===Prologue===
A crescent moon hung in the night sky. Pain shot through Yewberry's leg but she ignored it. Blood dripped from several wounds and her claws were soaked in blood. “Fight harder!” Growled a deep voice. Yewberry focused on her opponent. They were a dark red SkyWing and their side was bleeding heavily. The wound was deep and it was already becoming infected. Blood constantly dripped and the dragon's moves were wobbly. Yewberry narrowed her eyes menacingly at the SkyWing. The Skying wouldn’t last long and she wanted to have  a little more fun. She circled the exhausted dragon aiming for its neck but pretended to aim for its belly. The dragon fell for it and protected its belly leaving their neck exposed. Yewberry lunged forward. She dived for their necks, taking them by surprise. They roared trying to loosen her grip on their neck. But Yewberry clamped on tighter, shaking them hard like a crocodile does with prey. She heard a snap and a gush of blood spurred into her mouth. She felt the SkyWing struggle beneath her. They became slower and slower until they went limp. She let go and spat blood out of her mouth, blood oozed from the corpse staining the grass. She dislocated the head and stood triumphantly over the body like she just finished a hunt. “Nice job Deathberry, " said the deep voice again. He slid onto a rock but his features were unclear due to the little light. “Next time let your prey suffer more.” He said.
“Next time give me a better opponent,” she retorted. She settled in an untouched patch of grass and started to clean her wounds. After she finished, she rubbed herself in wild garlic to hide her scent then she approached the carcass, “Ganet the SkyWing, joined your forces a few weeks ago, correct?” She said calmly,
The dragon grunted and yawn, “weak one,” 
“Why don’t you let me fight one of your stronger dragons?” She asked. 
The dragon stayed quiet for a few seconds then replied, “You're not ready,” he said finally.
Yewberry flicked her tail impatiently. She dug her front talons in the grass creating deep bloody markings. She imagined them digging into a dragon's flesh tearing them apart. 
“Then train me harder! I know you're not sharing everything with me” she hissed. 
The dragon didn’t pay any attention to her and slowly walked up to Yewberry. He held her head high and grinned. His green and red eyes piercing hers.
“Soon, my Queen. Soon.” He said evilly.

===Chapter 1: Yewberry===
The sun was midway in the sky sending off rays of heat on the dragons below. Many dragons took cover under the treetops watching dragonets zoom by as they race. A dark green Aspenwing with reddish speckles and orange stripes was sitting in a tree alone. Her purple gaze bored into the sun as she gazed at dragonets below her squirming around. Pathetic she thought. The sun was nearly setting when the contest finished. Six dragonets stood on a raised platform their eyes beaming with pride. Two other dragons gilded and sat next to her and she gruffed annoyed that they joined her. “What’s with the grumpy face Yewberry? '' said one of the dragons. She looked up and gazed at him boredly. Green dragons with splashes of blue and then spots of yellow. Both were nearly identical, except that one had a white nose line and the other had white splattered on his wings. Before she could give off an angry reply, dragons all around her started to cheer and chant names. Then her older twin brothers roared in reunion with the others. How stupid. She hopped onto the dry ground and tried to figure out which was her younger brother’s new name. He said he was going to try to ‘impress’ her on his Naming Trail. So far he had only amused her and made himself look more pathetic and weak. She didn’t care about her siblings or family and her only attention was the throne. All of that power will be under her talons. Just one problem; she had her grandmother, mother, and both of her siblings in her way. She wouldn’t allow them to step into her future. A fluffy light green dragonet with white spots and purple wings stepped up. He became nervous and shy, but she noticed the same gleam every dragonet had when they earned their names.
“Rabbit ear moss! Rabbit ear moss! Rabbit ear moss!” Cheered The crowd.
The stupidest name in all of history and yet that was her younger brother.
