The New Age Begins

After the takeover, Monarch stood in shock.  He hadn't been around so much moisture since he left home as a hatchling.  He supposed he should thank Dissension for this...but he felt like a criminal.  It wasn't right.  But...now he was a king.  He stood strong, proud, and donned a water crown.
"Oh, Monarch!"  Dissension came up to him, a smile on her face.  "I have an idea."
"And that is?"
"Dusk, DarkFire, and all of their advisors will become outcasts.  Any dragon that supported us during this takeover will become an advisor.  Any dragon absurdly loyal to DarkFire and Dusk will be sent to fight with the Tidelord.  Thoughts?"
"What about the fighters?  I know that most of them are loyal to DarkFire.  The only one I can think of that isn't completely committed to DarkFire and the fire element is Luna.  But we need those fighters.  They supply our clan with food."
"Keep a close eye on the fighters."
"What about Protector?  Do you honestly think that he would protect me?"
"Tell him a little story.  I don't care what, just make him think that his parents will have hope.  And make sure he tells no one.  Got it?"
Monarch sighed.  Perhaps he wasn't cut out for ruling.
"Did you know that Shadow and LittleFire have already left?  It's like they're scared.  Who knows, maybe even more dragons will leave.  We can make room for purebloods.  And by purebloods, I mean water dragons."
"What about the water dragons that didn't support us?"
"Like who?"
"Gentleness, Frost...all of them.  What about Rusty when she returns?  She's the dragon that coined the term "steamlets" for our clan."
"I highly doubt that Rusty will return."
"No one will accept UnnamedLegend as an outcast.  She's too kind to everyone."
"Fine, but don't let her be an advisor.  She's going to be a citizen.  Just like you were."  Then she skipped away with a smirk on her face, leaving Monarch to wonder who was truly in charge here....
