Brothers In Arms: An Acian war story

Under Rennovation 
=== Prophecy ===
Four dragonets, A SkyWing, IceWing, MudWing and SeaWing. They must look for a secret that keeps lurking,
If they don’t succeed, they can only plead,
They must stop the hate, before it’s too late.
Some puny Scavengers know something, but they are dealing with war and loathing,
The dragonets must find an ancient piece of history, for someone will have to be sorry,
From a small ploy, something big is coming to destroy,
Both races must Unite, or else, there will be no chance to fight…
=== Prologue ===
It was night time. She looked ahead. She had been flying for several days now. She hadn’t gotten rest nor has she eaten during that time. Gentlegazer also managed to injure her leg during a fight, and her right wing was somewhat tattered. Her head grew heavy, she was also breathing heavily and her sight dimmed. “I can’t go on like this! I must rest, or I might crash land and that won’t end well for me.” She saw several small shapes on the ground, “Wait, what are those on the ground? They looked like mini structures, “Are those buildings? Buy why are they- Wait a minute. Scavengers!”, She gasped. 
“I-I, I don’t think I can go on any longer”, She began to descend, for if she waited any longer, she would have crashed into the ground. She got close to the ground, when afterwards she landed on the ground with a loud thud. She laid there, motionless for a second. “They are expecting me.”, she said panting. “What will they if I am late? But if continue further, I might as well die, making it pointless.” She moaned, the feeling of the pain all over her body. “Is this it? Can it?” She wondered, “but it can’t!”, She then saw several figures approaching her, they appeared smaller than her. “Who are they? Scavengers?” She squinted, “Right! I saw those structures.” She wanted to lift a talon, but she too, exhausted, too hungry, feeling too much pain.” Everything dimmed, until pure darkness…
Hours later, she woke up, “Ugh, what happened?”, She looked down, she realized, there were bandages on her injured leg, her right wing had patches over the area where the holes were, and there was a pile of fresh meat in front of her. “What the?” She said. She gazed around, and she’s saw scavengers, many of them. “Um, what is going on?”
A man came up to her. The man knelt, and so did many others who were around her. When she begin to felt uncomfortable by the situation, they left her in peace. She, nor any dragon, have ever faced a situation like this. Afterwards, the man came up to her again and once again, knelt. 
He said “Please help us.” 
She didn’t know what to do, she couldn’t understand him.
”What do I do?”, she said, “I can’t speak scavenger, and it’s not like I can simply learn it right now!” 
The man said in dragon tongue, “You don’t have to speak our language.” 
She blinked, “Wait you can speak dragon?” 
The man replied, “A mere 90 percent of us can.” 
She looked wide eyed, “All of you can?” 
The man simply said, “Yes.” 
”So what do you want of me? And why did you help me?” She asked. 
“We need your help.” 
“My help?” Stargazer said, putting her good arm over her chest. 
“Yes. The thing is, our king, King Arsonagus, dies a couple of days ago with now heir, and learning from your history, we don’t want to make the same mistakes. Please guide us. We prayed for help to come, and you came.” 
She didn’t know if she should accept. She didn’t know much about the mechanics of scavenger society. But this was a time for her to lead. She always took orders, but now she was the one who could give orders, or more like ideas and suggestions. She could lead, instead if being leaded. It wou,d be a hard and tedious process though, she should have to learn to speak scavenger, and their scociety mechanics. 
“Will you lead us?” She said, 
“Yes, yes I will.” 
It wasn’t going to be easy. It could even be stressful. But, maybe, she could unite both races this way. She had no idea what to do. These scavengers were asking for her help. “But why?” She didn’t know, but she had to help somehow, they were counting on her, and this is a first for both dragons and scavengers. Perhaps this could change the course of history. 
=== Introduction ===
His father died during a mine explosion,and his mother… She was still here, she was still somewhat young, but she had a broken leg that rendered her unable to work for the rest of her life. He younger sister was a well expirinced equestrian. She began to ride from a very young age. She was fairly pretty. She was always seen wearing some sort of dress. She wasn’t afraid to get dirty though, constantly getting dirty with mud, dirt, dust, even her horse’s hair. And Andrew, there wasn’t much about him. He was simple. He wasn’t one to wear extravagant clothes or anything. Just a simple farm boy.
He heard about recent news. Several years ago, their last king, King arsonagus died, without an heir. The kingdom went into turmoil, fearing the breakout of a world war. They turned to the dragons for help, not wanting to make the same mistake. Later a NightWings named Gentalgazer came into the kingdom. Gentlagzer stopped to rest, and they saw this as the dragon who was sent by the gods (or more specifically, goddesses). 
