== Prologue ==
Marigold chuckled as her dragonet, Amaranth, squealed in delight as mangoes were served for dinner. "Mangoes!!!!" She shrieked. "Yay!!!!" Marigold peeled a mango and handed it to her daughter, who sank her tiny teeth into it quicker than you could say "shark."
Saffron came around the corner and laughed. "Ay, our little barracuda munching on a delightful feast of mangoes." He came over to Marigold and nudged her wing. Marigold smiled. The moment was interrupted when a series of quick knocks came from their door. 
Marigold looked at Saffron and said, "I'll go get it." She walked over to the door, and opened it. 
No dragon was there, but instead, a tiny bundle sat on their porch with a note. She picked it up. Whatever it was squirmed a little. She closed the door and brung it back into the house. "I found this." She set it down and picked up the note. "You should read it." Saffron said gently. "Okay." Marigold said. She opened the note and started reading. 
" I know you're probably wondering why I left a tiny dragonet by your door. I just knew you were the match for him. I saw you and your family laughing and having fun, and I made the choice to leave him in your care. I hope you understand that he was everything to me, and I hope he will be everything to you. Sincerely, a dragon." She finished. Tears were in her eyes as she looked to the bottom. "PS: Sorry if you wanted to name him, but his name is Epsilon." She read. 
Amaranth looked at the bundle. "Brother?" She asked. "Yes, he's your brother." Marigold replied. She opened the bundle and a small green SilkWing dragonet lay there, asleep. "Has anyone figured out we live on Phyrria, and not Pantala?" Saffron asked. "I don't know." Marigold replied, cradling the dragonet. 
Amaranth grabbed a piece of mango and put it in front of Epsilon's nose. Epsilon yawned, opened his eyes, and snatched the mango. "Yim." He said to Amaranth, taking a bite out of the mango. Amaranth smiled. "Epsilon." She said. Marigold looked at Epsilon. 
"Yes, Epsilon. The newest member of our family." Marigold said as Epsilon finished the mango and fell asleep, again.
== Chapter 1: ==
    Epsilon started packing things in his satchel. It was almost midday, and he had to hurry. The first session would start any minute now. He was part of a club, and it was important that nobody was late to any of the sessions. 
  He packed that large semi-sticky silk ball Amaranth made him for his birthday, his guide to healing plants, his collection of dried herbs, a pot, and water. 
    Amaranth was a year and a half older than him, so she had gone through a normal metamorphosis already. A month ago, she had got out of the cocoon, and was enjoying flying with her big flappy wings and tying him in bed at night with her silk. He would have to call for help until his mom came and cut him out. 
  Epsilon closed his satchel and got going. Sadly, Epsilon would have to wait another year and a half for his wings to come, but he was fine with what he had now. He skirted out of the door, and found the entrance of the trail. He looked up at the sun. It was noon. I'm going to be late!He thought and dashed down the trail. 
 He skidded to a halt when he ran into Omega, who was beginning to close the gate. Omega looked at Epsilon. "Just in time. Come on in!" He said, the boulder halfway closed over the entrance hole to the camp. "Thanks!" Epsilon said and walked through the door.  He turned around and waited for Omega, who followed him trough and closed the door on the other side. 
    Epsilon turned back around and saw the whole camp staring at him expectantly. "You made it." Alpha said. "Yeah, I did." Epsilon replied, and strode to join the camp. Everyone had profession here, and they taught one another things, like classes in a school. 
  Alpha was the leader, so he directed the camp in what they did each day. The NightWing's glossy black scales shone in the midday sunlight as Epsilon sat next to him, waiting to hear who was teaching today. 
  Alpha stood up to address the gathered company. "Today's lessons start with Iota with botany, then Omega with preparedness, and finishing, I will teach about the tribes and geography. “ Alpha said and sat down. 
 Iota, their RainWing, got up and spoke. “Today we will be studying plants around the base, then finding which plants will do well inside our biosphere.” She walked towards the west gate. Everyone stood up and followed. “Now,” Iota began, “I will separate you into groups of three. First, Rho, Alpha, and Omega, will go together. Then, Eta, Delta, and Beta will go. Lastly, Gamma, Sigma, and Epsilon will be a group. I expect you to return here with your findings. Now, go.” 
