=== Prologue: ===
Queen Tegu was always nervous of her daughter Jaguar she seemed to be watching her every move and was pretty sure that Jaguar was an animus. She was walking to her hut when she got stopped by one of her scouts she asked "what is it Tamarin?" Tamarin replied "well I just saw Jaguar kill two Mudwings who snuck in here." Tegu thought oh no what is she doing this could cause war between us and we already have to deal with the Seawings war Tegu said "bring her to my hut." Tamarin said "okay" Tegu continued to her hut and and when she got there she laid down on a pile of leaves and waited. It was nighttime by the time Jaguar arrived Jaguar asked in her usually annoyed voice, "what did I get called here for." Tegu asked, "what took you so long?" Jaguar replied, "well, Tamarin had difficulties finding me because I was exploring the jungle." Tegu said "whatever. anyway it seems that two Mudwings died and you killed them why?" Jaguar replied "because they will get scared after having multiple Mudwings die and not come into here." Tegu thought why does she not want Mudwings coming into the rainforest. Tegu stated "well I don't want you killing anymore Mudwings." Jaguar shook her head and looking more confident than ever said "I challenge you for the throne of the Rainwings." Tegu said "fine but no animus magic." Jaguar looked surprised but then masked it again and asked "how did you know about that?" she replied "I had a fierce suspicion since you were just a little dragonet." Jaguar said "enough lets fight." Tegu said "fine by me." and Jaguar leapt at her face and Tegu slammed herself to the ground bringing her tail up to hit Jaguars belly and successfully hit her and felt her roll onto the ground. Tegu jumped up and ran over to Jaguar and pinned her, Jaguar then stabbed at Tegu with her tail and successfully got Tegu to stumble back. Jaguar leapt up and rammed into Tegu. Tegu fell down but quickly recovered and leapt over Jaguar grabbing Jaguars snout as she did and flipped Jaguar over. Tegu landed back on Jaguar and made sure she couldn't move and prepared to snap Jaguars neck and said "I am very sorry you are my only heir guess I will need to have more heirs." Jaguar said "I wouldn't be too sure of that. I enchant Queen Tegu to be under my command and do whatever I want her to do no matter where I am." Tegu Screamed "Nooooooooooo!" and then she was stuck with her thoughts and thought as fiercely as she could You will be beaten. Jaguar replied "No I will not and now go do whatever queen stuff you have to do." as Jaguar left Tegu thought Jaguar will be beaten I don't know when but there will always be someone willing to fight for what's right.
=== Part 1: Marsh Enemy ===
==== Chapter 1: ====
It was a regular day for Palm, sitting just outside of Oasis, a town she had almost full control over, but did have a council. She was making a little sandman with her powers which allowed her to control sand. she still had no idea why she could control sand when no one else could. Then she looked up and saw that the sun was a lot farther down than she thought and realized that the council meeting would start soon and had to rush to get there. She ran for the entrance where the guards saluted her and let her through. Oasis was a little run down but it was still a lot better then when she came. She passed dragons who saluted and weren't touched by the war thanks to her. she also passed by the different house and stores. Her favorite store was one that sold dangerous weapons she accidentally bumped into a dragon who murmured "watch where you're going, idiot." She whipped around and moving with incredibly speed pinned the dragon to the ground and said "just who do you think you are." His face got the look of fear after he saw her necklace which was her identification card and whimpered "I'm sorry please don't harm me please." She hissed "you're lucky I have somewhere to be." She shoved him into the ground then continued on to the meeting knowing she probably wouldn't punish that dragon because she rarely punished anyone. She barely made it in time probably being the last dragon there, She first checked to see that everyone was there. First was infrastructure led by Dune a dragon whose color is the darkest she's every seen in a Sandwing, he was the only dragon who had come from the war so he had a couple of scars on him. Second, was supplies and selling led by Thorn a pale yellow color and could blend in with the sand if she didn't move. Third, was citizens led by Grain whose color made it look like she was super grainy with a light yellow and a dark yellow and that was why she had that name. Fourth was dragonets led by Qibli who had pale sand colored scales and a few dark speckles on his snout. Fifth was defense led by Sting who wasn't there Palm thought guess I wasn't the last dragon here then asked "does anyone know where Sting is?" They all shook their heads and right at that moment the door launched open and in walked Sting. Sting was the most beautiful dragon anyone here had seen she had scales that sparkled in the light and a nice slightly lighter than sand colored scales. Then Palm noticed the Mudwing Sting brought with her and asked "who is that?" Sting replied "I found him sneaking around the town so i instantly brought him to you." Palm asked the Mudwing "who are you?" He answered in a handsome voice " i am Marsh." She said "well Marsh why are you here?" he replied "just on a scouting mission" She looked down on ring on her talon which was animus touched by her to be a lie detector the ring turned green which meant it was true then asked "a scouting mission for what?" He replied "just regular scouting checking out where stuff is, so we can use it to make maps." She looked down at her ring and it glowed red so he had just lied. She thought what is he actually doing here is here to maybe scout a way to kill the queen maybe even me. She then said "I need some time to rest and think you can all go to bed now." They all left until it was only her and Marsh she said "I know you are lying I just need to figure out what your actually mission is." He had a grin and replied "my only crime here is being too handsome." She replied "you aren't here for maps I just want to know what your crime is." while she also thought he is handsome and look at those beautiful eyes she stopped her self from thinking that while he said "uhh can I leave?" She realized she never trapped him and said "no" while she made him sink into the sand until his feet were full covered and made the sand impossible to break out of. He cried after her "please let me out i will get you a drink." She snorted and thought i would accept if I didn't have to hold you prisoner and walked over to her room which was the largest room in her palace and right by the council room. She went in and saw her self portrait and all the scrolls she was writing just laying in a pile on her desk and then went to her sand bed she made and fell asleep almost instantly.
==== Chapter 2: ====
When she woke up she greeted by two guards who she didn't know the name of and asked "what?" they looked at each other worried and replied "the prisoner escaped." She howled "what you should have been paying closer attention!" they said "well he just vanished we had no chance to catch him." She left her room and went into the council room and saw that he had escaped and then her brain rebelliously thought well at least we won't have to punish the handsome dragon. She then said "gather the council" and the guards went into each of their rooms and got them up and out. She said "Marsh has escaped and now I will go find them Sting you are in control while I am away" Sting bowed and said "of course your majesty." Palm left and first stopped by the weapons shop and asked Sun the shopkeeper "what is the most hideable item you have?" He replied "why of course it would be my mouth knife just stick into your mouth and when you need it you can pull it out and vanquish your foe." He pulled out a little sabre and tucker it into his mouth and said, "all you have to do is put a little pressure right here with your tongue and it will shoot like this." and he did it and it launched across the alley and just avoided hitting the owner of the store right across from him. Sun called" sorry Blaze." she replied, "you better be." Sun said, "ah, she will probably forgive later, anyway here is your mouth knife." Palm replied, "thank you." Sun said, "problem." She continued on to the exit when she saw the dragon from yesterday who called her idiot she stopped by and said "hey what is you name?" He noticed her and yelped "Tortoise" she said "okay Tortoise when I come back I will deal with you." she continued on hearing him start to talk to his friend and sounded terrified. She got to the entrance passed the guards and then took off into the air to get a better view she could see a shape but she couldn't make it out so she just snuck over there and saw that it was Marsh and decided to wait to see what he was doing. She could hear him mumble "okay so not there but if we take this route then we can get there faster but we have to pass through Oasis. By that time they will most likely see us and then stop us from making it to the queen." She had heard enough and pounced at him and successfully pinned him to the ground. He screamed "please don't kill me." She said "you make a terrible scout and I'm afraid I will have to bring you back so you don't harm the queen." He responded with "I want to save the queen, princess Palm." he had a smug look on his face probably waiting for a reaction. She was very confused how he knew but kept a straight face and asked "how did you know that?" He responded with "well it was pretty easy we knew the queen was missing a daughter so then when I saw you I saw similarities between you and your family and made an assumption and looks like I was correct." She said "okay so then how are you going to save my mother?" Marsh said " well I am figuring out the route they will most likely take so then I can tell how long we have and then i will go warn the queen." She replied with "first how do you know they are going to the queen and second they will most definitely not let you into the palace since you are a Mudwing." He responded with "I know that they are going to the queen for personal reasons I won't discus and why don't you come with me to the palace to save your mom." She responded "tell me why you won't tell me how you know and I'll come with you to the palace." He sighed and said  " you are difficult to work with but fine the reason I didn't want to tell you is because I am queen Mudslide's brother." Palm looked at her ring and saw that it was glowing green.
