Through a stormy night, a lonely icewing travels through the mountains and cliffs of the sky queendom, in his talons, a large skywing egg, part of the dragonet prophecy. The icewing holds it tight, looking to his back constantly to avoid being discovered.
'May the Great Ice Dragon look up for both of us…' his mind rushes in thoughts as he passes by a cliff.
From a hidden lair, three sandwings surface, they have been waiting for him, and with a single move of her tail, the two sandwings begin the pursue. The icewing doesn't notice at first, but then it was too late.
The sandwings grab him and bring him to the cliff, where the third one, only appearing as a cloaked figure, patiently awaits.
"Leave it alone!" the icewing yelled, but was soon chained by the snout.
"He was carrying this, queen Blister." One of them said, as he gave the egg to Blister, her slanderous body twitched as she grabbed the egg, poisoned looking at it.
"Well, well, if isn't the skywing egg of the prophecy. Tomorrow, the brightest night, the dragonets will hatch, to stop the war from spreading horror."
Blister snaked her way towards Hvitur, reaching really close to his ears.
"Your petty group must be really desperated… To think a bunch of dragonets will stop a war."
"Your majesty, Blister… P-Please, listen to me…"
"Oww hehe, bargains? I am all ears, my dear"
"T-The dragonets, they will organize a peace deal, choose the next queen! What if they choose you? If you were on their side? W-We can train them to!"
Blister grimed, and laughed loudly delighted, as the storm and the lightnings raged around them. Her soldiers awkwardly laughed with her.
She grabbed his neck, tight, nearly chocking him.
"What is this… Fairy tale you tell me? Some icewing tale I never heard about?"
She releases him from her grasp and he coughed.
"Your dragonets are useless to me, IceWing. So as my delight with your presence running out."
"W-Wait! I… I… Look, I have information you might consider useful!"
"…Proceed."
"Queen Glacier intends to attack Burn's forces in the next weeks, if you could gather your allies and attack her at the same time, this could be the end of the pretender!"
Blister's expression lighted in delight, as if she was never serious at all. She circled Hvitur by, as if analyzing him, thinking with herself.
"Hmm… Hmm.. Ah, Perfect. Gathering the strength of Scarlet's forces and Coral's, I could overwhelm Burn once for all. Yes…"
"P-Please… I told you all I know, as a mere soldier. Release the egg, I will promise, we will make them vote on you!"
Blister looked at the egg for a moment, before ordering her guards to release Hvitur from the chains. She smiled slightly, even creepily. She walked through the cliff towards him, before extending her arm to give him the egg.
Hvitur grabbed the egg and was ready to take off, when Blister held his shoulder for a moment, snaking towards his ears.
"One thing my dear… I know you are bluffing…"
As delighted as she could ever be, Blister hit Hvitur's back with her barbed tail, through his heart, as he roared in pain but swiftly was silenced and fell off the cliff. Blister acted fast and had grabbed the egg while he was on the fall.
She looked the egg for a moment, and then casually tossed it down the cliff as well.
"Y-Your majesty?!" One of the soldier said, in disbelief
"Don't bother. Scarlet will buy whatever explanation I give her. I am unconcerned with the fate of that egg, only with this underground movement Scarlet's too oblivious to act against. Regardless, lets get moving,"
