Flooded Pyrrhia fanfiction

Hmmm…I see you’ve clicked on my trashy sorry-awesome fanfic. Please drop a comment down below as I’m struggling finding motivation 4 this cuz I don’t think anyone is reading it.
When the continent of Pyrrhia mysteriously flooded, so did the dreams of many. A seawing prisoner teams up with an infamous Skywing criminal in an attempt to find The Flooding’s true cause.
=== Chapter 1: The Outlaw ===
Meteor was the type of dragon who lived by his own rules. Or, he was now anyway. After the flooding everything and everyone he cared about was taken away. And then the Hivewings came. But he quickly found out that life on the streets suited him really well. And over time he went from a lowly thief to the most wanted criminal in Mainland Pyrrhia. Crashing the Queen’s hatching day party has a few side effects. And now he roamed the cramped mountains pondering what to do next. No, it wasn’t time to kill Bloodstone yet. None of her heirs were suitable to take the throne. But her arena. The arena that had not seen use in centuries was now bursting with life again, and not in a good way. He’d never attempted a rescue mission on the arena prisoners before, but had spent weeks studying it. “Now or never” he thought “Man, is queenie going to be pissed. 
=== Chapter 2: The Prisoner ===
Larini was not used prison. The cramped compartments, the waterless walls, all of it felt so…unnatural. She was locked in one of many neighboring cells, all the same with stiff, stone walls, and iron bars. She tried once again to move her wings, but as always it was in vain. The cramped bands locked around her once beautiful teal wings had felt as if they had begun to rust to her diluted, dirty scales. And then there were the rest of the prisoners. She was kept with what everyone called the “Special Case” prisoners, which was just a fancy way of saying The Queen’s Favorites. There were a few other dragons in there, 2 nightwings with skyfire collars, a light orange SkyWing-a no fire, a rainwing who was always tearing at her bonds, she had a muzzle on, and a sad looking silkwing. All of the dragons had their wings bound, and the nightwings had some special devices clamped to their collars, which prevented them from using their fire. Throughout the 2 months she had been here, she had gotten to know the other prisoners pretty well. With the guards stationed outside of the room. There were 2 nightwings brothers named Obsidian and Swiftfang, with obsidian being a mind reader, and Swiftfang, a seer. The no-fire’s name was Sunburst, and was in here to scare her firescales sibling into obedience as the Queen’s personal guard. The rainwing didn’t talk, as she was always muzzled, but seemed to tear at the chains. The last dragon, the Silkwing wasn’t muzzled, but he didn’t talk, he just…sat there. The door suddenly opened, and 2 Hivewings came strolling in. Luckily for her, they past by her cell without so much as a glance, but stopped at Swiftfang’s. The guards exchanged a quick glance, and one plunged their tail stinger into the scrawny, black dragon. Swiftfang slumped to the floor, the guards not bothering with additional bonds, and took him and flew away. They rested a quick glance on Obsidian’s cell, silently saying “you’ll be next”. 
Obsidian began to whimper. “You know what they make him do don’t you”. Larini did, Obsidian had told her. Bloodstone forced him to read the future, for her own gain. When he didn’t cooperate, Obsidian had to pay the price. Larini tugged at the metal collar on her neck, which was anchored to a long chain hooked on a clasp on the wall. Unsurprisingly the sturdy chunk of iron didn’t budge. The collar didn’t even have a lock, it was welded shut, with the chain being the same way. Obsidian was still whimpering, and Sunburst seemed to have just woken up from a nap. 
“Tell me the story again Sunburst. The one of the Skywing rebel”.Sunburst sighed and began to speak. 
“Soon after the great flooding, a young skywing began to make a name for himself. Nobody knows where he came from, or who he was before, but quickly became one of this new world’s most famous criminals. Nothing else was known about him, other than that he hated Bloodstone. He evaded her capture numerous times, and has the single highest bounty on his head. The queen hates him, she is obsessed with finding him. But if he hates the queen so much, who’s to say he won’t get us out of here”. As the last echos of Sunburst’s story faded, the room was silent. Larini took comfort in the story, the last shred of hope she’d managed to hold on to. Sighing, Larini layers down to sleep.