==== Chapter 3: ====
She growled "why wouldn't you tell my council this." He responded with "i didn't want anyone to know." She said "let's just start flying to the palace." So they pushed off from the ground and started flying. While they were flying she heard marsh ask "why aren't you in the palace?" she answered "because I didn't like it there and then went and improved a city and lived there and started the Sandwatchers." He replied "so what do the Sandwatchers do, watch sand." he laughed at his own joke and palm had to cough to cover up laughter she thought why do I like him why can't I just be an ally maybe more without anyone looking at me weirdly. she said "the Sandwatchers control the city and make sure everything is going okay. and the name comes from watching the sand for threats." He said "that sounds cool." he then didn't talk for a while and then she asked "so why aren't you with the queen I mean aren't Mudwings all family is the best." he snorted and said "I don't like how my sister operates so I wanted to get away." She said "I would always take you in I mean you seem good." he said "thanks also, I see the palace." She looked ahead and saw it too, it looked as menacing as ever with its huge walls and giant spires. they started to go down when she saw marsh get knocked out of the air she instantly zoomed down to him and knocked off the assailant. when she attacked she knew it was a Sandwing and looked and saw it was a guard and said "what are you doing?" He replied "fighting a Mudwing our enemy, are you a traitor to queen thorn?" she responded "I happen to be Palm the daughter of queen Thorn and I am escorting this Mudwing to her." The guard instantly said "I'm sorry let me take you to the queen." so marsh and palm followed the guard to the queens room while going there they went by the courtyard were most of the dragons there stopped and stared at her. Palm asked the guard "what is your name?" he replied "smolder." She said "I like that name." after they got through all the narrow hallways they came out into another courtyard that had multiple ways to go, the treasury, the spire, and the one they were heading to was the queens room. they went into the room and palm saw that it looked different then she remembered, all the tapestries of Thorn and her kids were gone replaced by pictures of only the queen, and the whole room had more gold laced into it. Palm thought something strange is going on here, but what? Smolder said "queen Thorn I have brought you your daughter." Thorn said "thanks now go out and continue guarded the entrance." He bowed and left Thorn asked "what brings you here Palm." she spat out palm as if she didn't like Palm. Palm responded "I have brought you Marsh from the Mudwings with an important message." Marsh said "the Mudwings are planning to invade the kingdom of sand and take you out." Thorn replied by saying "now why would they want to do that." He replied "because we are enemies in the war of Seawing succession." She smugly replied "but the wars over."
==== Chapter 4: ====
Palm was confused how could the war be over they just received news of all three Seawings still being at large how could it be over just a couple of days after that. Marsh asked "how could the war be over?" The queen replied "well it could have been an assassin that was apparently working for all of us, but i personally think it was aquamarine." Palm thought well something sounds off then said "well can I at least stay for while to rest and then we can catch up." Thorn said "okay" so palm left and Marsh followed. Palms heart skipped a beat when she felt Marsh's wing brush hers. she thought at herself don't let yourself fall in love with this handsome caring Mudwing. Marsh asked "where are we going?" She responded "to my old room." if its even still there Marsh asked "how far away is that?" She said "it is right here." they stepped into her room and she saw that it was just how she left it completely empty except for her bed she said "do you want to sleep on the bed i can take the floor." he replied "no I am a gentledragon you can take the bed I am used to sleeping on the ground." so he curled up and fell asleep quickly. Palm laid down on her bed and fell asleep. she woke up and saw she was trapped in sand buried alive and couldn't get out she was suffocating she could feel her vision going in and out of focus when a voice said "you will never come out and after I kill you I will kill your sisters and parents." and a menacing laugh came after that. her heart was pounding she didn't know how but then she burst out of the sand and could make it trap the Seawing and she asked "who are you?" the Seawing replied "Aquamarine and after I become queen of the Seawings I will make you get everything you want Palm." Palm saw the fear and truth in Aquamarines eyes and said "okay but don't try anything funny ever again." then when aquamarine opened her mouth Marsh voice came out instead and said "are you okay?, wake up this isn't funny." She jolted awake realizing she was just dreaming and saw marsh looking worried asked "what was going on." Palm replied "nightmares and that's all I am going to say." she had just dreamt of  time from her childhood when she first met Aquamarine and learned she had the power to control the sand most likely because of the mention of Aquamarine. She heard her mother come in and saw that she had at least 10 guards with her. Thorn told the guards "take these two to the dungeons." Marsh was the closet and didn't have time to prepare so he was being dragged away. Palm instantly got ready to attack and saw that she was facing off against 3 guards who laughed and said "look how small she is this will be a piece of cake." she knew she wasn't going to win but she still tried and slashed one guard across the belly and then stabbed one of the other guards with her tail in the leg and for the last one she pinned them to the ground before they could figure out what was going on. but then the guard she kicked jumped onto her surprising her so she lost her grip on the guard and both of them were able to stop her and drag her away as she was going she saw the one she stung couldn't move and then looked at Thorn and asked "why?" She said "I have to get rid of any threats." and then Palm got knocked out.
==== Chapter 5: ====
She gained conciseness and saw she was in the dungeons and thought at least I am by a window she looked out and saw that there was a weird colored dragon and a dragon that was pitch black flying out over the ocean and wondered what are they doing are they going to see if the lost continent is real. she watched until they were out of sight and then looked and saw that she was next to Marsh's cell and asked "are you okay?" he responded with "yes." then two familiar voices asked "Palm is that you?" she looked around and found the dragons it was her sisters Lizard who was more of green color than the other Sandwings and was the youngest and the nicest dragon she had ever met. then there was Sunrise who was the same brownish shade on the bottom and yellow shade on top as their mom and she was also younger than her but older than Lizard and was the meanest one. Palm asked "why are you in here?" Lizard responded with "Mom locked us up in here so that we can't challenge her for the throne." she tried escaping by using the sand to create a tunnel but it didn't work sunrise saw her try this and spat, "it won't work mother enchanted it so that you couldn't do that." Marsh said "whoa you have animus dragons in the kingdom of sand?" Palm said "yes my mother happens to be one of them and lucky for us I also happen to be an animus dragon." Her sisters looked at her surprised and Marsh looked like she had just confirmed a theory for him. she asked "what marsh?" He said "well i had a suspicion when you  didn't seem suspicious of me when i told you about my plan to see the queen, and I saw that you looked at your ring a lot whenever you were interrogating me so I thought maybe it was animus touched by you." her brain thought ooh he is smart too yay but she said "that's smart." and then she saw the keys hanging off a handle on the wall so she looked at them and said "i enchant those rings to come over to me." her sisters looked in awe as the rings unhooked themselves and floated right to her. she flipped through the keys until she unlocked the door and then went over to free Marsh then her sisters they said "thank you we have been trapped in there forever." she said " you're welcome but now we should worry about getting out of here cause we could take out the guards and then just bolt for the exit." they all agreed on that plan so they went to the door and opened it as quietly as they could snuck out and saw that there was only one guard to see if Palms powers were working she tried sinking the guard into the sand and saw that it didn't work so then she snuck up and Sunrise was about to pounce when Palm saw it was Smolder and stopped Sunrise. Sunrise hissed "why did you stop me?" Palm thought because I don't want to hurt a seemingly innocent dragon and was about to answer when Smolder turned around and saw her. He said "hi I don't think you are suppose to be out here." Palm said "listen I need to get out of here I am the leader of the Sandwatchers," showing her necklace that said who she was and her rank, "so just pretend we snuck by you and you didn't notice and we'll be on our way." He replied "okay sounds good " so they continued on and they managed to sneak all the way to the finale courtyard when she heard Thorn yell "where are they?!" she turned and saw all four of them standing in the courtyard and started chasing them. All guards that saw what was happening jumped up and joined in the chase. the four of them took to the air and flew over the walls knowing that the guards were close behind they put on extra speed and that's when palm had an idea she shouted "quick into the sand." they looked unsure but didn't argue and right before they hit the ground she created a tunnel and let them all in and closed it off before the guards could get them. She said "we should keep going I can make the tunnel lead us straight to my town." Lizard said "this is so cool." while Sunrise said "fine lets just get going." Marsh went next to Palm and said "you are pretty cool." She said "of course I am." and with that they headed off.
