Secrets of the Soul Stealers (SotSS)
This is mostly just an info dump post for a Wings of Fire fic I made a while ago but in need of rewriting.
The info on the story is that 4 young dragons go to the Nightwing Kingdom on rumors that there is a mysterious dragon whispering commands into the Queen's ear and disappearances of dragons from almost all tribes. They discover the mysterious yet dangerous Soul Stealers and go on a mission to uncover the species' history and prevent an oncoming war meant to benefit them. (May edit the storyline a bit more and flesh out characters' personalities more as well)
Here's current info on the fan tribe:
They are called Soul Stealers. They aren't really dragons, per se, but mysterious beings driven by a near insatiable hunger.
They do not have the same hierarchy as the tribes do. They prefer to call themselves packs, with alphas leading each of the smaller packs.
The ancients, however, are extremely rare and there is only one known to still live. These ancient beings are mysterious and clever like their smaller kin.
Soul Stealers are extremely hunt driven and nearly unpredictable once set on a hunt. Don't get marked by the hunters or else you will be the hunted. They are extremely clever and manipulative beings, seeking alliances for their gain and theirs only. Their diets are unlike any other creature diets. They feast entirely on souls alone. (Inspired by the Soulfang Serpents from TDP). They can't fly but are able to glide short distances, however, they are built more for running than flight.
Soul Stealers are completely blind and almost translucent bodies bar a glowing stone that is their hearts. Their eyes are blacker than the blackest skies yet glow a deep red as a form of intimidation or during hunts. They hate sunlight as it hurts them. Weaker forms of light irritates them and fire can keep them away, though not for long. They can not swim so they do not traverse the sandy islands around the Kingdom of the Sea. Nor do they go near the Kingdom of Sand or Ice Kingdom. Their long, sharp fangs are their primary weapons but they mark their prey with their barbed tails or talons. They are said to have the most patience out of any other tribe as their hunts could easily go on for days.
