Burn, Blaze, Smolder, Smoke, and Ash hurried outside.

"Where's Blister?" Ash asked.

"Right here," Blister replied.

Ash turned his head and saw his dead mother.

"Mother!" he cried. He ran up to Queen Oasis and touched her. She didn't move. Then he spotted the tiny sword in one of her eyes.

"Who killed her?" he demanded. Burn and Blaze looked at each other with confused looks on their faces. Smolder and Smoke exchanged worried glances.

"So who's the queen now?" Smolder asked. He turned to Burn, Blister, and Blaze. "Did any of you kill her?"

"No," Burn and Blaze said at the same time.

Blister frowned. "I was just walking by when I heard Queen Oasis roar," she lied.

Then Burn snarled. "I should be the queen. I'm the oldest and the strongest and I could live through every challenger."

Blister turned her dark eyed gaze on Burn. "Who says? I'm the smartest and being smart is more useful than being the oldest and strongest," she hissed.

"Oh no!" Blaze cried. "None of you are going to be queen. I'm the prettiest, the nicest, and the- ." Blister rolled her eyes.

Burn looked at her two younger sisters with a fierce look on her face. "I'm the queen. One of you challenge me."

When none of the sisters responded she snarled, "Now. Otherwise I'll kill both of you."

"How about a war?" Blister asked. Burn and Blaze nodded.

"Wait! Wait!," Smoke looked at Blaze. "You barely even know how to fight."

"We're gonna have alliances," Burn said. She glared at Blister and Blaze. "You two need to get out of here," she hissed. "This is my stronghold now."

Before Blister could say anything, Burn arched her poisonous tail and flung it towards her sisters. Blaze shrieked and ran. Blister followed.

It's too dangerous with Burn taking over.

"Good-bye Smoke, Ash, and Smolder!" Blaze yelled over her shoulder.

Blister lifted to the air and flew towards the SeaWing kingdom. She wanted an alliance with them.

ooo

"Hello Coral," Blister said smoothly.

"It's Queen Coral," a light blue SeaWing snapped. Blister ignored him and looked at Coral.

"Hello Princess Blister."

"It's Queen Blister now," Blister snapped. Then she closed her mouth, regretting what she had just said. But Coral didn't seem to mind.

"Oh? So did you kill your mother?"

"No."

"Then how are you the queen?"

"A scavenger killed my mother and now there is a war over who is going to be the queen."

"Why are you here?"

"Because I want an alliance with the SeaWings."

Coral hesitated. "I really need it," Blister added.

"Ok."

Blister looked at the SeaWing queen with a fake smile on her face. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Coral replied.

ooo

Burn growled. Now her sister had an alliance. She would ally with a tribe too.

Two days later she arrived in the SkyWing kingdom. She requested to talk with Queen Scarlet.

The queen had some jewelry on her flaming red scales. Her yellow eyes blazed.

"Hello," Scarlet growled. "I hope this is something important. I had to leave the arena to come talk to you."

"Oh yes," Burn said. "This is very important."

"Well?"

"I come here to ask for an alliance with the SkyWings. You see, there's er kind of a war going on and I need an army."

"Ok... Sure!"

"Thanks."

Queen Scarlet shrugged. "War is fun anyway and no one will challenge me for years and I'll get more prisonors in my arena."

Burn silently agreed to the "war is fun part."

ooo

Burn knew that to win a war she need lots of alliances so she traveled to the MudWings. She requested to see Queen Moorhen.

A large brown dragon walked towards her and dipped her head. "Hello Princess Burn."

"Hello."

"What is it?"

"I come here to ask for an alliance with the MudWings in the war."

Moorhen hesitated, "Well I don't want my dragons hurt so n-"

"I'll promise you 100 years of protection from me if you ally with me," Burn growled.

"Alright."

ooo

Blaze shivered. Oh why did I ever want to be queen?

A shimmer of white scales shimmered a few feet away. She walked slowly towards it. The dragon turned her head and gazed at Blaze with her ice-blue eyes and tipped her head sideways.

"Greetings Princess Blaze."

"Oh! Hi Queen Glacier. Do you want to ally with-"

Glacier nodded.

"I'll promise you all the land from the southern horizon to here."

"Yes. We can be allies. I'll build you a fort."

Blaze dipped her head gratefully. "Thank you."

ooo

"Let the great war begin!" Commander Falcon howled.
