"Hey, Prince Snowheart!" Icewave waved a forepaw at him, a few Icewings in the way as he approached her. All the Icewings were acting weird, coughing or eating, and no chatting was happening, which confused the Prince and made him slightly worried. (Did they hear what happened last night? I hope not) He thought to himself before looking back towards Icewave, stopping in front of the Icewing, who was his height, making her rather small for an Adult Icewing as she was only a head smaller than the normal height of an Adult Icewing. "You ready for today? Y-you do know what your training is today right?" She cocked her head to the left slightly, her eyes flicking about as she gave him a toothy smile.
"Uh, no, I don't, sorry" He replied, looking more confused than ever, looking left than right before he started following behind Icewave since she had started towards the main Training grounds. "What am I doing today?" He questioned, yet Icewave did not answer. Upon them entering the arena, Icewave leapt into the air, flapping her wings before landing on the ledge, looking down at him, he was about to ask something when out of the corner of his eye, to the left were three large male Icewings, two of them were holding silver spears as the middle one introduced himself. "Hello Snowheart, you may know me, I am Arcticstorm, and these are my friends, Icestar" The male to Arctic's right growled, spinning the spear in his forepaws. "And this is Frostspray" He looked to his right, looking at Frostspray, who gave a nod towards Snowheart, rotating his silver knives, they were rather long, and seemed very well-balanced and durable, he then threw the left knife up, making it spin fast before grabbing it's handle, showing Snowheart how well trained these Icewings were.
"First we'll go easy on you, let you get used to attacks like ours," Arctic said, shifting into an attack position while Frostspray shifted right while Icestar shifted left, the three Adult males started to encircle the Prince, he may be abnormally large for his age, but he was still training, and had limited knowledge on offensive fighting. Suddenly Icestar lunged at him while Frostspray threw one of his knives at him, time seemed to slow down for Snowheart, hearing his beat as he moved back, the knife barely dodging his snout as it slammed into the walls of the arena. He suddenly turned to Icestar, grabbing his spear, holding the larger Icewing back, growling out before he went to lift Icestar, lifting the older Icewing off the ground, startling him before Snowheart flung him towards Frostspray's location, making him collide with Frostspray, knocking both males out for now.
"Well, that went fucking amazingly, guess I have to do everything around here" Arctic grumbled, looking from his fallen friends to Snowheart, twirling the spear in his paws before he started swinging it at Snowheart, by now Snowheart had grabbed Icestar's spear, using it to block Arctic's attack, the two silver spears crashing together, making an almighty metallic clang. "Nnngh, You'll never win Snowheart" Arctic then brought his spear away, spinning around and bashing his tail into Snowheart, making the young dragon fly back and smash into the icy wall. Groaning out, Snowheart slipped from the wall, landing on the ground he then felt something on his lip, bringing up a claw, he dragged it against the slightly wet area, bringing his claw away only to see blue blood on it, grinning, he looked up at Arctic, growling out. "All that for a bit of blood" dodging Arctic's attack as he rolled to the right, getting up, he grabbed his spear before slicing at Arctic's left hind leg, making him growl out in pain as his leg gave out, the more nimble Snowheart then heard a set of claws rushing towards him, he spun around only to receive a punch in the chest, he coughed up a bit of blood, grabbing Icestar's forearm, getting a hold of one of his talons before pulling it upwards at an odd angle, a faint pop sounded out, Icestar letting go as he cried out in pain. "Ah, my fucking finger!" Icestar dropped his spear, holding his finger which was at an unnatural angle, this made Snowheart winch slightly, yet he pushed that aside as he then launched his spear at Frostspray who had also gotten up, the spear slamming into his shoulder, pinning the male to the wall, glad that one of the three males were OFA (Out of action) he turned to face Arctic, who turned around, yet had a noticeable limp on his left hind leg, which had blue blood covering it.
"That's it Snowheart, you have a warrior's spirit!" He then charged at Snowheart, yet Snowheart wasn't fast enough as one of Arctic's horns grazed his stomach scales, ripping a gash open, and making blood pour out of it. Letting out a loud hiss of pain, Snowheart looked back at his bleeding stomach, rubbing two claws against it gently before looking forwards once more, only for Arctic to pin Snowheart by his throat to the icy wall, he struggled, hitting Arctic's forearm, yet couldn't do anything to the titanic Icewing. Arctic was large, even for an Icewing, and that meant he could pin Snowheart with little problem.
His vision started to become blurry, yet made out the shape of Icesheet, seeing that she had reached the arena balcony where Icewave was at, he heard her shouting at him, making out a few words. "Snowheat...F..right b..ck...D...it..fo...me" His eyes suddenly lit up with determination when he put the words together, digging his claws into Arctic's forearm, snarling while he continued to claw at his arm, causing him to bleed a rather lot. letting go slightly, Snowheart was able to breathe again, drinking up Oxygen before he punched Arctic in the snout, making the larger Icewing stumble backwards, holding his snout in pain. "Fuck kid!" He said, his words being muffled due to his paws covering his mouth, yet received more punches as Snowheart started his attack. Punch after punch, left chin punch, right chin punch, rapid chest punches, he continued this relentless assault, attacking the older Icewing with such speed, both Icesheet and Icewave could barely keep up. "By the moons... did you train him at all before coming here?" Icewave questioned Icesheet, who only shook her head, watching the fight play out as Snowheart then continued his attack on the last two standing Icewings, having taken down Arctic, who was a bleeding mess on the ground, coughing up a bit of blood.
