Qibli set off to conquer the Rainforest Kingdom first. Rainwings, the weakest of them all. He thought. Actually, that isn't true. They are probably one of the stronger tribes. But the fact that they don't do anything about it is what makes them weak. He thought of Moon and how she used to grow up in the rainforest, and he stopped. They must have gone back to Turtle to help. He realized. Well then, two can play that game. He flew down to a tree, plucked one of its leaves, and whispered to it, "Leaf. I enchant you to be the key to Turtle of the Seawing's source of animus magic. Once I destroy you, Turtle's magic also gets destroyed." Qibli then threw it as far as he could (not very far, it only landed a few feet in front of him) and burned it to crisps. He smiled. Time to destroy Glory now.

Qibli spotted her throne, (more like a platform, he thought) and descended. When Queen Glory noticed the sudden appearance of Qibli, she flicked her tail, and suddenly seven Rainwings came out of hiding and attacked him. Deathbringer was immediately on the scene and pinned Qibli down.

"Get. OFF OF ME." Qibli roared.

Queen Glory signaled her guards to lift him, and Qibli adjusted his crown. He put on his best smile and introduced himself.

"Queen Glory, I am-"

"You're Qibli. I know that." Glory said with a bored face. "Apologies for my guards attacking you. Although to be fair, you could have just come in through the door politely." She flicked her tail again in the direction of the door. 

A guard looked at Glory confused, mimicking the gesture of attacking Qibli again. Glory just frowned and shook her head. Dumb Rainwings, Qibli thought.

"Actually, I'm King Qibli now. Ruler of the Sandwings. I have come here to take your throne."

Glory and Deathbringer looked at each other, confused.

"Darkstalker already came here and took the Nightwings," Deathbringer said.

Qibli laughed. "I meant for the Rainwings," he explained. "I'm here to rule all of Pyrrhia alongside Darkstalker. Now give up the throne. Now."

Queen Glory shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I can't just hand my dragons over to you."
"And why is that?" Qibli interrupted.

"Well, first off, you're a Sandwing. Not a Rainwing. Second, Glory is a better ruler than you. My point still stands if she thought to take over Pyrrhia." Deathbringer piped up.

"I can speak for myself, Deathbringer." Glory snapped at him. Deathbringer raised his talons to say he wouldn't argue with the Queen and stood beside her.

Qibli narrowed his eyes. "Last chance,"

At this point, all the guards and Glory shook their heads. Deathbringer shook his head vigorously as if Qibli was slow and had to be sure with a violent head shake.

"Fine," Qibli said. "Then I'll do it with force."

"What do you mean by tha-" Glory asked. But before she could finish her sentence, an invisible force propelled her backward. Everyone around him panicked. Deathbringer roared and quickly rested beside her, making her get up. It was no use. Glory already fell unconscious, with her scales turning milky white. Deathbringer shed a tear.

"No..." He said. A Rainwing looked at Qibli and directed a venom splat at his eye, which Qibli blocked with a vine that he enchanted. He then enchanted a beetle to explode and make everyone dazed.

"Now, attention Rainwings. I am your new king. And you all are going to help me attack the Icewings."