===Chapter 2, Rabbit ear moss===
Fourth stood in front of a crowd breathing hard from his Trail. Despite him being filthy and covered in mud he felt proud of himself. Fourth… No Rabbit ear moss now felt new energy coursing every inch of his body. He probably was just imagining it, but he felt like he could fight a whole army. After the contest was over. Dragons departed while few stayed around to chat with each other. He spotted his siblings and happily ran to them. “Did you guys see me?” He said with glee bouncing to them. His older brothers praised him, but he yearned to hear what his sister had to say. He held his breath as his sister stared at him in confusion. His older brother with the striped nose bumped her in the side and she hissed. “Er- you did great kiddo,” she said awkwardly, clearly forcing the words from her mouth. The smile drained from Rabbit ear moss’s face as questions started to pile up. Does she not think I did well? Maybe I was too clumsy, maybe I didn’t fight hard enough. His mind was slowly filling with despair. “Hey, Rabbit ear moss what about grabbing some Dragon’Tears and then heading to grandparents?” Said the older sibling with Splatter Wings. His face lit up, “that sounds great!” He responded. Yewberry flicked her tail impatiently,” I’m backing out, she says about to take flight. The older brother with the white nose line yanked her down. “Hey! What was that for!” She snapped with fury. Yewberry was always sneaking off doing whatever she did. “Come on, it’s time to spend some family time. You hardly stay around since you’ve been busy with your ‘important stuff’' he said. “As you should know, it is important stuff I’m doing.” She sneered. Rabbit ear moss stood quietly as he watched his older siblings fight. They have fought more often ever since Yewberry kept leaving. “Look Berry, just come along with us to get some Dragon’Tears. You don’t even have to visit Grandparents you can do whatever you want alone.” He encouraged her. After they agreed they strolled down the busy streets and stopped in front of a busy hut called Anise’s sweetshop. “Let’s just get in front and out of here,” she said, cutting in front of several dragons. The twins pulled her back and she barked. “We are royalty, we deserve to be served first and cut everyone!” The twins just tsk and took place at the end of the line. The sun was well behind the treetops when they got to the counter. They ordered six Dragon’Tears and Rabbit ear moss and noticed a storm brewing atop Yewberry’s head. She shoved the substance down her throat and without a goodbye, left in a cloud of dust. Rabbit ear moss was disappointed that she didn’t stay longer. Together the brothers savored their treats and brought the extra two to their grandparents. They arrived at the palace and were greeted by a guard. The guard bowed when they approached, “Welcome Prince Saiga, Prince Burnet, and Prince Rabbit ear moss.” The guard said. 
Rabbit ear moss was surprised that his naming Trail had already spread to the palace. “So soon?” Asked Rabbit ear moss. The guard smiled,” news spreads like wildfire here, Prince Rabbit ear moss.”
They entered the Palace which shined and glimmered. Servants and guards were busily moving along the always or flying about. A dragon noticed them and made a bird call and commanded the others. All the dragon paused at what they were doing and bowed at the Princes and greeted Them.
Saiga, the one with the white nose line nodded in response. They continued down the hallway until they came to two large wood doors. The doors opened from dragons from the inside and a dazzling throne stood in the center. A velvet-colored female dragon was talking to another dragon who had a large faded scar starting from its shoulders to the belly. She noticed the three and commanded the dragon to go. He nodded and bowed and walked out. She smiled with delight and rose to her full height. Uncurling her wings which were blue with darker diamond shapes. Like her, the Princes had Diamond shapes on their wings marking them as royalty. “My Darlings! So good to see you. I heard you did your Naming Trial Fourth. But oh dear you still look like a newborn with that green fur.” She laughed, hugging each tightly. She let go and clamped Rabbit ear moss’s talons. An awkward silence filled the air and he could hear the soft hum of the world. 
“How’s Grandfather doing?” He said, breaking the silence. A shadow cast over her face and she slumped back. “I'm not sure he has many days left.” She said darkly. King Grackle, their Grandfather had just recovered from a deadly disease. It had taken great damage to his health, leaving him weak and vulnerable. They had given him doses of Dried kelp but it seemed his body was too weak to even take any of the nutrients. They gave her the Dragon’Tears, even though they know that she has dozens in the kitchen, and said goodbye. They lifted into the air, stirring the cool night air. Rabbit ear looked up; stars sparkled across the black night. Rabbit ear moss couldn’t help it and hover for a few seconds. He stared in awe as they shined and twinkled. “You coming?” Called Burnet from ahead. Rabbit ear moss stared for a few more seconds then responded. “Coming!”
