Wings of Fire 1

This is the very first thing that that I ever wrote creatively, and it also happens to be the first WoF thing that I ever wrote too. Nothing is edited, completely authentic.
Wings of Fire: Secret Shadows: 
Turn your eyes, your wings, your fire 
To the land across the sea 
Where dragons are poisoned, and dragons are dying 
And no one can ever be free. 
A secret lurks inside their eggs. 
A secret hides within their book. 
A secret buried far below 
May save those brave enough to look 
Open your hearts, your minds, your wings 
To the dragons who flee from the Hive. 
Face a great evil with talons united 
Or none of the tribes will survive. 
Chapter 1
There had been another party. There was always a party going on at jewel hive. After the first five parties, it wasn’t even worth going anymore. But Longhorn’s parents always brought him along no matter how much of a fuss he put up. So, after last- night’s party Longhorn was one of the few HiveWings awake this early. Most others would be waking close to noon. This meant yet another day of no school. Longhorn had a sense of freedom that had become too commonplace for him to enjoy it. As he flew down from his family’s cell, he was so deep in his own thoughts that he almost ran into a group of SilkWings. He said a hurried apology, then he got a better look at them and noticed a HiveWing with the SilkWings. He quickly followed them to explain to the HiveWing that he meant no disrespect, until he overheard their conversation. “If she knew the truth about everything- “That didn’t sound like normal HiveWing gossip. Longhorn moved closer, “The Book of Clearsight-and she didn’t have the queen in her head, making her do things and messing with her thoughts. Then could we trust her? Maybe she would try to help us.” Longhorn stopped dead. The Book of Clearsight! And treasons talk of the queen! These must have been the dragons that had stolen The Book of Clearsight! He had to report them, but wasn’t what they were saying true? He had to find out, he had to follow them. 	
Chapter 2	
As Longhorn watched the group of dragons approach the Salvation Statue, he looked for a suitable place to observe without them spotting him. He carefully walked towards the group and was walking around them when he overheard one of the SilkWings say: “Knock it over, smash it to pieces with my bare talons. Throw the broken rock chunks at everyone in this hive” Her remark made Longhorn wince quietly. By everyone in the hive she meant the HiveWings, and if she decided to act on her words, he would be the closest to her attack. He noticed one of the male SilkWings looking at something in the statue, and the vengeful SilkWing moving to block him from view. Longhorn watched as the HiveWing quickly picked something up read it and then put it back quickly. Then the group started moving away. Longhorn went over to the statue and started looking for the thing that had caught first the SilkWing then the HiveWing’s eye. Then he spotted it: a small slip of paper saying Midnight. Library. 5. Now he knew where they were going. 	
Chapter 3
It turns out that staking out someplace till midnight is easy. If you’re a HiveWing that is. Not one passing dragon asked him why he was loitering outside of the library. He kind of wished some-dragon had asked him what the moons he was doing and why wasn’t he at home yet? The scolding probably would have put him off his crazy scheme. It was rather simple: wait until he saw his traitor group, (But where they traitors. The posters said that they were, but what they had been talking about was still heavily weighing on him.) There! They were opening the door to the library. Longhorn quickly darted towards them, but he was to late they had closed and bolted the door behind them. All he could do now was wait and listen. He heard loud arguing voices coming from within the library. He marveled at the fact that nobody could hear them, then he remembered that with all the parties going on, it was a wonder that anybody could hear anything anymore. Then the arguing stopped, and a male voice said, “I’m looking for the Chrysalis,” and a different male voice said, “Well, congratulations, you’ve found us.” The Chrysalis what is that? Longhorn wondered and kept listening. Then he heard the unthinkable, “Care to destroy the HiveWings together?” Then as if it wasn’t crazy enough the first male voice said yes! Where these SilkWings plotting to destroy everything that the Tree Wars were fought for?? Then a female voice said, “You’re alive. I thought you were all dead. I thought we’d lost your whole tribe forever.” THERE WAS A LEAFWING IN THAT LIBRARY!!!!!!! But they were supposed to be dead! Still reeling from this new knowledge Longhorn didn’t notice the two dragons land behind him he only noticed when one of the dragons spoke with the queen’s voice and said “What are you doing here…” then his eyes rolled back and he lost all sensations.
