The throne room, was probably one of the most beautiful throne rooms Crystal had ever seen, compared to the other castles he've been to. He remembers the nightwing castle throne room, where only Queen FrostWalker would allow the most trusted of all royal guands, and nightwings who could read minds or see the future. The nightwing Queen currently was an ancient dragon over 500 years olld. She wasn't an ordinary dragon, but an animus and a night-ice hybrid with the power to see the future. Many dragons said she was like Darkstalker, but she proved them wrong. She was violent and moody, but she's a good queen due to her proper sense of Judgement and absolute correct solutions. Her decendant currently would be two dragons, Sunny the half night-half sand dragon and her daughter, Queen Dusk of the sandwings. Crystal has no idea why he is overthinking all of it.
The 10 dragonets stood in one line and ahead was Queen Glory of the raimwings. She've been a queen for over 50 years and even her dragonets didn't challenge her for the throne because she was the perfect queen. Beside her were two dragons, a nightwing named Deathbringer, the rainwing general despite being another tribe. The other dragon was a pink rainwing named Jambu, brother to the Queen and the chancellor of medicine.
"Hello, it is I, Queen glory of the rainwings. Queen Glory started. "Do you guys have ony clue why I summoned you two here?" The dragonets looked at each other in pure confusion. Blake, the firescales would ask Crystal whispering in his ear," Any clue on what is happening? I mean, I just want this to be finished early because my flames might burn down this palace.."
Blake's voice sounded like he was nervous. CrystalClaws sighed. "You won't, trust me"
"I have gathered you all here by the command of the night empress Lunar", started Queen Glory. "This is a secret mission and it shall not be told to other dragons at all cost. The report is the day empress Celestial have been acting really odd and she has been distant and cold for the last two weeks. You 10 have been assigned to Investigate it", Glory said. Lotus looked at slight confusion. "Your majesty, why us?", she asked. "You 10 have been chosen because you're the Animus winglet, the strongest dragonet from each tribe, ready to shape the future of Pyrrhia and Pantala. So, is it your duty to look after the empresses 2 like they cared for us", Queen glory explained.
Crystalclaws was very nervous, about this. He had no faith in himself so how in the moons would he do such a life-risking job. He knew doom was ahead and this had to be the first sign. He warned Celestial a week ago but she didn't believe her. He found no necessity in telling this to the others."What do we have to do? I believe we have different roles to accomplish", asked Crowbat, her wings creating a buzzing noise of a bee."Your Indeed correct. According to the order, Crystal, Blake, Snowflake, Aqua and Hawk are going to the Night Kingdom. You have to talk with Queen Frostwalker and Night Empress Lunar, they'll decide what you guys shall do. And as for you 5, Mothra, Sparrow,.Crowbat, Rubber and Lotus, it's your duty to go to the volcano castle and investigate with Scarlet, high priestess of Celestial. Scarlet will be waiting for you five" Crystalclaws remembered Scarlet, the sky-sand hybrid, she helped to solve a fight in the skywing village at North of Jade mountain. Crystal was with his mother Midnight in that village for trading with a skywing trader. "You have need to leave for the night kingdom now. Queen Frostwalker expects you to be present by tomorrow night", said Queen Glory. "And the other five are leaving tonight. Investigate with Scarlet for 5 days and then head to the Night kingdom during the two moons next week. No delays", Queen glory ordered. The dragonets bowed down,then left outside the throne room.
"This is going to be a challenging mission," Mothra said. "I heard the volcano is terribly dangerous, aren't we all going to die?" Crowbat asked. "Relax, the fire isn't that bad! Just stay away from the fire and it will be fine!" Blake said. "Well maybe for you because you're firescales. I'm fireproof but yet I can withstand lava for only 2 minutes. But the others are no like us", Rubber pointed out as the others agreed."Just calm down and don't argue. it is what it is and it is important, despite the odds, nothing is impossible if we co-operate", said Snowflake to stop their fight. She was right. Arguing is useless The others nodded to her in agreement.
Crystal sighed. He knew this will be tough but this is surely linked to his prophecy so he can't let it slide. He is ready to do what it takes to stop the war from coming..
The dragonets bid farewell to each other and the 5 of them took their flight, soaring to the West. They're high above the rainforest trees.
"How does everyone feel about this? I mean I've never been to the night kingdom," Blake asked with excitement. His wings, spread high were faster than the other four, then flew slowly so he could match with the other's speed.
I feel no difference", Aqua the seawing said. "Neither do I, we've been to the night kingdom plenty of times, same as Hawk", Snowflake said as she looked at Hawk and he nodded in agreement.
Blake didn't care enough. He looked so happy. His red scales looked like rubys due to the sun rays. Fire was engulfing from his wings and tail, as if he was a dragon on fire- He was a firescales afterall. Crystal liked it about him, how he was always positive minded and cheerful, unlike other skywings, with a short temper.
As they crossed through the rainwing village and the rainforest. they watched down at the Jade mountain full of dragons. But it was not their time to land. They were heading for a mission, at the night kingdom, where awaits for them two powerful forces, the ancient animus Queen and the Night Empress.
