Sorry that i have not been updating. I re-wrote this chapter like 15 times before i was satisfied. I originally was gonna make this a REALLY complicated family tree that included jerboa…. I decided against that. Any way…. Anyone guess who the step-sister is? (;

Sleet, and Hail belong to Leederlee

Blizzard swooped down and landed on the prey centers cliff. He turned eyeing the sunset as he waited for Quail to land. Quail crash landed next to him, his measly catch in his claws.

"Well, that seagull sure cant fly anymore!" Quail sat up munching on the bird.

Blizzard looked down at the squirrel he held in his claws. He looked around the empty prey center. Everyone that had joined Clay had all come back earlier. He and Quail trotted over to the pile of fruit. Blizzard chose a few strange looking berries and Quail chose a mango.

Does Starshine like mangos?! Quail thought frantically. Blizzard stifled a laugh and slipped into the hallway.

When he was nearly to the main cave, he heard whispering.

"The queens getting impatient." A voice growled.

"Yes i know, i spoke with her yesterday through one of the hidden gifts." another voice sounded. Blizzard froze. He recognised that voice.

"When does she want us to strike?" the first voice hissed.

"When the days are darkest. She told me to say it very vague. In case we are being eavesdropped." Blizzard took a step back. Sleet? He thought to himself. A bird let out a startled tweet and flew off. Blizzard jumped at the sound. Dang bird! Blizzard yelled in his mind.

"Someone's there." The first voice growled. He heard claws clacking on stone and he frantically looked around. He saw his tail band on his tail and quickly muttered an enchantment.

"No one's here idiot" Hail snarled as she hit Spottedice with her tail. "You are useless! I don't know why the queen insists on paying you." she snarled again. Hail rolled her eyes.

"So, did you get the scrolls?" Hail asked. Sleet nodded.

"There's one for each of us. We have to get these questions and observations logged before we take any action." She growled.

"Why do we have to meet here?" Spottedice whined, still searching around the hall.

"It's getting dark outside. No one is out here." Hail muttered. Sleet handed the scrolls out.

I have to tell Lynx! Blizzard thought. He slipped out of the cave, grateful for his power.

Blizzard skidded to a halt at Lynx's cave. He took off his tail band and put it in his library card pouch, next to the squirrel, and he came into view.

"Lynx?" he called. Sloths head peeked out from behind a hammock. Sloth frowned. Once he spotted Blizzard he frowned.

"She's over there." He growled, pointing to where Lynx was sitting with scrolls scattered and open around her.

"Thanks." Blizzard said before turning to head over to Lynx.

"It's thanks, Your majesty." Sloth snarled. Blizzard ignored him and settled down on the other side of Lynx's mini scroll explosion

"You never guess what i just heard." He whispered quickly. Lynx looked up from the scroll she was writing in.

"Hmm?" She asked.

"I overheard Sleet, Hail and Spottedice talking. I tried looking into the future but… i can't see anything about them."

"Same here. I can't see them in any future." Lynx yawned before continuing writing.

"What are you writing anyway?" Blizzard asked as he picked up one of the many scrolls scattered around.

Icewing bloodlines and family trees. Was what it was called.

"What is this?" he asked.

"I'll tell you and let you read what i'm writing but you'll have to let me see your necklace." Blizzard frowned but obeyed. He slipped the necklace over his head and traded it with Lynx for the scroll. He growled a bit as he saw her eyeing the pendant, then starting to scrape at the gold. Not greedy but, curiously. Blizzard looked down at the scroll.

My hypothesis is what the heading was. He began to read.

After Silverstorm had eggs with Storm and the false princess, animus blood spread to the icewings, the first animus tribe. My hypothesis is that Blizzard is a direct descendant from Moonshard. Many icewing family trees can support this. But since Icewings disown family members, they're family tree scrolls aren't always reliable. Paragraph 91 in Icewing bloodlines and family trees show Freezes family tree before Icewings tried to cover up what he did. I on the other talon, am descended from Storm and Silverstorm. No Icewing knows which one of them is my mother. But I do. And i have a sister….. Step-sister. One that inherited our Great-great-i'm losing count of the greats-grandfathers eye for a langu-

Blizzard looked up from the scroll. He had distracted her from finishing it. He saw that Lynx had peeled away the gold on his necklace. He let out a growl and tried to snatch it back. He froze as he saw black stone underneath.

"I'm right." Lynx whispered as she looked up from the pendant.

"About what?" Blizzard tilted his head as he asked.

"Hello cousin. Nice to meet you."
