The Second Sandwing War of Succession

by Macygracie

The second sandwing war of succession has come. The sandwings are their venom, only one queen can calm them. Two will rule, one will follow. Two will fade, one will stay bright. Only the dragons of darkness can bring the light. Brightsting knows her sisters would be bad queens, and she only joined the war to keep the sandwings safe. But she worries that she made the wrong decision

10. Abrupt ending

For all you people who wanted this to keep going:

Yes, I got enough reviews to keep going, but I haven't got the inspiration. But because you all gave me so much support, I will tell you how I planned to end it.

Lilypad and Atlantic don't want Brightsting to do any actual fighting, but Brightsting disagrees, saying that "If I'm not willing to fight for my throne, no other dragons should fight for it either"

After the war has lasted a few years, Brightsting has a dragonet, Sidewinder, and two eggs of whom Fennec is the father. Atlantic also has a daughter, Sunfish, and it is revealed that she has animus powers. Atlantic wants to use her powers to win the war, similar to Blister. However Brightsting looks at Sunfish's powers, and asks whether she would be willing to use them, and says that it is her choice. A lot of dragons are shocked that Brightsting asked Sunfish's opinion, and Sunfish says that she will do minor enchantments, but nothing big because she doesn't want to lose her soul.

So Opal is the sandwing with a stunted tail, and when her and Brightsting are flying alone in a harsh storm, Brightsting falls away from her, and Opal can't find her. However she does find the other dragons in the prophecy: Duckweed, who tried to steal from Queen Catbird, so she could buy medicine to save her sister, but her sister died because Duckweed was caught. She now sees the other prophecy dragons as her sibs. Fire is a skywing with firescales, who survived when he was thrown off a cliff to be killed. He came back to the sky kingdom and freed Bjorn from the prison, Bjorn being an Icewing baron who was born with only four talons on his front left foot. Pangolin is a blind rainwing, who was blown off course in the storm. He was flying with Truthseer, an albino nightwing given her oddities because she 'sucked the moons' light into her scales'. Apart from Opal, they were all saved from the storm by Trout, a bright green seawing who is hiding from Queen Atlantic because his mother and father worked as a team to assassinate Akoya, but failed. Opal convinces them all to follow Brightsting.

Later, Fennec is killed in battle while Brightsting couldn't fight because she was to close to having another clutch of eggs. Brightsting is crying that the war is causing too much death, and wants to pull out. The prophecy dragons try to convince her not to, but she just doesn't want to fight any more. Then they come up with an idea to end the war.

Brightsting flies to the rainforest kingdom alone, and says to a patrol of rainwings that she wishes to surrender to Mirage, because there is too much death. The rainwings deliver her to Mirage, and Mirage doesn't suspect a thing. Brightsting says that both the kingdoms of Mud and Sea are under her command. Outnumbering them 3 to 1, Mirage's enlarged army defeats and kills Thistle. Later, when Mirage has settled into the throne nicely, Brightsting challenges Mirage for the throne. No one can object, so Brightsting easily kills Mirage, and takes the throne.

I am sorry for this abrupt ending, but I just didn't have the inspiration to keep going
