The Pyrrhia Prophecy: Part One

by The Anonymouse2

A new prophecy is afoot, the Pyrrhia Prophecy. Seven dragons who will unite to save the queens from a mysterious assassin. A new group, the Prophets, are eager to make this prophecy come true. No matter what. Fourteen dragons, each believing that they and their friends are destined for greatness. Nobody else is suited to the prophecy. Or so they think.

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Aqua

Aqua silently counted to twenty before flying after the dragons. She had to stick close to the ground and the trees, so that she wouldn't be spotted, with her turquoise scales. She kept one eye towards the sky, making sure that she kept them in her sight range. For a while, they flew like this, until finally a blue Icewing issued an order and the dragons veered downwards. Aqua quickly ducked down as well, hiding herself behind a thick set of bushes and watching quietly.

Aqua had been following the dragons for days. Ever since she chanced upon the grove with the seven dragons waiting outside. She had heard some talking about the prophecy, and deduced, both from their appearances and speech, that they were from the Pyrrhia Prophecy. They would travel around the kingdoms, stopping at the Seawing palace, and she would be at home. So she watched and flew after them when they left. They had went to the Icewing kingdom, (far too cold for Aqua's tastes), and then stopped in a clearing, where they had met another group of dragons who also claimed to be from the prophecy. Aqua didn't know what to think of that, but since the other dragons had apparently resolved that matter, she just followed, awaiting the arrival of the Prophecy Dragons in the Seawing kingdom.

A wingless Seawing barked out commands. They split up, as he directed, with slight complaint from the sky blue Icewing. Some went one way, others went another, scouting out the land to ensure that there were no new surprises in store. Aqua cursed in her head. If she was discovered, who knew what those dragons would do with her! Prophecy dragons were supposed to be kind and virtuous, but Aqua didn't trust the goodness of other dragons, or ridiculous prophecy stereotypes. Luckily, they had left the two Rainwings there to scan that section of their resting place. Rainwings weren't the brightest. Although, Aqua scolded herself for still making that assumption. The female was as ditzy and cheerful as a Rainwing could be expected, but the male was much smarter than he let on, so she should probably split. Tucking her powerful tail and wings against her body, she slithered through the bushes, avoiding branches, leaves, and sticks. She only glanced up once, to check what the dragons were doing. She could see the bright yellow dragon disappearing through the underbrush, probably to report to her leader, and it appeared that the male was gone as well. Macadamia and Rhododendron. Aqua recited in her head. The two Rainwings from the prophecy. And thank goodness they had left. Aqua couldn't have stayed down there forever. She may have been a master at sneaking around, but one of the leaves on a prickly bush was starting to tickle her snout. Making a little more noise than she would have liked, Aqua brushed it off with a claw. But the rustling didn't stop there. Even after Aqua had lay her claw back on the grass, noises continued, until she found herself snout to snout with the male Rainwing.
