Wings of Sea, Sky and future sight.

Fear the ones who seek to conquer.

These dragons will end this fight of blood and tears,

These Dragons will change the fate of this destroyed land,

They will be the peacemakers in this land of darkness and betrayal.

These dragons will find the eye that sees the truth.

Together these dragons form the Wings of Fire.

And the time for peace will be right.

To The IceWing Kingdom

"Hay, wait. I want to help you guys." We all turned to see Janbu, he was flying as fast as he could.

"Are you sure? We'll be heading to the IceWing Kingdom." I asked in concern, I wasn't sure if he would want to fly through snow and ice… oh, and a part of the SandWing Kingdom.

"Yeah, I want to help find the missing RainWings. I can't just sit and chase my tail all day." He replied, a frown mixed with determination showing on his face.

"It's s-so cold." Mango squeaked. We had decided to go in serch of the missing RainWings instead, we'll deal with the new RainWing Queen situation later.

"Well, we're near the borders of the IceWing Kingdom." Shadow replied, in his know it all voice.

I just gave an annoyed sigh as we kept on flying.

"Hay Winter? Do you think you're scales are full recovered yet?" Tempest asked with a worried but hopeful look on her face. I just shrugged in responce.

"I'm not sure Tempest, I don't want to risk it, so I'm playing it safe until tomorrow." I replied, we all suddenly all halted in place when there were some IceWings in the distance.

"IceWing patrol?" I wondered, I was hopeing that they won't see us. I thought a little worldly. We were all hiding behind a huge rock… or was it a sand dune? I wondered in confusion.

"Psst, Winter, you and I could see if we could talk to the queen." I turned to see that Mango had shifted her scales to match that of an IceWings. I slowly nodded and turned to see Janbu doing the same.

"Be careful you three. And don't get lost." Shadow scolded, giving us a serious look. We nodded and flew in the direction of the palice.

"Maybe we'll meet Blaze." I remarked with a thoughtful look on my face. We had reached the entrance of the palace, but we were stopped by some guards.

"You three, hault! What's your Businesswith the queen?" A SandWing guard asked, pointing a spear at us.

"We're messengers for Queen Glacier. We have an important message for Queen Blaze." I replied in cool and composed tone of voice. Another SandWing stared at us for a moment before nodding and leading us inside.

"Alright, what are you'rr names?" He asked, in a gruff voice.

"My name's Winter, and these two are Frost and Snowstorm." I replied quickly and calmly.

"Wow, those paintings are really artistic and pretty. Did Queen Blaze paint all of those?" I remarked, and the SanWing looked surprised.

"Really? You do? And yes, Queen Blaze loves to paint, she always has, eben a young dragonet. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm getting off on a tangent. You three aren't as grumpy as other IceWings we've scene. Usually, the IceWings that we see, they just scoff and gruble about how there's no ice and snow." I gave a look to Mango and replied.

"Well we're more appreciative then most if not all of the IceWings. We've been stuck in the palace for so long that we were practically begging the Queen to let us deliver this message." I said, thinking of a quick reply in a matter of seconds.

"Queen Blaze, you have some visitors." The SandWing spoke up bowing to the youngest SandWing Princess.

"Ohh, guest, I don't have guests very often. Smolder, please bring our guests something to drink and something to eat, would you please?" Blaze asked excitedly, and the SanWing bowed and went to get the requested items.

"You're really beautiful Queen Blaze." I remarked with a polite smile. Blaze just smiled and gave a kind smile.

"You flatter me. But I'm not the Queen yet. Oh, I'm so impolite, I haven't asked you what you're names are, have I?" Blaze said, giving an apologetic smile.

"It's no problam. My name's Winter, and those two are Frost and Snowstorm. I'ts very nice to meet you Queen Blaze." I said, bowing politely to the SandWing.

"Oh my, more guests? I wasn't expecting that." Blaze exclaimed in surprise as we turned to see the other dragonets and another strange NightWing enter the room.

"Sorry Winter, we tried to keep him, but he got away and we gave chase." Cynder explained as she caught her breath.

"Oh who might you young dragonet's be?" Blaze asked, tilting her head in confusion. I took a deep breath and explained our message.

"We're the Dragonet's of Destiny. The ones from the prophecy, all of us except that NightWing and the older RainWing." I said, and Janbu shifted his scales back to normal, as did Mango.

You are? Really? What are you're names?" Blaze asked with excitemint.

"The SeaWing is Tempest, the SkyWing is Cynder, the NightWing is Shadow, the smaller RainWing is Mango, and I'm the IceWing/NightWing hybrid Winter. But you already know me." I said, gesturing to each of my friends and to myself with a talon.

"Ooo, you really are then. But… then who is this NightWing?" She asked and he raised his spear in response.

"My name's Deathbringer, and I'm here to kill Blaze." He said, pointing his spear at the SandWing in response to his statement.

"You can't do that! You can't just kill someone for no reason!" I yelled, baring my sharp white teeth at the NightWing. I opened my mouth, but instead of ice, fire and smoke formed. I sprayed it at the unprepared NightWing, he yelped in surprise and lept backwards.

"Winter? You can breathe fire?" Tempest asked, in amazement and shock. I just gave a toothy grin in response.

"I'm part NightWing. Remember?" I replied, tilting my head to the side.

"Yeah, I guess I did." The SeaWing replied, with a sheepish grin, I just laughed and turned back to glare at Deathbringer.

The next thing we knew, everything happened in an instant. Deathbringer leapt straight for Blaze's heart, but I jumped in the way of his path. I let out a yowl of pain when my still recovering wigs were slashed. The gashes weren't very long, but blood was gushing out from the woonds. I hissed in pain and faster then I could blink, Blaze had removed the blankit from her shoulders, and she raised her poisonous barbed tail, and she slashed Deathbringer in the side.

