## Chapter 1 - The Lost Tribe By Wild101Life

A Mimicwing Tale

Date: 2,000 A.S.

A long time ago, like right after the scorching. There was a tribe that had the unique and strange ability to mimic other tribes. They might not be able to change their scales, but they could mimic the tribe's abilities. And what was stranger yet, when Mimicing, the wingless tribe grained the dragon they were copying wings. Even if it was just for show. However, this led the tribe valuable for attack because they needed to touch the dragon to activate their power. It was 1,000 A.S when chaos flooded the land. Tribes were just getting used to relying on Queens to protect them. This hurt the Mimicwings greatly because they had no ruler. They followed whatever Queen that the territory was shared.

It was fine, most of the tribes actually enjoyed the tribe, calling them Wingless warriors. There were even hybrids, but it was discovered that the dragonet lost the ability to mimic. They could copy the wings, but that was it. However, those hybrids were strange because they had their mother's scales and father's ability. Now, this normal for full-blood Mimicwings, but it even passed to hybrids. This might because it takes two Mimicwings to produce a dragonet to mimic tribes. Regardless, of the facts. Here is the story, of a tribe that was lost in time.(edited)

Much like the Wildwings and Wolfwings, Mimicwings lived everywhere, but tend to stay in one area. Most tribes got along with Mimicwings, these tribes were: Soulwings, MoonClaws, Skywings, Rainwings, and Silkwings. The other tribes either hated or just stayed away from them. The Shadowwings were the few tribes that really didn't care, but that all changed when two tribes that are more similar than different had disagreements. This was before Silverscales became Queen and when Lightmoon was starting to realize that Shadowwings should be treated as a separate species from Nightwings. It beautiful day, and unlike the Wildwings, Mark of Life, this was not a slow occurrence.

The only record found was by an Mimicwing name General. His family apparently lived near MoonClaw territory on the continent Pieridae. It was said that General was on good terms with a MoonClaw Solider. Other than General, the only other way to know what happens is to go into the past because most of the records of the Shadowwings were gone. It was almost as if a tribe removed all evidence of this. But for fun, and to stop tutoring the readers. I will reveal what happen with the Mimicwings. It was no surprise that the Mythwings hated the Mimicwings the most with no clear reason why. The tribe used the war between the Soulwings and Shadowwings to disguise their movements. It also helped that the Wildwings were also engaged in the war, but both tribes (who are cousins) focused on getting the innocents to safety. And no one bothered checking on the Mimicwings or the Mythwings.(edited)

When the smoke faded the tribes went missing. The Wildwings hid the tribes and claimed that this had to stopped, but it didn't. Once the Soulwings found out that the few tribes that were allies were had got missing. They blamed the Shadowwings. This went on, and it wasn't until 2,000 A.S until they realized that the Mythwings had gone missing as well. The Deathwings are the only tribe powerful enough to removed a tribe and their knowledge. However, they were too late to save the Mimicwings. However, there is good news. An egg that was ever-changing, much like the Rainwing's eggs. It laid deep in the rainforest hidden and protected. You see, the Shadowwings and Soulwings did have a war but it affected more of their duties and not the land. However, the Peace Isles were created as the result of their battles.

The Shadowwings had grained many enemies after the war and the fact that they moved to a different realm. So, they were the tribe that promised they would fix it. A Shadowwing that goes by Lady GoldenHeart was the one that found the egg. She used a spell that is known as Seeking Soul, which is used by Soul Seers to find life forms. It was fortunate that Golden got to the egg first because there were a few tribes that were glad that Mimicwings were gone. Although, that she got the egg safely to the Shadow Realm. She did not make it. It is thought that a curse was placed on the egg.(edited)

TThe egg hatched into a healthy male dragonet, that the Lightmoon named Era. Era lived for 20 years before passing because of an illness. However, they kept his scales, 5 to be exacted. Lightmoon wanted to fix everything but there was nothing his tribe could do. Even his long life didn't let him trade his soul for millions. So, he turned to the tribe that he could think of. This turned out to be the Deathwings, of whom was not pleased to see Lightmoon in their realm. It was an unsaid agreement that the Soulwings, Shadowwings, and Deathwings would never cross paths again. However, the king changed his mind after Lightmoon explained his idea. The Mythwings spell to destroy the whole tribe was powerful and complex, to say the least. The spell did not kill Mimicwings, it destroys them. As if they never existed, besides the memories of them.