They made her their leader. It was shaky at first, thought eventually, she brought back peace and stability. The kingdom proposered during her reign. But the idea was very controversial. A dragon leading humans? Not many liked that idea, especially their enemies. They only saw dragons trying to enslave humanity. They did nothing, but twenty years after her reign ended, they seem to have not forgotten. Tensions were rising.
Smoketree lives in the mountain town of Arphillagus. It’s not a small village, with just a couple hundred of people, but it’s not a big metropolitan area either, like the ones with a hundred thousand. It’s a rather medium sized town, with a 1.1 thousand population. It has many houses, two elementary schools, one high school, two post offices, several stores, and many (but not much) other amenities, it even has its own movie theater, quit a luxury for a rather smaller town with less wealthy people. 
=== Part 1 ===
==== Chapter 1 - Studies ====
It had been 20 years since Gentlegazer’s rule. Yarrow, sat down at his desk. He was studying the royal SeaWing massacre. He finished taking notes from the page and wrote them onto a different peace of paper. Sighing, well, that’s done. I can finally rest. He didn’t go to public school. He was a farm boy. He live a simple life of toiling on fields and doing not much else. He wanted to see some sort of action, but right now, there ain’t none.
He took a look at his paper. “Royal SeaWing massacre, hmm.” He said, shaking his head. “Well, I’m glad we humans can’t do magic, otherwise the world might as well come to an end. Well, I’ve done my studies for the day, I do not feel like finding out what happened afterwards, but, it’s not like I have a choice.” He gazed out the window. Arphillagus was at the very border of Acia, next to the Claws of Clouds mountains. To the north was the country of Tentilan, a country full of dragon haters. “Well, I hope we don’t have to go to war with them. There’s many other anti dragon states, and we’re right next to one of them, we’re sure to get attacked.”
”Andrew!” Shouted his mother, Ara, “Dinner is ready!” 
“Coming mother!” Andrew shouted back. He came into the kitchen.
“Hey dear, did you finish your studies for today?”
“Yes I have mother.” 
“Good. Unlike other rural families, I care about your education very much, you are going to need it.”
“I know, it makes sense.”
“I feel, worried.” 
“How come?”
“Ever since Gentlegazer’s rule, our neighbors (neighboring countries) haven’t been, how do I say it? Haven’t been, too ‘happy’ with us.” 
“Well, we can only wait and hope that nothing happens.” 
“I know but, we are at the very border with one of our ‘irritated neighbors’, we are prone to attack.” 
“If we do get attacked, we can only evacuate.”
“It’s going to be hard though, I built my life here.”
“Me too son, me too, I understand what that feeling is, I was forced to leave my city when I was 8 years old.” 
“Why?” 
“Because some angry dragons weren’t having a ‘good day’, they burnt our town down.” 
“Dang, I hope that doesn’t happen to us.” 
“I hope so as well.”
“Where’s Andrea?” 
“She’s at the market, why?” 
“Nothing, just wanted to know. Hey, I will head out to the five and dime to get some snacks or something.” 
“Ok then, don’t be too long, it’s already getting late.” 
“Don’t worry I’ll be home soon.” Yarrow walked outside the door, after finishing his dinner and cleaning up that is. He sighed, “Well, another day, another dollar.” While he was at the five and dime, “Mhm, I’ll get these peices of candy.” Satisfied, he went to the counter. 
“So, what ya looking for today?” Said Mr. Welton, the store clerk as Andrew went to the counter.
“Ah, nothing much, just these peices of candy.” 
“Well, always, ‘nothing muI known, money isn’t something that is abundant, especially in these parts of the country.”
“I know. We’re mainly laborers here, and you take a look at the more wealthy cities. Well at least it’s better than in our, ‘neighbor’, Sellogrot. Being poor over there is like being a slave.”
Once he left the store, he decided to he’d out to the market to meet up with Andrea. Andrea usually shopped in the market in the next town over. The market is left of the downtown area at Harrisburg. He decided to buy a ticket and ride the train. A little later, he bought his ticket at the train station. 
“I don’t see ya of here Yarrow,” said the booth operator has he bought his ticket. 
“Yeah, this will be one of the few times you’ll see me here.” 
“Well alright, ya got your payment?” 
“There you go.” 
“Thank you for doing service with us” 
“Yes I do” he handed the money to the booth operator. 
Although he doesn’t ride the train often, his mother bought him here several times when he was younger. Eventually the train arrives, although first dropping off passengers, then, the train conductor letting new passengers board. The bell rang several times. Yarrow eventually gets on. 
