Venom and fears.

== Venom and Fears descriptions: ==
Sandwing's, Nightwing's, and Rainwing's are angry with each other. But something is weird with the Mudwing tribe, they are becoming really sick and unnecessarily aggressive. But Cacao the rainwing, Scorch the sandwing, and Starbeam the Nightwing have questions. Everyone is wondering if this will escalate into war.
== prologue | 6045 AS ==
Queen Cosmo of the Rainwing and Nightwing tribes sighed, her semi shifting scales were a blackish greenish blueish hue. Her husband Black-flower sat beside her, his black scales shining in the moonlight. Then a Rainwing burst into the room. "Queen! Mudwings just attacked a remote outpost near the border!". "What!" Queen Cosmo said. "What's wrong with them! we haven't hurt them ever!" Queen Cosmo ran out of the room and cried out to the Rainwing, "Wait! I want to see it!" 
That was when the assassin killed the hybrid queen.
== Part one | Chapter one | POV: Cacao the Rainwing ==
Cacao had thousands of questions in his life "Who killed the queen?" "Why are the Mudwings angry with us?" "When will everyone calm down?" "Why did the assassin kill the queen?" but the question on Cacao's mind the most was "Why did Mom and Dad abandon me?" 
Cacao ran under the fruit stall and while no one was looking grabbed an orange. An adult voice boomed "THIEF!" Cacao's scales turned lime green as he ran as fast as he could but he could tell the shopkeeper was almost at him. The shopkeeper lunged at him but Cacao feinted, rolled to his left, avoided a tree, and got back on his feet and continued to run for half an hour until the angry shopkeeper was long gone.
Cacao panted, gasping for breath, he thought "Faster next time, and be sure the owner is either busy with someone else or gone." Once Cacao had taken his breath back, he ran back to his hollow and ate his stolen orange. His hollow is certainly not big, and for sure not made for more than one but it was his home for as long as he can remember. "Still hungry, maybe I scavenge for a bit, or do I have any leftovers? Or maybe forage for something?" Then Cacao realized something, he had a large cut on his foot, it was bleeding bad." Cacao limped outside his hollow and grabbed some wild dock leaves and chewed them, then spat them out and applied it to his cut. "Oww... that burns, but it will help, wait..... these plants are not dock leaves.
They were yew leafs! "Oh no!" Cacao whispered to himself. "Those will make me really sick!" Cacao tried to scrape the yew off but it was sticking to his foot. Cacaos tongue was was starting to swell and it felt numb. He knew talking was going to be hard "but I have no one to talk to, why do I care?" He tried to limp back to his hollow in the ferns but he tripped, Oh no the poison is worse than I thought! It's already spread to my whole leg!" His leg went numb, it might be the worst decision in his life but, he needed help. He got back on his feet, and began limping to the rainforest city. 
The trip took longer than normal, his other leg was starting to go numb by the time he came to the city. He struggled too, but he poked a Nightwing Dragonite next to him and said "I need help, I accidently poisoned myself!" The Nightwing grabbed his arm, normally he would have jerked his arm away, but he was losing all his strength. He dragged along until a large building came into view. Then Cacao went white and fainted.
== Chapter two | POV: ￼ ￼ ￼ Starbeam the Nightwing. ==
The weird little Rainwing just collapsed right at the clinic! Starbeam touched his skinny neck, "Alive, good!" ￼ How can you poison yourself by accident? Something on the little Rainwing caught her eyes. His white foot had chewed up bits of yew on it. Oh... yew! that makes sense, but the adults uproot all the yew, and he is too old to be chewing random plants! Wait.. I should help him.. yeah should probably stop thinking about deadly plants and make sure he doesn't die. 
