A little dragonet woke up in his egg unable to move. All he could hear was the minds of two dragons nearby, they must be my parents! He thought joyfully I want to see them right now! He thought as he started pushing against the shell of the egg. There was a series of cracks and suddenly moonlight spilled in. He could see two dragons a nightwing, who from their thoughts was obviously his mother and a... Wait what? The dragon standing beside his mother was a rainwing who was most likely his father. He looked down at his scales to see them have a greenish tinge to them. "Darkflight my child" his mother said softly. His father replied with "That's a good name it suits him" Darkflight walked feebly towards his mother so he could curl up in her warm talons. He's beautiful his mother was thinking. All his father was thinking was I could really go for a coconut right about now.
5 years later
"Darkflight come quick!" It was his friend, Alloy. Alloy was a unique dragon, an ironwing. Darkflight sat up groggily. "coming" He went into the main room of their cave "what is so important you had to wake me up?"
"Look!" He pointed out the doorway. Darkflight looked out and saw nothing out of the ordinary. Alloy suddenly burst out laughing. "YOU— ACTUALLY— FELL— FOR IT!" He said between laughs.
"Ha ha very funny" is all Darkflight replied with. CRACK. "What was that?" Darkflight asked curiously. He went outside to see a seawing and crashed through the trees. "ALLOY COME HELP ME!"
"I'm not falling for it!" He replied
"No I'm serious!"
"Well let's see if you're just being funny or not" Alloy came out of the cave "WHOA What happened!?"
"I don't know but another dragon crashed down over there, go see if they are ok."
"Are you okay?" He asked the seawing. "What is your name?"
"Jelly" the dragonet replied hoarsely.
"What happened?"
"My friend, he got infected midflight he tore my wing during the 'zombie' phase and crashed down somewhere over there." Jelly pointed towards where Alloy was.
"ALLOY!"
"What" he called back
"THAT DRAGONET IS INFECTED GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
"Okay"
"What was his name?" Darkflight asked Jelly
"Seaweed"
"Was he your friend?"
"He wasn't just a friend... He was my brother." Why am I telling him this? Jelly thought.
"Maybe because I can help you."
"Wait you're a mind reader!?"
"Oh yeah sorry... I should've told you."
"Can you see the future too?"
"Before I answer that let's get you inside" He started to help Jelly up but he brushed him off.
"No I'm good I can stand on my own." They walked inside with Alloy trailing behind.Jelly curled up on the bundle of cloth on the ground that was used as a couch."So about that answer..."
"Oh yeah. I can't see the future. I only get visions which is really rare."
"It's only happened once that I know of." Alloy chimed in.
"Jelly you should get some sleep, you can use my bed."
"Thank you but right here is comfortable." Jelly fell asleep soon thereafter. He slept until the next day.

Jelly woke up to the sound of a battle outside. He was completely rested and felt great his muscles didn't ache and he could definitely go and fight. He got up and ran outside. What he saw was pure madness, the trees were on fire, nightwings crowded the sky as they battled an oncoming horde of sandwings, Darkflight and Alloy were killing anyone who crossed their path. He was about to fly up to battle but he remembered his ripped wing so he resorted to smacking anyone who came low enough. A nightwing was pushed down and Jelly smacked him so hard his wing broke and he fell to the ground. "What are you doing" he hissed.
"Just killing anyone who gets in my way!" And with that he smashed his tail on the nightwings head. An audible crack was heard and he crumpled to the ground, blood spilling out of the wing where it was broken. A sandwing and a nightwing crashed to the ground battling. "Darkflight, Alloy! What's going on?"
"All we know is that tension built between the nightwings and the sandwings and all at once all the rage burst out and they attacked each other."
"But what brought them here?"
"We don't know!" A seawing suddenly ran towards him."Are you prince Jelly?"
"Yes I am. Why?"
"The sea kingdom is falling into anarchy!"
"What!? What do you mean!?"
"The attacks by the mudwings are getting more frequent and everyone is terrified."
"Aren't you fighting back?!"
"We are but they're too strong!"
"Use your tails!"
"We are but they're to fa—"
"LOOK OUT!" Jelly yelled
The seawing looked up as a volley of nightwing spears missed a group of sandwings and came plummeting down towards him. "Farewell your majesty" he said with a smile. The spears sliced through his scales like talons through mud. His wings were ripped to shreds. A spear landed right on his shoulder severing his wing. Blood was pooling on the ground around him. "I hope you remember who I was." The seawing said before a spear landed through his head sticking into the ground. Jelly roared as he remembered who this was. It was prawn, the queens advisor, his friend. "YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" He roared at the nightwings. He fought vigorously, smashing nightwings to the ground and ripping them apart with his claws. The sandwings never went near him, except one. That one was smashed to the ground with a crippling blow from his tail and then got her head ripped off by the sheer force Jelly put into the blow to her head.

Alloy was a good fighter, one of the best but he seemed like nothing compared to Jelly how is he so good he thought it took me years of practice to get this good yet he's the same age. He used his sharp talons to an advantage. Slice this dragons wing so he falls and gets taken care of by Jelly, stab this one through the heart, slit this ones throat, rip that dragons head off and of course his favourite thing to do: rip the dragons wings off. To most dragons this would be violent but Alloy wasn't most dragons, he was an Ironwing, feared by all even the icewings.

Darkflight admired Jellys style, smash and rip, he wished he had a tail like that. He was fighting his own tribe. The ones who raised him and cared for him now his enemy. The plague release caused all tribes to go to war because they all blamed each other. There was a legend of a cure for the paroor but it was very unlikely that it was true. Darkflight just kept fighting no matter what, even if he was killing his own tribe. Within an hour all the nightwings were defeated and the sandwings were approaching the trio. Darkflight rushed towards them expecting them to get scared. "What was that?" He heard a Sandwing hiss.
"That was just a warning" Jelly said doing the same. This time they stopped their slow approach.
"Might want to leave now" This was Alloy rushing to stand beside Darkflight.
"General, we should leave you saw how efficient these guys are in combat." A Sandwing whispered to the dragon at the front of the group.
"No" she hissed "I do not back down from a challenge. FOR QUEEN DUNE!" The sandwings started to run forward.
"Your choice" Darkflight said. He sliced, scorched and burned many of them. Jelly was the best fighter. He slammed his tail into Sandwing after Sandwing all while slashing with his talons. Alloy was doing the most gruesome attacks to get the message across no one attacks us and survives. All the sandwings were dead and all he could think was we did it. "We did it... We beat two tribes... What!?" Darkflight was tired and ready to sleep as long as Jelly had.
"Let's get some sleep" Alloy said.
"Can I hunt something to eat?" Jelly asked "I'm starving!"
"Just don't get yourself killed"
"I won't."
Suddenly Darkflight saw something. Pyrrhia splitting apart, a massive nightwing emerging from the cracks in the earth. He was having a vision for the first time in years.
