Animus Island

==Author’s Note ==
I made this fanfiction originally when I was 12 years old soooo, prepare for some cringe! I have way too many hybrids (*sobs in hybrid creating obsession*). Anyway I’m trying to make this better and I wanted to do that here, so for anyone who reads this *sharp inhale* enjoy my chaotic hybrid mess. So many hybrids… This’ll be from Silver-Rose’s perspective.

==Current State==
Pantala and Pyrrhia are at peace, except for a band of kidnappers known as The Deathly Crows who are causing unrest in communities. Travel between the two continents is easy, and even encouraged with boats and bridges. Hybrids and other mixed tribe dragons are extremely common and towns like Possibility are popping up all over the continents. The sudden vanishing of hybrids and other mixed blood dragons causes great concern amongst the tribes.

==Details Of The Island==
The island is built as a prison. As the characters will discover it has magical barrier around as well as bracelets that go around each prisoner’s right front wrist. 
===Bracelets===
These bracelets are enchanted to bind to the dragon that wears them and they are unable to be removed unless a special pebble (owned by the creator of the island) is near them. They only bind to dragons who are an animus, or not of one tribe. If the bracelet detects any form of blood from another tribe, it will bind to you and you will be trapped on the island. The bracelets do not affect anything not attached to them. 
===Wristbands===
The wristbands are owned by the guards and allows them off and onto the island.
===Barriers===
There is a barrier around the island that extends about five miles overhead, three miles out to sea and one mile below ground. 
===Resources===
A river runs through the island providing fresh water. Fish are catchable in the oceans and there is a small mountain stream in the caves where axolotls are found. Wild boar and moose are common in the large forest. 
===Size===
The island is about the size of Australia (2.968 miles squared)
===Shelter===
There are caves, forests and premade tents, gardens and campsites.
===Climate===
Near the northernmost part of the island is colder, better suited for part IceWings. There’s the ocean part for SeaWings, a slightly warmer area near the southern part (for SandWings), and a forest for RainWings. The MudWings have some muddy landscape on the bank, while there are huts perched on the mountains for SkyWings. There’s a miniature Hive for SilkWings, LeafWings and HiveWings.

==Chapter One==
Silver-Rose shook out her darkened wings, lashing her tail. He blinked up at her mother, in all her elegance as the RainWing bared her teeth at a misbehaving NightWing. Queen Glory was shades of lilac today, flecked with dark blue. She was sad about her daughter’s departure for Jade Mountain, but she hid it well. Hints of red flared around the RainWing’s ruff as two guards seized the mutinous NightWing and dragged him off. “Sorry about that, Rose, sometimes mommy has to be tough.” Glory apologized sweetly, glancing at the arriving Deathbringer. The two dragons twined their tales as Deathbringer settled next to the Queen. The two pressed their foreheads together lovingly as another pale lavender colored dragonet swept into the treehouse. Princess Firefly extended her star speckled wings majestically. 
“Ready to go?” Glory inquired, peering at her daughters.
”Yes!” Firefly exclaimed happily, her scales flashing a vibrant yellow.
Silver-Rose nodded quietly, her scales a more docile, raspberry pink with silver teardrop scales by her eyes, and bands of scales on her legs. She was quieter than her Queen-To-Be older sister, calmer. More bookish than the other. Rose pushed the thoughts of her mother, father and sister out of her mind and turned to fly off after a now green colored Glory. Soon, the rainforest disappeared beneath them, and gave way to rolling plains and chartreuse hills. Mountain peaks sliced the clouds in the distance, towering over the landscape to cast it into shadow. Descending into the depths of the alp’s gaze, they arrived at the darkened entrance to Jade Mountain Academy. Firefly’s scales brightened to an eye Schrödinger shade of yellow with spots of cyan. Deathbringer took a seat next to his Queen as Glory bid her daughters farewell. 
“Bye mum!” Firefly exclaimed speedy off after a quick hug. Glory turned to Rose.