Smoketree climbed aboard and took a seat and waited as several other passengers got on. “Well, I’ll just lie my head down on the window and take a little nap” 
==== Chapter 2 - Finally ====
“Finally!” Exclaimed Sleet. “I was waiting for the break all year long.” 
Crimson replied, “What do you mean? We get plenty of breaks.” 
“I know, but, well I don’t know!” 
“Very impatient, are you?” Went Sage as she walked into the cave. 
“I’m sorry. I’ve just been longing to visits the ice kingdom again.” 
“How come?” “My older brother is getting promoted, remember?” 
“Right.” 
“Hey Crimson.” 
“Yes Cyclone?” 
“I’m sorting out these scrolls that Sleet accidentally knocked down during one of his fits. Mind helping me?” 
“Not at all” Said Crimson, walking up to help him.” 
Sleet looked away, embarrassed. 
“Well, now that the break is here, we will be able to explore more freely.” 
“That’s true.” 
”So what’s the plan?” Asked Crimson 
“To be honest, I don’t really know,” Replied Sage in a curious tone. 
Cyclone looked around before finally saying, “Hmm, I think I might head to the Sea Kingdom to visit my family.” 
“Well if you do, catch some fish for me will you?”Said Sage yawning before lying down. Sage wasn’t like the other MudWings. He did eat at times, but not as much as the others. He was rather lazy, and always preferred to do nothing. He took naps a lot. He had a thinner body compared most MudWings, probably form his lack of eating as much. It is a joke that he is a RainWing in a MudWing body, but oh boy, stereotypes. 
Sleet was one who was almost always excited for something. He was very impatient and was known to joked around and goof off. He was the prankster. He was many times (but not always) disobedient, but even so, he managed to come through. Cyclone, was submissive and docile. He preferred to follow rather than lead, feeling that he was bound to make a bad decision. He sometimes hated himself for making the mistakes that he did. 
‘And there was Crimson, The friendliest of all. He was very friendly, and he wasn’t mean, grumpy or militaristic like the other SkyWings. He was rather pacifist and wasn’t too keen on violence, sometimes, even getting scared when said violence would happen. “So different from our tribes we are.” Though Crimson. “No Wonder they put us in a Winglet together, the least popular one, with the least amount of dragons, huh.” He mumbled “Did you say something?” Asked Sage “Oh no, it wasn’t anything,” 
“Well.” Crimson said, “I think I might head out for a bit. 
Sleet looked up “Alright. Just don’t um, get caught up?” 
“Caught up in what?” 
“I don’t know it be honest.” 
“You’re something,” Said Crimson. 
“And who isn’t?” Retorted Sleet. 
Crimson looked up wide eyed. 
He then left to head outside. While he was outside, he decided to fly for a bit. He looked up and he spread his wings, he flaked them a little, feeling the breeze gently move the soft membranes. He crouched down and leaped up into the sky. He was glad to fly after what seemed like an eternity. He was a SkyWing after all, he was meant to be up here. 
While flying he noticed scavengers. A whole group of them. They all appeared to be wearing black. All of them wielded their tiny sharp dart sticks. They had many horses and wagons. The appeared to be heading towards the direction opposite of where he facing. “Huh, I wonder what they’re up to,” He said. They didn’t appear to take notice. He said, “None of them are attacking me, how weird.” 
He decided to swoop in closer. He got closer, but they still did not attack him, “Where are they going? Well, nothing to worry about.” 
==== Chapter 3 - ====
Argh, what time is it? Thought Yarrow. He was a sleep in the trolly when he felt a bump. He bumped is head on the window. Well, he looked at his watch. 6:30pm. “Damn it, I’m late. Wait, how long have I been on here? As he looked outside the windows, he saw the far side of some city center.. Well, guess I gotta walk.” When the tram reached the next stop, he got off. “I am in Ellonsgate, great… I’m like 19 miles away… great…” 
He walked for at least thirty minutes. “Ok, I feel a little tired. I need to go use the bathroom.” As he walked towards the nearest latrine with was, 7 miles ahead, he saw several dragons fly up above. “Wow. Very beautiful and majestic they are. I wonder what it’s like to be one. All powerful, able to fly and breathe fire or spit venom. They can do anything, without having to worry about society, well when they choose to, that is.
He continued, “Argh, I stayed asleep too long. It’s already 7:42pm, I’m not gonna make it.” After several more minutes, he finally found a hamlet, he was too tired to continue toward. Must… Stop. He was hungry and tired. Luckily the hamlet had several, amenities: a post office, general store, an inn, an area with several telephone and telegram service, a restaurant and a bank.
