It had been another three years by now. Queen Glacier and King Frostbite had another Daughter, both their parents decided to name their second Daughter Snowfall since she hatched on the day a heavy snowfall had occurred, yet unlike Crystal, Snowfall was a lot more relaxed as a hatchling, only creating mayhem on a few occasions.

This went on for about a year, Crystal and Snowheart had kept their little sister under control, and Snowheart being the eldest child meant he had a lot of responsibility in not only looking after his sisters and always being there for them, but also being the best role model for them.

"Bye Mother, bye Father, I love you both!" Snowfall chirped out, grabbing her bag as she went to where Snowheart and Crystal were waiting. "You got your things Snowfall?" Snowheart questioned, looking out for Snowfall as she was still a young dragonet. Only twice had Snowheart come across a small group of male dragons picking on Snowfall, yet as soon as they spotted the rather large dragonet they fled the scene, with a few bruises and cuts since the leader had become aggressive towards the Prince and Princess.

Today was another one of those days as Snowheart came around a corner of the ice school, spotting five Icewings circling his sister who cowered slightly in a corner. "Hey!, you ungrateful walrus idiots! Leave my sister alone!" Snowheart growled, his tail lashing as he got into a combat stance his Father had taught him.

"Leave...My...Sister...Alone" Snowheart growled out, to which the lead Icewing laughed at, looking back at his goons as they too laughed. "Is this Royal boy serious!" He then looked back at Snowheart, noticing that Snowheart stood at least a head taller than him. "You know I'm the bully who runs this pathetic school right"

"Yeah, and I'm going to do something about your filth, something you will regret"

"Oooo, I'm so scared of what the prince boy is going to do!" He then pointed a claw at Snowfall, hissing out loudly. "Your sister here is nothing but a waste of scales, and you can't stop me from hurting her! She acts so weak and ungrateful!" The lead bully spat, a look of disgust on his face while Snowfall had a few tears run down her face, Snowheart moved to stand in front of her, shielding her from any harm as the lead bully gave a few punches to Snowheart, punching him in the chest and snout, yet on the fifth punch, Snowheart grabbed the lead bully's fist, twisting his arm just enough to cause pain, yet not enough to snap his arm, growling out as he spoke. "I warned you" He then punched the bully, sending them backwards as they rolled backwards, doing a backwards somersault due to the force of the punch.

Feeling that his sister was in immediate danger, he turned to her, giving her a soft smile before he turned back to the five Icewings, seeing the lead bully stand back up and then command the five Icewing goons to circle Snowheart. He suddenly grabbed one of the Icewing goons, throwing him against the high circle school wall. The force of the impact left a few cracks in the wall as he spun around, curling his right forepaw into a fist, throwing an uppercut punch, knocking a few teeth out as blue blood splatted onto the snow-covered ground.

Meanwhile, Snowfall watched on with wide eyes, watching as her Brother took on five of the most feared bullies in the high circle school, dodging throws and weaving around them in an almost fluid way. She then saw the lead Icewing looking at her, making his way over to her while her brother continued his assault, throwing a series of punches so fast that the two Icewings were unable to fight back. When the four Icewings he had fought fell to the ground holding their wounds he had inflicted, Snowheart then turned to see the lead Icewing stalking towards Snowfall.

(Oh no you don't!) Snowheart thought to himself, making his way towards where the lead bully was.

"Snowheart! Help!" Snowfall cried out as she was backed into the corner, the Icewing who was larger than her was about ready to grab her when Snowheart grabbed him, lifting him before throwing him away from his sister. He then proceeded to launch himself at the Icewing, tackling him to the ground only to throw him against the school wall. Dodging a swing from the slightly larger Icewing, he Pinned him to the wall, snarling in his face before he began to punch him. They were more powerful punches, yet more time between each one.

"Leave...My...Sister...ALONE!" Screaming out he gave one more punch to the snout, a large cracking sound could be heard as the Icy wall had cracks ripping through it, yet the cracks stopped before they caused any major damage.

Meanwhile, Snowfall had scurried off into the school, going to get the headmistress who came marching out, looking on in disbelief at the carnage that was in front of her, seeing that Snowheart had taken down three of the most dominant bullies with ease. "Prince Snowheart! That is enough!" She cried out, seeing that the lead bully, who went by Icehunter, let out a cough of blood, falling onto the snowy ground unconsciously.