”Stay safe, darling.” She hugged the young dragonet and gave her an encouraging nudge towards the entrance. As soon as Rose departed, she heard Deathbringer sobbing loudly. Rose walked through the mouth of the cave, eyes turning upwards at the rock spiraling above her. A banner with large flowers spelled out the words Welcome Back Students! and their thick aroma blanketed the stone hall. Silver-Rose turned in a slow circle, wings pressed against her spine and tail curled as not to trip anyone. She spied Fatespeaker, a cheerful NightWing with small teardrop scales by her eyes and an energetic aura. Rose padded slowly towards Fatespeaker, and the NightWing noticed her. 
“Hello!” Fatespeaker trilled. “You’re Princess Rose, aren’t you?” Rose nodded shyly as Fatespeaker riffled through her array of scrolls. “Here you go!” Fatespeaker passed the scroll to Rose. 
“Thanks.” Rose murmured. “Sleeping caves are down that way!” Fatespeaker pointed. 
Rose began to walk down an off branching cave, before she stopped at her cave number. 114. She thought as she paced inside. The opening was empty for now. She selected a hammock that was dangling from the ceiling and climbed in, curling her tail around herself. A few moments later, a bubbly SilkWing popped his head in. He spied Rose and grinned. He waved a Violet talon at her and paced over, smiling. 
“Hello! I’m Plum.” He smiled, his light green wings shimmering. 
“Rose,” The hybrid replied, peering over the edge of her hammock. “Nice to meet you.” 
A quiet LeafWing emerged into the cave after Plum. Rose scanned her thoughts, the LeafWing’s name was Venus. A wave of cooled fire swept over Rose’s mind and she turned to find a nervous looking SkyWing standing in the doorway. Silver-Rose’s eyes widened as she recognized the dragon, noting her copper scales and Sky blue eyes. Peril, Queen Scarlet’s champion stood in the door, shyly glancing away from them. Plum trotted happily over and extended a talon, as Peril naturally flinched back. Then Rose noticed a small earring dangling from Peril’s eft ear. 
———Flashback——— 
Turtle clutched one of the earrings in his talon and smiled slightly, he wanted to help Peril. “Enchant this earring to never melt against Peril the SkyWing’s scales, and allow her to cool her scales at any given time, and control the temperature.” Peril looked up excitedly as Turtle dropped the earring in her talons. She stared in wonder as the amber accessory glinted in her claws, unmelted and flawless. She clipped it into her ear and closed her eyes for a moment, before Turtle offered a talon and Peril reached out nervously and shook it. “Ahhhhhhh!” Turtle yelled making Peril jump with fear that she had hurt him. He grinned jokingly and showed her his unblemished claws. “You little!” Peril helped tackling him, she’d never really wrestled before, she never could. 
———End Of Flashback——— 
The memory played in Peril’s head for a moment as she shook Plum’s talon. “I’m Plum!” The SilkWing exclaimed. 
“Peril.” Peril replied, a slight sigh of relief escaping her. 
“That’s Rose.” Plum pointed to Rose who was still peering at Peril. The hybrid offered a weak smile, still thinking about how Peril’s fire scales had vanished, animus magic truly was amazing. A tribrid paced into the cave, Rose sensed that she was nervous in her mind. Small embers seemed to glow like trapped fireflies under scales, and the cast a soft warm light onto the gray stones. Her amber colored scales were dappled with spots of black, and her wings were muted shades of violet and purple. She had a graceful tail with a LeafWing-like fin on the end. Her bejeweled talons clicked against the stone below. 
“Hello!” Plum greeted, his tail swishing back and forth like a dog. 
”Hello.” The tribrid, Rose saw in her mind that her name was Honey, replied, rubbing her wrists anxiously. 
“I’m Plum!” The SilkWing grinned. 
”Honey.” The tribrid replied. 
”That’s a pretty name!” Plum answered. Rose saw in his mind that the SilkWing was trying so hard to be liked and to make everyone feel at ease. He’d seen enough death and destruction, and he respected that others needed space sometimes. Rose pulled herself up and looked over the edge of the hammock, talons curled into the leaves. Peril gave Rose a slight smile. The rest of the winglet trailed in. An IceWing named Lynx, a MudWing named Umber, a SeaWing prince named Turtle, a SandWing named Blossom, and a NightWing named Ironfangs. Rose recognized most of her Winglet, whether it was from a scroll or just general knowledge. Turtle was also a known animus. Rose yawned slightly bored, when a gong sounded, making her jump violently. Plum noticed and gave her a reassuring smile as he trotted out of the cave. 
