Wings of Power

Mother

New chapter, go and read it.

The group landed in front of the gates to a town in front of them. Walls guarding all sides of the dusty town.

The Scorpion den was the first stop on their way through the Sand Kingdom.

"All right guys, let's start asking some questions, but don't go and act out of place, there is apparently a bunch of criminals here," Starflight said as he walked into the town.

"Ohh yeah, because a SeaWing walking around the desert isn't strange at all," Tsunami said sarcastically.

"Actually, you will fit in better than you think, this kingdom mainly has SandWings, but there is a ton of other tribes that come here to get away from their kingdom and the war," Starflight explained.

"Where do you think that the town leaders would be for the den?" Turtle asked out loud.

Starflight shook his head, "There is no "Town Leader" here, this place is run by two gangs that are constantly fighting, the "Outclaws" and the "Talons of power", there are other smaller gangs, but those two pretty much run this place." Starflight explained.

"Then why are we hear?" Winter asked, wiping the dripping sweat off his face.

"Because this is the main town in the Sand Kingdom." Starflight answered, "All the other towns are much smaller like Redstone, and you never know, you may find a diamond in the rough,"

They were all walking through the town, besides the vendors overrunning them by presenting the group with their wares, it seemed to not be a bad town.

"Starflight, I thought you said that this was a seedy town?" Clay asked confused. He didn't see anybody that looked like they were in poverty or criminals.

A shopkeeper overheard them, "And you would be correct to assume that about this town, until a couple of weeks ago, It seemed like overnight that the crime started stopping."

"What happened?" Sunny asked the shopkeeper curiously.

"Nobody here knows for sure, but there were rumors that it had to do something with the Outclaws." The shopkeeper explained.

"Do you know how to find the Outclaws?" Starflight asked.

"Oh yea, everybody here knows, they regulate the oasis here and make sure it never runs dry, just head towards the center of town, you'll find guards from the Outclaws there." The Shopkeeper finished.

"Thank you!" Sunny said nicely.

The group made their way towards the center of town, politely declining offers from vendors all the way through town until they reached the center.

It wasn't very hard to find the oasis. It was in the center of town like they were told, but there was also a huge line of dragons leading up to it with guards helping the villagers get water.

"Go to the back of the line, we promise that every dragon here will get some water," one of the guards shouted at the group.

"Actually, we weren't looking for water, we were just wanting to ask you a few questions?" Sunny said, stepping up.

"Three moons, no we won't hel-" the guard shut up when he caught sight of Sunny's tail. The guard hesitated for a bit but then bent over to the other guard, getting his attention and pointing at the tail.

The other guard walked up to Sunny, "Excuse me if I am being rude, but... did you get an injury on the end of your tail?"

Sunny grabbed the end of her tail defensively, "No, and there is nothing wrong with my tail,"
