==The Frozen Truth Prophecy==
Use your powers to investigate the truth
Your fate will see fearful things
do not listen to your instinct
Or you will see lies from the web
The other dragons' dreams will 
Show you the truth of the incident
Find the source of happiness
and see what it did to the victim
The truth might be horrible
though no one thinks like that
Keep your result a secret
Or someone might find it
The frozen truth might be revealed
But do not be afraid.
==Prologue==
===POV: Moonwatcher===
On a Day of 5,019 AS 
   It was nighttime in the Rainforest Kingdom. Fireflies flickered around the snoring RainWings, and their scales flashed as they dreamed different dreams of their own. 
   Winter, Moonwatcher, and Qibli were discussing their children in their hut.
   "Snowhunter, Frostleaf, and Dunemaker need to go to a school, to begin with," Moonwatcher said. Her eyes were half-closed. "They need to learn things that are different from others."
   "Aren't RainWings too much of, ah, what you call things that are different from others?" Qibli joked. Winter sniggered.
   "We can send them to RainWing school. It's where they are most familiar with." He suggested.
   "C'mon, didn't you see their school system? It's all wacky and what they learn is about sleeping quietly. We should send them to other schools like Thorn's school!" Qibli exclaimed. He yelped as one of the firefly jars broke when he raised his head.
   "No. Scorpion Den is too dangerous for them. Queen Thorn is great, but dragons could kidnap, or worse, kill them while our dragonets go to her school." Winter said.
   Moonwatcher shouted to them. "Seriously? We all learned from Jade Mountain Academy. It's so far the greatest school in Pyrrhia." She gazed at the other two. "It made both of you learn about diversity and think outside of the stereotypes your tribes made."
   Winter nodded in approval.
   "You're right, Moon," Qibli said thoughtfully. "We all forgot about it."
   "Let's tell Queen Glory about it. I heard that they needed new batches of students from each kingdom." Moon said.
   They all flew north, to the royal pavilion. The cold night air brushed their scales, but the three dragons kept flying. Soon, they saw the wooden platform and the leafy roof of the structure.
   Moonwatcher saw Queen Glory perching on an overgrown throne-like table with little Princess Firefly and King Deathbringer beside her. Firefly had a little crown, made with lavender and yellow flowers.
   "Why did you come here?" King Deathbringer asked. "And why did you bring these two?"
   "Um, we're..." Winter trailed his words. 
   Moon interrupted him. "We're sending our children to Jade Mountain Academy," Moon said. "Can they come there?"
   Queen Glory's face brightened. "Actually, yes, they can. As you know, my friends' academy needs more students from the kingdom. I was arguing with Sunny this morning, and there weren't enough candidates." She continued. "I already sent Orchid and Mangrove's child, two NightWing siblings, the outlaw's NightWing dragonet, and a RainWing hybrid. Sunny said she needed more, though."
   "What about Firefly? Does she go, too?" Moon asked politely.
   "What do you think, Firefly?" Queen Glory asked her daughter.
    "Of course, mother! It had been ages ago when I talked to Auklet and Cliff. They're goofy, and I think that's what makes them special."
"Don't you think Cliff's a little bit old for you?" Qibli observed, joking.
"Send Da - no, Peacemaker too," Winter suggested. Moon knew Winter was hiding the secret about Peacemaker. She agreed, too. That would probably make the situation better if Peacemaker doesn't find out about himself by eavesdropping on NightWing gossip.
   Queen Glory seemed determined. "We're sending Peacemaker, Firefly, Dunemaker, Frostleaf, and Snowhunter to the Jade Mountain Academy for the second batch." She said.
==Chapter 1==
===POV: Snowhunter===
A year later
   Snowhunter flew to the peak of Jade Mountain to see the dragonets of destiny. 
   He was with his sister, his half-brother, Princess Firefly, and Peacemaker, who was the oldest. He was about eight, according to his mother. The others, including himself, were only five years old.
   Peacemaker and Frostleaf, his sister, were talking. How nosy, he thought as she showed off her new flying skills.
