Lynx shook her head. Idiot. But a funny one. I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! EMBRACE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY! YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE! She thought as loudly as she could to Blizzard. She held up the Icewing written scroll and read the title and author.
My entry, Unknown
I wonder why it's unknown? Lynx thought before tilting her head. She read on.
I'm the last one who truly knows. If this scroll is found by royals or first circles… this memory will be lost.
Long, long ago, years before the circles it was just the royal family and their subjects. Every year they would watch the comet go by from the highest peaks of icebergs. One year a young royal Icewing flew high enough to where she could fly alongside the low flying comet. As it was coming the queen noticed her daughter was missing. They saw her flying, a comet shooting towards her. To many, time seemed to slow. The comet hit the princess, knocking her and the comet from the air. The princess landed in front of her family, dead. The comet landed far away.
This is weird. Lynx thought, but she continued reading anyway.
A peasant Icewing and his wife found the comet on a stroll. They thought it was beautiful. The male icewing chipped two pieces of the rock away and hid the rest, in case it was worth something. Together they made their way back home. Once they were there they decided to make jewelry from the rock. The wife was a skilled jeweler and made two necklaces. One for herself and one for her husband. Little did they both know that the rock was changing the egg inside the wife.
When the eggs finally were laid and hatched, they had very peculiar little dragonet hiding inside. They were twins. One was male and one was female. They had named the female with silver crescents along her spikes, Moonshard. They named the male with silver swirls around his eyes, Silverstorm. As these dragonets grew they discovered they could do things no other icewing could. They could tell items what to do and they would obey.
One day Moonshard decided to show off an object she had enchanted. It was a polar bear cub, following her like a pet. The queen heard about this from her guards. Grief stricken from her beloved daughters death, she told the guards to kill Moonshard. One of the guards argued that she looked like the deceased princess. This had caught the queens attention. No peasant knew that her daughter was dead. The public barely knew her daughter. The queen sent out her strongest guards to Moonshards house.
The parents heard the guards approaching. They knew that the Queen would have them killed for what they wore around their necks. The father told his wife and dragonets to hide. He gave his wife his necklace. He had went outside and confronted the guards. He never came back.
The mother and dragonets ran. The mother quickly wound gold wire around one shard and silver around the other. She gave the silver one to her son and the gold to her daughter. She told them to run. And they did.
Weeks later the dragonets were found. As they tried to escape Silverstorm was caught. He was brought back to the palace. The Queen confronted him and made a deal with him. If he was able to make an ordinary icewing guard look like her lost daughter, he could marry her and become royal. Silverstorm was wary, but he did as he was told. He married the icewing he had enchanted. When they had eggs those dragonets were like him. But the queen had no use for him anymore. She just wanted his power, and a decoy daughter. Little did he know this. It was nearly to late when the assassin came to the door. He escaped, barely. Before he had escaped he left his necklace with his daughter, who he loved very much. He was on the run. One day he found a female icewing named Storm that helped him hide. These two fell in love and had eggs. But Silverstorm knew he couldn't stay. It was to dangerous. So he sat one day, knowing that it was a matter of days before he was found and killed. And he wrote this….
Lynx squinted at the strange writing. She didn't know what these symbols meant. Evergreen and Frost walked into the library. She could hear them whispering about a guy named Penguin. She began to roll her eyes but stopped as an idea popped into her head.
"Hey Evergreen! Frost! Can you guys come here?" Lynx asked. The two friends exchanged a glance. Frost whispered something and Evergreen gave her friend a shove in her direction.
"Yeah? What is it?" Frost asked, glaring at her friend.
"Can you read this?" Lynx asked, pointing to the symbols under the passage of writing.
"Yeah! That's a language that my family writes in when we don't want others to see it! It says… This scroll was written by me. I have to leave Storm and our unhatched eggs. It's for their safety. No one knows what happened. But hopefully my descendant, or my sisters will find this. I have to reveal myself. I have to die. It's to protect my loved ones. Please…. Moonshard. If your out there somewhere, please… enchant your necklace. That only your descendants can eventually re-unlock our hidden power. I've seen it… the day our power fades away.
Sincerely, Silverstorm. One of the first." Frost looked confused.
"What is this?" she exclaimed.
"To me… a clue." Lynx shrugged. Evergreen cautiously stepped to Frosts side.
"A clue to what?" She asked. Lynx avoided their gazes, not wanting to tell them anything. Frost let out a huff of annoyance. Lynx began to gather her belongings and started out of the library. She stopped and turned her head back to the two friends.
"Midnight. Here. i'll tell you then." She ordered. She saw the two friends look at each other in confusion.
Frost deserves to know. I wonder if she knows? Lynx pondered before slipping into the hall.
Sorry i haven been updating.
