Thank you for leaving reviews and answering my poll! The poll decides that it will be held at Jade Mountain. Thanks for helping me start this story off with some great truth or dares! Warrior cat fans will recognize one of the first few paragraphs to be about someone in particular. Special shout out to FreeEcho for helping this story start! So, I bet that you are very excited to read about all the fun truths and dares, so let's get straight to it!
Note: The usernames of the people who truth or dared a dragon will be in bold.
"Hey everyone! Glad you could make it!" The Nightwings and Seawings started pouring into the giant stone clearing on top of Jade Mountain made for them by the animus dragons. Ice cold to the touch, yet soothing as my feet tingled. Oh my gosh! This is finally happening! The other Nightwings gave me weird looks as they made their way to sit down with the Nightwing tribe. It was early in the morning here and the sun reached just far enough so the dragons could see.
"Thanks for having us." Tsunami walked over to me and followed my gaze. She twisted her head to look at Darkstalker. What will happen if Peacemaker finds out? I didn't even have to listen that hard to find it out.
"Nonsense! He'll be fine." I soothed. Tsunami was surprised, then looked at the same silver tear drop scales next to my eyes that signal I am a mind reader. I hope someone dares me to not be blind anymore…And Raven! I know that you are reading my mind! I was taken aback. How did he know?
"I'm not as blind as you think. I got that line from one of my favourite scrolls. It is about these cat things and one is called Jayfeather who is blind. I know what everyone's doing if they are within ear-shot." It was hard not to look impressed at Starflight. He had really learnt a lot from this Jayfeather guy.
"Couldn't you have chosen a different time?" Darkstalker grumbled as he stomped into the clearing and sat down with a huff. Turtle's eyes widened as he saw Darkstalker and sprinted to the other side of the clearing where his sisters, Anemone, Tsunami and Auklet sat, tail lashing in terror. Darkstalker took no notice and murmured under his breath to use his animus magic to widen the platform so more dragons could come.
"I think that it is a great time to be up! Ooh ooh ooh ooooh! Darkstalker! Look at that brilliant sunrise! It's the most azure thing!" There was no doubt that the voice belonged to Whiteout. I looked around at the dragons and noticed that they were all sitting far away from Darkstalker.
"Oh come on! Do I smell bad or something?" Darkstalker glanced around. Seriously! Why doesn't anyone here like me? I heard his thought as clear as day.
"Hey! Don't be sad! I still like you." I shyly walked up to Darkstalker. The flapping of wings sounded in the distance. Every dragon turned his or her head to see a white and brown blur. I am so not looking forward to this Raven heard Prince Winter's thoughts drifting around his mind.
"Hey! Race you!" Queen Glory of the Rainwings and Nightwings blinked into existence where they were following the Mudwings and Icewings. The Icewings, Mudwings and Rainwings were all racing against one another.
"Don't forget us!" The Skywings swooped in from the clouds, giant wings beating in the night chilled air. Oh! There's Clay! Oh no, he's staring at me again! Peril blushed and several dragons nearly crashed into her.
"Hey!"
"Watch it!"
"Look out!"
"Ow!"
"Peril! Are you just going to hover there?"
"You are burning us!"
"I don't mind being next to her." Clay had flown up to her and they brushed wing tips. Clay wasn't burnt because he had fire-proof scales.
"Yeah of course you don't!" One dragon snorted, "You have fire-proof scales!"
"Sorry everyone!" Peril guiltily looked around at the scorched dragons.
"Hey! You guys going to take any longer?" I yelled. Everyone was chatting to one another softly. I decided not to try and read anyone's minds. The Skywings won the race fair and square, Rainwings second, Icewings third and Mudwings fourth. Darkstalker was murmuring again, transforming the floor into plush carpets and cushions for the dragons to lie on. The other animus dragons helped.
I'm so excited!
Oh my dragonets!
This is going to be so cool!
I think that I'm going to regret this later.
Raven I can read your mind as well you can read mine!
I caught Moonwatcher staring at me.
You know, you could be sneakier about it, Moon.
Moon started walking up to me. She nodded her head at the mind reading dragons from the past and rolled her eyes as Darkstalker nodded too. Then, she froze and whipped around to see Clearsight landing onto the platform. Every dragon stopped talking for a few seconds, plunging the clearing into silence. As soon as it started, the all of the dragons from the past started welcoming her. The dragons after Clearsight's time thought What the heck is going on?
"Clearsight! Oh we have missed you!"
"Did you fly all the way back from Pantala?"
"My sweet Clearsight." Darkstalker heaved himself up and walked to Clearsight, wings brushing together.
"When you are finished welcoming, can we get this thing started so it can finish easier?" Prince Winter muttered under his breath. Darkstalker turned on him, eyes narrowing in fury.
"You want to repeat that, Winter?" The giant stone platform trembled under his weight. Darkstalker leaned down so that their eyes met.
"Firstly, it's Prince Winter. And secondly, you can't use your animus magic to hurt me because I'm a Prince." Winter retorted, turning his back on Darkstalker.
"You want a bet?" By now, all eyes turned to Winter and Darkstalker. I swiftly walked up to them.
"Hey hey! You can use your animus magic on Prince Winter it you really want to." Smugly, I left the center of the clearing and flew to the edge of the giant stone slab. Prince Winter looked horrified! The Icewings all breathed in sharply to summon their Frostbreath, but didn't have time because Darkstalker had gleefully yelled the first spell.
"Rocks! Surround Prince Winter!" Nothing happened. Darkstalker repeated the spell a number of times. I decided to try and read Darkstalker's mind, but it was blank. No thoughts from anyone's mind drifted to me. Moon started looking at me and the other mind readers and future seers did that too.
