== Chapter 1 ==
My scales were glowing. Literally. They were basically saying ‘Dolphin,we’re so excited!’. 
I could agree with them. This was exciting! My older sister,Seagull,walked by me. 
“Why are your scales glowing? You know Mother said to not do that. It looks bad when the other tribes come and see…that. Dim those down or stop glowing.” Seagull said. She never raised her voice,never yelled,and always spoke politely. 
I sometimes yelled or raised my voice. I tried to dim my scales. Today was The Day. That meant I would be meeting all the other tribe’s queens. I had only met two queens: Queen Bubble and Queen Softshell. Queen Bubble was my mother,so of course I knew her. Queen Softshell was the MudWing queen; she came to our kingdom seeking a promise. Mother accepted the promise. Seagull tapped me AGAIN. 
“What are you going to offer to the queens?” She asked me. I froze. Was I supposed to do that? 
“Offer what?” I asked back,trying to sound funny. Seagull did not think it was funny. 
“You aren’t offering anything? Quick;go to your room and grab something for each queen.” I nodded, and dashed away. 
When I reached my gigantic room(which was more like a little house for me),I grabbed a bunch of seashells I found. I quickly added coral or sea glass on each one. A brown piece of coral for the MudWings,a bright pink piece of coral for the RainWings,a gray piece of sea glass for the NightWings,dusty yellow coral for SandWings,green sea glass for the LeafWings,silver-white sea glass for the IceWings,orange coral for the HiveWings,Red sea glass for the SkyWing tribe,and whatever color I had left for SilkWings. I also grabbed two pearls,one for each newly discovered or created tribe. MythWings and GlowWings,I remembered. When I was done,I rushed back to Seagull. 
“I have it! For the queens! I have something to offer for each one!” I panted,showing my sister the seashells. All the queens suddenly came into my sight. 
We were in the Peace Room,which was the largest room in the palace. By the moons, were the queens majestic. As they all took a seat,Seagull and I walked together,giving each queen(except Queen Bubble) an offering. Seagull got the craziest things. She had everything that represented each tribe,and gave them to every queen. Each queen got twelve,one for each tribe. What a show off. I thought. My seashells were dumb next to her gifts. 
We both got the same answers from the queens. “So nice,thank you!” “I love it,thank you.” “This is very pretty!” And “This is very nice of you,Princess Seagull/Dolphin.” The saaaaame things. 
Queen Softshell started speaking. “I am happy to say,” she said. “That my tribe has not been at war for a very long time. That must be changed eventually. Pyrrhia and Pantala cannot be all peaceful. There must be conflict at times. Now,I am not starting any conflict right now. I am just saying that we should have conflict. That is all.” I was extremely tempted to bite her tail off. My brain was basically screaming How dare you! We NEED peace! It’s perfectly fine right now! 
Queen Hibiscus went next. “The RainWings are good. We haven't fought with the NightWings or other tribes for at least a year. We are starting to use our venom and camouflage in battle,but mostly our venom.” 
Queen Wishgranter cleared her throat. “NightWings are doing nicely at the moment. We are having more dragonets with powers. As you may know,I myself am a mind-reader. I have Skyfire with me all the time, so I don’t read minds unless I have to. So…my tribe is happy.” I yawned. Bor-inggggg. 
Queen Gila and Queen Shiver spoke together. “Our tribes are both relieved to be done with our little argument,” Shiver said. “The IceWings are trying to learn the history behind some of our animus gifts. Some of us are also interested in giving us animus dragons again.” 
Queen Gila nodded. “The SandWings have been looking for new ways to cure dragons who got hit with our tails. So far,we’ve found nothing. But we will keep looking!” 
I zoned out when the rest of the queens went. Seagull politely listened,because of course she did. I was mad that I didn’t listen,but,hey,if you’re bored,you’re bored. I thought about me becoming queen. Would I be a good queen? Can I even imagine being called ‘Queen Dolphin’? Is Seagull a better fit for the SeaWing throne? How good would she be as a queen? If I got the throne,what would she do? Who do the SeaWings like better: Me or her? Could it be ‘Queen Seagull’ instead of me? Why would she be better? One of the queens was talking. 