    Everyone streamed through the west gate. Once Epsilon was out, he waited for Gamma and Sigma. 
  Gamma strode up to join him. She was a navigational expert, and taught them how to find their way through the jungle. This required getting lost, so most of the club members thought that it was the one of the best class. 
    Sigma wasn’t far behind. He taught self defense, but he was extremely snappy, so he wasn’t a favorite.
  Once all three of them were together, Epsilon asked, “What now?” Sigma scowled. “How am I supposed to know?” He muttered. 
  “I know a spot around here full of plants.” Gamma commented. “Okay, lead the way.” Epsilon replied. 
 Sigma grumbled about something, while Gamma took to the sky. “Wait! I don’t have wings, remember?” He yelped after her. Gamma paused. “Okay, then I’ll carry you.” She soared down and picked up Epsilon, who surprisingly didn’t cause too much strain for Gamma, and Sigma flew off after them. 
  Epsilon would have rather liked to walk, but they were already in the air, and he didn’t want to cause any trouble. Gamma soared down to a hole in the canopy, and landed. 
    Epsilon was trying to get his bearings when Sigma landed right next to him, the wind making him fall again. Sigma snorted. “Seriously. That was nothing next to the winds we had in the Ice Kingdom. Learn how to stand, SilkWing.” He snapped. Epsilon felt a little bit hurt, but he got up again and surveyed their surroundings. 
  Gamma hadn’t been lying about it being full of plants. Bushes, trees, and shrubs filled the area. 
    Sigma went to inspect a frosty white vine. “This will do.” He said, digging it out of the ground. 
“Wait!” Gamma called. “That might be poisonous. This one is better.” She pointed to a long, green, spindly vine traced with purple, and dug it up. 
    Epsilon had found a baby rose bush, so he got that. “Roses?” Gamma asked. “Those have thorns.” Epsilon shrugged. “I like it. Plus we’ll have roses blooming in the spring.” He replied. 
  Sigma was already in the air, and Gamma handed Epsilon her plant. “Be careful. It might fall.” She warned, and before Epsilon could object, grabbed him and took off. 
  The wind whipped on his face as they returned to the camp. Epsilon was dropped off near the entrance, and he handed Gamma her plant. Gamma did one sharp nod and headed inside. Sigma, landing next to him, snorted and went after Gamma. Epsilon followed.
    Iota looked up from a hole she was digging and said, “Yay! You’re back!” Then, realizing that she was supposed to sound like a teacher, she corrected with "Oh. You finished your assignment." Then she laughed. “It’s hard to tell you guys to do stuff. What have you got?” Iota asked. 
  They showed her their plants. “They’re not poisonous. You can plant the over there.” She said, pointing to three holes she had dug earlier, with piles of dirt next to them so they could cover their plants with soil. 
  Epsilon put his rose bush in one hole, taking care that a single leaf didn’t get shoved under the soil. Gamma was doing hers more quickly, but Sigma gave a scowl at the dirt and did a really sloppy job of planting his vine. 
    When Epsilon finished, he looked up to find Beta planting her plant, a lilac, next to him. 
  Beta was the second-in-command, so she usually took things over when Alpha was gone or busy. Since their scouts decided to teach other things, she took the job of teaching scouting. 
  “Is everyone back?” Epsilon asked her. “Yeah.” Beta replied, keeping her eyes on her work. He walked back to the circle around the campfire and waited for everyone to come over. 
    Gamma and Sigma joined him shortly after they finished planting, with Gamma giving Sigma a lesson on how to plant properly. 
    Everyone gathered around the fire, which was out, to have Omega conduct their next meet. “Okay!” He announced. “Today we will be practicing our stranger drill. Meet at the Pine Clearing.” 
    Everyone streamed out of the north gate as they headed for the clearing. Epsilon dashed through the woods, streaking here and there. 
