Chapter Seven
Violets POV:
Violet awoke in a panic and looked around. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was in a Treehouse. The Treehouse was very large with two doors on either side. There were few windows with Sunlight shining in. She looked around for the group and saw that they were beside her. Lavender and Mist were on her left. Drizzle and Sól were to her right. She was wrapped in cobweb but it felt stronger and more smoother than cobweb. She struggled against the Web for a while before hearing footsteps approaching the door. A dragon walked in through the door. They were tall with Dark Grey scales with their wings hovered above their back and their four eyes stared back at her. "Why are you in our forest?". The dragon said coldly. She looked at the dragon before looking at their legs. She noticed that instead of the dragon having four legs it had eight. Four legs on each side. "W-we were journeying to see if we could find something, A-and we did!". She answered the dragon. The dragon looked at her for a moment before walking out of the large room and closed the door. She thought the dragon looked similar in a way but couldn't pinpoint why. She struggled in the string again but this time she used the stingers from her wrists. The stingers went through the web and she moved her wrists around before getting her wrists free. Once her wrists were free she freed her back legs and got up off of the wooden floor. She looked over and saw that Lavender was awake and struggling to get free. She walked over to Lavender and helped her free. "What happened?, Whoa... This is different, how did we get here?". Lavender asked her. "I was wondering the same thing, That dragon must've moved us here, but why?". She told Lavender. "I mean image random dragons coming into your forest and you don't know them, wouldn't you want to question them?". Lavender told her while looking around. She freed the others with her stingers and put the silk in a neat pile in the corner. "When you put it that way it makes sense". She said looking out one of the windows. Outside of the window there were dragons and they were beautiful. They were either Dark Greys with stripes on them or no stripes. Some of them looked to be Brown with hints of other colors. They looked happy and carefree walking around on dried pathways carrying things in brown bags that looked to be made of paper. She looked back at Lavender and saw that Drizzle had woken up along with Mist and Sól. Drizzle looked around and saw her by the window. "Violet you're okay!, Are you hurt?". He asked her. "Of course I'm ok, No I'm not hurt ". She told him. "What about you are you ok?". She asked him. "Yes I'm ok, my limbs are just a bit sore". He answered while stretching. They soon heard talonsteps coming to the door. They all turned to the door. The door had opened slowly. The dragon from earlier stepped in with another dragon. The dragon looked around the room. "What... How did you escape?, I thought you said you tightened it?". The first dragon said. "I-I did". The second dragon said. The first dragon breathed slowly. "How did you all get out of the silk". The first dragon asked. "I... got them out of the Silk with my stingers". The dragon looked at her shocked and confused. How does she have stingers? She doesn't have one on her tail... maybe somewhere else. "The stingers are in my wrists but I don't use them much". She said flexing her wrists revealing her stingers. The dragon moved closer. "Can I see them?". She asked, holding out her talons. She gave the dragon her talon and revealed her stinger. It felt strange having the stingers out. She had discovered the stingers when she was Three. She was flexing her talons and bam!, The stingers appeared. "What can the stingers do?". The dragon asked. "They can release a smoke that puts other dragons to sleep, It's mostly used for surgery or when a dragon gets too aggressive". She told the dragon. "Where is she?". Sól asked from behind her. "Where is who?". The second dragon asked from behind the first. "Where is Sizzle, What did you do with her?". Sól asked the second dragon. "Oh!, you mean the small dragonet that was attached to your chest?, We put her with Tarantulas mom". The second dragon pointed to the one holding her talon. Sól looked at them and his breath quivered. He closed his eyes and breathed. Sizzle is ok. She is with an adult dragon that will take care of her. But where is she? Is she at a house?, A job, I hope the dragon wouldn't take her to their workplace, An Apartment?. It would be bad if they put in the hatchery, if they have one. Sól's Mind rambled on about all the possibilities Sizzle could be. She looked at Sól a bit longer and realized that there were small flames on his back. Lavender looked at him and nudged him. He jumped a bit and the flames on his back went out. Mist looked fascinated by the new dragons and carefully went up to them. "Th-This is cool, how-how did you make thi-this". Mist asked them. "Well when we ran out of room on the ground to make houses we decided that we could try to make them in trees and that's how this happened". Tarantula said putting down her talon. Mist nodded and looked out the window. "Why are-are some o-of the building tall-taller than the oth-others?" Mist asked Tarantula. "Those are the apartments that some dragons live in if they don't have enough scales to buy a house". Tarantula told Mist. Mist nodded and looked back at Tarantula. "Why do-do you ha-have extra arms?, Are th-they a defect?". Mist asked Tarantula. She looked at her arms. "These are a part of every dragon here and if the front arm come off the other leg will will move forward in its place. Both of the front and back arms can spin silk so no need to worry". Tarantula told Mist. Mist looked at Tarantulas arms then to the silk in the corner. Mist was fascinated, Violet was sure that if she had a piece of paper she would be writing everything down. She suddenly realized why these dragons looked so familiar. She realized that these dragons were Seamwings. But why would they go into hiding if there was no one after them anymore?. "Would you like to stay at my house? My mom wouldn't mind?". Tarantula asked them. She saw that Sól was going to say something but stopped himself. Mist happily agreed. Drizzle was agreed but was suspicious. Lavender agreed but was skeptical. They exited the treehouse and the sun hit her eyes. She