=== Prologue: ===
Two holographic dragons ran through the forest. The blue one looked back to watch for followers. They stopped and hid in a bush. “We cannot let them find this.” The green one said, holding up a USB in a green rubber bracelet. “I know that. That’s why we’re running away.” The blue one said, brushing his wing on the green one’s wing. “What if this isn’t the right thing to do though.” The green one worried. “If they find them, they will force them to fight. We don’t want to lose our only dragonet.” The blue one said, comforting the green one. “We cannot lose this.” The green one said. “We need to give our dragonet a happy life.” She added. “We need to keep going.” The blue one said. The two stood up and continued running. “We’re near the sand-kingdom.” The green one said. “We could hide there until this dies down.” the blue dragon said. “I think we’re far enough away that we could fly.” the green dragon said. The two took off. The USB fell to the ground. It sat there for several hours. No sign of life from it. A small flicker of green-blue light came from it. It flickered again. Some blue-green pixels flowed out of the USB. A dragonet formed from the holographic pixels. It blinked and looked around. “Mommy?” It squeaked quietly, a sad forlorn tone to its voice.
The dragonet walked forward for as long as it could. There was nothing but forest all around them. “Mommy?” the dragonet repeated, feeling more hopeless as the time passed. The dragonet was still carrying the small bracelet it found next to it. Something told it that it would need it. the feeling of hunger began filling the small dragonet. “Mommy?” It repeated once more. No answer. Only the singing of the birds and the whistle of the wind through the forest’s leaves. The dragonet heard something else coming from the forest ahead. The dragonet walked further. It felt hungrier now. Exhaustion was creeping up on the dragonet like a snake waiting to strike its prey. “Mommy?” the dragonet squeaked weakly. The dragonet saw a clearing in the forest. Beyond the forest was a vast desert that stretched as far as the eye could see. The dragonet heard rustling in the bushes next to it. something jumped out of the bush. “Yeah, well I’m gonna get them first!” An older dragonet yelled, jumping from the bush. The older dragonet nearly fell onto the small dragonet. “Sorry.” The dragonet said. The small dragonet tried to hide under a bush. “Where are your parents?” the older dragonet asked in a gentle voice. The little dragonet gave a said look. “You don’t know, do you?” The older one said. The little dragonet nodded sadly. “What’s your name?” she said. The little dragonet tilted its head confusedly. “Do you not know?” she asked. The little dragonet shook its head. “You don’t have one?” She asked. The dragonet nodded slightly. “Well then, we need to give you one, don’t we?” the older dragonet said. “I’m Mantis Shrimp, but I go by Mantis.” the older dragonet said, introducing herself. Mantis paused for a moment, thinking. “How does Delta sound?” She asked. The little dragonet gave a small smile of approval and nodded a few times. “I’ll take that as a yes.” Mantis responded. “Come on, you’ll have to meet the others.” Mantis said.

