Starwatcher is a shapeshifting tribrid created by the user SpinozillaAegypticussucks, she was artificially created by the animus nightwing, “Dreamslayer”, with these words, “I enchant this egg to produce a hybrid of a nightwing, icewing, and spinosaur!” Clay was the only one to hear her enchantment spoken, however.

She has some trauma with her parent, Dreamslayer, who cared for her closely, and Starwatcher loved him back, although an attack from the Offspring Of Darkstalker separated her and Dreamslayer, which forced Starwatcher to make a living herself as a sandwing merchant.
== Book 1, An Ominous Return (Starwatcher’s POV) ==
Prologue:
Clay enjoyed the peace that Pyrrhia and Pantala now had, nothing to fear now, just a silent peace over both continents, he enjoyed chatting and teaching, things had mostly gone back to normal, no more Scarlet, no more Darkstalker, no more evil-plant-that-tries-to-control-everyone-in-the-world, just peace. It’d been three years since the other mind was defeated, Clay was now 10 years old, which was a pretty big milestone for him, although he didn’t really care much. But he heard something he never thought he’d hear again, ever sense Jerboa had broken animus magic. “I enchant this egg to produce a hybrid of a spinosaur (what is that? Clay wondered) an icewing, and a nightwing!” Clay looked around, seeing what was going on, he saw a single nightwing, clasping the now hatching egg, the nightwing spotted Clay, and quickly ran off. Clay stared a bit confused, but thought nothing of it, little did he know, that this would be the start of something huge.
Chapter 1
Starwatcher always knew she was different from the other dragonets, she walks on two legs, unlike any other dragon in pyrrhia’s or even Pantala’s history, and her snout is a bit long for a nightwing, although she usually thinks nothing of it, as that’s her natural form. She never really sticks with that form, though, ever since she fled from the place she was raised, which was the Sanctuary, she stuck with a sandwing form usually, and lived in the kingdom of sand now, she was pretty capable overall, having a stable job as a merchant, she never told anyone about the fact she can change forms, that was just her secret. She closed up her small shop near the outclaw den, and headed for her place, a small place she’d designed after one of the hive cells, “It’s been a long day.. well, atleast I managed to sell a few crocodile skins on the market.” She headed off for a table the center of her home, and began eating a bit of fruit and elephant flesh she’d saved there earlier that day. Starwatcher thought back to the day she left her original parent, Dreamslayer, who happened to be an animus, she didn’t know what happened to her mother, though, she just assumed her father had taken her egg away to raise her alone. “I seriously need to get some friends…” Starwatcher moaned to herself, she then went off to a small hammock, and fell asleep.
Chapter 2
The next day, Starwatcher awoke to the sounds of panic, dragons screeching in fear. She got up out of her hammock quickly, then looked out a window she made, she stared as several Nightwings who she’d seen on a wanted poster across the area began lighting the den ablaze, one of them was impaled by a spear launched by a guard, but the others quickly pursued them. These NightWings called themselves, “The Offspring Of Darkstalker.” Although that clearly wasn’t true, since Darkstalker never had any dragonets, they did live up to their title. Starwatcher still left her small place, seeing a nightwing grab the throat of a silkwing who’d been staying there, and a sickening slice was heard, as the poor silkwing’s throat was slit open, blood pouring onto the streets. Then Thorn herself left her stronghold, wielding the eye of onyx, she flung it at one nightwing, who was then consumed in a blue explosion, their ash falling to the ground, the Nightwings fled, Starwatcher watching in astonishment. “AND NEVER RETURN TO THE KINGDOM OF SAND AGAIN, YOU CAMEL-SNORTING TURDS!” Exclaimed Thorn, Starwatcher saw Thorn as a great leader, she was 30 years old, but still kicking strong, Moorhen had died 3 years ago of an unexpected plague that severely weakened the Kingdom Of Mud, some dragons blamed it on Darkstalker, saying he was still scourging somewhere in the shadows. Starwatcher hoped that wasn’t true, but it might be for all she knew.
Starwatcher walked out into the streets with the crowd, bowing accordingly to Thorn in gratitude, when Starwatcher bowed, however, she accidentally bumped into a Mudwing who’d been next to her, “Sorry!” Starwatcher said, the Mudwing simply growled. Starwatcher then began setting up her merchant shop, although a very famous face walked up to it. Starwatcher gasped, “ARE YOU CLAY?!?” She said towards the Mudwing who’d walked up to her shop, “Yep, I am, I’m just visiting with Sunny, since I didn’t want her to get hurt or anything while she came to visit her mother here.” Starwatcher then said, “So, what would you like to buy?” Clay stared at all his options, his mouth watered when he saw the roasted whale option, and Starwatcher could tell he wanted it the most, “Alright, here you go.” Starwatcher handed clay the roasted whale, which he devoured in seconds, “Thanks!” Clay said, then he scurried off after Sunny, who was greeting her Thorn. Starwatcher then felt something grab her by the tail, before she could react, however, it went dark.