Snowheart instantly rushed past everyone, calling out for his sister along the way in panic as she was nowhere to be seen. "Snowfall! Where are you!" His eyes darted around, looking for the telltale sign of his sister, who was the only female Icewing with a Princess Tiara on. When he finally found her, he saw her sobbing silently to herself in one of the classrooms, it broke his heart to see his sister cry like this, he moved towards her, seeing her ears flick up as she called out.

"S-s-snowh-heart" Hiccupping from her heavy crying, tears had streamed down her cheeks. He felt his heart beat painfully to see her so upset, lowering himself, he protectively curled around his sister, covering her with one of his wings while keeping his head high, keeping a lookout to make sure no one jumped them.

"I-it was terrible, t-t-they w-wanted m-m-my t-ti-ara" He heard her struggle to get her words out, rubbing his paws along her chest before bringing her in for a hug, gently rocking back and forth while he hummed a soft tune to her.

Unknowingly to them, General Icesheet had seen the whole fight, having been hidden behind one of the ice pillars, watching the way Snowheart fought while dodging the oncoming attacks from the three Icewings, her eyes suddenly widened in shock and a bit of fear when Snowheart punched the main bully's snout, cracking the ice wall the bully was pinned to.

"So much power... unbelievable... he will make a fine soldier!" She then left the scene, snow crunching under her paws as she made her way back to the palace, which wasn't that far away due to the School being for third circle and above dragons.

A messenger burst into the meeting room, panting as she then spoke "Your majesty! There has been a commotion at the high circle school involving Snowheart!" At this, Both Queen Glacier and King Frostbite left the meeting to go to the school. "What on three moons has he done?" Frostbite questioned with concern, padding beside his mate as they made their way into the main danger hall, the entrance led to the outside as the cold icy breeze blew against them gently.

They left the comforts of the palace, snow crunching under their paws while they made their way to the school.

"Your majesty!" The headmistress bowed towards the two royals, yet stopped talking when Glacier raised a paw to her, telling her to stop. "Tell me everything at once" She narrowed her eyes at the smaller Icewing dragoness, seeing her cower slightly under her gaze. "W-well you see, Snowfall came rushing in, saying that her brother was defending her from the group of bullies who are well known. W-when I came out, I saw he had completely dismantled the group, there was blood and a few teeth scattered all over the snow!" She then fell quiet as the Queen seemed to be thinking, her eyes seemingly staring through her as if she didn't exist.

"Take me to my son at once" She finally answered the headmistress, who quickly nodded, not wanting to cause any more trouble as she led the way into the school and towards her main office where Snowheart and Snowfall were sitting.

Entering the room, Snowfall got up and rushed over to Glacier, hugging her mother who picked her daughter up, hugging her back while Frostbite looked at Snowheart who looked down in shame. He lowered his head, whispering to his son. "No need to feel shame Snowheart, you did very well in defending your sister, even if you had to get some injuries along the way" Glacier heard this as she let out a snort. "You mister are in deep trouble when we get back to our royal sleeping quarters" She shook her head, her earrings clinking against her scales

Upon the family making their way back to their sleeping room, Glacier closed the doors behind her before spinning around and glaring at her son. "What on three moons were you think Snowheart! You could have gotten seriously hurt or even killed!" She made her way up to her son, staring down at him while he stared back at her, a look of determination in his eyes.

"I did it for Snowfall, you and Father have always told me to be a role model for my sisters and defend them whenever they need help," He said to her, reminding his Mother of the saying she had said years ago.

Glacier's gaze softened slightly, her frown getting less as she then threw her wings around Snowheart, pulling him in for the best hug ever as he hugged back. Frostbite picked Snowfall up, carrying her over to his wife and son, letting her join the hug as he encased his family with his wings. The family embrace was suddenly interrupted when one of the guards banged three times. This time quieter as they then spoke. "Your majesty, General Icesheet wishes to see all of you, especially Prince Snowheart"

This was an odd request, tapping a forepaw claw against her lower lip, Glacier sighed before she spoke. "Let her in" At this the double doors opened up, exposing the General who as soon as she saw Snowheart, looked extremely intrigued before she bowed towards the Queen and King.

