Chapter One
No! thought Smolder. She can't have an egg! That will put the Scorpion Den and the castle in mortal danger! Cactus wants a throne, and one way for him to get it is for him to take the Queen's child. And if he knew it was mine, he'd kill it just to spite me. No, this is very not good. Meanwhile, back at the palace, Thorn was speaking with Viper, one of the former fake dragonets of destiny. She had faked her death in a lava river in the old Nightwing kingdom so that she could go back to the Talons of Peace and to her family. Flame and Ochre soon returned also, and Squid was already there. Nautilus was no longer leader of the Talons, instead it was some other fish-nosed Seawing. But, since she was one of the only Talons that was a Sandwing, she was selected to go to the palace. It had been about eight months since Thorn last spoke to Smolder, about the egg. Now she was asking Viper to take the egg to the Talons of Peace, and raise the dragonet there. Smolder had told her that their child was in grave danger, so Thorn was going to send the egg with Viper to the Talons to keep it safe. "Here. This is the egg. Keep it safe. If anyone ever asks, Ostrich is the mother and the father is dead. Six-claws refused to allow his daughter to have a dragonet, so he made her give it up. Understood?" Thorn was adamant that no one knew she had another child. If this Desert dragon found out about her child and stole it, she would be unforgivable by anyone. Viper nodded, took the egg, and flew off with Thorn's child. So, what should I name Thorn's daughter? Review and let me know!
