Prologue
At the Poison Jungle
  "Quick!" A PoisonWing snarled impatiently. The stranger grabbed her wings and flew away to the SapWing beach. 
   Dragons were slowly gathering on the beach, with a few weird-looking dragons at the center. Her father, Evergreen, strode toward the PoisonWing and Maple.
   "Is she okay?" He asked nervously. "She's my daughter."
   "I think so," The PoisonWing replied.
    Maple screamed weakly as the whole jungle burned in front of her view. What is happening?
   She had just escaped the burning trees, and Maple was very confused about the sight in front of her. She never thought the whole jungle would burn. It was her indestructible home. Maple started at the burning jungle, dazed.
   An oak tree stumbled down, burning. Maple winced.
   "Are you okay?" The PoisonWing called her much softer than before. "Poor little scrap. You must've been terrified. By the way, my name is Cobra Lily."
   I'm not a poor little scrap! Maple tried to protest, but her voice was raspy as a badger's. She was shaking as she remembered the scent of the flaming trees, yelling and screaming. Her head spun, and she felt dizzy as dragons and plants shrieked in agony.
   "She's got a sore throat." Cobra Lily observed. Her red webbings stopped glinting in the sunlight as a few medics surrounded her, treating her with herbs.
   "Did you see Fernshade?" Evergreen gently asked her. Maple's eyes opened wide as she thought of her mother. WHERE'S SHE? Maple frantically lashed her tail, only to knock Cobra Lily aside.
   "Your dragonet is kind of dynamic." Cobra Lily joked.
   "She indeed is." Sycamore chimed in. Sycamore! Maple relaxed a little as she thought of her friend. Although he could be a little bit arrogant, they spent their dragonethood together.
   "Now, listen to me," Maple interrupted, "Where is Fernshade? Why isn't she here, talking to us and doing the important stuff?"
   No one responded. 
   "Calm down, Sugar Maple," Evergreen said softly, using her full name. "But unfortunately, we haven't seen Fernshade yet. We hoped that you would tell us where she is..." He trailed his words.
   "And you failed," Sycamore muttered, half-serious.
   "Oh, stop being mean to Evergreen! You are not even full-grown, and how dare you act rudely to a father who just lost his wife? Did you notice how one of us cried when he learned his boyfriend's fate? Hive-minded by his mistress?" A light blue SilkWing scowled at Sycamore. 
   Maple tentatively nudged the SilkWing. "Excuse me, but who are you?" She asked.
   "Oh, yeah. I forgot. I'm Silverstripe the SilkWing, and I use xe/xyr pronouns. I'm from the Cicada Hive, in case you were wondering about my existence." Silverstripe said. Xe had sparkling light blue scales with several darker spots, which she couldn't explain accurately due to her headache. 
   "Having a severe headache, I expect?" Silverstripe said again as she was still clutching her head.
   "Yes." Maple said weakly.
   "I suggest going to one of the LeafWing medics again," Xe said. "I'm dealing with a problem on our side, so if you need more help, ask one of the PoisonWings there. It was nice to meet you, young LeafWing!" Then xe flew unexpectedly to the SilkWings. 
   "Xe is cool," Sycamore said. His amber eyes glowed with admiration.
   "I hope you act like Silverstripe — you're too ignorant to be a supportive dragon, and you're not even an adult yet." Maple glared at Sycamore. His silver earrings were dangling innocently.
   "Dragonets! It's time to fly." A LeafWing shouted. They launched themselves into the fresh air.
   "I hope the journey wouldn't be too tiring!" Cottonwood — Sycamore's sibling, who was way kinder than aer younger brother — said excitedly to other members when Pantala was as small as a dot.
   "Me too." Maple said. She clutched her pet sundew and proceeded to fly.
...
At the IceWing Palace
   "Queen Snowfall?" Sapphire spoke unexpectedly. She was sitting beside the queen of the IceWings, in the throne room. "Are you sure about this?"
   "Of course," Snowfall said curtly. She proceeded to read the scrolls she was holding absentmindedly.
   Oh, for the sake of Great Ice Dragon, Sapphire thought.
   She decided to bombard Snowfall with questions out of frustration.
   "Why me, though?"
   "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
   "C'mon, queen. I'm tough and good!"
   "Am I allowed to leave the school if I want?"
   Snowfall seemed troubled. After a moment of hesitation, "Yes, do whatever you want." Snowfall said as she frowned.
   Despite how Snowfall answered only one question out of many, Sapphire screamed with excitement. She could do some boring stuff at some cringy school and move to her lawmaker position again when the semester ends.
   "Thanks, your majesty," She muttered.
   "However," Snowfall cleared her throat. "Your job as a lawmaker will be temporarily suspended."
   "WHY?" Sapphire wailed. The suspense of her job was the worst news of this tragic, miserable day.
   "Queen's order. Loyal dragons do not oppose the queen. Now I will fetch some guards to guide you to the academy to see you're not escaping." Snowfall said, and she trotted away.
   Great Ice Dragon, Sapphire thought. This situation is way worse than I thought. Sapphire clutched her head in misery. Her life will never be the same, even if she returns.
   "Uh, excuse me, Sapphire, right?" A guard said. They had flawless silver scales, adorned by matching pieces of jewelry.
   "Yes. What do you want from me? Boring stuff?" Sapphire said sarcastically. 
   "No, actually, um, let's fly? To the Jade Mountain? Because the queen forced us?" They tried to console her, and she winced as she felt partially bad about it.
   "Sure," Sapphire said, nodding.
Chapter 1
   Maple landed on the freezing distant kingdom. Snow and pine trees covered the entire kingdom, and she could barely see animals besides white bears and seal-like creatures. 
   It looked gloomy but was gorgeous, nonetheless.
   "Woah," Sycamore gasped. "Look at that weirdo." He pointed at a mammal with curved horns and thick fur, which looked oddly amused as Sycamore shouted.