=== Part 2: Unknown Enemy ===
==== Chapter 6: ====
They had been traveling for what felt like hours when they finally reached Oasis. They came out and Palm noticed that the town had a new wall built around it she walked to the entrance and saw that there was a gate and that the guards were armed with more dangerous weapons they had what looked like swords but with three points instead of one Palm thought where did they get those swords from. They stopped all four of them and asked "identification?" Palm said "do you not know who I am?" that's when she saw one of the guards scales turn to a green color and thought what is going on who invaded us and she showed them her necklace and they said "okay Palm I think I need to take you to the palace." Palm started following them when Marsh stopped her and said "something seems wrong here like why didn't they know you." she replied "let's just follow them and figure out what to do later." one of the guards called "stay with us." so they followed them through the town. Palm noticed less shops and more tapestries of a mysterious Rainwing. They reached the center and Palm saw that the palace had been built up more and there was gold incrusted inside of the walls they went in and they got lead through winding tunnels until they eventually reached the center and saw Sting sitting on top of a throne and she noticed that this was the old council room she thought what did Sting do while I was away. Sting said "well, well, well look who we have here." Palm asked "where are the council members and also who is that Rainwing on the tapestries all over town?" Sting replied "the council members are in the dungeons and that Rainwing is me." Sting then turned her scales into a golden color with orange around the edges of her scales. Palm said "well I'm back now so let me just release the council members and take back my throne." she tried making the sand surround Sting. she saw Sting see her confused face and said "your magic wont work here I enchanted it so that anything inside of the city can't use any form of magic except for me of course." Palm asked "you're a animus dragon I thought that there was only animus dragons in the Nightwings', Seawings', and Sandwings'." Sting replied "everyone always forgets about the Rainwings we have had animus dragons as long as any other tribe." Palm asked "why take over this town instead of attacking the Sandwing palace?" Sting replied "well I had to get rid of the animus, that's you, also, I was taking control of your mother the queen so then I could get rid of anyone who could challenge her for the throne and then I would always be in control, guards send them to the dungeons." Palm noticed Sunrise and Lizard had already been taken away and Marsh was fighting back some guards she jumped in and kicked one dragon in the stomach and then saw one open their mouth and spray something out but then she felt a pain in her foot and realized that she just got sprayed by acid and then fainted.
==== Chapter 7: ====
She woke up to find herself in yet another cell and Marsh staring down at her looking worried he asked "are you okay?" she said "yes I'm okay I'm not a wimp." she tried standing up but fell down she looked down and saw that her foot was  melted and disfigured she thought I enchant my foot to heal. but it did nothing and she looked and saw that Sunrise and Lizard were in there too she asked "are you two okay?" Lizard said "yes I'm more worried about you." and Sunrise said "you need to pick better council members." Palm said "okay Sunrise I never thought that Sting would take over she was just the most powerful one and I thought that she would make a good defense dragon." and as if called by her name Sting walked in and said "now which one of you should I kill first the boring Mudwing, or maybe one of the princesses. I think the one who thinks my name is Sting that's a name I picked up from the Sandwing I killed and designed myself after." Palm asked "then what is your real name?" She replied "Jaguar." Palm said "okay Jaguar why don't you just let us go." Jaguar said "now i don't want you going to your mother to try and save her right now my plan is to control all queens especially the one who is willing to help you." Palm said "now no queen would want to help me no matter what." that's when she thought except for Aquamarine who owes me a favor and saw Jaguar look directly at her and then Jaguar said "not even Aquamarine?" Palm said "how do you know about that I haven't told anyone." Jaguar said "I just read your mind to see what happened." Palm asked "what else can you do?" she replied "just read minds, animus magic, and control the Rainwing, Sandwing, and Mudwing queens," she turned to look at marsh," I was the one who made the Mudwing queen send you because I knew that that would send Palm here to go by herself putting me in charge and of course I became the leader and made examples out of anyone who opposed me." Palm said "what about the council members?" then she heard someone in the dungeons say "we are right here." she looked and saw all the council members except for thorn. she asked "where is thorn." Qibli replied "she was killed because she opposed Jaguar." Grain said "I never knew that Rainwings could be this dangerous or powerful." Jaguar said "I hope I have changed your view on Rainwings." Dune said "you definitely did a good job on that but at what cost harming multiple dragons who have never done anything wrong." Jaguar replied, "they stuff wrong like opposing me." Palm looked around to see if she could find the keys and when she looked at the guard she had with she thought he looked really familiar but couldn't quite place it. Jaguar said, "goodbye hope you die a horrible death." and left and told the guard while she passed by him "stay here I'm going to go find some gladiators to fight in my new arena that just got finished."
==== Chapter 8: ====
Palm was still trying to figure out who the guard was and saw that he couldn't stop glancing at her. She asked "why are you staring at me?" He replied "I'm not supposed to talk to the prisoners." that's when it hit her she said "wait aren't you Tortoise?" Tortoise said "yes but of course I am also a Rainwing and my actual name is Monkey" Palm asked "how many Rainwings were in hiding here?" He replied "only about 30 dragons they all wanted to be more powerful and let the Rainwings have more territory." She heard the door open and saw Jaguar walk in she said "I need some fighters and thought it would be fun to put in the former leader of the town into the arena." she opened the door and grabbed Palm she struggled but couldn't break from her hold. Marsh was screaming, "take me instead!" but Jaguar just ignored him and Palm was fine with this because she didn't want to have to worry about him. She got lead though to the back of town were there used to only be a couple of buildings but now there was an arena which was as tall as the palace and could fit hundreds of dragons. she got led in through an opening where than there was five guards posted there she saw dragons from all tribes even Icewings who didn't seem like the kind of dragons that would come all the here to the desert. she saw that there was a Nightwing in the arena who she assumed was her opponent and thought i wonder who that is, also how did Jaguar get this much of an audience in such a short amount of time. that's when she got shoved in and saw Jaguar go onto a throne that gave the best view of the arena and then Sun came down into the arena and said "on one side we have a Nightwing who thought they could sneak in and get some information for the Nightwings, this is Nightslayer of the Nightwings!" the surrounding dragons were yelling "BOO!" and then Sun looked over and saw her and looked surprised but then looked at Jaguar and said "well look who we have here, a dragon who used to run this place and kept our glorious leader from power, it is Palm of the Sandwatchers" most of the Sandwings who lived in the city looked scared like they wanted to help her but couldn't because of Jaguar. Palm thought why is Sun working for Jaguar what did she do to him. the rest of the dragons were yelling things like "make it interesting!" "make her suffer!" she couldn't believe how much these dragons wanted bloodshed. then Sun said "claws up, ready and fight." he flung himself up into the sky and then Nightslayer ran at her and Palm jumped over her and shouted "wait! Nightslayer stopped and said "I have to kill you." Palm asked "why?" She replied "if I kill enough dragons I get let go and I can look for my missing son." Palm knew she wouldn't be able to stop her from trying to kill her so she poised her tail and when Nightslayer came next time as soon as she was in range she slammed her tail down into Nightslayer's neck she collapsed to the ground and roared in agony. Palm looked down and saw her gasping for air and blood spurting out of her neck. she convulsed once and then stopped moving, Palm thought I'm sorry I have to help my town and I hope your son is ok. Sun announced "Palm of the Sandwatchers wins." Jaguar looking very displeased said "send her back to the dungeons."
==== Chapter 9: ====
She got tossed back into her cell and Marsh instantly came over and asked "are you okay?" she replied "obviously I have no injuries." Lizard came over and looked her over for injuries and asked "what happened?" Palm answered "I had to kill a Nightwing because I knew they were going to keep trying to kill and never give up." Sunset asked "How did you know?" Palm replied, "she was looking for her son and thought if she won enough battles she would be able to find her son and you know how crazy mothers can be." Her sisters both nodded but at that point Monkey walked in and said "we need the Mudwing." Palm said "come on Monkey why not let us go it would be a lot better if the town  was under my control." Monkey said "you wouldn't let the Rainwings be feared and we need to get all the tribes under our control." Palm asked "how much do you even like Jaguar?" he replied "she is amazing." Palm looked and saw her ring glow red she thought now why does he not help us, probably too scared of jaguar to disobey her. Monkey unlocked the door and grabbed Marsh and pulled him out. when they had left Palm asked her sisters "any ideas of how to get out?" Sunset said "we could always try and fight our way out they are just Rainwings what are they going to do." Grain said "nothing just spray acid I mean look at Palms foot." Palm had completely forgotten about it and looked down and saw that it had healed only a little bit. Dune said "well we could try to escape when we get sent out to the arena." Qibli said "that won't work with that many dragons looking at us it would be extremely dumb of us to try that." Lizard said "what if we try to take out Jaguar." Palm remembered that she still had the knife in her mouth and said "well I do happen to have a have a weapon on me next time I am sent to the arena I will try to kill her." As if summoned she heard Monkey say "I'll just pretend I didn't hear that." she looked back and saw Marsh and he had cuts all over him still bleeding he looked  up and said faintly "I won." and then promptly fainted Palm checked his pulse and still felt it and then asked Monkey "what happened?" He replied "well he had to fight a Skywing and the Skywing got a lot of hits in but he was able to over power her and slit their throat." then he tossed Mash into the cell and then said "good night." before he left Palm asked "why do you follow her? and don't bother lying I have a lie detector ring so there is no point in lying." He responded "well she does have my love in a special dungeon and said he would be safe if I helped her no matter what but anyway good bye." she looked down at her ring and saw it glow green.
