The Wings of Chaos

A word unknown to these troublemakers.

Sundew led Tsunami and the dragonets to a cute hut that Autumn sighed over. She rapped on the door with her talons and it creaked open. A sweet-faced LeafWing answered with a smile. 

"Hello Tsunami!" She greeted the SeaWing. "What are you doing here?" 

"Hey Willow. I followed a group of annoying dragonets who think they can do whatever they want." Tsunami scowled at said dragonets.

Shiver waved. Seashell grinned. 

"Tsunami, I'll have you recall you and Turtle, who was about their age, made this same journey." Willow teased. Tsunami frowned. "Me and Turtle had permission. A word unknown to these troublemakers." 

"Hey!" Moondancer objected. "I'm four and mother says I'm very mature for my age. My word is permission enough." 

"You are only 2 years older than Copper, who's practically a baby." 

Copper gasped in offence. "That is so not true! Queen Grandma Thorn says that I am more well behaved than Mummy. Which I suppose isn't saying much but still." 

"They are here" Sundew interrupted. "To talk to us about mind control."

Willow's smile dropped immediately. "Oh."

Seashell marvelled over the the giant trees as Willow and Sundew led them to two side-by-side huts. One had an outline of a SilkWing and a HiveWing and one in between. The other held an outline of 6 SilkWings, each one smaller than the next.

Willow knocked on the 5 dragon one. A shriek of excitement answered from inside and the door swung open to reveal two little wingless SilkWings. One was pale yellow and sky blue and had abnormally long antennae. The other was deep caramel brown, chocolate tan and had silver freckles over her face.

"Hi Auntie Sundew! Auntie Willow!" The yellow one chirped. 

"Hey Rosie." Willow hugged the little dragonets. "Hi Maple." 

Maple peered around the LeafWings to inspect the strange new dragons. "Who's this?" 

Before anyone could answer, a whirlwind of red and blue blurred to the door. "HI!" the dragon shouted. "MY NAME IS SKIPPER!" 

Autumn winced slightly at his loudness. "Skipper is slightly deaf and does not understand we can hear him better than he can." Willow explained patiently. Firefly made an 'ah' sound, and waved. Skipper smiled broadly.

A green SilkWing with elegant wings appeared. "Hi guys. Hey Tsunami?" She asked, raising her eyebrows. 

"Hey Luna. This is my daughter, Seashell, and her friends, Copper, Autumn, Firefly, Moondancer, Shiver and Flicker." Tsunami gestured to the dragonets. Seashell nodded at Luna. 

"We're here to talk to you." She admitted. Before she could continue, Firefly gasped. 

"Are you Cricket?" She exclaimed, rushing over to a yellow-orange-gold-black dragon. The dragon nodded slowly. 

"My name is Firefly. I'm such a fan of your work." Firefly gushed. "I've read every single thing you wrote, that's in Pyrrhia." Cricket smiled. 

"Hi! I'm so happy to hear that someone enjoys reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them." Firefly turned to look at Seashell, and mouthed 'I'm meeting Cricket!' Seashell giggled. 

"This is Luna's brother, Blue. This is Swordtail." Cricket gestured towards two blue SilkWings.

"Hi there." Blue smiled softly. "Welcome to Pantala." 

"Alright. Skipper, Rosie, Maple, Bella, outside." Luna ordered, shoving Maple gently towards that door. The SilkWing dragonet obeyed, muttering to herself. Rosie grumbled but followed her sister and Skipper trotted out obediently. Another SilkWing, this one pale green and pink, popped out of nowhere and bowed dramatically. 

"That's Bella." Sundew murmured to Tsunami. "And that's Velvet."

A small HiveWing with blue ink splatters and antennae grinned at Shiver, who blushed, and made her way out.

"We have a lot to talk about, don't we?" Luna asked the Pyrrhia dragons. Tsunami glanced at her dragonet before responded "yes. Yes we do."