===Chapter 3, Yewberry===
~2 years Ago~
Yewberry stalked through the undergrowth, trying to stay hidden from the pasting dragons zooming by. The final Amry Trial was going on in the Caribou forest. 
She could have passed all of this if she had gone farther down, but she was determined to reach Leopard Hive before it was over. Many of the dragons would be at the Final Army Trial even though the majority of them didn't have friends or kin competing. Since her younger brother was competing, dragons around the area had come to see if the young Prince would succeed. Branches and Twigs kept snatching on the straps around her as she walked into the overgrown forest. She muttered to herself every time she had to stop to unstaged herself. During her process, she was nearly caught, but the dragonet was too busy chasing a silly flag to investigate. Her surroundings because less dense, and the view before her became grassland and hills. She took flight, not caring if any spotted her; they wouldn't bother her too much since she was royalty, and they'd probably assume she was just foraging. After a long tiring flight, she made it to the Leopard Hive, which was nearly deserted. She spotted a few shadows walking around, and a guard was posted at the entrance. After Checking the guard was alone, she walked up to them. They noticed her approaching and bowed," Princess Yewberry, welcome. How may I-" Yewberry interrupted them by placing a talon in the air. It glistened in the growing moonlight. 
"How many dragons are there inside?"
"Six, not including me, your Highness," replied the dragon. Satisfied with the answer, she asked another question.
"Name?"
"Wogwort."
"Wogwort, do you have a family?" Yewberry noticed a hint of confusion guard in the guard's eyes when she asked the question. She bit back, trying to slash their face off.
"A husband, two daughters, and a dragonet on the way." The guard said. Proudness beaming in their eyes. A smile crept across Yewberry's face. She ordered the dragon to get closer and whisper in their ear;
"Good news! You're no longer needed." With that, Yewberry plunged her talon into their chest, ripping out the heart. Blood burst out, and the dragon gave a muffled cry as she covered their muzzle and watched as life quickly slipped out of their eyes which became dull in a matter of seconds. The dragon became limp, and she pushed the corpse into the tall grass. She grabbed her blow dart in one of her slings which were wound around her neck. She loaded it with paralyzing dart tips. She easily caught five of the dragons; one Healer, three Medics, and an apprentice. She discovered the 6th dragon checking the supplies. It was an older Healer with grey scales from old age. They turned around in surprise. Quickly she killed them with a slice in the neck. The dragon stood struggling to breathe; they gently pressed their talon against its neck, which blood spurted out, and removed it, revealing blood. "But-You-I," they gasped as more blood poured out. Struggling to lift their head, they held Yewberry's gaze, and the dragon's eyes only held Sadness. Not the emotion Yewberry wanted: they should fearing her. "Why...." they said weakly, then they collapsed dead. She stepped aside. The carcass and calculated the supplies, and judged the amount she could carry. She stuffed many supplies in her sacks, pouches, and slings, which were wound all over her body. She tested that each was secure and then demolished the rest of the supplies. She trampled everything, breaking shelves and ripping the walls. She wasn't done. She purchased a jar of white liquid and carefully made a trail from the room and several others and looped it around the Hive. It had eaten much of her time doing so, but she needed to erase any trace that she was ever here. 
What was an easy way to erase all evidence?: it was to burn it all down. She dumped the rest of the substance and opened her mouth, and sparks of electricity shot everywhere; a few hit the substance, and instantly it went off in flames. The flames devoured the trail hungrily. She took flight and soared in the direction of Itrana Woods. She flew for a few hours, then decided to rest. Her wings were starting to ache from the long flight and the extra weight she was carrying. After about fifteen minutes of resting, she flew upwards to get a better view of Leopard Hive. Smoke trailed in the air, and she could see a small glowing dot in the distance. Smiling at the blurry scene, she continued to her destination. The sun was well gone as she Landed on the outskirts of Itrana Woods. She waited a few minutes afterward. Three dragons slid from the shadows. A mud-sky hybrid, a Deathwing, and a Masked figure who stayed in the shadows. "Did you get much?" Asked the masked figure.