The NightWing fell to the ground, screaming in pain. Blaze pulled away in shock at what she had just done. I looked up at her through darkening vision and I collapsed to the floor with a thud. The last thing I heard was running talons and frantic shouts of my name, then the darkness claimed me and I slipped into unconsciousness.

I awoke slowly, I could here frantic voices, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. Everything was muffled, I tried to speak, but all that came out was a pained grown. The voices immediately halted, and I heard the sound of running talons, i looked up to see the relieved faces of my friends. I slowly sat up and I tucked my tail around my talons, Cynder was just opening her mouth to speak, when a knocking at the door made us all turn to the entrance, to see a young IceWing slowly enter.

Right then, I felt a really bad headache come to the front of my mind, a vision! I realized with surprise. I cluched my head with my talons, as strange words were spilling out of my mouth.

"When darkness falls upon the land,

When dragons fight for a rightful Queen.

Three sisters, two will fall,

And one is left standing alone.

Wings of Night, Ice and Rain,

Wings of Sea, Sky and future sight.

Find the dragons of full moons bright,

Fear the dragons of Night and Ice.

Fear the ones who seek to conquer.

These dragons will end this fight of blood and tears,

These dragons will change the fate of this destroyed land,

They will be the peacemakers in this land of darkness and betrayal.

These dragons will find the eye that sees the truth.

Together these dragons form the Wings of Fire.

And the time for peace will be right."

I removed my talons from my head as I looked up at my friends. They all looked shocked and confused. I understood why... I had never told them about my visions or NightWing powers... oh well... I can't do anything about it now, my secret's out.

"Winter? Was... was that… a-a... a prophecy?" Shadow asked, staring at me in amazement. I nodded. And explained that I have had NightWing powers for years, but I never told them because I was to scared of how they would react. I still am scared… how will they react? Will they be afraid of me? I worried, my tail twitching back and forth in anxiety. However… I slowly raised my head when Cynder spoke up excitedly.

"You're a seer? Are you also a mindreader?" Cynder exclaimed in surprise, I nodded and spoke up.

"Yes, I'm a mindreader and a seer. I'm also an Animus." I replied with a wide smile.

"So... What now?" Mango asked, tilting her head to the side. I thought for a moment before replying.

"Well, first, my wings need to heal. Then we can go back to the RainWing Village, and we can talk some sense into the queen.." I replied and they nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I agree with Winter, the RainWing Queen needs to care more about her subjects. I also agree that you need more rest. So go to sleep Winter." Tempest said, looking at me with a knowing look.

I gave a pout and playfully wacked thr SeaWing with my tail. But she was right, I need to rest, and to be honist I did feel drained, especially after having that vision. And in the end, we all decided to take a much need rest.

When we all awoke, it was dark outside, to be fare, it had been flying for two days streight. None of us knew the IceWing Kingdom very well, so we just stayed put in the room and made small talk.

Just then, two dragons entered the room, we looked up from our quiate conversation to the IceWing from yesterday, and another IceWing. But before any of us to open our mouths to speek, the older IceWing spoke.

"Hello little ones, my name is Queen Glacier, and this is my daughter, Princess Hail." We all stared in surprise for a moment, but then we regained our composure. We all gave a polite bow to the Queen and her daughter.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Queen Glacier." I replied, with a polite smile.

"Young IceWing, you're a hybrid aren't you?" Glacier asked in wonder and I nodded. She then took on a thoughtful look.

"Mother, doesn't her scales look like Fathers?" Hail chimed in, I tilted my head in confusion.

"Your Father? Was he a NightWing?" I asked in curiosity. Glacier tilted to head and replied after a moment of silence.

"Yes my husband was a NightWing, his name was Shadowclaws. What's your name young One?" She asked, I replied in a calm and cool voice.

"My name's Winter." I replied, with a wide smile. It was silent for a moment before Glacier replied.

"Well, Winter. There's something I need to tell you, your my daughter. You Hail's older sister." I just blinked and looked from my friends to Queen Glacier in surprise.

"Wait, so... so... I'm a Princess?" I spluttered out in disbelief and happiness. I had finnaly found my mother, but I never would have guessed that I was a lost IceWing Princess.

"Yes you are, your egg was stolen from the IceWing royal hatchery. So I've gotta ask, do you have NightWing powers? Can you breath both fire and frost breath?" My mother asked, I just nodded rapidly in response.

"Yeah, you should have been there earler. She apparently is a seer, mindreader and an Animus." Mango said excitedly.

"Ohh my, wow, that's amazing! You're sister doesn't have powers, but she has a small patch of black scales under her wings and her tail." Glacier explained excitedly.

"Hay, mother? Do you know where the Ice Caves are?" I asked, hoping that I could save Foeslayer from her imprisonment.

"Y-yes I do... but... why do you want to know that Winter?" My mother asked in confusion. I took a deep breathe and I explained what I jnew about Prince Arctic and Foeslayer's story of love and hardship.

"Hay! Winter!" I turned to see one of the other IceWings from yesterday, Sleet was her name if I remembered correctly. We had become fast friends in those short few hours earlier that morning.

"Hay Sleet! Over here!" I called out happily, waving the other IceWing over with a still bandaged wing.

"You already met Queen Glacier I see. She's amazing, isn't she?" Sleet said excitedly. I just grinned and replied with a wide smile.

"Yeah, she is, hay sleet guess what?" I asked the IceWing. Sleet just shrugged and I answered with a wide smile.

"Queen Glacier is my mother, I'm a Princess. That's still hard to wrap my talons around." I said, still miffed about the whole thing.

"Really? Are you serious? That's so cool!" The IceWing exclaimed in excitement, as she gave me a tight hug. I just smiled awkwardly and hugged her back..
