When Sky came to, her head was pounding and the world was spinning around her talons. She groaned as she wearily raised her head, blinking in a daze. A small fire crackled nearby, and Silverfinder was sitting by it, silently watching the horizon. Hollownight was dozing peacefully under the night sky. Silverfinder tilted his head slightly at his sister.

"You alright?" He asked gently.

"Fine," she managed as she shakily got to her talons. "Where are we?"

"Outside the Great Ice Wall," Silverfinder responded simply, "Not exactly sure where. We flew all day before landing. You gave us quite the scare, unconscious like that. We were afraid you weren't going to wake up."

"Well, I'm up." Sky replied as she approached her brother. "Mystic, Aurora, and Oath?"

"Safe in the kingdom," Silverfinder replied as a distant look crossed his face. "At least, I hope so."

"Good," Sky breathed as a sense of relief overcame her.

At least they could be safe, for now.

"Sky?" A puzzled voice asked, then a delighted, "SKY!"

Hollownight bounded up to them.

"Are you okay? We were so worried! I mean, how long…" Hollownight began to ramble, and Sky cut him off.

"I'm fine, Hollownight, I just woke." Sky told him with an amused smile. "So, what's the plan?"

"Well, I was thinking we could head to the SkyWing kingdom. See what we find there," Silverfinder replied.

"What were the lines about the SkyWings again?" Hollownight asked curiously.

"The ones of Sky to end the ending, to stop the darkness from descending," Sky quoted distantly.

Silverfinder snorted. "Well, that's helpful. That basically leaves every freaking SkyWing in the kingdom open for the prophecy."

"Quick question, or rather, questions," Hollownight piped, "What are we going to do? I mean, we can't just walk in there and ask Queen Garnet to hand over three SkyWings for a secret ancient prophecy."

"We're going on the whole grand fate thing, right?" Sky pointed out. "We should just focus on getting there, and see where things go from there."

"Have you ever thought it strange your name was Sky?" Silverfinder questioned particularly. "I mean, there's already the SkyWings. Isn't that kind of disrespectful on mother's part?"

Clawing at the ground, Sky wondered, "I- I suppose. I just never really thought about it, I guess."

"So, we need to get to the Sky Kingdom, find three SkyWings who will just happen to agree to go on this great and perilous quest, find dragons from ever tribe in Pyrrhia, and fulfill an ancient prophecy no one's even heard of?" Hollownight said in disbelief. "Is anyone even going to believe us? They'll think we're crazy!"

"Not to mention what Mother and the IceWings will do," Silverfinder added quietly. "They'll be hunting us, we're on the run."

"We're fugitives," Sky said in shock, "The fugitive heirs."

Sky laughed in disbelief.

"Three moons, are lives are insane," she breathlessly stated.

"Tell me about it," Hollownight grumbled, before adding, "We should probably get going soon."

"We want to get to the Sky Kingdom as soon as possible." Sky agreed.

Before they could take off, Silverfinder interrupted, "Wait. Sky, how much of the prophecy do you know?"

Sky paused.

"All… all of it," She stammered. "It's like, it's like permanently seared into my brain."

"What was the part about us again?" Silverfinder pressed. "It may help to try to decipher the prophecy as we go along."

"The ones of Ice, of cold and dark, three as one, they shall bear the mark," Sky recalled.

"Cold and dark makes sense, we're NightWing-IceWing hybrids," Silverfinder noted, "But… bear the mark? What mark?"

"Can we do this later?" Hollownight huffed, "I don't know about you, but I'm getting restless. Who knows how far behind the guards are?"

"My spell will hold," Silverfinder said stiffly, "They can't find us."

"Unless Father cast a spell of his own, which seems pretty likely," Hollownight shot back.

"Both of you please stop it," Sky said quietly. "Silverfinder, we don't doubt your abilities, but we can talk about the prophecy on the way. The sooner we get to the Sky Kingdom the better, right?"

"Let's go." Silverfinder relented.

The three took to the sky, unaware of the glass orb revealing the location of the three dragonets to three figures cloaked in shadows.