Snowheart grabbed Icestar's tail, stopping him from doing a tail slam, he then spun Icestar around, slamming him into Frostspray before spinning him into one of the Ice pillars that stood out of the large Arena, a few of Icestar's teeth scattered across the ground when Snowheart let go of them, growling out as he started his way towards Icestar, yet heard Frostspray roar out, spinning around, he blocked Frostspray, but Frostspray spun around, impaling a broken piece of Ice from the Ice pillar, spinning around to smash it against Snowheart, yet that did much to disorientate him as he then grabbed Frostspray's spear, which Frost was holding in both hands, and snatched it from the Icewing who had spun around once more to try and stab him, he then proceeded to spin around Frostspray. "You picked the wrong Prince" He stabbed the spear right through Frostspray's left shoulder, which was the uninjured shoulder, grabbing hold of both ends of the spear, he slammed Frostspray against another one of the Ice pillars. "Give me your arm" He growled out, pulling the spear up, splitting it partly in two before ripping a chunk out of it, luckily it was only a small chunk of his shoulder as the spear at only embedded into Frostspray's upper shoulder, which was mostly flesh.
with all the male Icewings dealt with, and with plenty of wounds himself, Snowheart slowly limped towards where Icewave and Icesheet had landed, Snowheart watching as Icesheet came running over, his hearing going while his vision became blurry, then, he lost consciousness, falling into the arms of Icesheet as she started to tend to him, holding him while Icewings flooded the now partly destroyed and bloody Arena.
It had been a whole week, a whole week of Snowheart being unconscious while a few Icewings kept him wrapped up in an enchanted blanket that could heal anyone of any wounds. Icesheet had remained by his side all the time, tear streaks covered her face, dry from the constant crying she had done over the week, by now she was curled around Snowheart, finally getting some sleep, if being encouraged by all the Icewings in the complex, even Arctic and his two friends were worried for Snowheart, at first thinking they had killed the Prince, yet were relieved when the Icewing nurses, who wrapped him in the enchanted blanket said he would be alright, providing he didn't take the blanket off for at least three days.
Snowheart let out a soft groan, Icesheets standing on end like a cat's, she raised her head quickly, her normal blue eyes were bloodshot with veins of darker blue caterpillar veins, showing just how tired she was, she held her breath, watching Snowheart like a hawk as he then let out another groan, his eyes fluttering slightly before slowly opening. Upon seeing this, Icesheet burst into tears once more, hugging Snowheart in a tight hug, sobbing loudly into his chest, for here, she felt far more free than she had ever felt when she was in the main Icewing capital.
"I...I t...thought d...di...ed" She said through sobs, rubbing her paws gently against his blanket-covered chest. Snowheart's vision was blurry at first, his hearing coming to, yet after a few seconds, it all cleared up as he nuzzled into Icesheet, kissing her on the head while rubbing a forepaw in circles on her back, just above her wings. "There there, I'm alive, aren't I? It will take more than three dragons to kill me" He gave her his iconic grin, which made her feel instantly better when she looked at his face, letting out a half sob half laugh before nuzzling back into his chest, curling around him tighter. "Never leave again?" She whimpered, yet hated what he said. "You know I can't do that Icy, I am here to train, not just lay here" He whispered to her, talking in the most soothing way possible so as to not come across as gruff at all.
"She let out a groan of displeasure, knowing that he was right since after all, it was her who suggested he train here. (You stupid bitch) She cursed herself, yet felt her breath hitch as she then thought. (Then maybe we wouldn't of fallen for each other, maybe we wouldn't be like this) The very idea of not being with Snowheart nearly made her continue crying, yet she held herself together as Snowheart's chest rose, then fell in a rhythm, a nice steady one. He then shifted, about to climb out of bed when Icesheet stopped him, planting her weight on him, making him nearly roar out in pain due to the large wound on his stomach, which was still being healed by the blanket. "No!, You can't, you're still recovering! The blanket is enchanted to heal anyone who wears it!" She panicky said, eyes wide and darting about in fear before she removed herself from him, relieving him of the pressure on his stomach, lying back down which made him groan.
"I'll take care of everything until you are ready darling" She leaned over and kissed him on the lips, purring softly as he kissed back, placing a forepaw on the back of her head as he deepened the kiss, yet she gently pulled away before saying. "I need to meet with Icewave and Arctic and a few other Icewings who work together to run this place, they want an update on your recovery" She then turned away from him, raising her tail deliberately, giving him a Very nice view of her rear end, making him grin before she opened the door and exited the room, gently closing them behind her.
