It has been years since the events of the dragonet, since moon watcher but from the darkness a new tribe has risen.
The wingless dragons known as the Sail Backs ( I had made a drawing of them in the cover image so you can use that it's hard to explain there appearance but they look sorta like Blitzleopards from Evolve)
Territorial they were first sighted in the desert creating there homes out of obsidian rock
they can't breathe fire or fly there only advantage is there skill in stealth and combat along with there poisoned bite and poisoned claws add that with there ability to travel underneath the sand like as if they were swimming at a good speed to as well as being extremely fast on the ground they are a force to be reckoned with.
There was one however that was an outcast never fit in, with a healer for a mother his father had died long ago.
His name given by his mother was Tusk .
ridiculed for not acting like the average over territorial Sail Back he didn't have any friends and only had his mother Eralith for company.
...
It was any normal day for Tusk he had left the safety of the obsidian walls that surrounded the Sail Back settlement and ventured out into the desert to a nearby oasis were he laid there having a drink of water until the sound of beating wings shook him from his thoughts as he glanced to sky seeing the shadow of a dragon he jolted up galloping away then diving into sand the three frill like sails on his back sticking up out of the sand as he burrowed through but talons reached into the sand and grabbed him pulling him out he shook free landing on the ground turning and snapping his jaws menacingly.
a female SandWing about his age was taken back by the show of aggression backing away Tusk had made the sound similar to that of a hyena's laughing sound and took off running.
However he was halted by a much larger SandWing who gave him a glare stepping forward Tusk backed away seeing the other SandWing behind him he sighed in defeat.
Then he came up with one final idea he whirled around multiple times kicking up clouds of sand then took off running then burrowing so he could go faster how ever when he emerged there was another SandWing in front of him who glared at him giving off a faint growl.
then the same female that he saw had snuck up behind the dragon and knocked him out and the other that came running over had readied it tail to strike Tusk burrowed beneath the ground reappearing to its side charging at him head butting him causing the dragon to stumble and roll down a sand dune unconscious.
Tusk turned to the other one who lowered her fighting posture " you know I was trying to help you right? " she said " those where some unsavory dragons that always hanged around that oasis I was trying to warn you " she said Tusk relaxing had looked at her " sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, I'm Tusk " he said
