"Quit whining, Ruin. SOME of us are trying to plan." Izula hissed
at Ruin. She realized that hissing at a Queen might be a bad plan,
so she flicked up her tail flicked behind her back threateningly.
I'm trying to think of a good signature, so... Use your
imagination.
"Watch your mouth, HiveWing. Unless you want to feel the pang of a
superior poison." Ruin growled in reponse and lifted up her tail,
curling it like a scorpion's. Of course, she didn't actually plan
on attacking, but she sure looked like she was, her stone face
betraying nothing.
To Seahorse, it seemed like there was no more room to plan. She
simply tried to keep moving to prevent the boredom of waiting. She
wanted to be doing something! Like, maybe productive? Like,
why did they have to wait to attack the hybrids? Would the cover of
darkness really help against mind-readers and seers?
Ruin proceeded to whack Lunar on the side of the face with her
tail. "No one asked for your input, NightWing." She then half
slithered toward Izula. "Try me." Her voice was a thousand
rattlesnakes hissing at once. It was all bluff, but her 'bluff'
sometimes did get so close to attacking that sometimes even dragons
close to her never knew the difference. "You chose wrong when you
spoke out like that. I mean, I know HiveWings have always been
disgraceful dragons, but...you're kingdom must be chaos, with a
queen so useless to allow this behavior to superiors." Her
dark eyes were cold as she bluntly stated the words with no shame
whatsoever.
"Oh, and what's the sand kingdom like? Endless piles of sand.......
dragons dying from heat exhaustion..... sounds lovely, doesn't it."
Izula stood up, and stepped closer to Ruin. She was grinning like a
crocodile still, and her poisonous fangs were bared.

imagination.
"It would appear that way to you. Inferior dragons such as
yourselves would die of heat exhaustion. My dragons don't,
so a puny counter. As to be expected for dragons reflecting
insects. The difference being, my dragons know a little
discipline. Can you say as much?" Ruin's face hadn't changed at all
during her speech, and was barely phased by the other dragon's show
of arrogance. Do your worst, little dragon. Your bark is worse
than your bite, I'll bet.
Seclusion woke up, growling. He roared, but didn't get intend to
gather the hybrid. He glared at his walls, sporting the
bloodstained words and reading them out loud. Any dragon who hadn't
seen him do this would think he had finally lost his mind. "Queens,
darkness, water, sky, pain." He was relieved to not see the word '
death' but somewhat concerned either way. "Pain..." He muttered
again. He looked around the cave again, looking for more red words,
then spotted two more. " Hybrids. War. " He grimaced at that, then
roared again to try and summon the hybrids, this time to his cave.
"Discipline can be boring. And I will have you know that the Izula
ant has the most painful sting of any insect. So you can take all
your talk of insects being 'puny' and I am assuming 'weak' and
shove it up your rear end." Izula's voice started sounding angrier,
and her tail lashed behind her in frustration.
I'm trying to think of a good signature, so... Use your
imagination.
"Yes. And why do I have to fear a being that I could crush between
my claws in an instant? There are scorpions that can kill dragons,
but we eat them for lunch." Ruin sat back and flicked her black
tongue out for a moment, and flicked her tail, leaving it in the
threatening position, just for the effect. "Speaking of crushing
insects between my claws, why shouldn't I do the same to you? After
all, if I must remind you, I am a Queen and you are a disgrace. If
it wasn't for her status, I would have killed your Queen already."
Izula gasped, then calmed down and straightened her cape. "As if
you could kill Queen Yellow. She would have the entire tribe on you
in an instant. And me.... well, that would end in me doing
something very, very illegal." She snarled. She was slightly
afraid, and her wings quivered slightly. She shifted her wings to
try and make the shivering look like her wings were just buzzing,
as is normal for HiveWings.

imagination.
"Relax. I won't kill you unless you make me angry." She hissed and
turned her head away, talking to a peasant like this was boring
her. "You think I have no common sense, scorpion brain?" She then
walked away, clearly not intending to further the conversation. Let
the other dragon think what they will