"Your majesty, I know you have gotten reports of what happened, but I was there when it happened, I witnessed the whole fight. I must say Prince Snowheart is a fighter I have never seen! I was wanting to ask if he could undergo the start of military training for the army-" She was suddenly halted when Glacier spoke up, looking out of one of the windows within the royal bedroom, letting out a sigh before looking at her son. "Son, do you want to do this? I can't stop you from choosing what you wish to do, but if anything happens, you are to be returned to me immediately" She said sternly, giving Icesheet a side glance before turning to look directly at Icesheet, looking as intimidating as she could.

"You are to personally teach my son Everything. If I find out someone else is teaching him, I'll personally disembowel them, understand me" She growled slightly, tail lashing behind her while Icesheet gave a quick few nods. "Of course, your majesty, W-when shall the training start?" She gave Glacier a nervous smile, shifting nervously on her paws while Glacier thought for a second, that was until Frostbite chirped in.

"Perhaps tomorrow?" He suggested though Glacier placed a forepaw upon her snout, covering her eyes as she sighed out. "He has school in the morning love, though I guess he can be taken out of royal school to train with Icesheet" At hearing this, both Snowheart and Icesheet smiled, loving the news, though Glacier then turned to look at her son, letting out a huff before speaking. "You're grounded for tonight young man" Snowheart looked shocked, then huffed out angrily as he went towards his bedroom, tail lashing behind him while grumbling the whole way.

"I can hear you!" Glacier called out to her son when she felt Frostbite place a forepaw on her right shoulder. "Let me handle this hun" He gave a soft smile, leaving her side as he followed where their son had gone too.

In the large royal bedroom of Snowheart, His father entered, gently pushing the door open as his eyes scanned around the room, finally setting upon his son's form, who was hissing in pain, wiping dry blue blood off his chest and snout, he then pulled out a dislodged tooth, letting it drop to the ground, he let out a loud groan of pain when he applied some pain dulling cream to a large gash on his side, one of the Icewing goons had gotten a lucky hit on him.

"Son? We need to talk" Frostbite softly called to Snowheart, seeing him flinch slightly yet didn't turn around as he started to apply a large soft dressing to the wound, the outermost layer of the Sterospore Large Plaster, so to make sure the wound healed properly.

"What do you want Father" The tone of his son's voice stung his heart slightly, yet pushed on as he moved behind him, looking into the mirror that Snowheart was using to make sure he got all the small wounds covered.

"What you did was beyond anything, protecting your sister like that is something most noble Icewings wouldn't do, and for that, You have my full support, my son"

Hearing this, Snowheart looked up into the mirror from the bag of medical supplies, a few tears ran down his face before he spun around and hugged Frostbite, sobbing softly into his Father's chest while the larger Icewing rubbed his back slightly, letting his son cry all of his emotions out, for he knew his Son had to act tough around his sister when he fought.

(I feel bad for my darling boy, no Icewing should go through this) Frostbite thought sadly, looking down at the quivering prince, hiccuping a few times as he continued to ball his eyes out.

"Shhh, it's okay my little Snowdrop, it's okay, daddy is here" Frostbite didn't care if anyone felt it was stupid for him to say that to his eldest son, yet right now Snowheart needed some sort of comfort, which Frostbite was willing to provide.

Frostbite quietly closed Snowheart's bedroom door, he then quietly made his way to where Glacier was lying in bed, reading a scroll before she looked over at her husband. "How is he?" She asked, worry flashing in her eyes while Frostbite climbed into bed, letting out a sigh before he spoke. "Not well, he let out his emotions for a full fifteen minutes before passing out from exhaustion, poor boy was covered in wounds, luckily all of them were small except for one on his stomach. I swear I'll mangle those boys for what they did to our boy" Frostbite snarled out, Stunning Glacier a bit as she had never seen her mate this pissed off before.

Frostbite was normally the one to keep the situation calm, yet Glacier could tell that he needed her more than ever right now. So putting the scroll down, she laid her head on his chest, purring to him softly as she then said softly. "I've been thinking darling, would it hurt if we were to have a fourth child? Hopefully, a daughter" Glacier then looked at him, staring into his eyes while he looked down at her, his angry expression melted away as soon as he made eye contact with her, placing a forepaw against her cheek gently before saying. "Of course my darling snowstorm" He purred, using her nickname to which she playfully slapped him as the two then snuggled down, falling asleep quickly after.
