== The Sandwing Animus Prophecy: ==
Wings of magic, Shall arise
While unknown secrets, Still survive
For the one with power hidden in her talons
And the one with the amulet of hidden talents
While others cower in the night
Two will be born to fight
Shall they be enemies, or friends
Although their destiny, shall never end
The talons of magic and unknown possibilities
And the amulet of many dangerous abilities...
== Chapter one: Awakening ==
All around the tiny dragonet was darkness. She heard voices, though the quiet hum of the warmth inside the egg was comforting, she felt a calling--almost as if she was meant to break free. She wiggled inside the prison of her egg, trying to break down the walls. Suddenly, The shell splintered apart and light came crashing down on her. A pair of SandWings stared down at her. The female whom the dragonet thought might be her mother shook who must have been her father. `` Look! It's hatched! `` Her mother exclaimed, little fireballs of emotions sparked through her parents eyes. The tiny dragonet peered up at her parents. ``Arrrkkk?`` She tried. Her father tilted his head-As if he was examining her. `` She almost looks like a beetle. `` He observed. Her mother's eyes widened at that. `` Yes! We can call her Beetle! `` Beetle's ears thrummed with all this new information, her head ached. Beetle stood up on her shaking legs--It took four tries just to stop her legs from shaking as she stumbled over to her parents, Peering up into their loving faces with a curiosity. `` Mwom?`` She whispered, then tried again. ``Mom?`` She squinted up into the endless pit of black with hints of dark blue in which was her mothers eyes.
She squeaked, stumbling back into her eggshell and curling up. Beetles tiny wings drooped as her tail curled around to rest on her talons. She let her head fall, sleep took hold of her at once. And before she was dragged into the darkness, she thought-though it was more emotions then actual thoughts, it was the feeling of being loved..
== Chapter two: Discovery ==
Beetle sorted through the mess of scrolls, hissing through her teeth as multiple scrolls fell to the ground, she reached down to pick them up-and of course her tail had to hit the stupid old shelf that was holding all the other scrolls up. She felt anger surge through her as the shelf collapsed in a heap of scrolls to the floor. ``OH COME ON! Why don't you just float back to your stupid perch on the wall?!`` Beetle yelled, kicking the nearest scroll. But she stopped as suddenly, the shelf did as she said-it floated right back onto the wall. Her eyes widened. No, I'm probably just imagining things- but what if it's real? I should try something else.. Thought Beetle, she glanced down at the floor, which was now covered in a blanket of scrolls. ``I order every scroll that fell from that shelf to fly over to the shelf in a single file line and stay on the shelf`` She tried, disbelief crawling through her as the scrolls did as she commanded. I'm an animus?! She thought wonderingly, but her amazement was shattered as she heard her mom call her. ``BEETLE!!! HURRY UP, YOUR GOING TO BE LATE FOR YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!`` Her mom's horribly loud voice echoed all the way to Beetle's ears. Beetle sighed, picking her way to her mother.
== Chapter three: The Academy ==
The wind swarmed around Beetle's wings as it carried her through the cloudless, overwhelmingly sunny sky. She tilted her wings at just the right angle to glide with the wind, though she still stuck behind her mother. She watched as Jade Mountain loomed over them, the closer they got, the larger the mountain seemed to get. A feeling of dread crawled down her spine. What if I'm not smart enough? What if no one likes me? She shoved away those thoughts to a corner in her brain, Her eyes widening as she realized her mother was landing already.
Beetle and her mother huddled together under the tree, Beetle's mom had insisted they wait for one of her friends. Beetle had agreed reluctantly, Not very excited to be standing right outside the school when she could just go inside and get this all over with. She took a scroll in which her mother had brought her, smiling when she read the title.: Animus History. Her mother knew this was her favorite, and, she would need it now that she knew she was an animus. She watched as an Icewing stormed through the entrance, she had an amulet that contained an ocean blue crystal, it had shimmers of purple and gold as well. Beetle looked the Icewing up and down. Who is she?? The Icewing had blueish-purple scales instead of the usual Icewing white, and she had dark blue, stubborn looking eyes that said: Don't talk to me, I'm in a mood. 
Beetle watched as her mother's friend, a Nightwing named StarryFate walked towards them, Beetle's tail barb curled dangerously and she narrowed her eyes. StarryFate had an aggravatingly slow voice, and just gave you vibes that screamed: I'm evil! I'm going to kill anyone that disrespects my queen or gets in my way! ``Hello, Viper.`` StarryFate hissed slowly, her eyes seemed to watch Beetle closely, as if she was the evil dragon. Beetle's tail lashed and she glared at StarryFate angrily, she imagined stabbing her tail barb into their throat, somehow managing to contain the smile that wanted to snake across her face. A flash of blue-purple scales caught her eye, the Icewing was in those trees, this was her chance to get to know someone, she crept away from her mother. 