   "Pretty great for a dragonet." Peacemaker approved. "What about the thing I requested?"
   "Seeing your future?" Frostleaf puffed her chest.
   "Of course, you idiot!" Peacemaker scowled half-jokingly. "I don't understand why I don't have any NightWing powers. Even though I'm a half-NightWing, I must've been born under a moon, at least. Right?"
   "I think so," Frostleaf said.
   Snowhunter looked at her sister uneasily. He knew that Peacemaker was not Peacemaker. It was the prison of the legendary Darkstalker. The former Jade Winglet -- his parents, Kinjajou and Turtle -- used animus powers to trap him in the body of this RainWing-NightWing hybrid. 
   He saw the truth from her mother, Moonwatcher. You mustn't tell this to anyone, she had said.
   "Seriously, my dad's a NightWing too." Firefly interrupted sarcastically.
   "Sure, but you know your father. I do not. That's the difference between you and me." Peacemaker shot back.
   Firefly's default violet scales turned yellow and orange. Only her star-speckled wings remained black.
   "Enough with the family issues," Snowhunter muttered.
   "What's wrong with you? They're just talking!" Frostleaf said.
   Firefly nodded.
   "You're just backing up your best friend." Snowhunter snapped.
   "Don't worry. You have me then." Dunemaker reassured him.
   Firefly and Frostleaf played together in the air. 
   I'll chill here, looking at the immature ones playing. Snowhunter thought.
   "Wait, I think there's a vision coming to me!" Frostleaf yelled.
   Peacemaker's head spun toward Frostleaf. "What?" 
   "Haha, I was just joking." She tackled Peacemaker with her tail playfully.
   Snowhunter felt an actual prophecy coming to his mind. Not again, He thought, but it was too late.
Use your powers to investigate the truth
Your fate will see fearful things
do not listen to your instinct
Or you will see lies from the web
The other dragons' dreams will 
Show you the truth of the incident
Find the source of happiness
and see what it did to the victim
The truth might be horrible
though no one thinks like that
Keep your result a secret
Or someone might find it
The frozen truth might be revealed
But do not be afraid.
==Chapter 2==
===POV: Frostleaf===
Frostleaf flipped around Snowhunter. She was happy to be here -- this was where her parents studied. Everything seemed new yet familiar.
   "DRAGONETS!" Tsunami bellowed. "DID THAT MOON-BLASTED QUEEN OF SARCASM SEND YOU HERE?"
   Her brother, Snowhunter, was already searching Tsunami's mind to see who this 'queen of sarcasm' was to answer Tsunami's question. Frostleaf didn't know who she was, too.
   "What does she mean by 'queen of sarcasm?' I have no idea." Frostleaf whispered to Snowhunter.
   "Uh, yes. Queen Glory sent us here." Snowhunter replied without even blinking at Frostleaf.
   Frostleaf saw bitterness through Tsunami's face as Snowhunter replied. She could hear Tsunami saying 'I hate mind-readers' to herself while the group landed.
   Why does she hate mind-readers? She thought. She erased that question from her mind when Tsunami talked to them.
   "First, Firefly, go to that cave in the seventh tunnel. The one with blue-and-purple flowers, of course!" She said as Firefly went to the sixth one.
   "I don't think this will take a short time." Peacemaker muttered.
   "Act your age, for the sake of seaweeds! I'm a queen of a whole tribe. I will be gone soon." Tsunami barked. Peacemaker nodded, ashamed.
   "Dunemaker, you can go to the fourth tunnel and turn right at the end." Dunemaker nodded.
   "Lastly, you two, go to that specific cave where Fatespeaker is." Tsunami pointed at Snowhunter and Peacemaker. The two hybrids looked at each other in surprise.
   She cleared her throat. "Now, Frostleaf, you can go to Auklet's cave."
   Auklet, Frostleaf thought. Tsunami's sister. She only knew how Auklet was born a year before her. Except for that information, Frostleaf had no idea about Auklet's other traits.
   "Are you frozen? Go! Auklet will be delighted to see you." Tsunami nudged her. Frostleaf started to move toward her cave.