“So I wanted to ask you,would you mind sending Princess Dolphin,” I popped my head up. Queen Ladybug continued. “On this journey? It will be a little dangerous, but I believe she will do fine.” What journey? I asked my brain. I don’t know! It replied back. Mother nodded. 
“When is she needed? I  need to ask.” She asked Queen Ladybug. The HiveWing thought for a moment. 
“As soon as possible. So…today?” She said, while I hissed. Queen Bubble nodded. 
“Dolphin, you will be going with Queen Ladybug. Get all your essentials,alright?” I growled. Of course,I had to obey her. She was my mother. My queen. The things I had to bring were: some jewelry, a magic bowl that was a newish gift of animus magic,a bunch of scrolls, a few healing herbs(in case of any injuries,of course),and anything else that I needed to survive on Pyrrhia. 
“Wait,” I muttered to myself. “What if I’m going to Pantala?” I grabbed some seeds for trees and a few empty jars in case I brought silk back. I ran back to Queen Ladybug. Seagull and Mother said goodbye. Of course,Seagull looked happy,and she ruined the whole ‘’We will miss you!’’ vibe. I flew away with the HiveWing queen. Looking down at the ground,I stared at the palace,which was getting smaller and smaller. Finally,it was gone. “Goodbye,my home.” I dimly flashed in Aquatic. 
“Princess Dolphin,would you like to know more about the journey? I could tell you were zoned out during the queen conference.” Queen Ladybug asked me. I nodded. She kept flying. I could tell that she was about to do a loooooooong explanation. “There are other dragonets coming, but there are only two royal dragons,including you. I hope very strongly that you will all get along. You are probably wondering what the journey even is? I cannot tell you until you meet the others. I’ll tell all of you,even though Hoverfly was being a little nosy and knows already. He is something,that dragonet! So, if you were wondering,we are not going to Pantala right now. First you have to meet the other dragonets,but I need to grab a few more. See that mountain over there in the Sky Kingdom? Agate Mountain,a famous site. That is where some of the dragons are for now. Agate Mountain was where Darkstalker,the NightWing hybrid animus,was buried. Of course, now he’s gone.” 
She certainly seems to know her Pyrrhian history, I thought. She swooped down to Agate Mountain. When it was fully in sight, I saw dragons running around,chasing each other. 
“Go on.” The HiveWing queen instructed. 
I flew down and landed,falling on my face. This was so elevated! One of the dragons stopped running and stared at me. What was he thinking? He looked like a hybrid, but I didn’t know what tribes. IceWing,definitely. He kept staring. I took a step backwards,thinking uh,hi,random dragon. Can you stop staring at me,it’s very creepy,thank you. He stopped staring and scraped the ground with his claws. 
“Hi…” He said. 
“Hi.” I replied. This was awkward. 
“Uh,I’m Moose. Nice to meet you…uh,what’s your name?” He asked. My tail swayed back and forth behind me. 
“Dolphin. Princess Dolphin of the SeaWings. Nice to meet you,too. Are you a hybrid?” I knew those last few words were a little rude,but I couldn’t help myself. He nodded. 
“Half IceWing, half MudWing.” He muttered. I moved my ear back with my talons. 
“Well, uh, who are the other dragons chosen?” I asked him. He flew away. Had I scared him away? But,luckily,after a few minutes,he came back with two other dragons. A SandWing and RainWing. Then I noticed a LeafWing following behind them. 
“I’m Redwood,” he said. “This is Sunstone.” The SandWing breathed a blast of dim fire. “And this is Peacock.” The RainWing waved, his bright scales changing to light red and then to gold. 
“I’m Dolphin.” Without thinking, I didn’t add ‘Princess’ or ‘of the SeaWings/the SeaWing’. Instead, Moose did. 
