Untitled Fan Novel by Pixarlover112

Prologue
The moon shone over the dark land, Wing beats covered overhead. “ The animus prince!” One SkyWing soldier shouted from overhead the pines. “ He’s missing.” The SeaWings scales began to shudder. Perhaps this was a mistake, he thought. The SkyWing dragonet laid soundly in his arms. The SeaWing walked quietly through the forest, his scales brushing against fern fronds. Because he had night-vision, he was able to see exactly where he was going. The SkyWing guards who were still flying overhead were using the moon’s light to seek out the SeaWing. This of course wasn’t going to help at all due to the fact that the SeaWing was deep in the undergrowth of the forest. I must get back, He repeated to himself in his head, I must get back.
After what seemed like a lifetime of dodging gorse, rivers, Small furry creatures, and anything that could possibly make noise, he made it out of the forest. He pulled out his instructions that explained how to find the cave. Follow the river until you come across two standing stones, then fly over the small mountain until you reach the ocean, then follow the coast in the northerly direction until you find the coral reef. The cave is hidden behind the salty waterfall, He read. 
He looked around trying to find the river, he could hear the river but he couldn’t see it. That’s when he realized that the river was underneath him. He couldn't swim underneath the water since he had a SkyWing dragonet with him. He decided he would listen to the river and follow it by listening. The sound of rushing water filled his ears. This shouldn’t be too hard, he thought to himself. He started forward but as soon as he took one step he immediately lost the sound of the river. The SeaWing stepped back to where he was previously standing. All at once he could hear the water flowing in his ears. Why can’t I hear it when I walk forward?, he asked himself. He chose to dig up some of the earth and see if he could find this “mysterious” river. The dirt he was digging up was soft and not very hard to dig up, which made it easy on his tired body. Suddenly as he was digging his talons into the dirt ready to scoop up more soil, he fell forward and plummeted down into an inky black abyss. 
He now knew why the sound of the river kept disappearing. It was not just a river but a waterfall.  He lost all sense of direction as he plummeted into nothing. But he managed to stretch out his aching wings and catch a small wind that was trailing its way through the cavern. 
As he flew further into the cavern, the water splashing against his scales he began to see a dim light which helped him see a bit better. Even though he had night-vision, it was still hard to see in the cavern. He noticed the cavern walls expanded the farther he went. He then heard an ear piercing shriek that flew about the cave. He looked down and saw that the SkyWing dragonet had woken up. He managed to lul it back to sleep by singing the “Dragonets are coming” song that his mother used to sing to him when he was a small dragonet just like the SkyWing.  The light was getting much brighter in this part of the cave and before he knew it he was out of the cave and heading towards the two standing stones. He hurriedly flew past the stones and swooped over the small mountain. He then found himself at the edge of the ocean. I’ve made it!, He thought to himself. He then followed the coastline until the cave was in his vision. It was hidden behind a wall of kelp that was hanging from the sea cliffs, behind them was the cave. The SeaWing hurried toward the cave,  sheer determination flashing in his eyes. He had to keep this animus prince safe to fulfil the prophecy. The prophecy of the five animus royals.
                  
Celestial
Celestial flew around the small clearing, she could feel the wisps of wind blowing through her scales as she swept between the trees. This was how she started every morning, every day, for 5 years. Her crimson red wings brushed against the prickly branches that cascaded the clearing. She flew back into the cave where the two other Animus dragonets and herself lived. She flew through the twists and turns of the underground cavern and flew out the other side to where the ocean was. Caribbean was sitting on a craggy rock facing the ocean with a look of longing drifting across his face. For a brief moment Celestial thought that he might just fly off and leave him with the other dragonets, but instead he crawled down the rock. He approached Celestial with a faint but visible smile. “And how are we this morning ?”, “Fine, I guess” Replied Celestial. She was always fine as long as she got to fly around before all the other dragonets woke up. Caribbean nodded, “Have you been using your Animus powers recently?” Asked Caribbean. “Umm well..” Celestial trailed off. “Maybe, just a little” She finished. Caribbean sighed and shook his head, “You know that you’re not supposed to use your Animus powers” Explained Caribbean, in a stern but soft way. “I know but I feel that I have them for a reason, I could do so much good with them” She tried to explain. “I know” Agreed Caribbean, “But you do remember what happened to Albatross?” “Yes” Replied Carnelian, “ He used his Animus powers to make the Summer Palace, that was when he went mad after losing his soul….. Right?”. “Yes” Acknowledged Caribbean. “You have been listening then" He chuckled, “But you really need to try harder to not use them”. He finished. “I know” Carnelian replied, “I know”.