== Chapter four: Meeting ==
Thorns stabbed at her scales as she squeezed through a bush, the Icewing was not far away now. Is this smart? Mom's most likely going to kill me, what would this Icewing do if they found out I was spying on them?? Beetle shuddered as she pictured a blindingly white frostbreath being sprayed all over her scales. Beetle glanced around, the Icewing had disappeared. Where in the moons did she go? And then Beetle felt an icy chill spread along her scales as serrated claws dug in between her scales. A tail lashed from behind her. ``Who are you, And why were you following me?`` A voice hissed into her ears. Beetle glanced up, already knowing whom it was. What a nice way to meet someone. Thought Beetle as she opened her mouth. ``I'm Beetle, And this is a cool way to meet a classmate. Heh, No pun intended.`` Beetle said jokingly, she felt the icy talons lift off of her scales a little bit. ``Not funny, But anyways, I'm Crystal.`` Crystal said, and, after a second she hopped off of Beetle. Beetle clambered to her feet, flashing Crystal a toothy grin. ``I still say it's hilarious.`` Beetle said, amusement sparked like tiny flames inside of Crystal's eyes. Beetle shook herself off, sending dirt and crawly things flying. Crystal jumped back with an alarmed yelp. ``Hey! Some of us DON'T want to end up looking like a mud monster! I personally like the non-dirty-kind-of-scales.`` She muttered the last bit. Beetle sat down, spreading out her wings and letting all the dirt and stuff fall off. ``Kind of hard to be a clean-scales-freak when you get attacked and shoved into DIRT for NO REASON AT ALL!`` Beetle said grudgingly as dirt clung onto her talons. ``Well, I wouldn't have attacked you if you hadn't been FOLLOWING ME!`` Crystal retorted. Beetle shrugged. I guess that was a little weird--I could've probably just met her inside. ``Have you met my mother? She's so boring I needed to sneak away.`` Then Beetle wrinkled up her snout, rembering what her mother had said. ``No, We must stay here to wait for Ms. Boring.`` She imitated her mother almost perfectly, Beetle and Crystal burst out into giggles. ``Can you stop making me smile and laugh so much? Icewing are not supposed to-`` Crystal began as Beetle interrupted her. ``Yes, we all know, Icewings are supposed to be so much more superior then other tribes. You have no idea how many Icewings have said that.`` Beetle said with a grin. Crystal sighed. ``We're either going to end up great friends or great enemies, aren't we, Beetle?`` Beetle shrugged. 
== Chapter five: Secrets ==
Beetle and Crystal walked inside together, Crystal's amulet bounced against her chest. The crystal inside it glowed in the light. Beetle's tail swished and dragons jumped out of its way. Murmurs went through the halls, as if no one else had made friends with another tribe yet. Beetle ducked her head and tried to avoid the stares, Crystal just stood up straighter. I wish I could be THAT confident. Beetle thought with a sigh, her shoulders sunk and her wings drooped. Her eyes caught the glow of Crystal's amulet, which seemed to be moving without anyone touching it, the gold-purple tints inside of it glimmered. ``Hey, Does your amulet do anything?`` Beetle whispered to Crystal, Crystal seemed to suddenly get nervous at that question, she shook her head softly. ``Nope, My mother gave me it before..`` Crystal cut herself off, and Beetle felt curiosity crawl through her, but she simply nodded. If I get her suspicious, Then she will never tell me anything. I need to ask small questions about it, Hopefully the more she knows me the more she'll tell me. Beetle thought as they walked into what would be their winglet's cave, Crystal handed her a scroll. ``This is our winglet, we're the jade winglet, so far not everyone is here.`` Beetle squinted at the tiny names, so far it only said Sandwing:Beetle Icewing:Crystal Huh, I wonder who else will be in our winglet. Beetle thought wonderingly as Crystal rolled up the scroll and put it away. 
