Prologue metallic's eyes gleamed as they slowly regained focus, after 4000 years. His body slowly began to move. Move! He managed to give his tail a flick. His tribe understood. they stood up and flew down to the field their star prison was suspended over. They leaped down on top of a nightwing elder. Metallic's claw slashed ruthlessly through the night onto the nightwing's neck. They needed no witnesses. Starslasher would be dead within a few hours. They left him there to bleed to death, waiting out of sight to find their next victim. *** Mistslicer stalked through the fog, looking for prey. She was a nightwing, on a mission for finding prey in skywing territory, to see if they could continue hunting there. A rambling nightwing elder had gone before her, but not come back. she rolled her eyes at the thought of him. Suddenly she saw a shape through the mist. "no..." She whispered with her throat choked up by the sight she saw in front of her. "no, NO!" she bent her head to starslasher's, her father's, body. Suddenly his eyes few open. "“Seven born on half moon night, seven born to end the fight.” To destroy the force coming to kill, to end the battle on the highest hill. Of the tribes of night, ice, sand, sky, mud, rain and sea, uniting will set you free. To destroy the clashes, brought by star, they will restore peace, near and far,” He rasped. Then he collapsed, dead. Mistslicer stood, stupefied. But she knew what had just happened. It was a prophecy, and she would honor starslasher’s memory, by doing everything in her power to make it come true. Chapter 1 Dragonfruit rolled over in his hammock, relishing the warm midday sun. One of his good friends Iridescent had become queen not long ago, and he was still happy about it. Nothing bad had happened so far to the tribes, and they had already been formed for 400 years. He was in the best one, of course, the rainwings. They could shoot venom out of their teeth, change color to turn almost invisible, and they didn’t eat poor helpless creatures, instead they ate fruit. All of them were happy, especially dragonfruit, because his friend just became queen, and didn’t even have to kill her mother. Instead, vine had retired happily, and she was still well cared for. DragonFruit got up to look for another mango. Instead, he rolled over to find queen iridescent right standing over his hammock. He immediately bowed. “Your majesty,” He said. The queen swatted at him. “Don’t be so formal, Dragonfruit!” She teased. She had been like a sister to him ever since his real sister had died from a dragonbite viper. His mother, Papaya, looked over and smiled at him. He knew what she was thinking. She wanted them to marry so her son would be king. He didn’t know about him and iridescent marrying though. That would be weird. Besides, he was only 4 right now. He could save all that for the future. He playfully shoved her, and she rounded her eyes in mock surprise and anger. “How dare you shove the queen!” And they rolled over in a tussle. His father quetzal had to step over them, with a brief flash of annoyance in his eyes, quickly to be replaced with amusement as the two friends rolled over and over, laughing. Yes. Happy. Dragonfruit got up to get a papaya, which he loved, ironically. He also loved dragonfruit. And mango. And coconut. He actually pretty much loved all food. Suddenly, They heard a crack. Everyone turned around to see someone named breathtaking stagger in. He looked very much in pain, and the healers ran to him in alarm, checking all over. Then, he spoke: "It was...that...." And he pointed to Dragonfruit...or rather, behind dragonfruit. Then he collapsed, and the healers had to carry him to their den. Everyone turned to look at Dragonfruit. "What?" He exclaimed. "Dragonfruit... He pointed to you. You did this to him." His mother whispered softly. Iridescent turned towards him with tears in her eyes. "Why would you do this, Dragonfruit?" "No!" Dragonfruit shouted in horror. "I didn't do anything!". But it made no difference. Iridescent looked at him with nothing but anger in her eyes now. "NO." She said firmly. "Dragonfruit, from now on you are exiled from the rain wings. MOREE COMING SOON
