Marbilou:Oooooh

(Wait, are you a dragon or a human?)

human))

(Ah, ok, be aware that the dragon will not understand you and you will not understand it without the use of magic for right now, I will provide a way to communicate though, and I will put translations of what they say.)

*the dragon says something that you do not understand*

Translation:

???: oh great a scavenger.. if it has some common sense it would leave… if not.. I guess I won’t have to go hunting for a few hours. Or I can see if this thing I stole from that seawing actually works. *they pull out a scroll*

Marbilou:*he has no weapons on him* well shit i think it wants to kill me

???: let’s see if they are actually intelligent enough to use this at least. Bad enough the only things they can use appear to be pointy sticks so far. *they right something down and toss the scroll over to you. It has something written at the top, there is a translation section at the bottom that reads: “hello scavenger, did you see a seawing near here?”

Marbilou:Oh *he writes: Uh nah i dont know sorry*

*as soon as you finish writing, the skywing dragonet picks up the scroll, they seem more stunned that you can write and appear to have intelligence, they quickly turn their shock into anger as they feel annoyed that you haven’t seen anyone*

???: so they are intelligent after all.. who knew? *they write something else down, this time it reads: “Thank you, I honestly didn’t think this would work. That and I just thought scavengers only knew how to use their silly little sharp sticks they used to kill Queen Oasis of the sandwings and start a 20 year long war.”*

Marbilou:Ah

???: *she waits for you to respond before writing again, she seems like she wants to gain more information*

Marbilou:*he writes:uh yes indeed we aren't that dumb but we're kinda weak against people like you*

Write*

*the skywing reads the scroll, then starts writing again*

The scroll reads: “we already knew you were fragile, and I guess you know a thing or two about dragons since some of your own managed to kill Queen Oasis which drew the rest of us into a war. The only dragons that didn’t join it were the rainwings.”

Marbilou:*writes: ah that must sucks to be at war*

*a rainwing lands near both of you*

???: you have a scavenger?

Inferna: this one walked right up to me, and apparently they aren’t as stupid as they seem. *she shows the rainwing the scroll*

???: HEY, WE HAD OUR OWN PROBLEMS.

Inferna: I forgot about the Nightwing’s attempting to use burn to take over the rainforest and kidnapping some rainwings. Thanks for reminding me actually. I was a little more focused on my end where we were fighting bloody battles to defend our territory. Our idiot Queen ally wanted to get us massacred by sending us into icewing territory. Luckily I did my research ahead. Thank the moons I never legitimately joined my army.

???: you make me want to hit you with one of our sleeping darts sometimes. *laughing*

Inferna: I know. *she chuckles too* look, you can write on the scroll too.

???: and I will.

*the rainwing wrote one the scroll too, the next translation was: “The rainwings had their own problems and ended up getting drawn in during the last months of the war anyways despite what my friend said earlier. The nightwings and rainwings are now ruled by one Queen.”*

Marbilou:*writes:ooooh interesting*

*the rainwing and skywing look at each other*

*the rainwing writes on the scroll again*

Translation: are you actually interested or are you like every other tribe who doesn’t think the rainwings are worth anything?

Inferna: *after reading what was written* HEY! I like your tribe a lot!

???: didn’t seem like it before you met me.

Inferna: that’s because I knew literally nothing about your tribe, your the first rainwing I’ve met. The Skywings would be in much better shape if we had a queen like Glory instead of Scarlet.

???: yeah yeah…

Inferna: I’m serious.

???: we… didn’t always have Glory as our queen…

Inferna: I know. I heard she gave Scarlet a nasty mark on her face when she was captured. Scarlet deserved it in my opinion.

???: isn’t saying that treason for you?

Inferna: not when she’s nowhere to be found to run the kingdom. *smiling*

???: fair enough. *they smile back and hand the scroll over to you*

Marbilou:*writes: im kinda interested*

Inferna: see?

???: I guess your right. Wait, do my eyes deceive me or is that an iceberg over there?

*both dragons look out over the ocean*

Inferna: I spot 5 dragons… only two of which appear to be from Pyhrria.

???: hm… a seawing and an icewing. Can’t tell what the other 3 are.

Inferna: *writing on the scroll* want to go see what their doing here?

???: might as well.

Scroll translation: looks like we have more friends, want to go meet them?

Marbilou:*writes yeah sure* >:)

Inferna: … alright, keep up with us scavenger. *she takes the scroll*

???: I’ll carry it. *the rainwing lies down so that you can get on its back*

Marbilou:*get on its back*

*the two dragonets walk you close enough to shout at the other dragons*

*as soon as the other dragons see the skywing, they prepare to fight, however, the fifth dragon they saw earlier is missing*

Inferna: woah woah woah, as much as I’d like to defeat all of you, the war is over.

Abyss: really?

Blizzard: deception tactics… how predictable.

???: she’s serious, it literally ended just 6 days ago.

Abyss: wait, who’s queen of the Sandwings then?

