Dayshifter ran through the stone hallway. He was late for the Guardian Council meeting. He entered the double doors at the end of the long hallway. Upon entering, he was immediately greeted with the stares of 50 dragonets, most of them SkyWings, but also some from other tribes of Pyrrhia. Dayshifter ducked under the doorway. He was taller than most NightWings, and had a stronger build than others. He flew to his assigned seat and watched patiently as the queen sat at the very end of the round table. 
“Hey, pssst!” the SandWing next to Dayshifter spoke.
“Shh.” Dayshifter said quietly.
“My name is Sharp! What’s yours?”
Dayshifter looked at him. Sharp was small and spindly, barely the size of a SandWing child. He looked deceptively innocent, but Dayshifters could tell that Sharp had some sort of scheme running. In the end, he sighed. He could at least give him his name.
“Dayshifter.”
Sharp smiled. Dayshifter regretted his actions immediately. Sharp continued to whisper at Dayshifter. This earned Dayshifter a few dirty looks from the other council members. 
"My friend, Quake and I were planning to go to a tavern later and-" 
"STOP. TALKING." Dayshifter yelled under his breath. Queen Agate stared directly at the two dragonets. 
"Do you have anything you'd like to say, Dayshifter?" Agate's voice sounded somewhat irritated. 
"No." 
"No, what?" 
"No, your majesty." 
"Good. Now can we continue discussing our plans for mobilization, or do you want to talk to your friend some more?" 
"He's not my- No, your majesty." Dayshifter sighed. That was a close call. He could have been kicked out of the Guardian Council. And with the threat of war on the horizon, Dayshifter didn't want to be strapped with armor and sent to a battlefield. Sharp chuckled next to him. That dragonet was going to be the death of him. 
So it was ironic that a year later, he would follow Sharp along with a third of the army. And in the following years, he would continue to follow Sharp through an endless cycle of campaign and conquest. 
== Chapter 1: Traitors ==
Dayshifter growled. He spotted the soldiers fly over them. Fortunately, a small grove of trees hid them from view. Dayshifter got up and walked over to Sharp.
"They sure do really want us dead." Sharp joked. 
"Come on. We have to get moving or else they'll find us." Dayshifter peered at the small army of dragonets. 
It had been a week since Quake's death. After the HiveWings declared war on the SkyWings, Queen Agate had formed the Guardian Council, which was in her words, "A unification of dragonets to defend against alien enemies". Yeah, right. Dayshifter snorted. The Guardian Council was nothing more than a shield from the upcoming battle. Agate executing Quake under suspicion of him being a spy only cemented this. It was actually the reason why they were all out here. SkyWings, MudWings, SandWings, and NightWings alike had followed Sharp when he had secretly announced that he would be running away to beyond Queen Agate reach's. 
That reach looked positively infinite as Dayshifter spotted another couple of sentries flying closer. 
"We'll get moving by nightfall. It'll be harder to find us. Some of us will also be practically invisible!" Sharp laughed as he poked at Dayshifter's scales. Dayshifter sighed and watched as the sentries flew over them. 
Under the cover of the night, Dayshifter and the rest of the army followed Sharp. It was tiring and cold, and more than once Dayshifter had to nudge a fellow dragonet to continue moving. Still, if they had any chance of survival, it was Sharp. 
"How much longer? I don't think we can make it much farther." Dayshifter asked Sharp, trotting up to him. 
"Don't worry, amigo." Sharp smiled as he pulled out a map. "Says here that we're here!" 
Dayshifter looked up at the small grove. It was tiny, but unoccupied. A small stream flowed from a cave and down into what was presumably the Diamond Spray Delta. Trees grew here and there, offering cover to those who needs it. Most importantly, various prey were scattered throughout the grove, hungering most of the starved dragonets. They instantly dove for the animals, shouting praise for Sharp. 
"Sharp! Sharp! Sharp!" 
Dayshifter looked at Sharp reverently. While the SandWing was only a third of his size, Dayshifter sensed that this little dragonet may have the power to change the course of the war... 
"Hey, what are you looking at me for? We should grab some prey before it's all gone!" Sharp playfully pushed Dayshifter. 
For once in his life, Dayshifter smiled. He joined his fellow dragonets as they feasted on pigs, deer, and other food. It was a joyful celebration, though like all celebrations, it was not fated to last. Soon, most of the dragonets fell asleep, with only a few keeping watch for any SkyWings. Dayshifter took this time to talk with Sharp. 
"How are you doing Sharp?" 
"We're going to be moving out tomorrow. We'll start heading to the Diamond Spray Delta." 
Dayshifter frowned. "What do you mean, "moving out?" This place is perfect to hide from Queen Agate!" 
"Look. We're in the age of war. We're going to be found eventually. We gotta start preparing ourselves for what comes next. If we can began conquering some territory, we can give ourselves some breathing room between HiveWings and Queen Agate." 
Dayshifter thought carefully about Sharp's words. Finally, he put his arm around Sharp. 
"Well, if you really want to. Just know that you have a lot of followers who's going to follow you no matter what. Me included." 
Sharp's eyes widened for a second. Then he shook his head. 
"I'm going to bed. We'll figure this out tomorrow." Sharp grinned as he laid down and began to snore. 
"We?" Sharp was already asleep. Dayshifter sighed and watched tirelessly as the moon rose high into the sky. 
== Chapter 2: Call to Arms ==
The escapees rose bright and early in the morning. They were being gathered by Sharp, who was yelling to gather near a small boulder.
"Everyone, may I have your attention please!" Sharp shouted into the air.
The dragonets encircled the rock. A sea of red, orange, yellow, brown and black surrounded the small rock upon which Sharp stood on.
"I have gathered you today, because of a call. A call to arms."
Dayshifter looked in bewilderment along with the other dragonets.
"We are faced with an issue. A war is brewing on the horizon. I know most of you are thinking, thinking that this war has nothing to do with us. But I disagree. This war that we are facing, it isn't just a war. It's stronger than the War of SandWing Succession. This is a war across two continents. This war, that we are facing, is coming to us. All of us. Every. Single. Dragonet. So I ask of you. Pick up your arms. Spread your wings. Be prepared for this greatest calamity that our entire world will have to face. Now lies one more question. Are you with me?"
A deafening silence hit the crowd. Then it began. A single clap. It roared into a thunderous applause, with many dragons hollering, "Sharp! Sharp! Sharp!"
Sharp looked around him. Dayshifter was right. He had a loyal army that would follow him, even to the deepest parts of Pyrrhia. 
"Then we have much to do." Sharp said as he leapt down from the rock and began to explain his plan to the others.

It had been a year since that fateful day. Dayshifter thought to himself as he entered the small tent.