blinked a bit while letting her eyes adjust. They were on a rope bridge which was stable and it sagged down by two inches. They went across and found themselves on a large platform with leaf curtains. They turned to the left and through some leaf curtains and leaped off the next platform. They swerved through large trees and went around branches. She had almost gotten hit by branches a few times. She had only been hit by small twigs or vines. The group had finally arrived at Tarantulas house. It looked to be a two story house with some windows and some lights coming from the windows. Tarantula opened the door to her house and went in. The group followed after her into the large downstairs. There was a large long rug going from the door to the other side of the house. She looked around and saw that there was a sun dial on the ceiling and the time read 6:35. There was a wall dividing a section of the house. The section was a kitchen with a tiled floor and a marble counter. There was a bag on the counter filled with items like bread, meat and cheese. There was a hallway that lead to a living room with a crimson colored couch and a glass table along with a tall bookshelf in the corner. She looked at the staircase that was to the right of the door. It had a railing that was carved out of wood that was sanded down to make it smooth. The railing had small decorations carved into it. She could see a few of them but the rest were hard to make out. One of them had four symbols: A Sun encased into the Moon, A Volcano, Feathers and a Black Widow. The next symbol showed The Volcano next to some trees, the trees looked to have Lava on them but it showed the Black Widow going into some more trees. After that was a scene of the Feather and The Eclipse going away from the Volcano. She didn't know what the symbols meant and why it was on a railing. "When is your mom coming home?". Lavender asked Tarantula. "She usually comes home at nine and sleeps after that, she works as a Librarian". Tarantula told Lavender as she went up the stairs. Violet, Drizzle, Mist and Sól followed her up the stairs into a small hallway with two rooms on each side. Both of them had labels on them that read Tarantula and Weavers' room The other read Acids room. "This is my room but we have spare rooms in case my friends came over". Tarantula said to the group. A dragon came out of the room labeled Acid.
They were a nice Gray color with Light Gray on their wings. They had patches of Dark Green and Red. Their eyes were a Light Blue while the lower eyes were a more Darker Blue. They had stripes on the edges of their wings and legs. She noticed that the dragon had small bags under their eyes but they looked happy. "Oh, Mom, aren't you supposed to be at work?". Tarantula asked Acid. "I told my Boss about the dragonet so they let me have some time off, I can't always be at work!". Acid said to Tarantula. Acid looked over at the group and smiled. "I see you have brought some friends over, You usually have Cobweb over the most and you look after Weaver together". Tarantula's face flushed in embarrassment. "Mom!, I told you not to talk about that". Tarantula mumbled. "Would any of you like something to eat or drink?, Or would you like to rest first?". Acid said to them. These are some nice dragonets, I wonder why Tarantula brought them here. She would usually be all nervous and wouldn't talk to them. Then again she doesn't get out of the house much unless she's at the library with me or flying around. Acid thought while closing the door behind her. "W-we would like to stay... Here". Sól said looking nervously at Acids door. Acid looked at Sól and down the hallway to another room. "I can assure you that I am taking good care of your dragonet, even though she is quite the handful". Acid said to Sól looking at him. It's ok I can trust her now, She taking good care of Sizzle. She even took work off to take care of her. She is being taken care of and nothing bad will happen. Sól thought while walking into the room down the hall. The room was by Tarantulas room and it had nice Olive Green walls with two hammocks hanging from the walls. In the corner there were three large cushions that looked to be a bit dusty. "I hope you don't mind... The room hasn't been used yet..... But it will be soon". Tarantula said to the group as she walked out of the door. The door closed softly and they were left in silence. Drizzle went to one of the hammocks and crawled inside. Sól went to one of the three large cushions and took it out from the corner. He slowly walked to another spot, which was by the window and laid down. Violet grabbed one of the cushions and went near the middle of the two hammocks. "Good night Violet". Drizzle said from his hammock. "Good night Drizzle". She said as she laid down to rest. She closed her eyes and went to sleep. She awoke and was on a patch of grass, She was outside. She immediately felt nauseous and wanted to pass out. She looked down at the ground and then up at the sky. When she looked up she saw that the sky had no clouds, only stars and the two moons. She looked down and saw that there were Three dragons. The one in the middle was a Dark Blueish-Purple dragon who had some sort of webbing on their head that went down to their tail. The webbing seemed to flow outwards and into nowhere. They had four wings and the webbing also flowed outwards. The dragon to the left was a Dark Purple, It was so dark it looked Black. They looked the same as the first one but there seemed to be a few scars on them. The one to the right was a Purple color. They had glasses on with a missing horn on their left. They opened their eyes and spoke. "When you look to the sky the clouds will part, When the sky falls it will be dark, The stars will rise and bring the light, Will you be able to end the fight?". They told her, Their voices echoing around her. "W-What do you mean?". She asked then as she got up. "When the sun and moon rise at once, The bonfire will soon die down, If you see the Evil, You might drown". They said again speaking in sync. She realized they had been speaking in rhymes. They had sounded like prophecy's. But there couldn't be another one already?, could there?. "I-I don't understand?, What do you mean?". Violet asked them. They looked at her and smiled. The ground below her crumbled away and she was left in darkness. Her breathing was heavy and shallow. She was scared.
