Beech turned her attention back to the scrolls. Who were they? Why were they invading mind?

A mysterious figure stood in his lair, watchig the scene unfold using the Obsidian Mirror. He had found it in the desert. A smile crept across his face. "Of course, she doesn't know who she is yet. She won't for another few years."

*Does anyone volunteer to be a traitor? If so, PM me. If no one does, I have backup.*

OoC: Well, Pyro works for the evil Animus...when should I have him come in, by the way?

*Now.*

Beech found an odd scroll that was a blood red color. What could this be? she reached out to touch it but shrieked as it seemed to burn her scales. When she pulled her talon out it was numb and black. She couldn't move it at all. What happened to my talon? She quickly plunged it into a cleaning dragon's bucket of water. Upon removing it, it was completely normal. Strange... A blackness began to ooze through her scales, starting where she had made contact with the scroll.

The mysterious dragon cleared the mirror, smiling to himself. "Pyro! I need you to do some spying for me. Use this to watch Beech. If she does something that could ruin our plans, let me know."

*I'll PM the plan to you so you're not confused.*

Rainbow blinked at Beech, "What's wrong?"

OoC: Mwahahaha! Okay!

Pyro swished his tail, the vermillion-red SkyWing eager to serve the mysterious dragon that lead him. Coming over, he grinned, revealing bright, sharp teeth. "Sounds cool. You can count on me." He lightly dragged a claw across the edge of the mirror, peering into the center.

"Now what?" Braveheart grumbled, watching the color spread through Beech's scales. She backed off a couple of steps, just in case the blackness would contaminate the area.

Varedis saw the blood-red scroll. And felt power coming off it. "Guys, something's up with thst scroll..."

"That's one weird scroll." Rainbow kept his distance.

"Isn't is supposed to be the NightWings that get the vision?" Iron asked, completely missing the point.

"And aren't dragons supposed to remain one tribe?" Rainbow asked rhetorically as he shifted into a Seawing.

"Yeah, but we're special!" Iron grinned. "That still doesn't answer the question though…"

"It does for me," Braveheart growled. "If a RainWing can be a SeaWing, then a RainWing-" she flicked her tail in Beech's direction- "can have a vision." It annoyed her how the RainWings, once considered useless, could be so powerful in this group, but she didn't let that show. She instead prided herself on the fact she had two powers- mind reading and telekinesis.

Varedis noticed something in Braveheart's tone of voice, Jealous much? There seems to be a problem, annoyed that the Rainwings are so powerful? Admit, I am too, it's nothing too bad, just kinda funny. "Guys, I have a feeling that Beech's vision and this scroll are somehow related,"

"Well, go ahead and be Miss Smarty-Scales," Iron snarled, "because that's what your name should have been." NightWings… she thought. They think they're so better than the rest of us. Well, I'll show them! I just need a plan to humiliate Braveheart forever and ever for the rest of her life.

Miss Smarty-scales... that's pretty good for a Mudwing, how do you feel about that? "Oh, calm down Iron, she was just sharing her opinion,"

"Yeah, it's only an opinion." Rainbow replied calmly.

Nefarian growled, "Iron, ton it down, don't take out your anger on her like some rowdy unsib,"

"She's a NightWing," Iron retorted, "so she'll never be one of us. NightWings are enemies of all of the tribes on Pyrria. They should have never existed. That would have saved us a lot of trouble."

"That's not cool." Rainbow said disapprovingly, shifting into a Nightwing just for effect.

Braveheart's eyes smoldered with anger as she read every dragon's thoughts. She wasn't aware that the dragonets she'd grown up around had nourished so much hate for her tribe. "If my name's Miss Smarty-Scales," she spat at Iron, "then yours must be Miss Can't-Keep-Her-Mouth-Shut!" With the final words Braveheart lunged forward and knocked the MudWing over. "I'll show you for making a mockery of the noble NightWings!"

Rainbow, though in shock, shifted into a Mudwing and went ahead with pulling Braveheart off of Iron, "Enough of both of you."

Varedis frowned, And I thought it was Sandwing's that had the temper issues, and she doesn't seem like her anger is totally because of Iron, hmm, what are the others thinking that made her so angry? If only I could read minds, that would be fun. Then Varedis jumped back as Nefarian charged at Braveheart in order to defend Iron, but Varedis held him back, "Let me handle this one," and then he walked up to the too and ripped Iron out from under Braveheart, "That's enough," You can talk with me later if you want, but killing the Mudwing isn't the answer. he thought, looking at Braveheart and then pushing Iron against a wall, "Stay here, and unless you have a positive contribution that doesn't involve provoking dragons to kill you, then shut up,"

"Nightwings?" Iron laughed. "Noble? You're as noble as…as…as…a scavenger! Right!"