Starbeam dragged the unconscious Dragonite inside and called for help. A tall Rainwing walked up, grimaced, and picked up the little Rainwing and walked out of the room with him. a thousand questions came into her mind "Who is he? What just happened? What did he do? why did I help a stranger? Why is he so dirty? Is he an orphan? Where are his parents? Why is he so skinny?" ￼ The Rainwing medic came into the room and said in a peaceful voice "He's going to be ok, but can I ask some questions?" Starbeam nodded. "What is his name? Why did he put yew on his foot and mouth?" "I don't know either," Starbeam said "He said he needed help, I brought him here to help, but he passed out as soon as he saw the building!" A loud groan came from the other side of the door and the Rainwing went to the door and was carrying a common yarrow, To make him throw up to get it out of his system!" ￼ Starbeam followed the Rainwing and came into the other room.
the dirty Rainwing was curled into a tight ball. He was white on his underside and green and blue above. The Rainwing medic said urgently "Eat this or you will most likely die." The dirty Dragonite groaned again and ate the yarrow. Starbeam said with a frown "You really need to work on comforting your patients instead of telling them they are going to die." The honest RainWing medic said "If you want to see him tomorrow, do that, not today." Starbeam sighed and walked out of the building.
== Chapter 3 | POV: Scorch the SandWing. ==
Scorch was standing behind the healers hut, SandWings in the kingdom were mainly here to sell their wares, Scorch's dad worked mainly in the northwestern area of the Sand Kingdom before he stopped to the rainforest selling rare cacti and succulents. The little skinny Rainwing was completely out of place, Rainwings typically washed regularly, but he looked like her never saw water in his life! A NightWing Dragonite who Scorch played with led him toward the medics.
He waited for a few hours behind the Medics hut before someone came outside. It was the weird, skinny Rainwing. The Weird Rainwing must have heard him breathing because he said "Who's there?" Scorch said quietly and slowly "I'm Scorch, I've seen you around. you're a thief, but don't worry, I can help." "I don't need help."He said matter-of-factly. "Show yourself!" "Ok," Scorch said coolly, stepping out of the bushes he was sitting in. "I don't know your name, what is it?" The RainWing said cautiously, "I'm Cacao, and you... are not a Nightwing like I thought you were." Scorch looked at Cacao with a confused look on his face "What makes you think I'm a Nightwing? That name is not a Nightwing name!" Cacao said in an almost embarrassed tone "I.. I don't really know anyone's name, so I don't know what a Nightwing name is and a.. Sandwing name is? He trailed off, saying Sandwing as if he did not know what one was.
Cacao seethed, looking at his foot, which was white with an occasional pale yellow. the rest of his body was blue and orange with a few pale green ones as well. remembering the scroll he read about Rainwing color feelings, he was feeling.. Pain, sadness, irritation, and.. fear? Cacao said plainly "Do you know where the nearest pond is?" 
== Chapter 4 | POV: Cacao the RainWing ==
Weird Dragon. he looks more like a scorpion than a reptile. Scorch was rather shortish, maybe he's just younger than Cacao is. And he seemed stalkerish. 'I've seen you around?' What does that mean? Cacao scales turned yellow for some reason and then small bursts of pink came up as well "what's that pink and yellow about, and what's this weird feeling in my chest?"
Scorch said with a smile "Over here" he said, waving his barbed tail over to a pool of water. Cacao nodded and went over to the water, wet his talons, and wiped his arms. Are all dragons this shiny? Why are dragons THIS SHINY? ￼ Cacao was picking a bit of dried mud off his foot when Scorch said "Do you go to school?" Cacao scoffed and said "No, while you are learning the abd's I'm looking through garbage just to have a somewhat deceit meal. Scorch said with a sad tone "It's the Abc's and that's really.... depressing." 
Cacao noticed that his scales were turning blue and... green? He muttered under his breath "Why are my scales and feelings so weird?" Scorch put his arm on his and said sympatheticly. "You don't know what feelings are like?" Cacao nodded, almost on the verge of... tears? "This is a strange place, not talking is so much easier than all these feelings I've only felt for a few minutes." Cacao said "Is this a normal thing, like you have something bad happen, and then it spirals out of your grasp of understanding, and you feel these weird emotions that you don't know how to comprehend?". Scorch sighed but didn't respond. 
the sun was starting to set when they finished talking. Cacao felt sad when Scorch said he had to leave, like, part of his life was taken out of him. Cacao stayed outside that night, but he couldn't fall asleep that night, thinking about him.