Larini was roused from her sleep, by the sound of dragons entering the room. A single Hivewing had come, bearing small trays of food and water. Opening the small slat at the bottom of the cell doors, he slid in the tray’s one by one until he reached the rainwing’s cell. Warily opening the door, the Rainwing began to rear up and growl at him, swiping with her claws. With lethal efficiency the hivewing plunged his wrist stinger into her and she slumped to the ground. He then set to work chaining her up against the wall. Hooking her limbs into metal bonds attached to the wall, he carefully removed the muzzle from her face. This Hivewing’s venom, she had learned calmed a dragon’s violent instincts, to the point where they were almost asleep. He began spoon feeding her, as she gazed off into the distance, barely paying attention. When he finished feeding her, he first put the muzzle band back on, but left her chained to the wall. Larini sighed, the guards did this sometimes. A few hours later, another guard walked in, this time bearing the limp body of Swiftfang. Depositing him in his cell, he then strolled over to Obsidian’s. 
“Good news for you Nightwing. Your brother decided to cooperate today, but Bloodstone feels a bit bored. Don’t worry, I’m not here for you”. The guard strolled over to Larini’s cell. “Listen Seawing, Bloodstone wants to have a chat”. He opened the door and walked into her cell, not bothering to use his venom. Before Larini could do or say anything he had a metal band clamped around her snout. Larini attempted to claw him, but he ducked away. “Uh uh uh, I wouldn’t do that if I were you”. He unhooked her chain from the wall and clamped it tightly. The guard began leading her through the palace. 
=== Chapter 3: Chains and Cages ===
Not long after, they reached the private throne room. The one where guests weren’t allowed. Bloodstone sat on a throne embedded with various gems, and lined with exotic furs. The guard hooked her chain around a large stone column, which was littered with claw marks. Larini began to tug at the chain, and attempting to run away, but it held firm. The collar itself had no lock or key, and the chain only had one on the end the guards usually carried. The links were melded to the collar, which was forever entwined around her neck. Bloodstone clearly had it made with the intention it would never be removed. The queen rose from the throne, her vermillion scales towering over Larini. 
“So, how are the accommodations we’ve provided? Good I hope. I’ve heard it’s quite… cozy in there”. Larini stalked towards Bloodstone, claws sharp and ready, but the chain ran out just as she reached her. “Anyway, I have an important meeting scheduled for today and I would like for you to be… in attendance”. A guard pulled a stone lever and a black cage dropped from the ceiling. The guards shoved Larini into the cage, and attached her chain to a small hook on the wall. The lever was pulled again and the cage rose up to the top of the ceiling. “Now if you’ll excuse me I have guests to greet”. 
Panic began to rise her. The room was completely empty now, save for her in the cage. She tugged at the bars, and tried to reach her claws out to pick the lock, but it was no use. The band on her muzzle was tight, digging into her skin. Frantically clawing for help she began to ram herself into the walls of the cage, trying to break free. The chain, the collar, it was all too much. She needed to get out of here. Tugging at the chain, she yanked and yanked, but to no avail. Did the queen even intend to ever take her out of the cage? But it was that moment when everything changed. A ruckus sounded just outside the door, and the great panels of wood swung open. A skywing with deep red scales and a striking orange belly walked into the chamber. With a flick of his tail, he had pulled the lever and the cage began to lower to the floor. “Gotta admit this is extreme, even for Bloodstone”. He said. 
=== Chapter 4: Prison Break ===
Larini couldn’t believe her eyes. The cage had lowered, and the skywing shoved some sort of device into the lock. The cage door swung open, but Larini couldn’t take more than a few steps out before the chain stopped her. The skywing moved in to inspect the collar, and seemed to study it for a few minutes. “I can get this off, but it’s going to hurt”. He stated. “I don’t care just take it off” Larini whimpered. He nodded and a burning pain shot down her neck. The skywing was breathing his fire to melt the metal. About a minute later of that sizzling pain, he stopped and removed the collar. He then grabbed what seemed to be some sort of pliers and pried the wing bands off of her. 