Chapter 4
Longhorn later learned that the queen had taken over his mind and used him to help search the library for trespassers. He also learned that the queen had used him to help storm Lady Scarab’s house. Once she had captured the HiveWing Katydid, she dumped him at the party going on next door. He had lost the SilkWings and he was stuck at a party with no memory and no idea of what to do next. When Longhorn awoke the next morning there was pink everywhere. The same words over and over again: THE QUEEN IS LYING TO YOU, CLEARSIGHT NEVER PREDICTED THE TREE WARS, CLEARSIGHT NEVER SAID THE OTHER TRIBES SHOULD BOW DOWN TO THE HIVEWINGS, EVERYTHING QUEEN WASP SAYS ABOUT THE BOOK IS A LIE, CLEARSIGHT’S PREDICTIONS ENDED A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, THE QUEEN IS LYING TO YOU, THE QUEEN IS LYING TO YOU THE QUEEN IS LYING TO YOU. It’s like what that HiveWing was saying yesterday. Then he saw the same HiveWing shoot off from the ground just as his mind was taken over by the queen. As before Longhorn later learned that under the queen’s control, he had attacked the rouge HiveWing and had stabbed and pined her wing with his wrist stingers, so another HiveWing could paralyze her. Then he helped drag her to Lady Jewel’s palace. 	The hive was in uproar. The queen was coming to personally deal with a prisoner, except the prisoner had escaped. Longhorn knew that it was treasons, but he was secretly glad that she had escaped. He was ashamed that he had helped bring her in. Two days ago, he would have scolded himself harshly for thinking these thoughts, but now he didn’t care. The HiveWings, how he knew them now had to be destroyed. And the queen had to be defeated. It was the only way to ever restore peace between the three tribes of Pentala. He had become a traitor to his queen and his tribe. Longhorn decided to go looking for the escaped prisoner and her friends. It took a little while, but he spotted her outside the walls talking to a blue SilkWing. Since there was no sign of the LeafWing he decided to land right Infront of the two of them. As soon as he had landed the HiveWing and the SilkWing wiped around to face him, both freezing. Longhorn stood there and then said, “I’m a friend, I want to help you.”
Chapter 5
Longhorn had thought that they would be relieved that a HiveWing believed them, and they were, kind of. The SilkWing encased him in a silk cocoon leaving only his head free. Longhorn said, “Hay!! I just want to help!” the SilkWing said, “That may be true, but we can’t trust you. The queen could take control of you at any time.” Longhorn said, “She can control my actions and my words, she can read my thoughts. But she can’t influence them.” The HiveWing looked at the SilkWing and motioned for them to talk privately. Longhorn only just noticed that she was carrying an egg. He briefly wondered whose it was. A short while later They turned back to him and the HiveWing said, “We will take you with us, but you will be blindfolded at all times, ok?” Longhorn nodded his head and said, “One question, how will I fly if I’m tied up and blindfolded?” The HiveWing said, “We will free you and then guide you to our hiding spot. Then we will bind your wings and talons so you can’t leave.” It was slow going but they made it. The first thing The LeafWing said when she saw Longhorn was: “What is HE doing here??!!” The HiveWing said “He wants to join us.” Quieter she said, “we still don’t trust him completely.” 	Longhorn awoke to total darkness. He twitched trying to rub his eyes and realized that his talons were bound. He almost freaked out until he remembered what happened yesterday and yesterday evening. No longer afraid Longhorn mulled over everything he knew: He was in a small cave with SilkWings named Blue and Swordtail, an angry LeafWing named Sundew, and a HiveWing named Cricket. He was tied up incase the queen took over his mind. And lastly, he was far from his home and family and had no Idea what to do. When he heard shifting, he called quietly, “Whose there?” “Just Cricket.” She responded then he heard a small tapping sound and heard Cricket say, “No, it is NOT TIME TO HATCH YET.” Longhorn realized that the egg he had seen Cricket holding the other day was hatching! She kept yelling at the egg to stop hatching. “I think it disagrees with you” Sundew observed. Since Longhorn couldn’t do anything but listen, he decided to listen to the drama unfold. Cricket’s yelling did nothing. The egg hatched. The dragonet babbled. It was rather uninteresting, but Longhorn couldn’t see it so maybe he was wrong. Cricket said that she looked like a bumble bee and everybody else agreed. Then Blue asked what something was and everyone else looked at what he was seeing Cricket asked Sundew, “Did the LeafWings do that?” “I don’t know” Sundew said. Longhorn asked to nobody in particular, “COULD SOME DRAGON PLEASE REMOVE THIS BLINDFOLD SO I COULD SEE WHAT EVERONE IS GAWKING AT!?” Then his blindfold was gone, and he saw it, Bloodworm hive, in flames. Longhorn gasped. The LeafWings did that! Maybe they were as evil as the posters always said. “All those dragonets.” Cricket said, “Those eggs in their Nest.” Sundew was saying something, but Longhorn heard none of it. A whole hive… going up in flames. It was one of the worst things that he could have imagined. Then his blindfold was back on and his bonds removed. They were flying again. When they landed Longhorn was told to stay where he was and not move. The only noise was the dragonet’s noises. A short time later they were flying again. The smell of smoke was heavy in the air and Longhorn wondered whether they were at Bloodworm hive. They flew for a long time and Longhorn heard Cricket ask where they were going and Sundew told her, “We’re going home to the poison jungle. 
The End.