Storm felt her joints loosen up. She calmly walked over to the scroll pile and picked one up, reading it. Her mind wasn't on the scroll, though. What were they thinking? she thought. We won't be able to save the world if we can't even go a day without fighting!

Wisps of smoke trailed out of Braveheart's nostrils, signaling she was losing her temperature and would probably start shooting fire everywhere. "Don't hold me back!" she shouted angrily at Rainbow and Varedis as her tail lashed. She heard Varedis in her head, but made no movement to signal she would spill her inner thoughts to him any time soon.
Hearing Iron's words, Braveheart snapped her wings open, forcing the two dragons keeping her apart from Iron away. "YOU'RE as noble as a scavenger!" she growled to Iron. "I ought to show you how I treat scavengers like you!"

Rainbow looked at Varedis, not sure what to do.

This is going to be far-fetched, but I can do this. Storm thought. Before Iron could make a retort, she created a heavy downpour, which would neutralize the fire breath and hopefully keep the quarreling dragonesses away from each other.

Rainbow pouted, though thankful for Storm's intervention, and he soon shifted into a Seawing again.

"Storm!" Braveheart screeched, ears pinned back as rain poured down her scales. Her fire wouldn't work very well in this rain! She flashed a very annoyed look at the IceWing.

Rainbow couldn't help but grin at his luck for shapeshifting into a more appropriate tribe.

"If it has to do with the fire being neutralized, then my work is done here!" Storm flashed a grin, though she doubted Braveheart could see it. "I'm trying to stop us from all getting killed!"

(StormDragon21 , Skywards not in this, you mean Storm?)

"I'll stop when she stops," Braveheart huffed. "Besides, you have enough honor to leave my tribe alone, so it's not your scales I'm after." She then turned to Iron. "If you have any last words about me or my tribe, MudWing, you better spit 'em out now!"

"How about you set a good example for your tribe by being the one to stop first?" Storm asked. I hope this works, because I don't feel like scraping anyone's burnt remains off of the ground.

Braveheart snorted, "I hear you," even though she hadn't told Storm about her mind-reading powers. All the same, taking orders from Storm annoyed her as well. She'd heard about the long-ago war between the NightWings and the IceWings. Braveheart instead decided to leave for a breath of fresh air, and departed down the halls.

Storm took a deep breath. "Let's hope there isn't anyone to incinerate down that path," she sighed, but the rain stopped pouring.

Beech gathered all her thoughts together and yelled while thinking the same thing, "ENOUGH!!!" the black shot drastcally up her leg at this and she yelped.

Rainbow turned to Beech in surprise.

Beech grabbed the red scroll in her black talon and threw it away. She then yelped again as her black talon reached for Braveheart. Look out!

Rainbow blinked; what was he seeing?

*Correction, she and she's not seeing anything.*

Beech turned to the others. She had to pin her talon down, but the black oozed into her wing. Her wing then began trying to pry her grip loose.

(Wait, so are we not seeing this blackness?)

(I think she thought you meant that Rainbow thought she was seeing a vision but in reality you meant that Rainbow was wondering what he himself was seeing, or am I mistaken)

Varedis refrained from after Braveheart but thought to himself If she needs anything, she can talk to me about it, but there's something troubling her, or so it seems.

*I thought he meant Rainbow qas qonderinf what Beech was seeing nevermind*

Beech grabbed a scroll and began whacking herself with it.

Varedis ran over to Beech and held her down, "What is this witchcraft?" But then screamed in shock as the blackness tried to leap over to him, he jumped back just in time. And then proceeded to breathe fire at Beech, not too hot and not actually touching her, but it could possibly help and it may keep the blackness away from him.

Braveheart heard the cry for help and stopped. After a moment of consideration, the NightWing turned around to see the inky blackness from before spreading across Beech's body at an alarming rate. She had though the blackness was Beech simply changing her scales, but it seemed to be out of her control. Braveheart's eyes widened. She should have known! Rushing back to the room, she screeched to a halt and leapt back as Beech reached a talon out. Is that contagious? What do I do?

OOC: Oops. Where have I been :c

Seaweed had just been watching. "A-are you okay?" She asked Beech, stuttering. She flapped her wings. Scary stuff was going on here.

Beech whacked her talon one last time before she saw a celestial dragon fly through a wall. "Hey, wait!" she called to it, going towards it. "Slow down! Come back!"

*No one else can see this dragon, it only affects Beech because of the blackness.*

Rainbow watched Beech in utter confusion, "By the three moons, what is she seeing?"

"GET BACK HERE!" Beech yelled.

Varedis was getting seriously annoyed, What on earth is going on here!?!?! Braveheart's back, hi, have any idea whats going on?

The celestial dragon turned to Beech for a moment. When she touched the RainWing, white spread from the point of contact until it met the black. Beech felt a searing pain along the line where the two colors touched and cried out.
