the war of flames

Here is the little preamble for my newest random writing crave. Feel free to look at this before you read, I'm sure it'll help you understand what I'm getting at a little more. Look for the dots for a marking of a new topic. I'll have an introduction, and a little insight on all of my five main characters.

Introduction ----
The Continent of Asralia [as-rael-ia] has never agreed on much of anything. Being populated with both the most headstrong of people, and beasts, peace hasn't ever occurred. Many nations, of all different climates, have clashed ever since the settlement of Asralia. The most recent war has been named the war of flames, named for it's use of dragons, and bloodshed. The reason is simple, rule. Out of all of the numerous nations, a leader has never existed in the Dust Settlers kingdom, and naturally chaos was formed. The Dust Settlers had a grand queen, who tragically lost her life in the war of seas. Now, her two daughters have to choose who gets the kingdom. Their answer? War. Without the ability to comply, or a sense of governing, war is normal. However, this isn't just another war. It's the war prophecies have been leading up to, the war that should lead Asralia out of it's darkness. The war to cause the dust to settle, only there's one tiny problem...

Their fate rests in the hands of teenagers.

Teenagers who don't know where their destiny lies, or how difficult it will be to reach. Will they succeed together? Or let their differences tear them apart?

Tribes and their Alliances ---
Sky Tracers - Northern Plateaus - Allied with the Ice Breaks and the Eastern Dust Settlers - Led by Queen Sarisse, riding Scarlet Moon
Dust Settlers [east] - South Eastern Deserts - Allied with the Sky Tracers and some Ice Breaks - Led by Princess Kaliah, riding Scorpion Kiss
Dust Settlers [west] - South Western Deserts - Allied with the Sea Winds and Earth Bearers - Led by Princess Taliah, riding Sand Storm
Earth Bearer - Eastern Plains - Allied with the Sea Winds and Western Dust Settlers - Led by Queen Malan, riding Nature Will

Ice Breaks - Northern Seas - Allied with the Sky Tracers and occasionally the Eastern Dust Settlers- Led by Queen Tundara, riding Glacier Point

Character one; Reniah - Sky Tracer - Sixteen
Reniah, or Ren, for short, is a Sky Tracer, meaning that she lives in the northernmost part of Asralia. The headstrong girl fights alongside the rest of her tribe, riding their dragons. Ren is an archer, known for her hawk-like precision and strength. She has hollow brown eyes, resembling the color of the autumn moon. Her hair is a deep brown color, wavy, and flows to the middle of her back. However, the girl keeps in it a loose braid to prevent it from getting in her face while fighting. With her high cheekbones and prideful glare, you would think that Ren was born of noble birth, which is a half - truth. Her great grandfather was the leader of the Sky Tracers before being murdered by his brother, who set the tribe in the hands of his wife's family. Some say that it was the wife, other's say the man was mad, and couldn't possibly know what he was doing, causing havoc in the middle of the death they already lived in. Needless to say, they lost their path to lead, and Ren is a soldier, nothing more. Yet, she has no idea what's coming for her in the next few weeks. She is a compassionate girl, when far from the battlefield. She has been taught by her mother how to heal certain burns and cuts, most of them that are made by dragons. From the breath of an Ice Break, to the sting of a Dust Settler, she knows how to help. However, Ren is a terrible nurse, and wishes not to be put in that position. The caring girl also wishes to do her work alone, being independent and not fully trusting anyone. She learned that well enough.

Reniah rides her trusted Sky wing, Night Star, a dragon holding the speed and skills of your average sky tracing dragon. The dragons are sleek and slim, with long, daring wings. They fight and use their fire, being smart as most of their owners. Colored from dark purple to pale blue, they blend in best at night and in the sky, where they chose to do their biding. Night and Ren have a trusting relationship, being that both of their thoughts flow together smoothly. They push each other, and both don't know when to stop. Time will tell. Being that the Sky Tracers' land is filled with high cliffs, lush plains, and steep gorges, almost everyone isn't afraid of heights.

Character two; Deluna - Eastern Dust Settler - Sixteen
Deluna, Dee or Luna, is a Dust Settler, living in the southern part of Asralia. Dee is a sassy girl, used to being spoiled, from everything to spoils of war, to getting to eat first. Still, as a bit of a priss, she fights alongside her tribe in the war. Dee is a spell caster, having the ability to transfer her dragon's sand powers through her hands, and use them to her abilities. The teenager resembles the deserts in which she was born, having golden sand hair. Her hair cascades down her back, and she doesn't bother doing anything to it. Dee's eyes are a velvety purple, that tend to glow when she preforms her sand sorcery. She is a short tempered girl, who loves getting her way. She has an attitude and isn't afraid to stand up for what she thinks is right, and therefore likes to change her loyalties quickly. Her parents are some of the richer families in the tribe, and she is used to getting everything she wants when she wants it. Dee isn't afraid to take something away viciously, and spill blood. It's common for a dust settler to feel this way about violence. As for cooperation, Dee couldn't give a care to the word. She, being good friends with Kaliah, the princess of the Eastern Dust Settlers, learned how to act from her. Take and take until you can't take anymore, then move on to another kingdom. Deluna is as stubborn as they come, and stuck up, thinking she is a princess herself.