Chapter 3
Starwatcher woke up in a dark cavernous area, she heard multiple voices around her, and the silhouettes of obviously nightwing shapes. She shuddered as she began looking around. All Nightwings, with the the chains on their horns that let her know who they were, The Offspring Of Darkstalker. “W-What do you want from me..?” Starwatcher managed to say. “Nothing much…” Said a central figure, “Just a little information about a certain nightwing who betrayed us, ever heard the name Dreamslayer?” Starwatcher stammered a bit, then said, “No…?” The Nightwings exchanged glances, then nodded. “Well, we can’t let you leave now, can we?” Said the central figure, who was now holding a large stone, “We’ll make you talk, even if it kills you.” He prepared to throw the rock at Starwatcher’s face, then finally she managed to say, “OKAY I KNOW HIM.” The central nightwing then held Starwatcher’s face in his talons, “And where is he?” Said the looming figure. “I DON’T KNOW! YOU EXPECT A RANDOM N- I MEAN SANDWING TO KNOW WHERE SOMEONE THEY LAST SAW YEARS AGO IS NOW?” The Nightwing then held up a single piece of obsidian, “Dreamslayer.” He then blew flame onto it, and a black column of smoke appeared, “…This is getting painful to keep on doing.” Said the column of smoke. “You’ll be fine, you just used your magic once, that’s all.” Said a smaller, brown column, “No.. I feel like we’re being watched-“ The Nightwing then blows on the piece of obsidian. And then shatters it on the ground, carving it into a dagger. “Now do you know?” He said “OF COURSE I DON’T, AND I WOULDN’T TELL YOU EITHER!” The Nightwing then chuckled, “Then I guess that’s all we’ll be having from you then.” he raised up his obsidian dagger, and before he could slash with it, Starwatcher transformed into her Mudwing form, snapping the Nightwings neck, then into her rainwing form and camouflaging before anyone could notice what happened. That is the first time I’ve shapeshifted in YEARS! Starwatcher thought as she began flying away, then she saw where she was, the Nightwing island, and she saw a shrine of Darkstalker built near the cave she was contained. She decided to tear off it’s head, and looked for a way out. In the distance she saw what seemed to be another island, far more tropical than this one. She then shapeshifted into her nightwing form to see any possible future of what would happen when she went there, and she saw that it was a decent route, so she took it, and flew off.
Chapter 4
Starwatcher finally woke up, staring at the scenery around her, this wasn’t Pyrrhia. Did I get blown all the way to PANTALA?!?. She thought, then she got up, and looked around, then winced. Her right talon was cut very deeply, deep enough for bone to be exposed. She limped up the shoreline, seeing a hive towering nearby. Yep, I am DEFINETELY at Pantala. She continued limping and reached the hive. She then saw a scavenger run around, it waved at her briefly, and then continued to run. Starwatcher just continued moving to the hive, when she arrived, she was stopped by a leafwing guard, “Name?” Said the guard. Starwatcher began thinking of all the names each her forms had, and finally remembered the name of this one, “Moonshiner.” She said, the leafwing looked at her, “I’ve never heard that name before, are you new to Pantala?” Starwatcher nodded. The leafwing then let her in, her eyes were bombarded by lots of jewelry, and she realised she was in the Jewel hive, she saw a Mudwing doing a contest with a hivewing on who could eat the most gazelles before passing out, while several SilkWings watched. Starwatcher continued walking as her eyes adjusted to all the reflected light, then she arrived at a statue of Clearsight. She looks a lot like this form, minus the teardrop scales. She continued walking, and then she collapsed, her temples aching. Oh right, I can have prophecies, grea-. Her own thoughts were cut off and she began to speak, “Beware the returning thunder of old, one that has shook a continent once, and shall shake both continents too. One that will come back with a revering rage, and a newfound want for destruction.” Starwatcher’s prophecy finally stopped, the entire hive in her area had gone silent, everyone staring at her, a silkwing said, “Did you just have a prophecy?” Starwatcher rubbed her temples, then said, “I think I did…”
Chapter 5
