Ember sits next to her sister in a crowd of many dragons. "Why do we come here every moon fest?" She asks. Flare flicks her with her tail. "Be quiet and wait!” "But we don't even believe in the moon!" Ember moans. Flare turns to her. "I know that, but we need this." "Why?" Ember asks. Flare gives her a stern look. "Don't you listen to anything mother says?" Ember leans back. Then she pauses. "Where is mother?" she asks. Flares stern look fades and she scans the room. She shrugs. "I think she is down the hall. " Ember stretches out her neck so she can see. "Should I check?" she says beginning to stand up. "Be quiet and wait, you baboons!" Flare flicks her head towards King Coal but stays quiet. "Our queen will be out soon." He announces, puffing out his chest. Then a loud bang echoes through the room as Queen Fire and Queen Rock slam the doors open. "Let the Celebration, commence!" They boom out to the crowd. Flare snorts then, stretches her wings, and walks off. King Coal stands up. "Where do you think you're going, missy?" He yells. Flare turns around. "Anywhere but here!" King Coal stretches his wings out. "Come back before I get you're-

"FLARE" Flare spins around to find her mother, one inch away from her snout, with a bitter expression and her wings spread out wide. "WHERE. DO. YOU. THINK. YOU'RE. GOING?" She roared. "Anywhere but here! I don't want to be with a different tribe!" she mutters. "And disrespecting them? I don't think so. " Queen Fire begins to tug on her wing and pull her near the party but flare jumps away from her grip. "I'm not disrespecting them! I'm just… going somewhere else." A loud splash comes from the river that flows through the palace. Queen Wave erupts from the water. "ATTACK!" dragons ram themselves into each other as Flare hisses in relief. Ember slips into a empty room as yowls come from the room next to her. A Wavewing bursts into the room. "Can I hide here? Thanks." "EEK! I'M GOING TO DIE!" Ember yowls. The Wavewing covers her mouth. "Be quiet! If my mother finds out i'm with you, she would kill me!" She yowls. Ember stares at her. Why isn't she attacking me?  The Wavewing looks at her. "You good?" she asks. "Yeah i'm good, i'm just… you know what. Nevermind." Ember squeeks. Flare jumps into the room and leaps onto the Wavewing. "DIE!" she yowls. Ember leaps onto flare and bites her neck. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Ember stares at her. "Stop." "Why?!" Flare questions. Ember leans forward. "stop." Flare was one inch away from her snout. "How should I trust her? She is a Wavewing!" Ember glances at the Wavewing then back at Flare. "Trust me." Flare stared at her for about a minute then answered. "Fine, but if it attacks you, don't go running to me!" Ember nodded then Flare flies away. Ember turns to the Wavewing. "So… um… " She turns to her. "Names Bubble."

Ember turns around. The battle had stopped. She slowly stands up. "Yeah. I should go too. " Bubble whispers.They walk out and go to there queens. Ember hears Queen Wave chanting as she swims away.  "Where were you missy?" Queen Fire growls. Ember hangs her head low. "Cave duty again tomorrow." she mumbles. Ember flies off and thinks to herself… I hope they got Queen Rock, then this would all be over… 

