Peace Or War.

The RainWings.

I woke up, the sun streaming onto my scales. It was midday, just after sun time. I lay in a hammock, a few rays of sun on it. The birds flew around the trees, pecking at the fruit. The whole tribe started to wake, everyone's scales looking brighter.

The names Tyoko. Don't get in my way, and we all get what we want. I hate this war, but honestly, our tribes gotta fight. If I had a choice, I wouldn't 'do' sun time. I think its a waste of time. Just sleeping in the middle of the day?! We need to fight! We need to be making plans, not sleeping. I'm only a dragonet... My main scale colours are dark blue, light blue and white. Look, I don't really mean any harm. This war gets the best of us.

I don't really get why we are fighting over queens anyways. I mean, cant we just split the tribes into 3? And they each get ruled by one queen? Not that I want the war to end... Necessarily. The fighting's good if no one gets hurt. Its good practice for the real Pyrrhia.

I'm a RainWing. Lazy, stupid and dumb is how the other tribes describe us. But I wanna change that. We have secret venom in our mouths. Yet no one actually uses it, otherwise I reckon we would win the war. We also have comouflage scales. They change colour due to our emotions and we can literally go invisible. RainWings do this thing called 'Sun time' Its basically when the tribe finds a nice, sunny place to sleep when the sun is at the highest point, and we sleep for about an hour. Apparently its supposed to make our scales brighter and us happier. Guess this is just how I am then.

I've never met any other tribes. Not that I really want to... Or have a choice.

I live alone. My parents were like me. They went away to war, because they thought our tribe could be more than just lazy. They didnt come back....

My hut is under the leaves of a large sun tree. It has blue flowers on the roof, and inside its kind of empty... Apart from where I sleep on my hammock. I'm not usually in there anyways. 

To tell the truth, I think the rest of my tribe is scared of me. Like, no one ever talks to me anymore. Probably when my parents went to the war, they thought I'd be the same... My parents weren't like me! Sort of....

I fly down to the ground where fruit and leaves lie. I pull a branch forcefully, a rain berry falling down as I catch it in my mouth. I then fly off again. I notice everyone is trying to stay out of my way. My scales have faded to a pastel pink and purple. 'Why are my scales this colour? I'm not excited for anything' I quietly whisper to myself as I glide around some trees. I'm pretty good at tree gliding if I do say so myself.

I land swiftly in a hut. My best friend's hut, Tia. I walk in. 'TYOKOOOOO!! HEY BUD' she shouts excitedly, running towards me and hugging me. I push her away. 'Tia... I told you not to hug me... And don't call me 'bud'' I roll my eyes.

I sit down on her hammock. Her hut is lively. Flowers. A lot of them. She sits next to me as I move a little away from her. I don't like anyone in my space. I look at her. 'Hey... Tia... I need you to cover for me... I'm going to fight in the war...' I sighed as I looked at my scales. Tia then looked at me worried as her scales faded white... fear... 'T-T-Tyoko... B-but... I... H-how...?' I got up and started to walk to the door, turning back to look at her as I talk. 'Look... I'm sorry but I can't just let the rest of Pyrrhia struggle in this terrible war... Dragons are getting hurt Tia... I need to help... All you have to do is colour your scales like mine... And act like me... They come and check if I've done anything stupid every morning at 9... They wont notice your not around... They don't need to worry about you...' I take a breath as I stand at the doorway spreading my wings to take flight. 'O-ok... B-but Tyoko...' I look back at her. 'Please... Stay safe...' I nodded 'You don't have to worry... I'm Tyoko!' and with that I flew off, camouflaging into the surroundings as I soar past the trees. My wings started to get tired as I land in a part of the rainforest away from the others. I never knew the rain forest was so big. I take my bag off my neck and open it for food. The first thing I see is a starflower and a note which read: Dear Tyoko... If your reading this... It means your either alive or a ghost... Anyways... Please stay safe... I love you... Tia xoxo. I sighed as I picked up the starflower. Tia always wore one behind her left horn... It was kinda like her symbol. I carefully put the blue-ish purple flower behind my right horn. My frill covers it a little... But now I know she's always with me....
