~Prologue~

Crack. A sound comes from the egg. I hold my breath, waiting for the egg to finish cracking. I wonder what my new dragonet will look like! My name is Mantis, a female BloodWing. His father, a ZoneWing didn't make it. He was executed. It doesn't matter now, though. Crack. Crack. Crack. Then, the egg shatters, spilling silver shards, a shooting star that can never be seen again. The dragonet comes out and unfurls his own tiny wings. Instantly, I know something is wrong. The planets circling his legs are replaced with curling white smoke. When he opens his eyes, they are yellow, like the full moons overhead. 

    But they are slits.

This is bad. That means he is a dragonet who will go insane. I can't bear it, as he circles me and hisses. I scoop him and begin to sob. I don't want my dragonet to go insane! I love him! I whisper in his ear, "I'm going to call you Raini, little one. And you are going to be the best dragon any ZoneWing has ever seen, and no dragon shall ever hurt you." He squeaks once. That's it.

    I whimper as the door bursts open. Queen Twilight's guards advance on me and roar, "GET OUT!" Luckily, BloodWings are allied with ZoneWings. Bloodscape and Bloodstrike snatch the dragonet away from me and hand him to the guards. Bloodscape and his sister drag me out the door, and send me back to the Micro Kingdom.

    Raini is there. 
    
    And I see him once before my entire world of vision goes black.