==== Chapter 10: ====
Palm was wondering what she could do to free everyone from Jaguar when Marsh woke up and asked "what happened?" Palm said "You were out in the arena and fought and got beat up by a Skywing." he asked "did I win?" Palm rolled her eyes and said "yes but anyway we have to escape and I am going to try to kill Jaguar." At that moment Monkey came back down and said "Jaguar wants Palm again." Palm walked up and when he unlocked the bars just followed until she was back in the arena she joked to Monkey "this place looks familiar." Monkey nearly laughed but stopped himself when he saw Jaguar. She looked to see who she was going to fight this time and saw a Rainwing in the arena and thought this will be easy but then remembered her venom injury and winced. she walked into the arena and Sun came out and announced "on one side we have..." Palm took this time to attack since Jaguar was looking at the Rainwing and launched the knife and saw it go straight to her neck but then it just bounced off Jaguar flinched and looked around and looked straight at her and said "look who tried to kill me of course I made my scales invincible." Palm thought oh no now how are we going to beat her. the dragons in the audience forced laughter and the Jaguar said "continue on." Sun said "as I was saying on one side we have a very disobedient Rainwing who also tried to kill our glorious leader Jaguar, I bring you Tamarin of the Rainwings." Tamarin looked like a very strong Rainwing and was double Palms size. Sun announced "and on the other side we have a dragon with one win and also tried to kill Jaguar, I give you Palm of the Sandwatchers.", "claws up, ready, fight!" he jumped into the air and Tamarin instantly charged toward Palm and she ducked just in time to avoid getting barreled in by him. She said "wait don't kill me." Tamarin said "no way I have to get out of here before I get killed." Palm looked and saw that Monkey turned a green color and had a worried look, and then it clicked that this was his love Palm said "wait I can help you if you don't kill me." he replied "you can't I don't even know where I am kept." Palm asked "what do you think would happen if we don't fight?" Tamarin looked thoughtful then announced to the audience "we will not fight." and then promptly laid down. Palm went over and joined him and loved the flash of anger on Jaguar's face but then she looked smug and said "okay if you won't fight I will send you back and then send out on of your sisters to face our most dangerous fighter."
==== Chapter 11: ====
Palm said "wait send Tamarin back and let me face your most dangerous fighter." Jaguar said "okay send Tamarin back." Monkey came over and took Tamarin away looking worried but still had lots of happiness in his eyes and then came back with a Nightwing who looked like they were very strong. she noticed that the Nightwing had silver teardrop scales by his eyes and thought those look pretty cool. Sun came over and announced "on one side we have a Nightwing who still has the legendary powers of the Nightwings and is extremely dangerous because of being able to tell what you are about to do, I give you Dragonkiller of the Nightwings." she saw Dragonkiller looking straight at her as if reading her mind she thought don't kill me just let me live. Sun said "and on the other side a very rebellious and strong competitor, I give you Palm of the Sandwatchers." he looked around and then shouted "claws up, ready, FIGHT!" he ran off and then Palm launched herself at Dragonkiller and he just simply stepped out of the way and she reached out with her claws but he dodged that too then he slammed his tail against her head and her vision was going in and out when she saw him start to go to bite her weak spot and then shouted in her mind AHHHHH and turned around and managed to surprise him and claw his snout. he looked very confused and stunned so when she went towards him he could only clumsily try and get out of the way but she managed trapped him against the ground and said "I will not kill and will release you if you promise to kill me." he asked "how am I supposed to know if you won't kill me?" She said "you can read minds you know I am trustworthy." She thought please let him see the good in me I never wanted any of this to happen, why Jaguar have to take control. He stopped moving for a while and then after a couple of minutes said "yes I can see that I can trust you and you can trust me." she decided to take that risk and let him go. he stood up and announced "I will stop fighting and wont fight no matter what you do to me and yes Jaguar even if you starve me I wont fight." Jaguar looked surprised and then announced "Oh well this is getting boring and it is getting late and it is my hatching day in three days so I need time to plan send Dragonkiller with the rest of the boring prisoners." Monkey came over and pushed them down to the dungeons and after locking them up said to Palm "thank you for saving Tamarin." Palm said 'no problem." then he said "goodnight." and Palm then fainted from exhaustion.
==== Chapter 12: ====
When she woke up she saw that Marsh was looking down at her and asked "are you okay?" she responded "yes  why would I not be?" then looked and saw that everyone was staring at her head like she had scales changing colors on her head she asked "what?" Lizard said "well you have a huge bruise on your head which doesn't look good." She heard Dragonkiller say "yeah sorry about that." Sunset asked, "who are you?" he responded "I am Dragonkiller." Sunset said "well that's a pleasant name." he laughed and said "well my parents obviously thought I was going to be a murderer." Marsh asked 'what have you done to Palm." Palm thought aww he cares about me i love him so much. Dragonkiller looked at her and Marsh amusingly and then she remembered he could read minds she thought are you able not to read my mind he did a slight nod and said "well it was before she pinned me and stopped me from moving so then I had to listen to her and that was surprising considering that I could read minds so I wouldn't expect to get surprised and attacked." Marsh said "you can read minds so what am I thinking right now." Dragonkiller said "this Nightwing has to be lying otherwise he would have escaped. also, I now have just gotten the idea of escaping because at first I thought that all I could be used for is killing based on my name and how Jaguar was using me." Lizard said "that's so sad I think that that's very mean of Jaguar." he said "well now I am refusing to fight so hopefully she'll get bored of me and let me go." Palm knew this wouldn't happen, and said "well I wonder who's going to be next to fight." just then Monkey walked in and said "the queen wants the Mudwing and Nightwing." they stepped forward and let themselves be taken out and then when they left and were out of earshot Sunset said "so taken a liking to a certain Mudwing." Lizard said 'yep you definitely love that Mudwing." Palm said "no he's just a friend." a handsome one Sunset rolled her eyes and said "sure whatever you want to say." Lizard said "just admit it you love him." Palm sighed and said "fine yes I do love him is that a crime." Sunset said 'it's just weird to love a dragon of a different tribe." Lizard said "but you seemed to be interested in the Nightwing." Sunset hissed "I will never love a Nightwing I'm taking a nap." Lizard replied, "I wasn't trying to make fun of you, I just want you to know I will support whoever you choose to be with and I will care about you no matter what." Palm said, "thanks." Sunset hissed, "whatever." and laid down for a nap. Palm thought I got pretty lucky to have Lizard in my life who will support me no matter what. I hope we can survive long enough to save everyone, no we will stop everyone it is a guarantee cant think of anything negative have to stay hopeful. Palm said, "we should take naps too, to save energy." Lizard said, "okay." and they both curled up for a nap.
==== Chapter 13: ====
After an hour Monkey came back with Marsh and Dragonkiller and tossed them into the dungeons and said "now she wants the Sandwings." Palm asked Marsh, "why were you out there for so long?" Marsh replied, "Jaguar made us fight a lot of things." Monkey said, "come on lets get going." Palm said, "okay." so Palm and her sisters walked with him all the way into the arena and looked for their opponent and saw that it was multiple Icewings. Palm thought this is hardly fair we only have three and they have five. Sun came out and said "on one side we have five Icewings who tried to escape and now will hopefully meet a gory death, i bring you Fjord, Snowfall, Icestorm, Cirrus, and Diamond of the Icewings." Palm saw the crowd boo them and Sun continued "and on this side we have the Sandwing princesses who hopefully some will die I give you Sunset, Palm, and Lizard of the Sandwings." palm thought I guess I'm a Sandwings now not a Sandwatcher yay. Sun said "claws up, ready, Fight!" he flew off and the crowd was chanting "death death death" Palm said "this should be easy since we are in the desert and Icewings don't like the heat." she saw all of the Icewings open their mouths and heard them building up their frost breath except one Lizard asked "why isn't that one joining in." Sunset said "I don't care lets just kill them." and with that she leapt to the Icewings and sliced one across the eyes and another in the underbelly. Palm joined in and took one that sprayed frost breath at her and ducked just in time and felt the coldness emitting off of it and then leapt and raked their snout and kicked their underbelly and got them pinned so they couldn't shoot frost breath. But then the Icewing suddenly twisted knocking her off of them and got flipped over. she realized she was pinned and the Icewing was building frost breath.  She looked over and saw that Sunset had already killed one and was facing off against the one she blinded and looking to her right she saw that Lizard had already pinned one to the ground and stabbed it with her tail. Palm shouted, "Sunset, Lizard help!" Sunset looked over quickly stabbed the Icewing she was facing off against and ran to Palm and barreled the Icewing off of Palm. Palm quickly pinned the Icewing before it could recover and looked down at the Icewing and said "sorry." and jabbed her tail down on the Icewings neck. then she jumped to the one that wasn't fighting with her tail raised ready to strike and asked "why aren't you fighting?" the Icewing cowered and  responded "because I don't want to I just want to leave." Palm asked "who are you?" she glanced up and responded "Diamond." Palm thought that's a fancy name and asked "isn't that a royal name for the Icewings?" Diamond said "well yes I am the only heir for the Icewing throne after all."
