied to strong vines above the small sky hole and a bigger hole in the middle as Sapphire’s home as she murmured, “I’m bored, Sapphire. If you had any idea of what to do, I would be glad to be hearing them.” 
The frog looked at Azure quizzically and croaked, You could try drawing? You can write, then you can draw. Azure blinked and said, “I guess I could try that. Thanks for telling me, Sapphire.” The frog blinked and retreated inside the rock home. 
Azure has recently found out she can speak to animals after testing that theory out to her aqua pets she got after a moon of her first encounter with Sapphire. It wasn’t pretty though, in Azure’s opinion. But it still was fun because that was cool, isn’t it? She scrambled and leaped out of the bed with splatter of water on her floor as she took some waterproof scrolls. She searched for a bottle of ink and her favorite goat’s horn, which has a hole on the inside with a chipped tip on the end to expel ink, which was a good writing utensil if it wasn’t constantly leaking without a cap. 
Azure couldn’t find anything, not even a single hint of writing materials but the scrolls. She stared at the frog now outside, but it said, I don’t know either. She sighed in defeat, but she should ask her parents if they can spare for them. She rushed outside the room while shouting, “Wait for me, Sapphire!” 
Azure panted as she found both of her parents, Clearwing and Seapool as she shouted, “Momma, Pappa! I need…” before she trailed away as she noticed something unusual. They look like they were speaking with someone at the front door. Azure gasped and pressed herself against a wall that cover her and she peeked to see a HiveWing so achingly familiar. 
It is now a secret mission! Objective, find out what is going on. 
Azure looked left to right for more hiding spot, and found one, ooh lalala, a small climbing parkour is coming up! Luckily, she is a good climber. Even better, the wall she is hiding at reaches the ceiling, so they probably wouldn’t notice her! The intercepting wall has a hole connecting two walls into a perpendicular angle, so Azure looked for some nubs to climb on and perk out of the hole to listen the conversation. 
She strained by pulling her ears, not physically though that would hurts, to hear the HiveWing hissed, “Listen here, you two. This blue dragonet has something valuable that will help our economy so much. Her prints leads to here, so you must be her parents.” 
Seapool gasped, “But this dragonet can’t be ours!” Clearwing interfered, “And you, Bulletclaw, have no rights to be talking threats, nor even be in our property!” 
Bulletclaw narrowed his eyes as he slithered, “Well, one thing, we have permits per our society and secondly, you knew me well as I knew you, Clearwing. Lastly, I will make sure that you will regret turning in the blue dragonet.” 
He bared his teeth as he snapped his fingers. 
A while, the parents perked their ears, so did Azure, as they heard buzzing that gets closer and closer. Soon enough, a shadow casts over the house as two groups of HiveWings landed on the entrance. The HiveWing leader smirked, “Either we pay you handsomely or face the stingers and the acids that will fatally injure you…maybe killed.” Azure gasped quietly as Seapool flexed her claws nervously. 
The first group walked with a rag filled with lot of treasure Azure has ever seen in scrolls! The second group stood higher, some raising their tails and others sharpening claws. It sounds easy to pick the treasure group rather than the killing one, but are my parents willing to give me up that easily? Azure thought nervously. 
But to her surprise, Clearwing proposed, “How about this, Bulletclaw. We will hold this for half a year, six moons at most to decide our offer.” Bulletclaw quickly snarled, “Make it three moons, and fast.” Clearwing blinked nervously and sighed as Seapool nodded in sorrow. Bulletclaw looks satisfied with the answer and hissed, “Very well. HiveWings! Depart back to the Hive!” The HiveWing groups looked confused, but they followed their leader instead and departed in a flash. 
As soon as the HiveWings disappeared, Azure dashed out of the hole and cried as she hugged her surprised parents and whimpered, “Will I be taken away in three moons?” 
Clearwing gasped, “Azure! You shouldn’t be seeing this at all!” Seapool sighed, “But at least it won’t be that hard to explain. Azure, we can’t all die if we refuse.” Clearwing added positively as possible, “But if you did go, please look for Kelp for us.” 
Azure stopped hugging and blinked, “Kelp? Isn’t that my older brother who got taken away by the Anti-Hybrid HiveWing Society? Those HiveWings earlier, is that them?” Seapool hesitated as she sighed, “Yes, baby gem, that is them.” 
Azure stayed quiet, thinking, Will I finally get to see my long lost brother? I want to see him, so should I go? 
She looked at her worried parents and finally realized, They lost a dragonet. They can’t lose another and last one, me. But if I found Kelp and escape the HiveWings, won’t they be happy to finally be together, all four of us? It was a good goal, but maybe hard to escape. Azure has to find a way. But she knows, for certain, that she has to find Kelp, if it means to be happy. 