   Firefly and Dunemaker chatted while going to their cave. Snowhunter and Peacemaker were play-fighting. Can't they stop doing that dumb thing? She thought. Frostleaf went to a cave where the SeaWing queen's young sister was.
   "I've been waiting for you! I'm Princess Auklet, by the way. Call me Auklet if you feel awkward about the 'princess' part." Auklet said.
   "Uh, hello, Auklet. I am Frostleaf." Frostleaf said awkwardly.
   "Finally," Auklet said. "My sister talked a lot about you!"
   "Here's my dorm, right?" An adult IceWing gracefully came inside. She's beautiful, Frostleaf thought. The IceWing didn't have any jewelry, but she still looked gracious and elegant. Auklet's eyes became wide.
   "It is. I'm so glad you came, Mink!" Auklet yelled happily. Frostleaf felt like a worm, looking at the two royalties reconcile. I'm royalty, too! My father's Prince Winter. She thought, comforting herself.
   Mink hugged Auklet. "Oh my, you've grown since I met you in the council meeting! You're now this high." She looked at Frostleaf as if remembering old memories. "You were little as a polar bear cub, Frostie! I missed you all."
   Frostleaf suddenly remembered this amiable IceWing when she looked at her seal-like eyes. She saw her while she traveled with her father. "You're Princess Mink! Now I remember." She said joyfully.
   "Technically, you're my first cousin once removed. That's so weird." Mink said.
   "Family drama," Auklet added.
   Tsunami unexpectedly burst into the cave. "Dragonets! Come here for an announcement." She shouted.
== Chapter 3 ==
=== POV: Frostleaf ===
Frostleaf, Mink, and Auklet followed Tsunami to the main hall. Mink walked like true royalty while Auklet clumsily stepped on a flower. It was halfway blooming, and the image was so hideous that a LeafWing came and re-bloomed it.
   Flowers, Frostleaf thought. They're everywhere -- I like that part. She always loved flowers. They reminded her of the rainforest.
   "Wow," She murmured softly. "This was where my parents studied." Frostleaf saw her brother walk along with a SeaWing.
   "We're going to choose a winglet for you." Tsunami announced. "The Pantalan tribes made their own school in the LeafSilk Kingdom. There will be only a few Pantalan hybrids than you expected."
   Frostleaf never went to Pantala herself, but she knew the continent was once dangerous with the Othermind and Cottonmouth the human. 
   Frostleaf also knew how her parents stopped the Othermind from spreading to Pyrrhia.
   "However, since the balance of the tribes is uneven, we'll not separate the tribe dragonet strictly this time."
   Several dragonets smirked.
   "Frostleaf, Mink, Auklet, Topaz, Hibiscus, Firefly, and Bumblebee, you are in the Jade Winglet."
   Firefly and Mink looked at each other in surprise.
   "That was unexpected," Mink said. "It's great to be with you guys anyways."
   "Please do not do what the former Jade Winglet did, releasing an ancient monster." Tsunami continued as she glanced at Peacemaker. Frostleaf was happy to be the same Winglet with Auklet and Mink, but she was also worried about why Tsunami glanced at Peacemaker.
   He's just an innocent hybrid, isn't he? She thought. He's pretty fine, except for being obsessive with strawberries.
   "Who are your parents?" Mink asked the rest of the Winglet while they settled together.
   "My mother is Princess Crystal, and my father is Gharial," Topaz said.
   "That makes you Mink's nephew! That's weird." Firefly exclaimed.
   "You know that I'm also related to Frostleaf, right?" Topaz continued, smiling.
   "Family drama," Frostleaf muttered.
   "Everyone, you perfectly know my parents," Firefly joked.
   "My parents? They're dead, but my adoptive mother is Cricket." Bumblebee said.
   "Mines are Mangrove and Orchid," Hibiscus shouted. "They're the best!"
   Tsunami cleared her throat. Hibiscus and the rest went quiet. I wonder where she trained to become bossy, Frostleaf thought.
