**Part 1 (Piece #1, Faded)**

“Faded, you should stop using your magic so much.” Glory said. Her scales that were normally a mint color, but they shifted the blue with worry. “If you use too much animus magic, you’ll lose your soul.” Faded looked at Glory, rolling her eyes. “Im fine. I haven’t used my magic in at least 5 minutes.” Glory began to turn a little orange. “This is what I mean. You can’t just use your magic left and right, it endangers your soul and your tribe!” Faded looked at Glory like she was mad. “You might be the queen, but you can’t control my actions. It’s my magic, I do what I want!” Faded turned from her regular color to bright red. “This is what I mean. What happened to you, Faded? You used to be so sweet, but now, you’re so different…” No, I’m completely normal.. You’re the one that’s crazy.. Faded tackled Glory, her claws pointed to her throat. “Don’t you DARE call me insane,” Faded said, her scales turning redder than before. “I-I wasn’t saying you’re insane, I was just saying y-you might..” Glory’s scales were now white and green, twisted with fear. “Might what? Start a massacre? Kill off my tribe?” Faded laughed like a maniac. “Oh, because I will do both of those things if I have to. I have much more power than you could imagine.” Glory decided to fight back. She spit venom right at Faded’s eye. The venom melted her eye, but another one grew back in it’s place. “Oh, you’re sooo smart, Glory. Remember our talk about animus magic? I’m smarter than you think, pea-brain.” Faded was about to snap Glory’s neck when suddenly she shouted: “Deathbringer!” A pitch black NightWing and a few other RainWings charged in the room. The NightWing peeled Faded away from Glory as she said: “Faded, you are NEVER welcome back in the rainforest for as long as I live.”

Faded sat in the dungeon of the Sky Kingdom. I can’t believe I got myself kicked out of the rainforest… Nevermind. I don’t need any of those lazy potato-sacks anyways. Faded’s scales never really shifted to a color besides gray much anymore. All the prisoners in the dungeon staring at her, wondering what she was doing. “What are you in for?” A scrawny looking SandWing asked her. “I’m not a prisoner,” She growled at the SandWing, the tips of her wings turning red. “Dude, chill. You shouldn’t like, WANT to be in here. Why is a lazy RainWing even in here anyway?” The SandWing laughed at his own joke. Faded charged at his cell, all of her scales turning bright red. “I am not lazy..” She growled at the SandWing. “Well, unlike the rest of my dumb tribe.” “I’m VERY sure you’re just one of those tree-licking idiots that says they’re not lazy, but they’re longest flight has been 3 seconds, then stopping for a rest.” The prisoners laughed at the SandWing’s ‘humor’. “You don’t know who you’re messing with,” Faded snarled. “Oooh, a spoooky RainWing,” A thin SeaWing taunted her. Faded picked up a rock on the cold floor of the dungeon. “I enchant you to give me whatever information I need when I drop you,” She whispered to it. “What’s that freak doing?” “Why in all of Pyrrhia is she talking to a rock?” Those were the kinds of comments going around. Faded looked up from her newly enchanted rock. They’ll be scared soon, when I know everything about them. Tell me that SandWings name, age, and town. Faded dropped the rock. Hyrax… 14…. Possibility…. “Hyrax,” Faded called to the SandWing “W-wait, how did you know my name?” Hyrax asked her. “You are 14 years of age and you live in the town of Possibility.” Faded picked up the rock and dropped it again. Why is Hyrax in jail? “Also you are in jail because you attempted to assassinate Queen Ruby.” “You’re an animus.. Right?” The SeaWing from earlier asked her. Faded dropped the rock again. “Yes, and also, your name is Shell.” “And why do you even need this information about us?” An IceWing asked Faded. “Hmm no reason. Just wanted to stop everyone from calling me lazy because I can kill all of you right now.” Faded said with a devious smile, knowing she was in control. “Hey, uh- RainWing.. thing-” Hyrax asked Faded. “I’m half IceWing.” “Ok, anyways, if we never call you lazy again, then can you free us?” Faded looked thoughtful for a moment, as her scales shifted back to gray. “Well, I would need more than just that..” Shell interrupted. “We can make you queen of the RainWings!” She shouted, eager to get out of prison. All the prisoners agreed with the SeaWing. “Ok. It’s a deal. But if you turn on me, you’re all dead.” All the prisoners cheered, as Faded unlocked their cages.
