(The IceWing Prophecy)
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.
The Mysterious NightWing
stared in aw at how buitfull the Ice-Caves looked. My mother had explained to me about the cercles and other things about how to act, how to hunt and how to use frost breath, witch I had never used before. The main reason is because I have terrible aim. On the way to the caves, I met another IceWing named Ermine. She was really sassy and sarcastic, I really liked her playful nature and her curiosity.
"So, can we go into the cave mother?" I asked in a hopeful tone. She slowly nodded and I entered, holding a spear, Ermine, Sleet, Tempest and Cynder joined us and we all entered the cold and dark cave.
"Ohh my, three moons! This place is so pretty!" I breathed looking around at the manny crystals hanging from the walls.
"Hay, Winter! Look!" I turned my gaze to Tempest, who was pointing at an ice statue.
"I think that's it. At least I hope it is." I muttered and I slowly approached the frozen dragon. I hesitantly jabbed the spear into the ice, and sure enough… it started to melt. And a NightWing was visible, smoke curled around her mouth as the last of the ice faded.
"Oh, there's more dragons then usual. Ohh, and a SkyWing and a SeaWing? What are you doing in a cold place like the IceWing Kingdom?" The NightWing asked, tilting her head in confusion and curiosity.
"Well, we're friends of Winter's. You see, we were raised under a mountain for most of our lives." Cynder explained, and the NightWing then turned to me.
"So, you're name's Winter? Nice to meet you. I'm Foeslayer." The NightWing said, conversationally. I just nodded and replied calmly.
"We know who you are. And we're here to get you out of here." I said, as my gaze rested on the two white shackles on Foeslayer's ankles. I then raised my head and spoke up once more.
"Those are animas-touched, aren't they?" I questioned, and Foeslayer nodded, looking shocked at how I knew so much.
"I'm a hybrid, a NightWing/IceWing, I have NightWing powers, so I could tell what they were. I too am an animas." I said, answering Foeslayer's silent questions.
"And besides, what's the point in fighting over something that happened a long time ago? I know your story. My mother, Queen Glacier, she also fell in love with a NightWing, just like how you fell in love with Prince Arctic." I said, telling the NightWing all that I knew. Said NightWing looked shocked at what I had said and revealed.
"Now, C'mon, let's all get out of here." I said, I then whispered something under my breathe.
"I command that the shackles be removed from Foeslayer." I spoke quietly but firmly, and in moments the shackles melted away, and Foeslayer was freed.
"So where will you go now?" Tempest asked, I looked at Foeslayer with the same questioning look on my face.
"I don't know, none of my family is alive. How long has it been?" Foeslayer asked, sadness in her tone. I gave a sad frown, would she really want to know the answer? I wondered to myself in worry.
"It's been about two-thousand years." I said, hesitantly as I looked down at my talons, waiting for Foeslayer's response.
"Wow, that's a lot longer then I thought. You know, you loose track of time after you've been killed and killed over and over again." Foeslayer remarked, in a jocking tone and amusement shining in her emerald green eyes.
"You seem pretty chill about the whole thing. No pun intended." Cynder spoke up in shock and a bit weirded out. I just rolled my eyes in exasperation.
"IceWing puns, so original." I teased, Playfully hitting her with my tail. Foeslayer, Sleet and Ermine just giggled quietly, while Tempest shook her head in amusement.
"Hay, you can come with us if you want Foeslayer." I said, with a soft smile in the NightWing's direction. Foeslayer nodded and we flew out of the dark caves, and out into the midday sunshine. Stange. I mused to myself as I flew down next to my mother and sister.
"So, this is Foeslayer?" My mother asked me in surprise. I nodded and introduced the older NightWing to my mother, sister and my two other batchmates.
"Yes, mother, this is Foeslayer. She was trapped in an ice-prison for two-thousand years, oh, and she's the mother of Darkstalker and Whiteout." I explained.
"Wow. I had no idea, I've never actually been in the ice-caves." My mother said, she then gave a soft smile to all of us.
"Sorry to interupt mother, but we must go back to the RainWing Village. We need to have some words with the Queen." I said giving a bow to my mother and sister, and after I promised to come back soon, we were off, flying back to the RainWing Forest home.
"You guys are back! Ohhh, and you have a new friend with you! Who is it?" We all turned to see a young RainWing dragonet about three years old, looking up at us with curiosity and excitement. Her name's Kinkajou, If I remembered correctly.
"Slow down Kinkajou, we'll explain after we talk with the Queen." I replied, with a small laugh. The smaller RainWing gave a pout but calmed down nonetheless. After that, we once again headed to speak with the RainWing Queen. I held back an annoyed huff, as we slowly entered the treehouse.
"Ohh, it's you guys again. Oh, and a new face. Who might you be?" The Queen asked, tilting her head with a lazy wave. I again suppressed the urge to make a sassy retort.
"Well, my name's Foeslayer, It's a pleasure to meet you Queen Sundue." I could clearly hear the irritation in her voice.
"Foeslayer? That's an interesting name. Nice to meet you, ohh, and let me guess… you want to know about the missing RainWing?" Sundeu asked, in a bored tone. I shook my head and looked the RainWing Queen right in the eyes.
"Not this time Queen Sundue. We came because we think that it's time for a new Queen of the RainWings." I bit out, my tone was ice cold.
"What? Are you saying that I'm not a good Queen? How dare you!" Sundue yelled, eyes burning with furry. I narrowed my eyes and glared at the RainWing Queen.
"I'm not saying that you're a bad Queen. I'm saying that you just don't care about the safety of your tribe. So, I think Mango would be a magnificent Queen of the RainWings. Do you accept our challenge?" I asked, still glaring.
Sundue growled and lashed her tail, we had obviously ticked her off. After a few more minutes, she nodded with a hotty look on her face. I hissed and after another moment, we all exited the treehouse.