Unlooping several pouches and sacks, she replied," Grabbed as much I could. Thanks to all of the training, I was able to carry more. I burned down Leopard Hive to erase any evidence of me." She said casually. The other two dragons grabbed the rest of the medicine, and she explained what she got. "I grabbed mostly Healing Silva and Âhua Sap; Healing Saliva will heal small scratches and is super effective; Āhua sap will seal together wounds and prevents blood loss and has natural benefits which will heal and stop infections."
Everything was quiet for a few seconds. Bugs creeped out into the night sky, and in the distance, she could hear an owl. She studied the other two dragons. The Mud-Sky was a deep Auburn color. They had the Skywing's body and wings with the Mudwing built and head. The Deathwing was tall and skinny, and there were several scars across its body. Yewberry and the masked figure stood close, with heads low, as they talked quietly. To anyone else, it would have just sounded like muttering and whispers. "Until next time?" She said, her eyes glittering in the growing moonlight. 
He smiled at her. Well, she assumed it was because she couldn't see his expression under the mask. "Next time." He said. 
===Chapter 4, Rabbit ear moss===
Rabbits ear moss woke up at the sound of claw-steps. His ears could pick up more vibrations and the slightest sounds than others. He found it quite annoying, but Saiga said it'd be good use in the Military. He crawled out from his cozy bed and strained his ears. His ears were pricked, and he listened. Not mom and dad…. Whomever it is must be tired. He heard a dragging motivation which he guessed was their tail. He crawled out of curiosity. He started to carefully stalk the dragon. After a few careful steps, he spotted the dragon. They appeared as a shadow in the dim light. Their scent reached Rabbit ear moss. It was his sister Yewberry, coming back from her 'important stuff' so late at night. Rabbit ear moss was about to expose himself when he decided he would see if he could get any clues for why she stayed away so late. He crept closer, trying to define her scales. Rabbit ear moss was about to give up when a beam of moonlight shined on her. He quickly snatched the opportunity and studied her. He gasped, nearly tumbling. Blood leaked from servers wounds, a huge gash was on her left shoulder, and her teeth and claws were soaked in blood. She was panting hard as she dragged her wounded body to her chamber. Rabbit ear moss quickly retreated to his cave and slid into his bed. He tried to erase the image he just saw, but his mind kept wrapping around it, burning into his skull. She was covered in blood, her eyes scanning around hungrily, the bloom on her claws and jaw. He shook his head hard and thought firmly. I'm probably just imagining it. The image swirled in his mind. But she has been acting strange lately. He tried to sleep, hoping it was just moonlight playing tricks on him. But the more and more he thought about it, he wasn't sure anymore. His eyes drooped heavily as he snuggled into his bed. He breathed in and then fell asleep.
