Scarlet lunged forward with a ferocity that cracked like thunder through the tension-filled air. Her claws swept low, aiming directly for Dustcollector's legs. In an instant, Dustcollector was caught off guard, her sturdy frame faltering as she was knocked off her feet, rolling onto her stomach, wings flapping in a desperate attempt to regain stability.

"Mother!" Icemoon called out, panic flooding her voice as she dashed toward the massive Nightwing, her heart pounding against her chest.

Dustcollector let out a furious roar, echoing defiance and pain as Scarlet's claws cut deep. The sharpness of the strike was a brutal reminder of the stakes at hand, and blood sprayed like a dark burst against the surrounding earth. Icemoon felt her stomach twist at the sight.

In that fleeting moment, everything felt uncertain—Dustcollector, usually so fierce and protective, was now vulnerable, exposed beneath Scarlet's brutal assault. Icemoon's instincts kicked in, and she surged forward. "Get away from her, Scarlet!"

Drawing on every bit of courage she could muster, Icemoon summoned her own power, a flicker of magic swirling around her claws as she prepared to defend her mother. Clay, too, moved beside her, ready to support his friend in whatever confrontation lay ahead.

"Stay back, Icemoon!" Dustcollector roared through clenched teeth, struggling against the pain and the weight of Scarlet's onslaught. "I can handle this!"

But Icemoon couldn't just stand by and watch. As Dustcollector fought to push herself up, Icemoon felt a surge of determination swell within her. "No! We fight together!" She remembered the strength of their bond, the way they had always protected each other, and she refused to let her mother fall to Scarlet's cruelty.

Clay nudged Icemoon, spurring her on. "Together, remember? We've got this!"

With a fierce cry, Icemoon launched herself at Scarlet, an unexpected beam of energy crackling at her claws. She aimed for the Skywing queen's flank, hoping to distract her long enough for Dustcollector to recover.

Scarlet, sensing the attack, turned just in time to deflect Icemoon's blow. "You think you can save her?" she hissed, eyes dark with malice. "You're still just a hatchling!"

But Icemoon's resolve only strengthened as she faced down the threat. "I'm more than that!" she shouted back, her magic flaring brighter.

With Clay by her side, they pressed on, ready to defend their family and confront the impending clash with every ounce of strength they possessed. The battle was far from over, and the tides of war were shifting as the outcome for both Dustcollector and Icemoon hung precariously in the balance.

Scarlet bared her teeth in a vicious grin, her eyes glinting with a twisted sort of satisfaction. "I'll have her uterus ripped out for what she did to me," she declared, flaring a wing wide to display a burned scar etched across the membrane. The symbol of the Nightwings stood stark upon her, a reminder of the pain and betrayal she felt, fueling her anger.

Icemoon skidded to a halt, the sand kicking up around her in a cloud that caught the fading light. "Just what story do you two have?" she barked angrily, a mixture of confusion and outrage boiling within her.

Dustcollector, struggling to her feet, snorted a plume of smoke from her nostrils, her gaze fierce even amidst the pain. "She took my husband—making him cheat with her!" The words came out through gritted teeth, each syllable laced with raw rage, yet tinged with pain as she tried to steady herself. Though she managed to rise, blood continued to drip from her injuries, dripping into the sand below.

"Mom, please! We can't let her get away with this!" Icemoon urged, her heart racing as she looked from Scarlet back to Dustcollector. The sight of her mother so injured only fueled her anger, igniting a fire deep within her.

"Shut up, hatchling!" Scarlet spat, her temper flaring. "This is between me and your mother. She brought this on herself!"

Dustcollector's eyes narrowed, a flicker of defiance cutting through her pain. "You think you can intimidate me by flaunting your scars?" she growled, though each breath was labored. "I stand for my tribe, and if you think you can just take that away from me, you're mistaken."

The air thickened with tension, the battlefield a charged arena pulsing with conflict. Icemoon glanced at her mother, then back at Scarlet. She wouldn't let her mother's sacrifices go unnoticed—she wouldn't let this monster tear apart her family.

Gathering her resolve, Icemoon stepped forward, claws steady and magic crackling around her. "You'll pay for what you've done to her!" she shouted, fierce determination glimmering in her eyes.

Scarlet waved her wing dismissively, though her expression hardened with contempt. "You're just a child playing a dangerous game. You have no idea what you're up against."

But Icemoon stood firm, drawing on the strength of her lineage, the power coursing through her veins. "I may be young, but I know right from wrong. You will not win this battle, Scarlett!"

Dustcollector looked at her daughter—an unexpected spark of hope igniting in her heart. "Together, we can fight," she stated, attempting to rally despite the pain. "We won't back down. You'll face the consequences."

Scarlet, realizing just how determined the two were to protect one another, snarled, excitement bubbling beneath her rage. "Then let's make this interesting," she taunted, preparing herself for the inevitable clash, her wings ruffling in anticipation for the chaos to unfold.

The stage was set for an epic confrontation—loyalties tested and bonds forged in the fire of battle, where the outcome would dictate not just their fates, but the ever-turbulent course of their tribes.

IceMoon, the majestic dragoness with shimmering silver scales that reflected the moonlight, leaped gracefully into the air, her movements fluid and precise. Beside her, her mother, a formidable dragon of ancient lineage, joined the aerial dance, their powerful wings beating in perfect synchronization. As they soared towards Scarlet, the imposing NightWing, their wings created a whirlwind of motion and sound.

