Authors note: I just want to explain that this fic takes place before the Darkstalker incident. Even after it happens Queen Glacier will still survive because I know nothing about Princess Snowfall, and I haven't read book 14 yet.

1 Hour before the arrival of THK…

Queen Thorn was sitting in her favorite tent nervously pacing around with six-claws and Qibli with her. "Thorn, relax! You're going to give yourself a panic attack if you keep panicking like this." Six-claws said trying to calm her down. "How can I relax?!" Thorn exclaimed. "This is my first royal meeting and it's with Queen Glacier! Do you not know the Icewing standers?" She said. "If this doesn't go perfectly the Icewing's will think I'm a joke! She arrives in 15 minutes, and I don't even have a script prepared!" Thorn was breathing so heavily that you could hear her outside the tent. "By the moons, I'm screwed!" suddenly a Sandwing entered the tent. "Your majesty, Queen Glacier of the Icewing's has arrived." Thorn started panicking even more at the news. "Here, NOW?! The messenger said she would be here in 15 minutes!" Thorn exclaimed. "Yes, they did say that." Said the Sandwing. "But Queen Glacier stared flying just 5 minutes after her, so the timing was inadequate." Thorn wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, but then Glacier would think she was crazy. "Fine." Said thorn. "Bring her in."

When Queen Glacier entered the tent, Thorn knew she wasn't messing around. (Not that Thorn expected her to.) She had that look of slight disapproval on her face. "Greetings, Queen Glacier." Thorn said, trying to sound regal "Hello Queen Thorn." Glacier responded. Thorn was getting more nervous by the second. "I would like to discuss the state of Sandwings and Icewings alliance." Thorn got EXTREMELY nervous after hearing that. She knew next to nothing about that topic, but she knew she had to impress Queen Glacier if she wanted to keep her as an ally. "Very well then." Thorn said. "First, I would like to talk about the land I was promised if Blaze won the war."

1 hour later…

"Very well then." Thorn said. "As promised, you will get your land." Glacier smiled at that. "Thank you, Queen thorn." Glacier said. "Perhaps you will make a better queen than I first thought." Thorn felt like she had just lost 50 pounds after hearing that. "Thank you, queen Glacier." Thorn said. "You're very welcome." She responded. "Well, I best be on my wa-" queen Glacier was cut off by an ear pricing screech. Seconds later, the sounds of blades colliding, and fire breathing was heard. "What's going on?!" Thorn exclaimed with panic in her voice. As Thorn rushed out of the tent, she saw the cause of all the chaos.

A creature that looked a lot like the recent guest they had found was swinging its blade around and killing every dragon that got too close. "BY THE MOONS, WHAT IS THAT?!" Glacier screamed. Thorn didn't know what to do, panic overwhelmed her and stopped her from thinking straight. She couldn't form a proper strategy. Just then, an Icewing landed beside Glacier. "Your majesty, the gift of binding!" Roared the Icewing. Glacier nodded and ran straight for the beast. "WHAT IS SHE DOING?!" Thorn thought in a panic. Queen Glacier stood on her hind legs and wristbands together twice making a metal banging sound, suddenly, chains erupted out of them and chained up the best as it fell to the ground. Thorn was dumbfounded at the sight. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" Thorn yelled. "The gift of binding." Glacier explained. "Is one of our lesser-known animus gifts. Given only to the queen, these wristbands allow the queen to shoot unbreakable chains at the enemy to easily neutralize the threat. It has saved us from defeat many times in battle." The beast was roaring so loud that Glacier had to say this directly into her ear. "Well, whoever made that must have been a genius." Thorn said. "They were made by an animus named penguin." Glacier said. "Well, were safe now."

Glacier immediately took that back that last part after the beast broke out of the chains.

"But how?!" One of the Icewing's said. Those were their last words as the beast decapitated 5 dragons with a single blow from its blade. Queen Glacier looked absolutely horrified. "H-HOW?!" She screamed with terror in her voice. That terror increased dramatically when the beast slowly turned its head to Glacier with a look of absolute fury. "YOU…DEAD…NOW!" it roared as it ran towards Glacier at terrifying speed. Glacier somehow managed to dodge the attack by a centimeter and breathed ice breath at its legs and torso immobilizing it temporarily. "FLY AWAY!" Glacier roared. "WE CAN'T BEAT IT!" The Icewing's immediately followed their order and flew away as fast as they could. "I thought a great queen never accepted defeat." Thorn said. "Yes, that is true." Said Glacier. "But a greater queen knows to retreat if their subjects are being massacred like they were down there." She finished.

Thorn decided to do that as well. "YOU HEARED QUEEN GLACIER! RETREAT!" Thorn yelled. The Sandwings started fleeing for their lives as the beast still tried to kill them all. The beast roared so loudly that Thorn covered her ears to prevent her from going deaf. She was still horrified at the thought of that beast killing so many dragons in a single blow, and it would stay with her for all her days.

Authors note: Oh yeah, the story is all coming together. For my first fanfic I am surprised that I am doing this well, a few people are favoriting this story. Wow, I am just amazed. Thank you all so much, it really means a lot!