“Lunchtime!” The SilkWing called over his shoulder. Rose slid out of her hammock, landing neatly on the stone floor before pacing out of the room, followed by Honey. Rose quickly slipped the sounds of buzzing minds into background noise like Moonwatcher had taught her. She stepped into the eating cave wincing at the loud noise, some of which could still be heard in her head. She retrieved some fruit from a pile near the river and bit into a large blueberry, savoring the sweet flavor. Honey took a talon-full of strawberries and scurried over to a corner to eat. The rest of the winglet was eating together, while Rose took to pacing the fruit pile. She selected a papaya and began to eat it, savoring the sweet flavor. She curled her long tail around her NightWing talons, feathery frill docile shades of red and coral. Rose caught onto threads of other’s thoughts. 
I wonder if Thrush is here… 
Look a HiveWing! Sheesh, having four wings must be so weird. 
Wow, that SilkWing’s scales are so pretty! I wish mine weren’t such a basic shade. 
When’s suntime? 
Rose slid the mental voices into background sound of ocean waves, just like Moonwatcher had taught her. Plum bounced over to her and took a banana from the fruit pile, before offering a gold colored candy. “Want a honey-drop?” He asked. Rose nodded. “Thanks.” She replied quietly before eating the small golden droplet. She smiled slightly, the honey-drop was sweet and delicious. 
“Where’d you get this?” Rose asked, swallowing the candy. 
“My mum makes them!” Plum replied, popping another in his mouth. He grinned and padded away. After lunch, three gongs sounded and the Jade Winglet meandered towards their first class, Art. The Art teacher was an unusual violet-colored dragon. They had IceWing spikes decorating the tip of their tail and back of their neck. They had larger more SkyWing-like wings. The dragon turned, realizing her class had arrived and beamed. 
”Greetings, students!” She exclaimed. For a moment smoke curled off of her moderate purple scales, before the gray coils vanished against the stone ceiling of the cave. “I’m Violet.” Rose heard someone’s mind think No, really? Sarcastically. 
”I am a hybrid,” Violet continued. “As some you of may have guessed. I am IceWing and SkyWing with controllable flamescales. I can breathe steam as well.” Rose tilted her head, hybrid abilities were always fascinating to her. Rose got her mother’s abilities, but her father’s color palette. While Rose could change her colors, with the exception of the silver teardrop sand bands about her limbs, she typically inhabited a galactic pattern. Preferring dark colors to lighter ones, Rose was typically seen has dark purples and blues, hints of red and coral but with flecks of green as well, just like a real galaxy. Rose was removed from her musings by a sharp, throat clearing cough from Plum, who’d been seated next to her and noticed her vacant expression. 
Plum settled his mint colored wings against his back, talons tapping the floor energetically as they listened to Violet teach. Violet concluded her lesson about the rules of her classroom and the school just as the gongs sounded. Rose lingered behind the group to inquire something of the teacher. 
“Miss?” Rose spoke up, her voice barely reaching a whisper. “Yes?” Violet replied turning. 
“I was just wondering where the music room-“ She was cut off by dark cloth falling over her face and an hard smack on the back of her head. She collapsed and the last thing she remembered, was Violet screeching with fury, and the temperature rising. 
==Chapter Two==
”Rose? Rose?” She awoke to warmer than usual talons shaking her shoulder. Rose shifted, blinking back the pain fuming behind her eyes from what she assumed was a rock having been beat against her head. She sat up, wobbling slightly before the dragon shaking her came into focus. Violet had departed from Rose’s side and took to pacing the small cell keeping them contained. Rose’s ears finally registered soft harmonica music coming from another dragon who’d been penned up with them. The unfamiliar dragon paused his symphony was he noticed Rose’s gaze upon him. 
“Howdy.” He stated, a long, oddly prehensile tail flicking at his side. “I’m Fox, and you?”
”Rose.” The hybrid princess replied, beginning to grow even more nervous. 
