The Brightest Prophecy AU

The Brightest Prophecy is an AU of the dragonet prophecy, but things are different. Glory is a icewing-rainwing animus, Clay is a mudwing-nightwing, Sunny is a (normal) sandwing, Starflight is a vision-seeing nightwing, and Tsunami is a (normal) seawing. Enjoy!
This will also have mature contents, so beware.

Find the SeaWing egg of the lightest blue. 
Wings of the brightest night shall come to you. 
The largest egg in mountain high will give you the wings of sky. 
For the wings of earth, search through the mud 
for an egg the color of the marsh's night. 
And hidden alone from the rival queens, 
the SandWing egg awaits unseen. 
Of three queens who Blister and Blaze and Burn, 
two shall die and one shall learn if she bows to a fate
that is stronger and higher, she'll have the power of Wings of Fire. 
Five eggs to hatch on the brightest night, 
five dragons born to end the fight. 
Darkness will rise to bring the light. 
The dragonet of the brightest night are coming...
== Prologue ==
A dragon with the scales of silver was desperately hiding in the storm. Lightning flickered across the darkened, cloudy sky as thunder rushed shortly behind. This silver dragon, Hvitur clutched his fragile cargo closer to his chest. If he could just make it over the mountains... everything would be okay... he will escape... he'd be safe.
He had escaped the sky palace unseen... at least, as so he thought. The secret cave was so close... he could feel it and another bolt of lightning struck the sky. 
Down below, eyes blacker then the darkest night watched him from below, tracking him. The enormous dragon's scales admitted heat hotter than the desert horizon as the rain pattered off her white-gold scales that were paler then the desert sand. Her slick, snake-like gaze followed the gleam of silvery wings above.
With a sudden flick of her tail two dragons arose from behind her and into the sky and into the storm's heart. The dragon grinned devilishly as a piercing shriek cried from above and echoed throughout the mountains. The dragons had seized Hvitur with their talons, shoving him down onto the slick, drenched ledge the dragon stood on.
"Bind his mouth," The dragon hissed, her obsidian eyes lowered to the moon-pale dragon. She could see the dragon inhaling, prepared to charge at her. "Quickly!"
One of the dragon's soldiers reached for a chain in a pile of burning coals. Hvitur whipped his tail at the guard, tripping the dragon to flop on the ledge. "AUGHHH!" The dragon shrieked, his face slamming onto the ground. She turned to the other one, who quickly threw the chains around Hvitur's snout, tightly. 
The guard clamped the silver dragon's jaws shut as the sizzling smell of burning scales leaked from the chains. Hvitur let out a muffled scream of pain, squirming in the grasp of the chains. The guard strapped Hvitur's wings together along with his legs and tail. "Too late, Ice dragon." The female sand dragon hissed, her forked black tongue slipping between her fangs.
"You're freezing-death breath is useless." She growled. The guard that had been on the laying limp on the ledge caught glance of the egg Hvitur had been holding, immediately pulling it away and approaching the larger dragon. "This ice dragon was carrying this in his talons, Queen Blister," The guard hissed, side glancing Hvitur with a smirk as he pushed it towards Blister.
Blister snatched the egg and squinted at it through the heavy downpour. "This isn't an IceWing egg, it is a SkyWing egg..." Blister paused, glancing down to the pale dragon.
"Stealing from the palace, now? Stupid." Blister growled. Hvitur just stared back, hissing steam arose from the chains that burned his snout. "You thought you could get away? Pathetic. Do you think I am stupid?" She snarled, slamming her talons on the pale ice dragon's burning snout. He winced in pain as he stared back, rain drenching his beautiful silver scales.
"My SkyWing allies are clever, if her lookouts spot an IceWing thief sneaking away, Scarlet is obviously the first to know, and so am I," Blister whipped his face away, blue blood leaking from the back of Hvitur's horns from Blister's talons.
"I chose to come to make this catch entertaining, lucky you." Blister laughed, squeezing her talons tighter on the slick, wet SkyWing egg. 
She held up the egg again, spinning it slowly in her talons as red, gold, and orange shimmer off the surface. "Why would Burn send you to steal an egg? She hates dragonets, especially weak newborns. If they can't work in her army, they're dead meat." Blister paused, her talons continuously spinning the egg in amusement.
Then it hit the SandWing, the brightest night. "You're not from Burn's army... you're one of those cowardly peacemonger idiots, aren't you?!?" She snapped, whipping her tail right above Hvitur's head, inching closer by the second. 
The guard blinked lightly, staring at Blister in shock. "They're real? Is it really the talons of peace?" Blister's head shot towards the guard, snorting in amusement. "Just a few weak cowards crying over bloodshed." She snarled. Hvitur winced, squirming again as the chains stopped cooking his snout slowly. "Unwrap the chains. He needs to cool off before freezing us,"
The guard ripped away the chains, a few glittering silver scales flying off. Blister leaned forward. "Tell me now... do you really believe the nightwing's idiotic, lying 'prophecy'??" She snarled, her tone hinting annoyance.
"Haven't enough dragon suffered from this war you pull continuously?" Hvitur snapped back, slowly getting up, the pain in his jaws rippling through him. "Every tribe... this whole continent has suffered from this and you don't even care. The prophecy clearly recalls-" Blister slammed him aside, interrupting his sentence. "Silence you fool!"
"No words written on a scroll or mewling baby dragonets are going to tell me what to do, when I die, and who I bow too!" Blister snapped back. "We will have your stupid peace when my sisters are dead and I am queen."
She leveled herself to the pale ice dragon, staring at him with a deadly smirk. He raised his head weakly to her. "The dragonets are coming whetere you like it or not. They will decide who is the Queen and who shall die," He coughed, rain pattering hard on his silver scales. "Is that so?" Blister stepped back, lifting up her talons to reveal the egg once more.
