== Introduction ==
Welcome to The SecretWing Haven. Here you will live the rest of your life as a SecretWing citizen. Let us introduce to you the two tribes that live on this island. 
=== Tribes of The SecretWing Haven ===
==== The MountainWings ====
The MountainWings are big, bulky dragons that live in a tunnel of caves below Naya's Mountain. If you see one, it is advised that you attempt to kill it immediately. We cannot have these monsters living down there. This island is for SecretWings only. We think they may be descended from the Pyrrhian tribe of MudWings. They have very powerful jaws and can crush dragon bones. They are carnivores and only will eat meat, stealing half of our food on the island. We do not want war with them. We just want to drive them off the island and back to Pyrrhia. They are ruled by Lord Grey. 
==== The SecretWings ====
This is us. You are not a dragon anymore. You are a SecretWing. You no longer have to eat, drink, or sleep. You are free. Our ruler is Naya, god of the SecretWings. 
=== Pyrrhian Tribes ===
If you ever come into contact with one of these, it is advised that you try to send them back to Pyrrhia (Or, try to get those stupid MountainWings off this island and back with them.)
==== IceWings ====
IceWings reside in the Ice Kingdom. If you have ever gotten your claws on a map of Pyrrhia, you would know that it's located at the "head" of Pyrrhia. So far, no SecretWing has ever actually seen an IceWing. We have heard that they are often blue, white, grey, or slightly purple. They will eat whatever is in the Ice Kingdom, such as polar bears, penguins, deer, snowy owls, or arctic fish. IceWings have a secret weapon known as frostbreath, which will kill you almost instantly. They are ruled by Queen Snowfall. 
==== SandWings ====
SandWings lived on the west coast or the "chest" of Pyrrhia, the Sand Kingdom. They were yellow, orange, or brown. They ate camels, roasted insects, and lizards. They had a poisonous barb at the end of their tail, quite deadly. They were ruled by Queen Thorn, before going extinct. 
==== SkyWings ====
SkyWings lived on the "wing" of Pyrrhia, the Sky Kingdom. They were red, orange, yellow, or brown. They ate hawks, wolves, deer, and goats. They could breathe fire better than any of the other tribes. They were ruled by Queen Ruby before moving to another continent and were never seen again.
Any other tribes are forbidden to speak of. Almost nobody lives in Pyrrhia anymore.
== The SecretWing Prophecy ==
Far away, across the sea,
Is a place to where animi flee.
Find the island, find the bay,
Here is a place where you shall stay.
See the shore, fly over the cliff,
There is a curse which shall not lift.
See the dragons, land on the ground,
The SecretWing Haven is to be found.
== Prologue ==
=== Some years ago... ===
Clover walked out into the cold jungle night air. It was lightly raining. She could feel the raindrops dripping onto her head. Her other two sisters, Cotton and Cornflower, were asleep inside the leaf-woven treehouse. She took a few steps further before she noticed something. Inside the garden, there was a damp piece of scroll with some writing on it that had almost been completely washed off by the rain. Clover quickly but quietly went to go investigate. She hated the feeling of the mud squelching beneath her talons. Carefully, she picked up the note and brought it inside the treehouse. All of the words had been washed off, except for the sentence "Danger is ahead.". Clover assumed that this was her mind playing tricks on her. She grabbed a tablecloth and set it down onto a desk, with the note on top. Tip-toeing back to bed, Clover decided that if she was wrong and that her mind wasn't making this up that it was probably just another cruel LeafWing trying to scare her.
Cotton could feel talons wrapping around her neck. She woke up with a jolt and was greeted with two big, blue eyes. "Cornflower!" She shouted. Cornflower shouted back. "Don't you yell at me! This is an important matter that I need you awake for!" Cotton let out a low growl. "Now get up, Cotton. There's something I need to show you.". Dragging Cotton by the wrist, Cornflower brought her to Clover's room. She pointed a talon at the desk, which had a mysterious note on it. Cotton wondered if it was some sort of goodbye note that Clover had left. She picked it up, reading it. "Danger is ahead." She read out loud. Cornflower nodded and then began dragging Cotton to Clover's bed, which had a curtain of leaves hiding it. There were a few feathers scattered across the room. "That's strange." Cotton thought. "Clover never had any pet birds." Cornflower pulled the curtains to reveal that Clover was gone. There were blue and beige feathers everywhere.