“What about you purple?” Fox looked over his harmonica at the SkyWing IceWing hybrid who was trying to melt the bars. “It’s Violet not purple.” Violet replied, scowling. Angry snarls could be heard from farther down the hall. “Who’s growling?” Rose asked, turning to the yellow and blue tribrid. 
“Another ‘impure’ as we’re called here.” Fox replied, ending the statement with a humorless chuckle. Rose tilted her head.
”Not pure of blood.” Fox answered, looking aggrieved. “We have to have purely the blood of one tribe to count as ‘dragons’ in this person’s mind.”
Fox’s barb tipped tail twitched as a silky voice crooned through the bars of the cell.
“Well, well well.” A SandWing purred, his dark frill sliced and jagged. “What’s we got here, Foxy? Found yourself a Princess, haves we?” The SandWing reeked of alcohol. Fox snarled deep his throat. 
“I’d go before I do something I’ll regret, Jackal.” Fox replied, barbed tail lashing dangerously as Rose felt Violet on her other shoulder. 
“Awwww little kit-Fox wants to protect his fwiends.” Wether it was the demeaning nickname or aggravating baby-talk, Fox lunged, barb tail tip sliding through the bars before the metal door clamped around his tail. 
Fox released a strangled gasp at the bars’ sudden tightening around his barb. He tugged his bruised tail out and rubbed the rapidly appearing injury. The SandWing, Jackal, released a high pitched, yipping laugh. 
“Your name should be Hyena.” Violet spat, her nose wrinkled with disgust. Jackal scoffed, his own barb sliding over the sand coated floor. Jackal staggered out of the prison, calling jeering comments to the imprisoned dragons. Fox retreated back to his corner, muttering frustratedly. Longer than average fangs peeked out from beneath his pale scales. 
“So,” Violet began. “What tribes are you, Kit-fox?” Fox snarled slightly at the name. “I suggest you use my real name.” He replied, dangerously calm. “Purple.” 
Violet sighed. “Fair enough, now, what tribes are you?” 
“Sand, Ice, Rain.” He replied, shifting the color of his wings to a vibrant, electric blue. “What about you?” 
”Rain and Night.” Rose replied. 
“Sky and Ice.” Violet answered. “How many of us are in here?” 
”Every single dragon with mixed blood is in here, I reckon.” Fox replied, scratching a tally mark on the wall. Rose noted that there were two others next to it. 
”How can one prison be so large?” Violet asked, incredulous. 
”It’s naturally expanding.” Fox replied. “Once a Cell’s max capacity is reached, it expands just enough to fit a new dragon.” 
As if on cue the sound of clanking chains distracted them from their conversation. Keys clicked into the lock on their cell and a dragon was tossed inside, snarling and clawing at the bars. He faced Fox, Rose and Violet and bared his fangs, spiked tail lashing. 
“Take a chill pill darlin’, we ain’t gonna attack you.” Fox settled in his corner again harmonica clutched in his talons. The seemingly tribrid settled, hackles still raised and tail lashing a feline-like manner. 
“And you are?” Fox asked, almost bored sounding. 
“Venusblossom, but just call me Venus.” The dragon replied, spikes clattering against the ground. 
“Part IceWing, right?” Fox observed, nodding to Venus’ tail. 
”Sand, Night, and Ice.” Venus replied, coiling himself with his spine pressed against the steel bars of the cell. Rose jumped slighty as she allowed her mind reading ability to scroll through the thoughts around her. 
Stupid bars, One particularly angry dragon thought. I’m a seasoned assassin, yet these ping SandWing keep me contained? 
Violet was worrying about her students, and wondering who all was attacked. 
Venus had his thoughts on an unnamed SkyWing. 
I know what you are. The scarily calm thought came to her from a blank mind, one she hadn’t been trying to listen to. She turned slightly to find Fox staring evenly at her, eyes narrowed. 
Yes, Princess, I know what you are. Rose acted as if she’d never heard the thought statement and drew her powers back in so she could hear only herself. She noticed a simple leather band engraved with ruins around her left front talon. 
“What’s this?” She asked, displaying the band for Fox, before noting his matching one. 
“They slap them on all the dragons, prevents us from escaping if we ever do get out of our cells…or something like that.” Fox replied, Rose felt the temperature rise drastically and saw Violet’s scales smoking. 