Starwatcher had gotten a bit of jewelry to get adjusted to this new life in the Jewel Hive, but the prophecy she had still kept wavering in her mind. She did not expect it at all, and she seriously wondered what would happen now, the return of something that shook a continent. She wasn’t sure what it could be, let alone who, but she continued enjoying the many things the Jewel Hive had to offer. She found a calm place to read a book, and she began to, this place she was at sold some weird new food that was invented the year before called, “Burgers” it was a pretty odd thing she wasn’t sure ANY dragon would like, but she ordered one, and it suprised her, it bombarded her tastebuds with what she thought is basically every taste in existence. And she continued eating it, the book she was reading happened to be about the war of sandwing succession, one that had ended 11 years ago, 3 years before Starwatcher was even born. She continued reading it, and she felt that what if the prophecy really meant something, something huge. Something beyond her, and she was sure it would involve her. In one way or another
Epilogue
Wasp hissed in her prison, she’d been stuck here for 10 years, she thought surely she should be let out now. Sure, I killed a few hundred dragons, but I needed to be the most powerful of them all. She stared at her guard, then at a small stalactite, she then yanked at it, and it cracked off, she then threw it directly at the guard’s head, it went straight through the dragon’s skull, their one scavenger assistant shrieked in horror, but was crushed by the falling corpse. Wasp then yanked her prison door open, and hissed, “They will regret ever locking me down here..”
== Book 2, “Peace Shattering” (Peacemaker’s POV) ==
Prologue:
Hope always worried if Darkstalker would suddenly emerge from her now current son, Peacemaker. Scornfully forcing her to do things against her will as a revenge for ever trying to get rid of him. She knew he couldn’t return, from Peacemaker, anyway, Moonwatcher assured her of that. Hope decided to trust Moon on this, although she still had a lingering seed of doubt left, that some day, her former son would return..
Chapter 1:
Peacemaker breathed in the fresh air, he was finally going to leave the rainforest, sure the rainforest was quiet and peaceful, and his whole tribe lived there, but it was a nice change finally leaving. He was now 10 years old, technically he was already an adult dragon, and despite his age, he still decided to go off to Jade Mountain Academy. “Where are you going off to in such a hurry?” Asked Kinkajou while Peacemaker began packing a few items in a small bag. “Jade Mountain?” He responded. “Well, I used to go there, experienced two apocalypses during my time there, but it was nice either way. Hopefully YOU don’t have to experience an apocalypse like I did!” Kinkajou said half jokingly. Peacemaker chuckled a little bit, then flew off towards Jade Mountain .
After arrival, Peacemaker saw how impressive the Academy was, massive in scale and bustling with a few dragonets considerably younger than he now was. They stared at him briefly, he smiled a little bit, excited and nervous. Peacemaker then saw the 5 school founders walk up onto a rock. The dragonets around him which had been bustling around earlier, excitedly talking to eachother, fell into silence now staring at them. “Welcome, new students, to the 10th year of Jade Mountain Academy!” Said Sunny, who for some reason wasn’t looking as enthusiastic as she usually had been when he saw her enter the rainforest to visit Glory. “Today you will be assigned to your winglets! There are 5 winglets, Jade, Gold, Silver, Copper, and Quartz! Tsunami will show you all which winglets you will be assigned to.” Tsunami then stepped down off the rock the 4 other dragons were on, speaking to one dragon after the other, then she finally got to Peacemaker. “You are in copper winglet, with Firefly, Mink, Ostrich, Cormorant.” Tsunami sighed briefly, then continued, “Cliff.. and Auklet.” She then moved on. Peacemaker knew who Mink and Auklet were, both of them were royalty. Although he was quite excited to meet his other clawmates. After a few announcements, the dragons stepped off the stage, then Peacemaker heard what sounded like Sunny crying. He didn’t pay attention to it, and walked off to his winglet’s cave. He found that one of the dragons in the cave was a quite obvious hybrid, like he was. “Uh, Hello?” Peacemaker said nervously to his claw mates. Mink was sculpting an ice polar bear, she briefly got up to wave, and continued sculpting. “Hello!” Said the seawing-Mudwing hybrid. “I’m Cormorant, this is Firefly.” He said nodding to the oddly dark colored rainwing with a strangely robust build, almost like a Nightwing’s. “This is Cliff.” Cormorant said, gesturing to the Skywing. “And you know Auklet and Mink, also the sandwing over there is Ostrich, , if you don’t know who Auklet or Mink are then you seriously need to learn about royal dragon herita-“ Cormorant was cut off, “Yes I know who they are, and you REALLY like to talk, don’t you?” Cormorant then responded, “Yep, I like talking, and your name is?” Peacemaker paused briefly, then said, “My name’s Peacemaker.” Cormorant grinned a bit, “Not a very nightwingy name. Speaking of which, why are the star scales under your wings so brightly colored like that?” Peacemaker responded, “I’m a hybrid” Cormorant’s grin then changed to a smile, “3 HYBRIDS IN ONE WINGLET!” Cormorant exclaimed
