## Plot

Prisoners was told with alternating letters and messages between
Fierceteeth and Saguaro. Saguaro asked Fierceteeth about her past, and
she writes a Scrolls|scroll titled:

### The Dragonet With No Destiny

This scroll was about Fierceteeth's life as a NightWing on the old
NightWing island. She talked about how awful the volcano was and how her
mother, Farsight, acted around Starflight's egg. She completely ignored
Fierceteeth and spent more time looking after her egg. Instead of
fighting for her mother's attention, she tried to convince Morrowseer to
let her visit the mainland. Despite her efforts, he was unwilling to
allow this. At the end of the scroll, she asked Saguaro to join her and
help her escape.

After receiving the scroll, Saguaro asked Fierceteeth about the other
prisoner, Strongwings. She proceeded to write another scroll called:

### Brains and The Beast

In this story, Fierceteeth explained how she met Strongwings. At first,
they were not very well acquainted, but they ran into each after
Strongwings angered Mastermind. Strongwings then snuck Fierceteeth
through the NightWing tunnels|animus tunnel to the rainforest, knocking
out the tunnel guard, Deadlyclaws. When they returned several hours
later, Deadlyclaws and Morrowseer met them, furious. Strongwings tried
to take all the blame for their breaking of the rules, showing her his
selflessness.

Saguaro asked Fierceteeth what she would do for her if she helped her
escape. Fierceteeth replied with another scroll:

### How It Should Have Been

Fierceteeth talked about what it would be like if her plans had
succeeded: Fierceteeth as queen of the NightWings and Burn as queen of
the SandWings. She raised the possibility that they could still change
things if Saguaro helped her. In the end, Saguaro agreed to help
Fierceteeth and Strongwings escape.

The e-book contains a sneak peek for the seventh book in the Wings of Fire series, Winter Turning.
