Book 1: Viper's Bite

== Prologue ==
Viper smiled as she opened the small chest. Inside it was a small plant. Well, it was a small sample of breath of evil, but slightly...modified by Viper's experiments. Turns out access to Thorn's treasury was quite worth posing as a stupid outclaw for 5 months, Scraping down and bowing to the queen, like braindead Rainwings. The voice of the mysterious dark dragon echoed through the cave, "Viper? is it ready?" She sighed, "Terrestrial, it's coming! And be patient!" Terrestrial sighed. Viper rolled her eyes-fancy new tribe! So what? His fighting skills wouldn't be much use without her breath of evil! Terrestrial asked, "How did you acquire this, anyway? Isn't it a dangerous substance?" Viper chuckled. The hideous scars across her face began to look as if they were smiling. It was truly a twisted sight. Terrestrial shivered. Viper smiled, "Well, I found a couple Mudwings wandering around-apparently, their names were Sora and Umber, apparently. Either way, they've got ties to some very important people. I have one in my cave and the other was the one who got me the breath of evil-he gave it to a Skywing. This skywing is a Scarlet supporter, so it was easy to sway him to my side. Eventually, the plant came to me and now I'm the most powerful dragon in Pyrrhia!" Terrestrial interrupted, "If you are, then why are you living in a stinky cave?" The cave was located in claw mountains and was so deep nobody thought to check it. It was damp, dark and smelly. Viper sighed, "You want to go out and show our experiments into the world? I'm sure we'll get a great reception!" Terrestrial snorted. Viper was your typical Sandwing, but with several scars across her snout and tail. Her venomous tail barb was not curled up, but poised as if Viper was ready to use it at any moment. Her golden color contrasted well with her dark brown underbelly. Terrestrial's shape was like a Nightwing, with the horns. What was weird was that white covering that we'd call a plastic wrap. His underbelly was filled with pitch-black scales. Terrestrial's entire frame was built for stealth, but his combat skills were as good as Deathbringer! He was part of the Cavewing tribe, which were a group of dragons that lived deep in the caves. They dated back to the founding of the tribes. A group of Nightwings felt that instead of joining the other tribes, they wanted to go down deep to hide their dark history. And then they evolved to Cavewings. Viper said, "You want to know what this does?" Terrestrial sighed, "I don't, but you're going to tell me anyway, so go ahead." Viper sighed. Such impudence! If it weren't for her, he'd still be lurking around caves, hiding like the coward he was. She thought to herself, I just need to use him to rule them all, and then I can get rid of him. I can and I will. She said, "It brings dead dragons to life." Terrestrial snorted, "What good does that do us?" Viper smiled, "Everybody's got some skeletons in their closet."
== Chapter 1 ==
Cardinal yelled, "Last one to the pool is a rotten egg!" His friend, Jamale, raced after him. He yelled, "Oh, you're not beating me!" They ran, their footsteps pounding down on the cave floor. Cardinal realized he was losing and put in a desperate dive and plunged into the icy cold water. He shivered momentarily, before his natural heater kicked in and he felt warm again. Jamale dived in after him, a resigned expression on his face. He pointed towards the surface, indicating his desire to talk. Cardinal swam up. As his head burst through the lake's surface, he said, "Yes, rotten egg?" Jamale laughed, "Yeah, right. You just got lucky!" Cardinal said, "That's easily why I keep on winning, right?" Jamale snorted, "We know which one of us is academically smarter." Cardinal protested, "Hey! I got a 79 on the last test!" Jamale nodded and said, "Yeah. And what did I get?" Cardinal sighed, "96." Cardinal was dark blue, with white scales lining his underbelly. Cavewing's claws were meant to be sharp, so they could cut through prey instantly. His wings were tucked into his back. They were an extreme shade of blue, which was unseen before him. His face was also lined with those blue scales. Nobody really knew who his parents were. All that was known was that his dad left him in the orphanage at 20 days old. His mother's identity was unknown. Jamale was light grey with black wings and ivory-white horns. Another weird thing about Cardinal was that he had no horns, unlike typical Cavewings.
