Before the war , before the dragonets of destiny , but not before the nightwings moved homes , this is about Eclipse and his experience when he is kidnapped by the nightwings .

An off white dragon woke up to the sound of claws scraping on stone . This dragon was sleeping , and his purple eyes opened . He was hoping that they were dragons , because that meant that he could test his new trap .

His white wings twisted him around the grey turning chasms , the starry pattern shining all over the cave . He then twisted into a dive to see a troop of ten icewings , probably exploring the twisting caves . His crescent black claws hooked into the rough stone , as a malifecent grin stretched across his face . Little did they know , that they were about to be tricked by eclipse , the only living night and ice hybrid .

The big lead icewing was big and meaty , while all the rest were half of him . His big black eyes looked around , and then he stopped walking . Eclipse then grabbed his golden-tinted kazoole that he made , and blew in it . "is that... Walrus ?" said the dragon next to the lead , hearing the walrus call horn . "

Mmmmm... " said the lead , closing his eyes ."I can remember their call from anywhere " his eyes opened , and eclipse grabbed his spiffing machine . He strapped it to his chest , and put a filter with a walrus symbol on it . He then pushed and pulled a handle , causing a meaty smell to come out " time to feast , and follow that smell ! " said the white lead icewing , who's meaty feet made floomp ! ing noises down the caves .

As the troop ran down the hall while the smaller new flew low , eclipse glided through a higher cave , still puffing out the smell . The icewing's flew up to the cave where eclipse was running away from them he did a sharp left , sharp right , and the tight tunnel soon turned into a medium sized cave , with a big net in the middle , weaved out of sticks and melted iron . Eclipse hid behind a large stone , watching all the icewings crash into the net , that then shut at the top , leaving them all hanging like a big ball of dragons .

Eclipse then bursted out from his hiding place , his ivory cream scales glistening in the grey cave . As they all stared around on bewilderment , eclipse shot a blast of smouldering fire ice into the sky , orange and blue , twining together .He shot open his starry-night wings , and pulled on a lever on the wall . The lever then triggered his invention to react , making two small cannons shoot out white dust .

". Fear me . " he said , as the fat icewing broke the net as it fell with a crash . " run . " he said , and the icewings flew away in terror .

As soon as he was sure that they were gone , he smiled . " ha , that big chubby wimp . " he then reloaded the cannons , and put away his smell pump . He reached into a bag on his back and pulled out a pair binoculars . He strapped them to his head , and flew up , up , up into the caves . A small hole was at the top , just big enough for a head to go out . He fixed his binoculars , and saw the shapes of ten icewings , following one big lump with wings . " ha , " he said , and glided downwards . He knew that they would go back and tell all of the icewings there , and it would just become another old bar story . He then went outside from a small door , doing his usual hunting routine .

His purple eyes glares around for food , but he knew that he was full . He already caught three mice , a goat , and some sort of bird-thing , but maybe a mouse or two more and he would be happy . He trained himself at a young age to soar in the clouds so that nobody could find him . Just as he was nearing the edge of the ice kingdom , he saw a big , fat moose trotting around . Perfect , he thought , as he did a nosedive . The moose was oddly still , and just as something went ping ! At the back of his head , something hit him in the back of the head .
