The new War

=The New War=

After 100 years of peace and silence between the continents, a new war is foreseen. A war with no allies, no bases, nothing. A war where tribes turn on each other, a fight, desperate to win. Each tribe is alone, and there isn't a seen answer. For ten, it was hidden. But now, eight dragonets rise with a solution in mind.

But now everyone want this war to end...

Prologue
Windchill sat in the morning meadow grass, staring at the battlefield. The battle had happened yesterday, and stopped when the SeaWings and IceWings won. But the prairie was still covered in gruesome bodies, red and blue blood, and frostbite and venom everywhere. Insects from LeafWing pouches crawled around, and spears and daggers covered in blood still lay on the ground, twisted in dragons hearts.

She stood up and looked around, trying to see dragons she recognized. She paused at a red and white striped body, lying on the ground. Peppermint, she thought with agony. Peppermint had been the sweetest, kindest dragon she knew. She was the cutest little dragonet- youngest warrior for the IceWings. Peppermint had been so bright and open minded. But she had died her fourth battle.

"This war has to end," Windchill growled to herself. "It doesn't have to," a clear voice said in front of her. She looked up to see a dark LeafWing. She had jungle green scales as dark as the forest floor, with bright red eyes. Around her chest held two swords, and her talons were decorated with implanted with daggers.

"Canopy. Haven't seen you since yesterday," she growled. "Thought you died." Canopy laughed. "You wish." She set herself in a pouncing position. Windchill copied. "It doesn't have to be like this. If the sides came together, we could stop it!"

Canopy half growled, half laughed. "You just want theater sides to forfeit! So you and your selfish tribe can bounce around, bragging!" Windchill shook her head. "I'm not! We could stop the war without a winner! Clover won't ever be hurt!" Canopy hesitated, looking her in the eyes. Clover was her last kin, due to the rest dying in war.

But Canopy smiled and lunged at her, rolling across the blood soaked grass until Windchill sat below her. "When we win, you won't have to worry about Clover," she whispered into her ear, smiling. "Because you won't be there." And with a swift movement, Canopy took Windchill's horns, and twisted them firmly.

Canopy sat up, smiling in satisfaction. "This war isn't over, until it's over," she growled. "And every tribe will bow down to us." She walked off, stretching her large wings out, and bounding into the sky, until she wasn't anything more than a dot, disappearing into a stretch of clouds.

"Well, not everyone," a voice said. The dragonet stood up, limbs aching, and wings sore. She licked the blood off her red and white scales. "I'll avenge you, Windchill," she said. Slowly, she stretched her wings, and flew off to the Ice Kingdom.

Copper
Copper flew through the silent winds, stretching his wings out to glide across the sky.