She looked down and saw that she was alone. Except for the dragon that she called Void dragon. She looked around and saw that she was in the place The she called the Void. "Are you alright Dear?". Void dragon asked her. "I-I don't know". She answered, her breath still shaky. The Void dragon walked over to her. "It is alright you don't need to worry about that yet". Void dragon said, comforting her. She wondered if the Void dragon was real or if she was just a dragon traveling through dreams. "Was it another prophecy?". She asked Void dragon. Void dragon backed away. "Sort of..... They sometimes appear in other dragons and say nonsense but this time I don't think it was". She told Violet. So the dragon in her dreams told her another prophecy. But how was there another prophecy when she was trying to stop some unknown conflict. She didn't know how she would stop the conflict. She didn't even know who the conflict was about. She knew it wasn't the Moltenwings and Featherwings because the conflict was solved so what other conflict was there. She sat and wondered what the other conflict was while thinking. She realized the symbols on the staircase must've meant something. She remembered the Black Widow going into the trees while there was Lava on them, that must've been the conflict and why the Seamwings were so scared to return. They were afraid of the Moltenwings taking their trees again. She bolted upright and found herself on the nice polished wooden floor of the room that she had slept in. The cushion that she was laying on was a nice light orange with an even lighter orange on the bottom. She found that Mist was awake along with Sól who was looking out the window. "G-good morning, Vi-Violet!". Mist said from her hammock. Violet got up from her cushion and stretched her legs. Her body was a bit sore from sleeping on the cushion. "Good morning Mist". She said to Mist. Sól looked away from the window and stared for a bit. "Good morning Violet". He grumbled while walking towards the door. He opened the door slowly and closed it behind him while grumbling some other things on the way out. She looked outside and saw that some dragons were looking at the sky and some were shaking their heads. Why were they looking at the sky and what was so important about it. Some of them were carrying bags of logs and what looked to be jars of silk but on fire. She wondered why dragons were bringing stuff home if nothing was happening. To her it seemed like they had a special event that was happening that her group didn't know about. A sound behind her startled her out of her thoughts. It was Drizzle who had woken up and climbed out of his hammock. He stretched his limbs and yawned while walking over to Violet. "Why were you looking out the window?, did something happen?". He asked while looking behind her out the window. He slowly walked over to the window and looked outside. His eyes went wide and he looked back at her. He looked as if he saw a bunch of scavengers on the ground. "Do you know what's happening?, Is there a secret party or something we do t know about?". Drizzle asked looking at her. She looked at him and back out the window. Some of the dragons seemed to be rushing and most of them looked nervous. Most of them were speed walking to their house, some of them were running. She was also curious as to what was happening. "No, I don't know what's happening, we should ask Tarantula or her mom if they know what's happening". She told him while looking towards the door. She looked back to see him quietly waking up Lavender from her cushion. She smiled. She liked that about him, his strange kindness, his good nature and his will to defend other dragons even if they did a simple act of kindness for him. She looked back at the door and heard talonsteps. She peaked out of the door and saw Tarantula coming towards the room. "Oh, you're awake, my mom wanted me to tell you to come down for breakfast". She said while looking towards the door and back at the stairs. She looked behind Tarantula and saw that the room labeled Acid was closed but a light could still be seen from the gap underneath the door. She could hear Lavender groaning from inside the room and Drizzle was helping her out of the hammock. She heard a sudden laughter from downstairs and a small clanking sound afterwards. She started towards the stairs and slowly went down while grabbing the railing. She saw the symbols again and clinched a small bit. She remembered what they meant and stopped looking at the railing. She looked into the kitchen and saw Sól and Mist sat at two of the chairs. She saw that there was a bench on one side and a small chair sat to Acids left. Sizzle was in the small chair and there seemed to be some type of mashed apples in a bowl in front of her with a small wooden spoon. Please tell me that Sizzle won't make a mess... this is a nice house. Sól thought while looking around. She noticed that there was a knife on the now stained marble counter with items on it like a few hollowed out apples, some meat that was burning over a pot and some flattened bread on a pan above another fire. Acid turned around and smiled. "Oh hello!, you must be Violet, Mist told me a lot about the group, I hope you figure out the