    A bright flash of green in the sunlight startled him, so he slowed down and realized it was his own scales. He sped up and ran for the clearing. He walked in, and realized everyone was there already.
 Omega acknowledged that everyone was here, and clapped once. Everybody scrambled to hide somewhere. 
  Epsilon climbed up a tree and hid in the foliage. He saw Gamma dive into a bush, and Omega and Alpha run into the trees next to him. 
  They stayed still for a few minutes, and when Omega was going to do the signal for everyone to come out, a voice called “Hello?” 
    Epsilon froze. He didn’t recognize the voice. He looked at Omega, who was on the right side of him, and saw that this wasn’t training now. This was a real experience. 
  A NightWing came into view, looking into the trees. “I know you’re somewhere. A group of dragonets that train and look like they can do an assignment. So i’ve got one for you. Just come down and I’ll tell you.” 
  Nobody moved a muscle. The NightWing padded around the clearing. “I need you. You have no idea how important this is. It could change the world.”
  Still, nobody moved. “Please.” He pleaded. “You could save countless dragons.”
 At that sentence, Epsilon heard a rustling next to him. He turned his head in that direction and saw Alpha getting ready to spring down. 
    Epsilon shook his head, but it was too late. Alpha bounded onto the forest floor. The NightWing, a little startled with his sudden appearance, turned to face him. 
  Alpha cleared his throat. “If it comes to saving dragons, then we’ll help.” Alpha clapped twice, the signal for come. Nobody moved an inch. Alpha clapped twice again, and gave a stern look at a tree, where Omega was. Nobody moved still. 
  He turned back to the NightWing. “Well, my team may need to warm up a little, but they’ll cooperate.” The NightWing nodded. “Meet me at this clearing tomorrow morning, and we’ll get started.” The NightWing said. Alpha nodded. “And, call me Codebreaker.” The NightWing said, and flew off. When Codebreaker was far away, Omega clapped three times, and everyone came out of their hiding spot.
    Sigma strode up to Alpha, growling. “Why did you get out of your hiding place?” He asked, glaring. Alpha tipped his head up and answered, “Dragons could be saved. It was necessary.” 
  Sigma stood up on his hind legs and roared. “You endangered the team!” He growled. Alpha rose to Sigma’s height. “So I endangered the team, eh? You can’t protect it!” He yelled back. 
    This is the worst fight since we got lost one scouting expedition. Epsilon thought, backing away from the arguing dragons. 
    Sigma dropped down to his normal height. “So I can’t protect it. The only one who says that..... is you!” Sigma roared and clamped his jaws on Alpha’s wing.      
      Alpha tried scratching him off, and Sigma detached, only to pounce again. Alpha shot a burst of flame at Sigma. It singed his shoulder, but that only made Sigma more mad. 
    Sigma charged and slammed into him. Alpha opened his jaws to bite, and Sigma, who had been preparing this all this time, shot frostbreath into his face.    
  Alpha twisted out of the way, but not before Sigma stabbed his underbelly. Alpha roared in pain, and bit Sigma’s shoulder. 
  Sigma roared and shot frostbreath at his underbelly. The two dragons roiled and thrashed, and Epsilon couldn’t remove his eyes from the fight. 
  Suddenly, he felt a soft tapping on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Iota grab his shoulder and directed him away from the fight. 
    When they were out of earshot of the fight, Iota let go. “Is everyone else back at the base?” Epsilon asked. 
    “Yeah.” Iota said softly. “Beta is cheering everyone up. Let’s go.” She walked off in the direction of the camp, and Epsilon followed. 
      When they arrived, everyone was scattered across the camp, chatting and eating some provisions. Iota went to the fire, and Epsilon followed. 
    Epsilon curled around the fire, shivering. Beta called, “Okay, everyone, we’re going home early because of the incident that happened. Meet you tomorrow at midday!” As they heard this, everyone got up and headed for the gates. 
  Epsilon trotted home, wondering what the mysterious NightWing would mean for the group. Is he truly going to save dragons?Epsilon thought. 
    Sigma stabbing Alpha’s underbelly flashed through his head. Or is he going to break them apart?