Inferna: Queen Thorn. They aren’t from the royal family. Blister and Burn died and Blaze was deemed unfit to rule. I have a new queen too.

Blizzard: Scarlet’s dead?

Inferna: we aren’t sure but she hasn’t been seen for a while. Ruby took over. She finally got rid of that arena.

Ivy: guys, you didn’t tell me you were at war.

Abyss: that was the first thing I said when we found you in the Poison Jungle.

Ivy: actually, you were lost, I found you.

???: stop fighting, all of you!

Blizzard: I almost didn’t notice the rainwing.

???: YES, WE’VE HAD OUR OWN PROBLEMS AND ALSO GOT THROWN INTO YOUR WAR!

Inferna: yeah, they had a Nightwing problem.

???: they wanted to kill all of us and take our territory! You call that a problem?! *they turn red*

*Inferna facepalms*

Inferna: I was going to explain what happened as soon as they actually came ashore.

???: oh…

Abyss: we’ve been stuck in the ocean for several months, let’s let our talons rest on dry ground and then we can talk.

Inferna: also you left your scroll that apparently translates dragon to scavenger here. *she holds it up*

Abyss: WHAT.

Inferna: I haven’t told anyone… well, besides my friend here. Anyways, who are you? I never got your name when I interrogated you.

Abyss: my name is Abyss. This is—

Blizzard: I’m Blizzard.

Ivy: I’m Ivy.

*the 4th dragon was gone now two.*

Inferna: I could have sworn I saw 5 of you.

Blizzard: I guess you need to get your eyes checked.

Inferna: I am almost never wrong! I have the best eyesight out of any skywing.

Blizzard: well your wrong today.

*the rainwing facepalms, she takes the scroll and starts writing on the scroll again*

Translation: looks like they’ve been out in the ocean for several months. Not sure how they’ll react too you. *they hand you the scroll*

Abyss: wait, is that a scavenger on your back?

???: yes it is. *the rainwing actually sounds happy*

Inferna: it just walked up to me.. no common sense I guess.

Marbilou:*writes, well guess thats new to them*

*the rainwing reads the scroll, Abyss quickly takes the scroll*

???: where did you find a scroll like this.

Inferna: remember what I told you about Abyss before I knew his name?

???: so he’s the animus.

Abyss: you told someone?!

Inferna: only my friend here. *she hugs the rainwing* I wouldn’t tell Scarlet. We didn’t even report you.

Blizzard: so all of us know?

Ivy: wait you can use magic?! YOU COULD HAVE SAVED THE HIVEWINGS!

Inferna: what?

Abyss: that would require an extremely strong enchantment in which I’m not sure I’m capable of making. If I could I would probably lose my soul, the wording has to be very careful.

Ivy: your right… magic isn’t really something that should be thrown around…

*Inferna and Blizzard look at the ground, Blizzard seems to be much better at hiding secrets so only Inferna gives something away.*

Ivy: I take it that you’ve thrown away other enchantments before?

Abyss: well… um…

???: well, the scroll is one.

Blizzard: he enchanted a ring that heals any injury and disease as long as your holding it. It might work on the mind control, I don’t know though.

Ivy: that sounds like a pretty big enchantment to me.

Abyss: it was on a ring, we have to give each Hivewing the ring for it to work, it’s a pretty small enchantment if you ask me.

Inferna: hold up, there’s a tribe that has mind control?

Abyss: long story.

???: I forgot about the scavenger on my back for a second. *they take the scroll*

Abyss: HEY!

*the rainwing writes on it again*

Translation: The other continents exist and one tribe has mind control! Isn’t that weird?

Marbilou:Wait a sec, something ain't right! *writes:Its not weird, Its also OVER POWERED like they can Mind anyone from any species, i guess?*

???: *reads the scroll* uh Ivy… you want to clear this up for the scavenger?

Ivy: *reading the scroll* HAHAHAHAH yeah I have explaining to do. *they write on the scroll now*

Translation: no, only Queen Wasp has it and for now she can only control hivewings.

Marbilou:*writes: ah guess it would be total chaos if she could do that to other species*

*Ivy takes the scroll and writes on it again*

Translation: there would be no one to stand against her. The hivewings can’t even think for themselves because of Queen Wasp. If she could control the silkwings that way, she would.

Marbilou:*writes:Lmao, everyone have a weakness btw, its not that hard to find one*

Ivy: this strange creature doesn’t seem to understand I can’t even get near the Queen’s hive without being killed. My stealth skills are good, not as good as yours Blizzard, but I doubt even you would be able to get into their hive.

Blizzard: hey you never know…

Inferna: this is the first time we’ve met someone from your tribe so you’ll have to explain.

Ivy: I’m half Leafwing half Hivewing. If I had four wings instead of two I could probably pass for a silkwing-Hivewing hybrid, but even those are forbidden where I’m from. Not that they don’t exist sometimes.

???: that’s so sad!

Ivy: heh, wait till I tell you that Queen Wasp tried to wipe out my entire tribe during the tree wars. She barely knows we exist, and most of the silkwings and hivewings don’t know we exist. We’ve stayed alive by keeping ourselves hidden in the one place they can’t destroy the trees.