Carnelian walked back into the tunnel. He’s right, She thought. He’s always right. She stepped into her dormitory, she lay down on the ground just beside her bed and pushed a few boxes that were under the bed out of the way. She pulled out a large round box and opened it. Inside were all the things that she had enchanted in the past. The more recent things were at the top of the box. A wave of guilt passed as she saw Caribbean walk down the hall and into the kitchen. He’s preparing breakfast now, She thought to herself. He’s trying so hard, he sacrificed everything for us. He left the Kingdom of the Sea just so he could teach us to not use our powers. But I feel that I really could use my powers for good. Her thoughts were interrupted as Ivy, who was the RainWing Animus came flying into the room, and with a big thud landed on Celestial’s bed. “Hey watch it!” Snapped Celestial. “Whoops, sorry” Apologized Ivy. “ I didn’t mean to barge in like this” She finished. Celestial quickly shoved the Box under her bed. “Ooh whatcha got there?” Amused Ivy. “Oh nothing, just some old things of mine.” She replied. “Oh, okay!” Mused Ivy. She skipped out of the room. Thew, that was a closed one, Celestial sighed in her head. Too close. 
                
                          Ivy
Ivy was walking through the passageway that led to the dining room. As she entered the room she could see Caribbean sitting at the table crying. She ran to him and put her hand on his shoulder. “What’s wrong?” She asked him. He sighed. “ I've heard bad news from the SeaWings,” he told her miserably. “ What happened?” Ivy asked, compassion flashing in her eyes. “ The Summer Palace,” he sobbed. “ It was attacked by the SkyWings and my family-” he paused to blow his nostrils. “ They didn’t make it.” Ivy’s eyes widened. “ Oh no!,” she cried. “ That is so horrible I'm awfully sorry,” she comforted him. “ I think I need some space,” Caribbean said sadly. “ Just need to process it by myself.” Nodding with understanding, Ivy left the dining room, carrying a cow leg in her hand. She took it back to her private cave, her and Celestial were the only ones who had private caves, Celestial had her cave because she didn’t like the idea of sleeping with dragonets from other tribes, Ivy on the other hand slept in her own cave because she need suntime. Her cave was open to the sky so she could rest in the sun. Ivy leapt up onto her suntime platform and ate the cow's leg, it was tough like chewing on hardening sap and she struggled to swallow it. She lay down on her sunny platform and slept. Two hours later she awoke to hear a scream coming from the shared sleeping room. She jolted and fell off the platform and landed in a heap of white scales. Her scales turned different shades of blue as she ran down the tunnel to the sleeping cave. As Ivy stepped into the room she gasped. Her IceWing friend was lying on the ground dead. There was blue blood splattered all over the walls. There was nobody in the room except her and Caribbean. She thought she felt the wind behind her blow, she shifted her talons uneasily, what had happened here. To her friend. She examined the wounds on the IceWing, they looked like they had been done by a SandWing, they were slowly turning black. “He must have been stabbed by a SandWing” She explained to Caribbean. “I’m afraid you’re right,” He replied. Ivy only knew of one SandWing in her life. His name was Parch.