== Chapter 5 | POV: Scorch the SandWing ==
Cacao was one hundred percent the strangest dragon Scorch has ever met in his young life. More questions piled on his chest, ￼ Who are his parents? Why is he alone? Why would he not want to feel emotion? Scorch walked into his wooden hut. His father whose name was Dry was watering some bright sting cactus plants and said to his son "What were you doing outside?"
Scorch smiled a little and said "Just talking to a really nice RainWing dad!" Dry said "Great for you, hey can you grab the high salt soil over by the big jade plant? Scorch nodded and grabbed the little paper bag and put it down next to the bright sting cactus plants. "Thanks Scorch." Dry said "You're a lifesaver!" Scorch nodded and said "I'm going to bed dad, see you in the morning!" Dry said "Good night Scorch!" Scorch went over to his blanket in the corner of his room and closed his eyes, and fell asleep instantly.
In the morning, Dry shook Scorch awake. Scorch groaned in protest. "I need your help with the stall today." Dry said. "you will help, right?" "Sure dad,"Scorch said. "but may I play later?" Dry smiled and sweetly said "You don't even have to ask." 
Scorch sat up and smiled, remembering the events yesterday, with Cacao. "Did I tell you?" Dry said, with a watering can in his hands. "Your mother is visiting tomorrow!" Scorch smiled, his parents broke up when he was two, and he mainly stayed with his dad, only occasionally seeing his mother Sunbeam. 
A loud knock on the door made Scorch jump and sat up and Dry said "I'll get it!" A moment later, a yellow and purple Cacao came through the door! "Cacao!" Scorch said. "How are you!" Cacao smiled and said "Foot is better! But my mouth still feels a little tingly." He shifted so Scorch could see his foot, it just had a long scratch on it. Scorch realized that he was covered in little scars. Years of predators, sharp thorns, and other sharp, pointy things. Scorch realized that he was sitting on his tail wrong and it ached. 
He stood up and said, "So what happened again?" Cacao frowned and said "I cut myself, but instead of dock leaves in my cut, I put yew leaves, which are extremely poisonous." Yeah I saw you pass out yesterday next to that Nightwing." Cacao's ruff turned red and then orange. Cacao said with a hint of anger in his voice "Then why didn't you help! I passed out and you were just standing there without a care in the world!" Scorch said with shock in his voice "I-I didn't know what was wrong!" Cacao's face looked slightly dismayed and almost.....afraid? his scales were turning dark blue, light grey, and tiny flickers of lime green on his face.
"Let's talk more outside." Cacao said. "If the place has walls and a roof, I hate it." Cacao looked like he was.. shivering? Even more flickers of lime green were growing on his face and neck. Scorch put his wing around Cacao's back and streaks of pink washed over the green like a wave to a beach. Cacao beamed and sighed in contentment.
== Chapter 6 | POV: Cacao the RainWing ==
Cacao had never been more at peace, even if he was in a building. Scorch was looking at Cacao like he was a little panda that rolled into a tree and fell down. Cacao looked at his scales, light blue-grey and pink. Cacao realized that he was smiling so hard that his cheeks were hurting. Scorch said, still smiling "Ok, lets go outside." Scorch lifted his wing off Cacao and he started to feel cold again. He stood up and walked out of Scorch's room, his scales turning silver and flickers of indigo. Scorch followed and closed his door.
Soon they were both outside and at the side of Scorch's house. Scorch put his tail on Cacao's and his indigo turned into pale pink. "Hi!" A NightWing Dragonite said. "Remember me?" It was the Nightwing Dragonite who helped him. "Hey." Cacao said "I didn't thank you for helping me with my foot." The Nightwing smiled and said "Gah it's not a big deal, except the part when you fell unconscious and I had to drag you inside the healer's hut." Cacao said "Is that why I had bruises when I woke up?" The NightWing looked as if he was holding back laughing her head off. 
Cacao suddenly felt very upset about that, why?... ￼ Why am I so emotional these days? This is so strange, why do I suddenly care about emotions? Cacao's scales were turning an embarrassed pinkish rose color and an extremely pale blue. "Oh! I never said my name!" The Nightwing said. "I'm Starbeam!" Cacao said "I'm Cacao.". and Scorch said "I'm Scorch!".
