 disclaimer: when asbu calls cole "coal" this is not a typo, since this is in her pov i decided that i should spell his name as the type of rock since asbu wouldn't know any other spelling of it (by the way the names given to wu, lloyd, kai and zane are mostly off the top of my head with a mix of name generators)

"asbu, step forward," said the mysterious, cloaked dragon, this dragon had been the one who had sent all of asbu's predecessors on their missions, and herself as well, asbu did as she was asked and pinned her eyes on the ground, "i have a mission ready for you, a member of the black wing has been spotted in the rainforest, a rainwing, their coordinates are on the scroll in front of you, your mission is simply to take them down," the cloaked dragon spoke, they slid a scroll in front of asbu and she picked it up, the cloaked dragon gestured for her to leave the room and asbu ran off with the scroll, then began reciting the code in her head, leave no traces, make no sound, if you are to succeed, you must never be found, walk in the shadows, stay out of sight, do all these, if you want to do things right, she repeated this over and over as she flew for the rainforest, she had no need to stop for supplies; she kept everything in the pouches all on a harness around her neck and chest, but nothing in any of those pouches could prepare her for what would come next

chapter 1
asbu listened closely to the conversation she'd just stumbled onto, deciding what to do, "where are we?" said one, they were a skywing, for sure, what's shocking was they were an obvious firescales, how could a firescales get this deep into the jungle without setting everything on fire? the skywing was scarlet red with orange undersclales and cinnabar red wings, the others she found interesting; a seawing-rainwing hybrid with electric blue scales and darker wings streaked with teal in the shape of lightning bolts and pale teal underscales, a rainwing-leafwing-sandwing tribrid with emerald green scales, gold wings and pale gold underscales, a silver icewing and a white, red and purple rainwing, both of which asbu guessed were robotic, but they didn't look exactly like the one that fidget keeps going on about, then there was a wingless mudwing-nightwing, or maybe a melenistic mudwing? asbu wasn't sure, they were pitch black and looked mostly mudwing-like, but with a head like a nightwing's, the last one was a white icewing-rainwing with gold wings and pale gold underscales, they were the only one asbu could see that had anything on them, and that was a wicker hat in the shape of an-albeit very flat-cone, finally, asbu decided to come out of hiding, spinning a disc on her talon, just in case, "the rainforest kingdom," asbu said, she kept her eyes pinned on them, escpecially the wingless one, he might not have wings, but he's still part mudwing, he'll be the strongest of them, she thought, "who are you?" said the tribrid, "asbu, best-known assassin in the hives, you?" asbu replied, all of the dragons in front of her looked utterly confused, "ya know, 'the silent shadow'? the assassin that's secretly been killing off the black wing one by one?" now she'd got them even more confused, "what's the black wing?" the mudwing asked, now that caught asbu off guard, "you 7 aren't from around here, are you?" she asked, they'd have to know about the most infamous underground crime group in all of pyrrhia! that is unless...but pantala was a barren wasteland! how could they have survived there? there was just 2 possibilities, another continent, or they came from..."appearently not at all," said the tribrid, "well, just for referance, what are your names?" asked asbu, doing the thing where she sat down and curled her tail in front of her talons while tilting her head to the side, "i'm lloyd, and that's kai," said the tribrid, pointing to the firescales, "jay," he pointed to the seawing-rainwing, "wu," he pointed to the icewing-rainwing, "zane," he pointed to the icewing, "pixel," he pointed to the rainwing, "and coal," he pointed at the mudwing, well those are some...outlandish names, guess we'll have to change them to keep our cover, asbu thought, "you 3, keep your names," she said, pointing to pixel, jay and coal, "but if we're gonna keep our cover, your 4 have to change yours for now," asbu continued, pointing to the other 4, she'd been planning out a couple names; "kai, your new name will be kindling," she said, ''hmmm, what about ice-rain names? huechera, maybe?'' "wu, your new name will be huechera," "lloyd, your name will be lupuna," "and zane, your name will be zinc," asbu finally finished, "wellll, what now?" asked jay, "well before we get to my hive, jewel hive, we have to stop at bloodworm hive, after taking down my last target i ran low on sandbox tree seeds," asbu replied, without another word she shot into the air, "but there's one teeny-tiny problem" said coal, "we don't know how to fly,"

chapter 2
now that definately put up a red flag for asbu, at least the pre-glory rainwings taught their dragonets how to glide! "but, we do know something called cyclon-do," said jay, just like that he jumped into the air and went up higher and higher, surrounded by something asbu had never seen; a transluscent blue ball cupped in a cone-ish shape, that had a thin point but swooped up into a wide rim, soon the others did the same; kindling's was red, lupuna's was green, and zinc's was white, soon their wings were flapping and they were flying in a way where they wouldn't draw the eyes of everyone they flew over, all except coal, who had know wings, huechera, and pixel, the latter 2 who didn't know this cyclon-do thing, "ok, that makes things easier," said asbu, she then assigned who would carry who, she would carry coal (since his scales blended in with her's) lupuna would carry huechera, and zinc would carry pixel, "alright, now that we have everyone, we can head for bloodworm hive!" said asbu, and they flew northwest to the hive kingdom, the scenery was much different in the air since pyrrhia and pantala collided; the continents were now more dragon-like than before, linked by land through their "tails" and "snouts" like they're nuzzling with their tails intertwined, the arrangement of things also was different; now the poison jungle and the rainforest are connected, the kingdom of sand and the hive kingdom are right next to each other, the icewings live in the northernmost part of the sky kingdom, the sea kingdom streaches across the entire ocean, the mud kingdom is relatively in the same place, and, off in the distance, there was a...strange island, all who go there never return, dragons have seen dragons with 6 legs flying from it, dragons that look like skywings, but in all sorts of colors from the dullest greys to highlighter yellow, and that can vanish into thin air, some have 4 wings, some have 2, some have rounded, mudwing-like snouts with tusks or spikes jutting out of their mouth, some have pointed silkwing wings, some have no horns, but one thing has been consistant; they fit no description known to dragon kind, asbu snapped up into attention as lupuna began to speak, "so, what is this place called?" he asked, "there's no official name yet, but i like to call it 'pyrrtala'" asbu replied, everyone looked at her weird, "what, that's all i could think of," said asbu, "ooooook," said coal, "but wait what's that up ahead?" asked kindling, "that, my friend, is our first stop; the misty wood," asbu replied, the misty wood; an alpine forest packed with all sorts of critters never found anywhere else, it looks alien at night; shrouded in mist with everything in it glowing in some way; even the trees themselves, "you guys seriously didn't think we could make it to bloodworm hive in one day, did you?" said asbu, before anyone had the chance to say anything, asbu dove down, so what, she could sometimes be a bit of a show-of, but she lived by a philosphy; to learn how to do something, watch the experts first, she did a triple barrel roll then pulled back up, grabbed jay's tail, and dove back down, the wind whistling in her ears blocking out all other noise, she was just about to hit the forest floor when she made a sharp turn straight forward and, with the flick of her tail, shot up into the canopy and landed on a stone pillar, "how, did, you, just, do that," panted jay, coal to shook to speak, "the best way to learn something is to watch the experts first," she said, before flying off and getting the others

chapter 3
a few hours later, when the sun started to set, the group made it to the great cliff
