Wings of Fire : Natures Abominations , released !

After 6 months of planning this and still in the making , the Prologue of Natures Abominations is finally here ! Link and story desc below cut

Story desc : The continent is not at peace, with tribes constantly fighting and battling for land and wealth, with hate crimes hitting each kingdom, town, home, and family of dragons. No tribe is safe from each other. No tribe is safe from themselves. But the pure bloods have it lucky. Pure Bloods have no fear of their tribes killing and dismantling them because they are a pure true dragon. but not the hybrids. Hidden away from the vile claws of pure bloods, Citrus, a justice seeking Mudwing Leafwing hybrid is tired of hiding away after learning what's outside of the Rainforest.

Shoebill Bloodroot of the Mudwings

Citrus and Harks' father. Unfortunately, he died while fighting off law enforcement before either of them hatched.

Before all of that, he and his troop of 8 were a low class family in the Diamond Spray Delta area. He was not the bigwings, but the runt of his troop. They survived by natural hunting and livestock farming. They raised alligators and common swamp fish to sell at the markets. A new family, foreign, was moving to the mud queendom. 2 adult leafwings, and their daughter, Lemon Sourweb. They were looking for work and were not very welcome in the village. Many troops looking to employee workers for businesses turned them down. Shoebill met her at the docks. He was there picking up an order that Ox asked him to transport to the market. They were both young at this time, around 6 and 7. Lemon was skipping rocks, and she caught his eye. Shoebill offered her a job on the livestock farming side of the business, and she took it. The farming side of the troop was more welcoming, understanding that they are all just dragons trying to make enough money to live. Since the fishing side of the troop was out in town and around others more often, they were more close-minded. Fast forward some years, and they've been together to the point that it is noticeable to the troop. Ox is trying to get rid of Lemon in subtle ways by spreading rumors and reporting suspicions of inter-tribal relationships. Eventually, they have 2 eggs together, and they plan to run away and try to reach Pantala. But disaster strikes when Ox gets law enforcement on them. The farming half of the troop is trying to hide and defend Shoebill and Lemon as much as they can. While they were trying to gather all necessities they could take to make the trip to Pantala, law enforcement ambushed the property. Sarco and Lemon escaped. Shoebill died fighting, and Lemon mourns him everyday.