“Go forward, take the first right, and go to the room at the end of the hallway. There’s a secret passage behind the tapestry with the sheep, it leads to a small cave behind the castle. Now GO!!”. 
“Wait, there’s more prisoners, they’re-they’re down there somewhere”. Larini gestured to the staircase just outside of the room. “Go, I’ll handle it”. 
Meteor certainly wasn’t expecting there to be a cage in the inner throne room, much less a Seawing inside of it. But the Seawing had told her that there were other dragons here. So Meteor found himself gliding down the polished stone staircase, and was surprised to see no guards at the entrance. The queen must’ve had some other job for them. Prying open the lock on the door, he found a dirty prison room with 8 cells. 5 of those cells had dragons in them, 2 NightWings, a rainwing, a silkwing, and a strange looking skywing. 
“Who-who are you?”, the skywing whimpered. He didn’t answer and set to work picking the locks of the cages. He had managed to free the rainwing, when footsteps sounded at the top of the staircase. 6 hivewings cam rushing down, and they looked PISSED. The rainwing had managed to hit 2 with her venom, before a hivewing had jabbed his tail stinger into her. 
“I’m sorry, but I can’t free all of you” Meteor exclaimed. He picked up the limp body of the rainwing and prepared to fight is way out. 
“WAIT” one of the NightWings screamed, “Go to the Jade Archipelago. Find the one who can see-“. His screams were cut off as a hivewing paralyzed him. Seeing the opening, Meteor took up through the staircase, still holding the rainwing who was beginning to regain consciousness. 
“Can you fly?” He asked urgently. The dragon nodded and began gliding beside him. Exiting through the same secret passage he had directed the Seawing through, they landed in a small cave where he found her crying. “Really. Not even a thank you”. 
=== Chapter 5: Crossing the Continent, or what’s left of it ===
Larini was sobbing. She could still barely comprehend the events of the past hour or so. Time seemed to stop, but pass by like lighting.”Tha-Tha-Thank you”, she muttered to the skywing. “Did you find the rest of them”. He gestured to the rainwing beside him, the very same one from the prison. “Just her, the hivewings found us before I could free the others. Anyway we need to get moving. It’s only a matter of time before Bloodstone sends out search parties. One of the dragons in the prison told us to go to the Jade Archipelago”. “Swiftfang”, Larini whispered “He’s a seer, we should trust him. By the way, I never got your name”. “It’s meteor” the skywing exclaimed. 
They flew all day, Larini barely able to comprehend what had just happened. They were nearly half way there, and there was a good window of time before Bloodstone’s guards got this far out. The 3 of them had taken shelter in a small cave. Her wings were exhausted and the adrenaline that had kicked in had left her. Still, she couldn’t believe it. She had escaped. The burn on her neck had filled its pain during the long flight, but now it was a torrent of flaming agony. Still, she was thankful the collar was gone, though it would no doubt scar. The three of them had barely talked during the flight, but now, reletivly safe, Larini was considering striking up conversation. “So” she said to the Rainwing, “what’s your name?”. 
“Starfruit”. She grunted. 
“Do you know why you were captured?”. 
Starfruit seemed to think for a moment before finally saying “Same reason as you. Bloodstone’s never gotten her talons on a rainwing before”. Deciding not to question further, as there was clearly something Starfruit was hiding Larini asked 
“So, will you be coming with us to the Jade Archipelago?”. 
“Yeah, I’ll decide where to go from there. The council may not get anything done, but they have a strict agreement that Bloodstone and her troops hold no authority on their soil. Prisoners have escaped before, and surprisingly she has always honored that agreement.” As Starfruit finished her statement Larini truly realized that she could be safe. She could live without having to worry about a big target on her back. But Swiftfang had told them to find “the nightwing”. Although there were very few nightwings living in the Jade Archipelago, Larini had a feeling he wouldn’t be easy to find. Her thoughts drifted back to the other prison dragons. Were they doing ok? Sunburst could probably manage, she’d been there the longest, the silkwing, Larini didn’t know. But if the Hivewings caught wind of the information Swiftfang had provided them, she didn’t know what would become of him and Obsidian. 