== Chapter One ==
Cabbage examined the piece of scroll, checking both sides. “Ignorance” was the only word written on it. He had been collecting these notes since he had learned to fly. Cabbage let out a grunt of frustration. There was a grunt back. He turned around to see his mother, Vine, towering over him. “Cabbage.”, she said. He ducked his head in respect. “What did I tell you about reading that stupid old paper?” Cabbage looked down at the note he held in his talons, and sighed with guilt. “You’re only going to get dumber if you keep reading that nonsense.” Vine held out her talons. “Give it to me.” He hesitated for a second, before letting a trembling hand slide the note into her talons. She lowered her head to be at the same height as his. “We will be burning this tonight.” she growled, before getting up and turning around to lecture his brother. “At least it wasn’t one of the important ones.” Cabbage thought. He was about to retire to his room when there was a knock at the door. It wasn’t even a knock. They were hurling their body at the door. Perhaps it was the one sending these notes all these years? Vine whirled around to see the door finally give in and break. A huge dragon came stumbling into the room. It looked like a LeafWing, with all the frills and such. Cabbage and Vine stood in shock. “Don’t burn that! Please!” It begged. Vine raised an eyebrow. “It’s me!” Vine still didn’t understand who this strange new dragon was. “Seashell’s sister! Aquajet!” There was a moment of silence before Vine suddenly burst out into laughter. “Aquajet! The pathetic little scrap of a SeaWing’s sister!” She gave Aquajet a hard pat on the back. “Yes, and I’ve come to tell you that pathetic little scrap of a note shouldn’t be burnt.” She pointed to the note that Vine held in her other talon. Cabbage opened his mouth to say something, but quickly closed it. “Oh, this?” Vine pointed at the note. “You can have it. Its of no use to me anyway. I wouldn’t want to watch you idiots suffer, would I?” Vine crumpled the small note into a ball, then threw it at Aquajet. She quickly grabbed it and tucked it into the large pouch that was attached to her neck. Cabbage noticed that there were a few ripped scrolls in there as well. More evidence that this could be the dragon sending these notes all these years. He could read a few words on the scrolls before she ran out of the doorway. “The SecretWings are a danger to us.”. Cabbage thought he read that wrong for a moment. “SecretWings?” he thought. There were a few notes that mentioned the SecretWings. Vine was examining the broken door. “Well done, Cabbage. Your aunt has gone insane. Guess it runs in the family.” she chuckled. Cabbage ran to his room to theorize about what the SecretWings could be. He remembered Vine’s story about her aunt Clover. Clover had disappeared overnight somewhere around seventeen years ago. All they could find was feathers. Vine always joked about how the birds ate her alive in her sleep, but Cabbage knew that birds couldn’t carry dragon bones. What if the SecretWings had feathers on them?
== Chapter Two ==
Cabbage had just written an entire scroll on what he knew about the SecretWings. He set down his ink feather and sighed. He gazed outside the window of his room. The moon was high up in the sky, and Vine would be telling him to head to bed any second now. Cabbage hid the scroll in a bag he kept, which was hidden under his pillow each night. He slid into his bed of moss, still thinking about the strange dragon that had come into his house. Vine walked into the room. “Oh. You’re already in bed. Hopefully the birds don’t eat you in your sleep.” she teased, before closing the door. Cabbage could hear her chuckling behind the door.
Cabbage could feel his talons rising off the ground. He opened his eyes and was blinded for a moment. He was in a cave with the floor made out of marble, and the ceiling was made out of crystals. “Was that the reflection of the strange dragon in one of them?...” Cabbage glanced at the other one. “Vine?” He took a few steps back as he gazed at all the crystals. Then it hit him. “This is all of my family.” he said out loud. Suddenly, all of the crystals fell and shattered. They were filled with blood and feathers. Cabbage yelled as he tried to dodge a falling crystal. He felt the shards and blood hit his face. Cabbage opened his eyes to see Vine in front of him, with a wet cloth. “I’ve yelled at you five times! Why didn’t you wake up?” Cabbage let out a sigh. “Get up. School starts in 3 minutes.” Vine left the room, slamming the door behind her. Cabbage stood up. He stared at the bag of notes for several moments, contemplating whether or not he should bring it. He decided it wasn’t worth the time, and rushed out of the door. During his flight he stopped at a little pond behind the school garden. It helped calm him down from the dream a little bit. 
As the teacher yapped on about the history of the HiveWings, Cabbage couldn’t stop thinking about the dream. “It’s a dream, Cabbage. You’re fine.” he thought. He could still vividly remember the feather and blood-filled crystals shattering. Everything had a connection to the feathers. “Could the HiveWings be behind this too? No. They’re extinct. Right?” Cabbage was lost in his thoughts. Suddenly he felt a talon on his shoulder. He snapped out of his trance. Fern, the teacher, was right beside him. Cabbage looked around. All the students were gone. “Cabbage, school’s over. Head home.” the teacher said. Cabbage stood up, walking out of the classroom. Maybe he could get Evergreen to help him? He prepared to take flight, spreading his wings. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of green light. “Thats almost exactly the same color as the strange dragon.” he thought. Cabbage turned his head towards the green light. But when he did, he only saw a frog. He decided to catch it and bring it home to eat. Cabbage went to dive for it, but he did not land on a frog. He fell, and blacked out.