The curse that was on Era's egg was the reason why he lived. So, the question became how do you bring a tribe was removed. Well, the answer was a place needed to be held for it. At first, the Shadowwings were confused and tried for years before giving up. It wasn't until, 9,900 A.S. until the Book of Power was made by a Nightwing name Soulreaper ( @DawnSlayer). This created a place for the Mimicwing even when no one realized it. Since there are both blessings and curses in the book, Holders started to appear. These dragons were stuck in limbo, they were neither dragon nor shadow.(edited)

They were from different tribes as well. The Shadowwings saw this and place Holders under their domain and was given a purpose to help the Keepers that hold one of the Gifts. It would take a hundred years time before a Holder will have a dragonet and no one knew what the egg was until it hatches into a wingless dragon covered in swirls. This leads the three tribes: Shadows, Souls, and Deaths to finally see their efforts paid off. The Mimicwings were back and acted as if they were hybrids. This was more than enough, but something was off about the new tribe. These Mimicwings are not hybrids, nor full-bloods, like their Holder parent. They are in between and few dragons believed the reason why this breed of Mimicwing is different because there Shadow Borns, that are not given the powers of the Shadows.

Heres lore (animus lore and truths)

After Fatehealer, an Nightwing Heres, who was the first of her kind had past away around 6,200 A.S. Dragons had wonder what would happen next because the one dragon that given the power to keep the Balance in check had died.

But Fatehealer didn't leave her subjects without hope. Before she passed, she transfer her power to the Founders genes meaning that Founders dragonets will become Heres. However, there was a check. Heres have a strict rules that they have to follow.

1: Heres have to have a reason to take any throne that they dont share the same tribe with.

2: There job is protect the Balance.

3: Heres cant go to war with one another as the conquesnces will result of extinction of other tribes.

4: Heres genes are rarely passed down to their dragonets.

Fatehealer wanted to leave an legacy and hope for the future. So, that the Balance is protected by all generations.

During Fatehealer time around 6,000 A.S. She was believed to have not only the gifts from the Powers Tribes but the other tribes as well.

However, not all Heres are all powerful and all have weakness. One being the Shadow Lily (Tiger Lily) that is known to make Heres and Shadowwings alike to get sick and their powers are drained.There are 3 teirs and one added teir.

1; The Shadow Teir - Are Heres that are hatch with shadows but that ends with their ability.

2;  Ability Teir - Is the Heres that are less then 10% of Heres. They have the known abilities to control the elements, teleport, and other abilities.

3; Spirit Teir - Is the highest level that an Heres can get to. There are less than 2% of the Heres that are known to reach this level. Their abilities included glowing wings, glowing eyes,  the elements, shadow travel, and are known to be the only ones that can dethroned a king or queen of the Powers Tribes. There also believed with intense training that they can mimic other tribes ability.

The last Teir is not included with the level of Heres but their dragonets as in their will never be an second generation because it is believed they will be too powerful while third gen and onward have limited abilities.

Third - Are rare and are believed to sense the shift of Balance, and have strong connections to a tribe that their born in. Meaning the third gen can be different tribe from their parents and are known to be strongest of their siblings. There abilities are similar but weaker to their parents.

Fourth - are known to be slightly weaker but is believed has a strong connection to nature as a whole. This is because Here's are also known for this ability due to the connection of balance.

Fifth - Are the most common and has strong unique abilities that are ties with their talents, tribe, or parent history.

Time: 6,199 A.S.

Fatehealer was looking around in a chest. The chest was bejeweled with sapphires and had an dark brown color over all. The nightwing loves sapphires because of their deep blue color.

Suddenly the door to her room burst open of which startled the old nightwing. She spun around and growled.

"Fate! Its me!" The dragon said suddenly surround by fire.

Fatehealer stopped the spell and her friend breath a sigh of relief. "Dont spook me like that. You know that there are assassins are after me.' She said.

"Bounty Hunters actually." The dragon corrected.

The reason for this is because Fatehealer had an did a spell recently that allowed the Heres to transfer through the bloodline. Most tribes were trying to get her to marry the princes to gain a powerful line.

"There the same thing. I should have not done that spell." Fatehealer sighed.

"But you said it yourself. You want to ensure that the tribes have a future." The dragon said.

"Your right, the idiots dont know how the spell truly works. Only Founders can bare Heres while Heres dragonets on the other claw will have an weaker set of abilities." Fatehealer explained.

The dragon smirked. "Well, if that is the case. I guess your not needed anymore." The dragon whispered and a dagger appeared.

If the Holders were around at this time Fatehealer might have lived a little longer but sadly didn't. The dagger was thrown before the nightwing knew what happen.

The first Heres fell dead, bleeding from her wound to her neck. Little is known of the assassin identity and even more so of who had hired her.

However, what is known is the Fatehealer was trying to complete the spell for the future Heres. The completed spell would have made the second and third Generation Heres rare but actually impossible to occur. Sadly only the second generation Heres was locked.