“She’s one of the SeaWing princesses. I’m excited to meet the other dragons! Oh,  and there’s Hoverfly. He’s nosy.” He pointed his wing at a tall dragonet, with shimmering dark blue scales. Looking closer, I saw he was a hybrid. He bounded over to us. Sunstone rolled her midnight-black eyes. She snorted. I’m guessing she’s not his giant fan. That’s fine; he doesn’t sound like the Dragon of The Year. All the queens had started a DotY, Dragon of The Year announcement. Hybrids have their own category. The past one was Seaglass for the SeaWings. My best friend… I thought, sighing. Maybe I missed the Kingdom of the Sea more than I thought I did. Besides Seagull. I could live without her forever. 
“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAr!” 
I jumped, along with the other dragons. 
“What in the water-soaked three moons was that?” I asked, while everyone (except Hoverfly and Redwood ,who said “Great Clearsight.”) said 
“Three hundred moons! What was that?”  It was definitely a dragon. Queen Ladybug flew towards us, three dragons following her. A NightWing hybrid, GlowWing, and odd-looking SkyWing. When they landed, Ladybug flew back immediately. A few moments later, she returned with two dragons, one trying to roar. One IceWing and a…SilkWing? Yes, a SilkWing…I had never seen one before. Queen Comma wasn’t in my full view at the queen meeting. The SilkWing had light blue wings with golden yellow specks across them. 
“Birdwing. You took me from Birdwing and my home.” She said to Queen Ladybug. The IceWing was quiet, so I guessed that the SilkWing was the one who roared. I watched as the others went towards us. 
“Hi. I’m Dusk,” the hybrid said. She pointed at the dragons with her wing as she said their names. “This is Icestorm, Moonflower, and Crackle. That SilkWing over there hasn’t told us her name yet.” Peacock stepped closer to her. His scales kept changing colors, for fun, probably. It was really cool to see them change. 
“I’m Peacock, and these are Moose, Sunstone, Hoverfly, Dolphin, and Redwood.”  I smiled. 
Queen Ladybug came over, the SilkWing following her. She counted each of us. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11.  I thought. So missing the MythWing. As soon as I thought that, another dragon came into sight. He was…a MythWing! 
“Aha! There you are, Centaur!” Ladybug announced. A tall dragon smiled. Ladybug gathered everyone in closer. 
“Ok! So let’s do some introductions. Peacock, will you start?” Peacock nodded.
“I’m Peacock, a RainWing. I like art and changing colors.” We all lashed our tails at the same time. Sunstone went next. 
“Can’t we skip this and just say our names? I’m Sunstone.” She asked. Queen Ladybug nodded. So I said my name. 
“I’m Dolphin. Princess Dolphin of the SeaWings. But call me Dolphin.” Moose flapped his wings at me. 
“I’m Moose.” He told the others. The SilkWing looked at the HiveWing queen. She whispered something, and Ladybug nodded. 
“Gold-drop, my name is Gold-drop.” She said quietly. 
“I’m Icestorm.” The IceWing muttered.
“Redwood,” said Redwood.
“Centaur,” The MythWing said, looking at me. I waved quietly.
“Crackle…”Crackle whispered. She seemed very shy.
“Dusk, I’m Dusk,” the NightWing hybrid said, smiling. By now, Centaur had waved back.
“I’m HOVERFLY!” An annoying voice yelled. Sunstone hissed.
“My name is Moonflower,” someone said. That must be the GlowWing. I thought, looking for her. Moonflower stepped out from behind Redwood. She looked at me. Hi. I thought. Moonflower locked her eyes on me, concentrating. Hello. Huh? What was that? I didn’t think “Hello”! I was ridiculously confused. Princess Dolphin, it’s okay to be confused by this. Most dragons are. I was, actually, when I found out I could do…this! There it was again! GREAT SEAGULLS, WHAT IN PYRRHIA WAS HAPPENING?! Dolphin, Dolphin! Calm down. I’m not like Darkstalker, and what he did to Moonwatcher! I’m one of these dragonets around you.
