Seven years later...

Chapter 1

"Again, you fool!" A huge dragon towers over the trembling brightly colored RainWing. She shudders and complacently bows her head screwing up her snout in concentration. "Hurry up Sunrise!" Sunrise's wings rippled, and she suddenly stood up, her snout curved like a SkyWing's and her tail barbed like a SandWing's. She wrinkled her snout again and her body expanded as her shoulders made the cave walls tremble, swinging her massive tail. "Finally, you fool!" Sunrise bared her teeth as she looked down at the dragon. "Nightshade. I've had enough of your games. This has gone on far, far too long. Six years you've kept me in the dark. You teach me nothing but the affairs of outside dragons. You don't tell me anything about what I am. I don't care about the three queens or stupid dragonets. I care about the truth!" Sunrise roared and with each passing moment she grew larger in her anger. "Sunrise? Calm down. That's enough." Nightshade call up to Sunrise as fear steadily grew in his dark eyes. "No. Too many times have I bowed down. Not today." She let out a deafening roar and the cave begin to tremble. Nightshade started to slice his claw against her bright scales, but she slammed his side with her tail. In one quick crack he was still. "N...N... Nightshade?"
