Epilogue of a story I'm writing

== Prologue ==
Maple rushed along a small creek, dodging the carnivorous plants and splotches of quicksand until she finally arrived at her destination. The nest was a small dome that was covered in soft, dry grass. She could see that both eggs were still intact and sighed with relief. Maple walked over to the nest and peered inside. There seemed to be a small crack on the top of the eggshell that seemed to follow a stripe of dark brown. 
  The dragonet inside this egg was definitely ready to come out. But the other mahogany and lime green egg looked to be completely still, and Maple let her veins fill with dread. These are the first baby dragons since the tree wars. She thought. The LeafWings cannot afford to lose any dragonets at all.
  Maple decided to focus on the one that was beginning to hatch and failed to notice the venus dragon trap moving in on her. But at the last second she sensed the movement and whipped around to see that both guards were gone and she felt a sick feeling when she noticed two bulging plants on either side of her with a smug aura. 
  She felt rage boil up inside her and opened up her leafspeak. “Leave my dragonets alone!” she hissed with such fury that the plant couldn’t seem to answer. “Go die in a hole for all I care.” She said as the carnivorous plant backed up to its previous spot. “And as for you two,” Maple said pointing to the bulging dragon traps, “Drop those dragons NOW.” Instead of obeying they retorted “but foooooooooood.” 
  Maple used all her rage and power to send a thought of her slashing them again and again until they dropped to the jungle floor, dead. They immediately spit the guards out and retreated back into the overgrowth. 
   She glowered down at the soldiers on the ground. “Go tell Her Majesty that there will need to be an extermination mission for venus fly traps around this area.” she barked at the confused LeafWings. They bowed their heads and flew off to the treehouse that was under construction on the other side of the jungle.
  Then, she turned back to the nest and saw a dragonet eye peeking out from one of the racks in the active egg’s shell. Maple gasped and the little LeafWing popped it’s head out of the top and declared “GWOLLGRRRH.” 
  She watched in awe as it climbed out and spread its leaf-shaped wings out wide and squealed with joy as they reached the morning sun. There were slight veins of pink on the tip of her tail and a beautiful brown and dark green scale pattern down her back.
  The pink on her tail looked like a lilac in the golden sun. “Lilac!” Maple exclaimed. “That’s your name! Lilac!” The dragonet put on a goofy grin and repeated. “WY-WACK!” 
  While Lilac kept repeating her name, nobody noticed the soft crack and the dark green dragonet that tumbled out. “Erk?” It called. Maple felt her joy double as she slowly turned around and saw the wide smile on the dragonet’s face. Maple matched that smile. “Hello Aspen.” The calm dragonet closed its eyes and all around her, flowers began to bloom.