== Chapter 7 | Starbeam the Nightwing ==
Starbeam was beaming. New dragons are so exciting! ￼ Cacao is so strange in the best way. and Scorch is so cool and nice! "STARBEAM!" A loud voice boomed "WHO ARE YOU WITH?" "Uhhh dad why..." Blackshadow was a tall Nightwing who is Starbeam's dad who really hates Sandwing's with a burning passion because he got stung by one. "Just some friends!" "With a Sandwing?" Blackshadow said. "You know you can't play with them!" "DAD!" Starbeam growled "He's not bad like Mirage was!" 
A Sandwing walked up to Blackshadow and said "What are you doing with my son?" Scorch was crouching down with his barbed tail arched above him like a scorpion. Starbeam inched closer to Scorch and Cacao and Blackshadow growled at all three of the Dragonites. Cacao was looking around confused, his scales were turning into a lime and light grey splotches until he looked at Scorch and small spots of pink showed up as well. "My name is Dry." The short Sandwing said "And you are harassing my son." 
"My name is Blackshadow" Her father said aggresively. "You are not allowed to play with my daughter! You scorpion dragon!" Dry growled deeply and his tail was twitching like mad. A Rainwing police officer walked up to the two and said "I don't like the scenarios playing in my mind right now so I'm going to ask you folks to break it up before I will have to enforce it."
"Starbeam." Blackshadow said with a clear tone of hatred in his voice. "Lets go." Starbeam looked at Cacao and Scorch, shook her head slightly, and followed her dad.
== Chapter 8. | POV: Scorch the Sandwing. ==
WHAT THE WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT? Scorch was shaking from horns to tail. Shaking like he had an adrenaline rush. Cacao, who was right beside him, was almost completely pale green and shaking too. "You alright?" Said Dry. "I-I'm OK dad." Cacao just stood there, still shaking, still green. That must've been pretty crazy for him. Scorch dug his claws in the ground below him and breathed. It was around noon, and yet it felt like the whole day had gone by. His shaking finally stopped. He realized that the Rainwing police officer was gone. 
Cacao was still shaking, with hints of dark blue flickering to his green. Cacao's gaze fell appon Scorch's. and Scorch saw small tears in the corner of Cacao's eyes. Scorch put his tail on Cacao's, which was dark blue with green paint splatters. Scorch said, "Let's.. Maybe go to your place?" Cacao stood up, and started walking. Cacao led him into the jungle where deep within was a large group of ferns surounded by orange peels, banana skins, and bramble. Cacao stopped, then dove in a pit below him. 
It turned out, it wasn't a pit, it was a hollow, with a small guitar in one corner and a pile of leaves in another. "Sorry." Cacao said. "I should have told you, I never intended to have guests, so I'm sorry it's so small." When Cacao was in, there was barely enough room for both of them to be comfortable. "Are you hungry?" Cacao said "I thought I saw a monkey we could share." 
"I thought Rainwings don't eat meat." Scorch was surprised. "If anything I prefer meat." Scorch tucked his tail in the fold where he could safely protect Cacao. "Are you good at playing guitar?" Said Scorch. "I barely play it. I would rather do something important." "Hmm, can you try for me." Cacao grabbed the little guitar and strummed it. 
Cacao began playing a slow beat and yet it was a great song. Scorch said "You're good." Cacao nodded and put down the guitar next to his leaf pile and sighed. Cacao said, "I thought Guava and Mango said SandWings have claustrophobia." Scorch said "I guess I'm special, and who's Guava and Mango?" 
"My triplet brothers." 
== Chapter 9 | POV: Cacao the Rainwing ==
"Your a triplet?" Questioned Scorch. Cacao rolled his eyes and said "Yup. Can't remember why I'm out here and they are in a freaky building." "But, you must be one of the only triplets in the world, TWINS are rare, but TRIPLETS? What are they like?" Cacao said, scales turning purple and pink. "Guava is really really smart, and Mango is gets really nervous sometimes, but its only for little reasons. 