prophecy". She said turning back to the flattened pieces of bread sitting on a pan. I wonder if they've had pancakes before? Sól seemed nervous around me and Tarantula. I wonder what that's about... Has Sizzle had applesauce before? Oh dear, what if she is allergic to apples?. For the next few minutes Acid kept thinking about wether or not the applesauce was safe for Sizzle. She heard the creaking of the wooden stairs and saw Lavender come down with Drizzle behind her. "Good morning, what are you making for breakfast?". She asked while walking over and sitting next to Sól. Acid turned around and started putting the flat fluffy bread on plates. Violet looked at the plate s as one of the flat breaded cakes was put in front of her. The others looked as confused as she was. Sizzle was being happily spoon fed applesauce and giggled. Acid grabbed some forks and laid them out besides the plates along with some knifes. "Would any of you like anything on your pancakes?". Acid asked the group. Sól looked around. "Do you have any honey?". Sól asked Acid. "I think we do let me check". She said as she went through some cabinets. Each time she closed the cabinets she closed them gently and once she found the honey she carefully gave it to Sól and it was in a nice glass jar. She handed him a spoon and he carefully lifted it into the jar of honey until the spoon was overfilled with it. He took the spoon and drizzled the honey on the pancakes until the first pancake had honey flowing onto the second one. He carefully put the spoon back into the honey jar and Acid carefully took it from him and put it in the sink. "I hope you all enjoy your pancakes. I spent a lot of time on them". She said while sitting down at her own chair and eating her pancakes. The pancakes were good and fluffy. It felt like they were gone in seconds. While Acid collected the plates from everyone she realized she had forgotten to ask what was going on with the dragons outside. "Acid, do you know what's going on with the dragons outside?, Why are they gathering wood and glowing silk?". She asked Acid. Acid looked back at her and opened the curtains to look through the window that was above the sink. She looked at a calendar that was on the wall next to a cabinet. There was something circles but she couldn't tell what it said. "Oh dear, I didn't realize it was that close". She said looking back out the window. How could I lose track of time this quickly? The Moon festival is in two days! Wait isn't that the same day as... oh, oh dear, this is bad. I can't tell them about that..... I'll tell them something else so they don't get caught get scared. Acid looked back at them and sighed. "There is... going to be a big market..... and they are getting prepared for when it gets dark". She told them looked at the sink and then the cabinets. Drizzle thought for a moment then nodded, it seemed he believed her. Sól and Lavender were thinking if they should trust her and Mist was thinking about if she was good enough for the group.
She had gotten up to go upstairs when a white flash came into her vision. There was a cloud in the sky but it didn't move, it stood still staying in place. White flashed in her sight. There was a dragon that had stars on its wings and the dragon also seemed to have more than two wings. White flashed in her vision. The sky was shown but something was wrong, she could tell. White flashed another time. The sky was another color she couldn't tell but it soon turned red. White flashed a final time. The sky was still red but something else had also changed color. The thing that had changed color was the moon. Instead of it being the nice pale blue it was before, it was red, Blood red. With that the vision ended. She blinked and she was in front of the stairs. She held onto the staircase for support. She saw that Drizzle had gotten out of the chair and started towards her. "A-Are you ok?, Did you see something again?". He asked her while coming closer. "I-I'm ok just a... small vision". She told him while going upstairs. She saw that Tarantulas' bedroom door was cracked open by two centimeters and she could hear someone. She went up to the door and heard two dragons talking, one of the voices she knew as Tarantula and the other voice was unknown. She strained her ears to hear what they were saying. "Have you—-F-ured-when...". The second voice said. "I will-Tonight when-sleeping". Tarantula said to the second voice. She snuck away as to not invade their privacy more than she already had. What had they meant by figuring out something and why was it tonight. She had gone back down stairs as she was going to take a walk outside to clear her head from the vision she had. As she was about to open the door to go outside she heard a voice from behind her. "Where do you think you're going?". Acid asked from behind her. "I-I was going to take a walk". She answered while turning around. She saw Drizzle come into the kitchen and stare at the both of them. "May I walk with you?". He asked while walking towards the door. Acid looked at the both of them before sighing. "You can go as long as you're back by sunset". She told them. She smiled and opened the door before walking outside. She walked outside with Drizzle and into the trees.