   "Congratulations, Frostleaf!" Her brother whispered happily beside her. Frostleaf felt her spirit bursting with energy.
   "Peacemaker, Buckwheat, Cliff, Snowhunter, Cinnamon, Torrent, and Duckweed will be in the Gold Winglet." This time, her brother seemed proud. He puffed out his chest as hard as he could. Beside Snowhunter, she saw a weird-looking dragon with a SeaWing. 
   "What's their name?" She whispered. "Also, congrats."
   "Oh, vis name is Torrent, and thanks."
   The dragonet with four wings shifted her wings uneasily. Is she from Pantala?
   "Who is that Pantalan dragonet?" Frostleaf asked again. Before Snowhunter could reply, Torrent answered first.
   WHAT.
==Chapter 4==
===POV: Frostleaf===
"I am Prinxe Torrent, child of Queen Tsunami and Riptide!" The SeaWing shouted. Tsunami and Riptide looked at their child.
   "Be quiet, adorable seashell. You don't want the students to freak out, don't you?" Riptide soothed vir.
   "Actually, I'd like to see them freaking out." Them, not us. Frostleaf instantly disliked this dragonet.
   "And I'm Cinnamon. Do you know Tau, the council member? She's my mother. I'm a SilkWing." The weird dragonet said. She had pale yellow-green underscales with jet-black stripes like a HiveWing. 
   Frostleaf sat beside Cinnamon, waiting for Tsunami to talk. She tried to sit far from Torrent as possible.
   "Goldenrod, Sharptalon, Ultramarine, Strongclaws, Snowstorm, Lyngbya, and Antelope will be in Silver Winglet."
   "Do you see the blue wingless dragonet?" Cinnamon whispered. "Uh, what's your name?"
   "Frostleaf." She replied.
   "Nice name. Frostleaf, that dragonet is the son of Blue and Cricket." Frostleaf saw the wingless dragonet sitting beside a SeaWing. She assumed that they were the adopted child of Princess Anemone and Tamarin.
   "Lavender, Komodo, Dunemaker, Azolla, Dawnlight, Starfruit, and Mindcontroller will be in the Copper Winglet." Tsunami continued to announce the winglets.
   "I'm with Azolla!" Dawnlight shouted gleefully. Azolla -- Dawnlight's friend, Frostleaf suspected -- hugged Dawnlight hard, grinning.
   Ultramarine stared at Dawnlight boringly. "You know what? My mother, Cricket, like, placed me with Dawn with me all day long when I was only one or two." He said to Frostleaf and Cinnamon. He seemed like the same age as her. 
   Even though Frostleaf wasn't a mind-reader, she could see how his face was hungry with determination to flirt with her. 
   Pfft, Frostleaf thought haughtily. I'm not even remotely interested in romance.
   "Excuse me, but you're creepy," Cinnamon said.
   "Oh, I'm so sorry," Ultramarine murmured. "I didn't mean to act like that. Behave, Ultramarine."
   On the other side, Lavender winked at Turtle, who was her father and the new history teacher. Kinkajou waved her talons. 
   Starfruit, the NightWing-RainWing hybrid, seemed to be bothered by something very offensive. He seemed to hear what the others couldn't hear. 
   Maybe he's a mind-reader like Snowhunter, Frostleaf thought.
   "Listen, students! I know that you're very excited, but we're going to announce the last Winglet members. They exist, you know. They are Monarch, Tornado, Terracotta, Scrollteller, Puddle, Flake, and Sandpiper!" Sunny shouted to the students.
   "It was my turn, Sunny." Tsunami demanded.
   "Congratulations, Tornado! You have good clawmates!" Torrent shouted playfully. Frostleaf was kind of jealous of Torrent's boldness. I hope I could be that kind of dragon, the dragon who is cheerful all day, the dragon who saves the world like my parents. She thought.
   "Frostleaf?" A voice called her. Frostleaf's heart jumped in alarm, but she realized that the speaker was Ultramarine. Frostleaf glanced at the dragonets, who were already moving to their caves.