"The only reason I can talk right is because they sometimes teach me some things. Wait, I do talk right, right?" 
"You are a great speaker Cacao." A perky voice said. "MANGO! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT COMING WITHOUT THE ORCHID!" Scorch was looking so confused it was kind of hilarious. Cacao explained "To make sure I know it's Guava or Mango or-" "Who's with you?" Mango said. Scorch crouched and went outside. "I thought I knew everyone you have ever met, which is basically Guava and I." Cacao crept outside and saw the two of them glancing at each other with matching confused looks.
"When did you make friends with..." A lavender and orange Mango trailed off. "Scorch. My name is Scorch." He said. "Guava is waiting at that little waterfall." Scorch perked up and said "Oh! I need to help my dad with the cacti! I'm sorry Cacao, I need to go!" Cacao's pink and purple scales were turning pale blue and an extremely dark purple that looked almost black.
Mango looked at Cacao amused. "Let's go get Guava!" Cacao nodded and noticed that Mango was limping, small black scars on his claws and wrists and a few recent venom splashes. "Who did that to your claws?" Cacao asked, still walking. Mango growled and said "Mother was fired from her job, I broke a cup and she did it to me." 
Cacao and Mango's wings brushed. Mango said "I want you to turn yourself in, it's time. You barely know him and you don't know if you can trust him. I'm not going to let you get hurt anymore. Guava thinks you should turn yourself in as well." Cacao stopped and pointed to Mango's claws and said "That is why I can't turn myself in." Mango stopped and closed his eyes. "Please, it's been terrible seeing you steal for food, it's awful thinking that's my own brother, triplet!" 
"Listen, if you really want me to be safe, you will let me stay in the jungle." An excited voice came from a tree, "Hey Cacao!" Mango said "Guava! You're supposed to stay at the waterfall!" "Sorry Mango!" Guava said. Mango rolled his eyes, his scales turning a redish orange. Guava said, hopping down from the tree, "Who was that SandWing." Mango said irritated, "HOW FAR DID YOU STALK US?"
"Long enough to know that Cacao has an adorable crush." Cacao turned emerald green and rose pink. Mango looked at Cacao with a nervous glance and said "Wait... what?" 
== Chapter 10 | POV: Scorch the SandWing. ==
Scorch ducked through the trees, trying to remember where the market was. Scorch was confused, in the desert, you could see a mile away no problem, but in the rainforest, you can barely see five feet away! "Ugh!" Scorch grumbled "Everything looks the same.". "I'll help you!" Said a hoarse but perky voice, "I'm Guava!" 
Scorch said "Wait, Guava? Cacao's brother?" Guava jumped gracefully down from a massive tree and said "Yes... But how do you know Cacao?" Scorch smiled and said "I stalked him when he accidentally poisoned himself and when we talked we became friends!" "HE WHAT!" Guava said and dashed into the forest, climbing a tree.
Scorch ventured into the massive jungle mumbling about creepy overprotective siblings. "Thank the moons I'm only Dragonite." Scorch was getting lost. He had no idea where he was going until it was dark outside. "Oh lizard droppings! Wait... is that the ocean? I WENT THE WRONG WAY FOR HOURS?" The ocean was massive and gorgeous at the same time, a whale splashed far away.
"I got to go back! Ugh... I need to go back tomorrow if I don't die of some poisonous mushrooms." Scorch was trembling and his poisonous barb was hitting a fern plant. Scorch walked over toward the beach and built a fire. he hunted and ate and went to sleep soon after.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" A voice said. Scorch sat up and looked at Cacao, who was with Mango and Guava. "Got lost and got too tired to go all the way back. "My dad is going to kill me." Scorch explained. "Guava told me he helped you find your way back." Cacao said. "What! As soon as I told him about the little yew incident he dashed in the woods and left me here!"
Cacao scales turned dark green and dark blue and he said with anger in his voice "GUAVA!" Guava rolled his eyes and his scales turned from green and yellow to brown and orange. Mango stepped closer to Cacao and his wings turned a bright teal it almost looked sky-blue. Mango said "Let's go find your dad."