Luna rides her poisonous dragon, Spiked Glory. She refers to him as Spike, and anyone who has fought the duo would know why. Dust Settlers' dragons have thick, heat - resistant scales. One the top of their heads sprout thick horns, sticking out to the sides of their heads, and being useful in fights. The dragons come in colors from pale yellow, to a thick and dark red. Spike, is a pale orange color with yellow scales on his belly and under his neck. The dragons have poisonous stingers on the end of their tails, just like scorpions. Their wings are thick as well, and they tend not to fly very much, their fighting being better on the ground. Now, with Deluna being a sorceress, she often forces sand into Spike's flames, making the impact all the harder. The two get along for the most part, knowing their places in the battle. Yet, they both can lose their temper.

Character Three; Creek - Earth Bearer - Seventeen
Creek lives in the plains of Asralia, with the Earth Bearers. Unlike most teenagers his age, he doesn't fight with his comrades. His father was a forger of the weapons that most of their tribe used, that is until he passed away. Now, it's up to Creek to make, fix, and restore weapons to the constant battle. Personally, he doesn't mind being cooped up in the mud-made houses of the Earth Bearers. He could rather be inside having a constant job, than fighting and getting himself killed. Creek is a chubby boy, having a sweet and innocent looking face. However, the teenager is also large, standing at six feet in height, and not lacking in muscle for his work. Creek has short, unruly brown hair, being rather messy, and often lined with soot. His eyes are an amber color, and oval-shaped. The teenager is a softy, as most people in his tribe would describe him. He has a caring hand, and is a hard worker. As a forger, it's all the boy has ever really known. He takes directions from anyone, and trusts quickly. If he had to fight, the boy would be what people call an instructor. This type of fighting means that the rider helps the dragon in fighting, and is always on it.

Earth Bearers are thick, large, and strong dragons. They are born from the earth themselves, and have to prove their strength by digging out of their ten foot deep nests while hatching. Creek rides Pheasant Song, his older sister's dragon. Pheasant became his once Mora was killed in the fighting. Ever since that, Creek has barely ever been able to look at the dragon. Yet, the light brown dragon has a calm and obedient heart, perfect, really, for Creek. Pheasant, like most Earth Bearers' dragons, is large, having a square-shaped head and a thick muscled body. Her wings can keep her in the air for long periods of time, but like Dust Settlers, they don't fly for long.

Character Four; Benacle - Sea Wind - Fifteen
Benacle, named after the Barnacle, goes by Benny and Benny alone. He hates his name, and will say that his name is Benny unless someone knows the truth about his naming. That's the thing about this young snitch, he loves lying. He is convinced that his life is so boring, even in the middle of a war, that he needs to have daily lies to make it more interesting. It runs in his family really, from their switching sides in average arguments, to trying to cheat extra food. The boy is rather small, and slim, being only 5'3". He has beady green eyes, like most of the Sea Wind people. Benny has a thick head of curly, red hair. It's very disincentive, and is about the only thing that lets people know where he really is. The small boy is often running around and messing with people, just to make his day a little more, out of the ordinary. Benny would hate being normal, and prefers being annoying instead. His parents don't mind, and aren't really around him to control him. As for siblings, Benny has none, and loves it that was. Being a spoiled annoyance has it's perks. He is almost never serious, and takes everything the wrong way, or simply laughs at it. Like death, he taunts whatever he battles, looking death in the face and laughing. He almost died in the last battle, not because of another tribe, but because another warrior thought he was an intruder from another kingdom and harpooned him. The boy is fine of course, and didn't learn his lesson at all, being that he would do it again any day, given the chance.

Sea Wind dragons are similar to fish, only with legs and wings. The dragons are colored anything from pale blue, to bright green, with variations of colors in between. The have curved horns that slide back behind their ears, making them look somewhat graceful. They have bands of different colors around their necks, that they light up to communicate with, to their family or riders. Benny rides a young Sea Wind named Shark Bait. Now, yes, Benny did name the poor female dragon. He calls her sharky more than not, yet is a caring owner. He loves her really, and takes decent care of her. As far as fighting goes, Benny fights with knives while Shark Bait distracts them, if they fight, which isn't often.

Character Five; Ronan - Ice Breaks - Sixteen
Ronan is the firstborn son of Queen Tundara, of the Ice Breaks. Born of noble birth, he has gotten almost everything a boy could want, only, he doesn't want it. He would much rather be a normal teenager, fighting and risking his life, instead of being cooped up in an icy palace. He knows how to fight, sure, and can do wonders with his sword, but the boy never has a chance to use it. The boy has a royal appearance to him, but doesn't speak like it. He isn't very tall, only 5'6", with a lean body. He has strength, but by a simple glance at him, you wouldn't assume that. Ronan's hair is short and clean - shaved. It's a midnight black color, unlike the wintery blonde color most Ice Break people have. The teenager's eyes are the real thing he had going for him, which are an icy blue. They seem see through, and are very vibrant. His skin resembles a pale moon, which is another feature of the Ice Break people. Usually, Ronan chooses to be silent in a conversation, simply soaking up the information like a sponge. He has a very calming presence, and doesn't often speak his mind. When Ronan does speak, however, he shows his intelligence and humor, which he leaks into his words.

Ice Breaks are daring dragons, being excellent fighters like their riders. Ronan rides Freeze Point, the son of his mother's dragon. Freeze, like many Ice Breaks, ranges from an icy blue color, to pale white. The dragon is mostly white, with a lavender and light blue color under his wings. Most Ice Breaks have large horns in the back of their heads, sticking out like icicles, which makes them difficult to ride. Be that as it may, they are also very smart dragons. They are born with a fighting instinct, and deadly ice - fire breath, that freezes their victims. Ronan and Freeze fight side - by - side, the teenager with a three foot sword, and the dragon with his freeze breath.