Chapter 2:
Peacemaker walked off to a scroll and began reading. Then he was cut off by a loud snore, coming from Auklet, who was snoozing on her bed. Peacemaker was mildly irritated, and wished he were an animus and that it weren’t broken so he could make an enchantment to mute any dragon near him whenever he was reading a scroll. He sighed, and went back to reading. He was reading a book about animus histories, and then came across a single image, an image that seriously made him think. An image of Darkstalker. My head is built like that… Peacemaker thought, then he continued reading, longer and longer, then he got to the final portion after a few hours. About how Jerboa broke animus magic, ending it’s history. Peacemaker then felt more alert, suddenly, as he heard talonsteps quickly running through the hallway. He then saw a traumatized Clay swoop by, and this time Peacemaker turned his attention to what was going on. A lot of wing beats were outside, he saw a huge horde of Sandwings outside Jade Mountain, Clay was trying to negotiate with them, Peacemaker carefully approached, blending in with the darkness of the night and shifting the rainwing scales on his wings to comeplete black. He eavesdropped on them, listening, “SUNNY ISN’T EVEN READY TO BE QUEEN YET!” Clay exclaimed, the sandwing at the front of the huge horde was Six-Claws, the former general of Burn, who said, “She will have to be Queen, since Thorn is.. dead.” Clay kept on trying to negotiate, but Six-Claws pushed pass the large Mudwing, now nearing Peacemaker’s hiding spot, Peacemaker flattened himself onto the wall, still watching carefully and keenly. Six-Claws then got to the large cave the founders made their home, and then said, “Sunny.” Sunny jerked her head up, staring at Six-Claws. “H-huh?” She responded confused. “Thorn is dead, it is time for you to be queen.” Sunny’s pupils narrowed, and tears were now running down her face. “S-SHE CAN’T BE DEAD! I KNEW SHE WAS SICK B-BUT SHE CAN’T BE DEAD!!” Six-claws closed his eyes and hissed, shaking his head dissapointedly. “You’ll have to go to the kingdom of sand, that isn’t a request, either.” Said Six-claws. Sunny sniffed a bit, following him, her movement shaky. Clay tried to stop Six-Claws, but Six-Claws once again pushed pass. Clay himself was now crying. Watching as Sunny flew off with the rest of the Sandwings. Peacemaker then turned back to his cave. Upon entering, Auklet was standing there, still awake, and absolutely stunned. “THORN’S DEAD?!?” She exclaimed, “Y-yeah.” Peacemaker responded. Auklet paced around the cave, terrified by this realization. “This isn’t good at all….” Auklet said “I know that, that’s sort of obvious.” She continued walking, then she stared at Peacemaker grimly. “I have something that may be able to get us some help.” She grabbed something that Peacemaker had only seen in some scrolls. “Is that a DREAMVISITOR?” Peacemaker said in awe. “Yep! And I’m gonna dream visit one dragon in particular, I met them once at the sanctuary when mother visited there around 4 years ago. Her name is Starwatcher.” Responded Auklet, Peacemaker was a little bit disappointed by this. But decided to agree. Peacemaker himself went to sleep, but had a peculiar dream.
‘Chapter 3:
The hive is in chaos, Wasp loved that, she grinned happily at the chaos she was causing at wasp hive, her escape was excellently done, and she was happy she managed to at last. “Would have been useful if I could still mind control these insignificant bugs.” Wasp said. She then walked up to a silkwing, who was screaming for the guards to help, though Wasp had taken down all of them without the silkwing realising. “Any last words, silkwing?” Wasp said with terrifying joy. The silkwing then exclaimed, “PLEASE DON’T KILL ME, I-I JUST GOT MY WINGS 2 WEEKS AGO, PLEASE!!” Wasp ignored the silkwing’s pleads, then stung the silkwing with acidic venom, killing it. She watched as the hive that was formerly hers fell into comeplete panic, all sorts of dragons shrieking. Wasp grabbed a flamesilk lantern, shattered it, then tossed it onto a wall, it lit on fire. Wasp walked out of the hive, which began to light ablaze. She then laughed in joy of what she had done. No one would imprison her now.