"I assume this little thing is apart of the prophecy too, isn't it?" She tapped lightly on the eggshell with her talon, her forked black tongue flicking in and out of her crooked smile. "Hello? Any dragonet of destiny home? Ready to come out and stop this big bad war??" Hvitur flinched, glaring at Blister. "Leave the egg alone..." He choked out, trying to stand up again.
"Tell me now, ice dragon. Would this stupid prophecy prevail if one never did hatch?" Blister squeezed the egg tightly in her talons, Hvitur staring her down in worry. "You wouldn't dare-" His blue eyes were fixed on her talons. "Anyways, I guess you should sneak out more careful so this egg won’t get- Whoops!" Blister was tossing the egg and pretend it slipped from her talons carelessly. 
The egg fell from a long way down, crashing to the sharp rocks below, a crack echoing from below. "NOOOOO! Y-you’re a monster." Hvitur roared, reaching his talon over the edge. 
Blister chuckled, then flicked her tail. The guards seized Hvitur and Blister walked up to him. "Poor ice dragon. Too bad the prophecy won’t come true, so sad." Then with a quick slice of her talons, she ripped one of Hvitur's wing clean off. He roared in fury as Blister pushed him off the cliff. The roar echoed through the mountains, piercing the air before the crack of a body slammed on the bottom. 
Blister turned to her guards and grinned. "Let go find someone to kill." She snarled, taking off with her soldiers trailing behind. 
The storm ended a while after, the greyness leaking away to reveal a light on the limp silver body. A large dragon, the color of glistening rust, perched over the small ledge that was barely above the dead, broken body of an IceWing. Her eyes stared down at him, quietly moving his wing aside to reveal a eggshell shard. With the bristle of her wings, she took off back into the darkness of the labyrinth. 
She lit a small flame to guide her, her pace quickening. She stopped in front of a large opening, a blue-green SeaWing lightly emerging from the shadows. "Is it you, Kestrel?" the sea dragon hissed. 
She nodded breifly, sliding the eggshell forward to the SeaWing's talons. "The SkyWing egg is gone, so is Hvitur." She whispered lightly, her eyes fixed on the egg shard. "No-" He hesitated. "Face it Webs, they're gone. The egg is broken... so is every bone in Hvitur's body," Webs whipped around, his breathing becoming harder. "STUPID SANDWINGS!" He roared in anger, his roar echoing through the caves. 
"I knew I should have gone, he would have never made it..." Kestrel sat before the eggshell, worry glinting in her eyes. "Asha is dead too." Webs grumbled, turning back to the rusty red SkyWing. "Wait.. how?" Kestrel whimpered, flopping forward. "Burn had an ambush on Blaze's army, she got caught in between it... she still managed to take the MudWing egg though." 
"How you, me, and Dune take care of four dragonets by ourselves??" Kestrel hissed worriedly. "I couldn't even save my own..." She added lightly to herself, glancing away from Webs. "Look, we'll get through this. We just have to wait for the Brightest Night, then the Talons of Peace will come for the eggs." 
"But there is only four-" Webs shoved Kestrel aside, side glancing her. "I'll find us a new one... and it doesn't not matter whether it is a SkyWing or not." Kestrel leaped in front of him. "Where will you get a new egg?" 
"It doesn't matter.. This prophecy will be fulfilled. Whatever it takes." 
Not too far from them... 
Hvitur's body rustled, shifting weakly. "Have to... fulfill... pro-prophecy...-" He winced weakly, his vision blurred. A tall, blurred figure stood over him, confused. "Pr...pr...pro-..." Hvitur passed out again, falling limp once more. "Prophecy?" A voice whistled before swiftly taking Hvitur's body away. 
== Chapter 1 ==
Clay didn’t think he would be the right dragon for the Great Heroic Destiny he had been chosen for. He would imagine how many dragons he could save if he were strong and dangerous... except, he felt as dangerous as a cauliflower at this point. "Stop daydreaming and fight like a MudWing!" Webs snarled. Clay whipped around to greet the SeaWing, Webs. 
All Clay could think about was his failures. Sleeping during study… playing with his friends… even if he eats too much, he always gets in trouble, especially by Webs. 
With a flicker of green and blue scales, Webs whipped around Clay and sliced his claws down Clay's back. "Fight!!" The SeaWing bellowed in anger. "Look, if you could stop being temper mental we could just stop and talk-" Webs thrashed the MudWing to the side. "Quite your rambling and fight!!" Webs growled. 
The SeaWing lunged at Clay and pinned him to the stone floor. "Feint left! Roll right! Use your fire!!" Webs barked, perching his talons on Clay's chest. 
Clay rolled underneath Webs to attack, though, effortlessly, he rolled beneath Webs talons that slammed onto his chest, knocking out some air. "Are all MudWings this stupid? Or are you deaf???" Webs snapped, tossing Clay away... allowing him to scramble back up on his talons with wing flared out for balance. 
"I don't know much about other MudWings-" Clay protested, before pausing as the familiar hiss seeped out from Webs jaws. Clay pulled his limbs in, circled his wings around him, and rolled into the mazes of stalagmites that was strangely nearby. Webs rammed through them, his large body leaping over Clay's. "Stop cowering! Is this what you'll do during the war? Hide in misery??" 
Webs tugged on Clay's long, deep brown tail and pulled him closer with a snarl and forceful grunt. Clay leaped for the closest stalagmite and scrambled up it, glaring down at the large SeaWing. 
"Can't I just fight one of the others?" Clay squeaked, clutching the stalagmite tighter. "Of course. How about the runty so-called SeaWing or the crazy-minded NightWing who freaks out over everything?" Webs snarled, baring his white fangs.
