War of the Wings

Terror seized the hearts of many as there was chaos soaring everywhere! With wings slashing, fires burning, teeth ripping hides down to the very bone and more bloodshed than ever before…

There has never been a more enraged engagement such as this battle, in the War of The Wings. This may very well be the final battle if this absolute carnage keeps up.

“There is no holding back! Take them all out!”

is shouted amidst the battlefront, and then a loud war cry followed, and then the loudest thunder anyone’s ever heard blasted the sky and then BOOM! complete whiteout…

Three years goes by and Aquila finds herself in what seems to be an unknown forest, due to the complete lack of life. Days go by and as Aquila, the sapphire scaled dragon, stoops her head down to a leaf on the ground-acting like a bowl which is filled with runoff rainwater- to take a much needed drink, she sees movement near a bush close to the water. She’s still very much on her guard, especially since the war, so she prepares to kill whatever this is making the movement, and she moves quick!

and swoops in!

and goes to strike!

Then complete silence plagues the scene, and she relents at the last sliver of a second and halts her claw.

The Silhouette of a man cub deters her, and she gasps and knees fail her as she collapses to the ground and continuously shakes her head as flashbacks from the war keep playing. Then she stops suddenly and faints. She wakes up and opens her eyes and the first thing she sees are two tiny human feet right next to her now pale face. She gets up and looks the lost boy square in the eyes(they’re the same height, that is about four feet) and asks him what his name is. The boy soft-spokenly says “I don’t know.”

She then glances at a dragon talon lodged in his forehead resembling a horn, so Aquila says to the boy

“Talon, that is your name. Talon was also the name of my grandfather, who lost his wings in that final battle, a great fighter but it was just his time.”

And so Aquila starts back up on her way and it wasn’t before too long that she asks the boy some questions and see what he remembers.

He says he doesn’t remember much except that there was a giant purple monster with yellow horns. And as he finishes saying ‘yellow horns’ Aquila goes into a trance-like state and flashbacks of the final battle scroll through her mind and the forest goes completely silent for a few moments…

Then “RAWR!!” thundered the sky! And the trees bowed seemingly in reverence for this deafening noise that made any previous moments of peace, lost and forgotten.

This is the sound that makes your eyes fall out of their sockets in fear of what you’re about to witness.

The black wings have spotted a human in the forest as they were haloing it in the sky above.

And that sound that everyone heard and felt was the ruler of those vandals, Draco Inferno, responding when he was notified of a human subject.

Aquila and Talon were getting used to each other and the ancient dragon that she was, being 6000 years old, had developed a soft spot in her heart for the humans. And as she considered what might be about to take place with the human, she decided she was willing to help the human and try to save her, but the woman was far away and Aquila just hoped she could make it to her before the black wings do.

The White Winged dragon named Aquila put Talon on her back and she camouflaged herself and Talon amongst the decaying forest. she sees the scared lady in the distance, not able to make her image out quite yet, she presses on to get closer.

But she hears dragons swooping passed overhead and they’re all right above where the woman is, and loud thunderings and flashes of fire everywhere, and out of nowhere showed up another white wing from underneath the rubble still in the forest, and still more white wings appeared, and Aquila kept racing on toward the woman to save her but now she’s having flashbacks again from the war, she stops, shakes her head and bats her eyes quickly, and moves on, followed by a clutch of brave white wings, she gets closer to the woman and somebody else does too: Draco, “he seems ultra furious with this one measly human” Aquila finds herself thinking, and she finally gets close enough to see who the woman in despair is, and “WHOA!”…..

A few moments go by and “This can’t be! How?! Wh-wh-what happened? what? how?

And that’s when all the flashbacks that Aquila had, Talon also had because he was able to understand dragon’s thoughts ever since that talon was lodged in his skull, that woman in distress, the woman in big trouble, the woman whom the chief of the black wings even leaves his dwelling in response to, this woman, is Talon’s mother.

The flashback:

There’s tremendous amounts of fires and death and dragons falling from the sky with a gloomy grey backdrop, and it was a war on the humans because the black wings didn’t think they needed them anymore, but the white wings intervened, one of which was Aquila who was faced with a mom and a dad with their baby boy, and the dad was picked off and he was killed by the back wings. And they went to go kill the child too, as was their custom, and they failed but one of their talons ended up in Talon’s skull. The mother on the other hand was taken and turned into a dragon with yellow horns, the war waged on and the mother was fighting against the white wings and she was so swift she slew the dragons and one of them was an old white wing named Talon. Aquila saw everything and she made sure to note who killed her grandfather. Then there was a huge explosion and it knocked many dragons unconscious for a while.

Aquila is now faced with two options: eating up her pride and saving the woman because of Talon, or proceeding with revenge and strike that woman down.

What will she do?

Another “RAWR!!” conquers the airwaves in the sky!

More And Brighter Flashes of fire fill the earth

the wind rushes from under the wings of Draco the black wing king!

Aquila hurry’s and tackles the woman,

and there’s a huge explosion…

The woman is safe and War was Waged by White Wings just when the black wings thought they had already won.
