Prologue
Hvitur flew across the open sky as the sun peeked over the hills. He had a SkyWing egg in his claws, and he would raise it in the Talons of Peace. He felt bitter about the Talons, first of all he was the only IceWing, apart from Cirrus, who wasn't really an IceWing at all. He was a lazy and worthless RainWing called Chameleon. So Hvitur was going to smash it, the egg. He was going to drop the egg near the Talons of Peace camp and scratch himself so it looked like he had been in a fight. Then he would throw himself down onto the rocks, and that was when Kestrel would come and see his dead body. He would still be alive though, because of Chameleon's clever spell. He made that every time that Hvitur died, he would be alive again, but as a NightWing animus who can read minds and tell the future. Then when he died as a NightWing, he would become a SandWing animus. When the SandWing died, he would become a MudWing who had all the knowledge about them. And then it would keep on going, and Hvitur would become all the tribes except for a RainWing. Well, he stopped the spell after he was a NightWing for the thirteenth time and after that became a RainWing/NightWing. Then that was the last of the spell.
Hvitur stopped flying and folded his wings so that he dropped silently on the top of a mountain. He looked around to see if Burn was there. She was soft, but had ferocious and loyal followers. Hvitur turned at the sound of talons landing behind him. He was not surprised to see Burn, but was surprised to see five MudWings, five SandWings and five SkyWings landing behind her. "Hvitur of the Talons of Peace. Formerly in First Circle. Formerly of the IceWings. Stand down." Burn said confidently
"Burn," Hvitur hissed, "coming back to admit your apologies? I hope not." His eyes glinted with blood red and sea blue light.
"No." Burn answered, "I've come to save the egg. The Talons of Peace shall not control the Dragonets of Destiny. You cannot have it. Under the order of the Hidden!"
"Wait, the Talons of Peace? I thought they were just legends!" A MudWing soldier interjected.
"No. They're real. I was once part of them." Burn growled, flicking her barbed tail.
"You will not be able to stop me, or destiny. After all, you're too late." Hvitur grinned as he jumped off the cliff, "no SkyWing to help save the world... how about taking away one of the three queens? Then the prophecy will only have Blister and Blaze" He threw the SkyWing egg to the rocks below.
"No!" roared Burn. She dove down and caught the egg. "You will not see the light of day again." She slit Hvitur's throat with her venomous tail and flew back up to her soldiers. "That's one, four to go."

A red dragon walked up to Hvitur's body. She sighed. "Hvitur, you big lump of lizard droppings." She whispered.
She walked up to a cracked egg. She sighed again. He died, but he ended up killing the egg. She took the cracked eggshell and walked up to a cave. The dragon knocked on the rock covering most of the entrance. "I stand with the Talons of Peace" a voice came from inside, "Kestrel, is that you?"
"Of course it's me, Webs. Hvitur's dead." Kestrel growled.
"Oh." Webs sighed.
The rock blocking the entrance moved and a blue dragon was there. "Asha nearly died getting the MudWing egg. She met Blister and Blaze's forces on the way back here. She made it here with the MudWing egg but she needs medical help." Webs sighed.
"Never mind. Now, it's just you, Dune, Asha and I to raise the dragonets. We need all ten to raise them. We need to take cover." Kestrel walked into the cave with Webs behind her. The door closed as Webs shot a hopeful glance at the mountain above them.