~2 years later~
Rabbit ear moss was leaping quietly from tree to tree without being spotted. He buried his hooked claws deep into the bark. He needed to reach the red flag before the other dragonets did and then bring it to the second-commander who was waiting back at the starting point. It wasn't as easy as it sounded; there were over twenty adults, and many were posted by the flag he needed. Luckily for him, he had green fur, so it should be easier for him to camouflage into the shadowy forest. He, like other dragonets (who were competing), was selected at a much younger age to join the Military than usual. Only one Dragonet out of 8 specially selected dragonets who went through many different trails and challenges could pass. He had already gone through many tests and obstacles like others and succeeded above average in his test. He wasn't going to go down now when he was so close to joining. He masked himself in mud on his fur and then plastered foliage on the mud. He took slow, steady steps and managed to slip a few of the dragons. Shadows stretched across the forest floor as the sun died away. It created uneven light, which was great to his advantage. Many of the adult dragons held touches or Brilho Mushrooms. The torches gave uneven light, so that worked great for him, but the Brilho mushrooms had a steady glow, so he would need to avoid those. He crawled against the tall ferns and thick trees. He picked up a rock, weighed it then grabbed a different rock. Pleased with his second rock, he hurled it across the field, and it landed with a satisfying thud. He heard a female voice roar; "I heard something over there." Five dragons swept in. Leaving their post exposed. The dragons left a perfect opening for dragonets to sneak through. He didn't run for it; instead, he climbed the closest tree and poised himself to glide over their heads and snatch the flag. Just as he expected, a younger dragonet lunged for the opening, where they were caught. While they were extracted, he glided and snatched the flag, then propelled himself upwards. Yes! He thought enthusiastically. He was halfway to his finished point when he was attacked. He flapped his wings aggressively, trying to throw off his attack. Argh! I forgot one of the most important rules; always stay alert. They attack. Claws locked in mid-flight. They slammed into the earth, and they rolled. He rammed his head into their chest, and they fell backward with an 'oof.' He took his opportunity and snatched the flag, and zigzagged through the trees. He could hear his pursuer crashing into every tree, but his ear picked up another noise. He stopped, hovering midway. Closing his eyes, he focused on his surroundings. Birds calling, Soft wind, rustling ...wait, that's not the leaves rustling….he focused on that. It's coming from both sides of me. He tucked his wings and started to plummet to the ground. Just then, two other younger dragons raced for him with claws outstretched. He spread his wings open and with a whoosh. Rabbit ear moss was violently lifted. 
He had patches of fur missing from the violet gush, but that wasn't going to stop him from reaching his destination. Rabbit ear moss had a few scratches and bruises, and he felt so thirsty. Maybe one sip won't hurt. He circled a nearby stream and checked his surroundings twice. So far clear. He put his snout close to the surface and took small sips of water but kept his eyes high alert. The water felt cool in his mouth and fresh down his throat. It was peaceful and quiet. He took a minute to enjoy life. He blinked and stared at the small surface. Moonlight reflected off its surface as his face waved in the reflection. An Orange blur Amused him, sprawling sand into his eyes. He hissed with anger. The dragon had stolen his flag. He roared his anger and realized his mistake. It echoed, and he was sure he was going to be caught. He desperately looked around at his surroundings but was bare. If I'm going down, I'm not letting someone else win after all my hard work! He thought angrily. He took flight and caught the orange dragon's scent on the night breeze. He flapped his wings, sweat soaking his fur. He saw a flash of a green and red tail slip through the forest. Wait, was that Yewberry? He paused for a second, but there were no more movements. He continued to pursue the dragon and soon caught up. He grabbed the dragon, which gave a surprised squeak. Together they hurled in the ground with a huge crash. I'm caught. He grabbed the flag out of the unconscious dragon's grip. Slowly using his last ounce of energy, he crawled into a bush then collapsed. He heard dragons roar and shout in triumph. He waited. None found him. 
He held his breath until he could no longer hear the dragons with their find. He sang the song of BloodLinked;
Your blood runs through my veins.
Forever linked.
here and now 
we are kin
kin no matter what
death;
grief ;
or loneliness 
will not divide us.
After he finished singing it four times in his head slowly, he crept out of the bush. In the distance, he could see torches moving and odd clear glows. He tied the flag around his upper leg and shot into the cool night sky. He flew low to the ground since he knew dragons would likely look up in the treetops now. Hoping from tree to tree, he finally glimpses the base. He untied the flag and brought it to a large dragon with scars. They studied the flag, which had new tears and looked more like a rag. It probably looks fake. He realized. Will he think I cheated? The dragon raised to their full height and opened their jaws ever so slightly. A thundering roar burst out, and dragons nearby cheered. Closing their mouth, the scared dragon spread their wings, looking enormous.
"You have passed."