   "Is it already time?" She asked. She was happy to meet Mink and Auklet again, but she was also sad that it was already time to go to their sleeping cave.
   "IT IS, AND ANTELOPE, STOP MOVING LIKE A REAL ANTELOPE." Tsunami bellowed to them. Behind Tsunami, Antelope — the Silver Winglet SandWing — was wriggling to get out of Tsunami's talons.
   "Sorry," He murmured. Frostleaf thought the SandWing was depressed, but she was surprised when he quickly changed his voice tone after a few seconds.
   "Brother, watch out for bullies, love you, bye!" Antelope quickly said to Starfruit and dashed away.
   "I should go too, Frostleaf. See you later." Ultramarine said and galloped away to the cave. He looks like an antelope than Antelope! Frostleaf thought as she snickered.
   "Frostleaf? Where were you? I've been looking for you for moons!" Auklet shouted.
   "I was hanging around with some Pantalan friends, that's all," Frostleaf replied.
   "Well, did— did you — did you notice that it was almost time for curfew?" Mink said nervously, not like her graceful self. 
   Auklet pointed at three beds; One made of moss and leaves from the rainforest, one made of golden seaweeds and kelps, and the last bed made of a big chunk of ice. Frostleaf saw there were three scroll racks beside each bed.
   "Look!" Auklet shouted. "The globes — it's so pretty!"
   "Yeah," Said Mink, still disturbed. It's so pretty."
   Frostleaf drifted into sleep, hearing the murmurs of her clawmate and dragons passing through the hallway.
== Chapter 5==
===POV: Frostleaf===
Someone pushed her hard. "Wake up!" The dragon hissed.
   Frostleaf opened her eyes. Auklet was staring right in front of her. She pushed Auklet by accident while rising from her bed.
   "Watch out -- she's royalty too," Mink said, distracted. She was looking graceful like usual.
   "We have history class, and it's almost time to go. We'd be late," Mink told her and Auklet. Jeez, I forgot. The first lesson is history, and I don't think I'll like it. Frostleaf thought.
   "What will we do at the first class? Orientation?" Auklet asked.
   "I don't think so. Turtle's not that type." Mink replied. "We should be going to the history cave, not talking." She then left the cave. Frostleaf and Auklet followed her.
   "It's located on the left side of the Quartz Winglet's sleeping caves, if I'm correct," Mink said. "We should go to the great hall to see Copper Winglet's caves -- every winglet tunnel connects through it."
   They walked to the great hall and went inside an enormous mouth of a hollow. Its entrance was covered with ivy vines, so Frostleaf had to duck.
   The inside was pretty cleaner than she thought. The ceiling was open but covered with the same ivy vines, which had yellow, blue, and orange globes hanging. Scrolls and maps from different timelines were organized in light-colored wooden racks. Aside from that, it was slightly damp and chilly.
   "Welcome, Frostleaf," Turtle welcomed her warmly. "Moonwatcher and Winter's daughter, if I'm correct."
   "Uh, yeah, I am," Frostleaf said awkwardly. She loved to be called 'Moon and Winter's dragonet' -- she was the daughter of the legends, after all. Frostleaf glanced at the others, who were still drowsy like her. The rest of the Jade Winglet and a few dragonets from other winglets were there.
   "Everyone, please pay attention. I am your teacher, Turtle, and I used to learn from here like all of you are doing now." Turtle said amiably. Several dragonets clapped with respect. "I see many familiar faces in this lesson. Unfortunately, we're not going to introduce ourselves."
   Just like Mink expected! Frostleaf thought.
   A MudWing appeared from the entrance. "Also, I'm here -- everyone, I'm Clay, one of the founders of this school. Today, I will co-teach with Turtle to see how you all are doing." Clay announced.
   "Cool!" Hibiscus shouted.
   "Anyways, we're going to start a project about the War of SandWing Succession, which is an important milestone of our life," Turtle explained. Frostleaf could hear dragonets complaining at the back.
