A/N: Hello! Well I'm going to keep this quick, this is my second ever story and my first one about Wings of Fire I was previously writing about the Hunger games but I sort of lost interest in the story if you want to check it out its called The Sea Never Forgets Anyway this story takes place right after Darkness of dragons, (except ignore the entire epilogue of that book). I don't think I have any thing else so with that enjoy the prologue!

The Cool icy wind whipped at Lynx's face as she stood guard at the palace gates. Hailstorm walked up to her although she could barely see him as the blizzard continued to pick up intensity.

" What are you doing out here" He yelled as he came into view. " Watching the palace so no one breaks in " Lynx replied smugly smiling at Hailstorm.

Hailstorm snorted before walking in to the palace, the doors swinging shut behind him. She sighed, the plague that had nearly wiped out the Ice wing tribe had happened almost 4 years ago. Those four years ago were when the battle of Jade Mountain had occurred. She was 10 now, and higher in the ranks than ever.

She thought back to the fateful day and remembered how she had almost died when Winter of all dragons had saved her. She remembered thinking he had died and also remembered the feelings she felt as the realization that he was alive had come crashing down on her that day.

The doors to the palace swung open again and Hailstorm walked back out holding a spear he had a grim look on his face Lynx was about to say something when Snowfall walked out, Lynx quickly fell into a bow as did the other guards around her.

She whipped her head around " as you were" she said as she stalked off to who knows where. Hailstorm Remained where he was. As Lynx lifted her head back she asked Hailstorm,

"where is she going". Hailstorm shrugged "I don't know,'' he said, in a moment he was pressed up against Lynx really close " listen I don't have much time but listen, we need to leave tonight me and you".

"Meet me at the courtyard at midnight and we'll leave ok?, good". Almost as quickly as he had been there he was gone following the queen to who knows where.

Approximately at 12:04 Hailstorm's talons hit the snowy ground as Lynx stared at him with almost zero emotion. " well look who decided to show up" Lynx said the lightest bit of sarcasm playing at her voice.

Hailstorm shook the snow off his wings. " alright it's time to leave" he said grabbing the bag Lynx had packed. " No" Lynx said grabbing the bag back form Hailstorm. " not until you tell me what the heck is going on!"

Lynx didn't plan to run away unless Hailstorm had one really good reason but she would fly after him if he left, with permission of course.

"Listen" Hailstorm said, " I know you're quite loyal to the cause, but the Icewing tribe is having some second thoughts." "From what the queen's told me a lot of circle 7 dragons have been tossing around rebellious ideas." " what does that have to do with us?" Lynx cut in

" Part of it is because I partially agree with some of the ideas" Lynx let out a gasp before slowly nodding her head " When I think about I have similar thoughts everyday now "

Hailstorm nodded his head " the last straw was what our cousin, Snowfall told me today " he paused for a moment before looking up again " Her and my mother wants an arranged marriage" Lynx eyes widened.

" To who?" she questioned. Hailstorm looked up with sadness in his eyes " To You"
