Prologue
A white dragon was flying through the icy wind, blowing against her pristine scales. She turned back, seeing a blue IceWing fighting three ruthless, completely gray IceWings, who had the blue IceWing pinned down. The IceWing was bleeding profusely, and to end the suffering, one of the grey dragons lifted a claw and-
She looked back. She didn't want to see her friend die like this. "I've only got one mission, which is getting this blue egg to a safe haven," she mumbled. She couldn't help but chuckle at what she said, because a safe haven sounded absurd in a situation and in an environment like this. The blue egg was quite abnormal, with blue swirls all over it and white flecks dotting the egg, as if a blizzard was occurring on the eggshell. The egg had frost on the top, and solid ice had formed at the bottom of the egg, signifying a special characteristic that she just couldn't decipher.
As she tightened her talons over the egg, she noticed that the egg was cracking. "Oh shit, this can't be happening! Not now you stupid dragonet!" she accidentally shouted, due to the vigor that shot through her veins.. She regretted what she said, especially the last part, but she shook her head to clear the thoughts, and turned her head. The grey dragons were still following her, but they didn't hear what she shouted, due to the howling winds of the icy storm.
She couldn't take it anymore. Her wings were aching during the strenuous flight, and she decided to land in what seemed an icy wasteland, an occasional snow owl or a wolf appearing and disappearing as fast it came. She placed the egg in the snow, burying it deep inside to protect it from the grey IceWings.
She looked at the egg one last time, with a look of hope and worry, as if that would help the dragonet to hatch a more sensible time. She covered the egg with snow, whispering her goodbyes, and she flew aggressively towards the three dragons.
Claws immediately raked against her scales, inflicted by the IceWIng who looked the weakest of the three. She roared in pain and spun around, immediately slapping her wing on the IceWIng's face.
The IceWing stumbled back, and she took the opportunity and choked him, grasping his jaw to prevent him from using his frostbreath, and she used her thumb claw to blind him. He tried to roar in pain, but what came out was nothing.
She dropped the IceWings dead body onto the icy environment and decided to turn around to check on the other two IceWings. She immediately noticed one IceWing, trying to scout of where the egg was, but she sighed in relief as the dragon was looking in the wrong direction, even polarly opposite to the general area of the egg. She was way too distracted though, and the other IceWing was hovering behind her.
She toned her ears, and she heard a faint hiss and wings flapping behind her, but she didn't move for now, in an attempt to lure the IceWing to use his deadliest weapon.
The IceWing immediately shot his frostbreath, and she barely dodged it by rolling over. Unfortunately, the frost breath hit the tip of her right wing, and she winced in the chilling, burning pain of it. She gritted her teeth, and immediately stormed into the gray IceWing, talons outstretched.
This IceWing was surprisingly smart however, contrasted to the IceWing earlier. He dodged the attack easily, by strafing to the right. The blue IceWing crashed onto the snow, and she heaved herself up and shot a look full of daggers at the gray IceWing.
They were interrupted by the other IceWing shouting, "Alpine, the egg is nowhere to be found. Shall we kill the IceWng or interrogate her?"
"We'll discuss it later Sleet. Bring your ass here and he help me fight this damned IceWing!" He retorted.
Huh, their names are Alpine and Sleet. That's nice to know, I guess, the blue IceWing thought. She used this moment to her advantage and slit Alpine's neck with her claw, and the look on that IceWing was of pure hate, and was going to haunt the blue IceWings dreams forever, if she even lived. Sleet was the real deal however.
Sleet charged into the blue IceWing, who fell down to the sheer bulk of the Icewing. Sleet tore the IceWIng's wing, and she roared in pain and threw him off. They circled around each other for a few moments, but Sleet decided to break the silence and lunged at the blue Icewing. She expected this however, and she put one of her claws up and rolled to the side, inflicting a deep wound onto Sleet's underbelly.
He roared in pain, and then quickly sliced the blue IceWIng's neck. She knew she was going to die, and she wouldn't let him live. She was desperate, and her claws did not have enough strength due to the extreme pain. Having no other choice, she pulled out her own esophagus and wrapped it around Sleet's neck, tugging it, which was easier.
They both struggled before they both died, one from asphyxiation and the other from blood loss. Their bloodied corpses were laid onto the ice before them, and a slightest hint of the fight would soon be rendered obsolete as the blizzard would bury them underneath the snow that would pile up in the aftermath of the storm.
Little did they know, a SkyWing wrapped in warm clothing, harbouring a diamond necklace was watching them intently, before flying to the area where the egg was buried.
This is going to be fun, the strange SkyWing thought ominously, before flying off in the opposite direction to evade the majority of the blizzard, her talons wrapped around the strange egg.