==== Chapter 14: ====
Palm looked down at her ring and saw that it was glowing green. Palm froze and thought this is bad if Jaguar has the only Icewing heir to throne that means she has control over the Icewings by now most likely. Palm saw that Sunset had jumped over and Sunset growled "why haven't you killed this one yet." Palm said "she is the only heir to the Icewing throne." Sunset looked surprised but then said "no the heir to the throne is Diamond who should still be in the ice kingdom." Diamond said "well I am Diamond." Sunset asked Palm "Why do you believe her?" Palm whispered to her "remember my lie detector ring well she isn't lying." Sunset looked back to Diamond and said "well we need to get you out of here." Lizard came over and said "why aren't we attacking this one?" Diamond said "well I am the only heir to the throne Princess Diamond, First circle, maybe." Palm confused asked "what is this circle business?" Diamond said "well in the Ice kingdom we have a wall that has circles and you get placed depending on what you have done and last time I was in the ice kingdom I was in the first circle but I might have gone down." Jaguar yelled down "why aren't you fighting?" Diamond looked up and said "I will not fight." Palm, Sunset, and Lizard all said "us too." Jaguar said "well at least there was some death take the princesses to their rightful dungeons." Monkey started coming and Palm said "Diamond we will rescue you." She responded, uncertainly "well I'm sure my mother is looking for me right." Palm said "well she might be under Jaguars control like the Rainwing, Sandwing, Mudwing, and possibly new ones." Diamond said "wait does that mean that she's an animus I thought Rainwings didn't have animus." Palm said "well apparently they do so just hang tight." Diamond said "well I will refuse to fight and not do anything until hopefully they think I am boring and release me." Sunset said "terribly idea just fight and win because if you don't most likely Jaguar will kill you yourself." Monkey finally came over and said "well time to take the Sandwings back to the main dungeons, Palm, Sunset, and Lizard come on." Palm thought I will rescue Diamond and then have to proceed and save everyone else but right now I think Diamond should be my main priority. they followed and when they got to the exit Palm looked back and saw where Diamond was being taken it was right through the wall of the arena. She thought okay secret passage I can deal with that I just have to remember it is on the ground and is under the fifth column of dragons from the queen. Monkey said "come on Palm hurry up." she said "sorry." and while they went back to the dungeons Palm was thinking of ideas to escape and save Diamond.
==== Chapter 15: ====
Monkey tossed them back into their cells and locked them up. as soon as they were in Marsh asked "what happened this time?" Palm said "we had to fight five Icewings and killed four." Marsh asked "why didn't you kill the last one." She said "well it turns out our friend Jaguar has the only Icewing heir." Dragonkiller said "wait she has Diamond how did that happen." Lizard said "who knows probably got kidnapped." Dragonkiller said "well if I go out and have to face diamond I can learn how she got captured." just then Monkey came in and said "she wants the Nightwing." Dragonkiller said "okay" and he left Marsh said "any major injuries." Palm said "not on me." Lizard said "maybe." Palm looked over and saw that one of her legs was frozen and asked "what happened?" Lizard answered "when I went to fight the Icewing managed to trap me for a while and breath frost breath on my leg and then I kicked him off." Palm said, "are you going to be okay?" Lizard said, "I don't know." Marsh said "well in the mud kingdom we would just breathe fire on it." Palm said "I'll do it." she went up to Lizard and called up a little amount of fire and as carefully as she could hit the frost breath and saw the blue scales start to melt and turn back into the more green scales Lizards normally were. Palm said, "well it looks like your scales in that area might always be more pale but at least they aren't frozen." Lizard replied "I can handle some discolored scales but I didn't know that frost breath could be cured." Marsh said "yep it can I was the one who discovered this everyone else was too worried to shoot fire on their injuries but I wasn't so I just breathed some fire on my wings and then it somehow healed and now we can heal it." Palm thought that so cool that he wants to help other dragons and said "Cool now we can heal some dragons in the city who got frost breath on them after we get control again of course." that's when Palm suddenly realized something she said "wait where did my council members go." they all looked over and saw that they were gone Lizard said "maybe they were moved because they didn't trust us not to conspire with them." Palm said "let's try escaping tonight." they all agreed. Palm said, "we should probably wait for Dragonkiller right, because he should be able to tell us what will and won't work." Sunset replied, "I don't think we should wait, I think we should get started working on the plan right now." Marsh said, "what if we start coming up with ideas now and then run them by Dragonkiller when he gets back." Palm said, "sure that works for me me, what about you Sunset?" Sunset replied, "yeah of course it sound good to me." and they started working on ideas to escape Jaguar and then take her down.
==== Chapter 16: ====
When Dragonkiller came back he asked "what is this plan?" Palm said "OK so using you we can see where dragons are coming from and when Monkey next comes we knock him out and take his keys then we run for the exit and as soon as we get out we hide deep in the sand." Dragonkiller said "I can see a couple of times where that works but telling you the times it works make it not work." Palm said "is there any way you could hint to the correct thing to do." He replied "nope all I could do is mention it and even that knocked out a few successful ones somehow." Palm asked, "how is that possible?" Dragonkiller replied, "I don't know I don't make the rules, its just what the future holds." Sunset spat, "who cares, as long as there is a chance we have to try it." Palm asked, "and remember that when we get out we have to try and rescue Diamond." Marsh replied, "I don't think any of us would want to just leave the only heir to the Icewings here, but what are we going to do." Palm replied, "we will just think of a plan and probably do some stealth to sneak in and get her back." Lizard asked, "what if when we get out of here, you use your animus magic to be able to disguise yourself and sneak in and get Diamond?" Palm said, "that's a good idea, Dragonkiller do you know if that would work." he replied, "well I don't think so because I think your magic would just stop working and you wouldn't be disguised as soon as you went back into the town." Palm replied, "well I guess we will have to sneak back in another way." Then Monkey came back and said "well its time for the Mudwing." as soon as he unlocked the door Dragonkiller jumped forward and smacked Monkey on the head with his tail and then pinned him to the ground. Palm walked over said "sorry but we need your keys." she grabbed them from around his neck and then they tossed him into the cell and locked him in there. Monkey asked, "will you stop Jaguar?" Palme replied, "of course we will and we will make sure to save Tamarin for you." Monkey replied, "thanks, now get going." Palm said "see you" and turned towards the others and said, "okay now we have to be extremely stealthy." they snuck to the entrance and then crawled through the palace until they reached the arena and saw that Jaguar looked very bored and then she looked up and met her eyes and said "well look who's trying to escape." and with that she jumped up and started flying towards them. They launched up and took off for the outer wall. when they reached the wall Palm looked back and saw that Jaguar was a lot closer than she thought she would be so Palm shouted "fly faster!" Lizard said "I'm flying as fast as i can." Sunset said "Okay." and shot ahead of everyone and nearly made it over the wall when it rose up by a lot and was towering over them. Marsh said "whoa that is way taller than any mountain I've every seen." Jaguar said behind them "Looks like I need to put you in a special dungeon." and then she flicked her tail and multiple guards jumped out of nowhere and hit them really hard with a club on their heads and they fainted.
==== Chapter 17: ====
When Palm woke up she saw that she had gotten moved to a much nicer dungeon and looked and saw that it looked like she could just walk out she went over to the door and thought I wonder why Jaguar would just lets us be able to leave, there is probably guards somewhere close by though and went to walk through it but there was an invisible wall that knocked her back a couple feet. Marsh asked "are you okay?" Palm said "yes Sunset Lizard are you okay." when she didn't hear a reply she looked around and found out that it was just Marsh and her. She thought where are they I have to find them. she asked "do you know where Sunset and Lizard are?" Marsh said "no clue I was busy being unconscious." Palm said "right. So where exactly are we?" Marsh said "a room with an open door." Palm said "well obviously we are in a room but there is an invisible wall in place of the door." A voice hissed "you are in a room I designed to be unable to get out of unless I want you like for tomorrow my hatching day." Palm whipped around to see Jaguar and said "why can't you let us go we won't bother anyone I will try flying to the other continent." Jaguar said "no I know who you are I have seen it in your mind you well do anything you can to help this town which you think is taking down me even though I am pretty much invulnerable." Palm thought well we will find a way to stop Jaguar I know it has to be possible I just have to keep hope. Jaguar said "it will be pretty difficult to keep hope when you die in the arena tomorrow." Palm said "just wait and see I am much stronger than I look." and thought I won't die I can't die I have to help save Oasis and stop Jaguar from taking over the world Jaguar walking away said "you think you can't die just wait until you see what I have you fight because you are but you are no match for what I have planned for tomorrow." Marsh said "well looks like we are in for some fun tomorrow." Palm said "well we have survived so far so why not survive a couple more fights and then figure out a way to escape." Marsh said "well I've been thinking if we could get a message to Dragonkiller he could try escaping since he could predict where all the guards and stuff are going to be." Palm said "that's a very good idea Marsh I think we need to figure out where he is but first lets get a good nights sleep." he said "yes that sounds good. good night." Palm replied "good night." and Thought we will save everyone no matter what it takes I will stay hopeful and will give it my best. I hope everyone is okay, I don't think Lizard or Diamond could survive many fights in the arena, hopefully Dragonkiller can escape and then come up with a plan with his future sight and help us. Palm then laid down for the night and fell asleep.