She looked at both of her parents and said, “I will go and find Kelp if he means anything to you! Let me go find him!” 
== Chapter Three: First Day as Subjects (Old Ver.) ==
=== Constellation ===
Hiss! Constellation snarled at the red dragon. A teal dragon loomed next to them. They hissed at him as he was holding what seems to be a handcuff. Then a white dragon walked up to Constellation with a metal band, hissed back at Constellation when they hissed. He put the band around their neck, muttering curses and fly away. They could hear clinking and roaring. They assumed Termite and Snowstorm were arguing. Constellation chuckled, knowing they deserve it after what they did to Constellation. They looked around their surroundings. All they can see is rocks, rocks, and more rocks. Assuming something, they are in a cave. 
They thought quickly and smoothly, do you know where are we, P———e? A respond came almost immediately, No, but- I am- having- a problem- communicating- to you. 
Huh. This cave also blocked telepathic waves, even if someone was in your body? Not cool. They needed to get out. Then Snowstorm came with another, but smaller band and a chain, clashing horribly loud. Constellation winced as he connected the chains to their neck. Before he reached to Constellation’s snout to put the band, they attacked with their venom and it landed on the IceWing’s left side of his sky blue underbelly. 
He roared in pain, slashing at the air. The red dragon blasted a stinging pain ball of flame at them. Constellation winced as the flame almost spread to their wing. She snarled at them. “Attack one more and it will be your funeral,” she said. Constellation stared hard, then closed their eyes, looking away. “Good, now be quiet” She grabbed the band and snapped it shut before giving the warning that it is painful. “SWAMP! GET THE TRACKING DEVICE!” Rusty yelled. An echo as loud as howler monkeys erupted and loud footsteps was getting nearer and nearer until he ended up next to Constellation. 
His eyes was amber-yellow, which was unusual for them as he clamp a bracelet on Constellation’s right arm. He grunted, “It is for you to not try any escape way that will tell the entire continent to arrest us. That wouldn’t likely to happen” Constellation waited until it is all set up. Their neck and snout are banded, including the chain on their neck to the ground to stay in place. Their bracelet is a tracking device to not get lost, but mostly so they can’t escape. Three moons and galaxies, this is their first day and they are already annoyed by Snowstorm, Swamp, Rusty, Termite, and a SeaWing they hasn’t met. Actually, remove the SeaWing from the list. They hasn’t met him, but they could tell he was trying to help. Suspicious. 
They looked around, putting the details on where they are. Stone, stone, stone, and more stone. They are not that surprised to see a giant rock, - probably to block Constellation possible escape ways - laid there as well as Constellation is. There was a sky hole big enough for Constellation, but too tight for the kidnappers. It must be a trap, since it looked too easy to escape. Then, the SeaWing came. 
It looked a bit drooping or it was being gloomy. But more weirder is, it was wearing a cloak that covered the entire body. It must be so mysterious to reveal itself as Constellation mentioned. Now that they can see the muscles and the body shape, they assumes it a male and more thinner than the average SeaWings. 
His gills flared, even if Constellation can’t see it, they can tell because of the anger waves from him. He creeps and gave an eternal cold stare, which gives Constellation some heebies-jeebies, a feeling as if he knows Constellation. They glared back and the SeaWing flinched, then growled and went to a cave, where Termite and Snowstorm is in. Then Rusty snarled, “Now, you will, today, learn how to pretend you are innocent and do what the dragons normally do, which is,” she chuckled. Rusty continued, “Just as loving and sweet, because you are,” the first part she said was a bit too childish until the last words of ‘because you are’ was growl. 
She handed out her talons. She demanded, “Now tell yourself if you can make my talons turn into stone” Ooo. Constellation just have a perfect image of Rusty’s talons being heavy by the weight of the stone and the stone falls, shattered to pieces along with the talons and she howled in pain. Perfect idea of a torture for what they deserve. So Constellation spoke, “I enchant Rusty’s talons to turn to stone,” while as they thought, all of the talons and not just an arm and make the stone very heavy so it can be shattered to pieces so Rusty can feel pain for what she deserves from that ball of flames she attacked me earlier. Rusty’s both arms turn to stone and she was shocked. She hissed at her arms and roared in pain as the stone became heavy and shatters to pieces and Termite quickly came and help Rusty. He glared at Constellation and take her to a cave with a sign that said “Healing Cave”. Constellation saw the expression of regret and fury on Rusty as she entered the cave, being armless now. 