Peacemaker awoke extremely frightenned, almost yelling after he awoke. Why was he an entirely different dragon in that dream? What happened? He got off his bed and saw Auklet quickly scribbling in a scroll. Peacemaker asked, “What are you doing?” Auklet responded, “Writing down EVERY LITTLE THING Starwatcher just told me.” She then finished writing down all the notes, then asked, “You dream about anything strange?” Peacemaker stopped briefly, then said, “Yes, to be honest.” Auklet then asked, “What was it about?” Peacemaker responded, “…It didn’t feel like a dream.. it honestly felt like a.. prophecy , in a way, so I was literally Wasp in that dream.. and it felt awfully real, I had no memory of my real life either, and I felt all her emotions and-“ Auklet said, “That sounds alot like the gift of vision, but last time I checked, your not destined to be icewing queen.” She joked, Peacemaker was still concerned however. “Still though, I think that may have actually been what Wasp is doing… as Starwatcher told me when I dreamvisitted her that Wasp escaped and that the Wasp Hive is now on fire.” Auklet said. Peacemaker was now even more concerned, he could see prophecies, even though he wasn’t born under any full moon? How was this possible? Maybe it was just a coincidence? “What’re you guys talking about?” Cormorant said curiously. “NOTHING!” Auklet said quickly. Peacemaker then saw dragons and dragonets leaving their caves for the announcements, “Alright, guess it’s time.” Said Cormorant. He woke up firefly, who quickly jumped, hissing and nearly shooting venom at Cormorant, which he narrowly dodged. “HOLY SHRIMP, YOU ALMOST KILLED ME THERE!” Firefly responded, “SORRY!” She got off her hammock and then Mink woke up due to the sound of them yelling, “W… OH ICE SPIRITS ITS ALMOST TIME TO GET OUR CLASSES!” Mink said, watching the dragons in the hallway. They all began rushing out the cave, then Auklet realised, “WE FORGOT ABOUT CLIFF SND OSTRICH!” Peacemaker decided to wake them both up, and they then got to the announcement area, just in time, thankfully. “I-It’s with g-great sorrow to say tha-“ Clay attempted to say more words, but simply couldn’t manage. Tsunami finished for him “That Sunny has left to become queen of the SandWings due to the death of Queen Thorn.” Most of the dragons gasped, 3 of the sandwings, including Ostrich began to cry hearing that Thorn had died. Tsunami approached the copper winglet, then said, “Your first class is healing, with Clay, then history with webs, then you all will get a break to eat, then class is out. Originally we were going to do a third period today, then Sunny left and… yeah you all get the point.”
History had Peacemaker quite off guard, hearing descriptions of Darkstalker and how ominously close they were to his own. His build, his head shape, the only things about him that didn’t scream Darkstalker were the fact that he did not have curved horns or icewing scales. Class then ended, and he went off to eat, only to be rudely interrupted by Cormorant, “So how’s it going?” Cormorant said enthusiastically, “It’s fine..” Peacemaker responded, staring at his talons. I’m not like him, I will never BE him, I’m not anything like Darkstalker. Cormorant then said, “Your lying, tell me what’s up.” Peacemaker sighed, then said, “Do I look like anyone familiar to you?” Cormorant responded, “Sorta?” Peacemaker then sighed and said, “I look an awful lot like Darkstalker, to be honest, I even have the same head and body-shape for clearsight’s sake!” Cormorant shrugged, “Probably a coincidence.” Peacemaker smiled a little bit, and Cormorant’s own smile diminished. “…Nevermind, you DEFINETELY look like Darkstalker when you do that smile-“ Said Cormorant. Peacemaker’s smile then diminished as well, and he went off to hunt something.
Epilogue:
Starwatcher anxiously paced through the hive area, staring at her talons, she knew she could just shapeshift into a seawing and swim back to Pyrrhia, probably able to escape Wasp, but what if that returning evil WAS Wasp, and she’d travel to Pyrrhia and cause chaos there too? Starwatcher thought back to her conversation with Auklet. “This is not going to be good…” she said mildly.
== Book 3, Seed of Peace, Auklet’s POV ==
Prologue: Coral absolutely adored her little dragonet, Auklet. Though of course not as much as Anemone, it was nicer to have Auklet around when she wanted to have a little fun. Then, long after anemone had become an adult and when Auklet was nearly about to be one, she received news from one of her messengers. “Queen Thorn is dead.” Said the messenger. “Oh well, she was a decent queen.” Coral went back to writing a poem, comepletely ignorant about what this would mean.
