"Prince Starscream… You're carrier wishes for you to wake up…"
The prince of the winged city of Vos let out a small growl and glared at the female servant standing at the door. "Please inform my carrier that I will be up in a moment." The servant bowed and quickly rushed off to inform the Wingtress. The Prince quickly rolled over and pulled the red silk sheets over his head and tried to get back to sleep.
The soft sloshing of water was the only warning he had before a bucket of ice-water was dumped on top of him. The prince jumped out of his soaked berth and glared at his carrier currently holding an empty bucket.
"Now that you are awake Starscream, you need to get ready. There is a trine ceremony today, and with you finally being of age, you may be getting your own trine."
Starscream growled and pushed past his carrier into the changing room. He was instantly surrounded by his personal servants pulling out his clothes and helping him put them on. After being clothed, the prince met his carrier and sire in the main dining hall for breakfast before heading out to the Pinnacle of Primus.
Thundercracker sighed grabbing the winglet[1] by his wing and put a knife to his throat. "You left yourself open." Thundercracker let go of the winglet and stepped back. "That's it for today. The trine ceremony is today." The winglet nodded and smiled. "I hope you will get your trine, Thundercracker," he said before running off to his home.
Thundercracker watched the winglet for a moment then went to return to his own home. He had to get ready for the trine ceremony.
Skywarp smiled while bouncing alongside his creators. His creators where taking him to see the trine ceremony. He still had a Stellar cycle or two before he would be able to graduate the academy and get his own trine. His carrier had said that she thought it would be best to see a trine ceremony before he graduated, and Skywarp agreed.
They got to the Pinnacle of Primus where the trine ceremony would be held and joined the crowd. Many seekers were talking, but everything went quiet when a blond seeker with gold robings and the staff of the sun flew forward towards the glowing golden sphere at the top of the pinnacle.
"My brothers and sisters of the wind! We gather here to bring together seekers who shall be closer than family and will always protect each other in body, mind, spark, and wing. Three trines shall be formed this Solar cycle, and three sparks shall become one. Now, let us begin!"
The three trines had been chosen. High Priest Sunstorm had landed and was congratulating them and telling them what they should expect as new trines. Many of the people where starting to leave. Then, all of a sudden, the Primus Orb started glowing again. Many of the people stopped and turned around wondering what was going on. Sunstorm looked up then took off to the Orb. He put his hands to it and closed his eyes listening to Primus' message. Everyone was quiet. This was the first time the Orb had started glowing outside of a Trine Ceremony. Suddenly Sunstorm opened his eyes and smiled.
"My brothers and sisters of the wind! Primus has chosen to create an extra trine!"
Many of the people gasped and started whispering to each other. Primus had never created a fourth trine before.
"The seeker of the left wing is: Skywarp, son of Nightflash and Shadowstrike!"
No one in the croud moved. No one stepped forward. Then, in a small flash of purple light a Seeker appered. He was young with black hair, black wings with purple tips, and wearing purple robings.
"The seeker of the right wing is: Thundercracker, son of Cloudcover and Lightning Bolt!"
A larger seeker moved through the crowd to stand near Skywarp. He had blue hair, blue wings, blue robings, and blue and red armor.
Sunstorm paused and smiled widely. "And finaly, the trine leader is: Prince Starscream, son of Wingtress Starlight and Winglord Swiftwing!"
The prince walked stood up from his throne and walked forward to stand between his new trine mates.
"May I present to you my fellow Vosians, the Elite Trine!"
All the people started cheering and clapping as Sunstorm flew down before the new trine. He bowed before the three and smiled up at them. "Congratulations."
[1] A winglet is a young seeker from about 5-10 Stellar Cycles old. They are too young to go to the Academy and are often trained by graduated seekers who have not been called for their trine yet.
