The group of scavengers yelled and tried to stab me with their little swords. I quickly swiped my tail knocking them all off their feet. Hissing at them, I leaped into the air, beating my wings that are meant more for swimming than flying. I need to get to that meeting. The tribes have called for a meeting in order to deal with the scavengers. They are very powerful, despite them being not even half the size of a full grown dragon. I flew towards the towering mountain in the horizon as fast as I could. Only a few more days until full moon. I remember the words from the scroll that the SeaWings had gotten. We are calling a meeting for all the tribes. Your tribe will elect two representatives. One male another female. The meeting is going to be on the first night of the full meeting is to be in a cave halfway up the north side of Jade Mountain. Two NightWing with the names of Stargazer and Nightkeeper will be standing outside. I sense that this meeting is going to be important, especially if the NightWings called the meeting. The NightWings, with their future telling and mind reading, think that they are better than all the other tribes of Pyrrhia. If they think something is important enough to call all the other tribes, it's probably very important. That's why I think it must have something to do with our scavenger problem.
Two days later, I reached the cave. I landed in front of the two NightWings. "Splash, female representative of the SeaWings," I said. The male NightWing, Nightkeeper, I think his name is, nodded. "You're late," He said gruffly. "Sorry," I muttered. "I ran into some trouble along the way," "Let me guess," The female, Stargazer, said, "Scavengers?" I nodded. "Come in," She said. "The meeting has already started."
We quickly introduced ourselves. The male MudWing is Smudge, the female is Mudslide. The other SeaWing is Azure. The male RainWing is Banana, the female is Emerald. The male SandWing is Arid, the female is Heatwave. The male SkyWing is Ember, the female is Camicazi. The male IceWing is Hail, the female is Crystal. Then there's the two NightWings, then me, the female SeaWing.
"OK," Stargazer said, "We have called you here today to talk about the scavengers." We all nodded. This much wasn't surprising. "What do you propose we do," Emerald asked. "We need some ruler for each tribe, a way to keep us all organized," I said, throwing out my idea. Everyone nodded. "That's a great idea," Azure said. I've only met him once before, but he's definitely made an impression on me. He's smart, nice, and quick thinking. I wasn't surprised to learn that he had been elected.
"A king, or queen of some kind," Smudge said, "At least some kind of monarch. Maybe an emperor, or empress, maybe." Camicazi shrugged. "I like the idea of a queen better." Banana raised an eyebrow. "Queen? I think it would be best if a queen and king ruled together." I had an idea. "How about," I said, "The queen is the ruler, and her daughters, nieces, or sisters become the next queen, but when the queen marries, her and her husband rule alongside each other."
Everyone in the room nodded in agreement. "What about territories? What's the point of having a queen if there is no place for the tribes to settle down?" Heatwave asked. Arid nodded, "She has a point." "Yes, we will deal with that," Nightkeeper said, "But first, who will be the queens of the tribes?"
"Maybe all the females in this room at the moment?" Mudslide suggested. "Yes," Ember agreed, "If you have been elected for this urgent meeting, your tribes must like you a lot." "So it's settled," Crystal said, "But what about territories?" "We should do it now," Hail agreed.
So we mapped out the territories. The IceWings were to get the far north, the head of the dragon-shaped continent. Their border to the south was the rocky hills that separated the desert from the tundra. The SkyWings were to get the wing of the continent. the border to the west is the Five Tongue river, a river that splits to five smaller rivers. The border to the south would be the small pathway through the mountains. The borders to the east would be the northern part of the Diamond Spray Delta. The SandWings were to get what was the chest and front legs of the continent. The border to the north was the the IceWing's territory. The border to the east is the southernmost part of the Five Tongue river and the northernmost part of the Jade Ranges. The NightWings were to get the area in the very center of the continent. The borders to the north is the SkyWings, to the south and west is the SandWing territories. To the east is the Jade river, a river that flows from The ocean through the valleys of the Jade Ranges. The RainWings get the rain forest, the area that's the most southeast on the continent. The borders to the north are the swamps, and the border to the west is the Jade River and the NightWing territory. MudWings get the swamps and marshes north of the rain forest. The border to the south is the RainWing territory, the border to the north is the Bay of a Thousand Scales. the border to the west is the Jade River. Lastly, the SeaWings get the small amount of land that is the tail of the continent. Most of our territory consists of water, because we prefer to live underwater. Our territory is the tail, and the Bay of a Thousand Scales.
After the meeting, Azure and I made our separate ways, each of us with a scroll with the idea and a map of the new territories. The plan was to gather the two major groups of SeaWings and take them to our new land. We just need to hope that the smaller camps of SeaWings follow. Once we reach our territory, we will start building up our government.
In exactly one moon cycle, the fourteen dragons who were at the meeting will meet back at the same spot to report what had happened.
Let's just hope this goes well.