Chapter 1: Auklet paced around her cave, trying to think of how to assist Starwatcher, who was too far to help physically. She then grabbed a scroll from Peacemaker, “HEY, WHAT WAS THAT FOR?” Peacemaker yelled angrily. “Just need this.” She responded, then she began reading what it said. “Never mind, go back to reading it.” Auklet said. She kept on looking around the cave, then she sighed, there was nothing. She threw herself onto her bed, hissing in an annoyed way. “Anything wrong?” Cormorant said, “Nope, nothing!” Auklet responded, with a clear hint of nervousness in her voice, “Okay seriously, what is wrong?” Cormorant said, “NOTHING!” Auklet yelled. Firefly then revealed herself, hanging from a small nook in the roof of the cave, “What was that yelling about?” Firefly said. Mink had woken up with a startle from the sudden yelling, cliff still lied asleep, ostrich was in a corner, still muttering inaudible words to herself, traumatized by Thorn’s death. “It was nothing, it’s just a certain MUDWING HYBRID tried questioning my emotions.” Firefly tilted her head with a “Yeah right..” expression, “Doubt that, your clearly quite concerned.” Firefly said, now getting onto her talons. Auklet growled, saying, “I’m fine, end of story.” Firefly rolled her eyes and then turned invisible once again. Cormorant yawned, “It’s still nighttime, so I’m gonna get some rest.” He said, dragging himself off to a wooden bed. Auklet stared at a wall, then at Peacemaker. He is handling the information of Pantala potentially burning to a crisp suprisingly well. She thought, then she looked around the room, “Any of you guys an animus?” She asked curiously. Cormorant immediately shook his head, “Nope,” he said, tiredly and mid-yawn. She then left the cave, searching for anything, then ran into someone. “GAH-“ Auklet yelled, apparently in unison with another dragon. She now had her night vision and could see who it is. “Clay?” She asked, “Why are you awake?” Clay asked, “I should be asking you the same question.” Auklet responded, Clay stretched a bit, headed off for the library. Auklet then scurried off out of the cave entrance, she saw some light on the horizon. The Sun is rising already? She thought, and continued flying.
Chapter 2:
Auklet arrived at the Sanctuary, where she was greeted by a particular formerly royal IceWing. “Hello, welcome to the Sanctuary.” Said Winter, who was now far older and larger, approaching the size that his aunt, Glacier, used to be. Auklet shrugged, going into the sanctuary. She saw many hybrids immediately. Skywings with barbed tails, Seawings with star-like patterns under their wings. And a MudWing with icewing spikes on their back, along with the eyes and underbelly scales of an icewing. She walked around the sanctuary, looking for anything that might be animus-touched, she caught a glimpse of something, that absolutely shocked her. Multiple dragons digging up what seemed to be enourmous bones. What stood out was a large, lizard-like skull, with Mudwing-like proportions, but a lack of horns. “WHAT IS THIS THING?” Auklet asked astonished, “A new extinct animal we’ve discovered! We don’t know what to call it, but we’re thinking Tyrannosaurus.” Said an Icewing, who was digging up the bones. Auklet turned away, and finally saw something of value.. in the talons of a dragonet. It seemed to be capable of teleportation, as the dragonet was zipping around in the blink of an eye every time they touched it. That’s perfect. She thought, then tried catching the dragonet, it was very hard, but finally she managed to attain it. The dragonet scowled at Auklet, then marched away. Auklet then touched the animus-touched object while simultaneously thinking, “Jade Mountain, copper winglet.” She immediately teleported to where her winglet was, during the announcements for the day. “And we’ve discovered, thanks to Peacemaker, that Pantala is under attack by Wasp.” Suprisingly, not many dragons were phased by this. Auklet then said to her winglet, “I found something useful!” She held up the animus-touched object, which she realised was a pearl. Cormorant was a bit confused, “It’s just a pearl, though.” Auklet then said, “Not just any pearl, watch.” Auklet closed her eyes, thought of teleporting directly behind Cormorant, and she was there. “WHAT?” Cormorant exclaimed, loud enough to interrupt the founders who were speaking. The entire cave was now silent, staring at Cormorant, awkwardly, he backed away.
