1: New Recruits New Mission
Flashback/Nightmare
"You hybrids are all disgraces to our kind and can't be trusted. Therefore, you must be destroyed." Queen Emerald, the Skywing Queen, stared down at her, bright gold eyes flashing with malice. "Please...your Majesty....I will not betray you like those before me. I am a loyal soldier for you to control." Flareblossom swore, eyes pleading and on the verge of tears. "That's exactly what others who stood before you said." The Queen snarled in her face. "Queen Emerald I plead...I plead, please let me live." Flareblossom felt the beast in her rising. Her BeastSoul. "I beg of you." The hybrid felt s tear splash on her cheek. Queen Emerald actually seemed to consider her plead, but her cold eyes said another story, along with her voice, "kill her." And Flareblossom lost it and her vision turned red and she lunged at the Queen when suddenly all the windows in the Skywing Palace shattered into pieces and dragons flooded the Palace. Flareblossom collapsed on the ground and covered her head, hearing roars of rage and seeing fire erupt before her. "Get up, let's go." Flareblossom looked up to see a huge Sandwing hybrid. "W-What's happening?" Flareblossom stood. "I'll explain as soon as we get to Base but we must hurry. I'm Onyx." He helped get the shackles off her and flew out one of the shattered windows with Flareblossom following.
Flashback/Nightmare Ended
Flareblossom woke, gasping with terror, from her nightmare...er, flashback. She felt her eyes watering, and blinked the tears away, refusing to cry over yesterday. Queen Emerald refuses my services. Sure, u had been hiding out and sure I hadn't grown up with any of my two tribes, but that doesn't give her a reason to randomly try and execute me because of my heritage. It's not my fault I'm like this. Maybe you should check all of your, 'loyal subjects who would die in battle for you!' Flare thought, and a tear snuck past her defenses and plopped onto her cheek. Stop crying. Stop it stop it stop it! She hissed in her head, but more tears slipped down her cheek and she tried to wipe them away but they kept coming. Why me? She thought, her tail curling close around her. She had the tail of a Sandwing, the feet of a Sandwing, and the body, wings and head of a Skywing. I'm almost like Onyx! He's half Skywing and half Sandwing, though he's also half Nightwing. Flare smiled wryly to herself as she stood up and leapt from her bed in the Infirmary. They'd taken her there to treat her burns and wounds from being captured and then the chase from the Skywing Palace. What she hadn't noticed before, was an amulet with a gold chain and gold surrounding a rock or gem in the middle that was the same color of her scales. "It's beautiful! It matches my ring and my bands." She said, referring to her tail bands and arm bands that she wore, plus her gold ring and her ear piercing. Wow I love jewelry. And treasure. It's unhealthy ya know Flare! She thought to herself with a small giggle. That's when she noticed the scroll next to her bed. She picked it up and unrolled it. It said the following:
Dear FlareBlossom,
You have a new assignment. I hope your recovered enough to go on missions now with your new group, because that's what's going to happen. Did I tell you that you have a new group of partners? No? Well I just did. Meet them at Prey Hall as soon as your read this. They'll tell you your new mission.
From, your most loyal and courageous leader,
Onyx.
Flare snorted. I forgot how I'll of himself he is. She thought as she rolled the scroll back up and left her cave. She looked down the hall and saw a few dragons walking down it, seeming to be talking about breakfast, so Flare followed them, guessing that they were heading to Prey Hall. Soon, the hallway led to a huge cavern with dragons sitting at different tables and eating different types of food. Flare's Skywing side dragged her towards the pigs, but her Sandwing side dragged her towards the lizards. Flare instantly headed for the pigs and ate eagerly in the corner of the cavern. When she headed for the lizards, someone stopped in front of her. "Are you FlareBlossom?" The voice asked. Flare looked up into dark brown eyes. "Y-Yes. Who're you?" She dared to ask. "I'm MaceShadow, but call me Mace. I'm in your group." Flare could tell he was half Mudwing but couldn't guess the other half. "What are you? I mean, I know your Mudwing but what else?" Flare asked shyly. Mace smiled in amusement. "Nightwing. Now come on, the others are waiting." He turned and headed out Prey Hall. Flare grabbed a lizard and ate it and followed after him. She followed him into another cavern, but much smaller, with about five other dragons. "Finally!" A Seawing hybrid stood and glared at Flare. "What took you so long?" He snorted. "Shut up Crasher." Mace snarled. "By the way, this is WaveCrasher, he's half Seawing half Icewing: if you can tell." Mace snickered. WaveCrasher, or Crasher, snorted at Mace, and ice came from his nostrils. "That's RainDew, Rain-Seawing." A small dragon sat in the corner and dipped her head in greeting. "Stormchaser the 10th-don't ask about the other 9." Mace pointed to a Nightwing hybrid. "He's half Nightwing, half Rainwing and a bit of Skywing. The hybrid across from him is Okapi, and she's half Nightwing half Rainwing." Mace smiled.
"Introductions aside, can we get this over with?" A Seawing hybrid walks over to them. "This is Storm, half Seawing half Rainwing. And to answer your question, yes." Mace growled.
"Our assignment is..?" Flare asked.
"In the Rainforest, Rainwings are causing trouble. We must infiltrate it, and eradicate those wishing to disturb the peace." Crasher came up.
Flare paled. Eradicate?
