Anole pushed the giant leaves aside to take a view Inside and to see what Sahara Dragonfruit were doing Anole heard them talking about their kingdoms and how  Yellowjacket had started gaining popularity and members from all tribes. Anole tore off the vine he tied around his snout and walked in Sahara got up. "What are you doing here." She yelled at Anole "let him chime in he can tell me more about the council." Dragonfruit said Sahara nodded but looked sternly at Anole as she sat down. Anole trembled slightly under Queen Sahara's piercing gaze. He cleared his throat nervously before speaking up. "Apologies for eavesdropping, Your Majesties," he stammered, bowing his head respectfully. "But I couldn't help but overhear your conversation about the council." Anole said looking up at Dragonfruit who gently pulled a mango off a tree next to her and took a bite out of it. Dragonfruit gave Anole a warm smile. "It's quite alright, young Anole. We value your input, especially as a SandWing council member." She said as she threw the mango pit outside a loud ow was heard but Dragonfruit ignored it. Anole's eyes flared with a mix of pride and apprehension. Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he began sharing his insights about King Yellowjacket's Peace's Haven kingdom and its growing influence over the tribes. He explained how Yellowjacket had managed to bridge the gaps between dragons of different tribes, fostering camaraderie and understanding.  Sahara listened intently, her stern expression softening with each word. "So, Peace's Haven has become a melting pot of tribes, attracting dragons far and wide?" she asked, her eyes reflecting a mix of curiosity and concern. Anole nodded eagerly. "Yes, Your Majesty. King Yellowjacket has offered a safe haven for dragons seeking peace and harmony beyond tribal borders. Many dragons, including those from our own tribe, have chosen to join him. The council could consider learning from his methods and apply them to strengthen our alliance." He said Sahara pondered his words, lost in thought. "You may have a point, Anole. A united front and an inclusive kingdom could certainly ensure a stable future for all the tribes. We cannot afford to ignore the changing tides." She said forgetting that Dragonfruit is her future partner. Her agreement sparked a flicker of hope in Anole's eyes. Perhaps the council would take his suggestion seriously and explore the possibility of forging stronger bonds amongst the tribes, just as Peace's Haven had accomplished. Dragonfruit, ever the diplomat, stepped in gently. "Of course, it would require careful planning and delicate negotiations between the tribes. We must strive for unity without losing the unique identities and strengths each tribe possesses." She said. Anole nodded emphatically. "Absolutely, Your Majesty. A council should work towards fostering cooperation while respecting the diversity of each tribe. By doing so, we can build a future where dragons from all walks of life can thrive." He said looking at Sahara then back at Dragonfruit. Sahara rose from her seat, her expression resolute. "Anole, I appreciate your insight and your bravery for speaking up. I will convene a meeting with the council members immediately." She turned to Dragonfruit. "And I would be honored if you could attend as well, Dragonfruit." She said. As Sahara walked away carefully.
