Lily sat at the brown oak table, staring at the dragons from the other tribes. There was rainbow, the council's constantly flickering rain wing, Rose, the bright red, level headed sky wing, wise chooser, the over confident night wing, Beetle, the small light brown sand wing with hollow black eyes, and frost the serious blinding white ice wing, but no sign of dolphin, the bombastic sea wing. She was the average mud wing who was lucky to be here.
"Maybe he's not coming." Said rose, in a very impatient tone.
"He's coming, I can see it." Said wise chooser.
"I'm starting to question you magic mind powers." Beetle said, staring hardly at wise chooser.
This is going to take hours. Thought lily.
"Let's just begin without him." She said.
"Fine, I'm guessing you have a pressing matter that needs attention." Said frost.
"Yes, it's about the scavengers." Lily started. "We have to do something about scavengers on mud wing territory, they have killed 120 mud wings this year alone!" She told them.
"We need to address this, now!" Said rainbow almost immediately, bright red taking over his body.
"Before we start sending dragons into battle, we need to make sure these aren't savage scavengers. They could not be under control of the other scavengers." Said Beetle.
"He's right." Added wise chooser. "They don't seem very organized."
The door to the council hall suddenly opened.
"Sir, you have a delivery."said one of the guards, carrying in a big box.
He left, closing the also wooden doors with a thud.
"I'll open it." Said frost. He opened the box. Inside was their missing sea wing.
Dolphin lay in the box, an expression of 
terror still frozen on his face.
"Okay, if this isn't a reason for war, than what in the three moons is." Said rose.
"We still don't know-" Beetle was interrupted by frost.
"This is scavenger language." He said picking up a note under Dolphin's body.
"Well, all in favor of going to war against the scavengers?" Asked lily.
"Wait, what's that sound? It sound like beeping." Said wise chooser.
Suddenly, the whole room became a big fireball. Lily's underbelly erupted in sharp pain and her ears rang. When she finally got her bearings, she was bleeding in several places, a lot and every one of the council members was dead, but lily. The other dragons shielded lily from the main blast, but lily was still badly hurt.
Guards instantly came in.
"Councilor, are you alright?" He asked.
She coughed a bit then spit up her own blood. "Gather the tribes, tell them we are at war with the scavengers." She said.
She took a final breath and then hissed, and lay there, dead.
