"Your majesty, you have a visitor. It's the IceWing queen," the pink-scaled servant announced as he trotted into the throne room.
The SkyWing queen straightened up as she remained seated in her throne. "Is there anyone else with her, Mockingbird?"
He shook his head. "No, she came here alone."
"Bring her in. You're excused. Thank you," she responded, nodding.
Mockingbird bowed down. "Of course," he chirped. He then swiftly padded out. As Mockingbird left, the SkyWing queen saw a silver-scaled dragon enter. A smirk appeared the red-scaled SkyWing.
"I've seen you come back sooner than I thought, Pika, and you came alone this time. I know the distance from your kingdom to her is very long, even during flight. So, tell me, what do you come for? Surely it's for something important, right?" she greeted.
Pika chuckled, "Yes, I've come here for an important reason. I see we're alone in your throne room, my dear Ibis. Excellent!"
"And what is that important reason?" questioned Ibis.
"Well, I've noticed that our two tribes have become much stronger together. Our alliance have improved both of our militaries, and it's quite obvious to see I hope," the IceWing queen began.
"That doesn't quite answer my question, Pika."
Pika continued, "I think there's a way to make our alliance stronger. With how it seems like SandWings and NightWings are always after us, I think now it's a better time to build a stronger one at a time like this. With how close our tribes are already, why don't we bring them closer together?"
"And how are we going to do that?" Ibis asked, confused.
"As soon as I thought of this, I knew it would be perfect. Listen, I would never do this with any other tribe. I may have a decent alliance with the MudWings for a long time, but I would never ever think about doing this with them. But I trust you and your tribe, Ibis," babbled Pika.
"So tell me what it is," grunted Ibis.
"An arranged marriage!" Pika exclaimed, making Ibis flinch. She continued, "Think about it. Two members of our family could marry each other, creating a forever strong bond with our two tribes. Hell, the two could even lead a small a miniature army of their own between our two kingdoms, fighting off other tribes who attack. Think of the possibilities, Ibis! My dear daughter, Solstice, will be the bride, but this all up to you."
Ibis was deep in thought, not responding as quickly as she usually did. It was unheard of for two dragons from different tribes to get married. It was usually shamed upon in the Sky Kingdom due to their strong pride in their tribe. While Ibis knew it couldn't damage their alliance, it did have a chance to strengthen both SkyWings and IceWings. While it didn't make sense to her yet, Ibis was willing to try it. It could even get one of her sons off her back for the time being, which would be a good day for her any day.
Ibis stepped down from her throne, standing in front of Pika. She completely towered over the silver-scaled IceWing. Pika stared up at the SkyWing with hope in her eyes. Ibis could see how much the IceWing wanted this. It was almost adorable to just stare at Pika with how hopeful and joyful she looked in the moment.
"I have a son that would make a good groom. His name's Robin. I think he'll be good to Solstice," Ibis responded.
"Well, it's great to see you're on board with this," Pika chuckled.
"Whenever you're free, we can discuss this further."
"Actually, I'm completely free right now."
