The Mudwings of Jade Mountain Academy (Wings of Fire Fanfiction)

Chapter 17: The Queen has Arrived

"Any idea who it is?" Cattail pleaded with Terracotta. "Afraid not. But we've contacted a dragon with... unique abilities. She'll be here soon, a day or two, and she'll be able to find them." "Unique abilities?" Cattail pressed. Terracotta smiled. "Afraid I can't elaborate. But she does a have great ability for... finding truths among the lies." "What about the Seawing queen? Is she really coming?" "As far as I know, yeah she's coming. Should be here later today. I've no Idea why though." Terracotta confirmed. "And, don't worry. We'll find the dragon causing trouble." With that she walked away. Prim. "That's what I'm afraid of." Cattail whispered.

Paradise stood in the shadow of the entrance to the prey center. A nice dragon named Terracotta was now aware of the situation of why she was here and was helping her find the dragon she was looking for. She knew the Mudwings name. Quicksand had made sure of that. "She's over there sitting by the two Sandwings with a small Mudwing beside her. That's Ali by the way, her sister. The little one I mean." Terracotta told her, pointing at a group of dragons on the far side of the cave. "Good luck." "Thanks." She told her as Terracotta walked into the cave. Paradise took a deep breath. Her stomach fluttered with thousands of nervous butterflies. It was finally time, and she was afraid she might pass out. "I'll need it."

Cattail sat with her friends. All thoughts were on the Seawing queen who was supposed to be here at any moment. Cattail noticed Terracotta entering the Prey center. She's late for lunch, Cattail thought, that's unusual. "-why she's coming here?" Cattails thoughts rentered the conversation half way through someone's question. "Is it even safe? I mean, after all..." Rattlesnake didn't need to finish. They all knew what he ment. Dreamspeaker gave her a pointed look. Chasm paled. "She's a queen, I'm sure she brought guards or something." Mirage assured him. "Or not." Avalanche said, pointing at the entrance. They all turned and stared. There was a lone dragon but ,undoubtedly , it was the queen. She held her head tall and proud. She wore few jewels. She was a beautiful dragon with deep gray-blue eyes and bright sea blue-green scales. Like the ocean rose and formed a dragon from the waves. She couldn't have been older than thirty. She had a kind face and weaved elegantly through the dragons in the cave. And she was headed straight for them.