“Time to wake up everybody!” An excited voice announced from down the hallway. “Quiet down Sol, it’s not even breakfast yet.” A monotone voice yelled back with very little emotion. “Byte, wake up. It is actually breakfast.” Another voice yelled. “Delta you’re awake too right!” The second voice yelled. “Yeah, sure.” Delta yelled back. He almost felt bad for their neighbors who had to deal with Sol’s excited energy and the wake-up yell every morning, but the neighbors are shop-owners running their shop on both sides of the place Delta and his friends called home. It was a two-story wooden building that made their home. On the top story the sleep-rooms were housed. And on the lower floor the kitchen, the small stash of scrolls that was a library and the area for greeting visitors lived. The house used to be an orphanage or a little inn, according to Sol. Delta got out of the bed in his sleep-room. His sleep-room was not too small, it had a window that overlooked part of the desert and the forest that Delta was discovered in, the room also housed a few shelves. Delta kept a few scrolls, some wood carvings, and a potted flower that was kept in the sun, and watered extremely carefully, housed on the shelves. Delta left his room and started towards the stairs. He passed Mantis’s room which was empty, and Sol’s room which was left wide-open and also empty. Byte’s room had the door closed, as always, but Delta knew that she was still in her room. Byte opened the door just enough to exit and closed the door, leaving the partially defaced ‘do not disturb’ sign on the doorknob. Delta started down the stairs and was greeted by Sol as soon as he left the staircase. “Hiiiiiii! You’re finally up!” She said in her usual happy, energetic voice. “Yep.” Delta said in a sarcastic tone. “Sol, could you tone down the energy just a little, it’s still the morning.” Mantis said politely. “Oh. Sorry I forget that not everyone is quite awake yet.” Sol said apologetically. “It’s fine Sol.” Delta said kindly. “Yep, we all know you have energy the entire day.” Byte said sarcastically in her monotone voice. “Well, you are the energy of the group.” Delta said gently brushing his wing against Sol’s wing. “And don’t you ever forget my role!” Sol stated enthusiastically. “It’s hard to forget something that’s thrown at your face every minute of your life.” Byte said with no emotion, which was just the way she spoke. Byte could fake emotion spotlessly and often used this skill to help get dragons let their guard down so she could strike. Her past was mostly unknown, it was unknown what happened to her family to make her an orphan. “Enough.” Mantis said. “Time to eat.” She added, carrying several plates and setting them on the table. Mantis was a hybrid and her parents hated her for it, they kicked her out of the house. She was forced to grow up on the streets, all alone. Mantis is the oldest of the orphans, and she usually was the head of the house. She learned how to be an amazing cook thanks to her having to make the best of whatever food she found on the streets. She was gentle and loving, but at the same time stern and sarcastic when needed. She still was a dragonet, so she had a slight joking side to her. “What fruits are there today?” Sol asked. Sol, short for Solar, had a similar beginning to Mantis, only a little rougher. She had terribly abusive parents, she said they beat her, then left her in the middle of the desert. She was heartbroken for a long time in her life, spent nearly every day crying about her past. She at one point learned to focus on the happier parts of her life, moved on and found her way into the group. She wandered into the town and ran into Mantis who took her in, knowing how it feels to be cast-out and alone. Then Byte found her way into the group. Finally, Delta. The odd hologram of a dragon whose mind is in a small bracelet he brings everywhere with him. Delta wishes he could know what his parents were like, but after hearing what the others’ families were like he decided he was happy with the ‘family’ life had gifted him. “Delta, could you pass the salt?” Byte asked with a hint of politeness to her monotone. “Sure. Here.” Delta said handing her the saltshaker. She gave a nod of thanks. “I saw a scavenger this morning when I was going for my morning run!” Sol said excitedly. “Why didn’t you catch it we could have shared it.” Byte said, possibly joking but it was hard to tell with her monotone. Byte didn’t really seem to like meat other than fish too much; she usually just ate fruit at mealtimes. “Because we have a rule about eating scavengers. Remember?” Sol responded. “Didn’t Byte have the idea for the ‘no eating scavengers’ rule?” Mantis pointed out. “I think it was a joke.” Delta said. “It was?” Sol said, shocked. “You say that like I am not allowed to make jokes.” Byte said with a heavy undertone of sarcasm. “I didn’t know you made jokes.” Sol stated. “Stop making fun of Byte Sol.” Mantis said. The four discussed and ate for a little bit longer. “Delta. What to go gather some more fruit with me?” Mantis asked. “Sure.” Delta responded. Delta enjoyed Mantis’s company; she was the closest thing he had to a sister. The others were still part of Delta’s ‘family’, but Mantis was family from the day they met. Mantis opened the door for Delta. There were a variety of different vendors trying to sell items. “Specialty jewelry!” one Sandwing yelled from his small wooden stall. “Stolen goods more like.” Mantis whispered jokingly to Delta. “I know. But at least we found out that this is vital to me being alive.” he added, holding up his arm with the USB bracelet around his wrist. The Sandwing in the jewelry stall gave an upset glare at Mantis and Delta. Mantis turned down an alleyway that led into the forest.