"And that brings us to our first dare by KrazyKube! No animus magic, mind reading or future seeing until sundown!" I yelled over Darkstalker's furiousness. He stomped over to Whiteout, cursing as he went. Prince Winter proudly trotted over to the other Icewings as they and the other dragon tribes were laughing at the Nightwings.
"Oh no you don't! Come here Prince Winter! I have a dare for you!" I hollered across the clearing. It was going to be a miracle if I don't lose my voice from yelling. The smug look on Prince Winter's face turned to a look of uttermost horror as I whispered his dare to him.
"No no no! I can't do that!" He blushed scarlet, a rare look for an Icewing, and stumbled with me over to Darkstalker yet again.
"Well, those are the rules. You can't ignore a truth or dare. Especially one created by FreeEcho." Prince Winter was terrified! "Oh don't worry, you'll be fine. Darkstalker can't use his animus magic to hurt you." I tried to encourage him, but I guess it didn't work. Darkstalker was sharpening his claws on the stone next to him, one of the only pieces of stone to be shown through the mass of carpets and rugs. Sighing, Darkstalker hoisted himself up into the air, shaking his huge wings and nearly knocking Whiteout, Foeslayer, Prince Arctic, Clearsight and I in the process. The other dragons were whispering in excitement, what was going to happen?
"What is it?" Darkstalker asked gruffly, deep growl making the mountain tremble. He rose to his feet and looked me in the eye. Prince Winter stood tall at my side, trying not to quiver. Although I couldn't read Winter's mind, it probably said This is the most embarrassing thing I have ever done in my whole life!
"I love you so much, my dear Darkstalker. I have never noticed how your scales shine. You are the reason I am here today, speaking with you and loving you. This heart of ice will melt your heart, and probably melt itself-" Winter took a sharp intake of breath and blew Frostbreath onto a black pillow. He drew a heart of ice and picked it up, "Take this, my beloved Darkstalker, and put it on your bed at night."
The Icewings were howling with laughter, as were the Nightwings. Winter forced the last few words out of his mouth and then tripped on a rub and tumbled off of Jade Mountain and dropped a long way into a pool of water. He flew up, soaked to the scales, and rejoined his tribe which were jeering and teasing him. His sister, Princess Icicle, burst out laughing whilst mocking what he said.
"Alright, alright! Enough! Prince Winter did what he had to do and that's that!" Darkstalker was defending Winter? How absurd! But that's that anyways. Darkstalker is full of surprises. The Icewings fell silent. Everyone was staring at Darkstalker. Whiteout came to stand beside her brother.
"Darkstalker may be the dark shadow that covers up all light, but to some, he is azure on the inside." Whiteout really did love her brother, "Also, the wings of sand are blowing like a storm on an azure day." She pointed her tail to describe what she was saying. The Sandwings were finally arriving and the sky was lighter already. The 'storm' was on its way.
"Queen Thorn! What happened? Is everyone alright? Why are you late?" I asked a flurry of questions. The Sandwings landed in the center of the clearing. Most of the Sandwings went to their side of the giant stone slab whilst Queen Thorn, Princess Sunny, Qibli and Queen Thorn's generals stayed to talk to me.
"Sorry we're late. A giant sinkhole opened up in the Scorpion Den and we had to fix it. We tried to send an animus-touched note to fly up here, but for some reason it didn't work. I figured that you had something to do with it." Queen Thorn explained to me as Tsunami, Starflight, Clay and Glory flew up to Sunny. Queen Thorn just kept jabbering on, so I listened to the Dragonets of Destiny instead.
"Hi! Was there a dare about animus magic? How many dares have been announced?" Sunny asked. Tsunami and Clay stifled a laugh and Glory giggled. It was Starflight that answered.
"Yes, someone dared everyone that has animus magic, mind reading and future seeing to be unable to use their powers. There have been some interesting dares so far." Starflight looked over to Prince Winter and I saw him whisper something into Sunny's ear.
"No way! Did he really?! Oh My Dragonets!" Sunny was laughing too. Queen Thorn had finally finished her long lecture about her saving an egg from falling into the depths of the sinkhole and followed my gaze to the Dragonets of Destiny.
"My little Sunny is growing up! I just wish I was there when she hatched and when she was little so I could teach her the ways of a Sandwing. Sunny is a great name, don't you think?" Queen Thorn questioned, turning her black gaze searing into my purple, expecting a good answer.
"Well, it certainly matches her personality." I replied, looking at how cheerful she was with her friends. By now, Qibli's friendship group had raced over, all except for Winter, who slowly stomped over, still embarrassed at the fact that he'd been dared. They started chattering away and strode over to their spot on the rugs. Peril seemed to like hanging around them, even though they were younger than her. The Dragonets of Destiny strolled over as well, next to Moon, Turtle, Qibli, Peril and Winter.
"Glory! Glory! Can I sit with you pretty pretty please!" Peacemaker had dawdled over to the Dragonets of Destiny. He looked up at Queen Glory with his gorgeous blue eyes and sat down in front of her.
"Yes! Of course Peacemaker! Come and sit beside me." Peacemaker tried to sit like a king would next to Queen Glory, but toppled over and accidentally stepped on her tail. Queen Glory took no notice and decided to let him sit on her tail. During this whole scenario, I noticed that Darkstalker was staring at Peacemaker, brain unable to process the fact that he was staring at himself in 'nice' form.
"You know, little Peacemaker is cute! His azure gaze is just so cute!" Whiteout was trying to comfort her brother. Queen Thorn said goodbye and joined her fellow Sandwings whilst I joined the Nightwings.
"Well everyone," I raised my voice so it would be heard, "Who's ready for more dares…."
