I leaped off the cliff, my wings peeling open to catch a drift on the wind. A vast forest shown beneath me as I went into a dive and crashed through the trees, earning a small tear on my wing. I clambered through the branches, getting my wings and tail caught on them constantly. I wonder how the Rainwings do it. I suddenly see a flash of purple in the distance, along with something pink following it. Rainwings! They didn't look very threatening like the tales, but hey ho anything could happen. I climbed through the trees and spotted a large platform, eggs sat on top of the platform, protected by a light leaf roof. I hopped over to the platform, glancing from egg to egg. It was a rainbow of color... So majestic. I grabbed a small egg, it was smaller than the rest, and a jet black color. It looked unique so I took it, hopefully it could fetch a good price. I climbed atop a tree and flared my wings, taking off. Those rain dragons didn't even see me. I flew back to the Sand Kingdom, landing near a market. It looked familiar so I took a few turns and ended up at the auction that me and my pal ran. I called out his name awaiting a response. A few minutes later I heard a deep voice: "Back so quickly?" Bellowed a large Sandwing that had a gray-brown scale mix with charcoal diamonds running down his neck. "Yes, I am back. And with a surprise." I said, holding out the Jet Black Rainwing egg. "Interesting.. What price would be fitting for it." He said, his voice enunciated on " Price". I tapped my tail against the floor, thinking. "Ten gold bars?" I said . "Yes yes... That could work." He mumbled. "Put it up somewhere for our next auction." He said, a grin forming on his face. I hurried off to put it next to our other stuff. We held the next auction at dusk, when most dragons came around to the desert. A cluster of dragons showed up, all of them talking about prices. Boa(The Sandwing I work with) walked out onto the stage, rolling a cage behind him. Our most prized possession, an Animus, MIND READING, FUTURE TELLING NIGHTWING! It fetches a large price. I notice a reddish colored Sandwing off in the distance that had a small around him. I knew this dragon. Even though he wore a dark red hood, I knew him.. That was our local cultist, Pocket. Pocket is a rich dragon, rivaling royalty. He looked up at me and smiled, that innocent grin I have known all through-out my dragonet-hood. I knew what he was up to. He wanted to buy our prized possession for a low price. Knowing that if he doesn't get it, he'll send assassins out after us. Trying to kill us to claim the prize as his own. The auction started, we brought out the Rainwing egg. "Anyone? Going once, going twice.." Boa started . "20 gold bars!" Pocket shouted . Boa looked at me, surprised.  "Anyone else?" Boa said. Other dragons started mumbling to each other. " SOLD!"Boa called. And that's where it all began...