After a while, Termite came back with Rusty, being wrapped in bandages all over her chest to prevent the bleeding. “Pathetic dragonet,” she spatted at them. Constellation stand, and spread their wings to full, widen wingspan. Rusty immediately rushed toward them and knocked them out of reach as Constellation stumbled for balance as she said, “You should never trust anyone but us. You must meet every dragons and deceive, trick them to our trap. You understand? I don’t even wanted to see your face as long as possible, so you will go outside, try your power or fool dragon by, your stunning body and kill them. You must bring the body or tell it to teleport to us and show proof. But, we have a scanner that can tells if the body real or fake, so don’t even try to trick us either” 
She snorted a small smoke of flame off her snout and walked away to lean on Termite for help. Constellation was thinking, if they should kill for them, or escape while they can. But their wrist. It was a tracking device, so no escape. They tried break it when the dragons are distracted, but it is too strong. So, maybe they should do what the dragons want and they would, could escape by killing them. Their first mission is about to start, and there no way to stop it. 
… 
=== Azure ===
She first opened her eyes, peeking on what about to happen. The cage she was in dropped and made a loud clang that makes Azure winced to the pain of the sounds. Her ears are very sensitive, so it is more painful that felt like her ears is about to bleed. The cage had cold stone floors and she was chained up on her legs and neck. 
A red HiveWing came in with a cauldron. “Silk. In. Now,” the HiveWing snarled. This happened every few hours, the HiveWings taking all different types of Watersilks she had. By the end of the day, she would be exhausted. Azure handed out her talons and took a deep breath, then a liquid-sky blue silk came out of her wrists. The HiveWing grinned darkly at the burning type of silk. 
”Queen Jewel will love this,” he smirked. Queen Jewel? I thought she wanted to help me! Azure thought, surprised. Queen Jewel said she will let Azure out, but she wanted her to be her tool, her weapon, she had heard her in her sleep. Why?... Maybe it was just a dream. 
Azure was looking around in her cage, then she shudder as she saw the bones of other dragon that been here. She put her claws at the wall, looking for a way out. Talonsteps, someone was coming, she quickly got ready and sat down. It was Queen Jewel, with an evil smile on her face. 
“Azure, Azure…” Queen Jewel said, tapping along the floor. “You think I would have let you out?” She said as she chuckled darkly. Azure shook in fear and shouted, “NO! I would never!” Then Queen Jewel look at Azure in the eye. “Look at the powers you have,” Queen Jewel said smoothly with an unknown look in her eyes. “All. The. Powers. You. Could. Give. Me,” she said, snarling and full of anger. This is not you. You promised. Azure thought, stepping back. 
”Good thing you can never leave..” Jewel said, looking at her claws. T-that’s not true, I could! And I will! She thought, still scared. After Jewel left more HiveWings came in with more cauldrons. She sighed as she got more Watersilk out. 
Hours passed, more HiveWings, more wasted Silk, and no company. Azure wimpered as she curled and uncurled her antennas. She last eaten a few days ago. 
== Chapter 4: ==
Constellation blinked into the evening’s light outside at their animal farm. They sighed at the lying pregnant sheep, Petunia. Constellation recalled that Petunia has been pregnant for nearly five moons, which is very soon. But then, Constellation will be gone before Petunia can even give birth to how many sheep there will be. They snorted. It was even more disappointing that Lionfish has to pick them up instead of anyone else. 
They growled at the look of challenge in those two goats’ eyes. The goats started running and Constellation ran into the middle of the goats only to get rammed in both sides, painfully. They sighed annoyedly as they thought, Goats, you should stop fighting before I decide to pick you both first for dinner. The goats stopped huffing and shaking their horns as they stared at Constellation, detecting fear in their strange pupils. 
Constellation sniffed as they growled, “That’s right, Groove and Hooves, you will be eaten if you keep doing that.” Groove and Hooves sounds like dumb names, but what are there left if there’s not much names similar to goats? The goats quietly snort and stomped before departing. 
A voice said, “Enjoying their aggressive attitude?” Constellation widened their eyes and quickly turn around with defense up, growling, but it’s Fluorite. Fluorite looked smug, and soon Constellation realized that if they go, Fluorite would most likely to rampage on the farms Constellation made, especially the animal one since it’s made from animus magic. 
Constellation scrunched their muzzle as they hissed, “Well, I won’t allow you to destroy my farms. Ever.” They thought, Make sure the farms I made will stay strong and stay the same once I come back, with bigger growth and to never let Fluorite in. Let Mother know with a message to care my farm with respect. 
