---------------------

Phoenix felt the sun on her scales, Oh good, must be 5:30.

J- Damn, their sun rises WAY too early.

Thought Phoenix as she got up and flew out the door. Why do my wings feel so tired? Phoenix thought as she was halfway to the pine forest. She slipped into the gap in the tree as she got there. "Hi, guys." Phoenix moaned. "PHOENIX! Three moons, I thought something was up!" Silverleaf

E- THERE she is!

said, rushing over to Phoenix. "Oh Phoenix, it looks like something IS up.

M- (a la Silverleaf) "You haven't been trauma dumping lately, are you okay?"

And- AHHHHH!" Silverleaf shouted as she took a look at Phoenix. "What?" Phoenix groaned. "Y-your neck! It's burning up!" Silverleaf said, panicked. "Lie down, it'll be ok." Fullmoon said.

E- WHO THE HECK IS FULLMOON?!

Phoenix collapsed onto the soil. "Make this clump of dirt-" Silverleaf said, picking up some dirt. "Into healing dirt so Phoenix can heal." Silverleaf finished, and the dirt clump formed into moss. Silverleaf rubbed some moss on Phoenix's neck. "Wait!" Fawn said.

M- Oh, I've got it! It's the "Fawn" in the prophecy!

J- You paid attention to that? Weirdo.

"This is Mudwing fire, right?" Asked Fawn. Phoenix nodded. "We don't need healing moss. We need Albatross lake."

M- And you, audience, will get to guess what exactly that is!

Phoenix stepped into the lake, and sunk her neck in. "Better?" Asked Silverleaf. "Better, I guess." Phoenix said, glancing at Fawn. Fawn was just the description that her mother told her. Was Fawn the one who attacked her? No. Impossible. But how could she know it was Mudwing fire? Thought Phoenix.

G- BEEP! BEEP!

E- FORESHADOW ALERT!

Tidepool emerged from the lake, holding some scales of a different color and pattern. "What's this?" Asked Nightbreaker. "Come." Tidepool said. "I found a new tribe." "Ok."

M, E, and J- (in unison, casually) Ok.

Said the others in unison. They all held their breath, and dove in. As soon as everyone emerged from the other side of the lake, they saw numerous dragons with slanted tails and messed-up faces.

E- Yeah, well, prison and drugs can do that to ya.

It also appeared they were in a cave. "Euugh. What tribe is this?" Asked Hummingbird and Silverleaf in disgust. One of the unknown tribe dragons walked up to the dragonets and looked up, face clearly full of surprise. "Who are you?" Asked a hatchling emerging from behind. "We are the prophecy dragonets." Said Phoenix. All of the cave turned silent. Then, the first dragon spoke: "From the scrolls? The dragonet prophecy? You? But your TWO mudwings, TWO nightwings, ONE skywing,

E- ONE braincell, NO therapists, TEN confusions-

TWO rainwings, ONE seawing, NO sandwings, and that... thing..." Said the dragon, facing toward Neptune. "The dragonet prophecy? That ended MOONS ago!!" Tidepool said. "Then you're lying. Only one prophecy is here right now and it's the dragonet one." "No,

J- (falsetto, laughing) "You idiot..."

that one ended. The Flame prophecy has begun. And don't call me a Mudwing, that's offensive." Phoenix said.

G- "Wings... Of... Flame!" Ohhh! I get it now!

"I'm Phoenix, a tigerwing, that one you call a thing is Neptune, a spacewing. That one that is green right there is Silverleaf, a pinewing. The one that has NO stars on her wings is Fullmoon, a willowwing." Phoenix explained.

G- Can we go home now? They explained everything!

"What is this FLAME PROPHECY?" Asked the dragon.

(ALL clamor "Woah!" "Pipe down!" "I'm trying to sleep!" "Shout much?")

"My queen, Deadwood, can't find her daughter, Dark Oak. So we are looking for her." Said Fullmoon. "Ah. Very well." The dragon said, standing up and was about to trot away until Phoenix stopped her. "WAIT!" Phoenix shouted. "You haven't told us your name." "Me? Oh. Us Rockwings aren't very understandable. Pardon our manners."

M- It's kind of hard to.

Said the dragon.

G- Yes, you're a dragon, you said it, now wha-

DRACOPEDIA

ALL- AHHH!

Rockwings used to be a different tribe, but their bodies got used to the caves and now they are made that way

J- It's called "evolution"

M- No, Jonah, they might be made in a factory.

Rockwings have super strength and are made to work in the mines.

"My name is Obsidian, the captain of the west shaft. Come in." Said the dragon, signaling all the other Rockwings to get back to work. "Oh! Is this... a cave? I've never seen a cave before!" Shouted Neptune, gliding into the cave's entrance.

G- Who's Neptune again?

As they followed Obsidian, the cave light started fading darker and darker. Phoenix looked over to Silverleaf, who was mumbling a spell under her breath. Seconds later, Silverleaf's body started glowing. "Much better." Said Fullmoon. Either way, Phoenix could see fine through the cave.

E- That entire section just gave us the best no-context character traits ever.

"Here it is, where all our valuables are sorted and placed." Obsidian announced. "WOAH!!" Shouted the dragonets, glancing nonstop around the room, which had shimmering minerals and gemstones all around the room. All the other Rockwings stood still, and bowed as Obsidian passed them. Cool, so she is like their queen.

E- (chuckles) Hahaha, c o o l.

But, she is a captain. There must be others. Thought Phoenix. Then, the Rockwings glanced toward a different tunnel and bowed. A Rockwing that had the darkest of blue scales walked out with a gemstone spiked tail, like Obsidian's. Obsidian bowed and signaled the dragonets to bow too. "Obsidian." Said the other captain, bowing. "Blizzard Stone. What a pleasant surprise. How is my Schorl Tourmaline doing?"

M- Schor- shhk- sckkkorl- shhhorl- shhh...

Obsidian said, standing up. All the Rockwings stood up. "Your daughter is well fit to be a sorter. She knows all the gems." Said Blizzard Stone. All of the Rockwings are named after black gems... thought Phoenix.

J- bUT HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!

"Oh, when my egg hatches, I'll have to send the poor thing to the South Shaft." Obsidian sighed. "Yes. Unless we could stop it." "Do you think?" Obsidian asked. "CAPTAIN OBSIDIAN!!" Shouted a Rockwing that looked just like Blizzard Stone. "COBBLESTONE! We do not run OR shout in these caves!" Obsidian growled.

J- (shouting, a la Obsidian) "AM I CLEAR?"

"Obsidian's right! You should do better." Blizzard Stone snapped. "Yes, sorry. Hi mom." Cobblestone said as he looked at Blizzard Stone. "Hi son. Now what is it you came to her shouting about?" Blizzard Stone said. "It's Obsidian's egg." Cobblestone said urgently. "It hatched."

J- Man, I think this deserves a chart.
