The Last Keeper

This fanfiction is by jadetheseawing3. I had a bizarre glitch and lost most of the story, so still in the process of rewriting what I lost. 
== Prologue ==
The darkness of the Kingdom of Sand at night helped soothe Peril’s nerves as she flew over the pale gold desert, her wings making arcs in the silent air. The eerie fourth moon was retreating back into the vortex of the sky and stars.
Peril looked down and winced. Thorn had let her wash her claws in the Outclaw pool, but it took everything within Peril not to ask what she wanted to ask- Peril wanted badly to be an Outclaw. But now, she guessed, that Thorn was queen, it wasn’t really down to her anymore.
Peril felt hot tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
Why are crying, stupid SkyWing? Because of Clay? He’ll never love you, Scarlet said so. 
Yes, a more rebellious part of her challenged, but Scarlet made you murder dragons for her entertainment. Who cares what she says? 
Peril struggled to remember Clay’s parting words in the Outclaw den.
“Sunny is building a school for dragonets-”
And at that, Tsunami punched Clay in the ribs.
So go to his little friend’s school and learn about love, Peril thought. As she was thinking, her tail clipped a thorny bush. Peril gasped in astonishment as the plant wilted and died beneath her tail. I can’t go! 
Peril flew on over the desert, up towards the Jade Mountains and then the Sky Kingdom.
She nearly dropped out of the sky in excitement when she had her next idea. The Talons of Peace! But wait, they’ll have disbanded now, won’t they? The war is over, the prophecy is fulfilled, the dragonets are home, and everyone lived happily ever after. Except me, the SkyWing nobody wants. 
Peril looked up.
The fourth moon was now a distant spot on the horizon, while the three moons familiar to Peril hung directly overhead. She’d been flying for days now. She needed rest.
Peril angled down towards the desert, aiming for a tree, but only earning herself a bruising tumble across the sand, and bits of flaky sand in between her scales.
“OK,” she said aloud, “Rest for a bit. When you wake up, keep flying.”
And Peril fell into a deep sleep.
== Chapter One ==
“Is it alive?”
Cleo felt the sensation of claws and wings hovering over her.
“No, don’t touch it, Chalet!” another voice butted in. “It might be dangerous.”
It? 
Cleo had suffered years of ‘goldie, foreigner, killer, sociopath, horrifying, dangerous, wild’, but ‘it’ was the lowest of the low. Who did these dragons think they were?
“Quickly, Stormwatch, hide it!” a new voice hissed.
“But Jaaaaddde,” the one who called her ‘it’ said. “I want to study it!”
“Quiet, Stormwatch,” the voice named Jade said again. “The Outclaws are coming.”
“Outclaws?” a new voice spluttered. “Why haven’t we fled yet?”