   "We're going to make teams, to start with. Your assessments are to explain the beginning of the war and the allegiances in a size 5 scroll. Frostleaf, Scrollteller, and Topaz, you're team one. Auklet, Goldenrod, and Peacemaker, you're team two. Mink, Cliff, Dunemaker, and Cinnamon, you're team three. Snowhunter, Hibiscus, Bumblebee, and Buckwheat, you're team four. Finally, Firefly, Ultramarine, and Komodo, you're in team five."
   "That was a long speech!" Hibiscus exclaimed at his father. Turtle smiled affectionately at Hibiscus. The teams gathered themselves as the speech ended.
   "Each team will need a scroll to study more about it. Everyone can use the scrolls in the cave, but if you need more information, you may go to Starflight's library to find out more." Clay added.
   Several dragonets from each team ran to where the library was. 
   "Go, Ultramarine! I'll go too, Komodo." Firefly yelled at Komodo. Mink gracefully trotted across the cave, unlike Goldenrod and Peacemaker, who screamed as they went.
   Snowhunter was running as he held a banana, which seemed to be his breakfast. Only Frostleaf's whole team was still. 
   "Scrollteller?" She poked at Scrollteller. She stared at Frostleaf. Ugh, she thought. Didn't you hear what Turtle said?
   "Scrollteller, you heard what Turtle said, right?" Topaz asked. They were still smiling, but his tone was brittle.
   "No?" Scrollteller tried.
   "Turtle said we need some scrolls for a project about the War of SandWing Succession," Frostleaf quickly said to Scrollteller. "You'd better get them in your father's library, or we'll be late. You can bring whatever you want, just please bring one. Quick!"
==Chapter 6==
===POV: Snowhunter ===
   Snowhunter could see that Scrollteller raced to the library where he was.
   I have to hurry! Frostleaf and the rest of our team will be mad if I'm late! He can visibly hear what Scrollteller was thinking. Oh my, oh my.
   It seemed like Frostleaf ordered her to do something, according to Scrollteller's mind. How unexpected. I know how Frosty is quiet all the time, but she is secretly fierce. Snowhunter thought sarcastically.
   He could see from the window bay that she leaped onto the desk and kissed Starflight on his cheek as the young NightWing took a bunch of scrolls. 
   Wow, she can do three actions at once! He thought. For the first time, Snowhunter forgot about all the prophecy stuff and was enjoying his life.
   "Thank you, father!" Scrollteller shouted. Phew! I did it!
   "No flying in the tunnels!" Starflight called after his daughter, but he was smiling. 
   Clay poked his head through another entrance and said, "My class is asking for more scrolls about the War of SandWing Succession. I thought maybe you could come to talk and talk and talk at them instead, and then maybe they'll go to sleep and stop asking me questions."
    "Ha ha, hilarious," Starflight said. Snowhunter was watching them, with one hand holding a half-eaten banana. Firefly was watching them with Ultramarine and Komodo.
   "Firefly, just put that back when you're done with your work, right?" Starflight said. Snowhunter was afraid that Starflight might tell him to stop eating the fruit, but he said nothing.
   "Sure," Firefly said absentmindedly. Komodo and Ultramarine were studying with Firefly together.
   Ooh, they ate raw goats! Komodo thought. Like father, like son, Snowhunter guessed.
   "Can you imagine?" Ultramarine exclaimed. "The tribes hated each other so much back then." But not mine. My tribes were cowering before so-called descendants of Clearsight, who Wasp exaggerated to make herself look cool. He heard Ultramarine thinking bitterly to himself.
   "It's a good thing we're smarter than ALL the dragons who lived before us," said Firefly. "We'd never make their mistakes."
   "I'm glad we're here, though," Komodo said. "At the Jade Mountain Academy. I'm glad it exists." And my mother and father! They're so kind.
   "Me too," Firefly and Ultramarine said in unison. Moonwatcher, who was watching them, had a weird-looking face.
   "Why are you frowning?" Snowhunter asked his mother.
   "Oh, it's... nothing. That is the scene I saw in my vision eight years ago." Moonwatcher said, her eyes filling with sorrow, guilt, and anger. "If you read my mind already," She added carefully and quietly. "You'll know how that vision was sent by Darkstalker, while he was rotting my mind,"
   Snowhunter remembered that scene when he saw it a few years ago.