Celestial
Celestial was heading towards the dining hall when she heard Polar screaming. Her heart leaped into her throat as she raced towards the sleeping cave. She didn’t want to see what she thought she would see, images of blue blood splattered throughout her mind. As she entered the cave she saw Ivy and Caribbean standing there looking at the dead lifeless body of Polar. It was sickening. Seeing a dragon she had known her entire life lying there dead. She noticed the SandWing barb scratches on Polar’s neck. She stood there for what must have been at least 15 minutes just staring at the scarred body of Polar. She left the room, welling up with tears she walked out of the room and into the library. She was going to find out what happened to her friend. Just as she sat down at one of the studying tables Ivy and Starfish walked into the room. Starfish was the nephew of Caribbean. They came over and sat at the table. Just then Parch walked into the room all heads in the room turned instantly, Surely everyone thinks he’s the one who did it. Celestial thought. Even though Ivy, Starfish, and Herself were the only others in the room, she knew what all of them were thinking. Suddenly Ivy spoke up. “ Why did you do it?” She snapped. “What are you talking about?” He replied. “Don’t play dumb with us!” Joined Starfish, “We all know you did it”. “If you're talking about that IceWing, I’m afraid you’re mistaken, you all know that my Barb doesn't produce venom”. They all stared at each other for a brief moment, then they all looked back at Parch. “Fine, but we will all be keeping our eyes on you” They all agreed. Parch stomped his talons as he grumbled his way out the door. “We need to be very careful” Stated Celestial. “I agree” Mused Ivy, “We don’t know who killed Polar”. “Whoever killed him could kill one of us”, She finished. “It could even be one of us”, Said Starfish. Celestial shivered. She couldn’t imagine one of her friends betraying her like this. It was hard to think about. If it was one of the Animus dragons it could be someone like her, someone who had been using their powers. Just like her.
Ivy
Ivy Shivered. She hated the idea that one of her best friends could have murdered one of her friends. She was going to get to the bottom of this. No one else would die. She left the room, and walked into her private cave. She scuttled over to her bookshelf and pulled out an empty scroll. It was there she started writing a list of possible suspects. She jotted down the obvious one, Parch. Then she continued by writing Celestial, Caribbean, and Starfish. A wave of guilt enclosed around her. How could she suspect them? Why do I suspect them? She thought to herself. Surely it’s not Caribbean or Starfish? She sighed. Perhaps it’s one of the three SandWing queens? Maybe? She snorted in a huff in anger and threw the scroll across the room, just as Starfish passed her cave. He picked up the scroll which had rolled over to his talons. He picked up the scroll and rolled it out on the stone. His eyes widened as he read the list of suspects. “Why do you suspect us, you’re friends?” “You know that we wouldn't do this”. “I- I just thought there was a slight possibility that one of you could have been using your powers and- maybe one of you are losing your souls. Starfish thought about this for a moment. “Fair point,” He said finally. “Hey if you want any help with your research just ask okay!” And with that he left the room. Ivy sighed, she didn’t want any help. She wanted to do this by herself. Just in case. She slided the large stone that was used as a door to her cave, and shut herself inside. Now she could work in peace. She started to think about each dragon she had written down. Caribbean? No it can’t be, it wouldn’t be he would never kill one of his own students! He’s poured his blood sweat and tears into raising us all. The look on his face when he saw what happened to Polar implies that it wasn’t him. She abruptly scribbled out the name Caribbean. Her gaze passed to the name Celestial. I honestly don’t think she was the one who did it. She was very close with Polar, they were basically siblings. So it couldn't be her, She thought. It had to be one of her other friends. Starfish, Parch, or Swamp the MudWing. 
She rolled the boulder out of the way so she could exit her cave. She ran down the hall towards the shared cave. She was going to question Parch, Starfish, and Swamp. As she turned the last corner into the cave her heart leapt into her throat there was Swamp lying dead on the ground. His neck was shriveled and turning a nasty black color. Ivy’s stomach churned. Another one of her friends lying dead on the ground. She had to find out who was killing all of these dragons and stop them.
