The rainforest, a dazzling place surrounded by greeneries. The sound of the wind brushing agsinst the leaves, the chirping of thousands of birds, the proper sunlight, everything was just perfect for Swallow. But the problem was there is no sun now. The three moons and the sun, equally ahead of each other, creating an eclipse had darkened the sky. An upcoming war was on it's edge, and Swallow needed to inform his Queen. Birds were no longer chirping, the wind was really intense as well, as it made it hard for Swallow to maintain the pace within his wings for flight.
The Eclipse had given the sky a new look. The darkened nature with the stars visible but glimse of yellow-redish light reflecting on the clouds. Swallow didnt stop his flight, he knew he had to hurry up, as he'd been flying for four hours now. He was exhausted as he didnt take any stop, because it was an urgent matter. He needed to assist to help pyrrhia and pantala escape certain doom. His supposed to be acquaintance in this mission, his clawmate Mothra , the silkwing with the most beautiful wing patterns, she went to inform the mudwings after negotiating the plans with Swallow 3 hours ago mid-flight.
*I just hope everyone back there is okay*. Swallow's mind wont stop being flooded with the thousand questions he had. Who exactly is Daybreaker. Where is Celestial? What happened to her? Will his friends be able to save the skywings? Or will he be able to save himself and the other rainwings. What exactly is Daybreaker's aim? What does she want? Swallow was disturbed with his questions in his mind.
The rainwing village was at sight now. The moment it came onsight, Swallow noticed all the rainwings outside, glaring at the sky. Some had terror in their faces, some had wonder and curiosity, but mostly fear. He heard the whispers of the rainwings through the air, filled with frustration, curiosity. Swallow looked down at his tribe, and then flew straightforward to the Rainwing treetop palace. He landed on the wooden floor. The guards, also shocked and curious by the super-natural phenomenon, failed to notice Swallow's mere presence, he ignored them and went into the throne room.
Queen Glory was talking with two of his guards about what is going on. But neither of them knew. She got sight of Swallow behind her, and turned to him. Swallow, tired of his long flight, caught his breathe hurrily and bowed down. "Your majesty, I have an important report, and is indeed dangerous", Swallow said, calming his voice. "You may have a clue on what in the three moons is going on out there." Glory said. "Speak up".
Swallow began explaining his experiences in the volcanic land, about the skywings and the rise of Daybreaker. His voice cracked, so Queen Glory told one of the guards to offer Swallow water, which he really needed. "Daybreaker.. I've heard her name in an ancient history scroll i read a few years ago. I didnt believe it to be real, after all", Glory stated. "Thanks for the report, Swallow. Are the mudwings being alerted?" "Yes, your majesty, I believe so, since I've sent Mothra there to inform the queen", Swallow said. "Do I have anything to accomplish on your orders?"
The Queen narrowed her gaze at him, she was thinking something, Swallow could tell judging her expression. No matter what it was, he was loyal to her and would do anything to serve his queen. "Maybe its about time", Queen Glory started. "You shall know about the secrets lying within the eclipse." "Secrets?" Swallow asked, his mind racing with questions, thoughts and doubts. "Indeed, follow me", the Queen ordered, as Swallow followed her.
The queen walked through a cave behind the treetop. This cave was covered with leaves and bushes so it was really hard to spot it. Swallow looked at the walls of the cave, which contained some ancient carvings of dragons with writings he didnt understand, probably ancient dragon language or something like that. He observed the paintings carefully. One of the paintings were a white dragon with flames from her scales, an armor made of shiny gold and a strength beyond animus capability, other dragons from all tribes bowing to her and the sun rising. Swallow gulped. "Your majesty.. If you dont mind me then where are you taking me?" he asked.
The Queen looked at Swallow. "You'll see", she said, then moved forward. Swallow followed her, as he kept looking at the wall paintings one by one, curiosity conquering his thoughts. He felt like this cave was never ending, but at one point they ended up in a big cave room. Lanterns of flames were lit up to enlighten the cave, as it consumed the darkness around. Pillars carved of white stones were holding the room at its pace. It was an ancient room, judging by its looks, with mosses and slight ruins covering the area. But it the centre was a pillar. And on the pillar was, a dragon armor.
This dragon armor was something Swallow had never seen. It was made of the finest of gold and ruby, carved with obsidian and flowing lava which surprisingly didnt burn the armor. The design was somewhat that of royalty, a very unique and magnificent design, as if the wearer was the goddess of the sun. "What.. Is this?" Swallow asked, looking at the Queen. "This is an ancient armor. Thousands of years ago, there'd been a ruler of the tribes", Glory started. " The goddess of the sun, also known as Daybreaker. She was a skywing and a sandwing hybrid, but her scales were as white as the daylight. She had abilities beyond capability of animus magic. Wherever she went, the sunlight touched. She brought magnificent glory to everyone who worshipped and obeyed her, and destroyed anyone who disobeyed her. The ancient rainwings, were the followers of this queen, as she provided us with the glory of the sun, blessed us with her blessings and shielded us with her power. But she was defeated, when her reign came to an end, the rainwings continued to follow her legacy until the mightiest rainwings died and the others, giving up their hopes became lazier and hated."
"What does this suppose to mean, your highness..?" Swallow asked, confused. "What I mean, is that this is our chance to prove ourselves the worth of the rainwings. Shes our ancient goddess, despite nearly everyone forgetting her, royals who are careful keep a track of rainwing history, just like how my grandmother Grandeur did", said Queen Glory. Swallow glanced at the Queen. "What does that mean..?"
"That means", the queen said with a serious voice. "That means the current rainwings will be loyal to Daybreaker's rise."
