Part 1: Unawared Dragons
"I week later"
Jade Mountain Academy is full of dragons from all the ten tribes. Some rainwings were decorating the caves and classrooms. Some silkwings were painting and weaving tapestries on the walls. Icewings were making delicious frosted Walrus meals and skywings arranging music bands. It was the annual school festival which happens at the end of the year. Dragons sing, dance, eat and really enjoy the beauty of this festival. The festival is in two days but everyone is already swarming in.
The winglets were on special duties, each winglet assigned for a specific task by Principal Tsunami, queen of the Seawings. There are six winglets here, Animus, Jade, Gold, Quartz, Silver and Copper. The Animus winglet was a special winglet for the best dragonets from all tribes. But CrystalClaws didn't feel any better.
CrystalClaws was the nightwing of the winglet, and also the weakest in combat. He did get along with the other dragons in his winglet tho. His prophecies and visions were not as useful as he hoped for, only if most dragons would believe the Prophecies. Most were of parallel universes, so all of it didn't come true. But he knew the current vision is real, and it is very urgent.
Two goddesses fighting to kill each other and rule all over the world. He knew a disaster would come. The sun and the three moons will rise together, creating an Eclipse, which will last, who knows when. Eclipses never happen, as the last one was seen during the time of Darkstalker, more than 2000 years ago.
Crystalclaws was assigned to gather different fruits from the rainforest, with his winglet T sparrow, a really skilled rainwing. Sparrow was an extraordinarily skilled rainwing, with his bright yellow and orange scales, like a ruby glowing in the sunlight. He had his skills in almost everything, camouflage, venom, tree gliding, aiming, there's nothing he couldn't do. CrystalClaws was lucky to find a clawmate like him.
The two dragons were flying through the dense rainforest, in broad daylight. The sound of birds. and other creatures were soaring across the forest. "Have you ever been on a fruit-hunt?" Sparrow asked crystal. "No.. I haven't", Crystal replied. "Mother did teach me everything about the rainforest but never been here all by myself or for a fruit hunt"
"Awh, very well, you're gonna see all my splendid skills. I gather the fruits and you put them In a bag, the big one which sir Peacemaker gave you", Sparrow exclaimed. "You have it, don't you?", he asked. "Uh, yea I have it wrapped with my tail, don't worry", Crystal looked at his tail to see the leaf-made sack tied to it. "Ah, great! Now all you need to do is stand here", Sparrow pointed at a tree branch thick enough to perch on.
Crystal flew and carefully peached on it, making sure he didn't trip on it and fall. "Is it ok"? he asked. "Yea! Now watch!" Sparrow said then sweeped through the trees in a fast glide, branch-breaking sounds filled the ain. It was hard to figure out where he was, since he camouflage to be Invisible. The trees rustled at Sparrow's sweeping motion, as he kept gathering fruits.
He flew to Crystal with about 10 fruits wrapped in his arm, and one in his mouth too, he ate that one and put the rest in the. sack. Then he flew back again, using his skillful talent to gather 40 fruits in a fast pace.
"Woah..." Crystal thought. "He is so smooth and fast at this... I wish I could be like him". Sparrow's talent amazed Crystal, and soon there 40 in the bag. "How was that? "Sparrow asked CrystalClaws. "Woah, your amazing Sparrow, Such a talent."
"Awh, thanks, I know I'm talented, Sparrow said with pride. As they were about to leave, two rainwings flew towards them. Sparrow and Crystal glared at them in confusion.
"Hello, Sparrow and Crystal", said the first rainwing with pink and magenta scales. "Oh hello Orchid" Sparrow said. "What's' the matter?" The dragon named Orchid replied, "The Animus winglet has been summoned at Queen Glory's treetop. There's something important she needs to discuss about".
Crystal got confused. What could be so very important is that the Queen of the rainwings need us. "Alright we're coming. But, who's taking the bag to Jade Mountain?", asked Crystal. Orchid looked at Crystal. "Ah, don't worry, Sloth will take it", Orchid pointed at the grey-white-black ish rainwing with her. "Thank you", Sparrow said, then handed the sack over to Sloth, as he flew towards the sky with the sack of fruits.
"Follow us", Sparrow said to Crystal as they took flight to the treetop where the Queen awaited them.
This wasn't Crystal's first time in the rainwing village but every time he came here, he loved it. This place was nothing like the night kingdom, which is currently in progress of being built. The nightwings left the rainwing village about 20 years ago. They flew back to the old nightwing kingdom from way back to Darkstalker's time. Lunar, the dragon known as the night princess, helped them with the traveling. Her animus magic was useful and is still rebuilding the very little work left to complete the night kingdom, tho the Nightwing Queen, an animus herself was also helping. Lunar was a night-ice animus with the power to read minds and everyone knew that. She is also a hero just like her elder sister, Celestial. It was as if both Pyrrhia and Pantala were being ruled by two empresses, two sisters who Kept peace and balance, friendship and harmony.
They reached the platform on the tree-top and found the rest of the winglet, Aqua the seawing prince and the seawing animus, Hawk the sandwing, son of sandwing general Six Claws, Snowflake the Icewing princess, Lotus, the leafwing with the strongest leafspeak, Rubber, the mudwing with fireproof scales, Blake, a firescales, Mothra, the most beautiful silkwing with flamesilk and Crowbat, the hivewing princess, grand-daughter to Queen Jewel of the hivewings.
"Oh, didn't expect all of you to be here before us", said Sparrow. "You know we came immediately when we got the message," said Blake. "Though it was Hawk and Snowflake who came first, he said again. Hawk and Snowflake started smiled with pride.
"Ah, sure...". Crystal said silently. "Where is the Queen?" "Oh, she told us to get into the throne room when you two arrive. Lets go now then", Mothra exclaimed, her blue wings glittering in the sunlight. The others nodded and the ten dragons entered the throne room where the Queen awaits.
