        Lavender could remember her earliest moments. Her mother (Queen Coral) and her father gazing at her in awe. She looks like you, they would argue. "What should we name her?" asked her father.

             "We must wait until she gets her colors. It's a rainbowing tradition," her mother said back. They waited a few moments until her colors turned... Lavender. That is what they would name her. "Lavender," Queen Coral said, smiling at her little dragonet.

         "It's perfect." her father said, also smiling at her. "But wait. We cant have a rainwing with a rainwing name being the seawing princess." her father said with a worried look.

        "Oh I already planned that," Queen Coral says, sitting up straight. "Princess Aqua of the seawings,:" Coral said proudly.

          Most of her scales were lavender-the light purple kind-but under her eye were silver scales all lined up. There were patches of scales that were silver, gold, and just glowing ones. Her eyes were teal and changed colors, as for her scales. She had gills on her chest, and Icewing spikes from the top of her head to the tip of her tail. Her wings were silky and smooth, and looked rainbow representing Silkwing and Rainbowing. Her wings had stars scattered everywhere and royal SeaWing marks. She had a barbed tail like a sandwing, only the poison burned like fire, stung like a bee, and weakened like a sandwing. And her underbelly was the same color as her eye. Lavender looked up at her smiling parents tilting her head with a curious look, her sea foam green eyes glittering in the moonlight. "Aragawee" Lavender Babbled. "Prisss aca o seewigz." lavender said with a proud tone, imitating her mother Coral and lavender's father laughed.

         Two years later, as the sun set and the moons were rising it turned night. As always, Queen Coral would read Lavender's Favorite scroll. It was a scroll about a Lost continent. "Long ago," Queen Coral began "There was a land and the land was called... Paydea. Paydea was a wonderful place. Dragons living in harmony. But one day that all changed. One day, a dragon killed another dragon. That dragon went mad. He started killing other dragons for no reason. Our family was tired of it. We all were. And our family was very poor at the time and dragons would tease them for being unwealthy. One day, our family found an ancient and powerful item. That item could give anyone with a kind heart Antalonia magic. They used the magic to increase their wealth and happiness and of course, they used it to help others. Because their hearts were so full and they were so kind and generous, they became the royal family. And when they had the item, it turned them into a powerful and almost extinct kind of dragon. A rainbowing. Soon, Paydea started dying. Every dragon and dragonet had to move away. That is when Phyrria was discovered. Now everyone lives here. The end."

        "Lavender, you are also a Rainbowing too!" Queen Coral would say, as she closed the scroll.

        "I am? THAT'S SO COOL!!!" Lavender would squeal, bouncing around. Lavender was so happy to be the seawing princess. Even though at most times, she didn't look like a seawing, but Queen Coral taught Lavender how to use her shape-shifting powers to turn into a seawing when she was not around her mother.

        "Okay. It's time for bed Lavender. Good night!" Queen coral said, flying out of Lavender's room.

        "Goodnight, mommy." Lavender said, swimming down into her nest. Seawing nests are very different from the other tribes. They are holes that go deep into the ground, filled with water. Later that night, it was storming, and a skywing had snuck in. He was holding a bag, and slowly creeped by the guards. Since everyone was asleep, he easily snuck into Lavender's room and held her up in front of him. "Well well well. What do we have here?" the skywing said, gazing at her. "Why is a rainwing a seawing princess?" the skywing pondered out loud. "Well it's not my concern. I have to bring her to the boss." the skywing said, stuffing Lavender in the bag. The skywing flew off with lavender. After flywing about four miles, the skywing dropped lavender. "NO!" the Skywing shouted, reaching for the bag. But it was too late. Lavender had disappeared through the clouds. When Lavender woke up, she got out of the bag and looked around. After seeing nothing related to the seawing castle, tears started to swell up in her eyes and she started to cry. "MOMMY!!" Lavender cried. "MOMMY WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!" She shouted again. It was hopeless. She had no idea where she was, and she couldn't find Queen Coral.

        Lavender saw a few trees ahead and toddled to them. She cried so much that her scales were glowing blue. She walked with her head down and couldn't see, and as the sun rose she walked into the rainforest without knowing. A few minutes later, she bumped into a pink and yellow rainwing. "Oop-" the rainwing said as she almost tripped over lavender "Why are your scales so blue? I've never seen this before. What happened?" the rainwing asked with a concerned look.

        "I lost my mommy!" Lavender wailed.

        "Shh Shh, it's okay. Who is your mom and what does she look like?" the rainwing said in a soft and comforting tone.

         "Her name is Queen Coral and she's a blue seawing," Lavender said, tears gushing down her face like a river. "QUEEN CORAL?! How are you a SeaWing?" asked the rainwing shocked. Lavender shape-shifted into her seawing form.

        "Because I'm a rainbowing." Lavender replied, staring at the floor, and kicking her foot back and forth.

        "Well let me take you to my hut. This storm is getting bad." the dragon said, holding out her talon for lavender to climb on. \