Inferna: your Queen Wasp sounds so much worse than Scarlet.

Ivy: Queen Wasp isn’t my queen.

Inferna: ok… who is it then?

Ivy: I will not tell you.

Inferna: *annoyed* find then. *the air around her seems hotter than before*

???: careful, you’ll burn our scavenger.

Inferna: sorry. *the air cools down again* Wait, “our?”

*Ivy was writing on the scroll again*

Scroll translation: I can’t get near her hive without getting myself killed. Even if I wanted too, she could have at least 1000 dragons ready to kill me if I’m even found near the hive.

Marbilou:Well well well guess i have to do all the work *write:you know you have two options, sneak or bassically make a distraction so i could get in*

*Ivy reads the scroll and facepalms, then writes*

Translation: if you wanna go on a 2 month long journey in the open ocean on an iceberg, be my guest.

Marbilou:Ah..... *writes:guess this is bad*

Ivy: now they start to understand.

Abyss: it takes scavengers a while. They don’t understand us normally.

Inferna: that was less time than you.

*the rainwing laughs*

Blizzard: no it wasn’t, also that scavenger doesn’t look like it’s held a weapon in its life.

Inferna: fair enough, and it was stupid enough to walk right up to me.

*Ivy is writing on the scroll again*

*the rainwing goes over to look*

???: what are you going to tell the scavenger?

Ivy: that the rest of you are idiots. Except Blizzard here.

Inferna: three moons, you are annoying.

???: that’s not what she’s writing to the scavenger.

Ivy: it was a joke.

Translation: now you see why we can’t just go over there.

Marbilou:*writes:I sea why*

Ivy: alright.

Abyss: where did this Scavenger even come from?

Inferna: like I said, it walked right up to me. *she takes the scroll and writes*

Translation: where did you come from? One of us will fly you back.

Marbilou:*writes:I come from a village near where i met you* Yeah its about time that im hungry

*Inferna reads it*

Inferna: I have never seen a scavenger den here. If there is one it must be very well hidden.

Blizzard: they clearly had more common sense then this scavenger.

???: so what’s the plan? Who’s flying them back?

Blizzard: you look the least threatening.

Ivy: I didn’t float all the way here on an iceberg to die here. If scavengers live here in the open in villages, they must be able to kill dragons with something. Might even be able to knock us out of the sky with something.

Inferna: their usually hidden.

Abyss: they said it wasn’t far, maybe we could let them walk?

Inferna: are you really trying to ruin my one chance at being nice to a scavenger?

Abyss: no, not at all.

???: ask the scavenger. They can point us in the right direction. *she takes the scroll and writes on it*

Translation: where is your village?

Marbilou:*writes: i will show you*

*Inferna reads it*

Inferna: alright I’ll go.

???: I’ll come with ya.

Abyss: are you sure?

Inferna: if five years of war didn’t kill me, what makes you think some scavengers can?

Ivy: considering they killed a queen…

Inferna: yeah I know.

Marbilou:*cough Twice*

Inferna: oh right. *she writes on the scroll*

Translation: hop on my back. We’ll fly you there.

Marbilou:Ok *hops on her back*

*Inferna tries to give the scroll back to Abyss but he refuses to take it*

Abyss: your going to need it when you get there.

Inferna: actually, yeah your right. We’ll be back shortly. *Inferna and the rainwing take off*

Marbilou:WOOOOOOH

Inferna: can you check to make sure the scavenger is holding on?

???: I think they’ll be fine, just fly slow, we don’t know where we’re going.

Marbilou:*is holding on*

Inferna: *handing the rainwing the scroll* keep asking it for directions.

???: I know. *their writing on the scroll mod flight, so it looks more messy*

Translation: where exactly are we supposed to go?

Marbilou:*writes:continue flying, then you'll see a lake and then you fly to the north and you'll see my village*

???: *the rainwing flies takes the scroll back once your done* head north.

Inferna: alright, let’s try to stay out of sight.

???: considering the scavenger, that might be a good idea.

*they turn to fly north*

*some minutes later, you see marb's village*

Marbilou:*smiles*

Inferna: I see it. It looks like it has defenses.

???: land a safe distance away. We’ll let them walk.

*They land in sight, close enough for your village to actually raise the alarm and set up defenses, but far enough away that they cannot really do anything without sending an army*

Inferna: off you go little scavenger. *she lays down so you have an easier time getting off her back*

Marbilou:*get off her and he does the sign to make her know that he thanks her*

*the two dragonets acknowledge it and fly off, they aren’t waiting for the army to show up*

Marbilou:*he goes to his village*

End: the dragons decide what to do about Ivy’s problem of getting her tribe over to Pyhrria, this was solved later.

True Ending: the dragons on the iceberg didn’t actually arrive until a few days before Darkstalker was released, Inferna and some of her friends helped Ivy, Abyss, and Blizzard catch up on world events. They actually ended up staying on the coast once they heard he had awoken.
