Prologue

"Grand come here!"

Grand looked up from his scroll "Ok be there in a second Dad!"

Grand got up and walked from his room to the main room of the house "What is it, Dad? Did I do something wrong?" He asked his dad.

"No, you didn't. We are going somewhere special and I need you to clean up and put on your Obsidian vest."

"Oh ok!" Grand was excited. He loved every chance he got to dress up. He went up to his room and took out his Obsidian studded vest from a box under his bed. He put it on it fit just right. He took a rag and wrapped snow with it and polished off his scales. He walked back downstairs. He asked his dad "How do I look?"

"You look Grand!" they both laughed once they stopped his father said, " Grand we are going to be flying there but it's not too far away."

"Ok, I'll just follow you." He followed his dad out the door and up into the sky. " It looks like we are heading towards the castle. Are we going to your work again?"

"No this is a little more exciting than being a librarian. We have an audience with the queen." Hia dad glided down to the gate of the Palace Grand followed. They walked up to the gate and the two guards let them in. They went straight to the throne room. Grand walked in and saw the queen sitting on her throne with the princess in her own next to her mother's. The queen nodded at his father and said: " You may go." His father bowed and left

The queen looked at him "I understand that you are Grand Atrium?"

Grand was surprised what did the queen want with him? " Y-yes I am."

"Good just the dragon I wanted to see. I understand that you are a very smart dragonet. I want you to live and study here in the castle and when the time comes I want you to become the next king." As her mother said this the princess jumped up "WHAT? You want me to marry him? First of all, he is the librarian's son second of all he is a hybrid!"

"Yes I know he is a hybrid but if you two marry it would create a peace between the Icewing and Rainwing kingdoms." The princess sat down " I guess you're right. But how old will we be when we get married" The Queen thought about it for a second "You're both the same age so when you're twenty so you have ten years to get to know each other. Also grand I have a job for you I want you to run and create an academy for hybrid dragonets."