 
=== Chapter 5, Yewberry ===
The ground beneath her felt dry and cracked. Skeleton-like trees were everywhere; Their limbs, once full of leaves, were now bleak and bare. Not a single bird was aloft in the sky, and it didn't look like water had run in this terrain in some time. Who in the lost continent would even live here? Her scent glands couldn't pick up any traces of prey in the bleak surroundings. There's not even prey here. She noted dragons make dumb decisions, she thought. Slowly and testing her surroundings, she crept forward. Her ears couldn't pick up any odd sounds except the swaying of branches and the howling of winds. It has been nearly a month since her last sabotage, and so far, no dragon has figured out who did it. Of course, they couldn't figure it out. The Queendom was full of weak, dump dragons. She would need to do more cleansing soon. Placing a paw in front of her without stepping on twigs or dried leaves, she advanced to her target. Up ahead was a hidden burrow, and she'd been watching it for weeks now. An IceWing and Skying couple were living in these remote parts. Every once in a while, she would see one come in with materials, and then the other would come out. The Skywing would also bring prey for the Icewing. She guessed they were mates and ran away to be with each other. But those weren't the only two dragons she heard. She had to strain her ears, but she was sure that she could hear baby dragonets. Her body was caked in grey mud and dead leaves. It felt weird on her body, but she was so close to the back of the den. She waited what felt like hours for IceWing to leave. She would usually wait for nightfall, but she needed to practice attacking during the daytime. Plus, she didn't want to fight an IceWing and a Skywing at once. The IceWing scanned his surroundings taking in every detail, then took flight. They became a speck hardly visible in the cloudy sky. After she felt sure that the dragon was gone, She instantly broke the rest of the back part of the den she's been slowly clawing away. She heard two small whimpers and a deep growl. Not knowing what she was expecting, she attacked the Skywing. The Skywing fought harder than she expected, and it was hard to get a good grip, for they kept moving. They tousled together, roaring and tearing, causing multiple wounds. The Skywing Slammed Yewberry's back, causing her vision to blacken. She strikes randomly until her vision clears again. Tucking her wings, she dived under their belly and slid their claws against it. A flood of blood burst out as She scrambled out and chopped down their tail, biting the end off. The dragon twisted and flung her off, sending Yewberry into the den's wall. The Skywing let out a burst of smoke scorching her foot as she lifted herself with the limited space. Kicking sand into the SkyWing's eyes, she jumped on their back and dug her talons into the shoulders. The Skywing buckled, trying to throw off their opponent, but Yewberry hooked on her claws. Snapping at the Vein around the shoulder part near the neck, the Skywing fell unconscious. Quickly she dislocated the head and muttered under her breath; scanning the den, she found two small dragonets huddled in a corner farther in the den. What she assumed was the prey pile. She growled menacingly and snapped the air next to one of their heads. They squealed and shanked in terror. Satisfied, she picked them up and flew away. They were light and felt like two warm stones in her grip, and they didn't move at all. She landed halfway to check if the dragonets were alive. If they weren't, her plan would completely fail. 
=== Chapter 6, Rabbit ear moss ===
Rabbit ear moss woke up with the sound of muttering. He could hear claw steps. The dragon wasn't being careful at all, and we got up to investigate. Rabbit ear moss dragged himself up, his feet swaying from sleepiness. It's probably Yewberry again. He has done this several times, and so far, it hasn't gotten him anywhere except waking up more tired. Like many times he crept out of his cave and hid in the shadows. He had created a small ditch on the side of the wall where he could hide in or behind. He focused on his sister; her breathing was ragged, and she had several new gashes. They were dragon marks. A horrible stench reached his nostrils. What's that horrible smell? The moonlight gave more light, and he noticed she was limping. Studying more closely, he realized that part of her leg was burnt. I can't stand this anymore. Almost every night, she was bleeding, exhausted, and there was at least one type of blood on her talons that wasn't hers. Silently creeping out of his hiding spot so he wouldn't give it away. He gathered his nerve to speak. "Sister, why have you come back home so late?" He said curiously. Yewberry froze and was surprised, but quickly her face became emotionless.