They 3 of them rested for a few hours, and then it was back to flying. Larini’s wings were really starting to get tired by now, but she pressed on. If they kept up their current pace, they could arrive at Sanctuary in a few hours. Sanctuary was famous for being a strict no violence zone, so they would be safe there. Once again they said little during the flight, and by midday they had reached the mountain city. Meteor check them in to a modest hotel, comfy, but not extravagant. Starfruit immediately left to go sun herself, and Meteor said he had things to take care of. He gave each of them a few gold pieces and told them to find some food. Larini was wandering the city, after catching herself a fish in a mountain lake. A fish. A real fish. The seawing eventually found herself in an old knickknack store. She was browsing through the various trinkets, which all had little to no practical use or value. A collection of different teeth, a rabbit fur knapsack, and other random objects lined the shelves. Larini found herself drawn to 3 rusted metal bracelets, all identical to each other. “Excuse me” she asked the dragon at the counter “How much for these?”. The dragon, a long, skinny skywing with dark red scales looked up from the scroll they were reading. They pushed their glasses up on their snout “On those old pieces of junk. Ughh I’ll give ‘em all to you for a gold piece. I want those eyesores OUT”. Larini grabbed one of the coins and laid it on the counter, which the dragon accepted, and walked out with the bracelets. 
As the sun began to slink into the mountains, Larini headed back to the inn where she found Meteor relaxing by the Fireplace. “We’re heading out tommorrow, we have a lot of ground to cover. If all goes well, we should be at the Jade Archipelago by midnight”. “Midnight? So we won’t be sleeping tomorrow?”. “We took a risk resting here, Bloodstone’s guards are probably on us by now. They may even catch us on the way out”. “Well why don’t we just leave now then, that’s less risky”. “Ha, didn’t think you soft seawings had it in yoy to think like that. If that’s what you wanna do, I’ll grab Starfruit and we can slip out under the cover of Darkness”. 
They left soon after, and soared throughout the entire night, only stopping to sip some water from a pond. The company arrived at the tip of the Jade Peninsula by midday, where a large channel was the only thing separating them from saftey. “We need to be careful, one of the more aggressive Seawing villages is east of here. They are NOT fun to deal with” Meteor lectured. “They’re most active at night, meaning we should be safe, but be careful just in case. Starfruit”s scales shimmered as she melted in with the ocean scenery. “Correction, YOU guys should be careful. Without waiting for an answer, the Rainwing took to the sky, and began soaring across the channel. Not wanting to be left behind, Meteor and Larini followed. All of a sudden though, a crashing could be heard beneath the waves. Two dragons dove up from the ocean, one with blue-grey scales, and the other with deep green ones. “Just our luck today huh”, Meteor mumbled. 
=== Chapter 6: Attacks and Revelations ===
Starfruit was nearly across the channel, when she heard the loud roar of an emerging battle behind her. “Finally” she thought “A chance to let out all that anger.” Two seawings had flown up and were attacking Meteror and Larini. They seemed confused, why would a Seawing be with a skywing. She reared back and soared across the water. Changing her scales at an unmissable glaring red, she reared up and shot a jet of venom at the first Seawing. It hit his wing, and seconds later the dragon had collapsed into the water, a small blurble of bubbles being the only indication that he was alive. The other one, distracted by his fallen comrade, had dropped his guard, and Meteor seized the opportunity, cutting a wide gash down his leg. He too, fell into the water. “Come ON” Starfruit yelled. Larini and Meteor warily followed her as she glided to the other side of the channel. 
