Wings of Fire: The Call of Skyfall [1]

Chapter 12

Siren, Leafy, and Sandy were sleeping in a cave in one of the Jade Mountains. There were stalactites hanging from the ceiling, and some smaller ones surrounding a dark pool. They were in a cave that had one exit. The cave was not small, but not large.

Siren woke up and stretched. She had been staying in the cave for a few days. She flew out to go hunt something. She flew over a few small mountains, but she spotted something going through some trees, something dark. Siren squinted her eyes and flew closer.

The dragon looked like a Nightwing with a scar on their eye. Siren recognized the Nightwing, it was the Nightwing that killed Blueberry, and kidnapped Snake. She kept her cool, camouflaged, and followed the Nightwing.

The Nightwing was moving swiftly, but made a lot of noise. Siren followed through the trees. She followed the Nightwing for a while until it ran into a tunnel leading into a cave hidden in the ground. The Nightwing opened the door by putting his talons on the stone door, he turned it, and the stone door sunk into the ground. The Nightwing walked in.

Siren snuck in and saw a bunch of dragonets. There was a map on the back wall. There were two torches on each side of the map. The cave was a medium size, big enough to fit 13 dragons with enough room to sleep comfortably. There was a small pool of water, curling to fit the side of the cave. She looked at a scroll that was on the cold, stone floor. It looked like a prophecy. She read it:

The Stone Prophecy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A war will break out between all of the tribes;

One dragon started it, between all of their lies.

7 dragonets from each tribe;

7 dragonets here to save some lives.

7 special stones to be found,

7 dragon tribes to stay around.

Find the 7 stones hidden deep within the tribes,

Then the 7 dragonets will save all of their lives.

When the dragonets gather all of the stones,

Kill the one who started it, turn them to bones.

7 dragonets, 7 stones, 7 tribes.

The more 7 you see, you're going the right way to fulfilling the prophecy.

So this was the prophecy huh?  Siren thought. Siren looked up and saw Snake. Her scales rippled with yellow (happiness), but she quickly pushed her emotions back. Siren noticed that there wasn't a Nightwing dragonet, nor a Sandwing dragonet. 

There was an adult Nightwing, an adult Skywing, an adult Seawing, and an adult Sandwing. The Sandwing hissed at the Nightwing. "What took you so long?" The Sandwing scowled. "If you can't find the Nightwing dragonet, just go steal one from the Rainforest!"

"The forest is heavily guarded nowadays, plus, I tried to kill the queen a while ago, so they wont let me back there." The Nightwing replied with a scowl. "Plus, you shouldn't be yelling at a Nightwing that can rip your skull out!" The Nightwing was yelling at the Sandwing at this point.

"Doom, chill out!" The adult Seawing stood in front of the Sandwing, blocking the Nightwing from the Sandwing. The Seawing was a pretty, pale blue male, with a darkish-indigo underbelly. "Sahara was just mad at you for being late here, with no food, or anything."

Doom scoffed and walked into another room. "Well, time to train them more?— I guess?" The Skywing uttered as they slid into sight. The Skywing had jewel embedments, bracelets, and horn rings. The Skywing had jewels on the bracelets and horn rings. There were also some bracelets on her tail with jewels on them too.

The Skywing was a light red with a pinkish underbelly. Sahara and the Seawing looked at the Skywing. 

"Starling, we trained them enough, we just need to wait until they are all adults," The Seawing continued. "But it was Doom's idea to kidnap the dragonets when they were already hatched. That's why all of their ages are all mixed up."

"But Current, Doom said it was easier to take them as dragonets, because they wouldn't be as heavily guarded as eggs." Sahara replied. She dismissed the dragonets, and they all went into another room in the cave. Current sighed and went to lie in the water in the side of the cave.

Siren walked into the cave where the dragonets went. She looked back at the Guardians, then walked into the cave. 

The cave was like a slim cave, but wide enough for three adult dragons to spread their wings. There were 10 small holes in the wall on each side, that had some blankets and a pillow, it seemed like a bed. The holes looked like enough space to stretch too. 

There was also an open door on the right side of the wall in the middle of the hall that seemed to lead to a place where they eat. At the end of the cave was a door that seemed to go into a circular cave with blankets on the floor, pillows, scrolls, and a window that was on the top of the room. Siren walked through the halls, and into the room.

The room was dome-like. It had a small scroll case (book case) at the back with lots of scrolls. There were blankets on the gray, stone ground. There were pillows and posters all around the room. The room was big enough for all of the dragonets, and the Guardians to be in there, comfortably. 

There was a green Seawing reading a scroll about cooking, a light red Skywing laying on a pillow, watching the sky, a white and light purple Icewing talking to a light brown Mudwing, and Snake was reading a scroll about The War of Sandwing Succession.

"Snake!" Siren squealed as she turned yellow and hugged him. Siren just realized that she was visible.