"Go back to bed, Rabbit," she said coldly as she headed for her Chamber. Taking a deep breath, he blocked Yewberry's path. "Your bleeding and those scratches don't look like prey marks," he remarked, then continued before she could reply, "What about that burn mark? Aspenwings don't breathe fire. Have you been fighting dragons?" He said bravely. Instantly his braveness faded; he said too much. Her muscles tightened, and she gave a low, threatening growl. He stood his ground, but his body trembled. She took a threatening step closer, and she lowered her head close to his ears. There was silence, and he could smell her foul breath against his ears. "Now you won't tell anyone, and if you do, I'll kill you, tearing your limbs one by one. Understand, dear?" She said darkly. Rabbit's ear moss heart thumped in his chest. Her mouth was so close to his face that he could see every mark. With the dried-up blood, and torn flesh, her breath smelled foul, and he tried not to gag at its stench. He lifted his head. Despite his trembling, he replied, "Yes, ma'am." She smiled and then walked towards her Chamber, leaving him alone in the Prey cave. His bones felt hollow as he quietly walked into his Brother's Cave. He shook them, fear exploding. "Saiga! Burnet!" 
***
The next morning he told his brothers everything. Their faces deepened with concern and trouble once he was finished. "I hate to say this, but I believe you," Saiga said finally in defeat.
Burnet fuddled with his claws, "we can't be sure-" Burnet started,
Rabbit had one of the twins aboard, but he needed them both. 
"Burnet," Rabbit ear moss said, taking a deep breath. "Have you not noticed the new scars on Yewberry? She had disappeared every time those events happened. First, the Skywing, and the same night, Yewberry came back with fresh wounds; Leopard Hive burning down the same day, Yewberry disappeared for an entire day; The day Yewberry hunted so much prey, and none of it was found; last night, she came back all bloodied, and with a burned leg and today the river was poisoned with rotting prey and two dying Ice-sky Dragonets. What else do I have to say that something is wrong with our sister?! She's been doing horrible things, and she threatened to kill me." He hissed. Burnet starred in surprise. Rabbit ear moss neither appeared so mad nor serious. "I-" he hesitated but then finally admitted. "I believe you." He said sadly. Rabbit ear moss, too, didn't want to believe it. 
=== Chapter 7, Yewberry ===
Yewberry opened her eyes, adjusting them to the moonlight.  Wiping old moss and dried foliage she got up and stretched. Her body was used to it since she’s been doing it almost everyday now. Pain ripped through her leg as she moved. Her neck was bandaged and she had poultice on her burn. The medicine was already working great. She crawled out of her Chamber and stiffened. Another dragon was here. 
“Where are you going, Berry?” Called Saiga. Swaying her head to look at her brother she narrowed her eyes. Burnet was beside him too. This was the first her elder brothers caught her, then it hit her like a lightning bolt. That slimy snake! He’s so dead she growled under her breath. Quickly she put on a surprised expression with innocent eyes, “wh-what are you two doing up?” She said acting surprised. She revealed herself into the growing light of the Bruilo Mushrooms. She sagged her body, loosening her muscles to appear as if she just woken up and was tired. 
“We know you’re been sneaking at night lately,” replied Burnet Cooley.
“What are you Talking about?” She said with confusion,”I was just going on a Night flight. You know to feel the wind between my wings." That was a complete lie; she wasn’t like other aspenwings who were taught to ‘enjoy’ what the world has given to them. she thought it was quite pathetic really. 
“Quite the act Yewy, we both know you're pretending.” grunted Saiga.
Old memories of her younger self and her older siblings playing, images of them prancing on others; sneaking into the royal kitchens; laughing with each other without any worries. The memories were painful and sometimes she had yearned fir those times again. Anew wave of scenes danced before her. Her siblings neglecting her; them teasing her; bullied by older dragons; her laying hopeless in deep territory until a dragon she never seen before appeared. She snapped back into reality, her face hardened in rage as she flared her nostrils being called ‘Yewy’. 
They argued and fought for several hours. 