==== Chapter 18: ====
She was back in the Sandwing palace and her mother had just summoned her and her sisters for training. when she got to the arena used for training her mother, queen Thorn, said "okay today I am going to show you a trial which will be fair and just." Palm rolled her eyes her mother was never fair and she wished she could challenge her but she was too young. she saw that two guards brought in a prisoner and then locked her into the ground. She was a Sandwing and had very grainy scales that looked like they could blend into the sand well. Palm thought what fake crime did this dragon commit that is going to lead to them being severely punished. Thorn said "Grain you are being tried for coming to the palace to ask for money in order to pay for something as unimportant as an orphanage." Palm said "wait why not give her the money?" Thorn turned to her and hissed "don't disagree with the queen." Palm said "we have enough money." Thorn turned back to Grain and said "I will sentence you to twenty years in the dungeon guards bring her into the dungeons." Palm thought That is horrendously unfair I have to do something but what maybe if I make a sandstorm I can free Grain and run for it. Palm decided to try that plan and called on the sand to start coming and when she looked behind her she saw it coming made it a little bit bigger and yelled "sandstorm!" the guards ran for the great hall and Sunset and Lizard made it there next and last was Thorn who stopped and said "come along Palm." Palm walked to Grain picked the locks on her shackles and shouted back to Thorn "no I'm leaving and you can't stop me." Thorn shouted back, "fine lets see if you can survive this storm!" Palm turned to Grain "now come on lets leave." Grain asked "what about the sandstorm?" she replied "well I'm the one whose controlling it." she also asked "where was this city?" Grain looking impressed said "Oasis." Palm said "I'll meet you there. I have to make a quick stop at the treasury." Grain said "okay" Palm swooped down into the palace and made it to the treasury and the two guards just let her through and she grabbed as much as she could carry and thought this should be more than enough gold and treasure to pay for an orphanage. and ran past the guards and out into the first courtyard and flew for her life hearing guards yell behind her "stop!" she was always a good flyer though so she outflew them and eventually made it to Oasis where Grain was waiting and said "hey Grain do you think this will help improve this city and also I have all sorts of ideas." Grain said "well I talked to some people and they think that we should start a group to take control of the city so we can improve it." Palm said 'cool I have an idea what about Sandwatchers because we watch the sands for threats." Grain says "sounds cool." and they walked into the city of Oasis not knowing what was going to happen in the future.
==== Chapter 19: ====
When she woke up she saw that Marsh looked like he was still tired and asked "did you get any sleep." he said "enough" she said "you know if you didn't sleep enough you won't do well in the arena." he said "I'll be fine." she thought that's really dumb, he should really have gotten good sleep but instead just simply said "okay" and then they heard a demanding voice say "you're being taken somewhere else." she looked over and saw a new Rainwing and thought why couldn't I have monkey instead. she said "okay. where are we going?" the guard replied "you'll see." Palm thought ooh so ominous, this dragon isn't scary at all I could take him down, he unlocked the gate and took her and Marsh through the palace and then when they got out she realized that they where in Jaguars box and Thought why would Jaguar want us up here, she looked and saw Jaguar staring at them and Palm asked "why are we here?" Jaguar replied "well I want you to be able to watch the excitement with the best view I could provide, given that you are going to die today." Palm looked over into the arena and saw that Diamond and Dragonkiller were both in there. Sun announced "on one side we have our only surviving Icewing, princess Diamond of the Icewings." he turned towards Dragonkiller "and on this side we have the Nightwing with legendary powers it is Dragonkiller of the Nightwings." Palm thought as loud as she could DRAGONKILLER LISTEN WE THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ESCAPE AND ALSO DON'T KILL DIAMOND SHE IS THE ONLY HEIR TO THE ICEWING THRONE. Dragonkiller looked over nodded and launched into the sky and fly at insane speed dodging any attempt to capture him and after a couple of minutes he was out of view. Jaguar said "well that was a disappointment. Palm could you not warn any more competitors or try to help them out. Monkey bring in Sunset and Lizard and make them fight one of the Rainwings who disobeyed me." Monkey nodded and went and came back a few minutes later with Sunset and Lizard and from another direction came a different Rainwing holding what looked like five Rainwings and noticed that one of them was Tamarin and then heard a commotion and looked over and realized that Marsh had just attacked Jaguar she looked back and saw that Jaguar was about to spray acid and Palm yelled "watch out!" she saw Jaguar shoot the acid and thought oh no don't kill Marsh he means way too much to me. but then Marsh maneuvered so that the acid went straight towards Marsh's legs and it ended up hitting the shackle and he was free and flying for it.
==== Chapter 20: ====
Palm thought this is a dumb idea. and Jaguar had already caught marsh and tossed him into the arena while shouting to her guards " put away the Rainwings and instead grab the siblings." Palm thought who are the siblings? she saw some guards return holding two Sandwings who each had a super menacing look to them and they looked huge compared the rest of the dragons. Palm thought I am sure that Marsh can take on two Sandwings. Jaguar said, "I wouldn't be too sure these too Sandwings are very dangerous and strong" guards also grabbed Sunset and Lizard and brought them up to Jaguar's platform. Palm asked, "are you two okay?" Sunset said, "yes." Lizard replied, "yes, are you okay?" Palm replied, "yep I am okay." Sun went into the arena and announced "on one side we have a pair of Sandwing siblings who tried to overthrow our glorious leader I give you Rattlesnake and Cactus, of the Sandwings." the crowd was booing and Sun continued "and on the other side we have a Mudwing who is related to the queen of the Mudwings and just tried to escape I give you Marsh, of the Mudwings." The two Sandwings looked ready to kill anyone who got in their way Palm thought I hope you can do it Marsh. and sun said "ready, claws up, and fight!" the crowd started cheering and one of the Sandwings instantly took off straight towards Marsh while the other one went and started running in a circle to loop around him, Marsh was able to dodge the one coming from the front but still didn't see the one coming from the back so Palm yelled to Marsh "watch out Behind you!" Marsh whipped around just in time to be able to dodge the Sandwings tail. Marsh then scratched the Sandwings tail and cause it to start bleeding a lot. Jaguar looked toward her and said "don't be so annoying i enchant this dragon to be unable to speak." Palm tried arguing but nothing came out she thought Well I hate you Jaguar. Jaguar said "stop it I'm trying to watch the battle." Palm looked over and saw that Marsh had managed to kill the one that he caused to start bleeding but this caused the other one to shout, "NO Cactus, I will avenge you." and started to fight ten times harder than they had been before Marsh was barley avoiding their tail and Palm thought I have to try and help him, I can't just sit by and watch him die. So, Palm decided to try escaping too and leaped up and sliced Jaguars snout but her claws just bounced off harmlessly as if she had just tried to slice a rock and Jaguar looked over and said "you really shouldn't have tried that I enchant this dragon to obey my every command but still retain they're own thoughts. there now you can't interfere with the battles and now you can just sit tight and not bother me any longer." Palm thought Oh no now how will I escape if I physically can't.
=== Part 3: The Prophecy: ===
==== Chapter 21: ====
Palm thought wait why did she let me keep my own thoughts? Jaguar said "so we can talk to each other without you getting in anyone's' way. now watch the battle." Palm hated the feeling of her head turning without any thought from her and she saw that Marsh had pinned and was about to kill the other Sandwing when they twisted and got out of his hold, but Marsh was able to dodge the Sandwings strikes and then slammed the Sandwing on top of the head and knocked him out, then Marsh walked over and very quickly snapped the neck of the Sandwing, and then Jaguar said "okay now leave the Mudwing in there and send out Palm." She turned towards Palm and said, "Palm be a dear and go down there." Palm tried fighting it but couldn't and went down there and thought Oh no she could cause me to have to fight him. Marsh said "don't worry I won't fight you." Palm tried to say something to him but of course nothing came out she thought I don't want to fight you either but you may have to if you want to live. Jaguar said "Palm go ahead and fight Marsh." Marsh said "don't do it Palm I thought you loved me." Palm fought it with all of her might and was able to stay still for a few seconds before she unwillingly leapt forward and raked her claws along his belly while thinking I really do love you i wish you could understand that I am only doing this because Jaguar is making me. Marsh said, "please stop Palm, I won't fight you, so if you really want to you can kill me I guess." Palm thought no fight me don't just let yourself die Marsh.  when she was righted herself up she saw Dragonkiller coming in her peripheral vision and then realized that he was shooting straight for her and when he got to her he knocked her out. When she came to she saw she was siting in a cave with Dragonkiller, Sunset, Marsh, Monkey, and Diamond. She asked "where is Lizard?" Dragonkiller said "I couldn't find her but don't worry I can see a lot of futures where we rescue her." Palm looked down to check her ring and saw that it was missing and wondered where is she is he telling the truth. she also couldn't help but worry about the face Dragonkiller made which looked like face someone makes when they are lying. Palm asked "wait how did I get free from her mind control." Diamond said "well that would have to be me." Dragonkiller said "I had thought animus magic was gone from the Icewing tribe after Foeslayer and Arctic left." Diamond said "well somehow I got it and now it is proving to be useful." Palm looked around and saw Monkey and thought wait why monkey is here. Palm asked Monkey "why did you leave?" Monkey replied "well Tamarin managed to escape so I felt safe leaving and also, I really dislike Jaguar."
