    StoneWings
    Description: No one has seen this tribe in years, but they had black, brown, gray or white scales. They had thick scales, and their wings are sharp, jagged at the bottom.
    Abilities: This tribe was very heavy, making them fierce and strong warriors who were hard to defeat. They cannot breathe fire, but produce a lava-like substance from their mouths. It is also said that the StoneWings that live deeper were immune to fire.
    Known Animus Dragons: None, but we do suspect at least one animus.
    Queen: The last known queen was Queen Goldmine

    "StoneWings are the gravest danger right now. They haven't been seen in years . . . ever since around twenty years ago. That is enough for them to gather an army. They have to stop."
     Fatespeaker couldn't believe what she was hearing. What in the moons were StoneWings? And why would they be gathering an army? Where were they this whole time? What was happening?
    She walked into the NightWing's planning room in the rainforest. "Hey . . . do you know where I can find Queen Glory?" She asked. A few of the NightWings growled at her name. The non-supporters. I'll have to talk with Queen Glory about them. One of the other NightWings (the supporters) pointed in the direction of Glory's pavilion.
    "Thank you, Spacestriker." Fatespeaker said. He gave her a warm smile back, and Fatespeaker hurried along, crashing into the vines and trees. She could have sworn that she felt a dragon crash into her, but maybe it was just something she imagined.
    When she made it to the pavilion, and ran into Queen Glory right away. A NightWing stepped forward, but he seemed to recognize her because he nodded and sat back.
    "Deathbringer, you should have recognized Fatespeaker right away." Glory said before Fatespeaker opened her mouth. "She's a fellow NightWing."
    Deathbringer blushed and nodded. "I was too busy guarding you to pay attention to her coloration." He said. Fatespeaker caught Queen Glory rolling her eyes, and she was amused for a second before she remembered what she came here for.
    "Your Majesty, I heard something about StoneWings . . . do you know what those are?" She said.
    Queen Glory shook her head. "No, but you should ask Starflight. I'm sure he has a scroll about them."
    Starflight. Fatespeaker's tail twitched as if she wanted to curl it around him and stay there forever. "I'll go ask him for a scroll." She said quickly, hurriedly flying away. As she turned back, she saw Glory mouth her the forbidden words . . . 'Ship'. And so Fatespeaker did it right back at her. She saw Glory turn pink.

    After she had gotten a scroll from Starflight, she sat down in the library of Jade Mountain and started to read.
    Long ago, before BeetleWings and LeafWings journeyed to Pantala, there were ten tribes on Pyrrhia.
    MudWings, SeaWings, RainWings, NightWings, SandWings, IceWings, SkyWings, BeetleWings, LeafWings, and StoneWings.
    These tribes lived peacefully, until NightWings invaded StoneWing territory. This started a great war . . . but the reason the NightWings invaded is unknown. All we know is that they stole Princess Calcite - the only heir to the throne. If she returned is also unknown.
    Wow. That's . . . we did that? I mean, the whole IceWing-NightWing war . . . we sort of started that too. And then the NightWing-RainWing war . . . maybe we are the bad guys.
    Fate shook off this thought. No. She was not a problem. Maybe the other dragons, but not her. Not her whole tribe. Just most of them.
    As she sat there at the window, she wondered where the StoneWings were, and what it would be like to be them.
    I might never find out . . . unless there's going to be a war. But . . . which side will I fight for? The StoneWings or . . .
    Or my tribe?