“You two can go stab your hearts out and join the Dark Realm,” she snarled, nostrils flaring. Small bolts of electricity shot from her mouth, “ you mean nothing to me.” she added.  She caught a glimpse of the twins before she turned around. The twins were clearly hurt. She turned around trying to keep her temper down. A storm was brewing with all of their arguments and she was losing patience. Keep it cool, it's too soon for the plan. She repeated this several times. She felt a wing gently brushed her. “We’re just worried about yo-.” He said gently. His voice was so soft and full of useless love and affection. Yewberry didn’t have any more patience, she unsheathed her dagger and stabbed Saiga in the chest. In response He roared in pain and stepped back nearly tumbling his brother over. Burnet caught him and shouted with concern bird calls.  It felt so good.  She lunged again with pure hatred. 
=== Chapter 8, Rabbit ear moss ===
Rabbit ear moss laying  in his ditch he and his brother had wided yesterday. The entrance was covered blending into the den. He had a perfect view of the prey den which allowed him to see the entire cave and everything that happened. He wished he couldn't. He stared in complete horror as the color drained from his face. He felt sick, he was right all along and he wished he wasn’t. His siblings were fighting to the death infront of him. Yewberry was showing no mercy and his brothers weren’t doing too well. Saiga was bleeding from a huge gash across his chest and Burnet's left eye was swollen shut. His tail tip was missing and his wings had several  torns. Many of Yewberry’s  wounds had reopened and she had a few new wounds, but she looked better than his brothers. Before his eyes Saiga dropped dead as Yewberry plunged her talon into his chest. His face twisted in betrayal and pain as he collapsed. Burnet who was Enraged at having his twin killed before his eyes, attacked with everything. He managed to do a lot more damage, but his wounds slowed him down. Yewberry took this opportunity and sliced open Burnet's belly. He collapsed struggling to breath as blood seeped out. Within minutes he was dead and Rabbit ear moss let out a loud mourn. His last brother had just died.  He gasped and placed his claws over his snout.  fear thumped  in his stomach. She was coming towards the ditch. His direction. No, no, no, please turn away…. He begged to the keeper ofLife and death. Yewberry reached out a claw towards his direction. Suddenly a yellow blur solidified which came from the wall and lunged at Yewberry. It was the Family RainWing servant Venus. Her scales were a pale yellow with lighter green highlights that were lighter than his. She bared her teeth and shot out a stream of venom. It passed Yewberry by an inch away from her face. Realizing that she failed she tried to attack  Yewberry, but failed as Yewberry saw that coming. “You killed them!” Venus cried as she swiped at Yewberry leaving a small trickle of blood. Taking his Opportunity Rabbit ear moss dashed out abandoning his post. I must find a guard. Tears swelled in his eyes as he hopelessly searched for a guard. Hope flickered in his stomach as he spotted one who was strolling through the city. “GUARD THE PRINCES ARE DEAD! BRING BACKUP.” The guard stared in shock at the news but then quickly threw back his head and created a bird call that was low but very loud. It echoed through the forest and he heard rustling. Soon more than a dozen guards were running with Rabbit ear moss who led them to his home. When they arrived Yewberry had wiped the blood onto the Rainwing and Venus had new scars. Her eyes were full of despair. Her body was sagged and she shook her head sadly at the approaching guards.“I-I was too late….” She trailed off mournfully resting her head on Burnet's limp body. A few of the guards took a respectful line and carried the still warm bodies out and went to tell terrible news to the Alpha and their parents.
Rabbit ear stared in dismay as her sister acted like Venus did all of this. Five guards were holding Venus tightly and jerking her roughly as she woked. Rabbit ear moss didn’t have the ability to speak. Grief and Sorrow seized him. His gaze caught his sister's attention and her expression changed quickly. Hostile and bitterness filled her gaze and Rabbit ear moss stared back firmly. He stepped back and fled for the entrance. He no longer  recognized his sister anymore. His sister that he looked up to as a younger dragon, was long gone now.  He unfurled his wings and took into the night sky. His expression hardened. All he saw was a dark cruel killer.
