Vast outer space. (WoF OC, Queen Nebula)

Snake bite.

The RainWing queen bared her pointed fangs, flaring her frills along the side of her face. Her green and yellow scales were beginning to become a scarlet red.

"This was no stray Dragonbite viper attack!" She snarled. "There were dragonprints, and there are only two dragons amongst the tribes with dragonbite viper pets."

"Princess Nebula and her brother, Prince Comet," She hissed. "We also found traces of NightWing scent, plus a black scale. It had to be one of you!"

Queen Galaxy dared to step forward. The other tribe watched with terror and admiration, Queen Marvelous was a formidable foe, with her venom, and skilled fighting techniques, using both tooth and claw.

Marvelous motioned towards Nebula with her long tail. "The freak is probably guilty. Let me take her to my dungeons."

Comet darted forward, snarling. "No. It was me. It wasn't her, you can't say that because she's just a bit different." Among the crowd, two NightWings nodded in agreement.

This was Nebula's first meeting of another tribe, Marvelous had demanded all of Galaxy's children attended the event.

Marvelous had nearly dropped at the mere sight of Nebula.

Marvelous whacked her tail across Comet's face, bruising his snout. "Hush, lizard. Why take the blame for this brat?"

He winced, but held his ground, refusing to leave his sisters side.

Now, it was Galaxy's turn. She raked her talons along her son's shoulder. "Do you want to start a war with the RainWings?" She growled.

"Plus, this is a queenly matter. What I say, goes," Comet sneered something under his breath, shooting a sympathetic glance towards Nebula.

She was only five, and he was twelve. How could Queen Marvelous believe she'd killed Anaconda rather than him? Yes, he'd done it, but he'd done it for all three of his sisters.

And he'd used his own snake to do it.

The seeds he'd stolen, they were poisonous.

Meteorite was good with gardening, having her own greenhouse. She'd plant it, tell Comet what it was, and then they'd use it to get Nebula the throne. Three moons, she deserved it.

He was shaken from his thoughts by a loud crack, seeing Nebula on the ground. She'd been struck over her spine by Galaxy.

"How dare you?!" Her mother was holding a talon over her arm, red was beginning to flow down the limb.

Nebula stared defiantly towards the angered royalty. "No one speaks about my brother like that. Not even our own mother."

Galaxy spat the words, like she were a RainWing, spewing venom towards an enemy. "Have you got RainWing venom flowing through your brain, rotting it? Are you becoming a MudWing? Why do you care about them so much?" She motioned with her uninjured arm towards Asteroid and Meteorite, then swept it towards Comet.

Her bracelets clicked against each other as she did so. The gold shone in the morning light.

Comet scraped the wooden floors with his talons, marking his own lines amongst others. "Because she can, mother." Then, he spread his wings and narrowed his eyes.

Galaxy snorted. "Hah, is that a challenge? I could squish you like a bug. And, you couldn't ever be queen. You're male."

He snarled. Teeth gritted, and he lowered his wings. "It was me, mother. You know it."

Suddenly, he raised his talon to the sky, and a snake slithered to rest upon it as if it were a bracelet.

"Queen Marvelous, your majesty, if you dont mind me asking, what scale pattern of the snake did you see? Was it brown and green diamonds, or was the snake as white as IceWing scales?"
