Chapter 4: A Tribe’s Clan

Fate: 40-50 coli battles

As Blue watched the sunrise over the cliffs in the distance, she couldn't help but wonder where the hatchlings were. They hadn't come in to wake her or Sage, nor had they appeared in the middle of the night to ward off nightmares. She wasn't worried - they'd probably found other hatchlings to play with - just curious. The guardian glanced back to make sure she hadn't woken anyone before stepping out of the den to look for her children. They'd be off after the rest woke up, after all. It was better that they didn't wander off and get lost before then.

The Clan of the Rising Tide was a fairly large one, to say the least. They were spread out over multiple large caves, connecting them with an underground system of tunnels. The Clan Elder had explained the night before that the idea for the tunnels had come up after a war with a neighbouring clan, which they'd lost due to being outnumbered. The tunnels would confuse the attackers and let the clan have an edge when defending that they wouldn't otherwise have. They were also useful as a means of travel since they wouldn't be affected by strong weather while underground.

Blue did, indeed, get lost while walking through the tunnels. She had been trying to get to the cave where the hatchlings were kept, but she kept on running into dead ends. These guys put a lot of dedication into digging out these tunnels...I'm impressed.

"Hey! Need a hand?"

The guardian turned to see a pink tundra headed her way and smiled.

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind a little help. These tunnels confuse me - I think I would have been better off going to the surface instead," she grinned, a little embarrassed.

"I can't blame you. They confused me when I first joined, as well. I'd feel sorry for any tundras that live here - their poor memory must forget all the pathways. Where are you headed?" the other dragon replied. As she came closer Blue could see that they were a long-haired gaoler, not a tundra. She assumed a lot of misunderstandings had been made based on that.

"Wherever the kids sleep. I'm looking for Ashes and Heaven is all."

"Right this way, then!" Both dragons smiled and Blue followed the gaoler through the tunnels and out to a smaller cave with around ten hatchlings. She checked the perimeter of the cave to see if they were hiding in any hidden nooks or crannies since neither Heaven nor Ashes were amongst the ones initially noticeable. They weren't in the cave.

"Maybe they woke up early and snuck out?" the guardian asked, half-hoping that was the case. She didn't want to think about what could have happened instead.

"I doubt it. The kids have superhuman hearing, they'll wake up at the slightest stir. Maybe we ca-"

Everyone stopped what they were doing at the scream that had cut the gaoler off mid-sentence. Blue looked back towards the tunnels, narrowing her eyes.

"What was that?" she asked as every other dragon in the room stormed towards the tunnel entrance. The gaoler looked back and gestured for her to follow them, so she did.

They came to a larger cave, that Blue recognised as the Clan Elder's den. She'd been invited earlier to discuss potential trade and relationships - to which she had politely declined. The Tribe was still young and they wanted to remain as neutral as possible.

Before she could shoulder her way to the front to see what had happened, another dragon made his way to the front - a purple skydancer with turquoise wings. Others stepped aside so that he could get there easily - Blue assumed that he had a large amount of respect within the clan.

"Let him decide. He's a mage, he would know what happened," a voice said. Every head around Blue's turned to see who it was, so she looked as well - a white fae with purple tints to her wings stepped forwards towards the skydancer. "Zephyr, work your magic. Do you know who did this and how?"

The skydancer paused before answering. "It wasn't the wound that killed her," he eventually said. "She was poisoned long before that - you can tell from the way the blood coagulates around the knife. As for who - I'm not sure. Not many have a motive, though, and it should be easy to pick out who did it."

"We should start by seeing who has an alibi and who doesn't," another voice cut in. Bluee strained her neck to see who it was - and was a little surprised to see the gaoler from earlier join the fae and skydancer by what she could now see was the dead body of Alika, the Clan Elder.

"Almost everyone was at the gathering last night. It'll be easy to pick out who wasn't there," the fae added. "Good idea, Secret. And motive...I can think of one particular group who would have reason to kill our elder. The Tribe of Clear Waters. They are outsiders. they would have reason to take us down - we are a large and powerful clan - but they are too weak to wage open war on us. I say we bring them in for questioning."

"I can think of another person who would kill Alika, and that is you, Poison. You are our deputy. You are next in line for power - and we all know that you're not shy to use your own methods to get what you want. Surely getting rid of Alika now to grab the power before it can be contested is a good trade-off for a little unrest in the clan," the gaoler spat back. "I propose that we do not declare a new elder until this matter has been solved - and that we put the clan on lockdown."

"You-"

"Quiet, both of you, Secret has a point, and so do you, Poison. I think that those are good ideas - we'll bring the Tribe in for questioning, put the clan on lockdown and postpone the declaration of a new elder. Poison, you'll be questioned too - just to be sure," the skydancer sighed. He stepped in between the gaoler and the fae as if to say that they were done talking to each other.

"You say to postpone the declaration, but you take matters yourself as if you are the elder. You haven't even suggested that the Council vote on these matters." A black nocturne came into view in the clearing. "You take the role of a tyrant, taking power and dismissing the others."

"Allumen, the Council has an even amount of members. Voting would be meaningless as we could end up with a draw," the skydancers sighed. He began to pace, gradually accelerating with every step. Blue frowned.

"In that case," she said, wincing as she felt everyone's eyes turn to her, "let me be the odd addition to the Council. I am the leader of the Tribe of Clear Waters, and as we are involved in this affair, I think it only fair."

"Yes, so you can vote against us suspecting you," the fae sneered. "No thanks."

"Hush, Poison. Blue has a point - it would seem biased to make these decisions without a member of the Tribe to weigh in on things. I assume nobody else has objections to Blue joining the Council as a temporary member?"

"You're too soft, Zephyr," the fae muttered, looking to see if anyone had objections. Nobody did.

"Welcome to the council, Blue of the Tribe of Clear Waters."