Constellation stared at Fluorite’s face and knew that Fluorite knew Constellation had casted a spell once again. Especially more than once in a day. Constellation snorted, “Let that aside. I rather enchant you to be nicer rather than worse.” Fluorite growled, “You’re going somewhere you might can never come back. Not even animus magic itself can do.” Constellation narrowed their eyes. Clueless Father, never knew how much he has implied that there might be some kind of animus-touched object and that Fluorite was involved of this, of course. 
Constellation rolled their eyes and noticed Lionfish arriving. They snarled to themselves, “Here goes that jerky face.” 
In a flash, a dragon tackled them as Constellation roared, but realized that this dragon was a brown MudWing with unusual yellow eyes. So, Lionfish brought a guest, how charming, Constellation thought sarcastically, being pinned. Before they reacted, the MudWing pushed a clamp around Constellation’s neck with such great force that could break ten scavengers, no, humans’ bones. They yelled, “Hey, mudface! That hurts a lot! Seriously, you never had dragonets or what?” The MudWing growled as he took out a chain from his wing bag and connect it to Constellation’s neck clamp.

Mheh. Seems sounds about right, but my siblings loves it. So, since I’m the queen and the bigwing, I should like it too as well. 
-Queen Moorhen
This story is so good! Maybe Sunny would love it! Besides these dragons knows about the Jade Academy, where Sunny is so maybe they are currently students in there! Wish them luck to their future! Actually, I remember seeing Azure in my stronghold as a hybrid healer. Thank you, Azure for taking care of my dragons! Make sure to take care of yourself! 
-Queen Thorn
Hmm, maybe the firescales and all of my subjects should read this story if they love scrolls about adventure or romance or tragedy, so I would say, I believed this story was real and maybe all of the SkyWings, including me, are required to read this to know that the future may be good or bad. Like I heard firescales are used to be kidnapped by the StoneWings and this true story is so similar. So, congrats on living those rough times to a better time of peace.
-Queen Ruby
I loved this story so much! Maybe I can get these scrolls and write down the copies and make one of the required readings at school! If anyone dared to claim this story as theirs, I WILL MERCILESSLY RIP OUT THEIR TEETH AND THEN RIP THEIR EYES AND SHOVE IT TO THEIR THROAT TO CHOKE ON AND RIP OUT THEIR CARCASS TOO. So they can learn their lessons to not steal. Too bad it might not going to be seen at the entire Phyrria. Oh! I wish it will be the top and trending story too!
-Queen Coral
This is such an amazing and heartbreaking story too! Forgot to add this message also. Seriously, if you dare steal, I will personally do that thing. Let me repeat what I said. I. WILL. PERSONALLY. RIP. OUT. YOUR. EYEBALLS. AND SHOVE THEM DOWN YOUR THROAT. SO. YOU. CAN. SEE. ME. TEAR. YOUR. CARCASS. APART. IF. YOU. DO.
-Queen Coral’s second message
Wow. I remembered Moonwhisper, of course I did remember her! Besides, she’s my subject and I know these things happened. I was part of it and maybe Jambu, oh and Kinkajou would love to read this story too. YAWN, those things already happened around six months ago, I assumed. But still, what these story says, it is a hundred percent true, I guarantee it.
-Queen Glory (for RainWings)
Ughhh. Is this story too important? I have my kingdom to deal with. But, Constellation and Blackout are part IceWing, so maybe I should care about that? You know what, I should. All I know is, Blackout is the offspring of my loyal general and a male NightWing seer. So, I actually, strangely like this true story. The best experience story I ever read, I think. 
-Queen Snowfall
Um, I think I should give this message for the NightWings too. So, for the NightWings, I should say that was impressive. Sorry, I don’t have anything to say for the NightWings, actually. Oh, wait, I think I got one. Moonwhisper and Constellation, if you read this message, I would say, I’m impressive with their skills and agility and maybe their personalities, but mostly the first twos. 
-Queen Glory (for NightWings) 
Oh-ho-ho-ho, I can't believe Azure blames me for keeping her there! She is very sparkling and pretty and has cool powers I have never seen. Of course I lied about getting her out, but I couldn't trust her to be out like this and I want her power for something special, so I kinda lost my cool for Azure's life and, well, I really do like her, so I sometimes let the dragons see her, but not all the time. I don't want anyone claiming my perfection as theirs. *SNORT* 
-Queen Jewel 
I am a bit, surprised by this second chapter when Constellation didn't have a single LeafWing's appearance. By more chapters read by, I realized she has very limited leafspeak power as they kill a little more dragons after a few days. 
-Queen Sequoia 
I like the concept of dragons… and breakups. 
- Queen Glacier 
Do you take constructive criticism?