Chapter 3
Auklet and Cormorant were now in their winglet’s cave. Mink had joined them, too, Cliff was now drawing, and Ostrich had finally regained some of her sanity. “Soo. This thing can make you teleport anywhere you want?” Cormorant asked. “Yep, anywhere!” Said Auklet in response, “But I’m afraid I’ll have to go alone for this.” She said, Mink then said, “I’d like to visit Pantala, though!” Auklet stared at Mink, “Not sure this can be duplicated or anything..” She said, “Who said it can’t take two people?” Mink said, Auklet realised this, then after a long conversation, finally agreed to take Mink with her. “Alright, I guess we’ll have to be touching the pearl at the same time.” She said, for a brief moment, she not only heard her thoughts, but also Mink’s, as they teleported to Pantala. The place they arrived at was considerably different than she’d expected, it wasn’t as apocalyptic as she thought, but it was still pretty bad, 3 hives on fire. Multiple dragons flying away from the hives in evacuation, several being shot down. Auklet watched this in horror, then she continued walking. Mink, despite being larger and older than her, was still gripping onto Auklet’s arm, presumably terrified, though Auklet didn’t read any fear in her face. Is that an affectionate look she’s giving me?? Auklet thought. They then got to wasp hive, which was simply a smoldering ruin now. Several chard dragon bones laid about the ruins, then she saw who she came here for, “STARWATCHER!” Exclaimed Auklet, Starwatcher who had been hiding behind some of the wreckage then saw her, her expression changing from terror to relief. “Thank THE MOONS your here!” Starwatcher exclaimed in relief, unexpectedly, Auklet caught herself hugging Starwatcher. And Starwatcher was stunned by this, Auklet then turned her attention to the burning hives. And then said to Starwatcher, “We’re hunting Wasp down.”
Epilogue
Cormorant nervously walked around, they’d been gone for an hour! Surely they wouldn’t miss lunch, they would never- well, atleast Cormorant thought that, he had the appetite of a MudWing, and he for some reason assumed everyone else did too. He then said to Peacemaker, “Anything going on?” Peacemaker said, “I-I think I had another sort of vision, this time of Wasp spotting Auklet and Mink, and I’m assuming Starwatcher? Then again, it may be happening far in the future, so.” Cormorant was extremely concerned, pacing around in fear, and staring at Ostrich, who he now suddenly related to very much.
== Book 4, Tide Shifting ==
Prologue
Wasp was enjoying her new reign of terror, she was arranging plans with some hivewings who still wanted to serve her after so long to find a way to get to Pyrrhia and bypass it’s defenses. Wasp laid out a map which was quite tattered and old on a table she hadn’t burnt down. “Alright, we will be going to the Poison Jungle first, there’s a certain plant that might still be there.” Wasp said with a hint of glee
Chapter 1
Cormorant stared at ostrich, then said, “Are you okay?” Ostrich immediately jerked her head at Cormorant and said, “How can I be okay if MY QUEEN IS DEAD?” Cormorant scratched his chin, then said, “This has been hard on all of us but, we can get through it.” Ostrich hurried her head back in her talons, then Firefly said, “I think we should get to class.” She gestured towards the cave entrance where they saw several dragons and dragonets headed to the cave announcement area, Cormorant, anxious to get any sort of food quickly went off to the main cave, only to remember it was still sunrise, he wouldn’t get food for another few hours atleast. He still went off, however, with the rest of his winglet. Now they were at the announcement room, “Hello everybody, so since Sunny’s departure, we’ve decided to get a new teacher who was a former student here at Jade Mountain, all the way back in it’s first year!” Cormorant stared, then saw a sandwing come up to the stage, Ostrich looked extremely excited over this. “Hello, uh, future students! I’m Qibli, and I’ve saved the world like 2 times before. I’ll be teaching art class.” The announcements were brief and short, and the students were let off to their first classes, Cormorant and his winglet were first with Clay in healing, as Clay explained the basics of healing, Cormorant asked, “Are different dragon tribes healed by different things?” Clay then responded, “Yep, they are, for example, mudwings can be healed with mud.” Cormorant continued sitting, listening to clay explain healing and watching him point at specific points of a dragon diagram. Then that period ended land they went off to combat. Cormorant couldn’t stop thinking, though, Peacemaker then stared at Cormorant, saying, “You okay?” Cormorant responded, “I’m fine, just wondering if their okay.” Peacemaker replied, “I think we should maybe skip this class and ask Qibli something.”