Meteor was surprised. Surprised that Starfruit could, and more importantly would, fight. They had touched down on a small ledge on the far side of Jade Mountain. “Nice moves” he stated. Starfruit gave him a small glance as if to say “ugh stereotypes” at him, and that was the last they heard of the topic. Larini seemed to be in shock. Her scales were flashing rapidly, as of trying to signal danger. “WHY DID YOU HURT THEM!!!” She screamed. “I HAVEN’T SEEN OTHER SEAWINGS FOR MONTH, AND WHEN I DO YOU FIGHT THEM?!?!”. “Look Larini. They attacked US. Were we just supposed to let them.” Larini bit her lip as of trying to hold back tears. “Whatever, we need to find that nightwing”. Meteor grunted. Taking off into the sky once more, the three of them looped around Jade Mountain, gliding with the wind. Curving around the mountainous spires of rock that jutted up from the island, they eventually reached the archipelago beyond. Meteor could see Larini’s eyes light up at the sight of the picturesque beaches, and cerulean ocean waves, interspersed with sandy beaches and billowing palms. 
“The council is headed in Jade mountain. There aren’t many NightWings here, so they can probably help us figure out who swiftfang was talking about.” Meteor stated. Pushing forward through those final winds, the three of them landed in a large cave mouth on the outside of Jade Mountain. Unlike the other islands, it was a mountain through and through, with the cave being a few yards above the sea line. Finally allowing herself a chance to breathe, it took all of Larini’s efforts not to collapse to the cool, stone floor from pure exhaustion. 
“Ex-Excuse me” she stammered “We were sent here by a Nightwing named Swiftfang. He says there’s someone here we need to meet” Suddenly a dusty yellow sandwing emerged from the shadows beyond the cave mouth. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and had various leather pouches strewn about his body. 
“Oh-oh um, I think I may know something who can help with this. Th-this way” he stuttered. The three of them followed him through the tunnels, which were illuminated by torches. They eventually reached a large cavern, which seemed to be nestled deep within the mountain. A few dragons paced about, not paying any mind to the new visitors. “Forseeeeeeeeer” the sandwing called out “I have some dragons who want to see you.” As the last words were uttered, a Nightwing emerged from the shadows, with talons full of maps and scrolls. 
“Umm…yes what do you want?” He stammered. Larini glanced at Meteor, assessing what he thought of the situation, whose only response was a shrug. In the end Starfruit was the one that spoke up. 
“We were sent here by a Nightwing named Swiftfang, with an urgent message to find a Nightwing somewhere here.” The professional tone of her voice surprised Larini, having never heard her talk like that before. The Nightwing- Forseer’s eyes lit up. “You-You’ve seen him?!” 
“Yeah” Larini replied “He’s Bloodstone’s prisoner. Do you know him?” 
“He’s…he’s my son…” 
=== Chapter 7: The Prophecy ===
“Whoa, wait what?!” Larini gasped. 
“Typical” Meteor snorted
“Ok? So I’m assuming your the Nightwing he was talking about” Starfruit exclaimed. 
“He-he-he’s alive. Is my dear Obsidian with him as well?” 
“Yeah” Starfruit responded. “Neither of them are in great shape, but they’ll hang on.” 
“Thank the Moons” Forseer said, as he let out a deep breath. They could feel the weight lifting off of him, knowing that his sons are alive. 
“So, um, what is it that you should tell us?” 
“Oh-um yes, you see, there’s a-uh-um…a prophecy. Yes a prophecy. It goes like this
When the land is covered in tides of blue
And all hope seems lost
A flicker of hope shall be found
But one shall pay the cost
One rules from mountains high
One from deep below
Their hidden secrets must be found
For the tides to flow
Free the ones trapped inside
Free the ones across the land
Free the ones in the icy depths
Return the land with Pride
=== Chapter 8: Starfruit breaks the 4th Wall ===
“Ughhhhhh, now you’re going to tell us we have some great destiny and will be prophecy's chosen dragonets of destiny to end a war or something.” Meteor sighed. “I only came because that Nightwing told us to. And even then it was mostly their idea.”
“Hmmmm, land covered in tides of blue, all hope is lost blah blah blah, free dragons from mountains…” Starfruit began to mumble. “Welp, it seems pretty obvious to me. It’s obviously some higher entity spinning our very world from the beginnings of her favorite book series, and posting it somewhere for all to see.” Forster glared at Starfruit as she said those words, his gaze an unflinching mask of scolding anger at her recent theory. 
“D O N O T B R E A K T H E F O U R T H W A L L. E V E R”
“Welp, that was strange” Meteor replied.
