The dragonets will come.
When the land is soaked in blood and tears,
Tsunami |
Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue.
Wings of night will come to you.
The largest egg in mountain high
Will bring to you the wings of sky.
For wings of earth, search through the mud
For an egg the color of dragon blood.
And hidden alone from the rival queens
The SandWing egg awaits unseen.
Sunny |
Of three queens who blister and blaze and burn,
Clay |
If she bows to a power stronger and higher,
She'll have the power of wings of fire.
Five eggs to hatch on the brightest night,
Five dragons born to end the fight,
Darkness will rise to bring the night,
The dragonets are coming...
Ever since the death of Queen Oasis, her daughters, Blister, Blaze, and Burn, have fought over the SandWing throne. Then a NightWing utters a prophecy, and everything changes. The eggs are taken, but Burn, suspicious of prophecies, breaks the SkyWing egg. The anti-war effort, the Talons of Peace, take an egg from the RainWings instead. RainWings are prejudiced against because they have no known natural weapons except camouflage and sleep almost all the time. Six years later, Clay the MudWing is very bighearted but not the best fighter against their trainer Kestrel, a SkyWing with strange burn scars. Of his friends, Tsunami the SeaWing is the best fighter, as well as very rebellious. Starflight the NightWing's mind reading and divination powers haven't come yet, but he makes up for it by knowing every piece of knowledge he's ever read. Sunny the SandWing is kind and honest, but her scales are darker than other SandWings, her eyes are too light, and she is missing her barbed tail, a SandWing's greatest natural weapon. Glory the RainWing studies and trains the hardest of them all, but the teachers are still prejudiced against her. One night, Tsunami makes a plan to break them out of the mountain they've always lived in. Clay wants to see the world, but he is worried about their teachers' retaliation. And however mean their teachers might be, they don't want to kill them. That can't be said about the other dragons in the world.
