Soon enough, the sun had retired from it's shift, & in the sky rose the three moons, as well as the many stars that dotted the sky.

Tango was outside, on a perch alone. She enjoyed the peaceful bliss of well...it being quiet, & sometimes wished she could go back to the rain forest to do exactly this. 

In her talons was the crown she had stolen from the sea, & she was fiddling with it. She was sure it had some...importance, but what? She sighed, it was probably just some junk she had found, pretty though.

She extended her wings for a stretch, the moons light catching them with a slight radiance. She then went back inside, it was best she got some rest before her day off tomorrow. 

As she re-entered the Academy's giant entrance cave, she was met with Frostburn & his posse, Leech & some other Leafwing she didn't know.

This again? She thought with slight annoyance, though fear inside of her was slowly building up.

"Tango! So good to see you!" Laughed Frostburn, a smug look on his face. "What's that you got in your claws?" Tango tightened her grip on the crown, it was junk, but it was her junk. This time she would stand up for herself. 

"Eucalyptus, grab it" ordered Frostburn, gesturing to the Leafwing. Tango kept her grip best she could, but Eucalyptus was also strong. 

There was a straight up arm wrestle for about a minute, their voices all echoing in the grand entrance, now deserted with nobody but themselves.

At last, Eucalyptus snatched the thing from Tango, "wait no-!" said Tango, who grit her teeth. She should have used her venom or..something! 

Eucalyptus snickered, "you put up quite the wrestle for this garbage? Why in tarnation would you even-" suddenly the dragon shrieked.

(TW: DEATH, VERY DESCRIPTIVE DEATH. SKIP TO SKIP POINT IF YOU WANT TO AVOID!)

Eucalyptus seemed to be losing air, but the dragon just began to cough, blood splattering on the floor. "Woah- Eucalyptus are you-" Frostburn tried to speak, but the scene became more horrifying.

The dragons wings were ripped clean off, and you were able to see the bones. Shrieks of pain continued as Tango's scales shifted into white, pure- terror & disgust coming across her. 

The sounds of bones breaking could be heard within every moment, & finally, in a bloody mess, the Leafwings neck snapped, collapsing to the floor. All that was left in Ecualyptus's claws was the twisted crown.

All of them stared at the dragon, & Tango saw tears coming from Frostburn's eyes. "T-Tango..w-wha.." started the Icewing, but he couldn't finish. 

(SKIP POINT)

As if on cue, all of them ran from the corpse, Tango taking the crown quickly. As she dashed down the hallway, she ran into Peacemaker. 

"Tango? What's wrong?" Peacemaker asked, sounding concerned as he looked at Tango's pale scales. "E-Eucalypt-tus, d-dead-" she stuttered, not being able to process what was happening.