Chapter 2
After getting to art class, Qibli was surprised, “I was supposed to get your winglet after lunch-“ Peacemaker walked up to Qibli and asked, “Do you have a certain magic animus-touched bowl?” Qibli tilted his head, then replied, “Yea, it’s more or less a souvenir now, though.” Then Peacemaker said, “I’d like to borrow it.” Qibli, however, wouldn’t give it that easily. And the two got into a brief fight, the winglet currently here was confused. “GUYS STOP!” Cormorant yelled, “Can we settle this without starting a war between Nightwings and Sandwings?” Qibli growled, “Alright, here you go.” He gave the bowl over to Peacemaker, then he quickly ran off to their cave. The others, including Cormorant, followed. “So, what does this thing do?” Cormorant asked. “I’ve read about it in animus history scrolls, it can multiply anything put inside it, including a certain other animus touched object that Auklet left here.” Cormorant then said, “Your going to duplicate a DREAM VISITOR?” Peacemaker replied, “Yep, only once, though, just so we can dream visit them in case they’re in trouble.” Cormorant was both excited and scared, Ostrich then said, “I’d like a dream visitor! That way I can visit Sunny, who’s probably dreaming about thorn.” Peacemaker replied, “We’re using this because it’s important.” Then he went ahead and wrote in a scroll. Cormorant walked up and said, “What are you writing?” Peacemaker responded, “The general shape of the world… okay I got it!” Peacemaker then said, “So, assuming the world is round, then it should be night in Pantala right now!” Peacemaker then placed a dream visitor in a bowl and said, “Twice as much.” Nothing happened, “Who enchanted this thing again?” Cormorant asked, “The former animus Turtle.” Peacemaker replied, “It’s in a lot of history scrolls.” Cormorant then asked, “And what kind of personality did this animus have?” Peacemaker read in a scroll then said, “Oh, he had a sort of awkward personality, soo.” Peacemaker held the bowl with a dream visitor in it again, then said, “Twice as much please.” Then a second dream visitor appeared in the bowl. “SUCCESS!” Peacemaker exclaimed, then Cormorant grabbed the second, Peacemaker the first, and then they both went ahead and closed their eyes on their beds.
‘Chapter 3
This.. was not what Cormorant expected, not a dream like this. He was currently dreamvisitting Mink, who laid on the ground traumatized, “What’s going on?” Cormorant asked, Mink, startled, said, “WHO WAS THAT, LET ME GO IF YOUR WASP!” Cormorant was confused, then said, “It’s me, Cormorant.” Mink then said, “Are you sure you’re not just part of my dream..?” Cormorant then held up a dream visitor, and Mink no longer had a questioning look on her face. “So, mind telling me what’s going on?” Cormorant asked. “So.. long story short, Wasp captured us. We found a camp at the most northern part of the poison jungle, and we got captured.. she muttered something about putting us under mind control, even-“ Cormorant then said, “She can’t do that, wasn’t the breath of evil destroyed like.. 9 years ago?” Mink said, “It might be still around.. and I don’t know what to do, Cormorant, we could be stuck here permanently!” Cormorant said, “You can get out of here.. I’ll tell the others about this.” He then let go of the dreamvisitor in the real world, and he woke up, now seeing it was different.. terrifyingly different. Clay was panickingly telling some of the dragons to take cover, as some flaming arrows began to shoot in through the cave entrance. “BRING US DREAMSLAYER!” Yelled one dragon with a deep voice, Cormorant carefully peered over the corner, seeing a nightwing who had carved his horns into a curve, seemingly to look like Darkstalker. “We don’t even know who Dreamslayer is!” Qibli said, taking cover behind a table. “Then you will all DIE!” Said the Darkstalker-looking nightwing. More flaming arrows were shot, but then Qibli nodded at Clay, and they both breathed fire at the dragon. The nightwing shrieked in pain, then fell to the ground, in flames. “GUYS, WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!” Cormorant yelled to his winglet, they immediately began to flee from their cave, but they were cut off by a large nightwing with metal adorning his horns. “Hello there..” said the nightwing with a grimacing smile. Cormorant tried turning the other way, but was stopped by another nightwing, Firefly then disappeared, and suddenly all the Nightwings sorounding them began shrieking in pain as their flesh began to be burnt through by venom. Firefly then re-appeared. “Alright we have to GO NOW!” Firefly said, and they all bursted to the entrance, immediately taking flight.
Epilogue
“LET US GO!” Auklet yelled through the cage Wasp was carrying them in, they moved further and further into the Poison Jungle, until reaching a cave they moved further into. “Since the two minds that formerly made up the othermind are destroyed, why not add 2 more back?” Wasp said, grinning at Auklet in particular. “DON’T!” Auklet yelled, but then she was knocked out with a sleeping dart. Unaware of what would happen next.