== Chapter six: Kaylin ==
``Hey, lets go to the prey center, I hear dragons yelling.`` Crystal told Beetle, whom was snuggled onto the sandiest part of the cave reading Animus History. Beetle nodded silently, quickly putting away her scroll and hurrying after Crystal. ``Are we sure this is a good idea?`` Beetle asked. Crystal simply shrugged and picked up the speed. I wonder why I have a feeling we're going to get kicked out of school on the first day. Beetle thought sarcastically as they burst into the prey center. ``Holy Moons!`` Beetle exclaimed. A female scavenger was running around, she had wide, weird lavender eyes and long, brown hair, oh, and it was running STRAIGHT AT HER. Beetle watched as the scavenger tripped, falling onto Beetle. Beetle stared down, the scavenger stared up, then Beetle picked up the scavenger and put it between her wings. She stood defiantly, glaring around at everyone whom had been chasing the scavenger. ``NO ONE HARMS IT!`` Beetle roared, disgusted mutters went through the crowd as they all stalked away. The scavenger's cool hands felt weird against her scales, the scavenger probably felt the heat radiating off her. She grabbed the scavenger, turned, and stomped away to her winglet's cave. I told Crystal it was a bad idea!! This is all HER fault! But then another thought whispered through her. But if I hadn't come, this scavenger would be dead... 
Once Beetle reached the cave, she felt the scavenger reach up and tap her. ``You can put me down now.`` Beetle gasped once she realized whom had said that.. ``Wait--You can talk?!`` Beetle tilted her head. ``Stop examining me like I'm some kind of experiment. And don't call me it, I'm Kaylin.`` She said. Beetle set Kaylin down with a sigh. ``I'm Beetle.`` Beetle said awkwardly arranging herself into the sandy area. ``Beetle? Why would your parent's name you Beetle? You look nothing like a Beetle!`` Kaylin replied. ``Because of my size, and these weird dark yellow and dark gold scales all over me.`` Beetle said with a helpless shrug. The two stood there for a bit in silence, then Kaylin whispered. ``Why did you save me?``
== Chapter seven: Reasons ==
Beetle opened her mouth, then closed it as a Rainwing walked in with their nose buried in a scroll. Beetle managed to catch a glimpse of the title: Tribe History. Beetle blinked, normally Rainwings would be reading about fruit and rainbows. Needs further study, she looks like any Rainwing. But she may be smarter then the others. Beetle thought with curiosity surging through her mind. She watched as the Rainwing curled up into the hammock and continued to read the scroll. Beetle was surprised, how did she just ignore the scavenger? She flinched as she felt the smooth skin of Kaylin's hand as they clambered up her back. She flicked her tail as a cold rush of air swept through the room as Crystal walked in. She whispered to Kaylin. ``Look, I-I feel like scavengers are smarter then we think. And-I think your a lot like me-In scavenger form.`` She lowered her voice as Crystal's head leaned closer-As if trying to hear what she was saying. Kaylin's hand lifted up and Beetle heard what she thought was fidgeting. She glanced at Crystal's amulet, then at her own talons. I need to find out what that amulet does...I'll wait for her to sleep. She squinted back at the Rainwing, whom seemed to have felt her stare and now stared back. ``Who are you?``
== Chapter eight: Tangelo ==
The Rainwing was dark green with yellow and purple splotches and had bits of orange. She had green eyes and a long, prehensile tail. And she was also quite small. ``I'm Tangelo.`` They replied, looking towards the scroll as if wondering whether or not to go back to reading it. Beetle's tail came to rest on her tail, her stinger pointed at Crystal. They may be my friend, but I still don't trust them. She thought. ``I'm Beetle,`` She said. ``And this is Crystal.`` She flicked her wing at Crystal, who's amulet thumped against her chest as she walked over to join them. Beetle grinned at Crystal, whom's eyes glimmered with small acknowledgement but otherwise Crystal ignored her. Beetle frowned. What is she hiding now? She jumped as she realized Tangelo had quietly hopped down from the hammock and sat with them on the cool, hard stone ground. ``Why do you have a scavenger on your back?`` Crystal asked, and Beetle realized she must be able to see Kaylin. ``It's a long story.`` Beetle said, self-consciousness towers crumbling down in her mind. What if someone eats Kaylin? What if dragons think I'm stupid? Beetles worries hovered in her mind- she shoved them away, angry at herself for those thoughts. She was smart. And if someone ate Kaylin, she would enchant them to disembowel themselves. Tangelo was tilting her head at Kaylin. ``What's its name,`` She said. ``I mean-Like-Can you understand it or something?`` Crystal snorted. ``It's a scavenger, Tangelo! Next you'll say it's--`` She was cut off by Kaylin. ``For your info, I can talk. And most dragons think 'Oh, it's just a scavenger, what a tasty, tiny little snack. They act like we can't think, that we don't have feelings. They act like we aren't even an living thing, Like a little pebble. But no, we are more powerful then most dragons think, our emotions are stronger. We are a very...complicated species.`` Then she glared at Crystal, fury flaming up like a bonfire in her eyes. ``We killed the Sandwing queen. We created powerful weapons strong enough to take you down in one hit. Don't be like other dragons. You may be large, strong, and scary. But we are clever, cunning, and dangerous.`` Kaylin scowled, her eyes cold as she stared into Crystal's eyes. Crystal blinked, then she stormed out of the room.