”Burning it off ain’t gonna help, purple.” Fox replied, before blowing into his harmonica once more. 
“Stop all that noise!” A guard barked from somewhere in the distance. Fox took his playing down a bit, but continued it nonetheless. Soon another dragon joined their cell, this time Rose recognized the golden scales. 
“Sunny!” She exclaimed, helping the smaller dragon to her talons. Sunny rubbed her head, blood trickling slightly down her neck. Fox tossed a small strip of cloth to Rose, which the Princess used to dab at Sunny’s wound. 
”Where are we?” Sunny asked immediately, staggering and wobbling as she stood up and looked around. 
”A prison.” Fox replied, slight sarcasm edging his accented voice. 
Sunny fixed Fox with her forest green stare. “I knew that, thank you very much.” Sunny sounded displeased, the most angry Rose had ever heard her. The Night/Sand hybrid was quiet, and bubbly most of the time, a radiate blossom of warmth an energy in a school of halls and stone. 
Fox shrugged and went back to carving something on the floor. 
”Why are we here?” Sunny asked, looking around and taking inventory of the dragons in the cell. 
”Because we’re deemed impure.” Rose replied, blooms of dark crimson with white at the center began to trickle over her scales, indicating rage and fear. 
“Impure?” Sunny echoed, searching for a better explanation. 
Fox set his harmonica at his side and began to pace the room. “Animi and dragons of mixed blood, are considered impure to our racistcaptor, too dangerous to be free in society, hence the prison in an unknown location. Which I’m guessing is buried in a sand dune.” His talons scraped across the particle coated floor. 
Moments later they heard a guard co ming towards their cell, assuming they were getting a new inmate, they all look up expectedly, only to find a SandWing guard with shackles. He shackled them together, legs chained. Rose could feel Violet’s scales increasing in temperature but the metal didn’t melt. He placed a leather bracelet around Venusblossom’s talon. Venus hissed and tried to bite the guard but the guard only chuckled. He had a thin metal wristband around his right front limb, it probably signified something. The SandWing guards led them out of the prison and up to the surface. 
==Chapter Three==
Rose was forced to fly in sync with everyone. Theirs chains rattle and clicked together as the flew. Suddenly the sand dropped away to reveal a steep cliff face and the ocean crashing against the shore. Rose could just barley see the SandWing leading them over Violet’s wings. They slowed and seemed to pass through something, because Rose felt a momentary constriction coursing over to body as they flew over an island. Suddenly she was jerked down into a dive, forced to descend by the chains binding her to several other dragons. They landed and were unshackled. The guard quickly leapt into the sky and was pursued by a furious tribrid who seemed to bang into a glass dome while the SandWing kept flying. The tribrid stumbled back to earth, wave-like wings flopped on either side as he panted. Judging from the spikes littering the back of his neck, his prehensile tail, and the scales on his snout, he was an IceWing, RainWing, NightWing. The dragon snarled, but looked defeated as he pulled himself up, Rose could’ve sworn she heard a slight whimper escape him. 
“Oi, all dragons gather here!” Fox called from the center of what seemed like a campsite. The crowd shifted inwards towards Fox, whose prehensile tail was lashing. Fox lifted a talon, counting the amount of dragons stranded here. 
”Wow, there’s an impressive amount of us.” Rose caught his mutter. She noticed Venus slipping off behind the crowd, and began to follow him. Rose spread her wings and took off, flying upwards as high as she could before she crashed into an unseen barrier. It’s like they were in a fish bowl, a glass dome containing them, destining them to swim about in the same water forever. 
Rose looked down on the island. A river divided the island and a cluster of brown tents were visible. There were large mountains with huts build atop, they seemed to slice the clouds. Rose flew up to one of the hats and landed on the creaky planks. It was colder up here, better suited for IceWings or SkyWings. Rose spied the shimmer of a lake near the beach, with more tents clustered around it, that was where the massive band of imprisoned dragons stood. The island held an outstretched-talon shape, with claws that faced north and seemed to be snow-capped. Smaller patches of sand were visible as well as a deep descent into the earth. The cave mouth was shadowed from Rose’s vantage point and she felt the planks creak as someone landed next to her. Violet’s scales still steamed slightly in the cold air, despite the cooler temperatures. She paced towards Rose before looking down at the condensed island below. 