   Her mother, who was much younger than now, spoke to the invisible voice in her head. She had said, Thank you, before she landed where his father was. Wait, Darkstalker? Thinking of Darkstalker, what if Peacemaker isn't himself? Snowhunter thought, alarmed. Maybe Darkstalker was controlling Peacemaker or talking to him like he did to Snowhunter's mother.
   He concentrated on Peacemaker's thoughts, who was at the corner of the library with Auklet and Goldenrod.
   Great Ice dragons, Auklet thinks that NightWings are helping Blaze again. I should help her understand! Peacemaker's thoughts were scattered, but it was not as untidy as others. Also, Snowhunter didn't hear about Darkstalker, so he slipped out of it, relieved. He walked to where his teammates were.
==Chapter 7==
===POV: Snowhunter===
   "Hey," He said to his teammate Hibiscus. "What's up?"
   Hibiscus seemed to be annoyed. "Bumblebee believes that the tribes were controlling the SandWings. I tried to explain how the tribes worked at Pyrrhia, but I should call Cricket to tell him about whole things since she's clever." E sighed.
   "I DIDN'T!" Bumblebee muttered. He lashed his tail with annoyance.
   "Oh, why did you put me in such a long discuss?" Hibiscus added scornfully.
   "And me too," Buckwheat joined. The LeafWing was smiling, but his tone was cold.
   "It's— it's—" Bumblebee stammered. "It's JUST nothing."
   Buckwheat and Hibiscus were sitting beside a scroll that represented Pyrrhia's map.
   "Each tribe has one queen," Snowhunter explained to Bumblebee slowly. "And a palace. See the little buildings? That's where the queens live. I know that you use hives in your continent, but in Pyrrhia, we use palaces. Understand?" He tried to mimic Starflight's all-knowing tone and kind-like-a-teacher mood.
   Bumblebee stared at Snowhunter innocently. Maybe that's why Hibiscus and Buckwheat are so frustrated, Snowhunter thought. He decided to be patient with him instead of scowling.
   "We should leave him and do our works first," Hibiscus said. "The others are already doing their projects!"
   Snowhunter had to agree with eir. They were falling behind others. He could hear Hibiscus's thoughts clearly— he heard other dragons' thoughts very loudly when they became angry, so Snowhunter assumed Hibiscus was very mad— and e was highly offended as he believed.
   That lazy HiveWing— why is he at MY group— Snowhunter seems quiet— I wonder if he has NightWing powers, as Kinkajou said— Moonwatcher is his mother, isn't she?— I am super sleepy— and the thoughts vanished. 
   However, Snowhunter became trapped in eir thoughts, and he panicked. What— He thought.
   Snowhunter tried to get out of Hibiscus's thoughts. Now, it felt like a swarming river full of fish.
   Think Hibiscus's thoughts as a boulder, a voice called him. Snowhunter assumed it was another experienced mind-reader in the Jade Mountain Academy. Who are you? He thought.
   I don't study here, but I know about mind-reading and prophecies. The voice said, and that made sense to Snowhunter.
   Wait, isn't that what your mother told you about the Darkstalker? Another voice called him from his inner mind. Snowhunter was confused.
   No, you can trust me. I'm not Darkstalker. The voice said.
   Well, Snowhunter thought. I will trust you, but if you betray me, my father will kill you! 
   The voice cackled with amusement, but Snowhunter managed to keep still. His inner mind was trembling with fear. Wait, what is your name? And gender? My friend is non-binary. Maybe you're non-binary too. He asked, managing to keep the conversation seem like he wasn't afraid at all.
   My name is Peacestalker, and I'm cis male. The voice said.
   Peacestalker, Snowhunter thought. What a handsome name. It reminds me of Peacemaker, but anyway, hello, Peacestalker. I hope you're not Darkstalker.
== Chapter 8 ==
===POV: Dunemaker===
   Dunemaker was listening to Mink.
