A few months ago...
Oasis watched the sky, looking for any signs of an IceWing or a SeaWing. She stayed so completely still, the only sign that she was still alive was the occasional blink. The cave walls around her were dimly lit with torches, but the entrance was bright at this time of day.
“Oasis? Are you okay?” asked the sky dragon next to her, waving his red talons in her face.
“Of course I’m okay, Cloud!” she snapped, turning towards the SkyWing. He flinched slightly at her words, and she sighed, turning back to the sky.
“Sorry. Just, I’m worried about them. They haven’t come back yet.” she said, scanning the sky once again.
“Blizzard and Hurricane? I wouldn’t be worried about them. They can take care of themselves.” replied Cloud.
“Cloud, shut it! Sanctuary isn’t that far away. Somebody could hear us!” hissed Starwatcher, glaring at him.
It was true. Sanctuary was only a short flight away from the cave, the cave itself being situated near the Diamond Spray River. But nobody would hear them. Starwatcher was acting paranoid, as always.
Oasis got up from her perch and turned around, studying her group. Sometimes she wondered whether it was a good idea to bring this team together. They were always bickering and arguing with each other, and none of them were very professional. Cloud was naïve and not very careful, while Starwatcher was suspicious and paranoid of practically everything. Blizzard, despite voluntarily giving up her life as an aristocrat, still acted like she was the boss of everyone, and Hurricane was aggressive and impulsive. The only one even remotely impressive was Mire. But then again, the large MudWing didn't really talk much.
She opened the box at her side, relishing the glint of the four gems nestled comfortably inside it.
Then again, they aren’t that bad.
She closed the box and put it safely in her pouch, as a sea-green SeaWing and a pale blue IceWing landed at the entrance of the cave. Both had sacks slung over their shoulders, filled with gold, Oasis assumed. Gold and the two other gems.
"Perfect. Pack up everyone, we're moving to Sanctuary." she called.
==Chapter 1==
Sandstone sat at his chair, glaring at the five dragons around him. It had been quite some time after the heist of several mythic gems from several different treasuries, and it was still unsolved. Six detectives had been employed by their queens to help uncover the mystery, but they had gotten essentially nowhere.
"We know that there were six dragons responsible for the crime. Since it happened in broad daylight, we can assume that the guards would have been wide awake and therefore only one of their own tribe could have possibly snuck into the treasury." said Finch, the large SkyWing opposite from him.
"Yes Finch, we've heard you say that three times already. That still tells us nothing. We need their whereabouts." snapped the ice dragon at the other end of the table.
"Maybe they could be in Possibili-" started the MudWing next to Finch, before he got cut off by Sandstone.
"Of course the couldn't be in Possibility! The Enclave would make sure that any criminals would be turned in. They wouldn't be in any town. Being in a populated area would be the last thing a criminal would want."
The others nodded at his statement, and he settled back in his chair.
"Their hideout must be in the Sky Kingdom." said the SeaWing, Stingray. The other turned to look at her, confusion in their eyes.
"Think about it." she said.
