--------
Queen Wasp was an ordinary queen before she had a fantastic idea: be queen of all three tribes! Queen Monarch had given up so easily, so perhaps Queen Sequoia would do the same. But the LeafWing Queen has much tougher skin, and won't just hand over her tribe. So Wasp is forced to initiate war, even with the Book of Clearsight in her claws.
'No, I know you well, SilkWing. You will never be ready to fight. You will never have a fighting spirit. You will never compare to me or my HiveWings. You, are, nothing.
"Well, tell me, do you think that we should come to take war against the LeafWings?" Wasp asked Monarch.
The fiery glow in Monarch's eyes disappeared at that sentence. The fear that radiated from the Ex SilkWing Queen made Wasp's decision even easier than it already had been previously. So once Monarch could give Wasp her answer, Wasp threw her against a wall.
"No!" Monarch had exclaimed, her head jerking back in fear.
"Too late," Wasp said, taking the SilkWing's head and aiming for the wall beside her. The rest of Monarch's body followed, slamming into the hive wall with a crack. Blood trickled from Monarch's forehead, down her cheek and past her lips. The orange and brown dragon lay still.'