==== Chapter 22: ====
Palm joked "but I thought you said she was amazing." Monkey said "I know you didn't believe me but I was scared she was listening." Palm said "makes sense." She thought I wonder how Tamarin escaped, but at least that means that we have one more dragon to help us out she turned towards Dragonkiller and asked, "Now where do we go?" Dragonkiller replied "About that I have no idea." She asked "but can't you see the future?" he replied "Well there is like a million places we can go each with varying degrees of success but I can't tell you where to go because that lowers our chances for some reason." Palm thought where would I want to go, would I want to save Lizard or try and go back and stop Jaguar she said "first I want to rescue Lizard." Marsh said "I think I saw her being moved over the desert toward the Sandwing palace." Palm said "well I know where we are going." Monkey looked up and said "huh what where are we going?" Palm thought Monkey should stay more focused so that we don't have to repeat our selves as much and said "pay more attention and also to my mother." Monkey asked "who is you're mother? also why?" Palm said "my mother is the queen and we are going to try and rescue my sister Lizard who Marsh saw getting transferred to the Palace." They spent the rest of the day getting ready and before they left Marsh took her aside and whispered "you don't have to do this I know you don't like the palace." Palm said "why wouldn't I like the palace it's just that I don't like the queen." Marsh said "well I mean the queen is controlled by Jaguar." When Palm heard that she thought Oh yeah I should probably tell them about that. Palm said "wait just so we all know Jaguar does control the queen so we have to move quick and if she sees us it will be known to Jaguar where we are so we will have to move as quickly as possible." Dragonkiller said "this would've been helpful information so now nothing should change because I mean it was impossible we weren't going to be seen." Monkey said "I for one think I should stay back and not see Jaguar or someone Jaguar is controlling." Sunset spat "what are you scared I'm not scared of a lonely queen controlled by Jaguar I can easily kill them." Marsh said "don't go killing a queen but I still think we should go but maybe not all of us I think Palm and Sunset should go since they know the palace the best." Palm thought well I suppose that makes sense I do know where my mother would store dragons and we would know the layout the best, Marsh is pretty smart I wish I could be that smart. Palm and Sunset nodded their heads and Sunset asked "ready?" Palm said "I was born ready." and they flew off towards the one place she never wanted to return.
==== Chapter 23: ====
They flew for the rest of the day and they found a spot to rest and they landed down and Sunset said to Palm "hey Palm do you think that They'll be okay." Palm said "of course they have your crush Dragonkiller who can see the future." Sunset swatted at her with her wings and said "shut up lets get some sleep." Palm said "goodnight." and laid down and very restless sleep thinking about what could have happened to the others and Lizard. She was woken up by Sunset who said "come on we don't know how much time we have." she replied "yes lets get going again." after a couple hours of flying the palace finally came into view palm thought you know I could probably just give up now let her take me become loyal and that would be fine. then I wouldn't have to go to the palace I could just fly back to Jaguar and be at peace. Sunset said "come on don't slow down don't tell me you are scared," Palm said, "of course I'm not scared." Sunset asked, "then why did you slow down?" Palm said, "no reason I just happened to slow down. Palm looked up and saw that they were right by the palace and thought we are too close we should probably go to the ground. Palm said, "we should head lower so that they can't see us as easily." Sunset replied, "okay." and they drifted down so they couldn't be seen. after they landed just outside of the palace Palm asked "okay what's the plan?" Sunset said "we didn't think of one." Palm thought idiot I thought there would be a plan and said "seriously you thought we would just arrive and what barge in move quickly and get Lizard out and then get back out with no trouble." she replied "yes?" Palm said "well that is a terrible idea I think we should be very sneaky and also I am going to at least create a hole for us to escape to." she moved the sand away just outside the entrance of the palace and created a sufficient hole that could fit one dragon at a time. Sunset said "it is so cool that you can do that and you're an animus I feel like I got cheated out I mean I am just a regular dragon." Palm replied "do not go thinking that you are not special you are brave and better at leading and would make an awesome queen." Sunset said "you really think so." Palm said "completely confident I mean I always wanted to be you growing up." She answered "you really wanted to be me I thought you hated me." Palm said "no you've always been a bit mean or rude but you always forgave us or made up anything mean you did to us." Sunset replied, "really like what? I've always felt like I have been too mean to you and Lizard." Palm said, "do you remember that time when you destroyed Lizards favorite but then you made a new toy yourself for her." Sunset replied, "yeah I guess I can be pretty good sometimes." Palm said, "your always good, anyway we've spent enough time talking lets go in and rescue our sister." and they snuck inside the palace.
==== Chapter 24: ====
When they got inside Palm instantly noticed how quiet it was and thought this is very weird there is always some dragons out even when it is dark out, and whispered "where is everyone?." Sunset replied quietly "probably sleeping though usually there is some dragons out here." they walked through the winding passages and finally reached the dungeons and stepped down Palm motioned that she would take the farther half and that Sunset would take the closer half Sunset nodded and they separated Palm hated this place it always reminded her about how her mother would lock them in the dungeon if they were bad. she started at the back of the dungeon and worked her way through she paused at one that had someone in looked but it was just a weird looking Seawing. they had mainly Seawing features but had a weird splotch of black scattered here and there. Palm asked "who are you?" they replied "I am Bagworm." she replied "what is a bagworm?" he answered "It is my name why is it a weird name?" she replied "yes we tend to name ourselves after animals and plants." He replied "I am named after an animal the bagworm it is very widespread in Pantala." she thought what is Pantala, where is this weird dragon from, and what is a bagworm and asked "what is Pantala?" He looked surprised and said "well I was not supposed to talk about my parents always said things would end badly if I mentioned it at all but uh... well..." Palm spat "just spit it out already." he whispered "it's the other continent." she thought wait the lost continent is real I always thought that was just a myth that people told each other as just a saying of some kind and stood there for a minute trying to comprehend what she just heard when she heard Sunset say "got her now lets get going." Palm snapped back and turned toward Bagworm and said "just stay in here it is the safest spot and just don't say anything to anyone about what happened here." Bagworm responded with "okay." and then turned towards Sunset and Lizard and thought yes we got her back this means we have one more dragon to help us also, one of my sisters back so now we can all be together. they left and when they got back outside Palm said "that was too easy they had to know we were going to come." while Palm was trying to think of reasons why it was so easy, Sunset asked Lizard "are you okay?" Lizard responded with "of course they did nothing to me." Palm looked towards Lizard to see if she could see any injuries on Lizard and then saw something weird happening her eyes were turning white Palm asked, "lizard why are your eyes turning white? what did Jaguar do to you?" and then Lizard looked up and said in Jaguar's voice "there you are."
==== Chapter 25: ====
Sunset asked "how are you doing that Lizard." Palm knew what was going on here and said "Jaguar I should have known you would take over more than just queens. I have one question though why not just constantly control them." Jaguar replied " well this gives them a feeling of control." Palm thought that won't matter for Lizard she would never want to follow Jaguar Through Lizard Jaguar replied, "well I think I can be pretty convincing and also its not like Lizard could stop me." Palm looked around and saw Sunset edging toward the queen and decided to confuse her the same way she confused Dragonkiller in the arena and thought as loudly as she could HEY LOOK OVER HERE HEY HEY HOWS IT GOING YOU SUCK JAGUAR. Jaguar looked very confused and then said "you can't trick me." and she moved very quickly and slammed both palm and sunset to the ground. Palm thought hopeful Lizard can fight it enough to not kill us Jaguar said, "I wouldn't make Lizard kill you I want to do it in person." then Palm asked "wait how do you control them because the queens look normal but Lizard does not." she replied "some plant named Breath of evil that was given to me by some hybrid named Bagworm." Palm thought how could he give an apparently super strong plant to an evil animus. also where did this plant come from is it from the lost continent, wait is bagworm under her control. Jaguar said "yes of course Bagworm is under my control I plan to take over the entire continent and then the other continent too." Sunset laughed and said "the other continent isn't real." Jaguar said "let me disprove this for you." she looked at the entrance and Palm saw Bagworm come out and then saw something weird coming from right behind his wings they looked like another pair of wings and when he finally came into the light she saw that they were another pair of wings and gasped she heard Sunset gasp next to her too. Sunset said "it can't be real." Palm noticed that  Bagworm had normal eyes and not white eyes as he said "it is very real and also goodbye." he took off and flew away Jaguar yelled "I enchant you to come back." and then looked confused when he didn't come back. Palm thought is he an animus did he make it so that Jaguars magic couldn't work against him. Palm felt Jaguars' grip loosen on her as Jaguar got angry and jumped up flipping Jaguar on her back being careful not to injure Lizard in the process and Sunset saw what was happening and Palm shouted "fly! quickly!" Sunset asked ,"what about Lizard?" Palm said, "there is no saving her right now we just have to leave her behind." Sunset said, "okay." and they leapt into the air and just flew without looking back and thinking too hard about leaving Lizard behind.