Ember flies into a forest and sits in a tree. She couldn't smell the desert the palace was located. All she could smell was a nearby river, a couple cows, pine trees, and possibly a wolf pack. There was a smell of dragons, but not from a tribe she could identify. “Hello?” she calls out. In a hole under the tree she heard a tired voice. “Hello…” Said the voice. It had a british like accent. “Come out… um... so I can see you!” She stuttered. She could tell the dragon was a big dragon by the size of the hole. “...No… I cunt…” It replied. “Why not?” She leaned forward to see if she could look down the hole. “Danger is above, so I stay down here.” Ember looks up at the sky. “What tribe?” “Can't say either.” The voice replies. “Riverwing? Islandwing? Sunwing?” Ember questions. “What is Islandwing?” the dragon asks puzzled. Ember was confused. “How do you NOT know what an islandwing is? She heard rustling from inside the hole but still searched the sky for other dragons. “Been under for many years. Much has changed. Don't know who is ruler and who is not.” “Queen Rock is Queen of Islandwings.” Ember says. “Are you Islander?” The dragon asks.“No” Ember replies. She hadn't noticed that the dragon had slid it's talons out of the hole. “Then what are you?” He questions. “I'm a… Sunwing.” She stutters. Sunwings. Even the name makes her shiver. “Ah... Hear of this in mountains called bloodthirsty and violent. Are you?” He asks. “No! I would never hurt someone!” She replies. “I agree, battle is bad but protecting is right.” Ember looks out onto the forest. “Then why do you hide?” she questions. He pauses. “Would you protect your family?” Ember looks over to the hole. “Why would I protect them? They all hate me anyway.” She hears clawing at the tree but it was probably on the branch below her. squirrels.  “You are wise for age. This be good and bad.”  “How?” Ember tilts her head. “Wisdom be strange here on mountain of incolcse.” “What a what?” “It a metaphor.” He chuckles. Ember turns around to see a large, green, fluffy dragon behind her. Ember gasps. He flinches. “Is you surprised? Or angry?” “Um… what… erm…” Ember stutters. The dragon wasn't as big as her mother but was quite large. The dragon tilted his head. “Me be erased from history, and content.” He mutters. “What type are you?” Ember investigates him by jumping from branch to branch inspecting. “You could be a forestwing, but you're way too fluffy…” He chuckles. “I'm called a cloudwing.”  Ember tilts her head. Then she begins to laugh. “Don't be so silly! Those died out in the Great War of Queens!” He leans forward. “Then what i'm I?” Ember looked deep into his eyes. They didn't reflect like a forestwing, and they were quite bright. “ A forestwing! You must just want to hide your identity!” He looked at her beginning to edge closer. Ember gasps. “You- You- Are real!” She smiles. She was excited to find out her mother was a lier. Not because she was mean, but to tell her sis she was wrong. “Got to go now…” He says flying off. What now? Ember hears talking so she dives into the center branch of the tree. “You're such a ant brain, Sky!” Ember shuffles near the trunk. He growls. “I smell something…” Ember gulps. “I'm sure you're just overreacting, Ozone.” “Oh no…” Ember whispers. Ozone bares his teeth. “I heard it! Come on out!” He smacks the tree. Ember slowly climbs out of the tree. Sky gasps. “A Sunwing princess!” Ozone glances at Sky. “Let's kill her!” They stalk towards Ember. “Can't we just… Um… be friends?” Ember pushes herself against the tree trunk. Flare dives into the cine. “GET AWAY FROM MY SIS!” She sets Sky of fire and Ember flies off. Sky yowls in pain and Ozone launches himself at Flare. Flare kicks him in the face as she flies off with Ember. “WHAT WERE YOU DOING?! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED! THAT'S CLOUDWING TERRITORY!” Flare screams at her. Ember stares blankly at her. “And you care?" Flare snorts. “Yes I do, It's called tact!” Ember looks up then back at Flare. “Bye.”  She flies off back towards the desert. “COME BACK! WE HAVE TO GO- you know what... Nevermind.” Ember turns around. Why out of all the tribes. “I'm going to the palace. DON'T go back their!You moon loving idiot.” Flare flies off west and Ember flies to a ant farm and sit on a rock. She watches the ants march past. “Why do I haft to be a Sunwing?” She says to herself. Solar lands next to her. “Because we are awesome!” Ember jumps. “ Oh. Hi Solar…” She mutters. “If you want to eat ants, eat then like this.” Solar sticks his talon into the ground and upturns the nest. Ember giggles. “No, like this!” she swings her tail and breaks off the queens nest and eats the queen and her eggs. Solar tilts his head. “Why the eggs? The queen has the flavor!” He grabbed the other queen and plops her into his mouth with a big crunch. Ember grabs the largest egg and hands it to him. “ Try it.” Solar plops it into his mouth then automatically spits it out. “Ew!!! Too much squish! Not enough crunch!” Ember flips the nest to it's side and lots of ants fall out. She searches the pile and finds a pupa. “Try this.” she hands it to him and Solar takes a closer look. “Ok?” He plops it in his mouth. His eyes widen and look like he had landed on a cactus. “HOLY SUNSTARS! WHAT IN THE NAME OF QUEENS IS THAT?!!?” Ember replies. “A… pupa… why?” “It taste like the gods had just sent this down!” He breaths “It's incredible!” Solar continues. “While I would love to eat pupas all day, we need to go back to the palace. Mother wants us.” Ember snorts. “Fine. Come on.” Ember stretches her wings, but gets knocked over as Solar propels himself into the sky. “Race You!” Ember quickly gets up and grabs his tail. She flings him back, launching herself into the sky. “Oi! Cheater!” Solar hits the ground in a thump but quickly gets back up. As Solar gets up, Ember flies near the ground, picks up a bush, and tosses it at him. Solar ducks and zooms past her. Ember growls. Ember suddenly slows down distracting Solar as he flies into the throne room and crashes headfirst into the gold plate wall.