== Chapter nine: Betrayal ==
Beetle faced Tangelo. ``Come on! We have to follow her!`` She yelled, racing out of the cave. She almost jumped as she saw Tangelo right beside her. She could have just got back to her scroll, but she came with me. I'll probably need her help, she seems very smart. I thought Rainwings were stupid- or at least that's what the scrolls say. Are they wrong? Or is Tangelo just...Different? Beetle's mind thought, she was so focused on her thoughts that she was shocked when Tangelo grabbed her, stopping her as she stared ahead. Crystal was showing off her amulet, everyone was touching it, their eyes glittering with awe. Crystal must have heard Beetle and Tangelo, for she turned around with a smile, but there was something...off. ``Ah! Everyone, I must talk to Beetle and Tangelo, please, go enjoy some food in the prey center.`` Beetle felt bemusement as everyone seemed to obey Crystal. Crystal stopped, her amulet had always been glittery, but there was one thing about it. Why is it-glowing??? Crystal walked over to them. ``Beetle! Would you like to touch it?`` Beetle nodded, reaching out her talons-Crystal's eyes glittered with triumph, yet that triumph switched to dismay as Beetle was yanked back, Tangelo's scales rippled angry red. ``Don't touch it! It does something! I don't know what, but probably something bad!`` Tangelo yelled. Crystal looked angry for a second-then a cold, calculating smile spread across her snout. ``My oh my, what a clever little Rainwing. Oh how useful you could be under my control though.`` Crystal seemed to let each word slice the air like a sharp claw. Beetle felt something tearing at her heart-betrayal? Disbelief? She raised her tail-barb dangerously, Crystal chuckled. ``What will touch first? Your tail-barb through me? Or my amulet controlling you?`` It took Beetle a second to remember Kaylin was there until she felt a smooth yet rough hand tighten around her. ``Maybe I'll control your little Kaylin to be my pet.`` Crystal's tail flicked, her grin getting bigger as her amulet swayed. Tangelo called over to Beetle. ``Don't let the amulet touch you!`` Beetle nodded, her wings tucking in as she did the stance her mother had taught her. I hope she wasn't lying about this stance making you jump further. she pushed that thought away, and leaped at Crystal.
== Chapter ten: Fight ==
She soared over Crystal, landing on her back neatly. Knowing she had no time to recover before Crystal reacted, she dug her claws into Crystal's back. ``I trusted you!`` Beetle yelled angrily, her tail advancing towards Crystal's wing. Wait--Why am I fighting her? I could just enchant something to attack her. Beetle leaped off Crystal, landing next to Tangelo and snarling. ``Well, what a stupid mistake you made.`` Crystal smiled innocently. ``I ENCHANT A BROOM TO APPEAR AND SMACK CRYSTAL UNTIL SHE BECOMES UNCONCIOUS!!`` Beetle roared, her tail lashing and almost scraping across Tangelo, who blinked in surprise. Crystal's smile faded as her expression turned to one of pure shock. ``Wha-`` Crystal was cut off as a broom the size of her arm appeared and began to continuously smack her. Crystal stumbled forward, and with a hideous CRACK the broom splintered in half, snapping into Crystal's face. Crystal collapsed, a million splinters all over her scales, taking in heavy breaths, she closed her eyes, going limp. Kaylin clambered down from Beetle's back, touching Crystal gingerly with a finger. Suddenly, Tangelo cut in. ``Why are you wearing that sweater? It's way to big for you.`` Kaylin looked at Tangelo, then said. `` I like wearing oversized sweaters. Not just because they're extremely comfy and cuddly, but because whenever the sleeves are really big, I get to flop them around and smack people.`` Beetle burst out into giggles, Tangelo was clearly trying to hold hers in. Kaylin smacked Beetle in the wing with her sleeve. ``Come on! We've got some evil-evilness to fight!`` 
== Chapter eleven: Search ==
``Okay...So...Easy, right? Just find something that can-well-be able to make dragons no longer under Crystals control.`` Tangelo said, her wings tips twitched. Beetle shrugged. ``Or this ANIMUS RIGHT HERE could enchant something.`` Beetle pointed at herself. Kaylin yelped. ``Stop jumping around like a kangaroo!`` Beetle snorted. ``We shouldn't waste your soul.`` Tangelo said, lifting a talon.
