Hi everyone! I know I don't usually interrupt before hand, but I've been doing a lot of reading, watching... movies, they're called? and doing... research, you could say. I'm stating to like the community I'm in more, once I got one over some surprises, the fandom's been ever so helpful...

The Dragonets  of Destiny landed in the rainforest to try to save one of their guardians' lives: Asha had been stung by a scorpion and was slowly dying. First landed the SeaWing: the fiercest and bravest of them all. Fierce in a slightly bad way- she'd fight anyone and anything. Then landed the Wings of Mud: he thought very lowly of himself, but was determined to protect his friends. Sometimes he'd disappear for days at a time, though, before someone could convince him he was needed or at the very least wanted.

The NightWing was next. He was the smartest of the bunch, and often held it above everyone else's heads: especially Tsunami's. The others didn't complain much about it, though, since he was pretty much the mastermind of all their missions. Sunny was the freaky dragon who over obsessed about making everything seem wonderful and perfect, or at least trying to look at everything wonderful. 

And then there was Majesty. She was the SkyWing, and she was practically perfect. Her name suited her well, as she was rumored to have been taken from Queen Scarlet's own hatchery. Even if this was false, she held the group together. She could boast Clay's strengths and calm Tsunami. She could remind Starflight of the benefits of combined efforts versus his alone. She would remind Sunny that even though it's great to look up, looking straight is necessary to avoid crashes. She was beautiful, and Tsunami seemed jealous of her sometimes.

They had two guardians: Dune, a SandWing who had been killed while outside to hunt, but nobody had seen it; and Asha, who was now dying from a SandWing  sting. Not only was she their last guardian, but she was the kindest, sweetest, BEST guardian anyone could want- unless Majesty became one, that is- but she was still a dragonet. Asha also happened to be Clay's aunt, the main reason she was their guardian. But now she was dying.

When they reached the RainWing village, Majesty leaped in front of Tsunami and narrowly caught the dart in her jaws. She swirled her tongue around it, avoiding the tip, and shot it back at the RainWing who shot it. "Starflight! Shield us!" Majesty called. Without a moment of hesitation a bubble formed around the group.

"Hello," Clay said. "We need help. We come in peace, will you please take us to your village?"

After a few moments three RainWings melted from the trees. "Follow us, one of the RainWings said."

The group knew what the RainWings were capable of due to Starflight's extensive research: hours spent studying each tribe, with Clay to protect him. Upon entering the village, none of the faces they saw were hostile, but this was not a surprise to the Dragonets. It took some convincing, but Clay finally managed to convince Magnificent to let them look into the forest.

Starflight led from there, leading the group towards the tunnel to the Sand Kingdom. Majesty helped Clay and Tsunami carry Asha, and they gently set her down upon reaching the other side.

"I'm heading back," Tsunami growled. "This heat is unbearable."

"I love this heat!" Sunny exclaimed.

"That would make sense, since you're a SandWing," Starflight observed. "I'll head back with Tsunami to make sure she doesn't cause trouble... you know how she is sometimes."

That left Clay, Majesty, and Sunny to find a brightsting cactus. It was relatively easy to find one, due to Starflight's notes which he'd left for them. On the way back to the tunnel, however, a voice called out to them. "Halt!"

Turning around, the trio were faced with two SandWing guards."Where are you going with that SandWing?" the second guard demanded. She narrowed her eyes. "We should have you killed. Two enemy dragons, taking a SandWing... where?"

"The SandWing might be on Burn's side," the first guard whispered loudly.

"Burn? No! She's strong, but she loves weird things.She'd kill me to hang me on her wall the second she saw me! An honor, but still! See my tail?" Sunny raised her tail, revealing to the guards that she had no barb on it.

This didn't help the second guard. "So let me get this straight for you. From my point of view, an enemy SkyWing and enemy MudWing are taking a SandWing that would only be able to side with Queen Blaze to who knows where. Is this correct?"

Uh oh... don't think Sunny can talk her way out of this one, even if she's presumed to be the victim. I don't know what to do in this situation! Who's your favorite dragonet of destiny, by the way? Tell me in the textbo.... the comments! Been a lot of fun, but I got some things to do. Won't be gone long! P.S. I'm starting to like these characters more.