“I’d admire the beauty if I hadn’t been dragged here in chains.” Violet stated, looking down. Rose made a slight “Mmhmm” sound as she gazed over the roiled landscape. Rose settled her wings against her back, scales shifting to lighter shades of purple as the sunlight was greater up here. Did RainWings required sunlight to charge their scales? Rose wondered if that was why, when her mother arrived, dragons called her scales dull. Even though the dragonets had a skylight. She knew there must be a purpose behind the suntime, but unfortunately, RainWings weren’t that interested in learning about their abilities. She shook off the thought and leapt into the air again, trying to fly to the peak of the mountain before being halted by the barrier. She looked down, the barrier must only extend… five or possibly six miles into the air. 
At least we can fly at all. Rose thought, thinking about the dark underground prison they’d been at previously. She shivered at the thought of the damp walls and sand-coated floor. She shook herself, blossoms of gray-blue blooming at her talons as her scales automatically shifted to match the terrain. Gray crept along her back mixed with browns and dark purples. She spread her wings and swept down, Violet taking off to follow. Rose’s scales shifted to a light sky blue. That usually happened when she was in an unfamiliar place, her scales automatically matched an environment where she didn’t feel safe. Rose huffed a sigh with a shudder. At least they were all still alive. She began to pace the sand. 
“Rose!” Fox called, where a small cluster of dragons were standing. “Come introduce yourself.” Rose walked over, wings pressed timidly against her back. 
A nervous looking dragon kept twitching his antennae. 
“Well I’m Rose.” Rose said, simply. 
“What tribe?” Another hybrid growled. 
”Rain and Night.” She replied. Fox turned to the hybrid that growled at Rose. “What about you?” He asked. 
”Birchwhisper.” The tribrid snarled. “Rain, Ice, and Night.” 
”And you?” Birchwhisper turned to Fox. 
“Sand, Ice, Rain.” Fox replied, pivoting to pace around a misshapen circle. The dragons introduced themselves one by one. Rose’s gaze flicked from dragon to dragon, quickly scanning their minds. Normally she would avoid such a form of intrusion, but she didn’t trust them, and by the looks of some of these dragons, they weren’t trustworthy. Her gaze settled upon one particular tribrid. He has pacing, finned tail lashing over the sand as a four winged tribrid beside tried to calm him. Rose narrowed in on the pacing dragon’s mind. 
What did I do? He was thinking. Sure I steal plenty, but I never thought I’d done anything that deserves this. What’s going to happen to Mushroom? I wonder if Tern’s here. Maybe Mushroom will go with Hallow. Did they take dad as well? Silverfish is here, where’s Mouse? They’re never apart. Why are we here and no one else? Dad said he was going on a business trip, I hope he’s safe. I wish Mushroom were here. I wonder if he could go live with Levi. I need to get a message sent, I need to find a way out. 
Rose tugged herself out of his speeding thoughts, but brushed gently against his mind as he focused on the four winged dragon, Silverfish, by what Rose had heard in his thoughts. The dragon who’d been pacing was…Rose searched for the answer in Silverfish’s mind. Sandpiper. The pacing dragon was Sandpiper. Light glinted off a piercing in the webbing of Sandpiper’s tail…fins? SeaWings have tail fins, then she noticed the spikes emerging from the back of his neck and the ridge scales in his wings. 
He’s a tribrid. Rose mused, watching the worried Sandpiper sit down. Sand/Sea/Ice if I’m guessing correctly. She checked his thoughts to prove herself to be accurate. Rose watched the fretting Sandpiper a moment longer before she was distracted by another dragon, one with family light Violet scales. 
“Firefly?” Rose heard herself exclaim as her eyes widened. 
== Chapter Four ==
Rose lunged towards her sister, wrapping the other hybrid in a hug as Firefly’s bracelets clicked against Rose’s scales. 
“Rose! Thank the moons you’re okay!” Firefly gripped her sister tightly, bejeweled talons bright against Rose’s darker palette.
