Chapter Fifteen: Fatebringer
Fatebringer woke up to the sound of Copper yelling, "Guys, wake up, we need to track the DeathWing!"
Fatebringer opened his eyes and saw Copper standing over him.
Oh, so that's why it was so loud.
"Can't we at least have breakfast first?" Fatebringer asked, still half asleep.
I don't want to leave this bed, it's so nice and cozy, Fatebringer thought.
"No!" Copper replied, and then shook Fatebringer awake.
"What have I done wrong to deserve this?" Fatebringer whined as Copper pushed him.
"Where's Lavender?" Fatebringer asked.
"Probably still in bed, but I think my yelling might have woken her up too," Copper said.
"Yup, that's right Copper, thanks very much," Lavender yelled sarcastically from the room across the hall.
"Well, at least someone's awake," Copper said, as he started walking towards the door to the Scorpion Den.
"Wait up!" Fatebringer yelled as he sneakily ate a cow from the kitchen.
He then flew out the door, followed by Lavender.
"Ok guys, so which kingdom do we go to first?" Fatebringer asked.
"Either the Rain Kingdom or the Ice Kingdom, but I think I saw him fly off north, and the RainWings won't let me into their kingdom anyway," Lavender said.
"Ok, let's go to the Ice Kingdom," Copper said.
They started flying off north, towards the Ice Kingdom.
"Wait, guys, shouldn't we bring something warm if we're heading to the Ice Kingdom?" Fatebringer asked.
"Yup, that's a good idea," Copper said, and they all quickly flew back to the Scorpion den.
After bringing warm items, they flew off towards the Ice Kingdom again.
"Okay, so guys, what should we do when we find the DeathWing?" Copper asked.
"Attack him, duh," Lavender said.
"No, I mean like how should we attack him?" Copper said.
"We could get him from the back, like we did the first time, I guess," Fatebringer said.
"Can't we gather allies though?" Lavender asked.
"Good idea, we should do that, but not now," Fatebringer said.
"Well, actually, I guess we could," Copper said, as he headed towards the Leaf Kingdom.
"One of you guys should go to Queen Fennec, the other should go to Queen Stag, and I'll go to Queen Acacia and we should all meet back here at sundown," Copper said.
"Fine, I'll go to the Queen Stag," Fatebringer said, as he flew off southeast towards the Beetle Kingdom and the queen of the BeetleWings.
What would I do if The Deathwing actually got all the stones and ruled the world? What if-
"OOF!" Fatebringer thoughts were interrupted as he crashed into a silk webbing.
"Why do I see rainbows?" Fatebringer asked.
"We are not rainbows, we are the BeetleWings. Explain yourself, NightWing," a voice said.
Fatebringer stood up and found himself staring right into Queen Stag's eyes.
"Okay. So I'm Fatebringer, the best seer the NightWings have ever known and I have come to request your help to fight against the DeathWing," he said.
"How do we know you are not allied with him?" the queen questioned.
"Uh, erm, why would I-" Fatebringer mumbled.
"You will stay in prison until I can fully trust you. GUARDS! Take him away!" Queen Stag yelled as she turned to walk away.
"Wait-" Fatebringer started as he got knocked out by one of the guards.
"AHHH!" Fatebringer screamed, as he got a vision.
The DeathWing appeared in front of him. "Arghhhhhhh" Fatebringer screamed as he tried to move back. But, he couldn't move, he felt as if someone animus cursed him to stick to the floor. "Hahahaha!" the DeathWing slowly approached Fatebringer. "Fighting me will only make it harder for yourself. So, just yield to me and it'll make life a lot easier for you, your friends and me. Or I will make you yield to me." the DeathWing said. "Oh, looks like it's time to go. It'll be a nice, cold homecoming for me. HAHAHAHAHA!" the DeathWing said as he disappeared. "AHHHHHHH!" Fatebringer screamed as rocks collapsed on him. "Are you okay?" a voice asked.
"Are you OKAY?" The voice screamed.
Fatebringer sat up and found out he was in a silk wrapping.
"What happened? Did you get a vision?" A BeetleWing asked.
"Uh, sort of?" Fatebringer replied.
"Anyways can you just release me?" Fatebringer replied.
"No, It's the queen's orders. Unless you have evidence to prove you are not with the DeathWing." The BeetleWing replied.
"Okay, here's my proof then," Fatebringer said as he pulled out the Prophecy Stone.
"And, why is this important?" the BeetleWing questioned.
"Because if I was on his side, he would have already taken it," Fatebringer calmly said.
"Alright, NightWing, I'll report it to the queen. Where do we go?" the BeetleWing asked.
"To Scorpion Den. Well, actually, only the dragons that want to go. The rest should stay here and wait for us to notify them," Fatebringer said.
"Where is the Scorpion Den?" the BeetleWing asked again.
"Release me and you will find out," Fatebringer replied.
The BeetleWing hurried out of the chamber. A few moments later the queen and a few of the guards came in to release Fatebringer.
"Now, on to your side of the promise," Queen Stag said.
"Of course, just follow me," Fatebringer said.
As they walked down the hallways of the Beetle Kingdom's palace he could see the amazing silk bridges that connected the towers in the kingdom below. He was looking down from the great viewpoint as he almost fell off the entrance of the palace.
"Whoa, phew! That was close! Now just follow me," Fatebringer said as he flew northwest towards The Scorpion Den with Queen Stag and the BeetleWing Army alongside him.
He saw Lavender and Copper in the distance, along with armies of LeafWings, SandWings, and NightWings. The sight of his friends made him fly faster, and finally they landed right next to them.
"What took you so long?" Copper asked.
"We had enough time to even get the NightWings on our side!" Lavender said.
"I'll tell you guys later. First, we need to rest in the Scorpion Den," Fatebringer said.
"Very well then. BeetleWings, this way!" Copper said, as they headed into the Scorpion Den.