==== Chapter 26: ====
After a while of flying in random directions they finally stopped to figure out where they are Sunset pulled out a map from a case under her wing and looked and said "I think we are right here by the Cloud of Claws Mountain range but I have no idea where exactly they are hidden I just know it is south of oasis." Palm said "well if you look there is this peninsula right here that could be it because it is south and there is mountains there which could be where we were." Sunset said "I agree I think we should go to bed and then in the morning start the journey back to them." Palm agreed and thought I am really tired right now. and as soon as she laid down she fell asleep and drifted into a dream. She was standing in the palace hoping to finally be the best out of her siblings for the inspection that her mother always gave them. she saw her mother walk in and say "okay today is time for your next inspection first we will see how smart you are with Pyrrhia history." Sunset whined, "that's hardly fair, Ms. Bookworm here spent all night studying." Thorn said, "well maybe you could take a page out of Palm's book and study yourself, anyway the first question is how long ago was the scorching." Palm quickly replied "Around 4,000 years ago." Her mother looked surprised and said "correct, now what was the name of the parents of Darkstalker." Palm answered "Foeslayer of the Nightwings and prince Arctic of the Icewings." Mother asked, now mostly directed towards Palm, "now how did Arctic die?" Palm replied "well it is debated but most likely it his son Darkstalker making Arctic kill himself using animus magic." Sunset said "cool" Her mother turned towards Sunset and shouted "that is not cool that shows the dangers of animus magic and why you shouldn't do it!" Palm saw her turn her head to her when she said animus magic and thought how did she find out I was an animus, I have been being as careful as I can whenever I use it. The queen said, "okay now current monarchs who is the leader of each tribe." Palm replied " Sandwings: queen Thorn, Seawings: undetermined because the war Mudwings: Mudslide, Rainwings: Tegu, Icewings: Snowstorm, Skywings: Ruby ,Nightwings: not known." Palm stuck her head up in pride and was ready to be praised when her mother said "okay little know it all time for battle evaluation." Palm felt crushed and dipped her head down and thought what did I do wrong I just studied for this. Sunset exclaimed, "yes Battle evaluation I am good at this." Lizard came up to Palm and said, "don't worry you mom she may be acting mean but she really loves I mean her throne room is decorated with more tapestries of us than anything else like treasure." Palm replied, "thanks that does make me feel better." Her mom looked back and shouted, "keep up!" Palm said, "well lets get going." and they sulked behind her mother.
==== Chapter 27: ====
when she woke up she saw that it was around midday and saw Sunset still sleeping and went over and shook her awake. Sunset grumbled and sleepily mumbled, "lets me sleep for longer." Palm said, "no we have to go meet back up with our group so that we can stop Jaguar and save Lizard. this woke up Sunset who said "let's get going." Palm said, "now that's more like it." they leapt up and Palm hoped they were correct on the location of their friends. Sunset said "I bet you can't wait to get back to that Mudwing crush you have." Palm replied "his name is Marsh and you have a crush on Dragonkiller." Sunset said "it's funny that both of us would like someone from a different tribe when our mother was very strict that we shouldn't 'contaminate the royal Sandwing bloodline'" Palm laughed and said "that sounded exactly like mother. But anyway she can't decide who we want to be involved with." Sunset replied, "yeah as long as we always support each other we can get through anything." Palm said, "yep as long as we stay together." they stopped talking and then After a while of flying Sunset asked "do you think I would make a good queen?" Palm said "definitely you are a good leader and also very strong so you could stay queen for a long time." Sunset said "well I think it would be better if you became queen because you already have experience leading and you did a good job of it except for hiring a evil council member." Palm said "I don't want to be queen too much pressure and also it is not my kind of gig." Sunset said "well I still think you would make a good queen" Palm couldn't help but thinking what if I did become queen, I don't think I could handle all the formalities and having to not be able to be with Marsh. then they flew in silence until they approached the mountain range they were going towards and  finally reached the talon peninsula and looked around for the hiding spot. Sunset, asked, "what will we do if we can't find the cave?" Palm looked around and saw Marsh poking his head out of a cave and replied, "well I think that would be a dead giveaway." and pointed to Marsh then shouted "Marsh!" and zoomed down into a hug with him. she looked around and said "hi Dragonkiller and Monkey." Sunset joined them and Marsh asked "are you okay?" Palm thought really his first question is asking how I feel, he must love me so much. Palm replied, "good neither of us got hurt." Marsh looked past as if waiting for Lizard to come after them then after a while frowned and asked, "where is Lizard?" Palm answered " well apparently Jaguar got ahold of someone from the lost continent named bagworm who gave her a plant that allows her to mind control people and she has a hold of lizard." Marsh said, "that's not good." then a look of confusion went across his face and he asked "wait the lost continent is real?" Palm said "yes it is."
==== Chapter 28: ====
Dragonkiller said "yes I knew it is was real." Sunset asked "how?" He replied "visions. I don't know what but something bad happens over there at sometime in the future but not in our lifetime." Marsh said "wait what is this plant from the lost continent?" Monkey said "I think I heard Jaguar talking about this something like breathe of evil." Palm said "well that sounds menacing. anyway to stop it?" Monkey said "I didn't hear her talking about an antidote. Dragonkiller have you heard anything?" Dragonkiller started to say "I think I saw..." and then he crouched down and looked like he was fighting a major headache. Sunset asked "are you okay?" and Dragonkiller looked up with a blank face and said in an ominous voice,
"When everyone but five are under control
the five will come being
the one who followed because of imprisonment
the one who has kept their power hidden
from their family
the one who is shunned by their tribe for
something they can't control
the one who stole from their tribe for the benefit of others
the one who betrayed their siblings and tribe
when these five can get together they will
get the wings of fire which will
trap the jungle cat forever."
Dragonkiller looked up and said "I hate those." Palm asked "Is that what I think it was?" Marsh said "that was a prophecy." Dragonkiller replied, "yeah that was a prophecy, I've seen this one cross in my head before, but it has never come out in words before, well I mean none of mine have ever come out in words." Monkey asked "who are the five?" Dragonkiller replied, "I have no idea all I see in my mind is just a flash of colors and armies of dragons all with white eyes." Palm said, "but hey at least it sounds like Jaguar will be stopped, because she has to be the Jungle cat." and right at that moment there a voice that said "I don't like the sound of that." they turned around and saw two Rainwings with white eyes and they swooped into the cave.
=== Epilogue: ===
Snowstorm was going to meet the Sandwing queen Thorn for some reason she thought I hope that it is for the border dispute or maybe finding Diamond. she landed down at the meeting point and saw Thorn coming her way and land down in front of her. Snowstorm asked "why did you call this meeting?" Thorn replied "to talk about the border dispute and maybe get it solved once and for all." Snowstorm said "finally you are going to talk about so are you giving it to us I mean you are already big enough." Thorn said "no I think Sandwings get it all and we will fight for it." Snowstorm said "we just got out of a war do you really want to fight over a small piece of land." Thorn said "I have another proposition what if we just give it to some other tribe and create an alliance with them and us two." Snowstorm thought I would never let our land get taken by another tribe. Snowstorm asked "why would we do that then the land would be separate from the other tribe." Thorn said "well what if we combine the three tribes." Snowstorm couldn't believe what she was hearing she yelled "are you crazy we would never ever mix royal Icewings with lowly Sandwings and some other tribe. what where you even thinking for the other tribe." Thorn replied "Rainwings." Snowstorm thought something weird is going on I will figure it out. Snowstorm asked "are you crazy, why would I want to share land close to Rainwings of all the tribes." Snowstorm thought well if this isn't going to be resolved anytime soon I should just ask about my other problem. She asked, "By the way have you seen my daughter Princess Diamond?" Thorn replied "yes I have." Snowstorm said "great bring the princess to me and then we can talk about the border dispute." Thorn said "well I haven't seen her but Jaguar has." Snowstorm asked "who is Jaguar?" a new voice said "that would be me. Snowstorm looked up and saw a Rainwing and thought okay so Jaguar talked to Thorn about this but why not Tegu. Jaguar said "well I am kind of controlling Tegu and Thorn and Mudslide and now you I enchant this dragon to obey my every command no matter where I am." Snowstorm was going to talk but couldn't and thought what is going on. Jaguar replied "well I have full control of you because the more dragons in my control the less I have to worry about the five." Snowstorm thought who are the five? Jaguar said "the five are from some brand new prophecy that says they will beat me." Snowstorm thought well I choose to believe in prophecies and think you will be defeated. Jaguar said "okay stop this go to the ice kingdom and make sure every Icewing eats this plant so I can control them and if they ask you why say it can protect you from a new disease." and with that Snowstorm flew away thinking I know the five will come and save us all.