With a swift and calculated move, the massive NightWing queen whipped Scarlet, the SkyWing monarch, onto her back, exposing her vulnerable underbelly to the night sky. Scarlet's enraged eyes glowed with fury, her scales pulsating with a deep crimson hue that matched the intensity of her emotions. "You dare to challenge me, to threaten my very essence?" she bellowed, her voice reverberating through the night.

IceMoon, though brave and fierce in her own right, felt a shiver of fear run down her spine as Scarlet's razor-sharp claws glinted menacingly in the moonlight. With a sudden lunge, Scarlet aimed her deadly claws at IceMoon, who instinctively recoiled, but not before feeling a searing pain as her ear was savagely torn to shreds by the queen's ferocious attack. The metallic tang of blood filled the air, mingling with the scent of ozone and dragonfire.

In that moment of chaos and violence, the clash of titanic forces, the primal struggle for dominance, played out against the backdrop of the starlit sky. IceMoon's heart pounded in her chest, her senses on high alert as she braced herself for the next move in this deadly dance of dragons.

Scarlet bared her teeth, her eyes blazing with fury. "I won't stop ripping off your pathetic wings. I will kill you!" she snarled, her voice dripping with venom.

In one fluid motion, she was back on her feet, her wings trembling with barely contained rage. DustCollector breathed heavily, her body trembling from the pain. Blood dripped steadily onto the sand from the deep gashes in her side, her wounds throbbing with agony.

Nearby, Icemoon stood tall, towering over her mother with a cold, steely gaze. A sharp talon pressed firmly against her mother's ear, a silent but powerful threat.

Clay, who had been watching the scene unfold, finally broke the tense silence. "Why are we doing this?" he croaked, his voice hoarse with desperation. "We don't need to hurt each other like this."

Icemoon glanced at him, a fleeting warmth in her eyes. "Just leave, Clay. This fight is between us," she said softly, her voice carrying a mix of sorrow and determination.

Clay blinked, taken aback for a moment. But then, frustration flickered across his face as he bared his fangs. "Not this again!" he growled, the weight of their endless conflicts pressing down on him.

DustCollector let out a sharp gasp, her body spasming as waves of pain and unwanted pleasure coursed through her. She crumpled to the ground, unable to hold herself up any longer. Scarlet's laugh rang out, sharp and mocking.

"Look at you," Scarlet taunted, her voice dripping with cruelty. "You're so weak, you can't even handle the simplest touch. You couldn't even take Thunderwind's cock—just like I said, you're worthless."

Scarlet's words cut deep, the humiliation mixing with the agony as DustCollector lay there, trembling.

"Mom," Icemoon gasped, her voice trembling as she cradled her mother's massive head in her arms. She stared in horror at the blood pooling beneath her, her mother's body motionless, her eyes rolling back as her head went limp.

Scarlet prowled closer, a twisted grin on her face. "Now it's your turn, slut," she growled, her voice low and menacing.

Scarlet's claws dug into Icemoon's shoulders, the sharp talons curling painfully into her flesh as she dragged her away from her fallen mother. The giant NightWing's head slumped lifelessly to the ground with a dull thud. Scarlet twisted around to face Icemoon, her eyes gleaming with a twisted delight.

"You'll make such a fine slave," Scarlet hissed, her voice dripping with cruel anticipation. "A pleasure slave, at that." Without warning, she jabbed her tongue into Icemoon's most sensitive spot, and the dragoness roared in agony, her body writhing in pain and helplessness under Scarlet's assault.'

"Let Icemoon go!" a voice thundered through the chaos. A blur of brown shot past Icemoon's vision, and suddenly, Scarlet was knocked aside by a powerful tail. She roared in fury as she tumbled across the ground.

Clay stood protectively in front of Icemoon, his muscles tense as he faced Scarlet. Icemoon slid to the ground, trembling, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she tried to steady herself.

Scarlet spat out a glob of blood, sneering with stained teeth at the MudWing. "You stupid dragonet," she hissed, her voice dripping with contempt. "Can't you see she's ripe for the taking? Come on, boy. I know you've wanted her your whole life." Her words slithered out, laced with dark temptation, as she tried to twist Clay's resolve.

"I agree, I've wanted her," Clay admitted, his teeth bared in a fierce snarl. His gaze remained locked on Scarlet, unyielding. "But not like this. I will never let her pleasure be used as a weapon," he growled, standing firm between Scarlet and Icemoon, his voice filled with both defiance and protectiveness.

Scarlet spat in disgust and flared her blood-red wings. "Then you don't know how to treat a woman," she sneered before leaping forward. She ducked under Clay's guard, ramming him away from Icemoon with a forceful blow. Whirling around him with swift, calculated movements, she pinned him down before he could react, her speed leaving him stunned.

She sniffed around his cock, a twisted smile spreading across her face. "Good, you're horny. That'll always come in handy." With a sharp thump of her tail, she struck Clay across the head, and he fell limp beneath her.

Scarlet glanced back over her shoulder at the still vulnerable Icemoon. "Take this as a lesson, kid," she hissed, her voice dripping with menace. "Never, ever stand against me unless you want a punishment." With that, she flared her wings and shot off into the sky, carrying Clay in her talons, leaving Icemoon trembling in the sand.
