SFatspeaker was walking down the many rows of scrolls and papers.

Unfortunately, she had not found it very interesting…yet.

.

The guide did not need any more Skywing ways to cook bird recipes.

She knew that for sure. Though most of them did sound very tasty.

.

She laughed to herself. Starflight would have a ball in here.

At least if he could see for himself.

.

She sighed. She had been looking around here for hours.

She had not come across much. Most of these were just records.

.
Ruby promptly came in unexpectedly.

She was looking for something, or someone.

.

She looked over at Fatespeaker.

Ruby looked a bit worried.

.

That made Fatespeaker a bit worried as well.

" Have you seen Cliff?" she asked.

.

She shook her head in confusion.

"Um…who is Cliff?" she asked.

.

Ruby chuckled.
" He is my Son," she said.

.

That would make more sense as to why she was looking for him. She had her own two dragonets at home. Lunar and Thoughtful. She knew that they were in care though. Starflight would take the utmost good care of them.

.

He was a good dad.

She was sure of it.

.

Then she felt a pain in her head.

A sharp one.

.

She clutched her poor head.

Ruby looked concerned.

.

" What's wrong?" she asked with worry.

" Just…a headache," she said.

.

She smiled. " Happens here and there, they are not too bothersome though." she said.

Ruby let up a little after hearing she was ok.

.

Fatespeaker then heard a voice from somewhere.

It sounded like singing.

.

That must be Cliff.

" Oh," Ruby said. She heard it as well.

.

They looked at each other and headed to the singing voice.

She did have to admit it was a very lovely singing voice.

.

They found him on a banister on the west side of the palace.

He looked very happy.

.

His singing echoed and reverated across the courtyard.

It sounded almost angelic in a way.

.

Ruby smiled. " Cliff?"

He turned around with a big grin on his snout.

.

" Hi Mommy," he said.

" What are you doing here?' his mother asked him.

.

" Singing," he replied.

" Well I think it sounds very nice." she admitted.

.

" Thank you mom," he said.

Ruby chuckled. He was just too cute.

.

Cliff sighed.

" Is Daddy back yet?" he asked.

.

Ruby looked a bit sorry as she walked up next to him.

" No I am sorry, dad is not back yet." she said as she wrapped a wing around him.

.

Cliff's head drooped a little. " He is just busy with other things right now, but that does not mean you don't mean the world to him," she added at the end.

.

Fatespeaker knew Jasper a bit. He used to work in the Winglet area. He was quite sweet and was very fond of Ruby's son. Of course, being so sweet, he became her mate.

.

Fatspear though he was an excellent choice.

He had met her only one other time but he was quite friendly.

.

Fatspeaker clutched her head again.

There were the visions coming back again.

.

She had been having them for the past week and they were getting more frequent. The problem was that they were so brief and fuzzy that she could not make out what her mind was trying to tell her.

.

Cliff looked over at her with worry.

" Mommy is she ok?" he asked.

.

Ruby then had a bit of an idea. She knew what was going on.

She had read about these kind of things.

.

" Cliff mommy needs you to leave for now." she said softly.

He looked distraught.

.

" But why mommy?" he asked.

She chuckled. " Well…can you keep a secret?

.

He nodded eagerly.

" Ok then, you can come too." she said.

.

Ruby turned to fatespeaker. " I just noticed you have teardrop scales," she said.

Cliff looked over at them as well. " They look pretty!" he said gleefully.

.

That was true. She did have those scales.

But what about it?

.

" Here come with me." she said.

Fatespeaker was interested now.

.

The skywing queen grabbed her by the hand and led her out of the room and to a passage in the back of the tower. Cliff followed them. A secret room perhaps?

.

She turned to her, " Can you keep a secret as well?" she asked.

She nodded. " Good," Ruby said.

.

They continued down the corridor into the passage.

Where were they? Cliff looked around with curiosity.

.

" I have not gone down here in a long time," Ruby said as she grabbed a torch to light the way. " Down here is a little special," she added.

.

" Mommy, am I special?" Cliff asked.

Ruby chuckled. " Yes, Honey You Are Special."

.

She turned her attention back to Fatespeaker.

.

" From those teardrop scales I think you can read minds and have visions, can you not?" she asked. Fatespeaker was a bit tense on the subject.

.

" Oooh! You can read minds?!" Cliff squealed.

Fatespeaker laughed. He was so cute.

.

" Kind of," she admitted to Ruby.

Cliff grinned ear to ear.

.

" Well don't worry, " Ruby said. " If you can in fact do those things then it will significantly enhance your abilities if just for a moment," she explained.

.

" What…will enhance my abilities?" she asked.

Ruby sighed. " It is a kind of mirror," she said.

.

" What does it do?" she asked.

Ruby turned around and gave her a look of, " What do you think it does?".

.

" Oh.." she said feeling quite foolish.

They continued on down till a door came into view.

.

The Queen opened it and revealed an almost empty room.

There was a small window and a large alter in the center.

.

Fatespeaker went over to take a look.

On the top was a bowl of some kind.

.

She turned to see Ruby with a chalice of water.

She poured it in.

.

Cliff batted at the stream flipping water everywhere.

Ruby ushered him off to the side so he would not be a nusince.

.

" Now what?" Fatespeaker asked.

" Look into it." she said flatly. " Look into it and tell me what you see," she said to her.

.

" Ok, here goes nothing…" she said to herself as she bent over and peered in.

She at fist saw nothing.

.

Just water.

Then her vision began to change.

.

She felt a pull in her mind.

.

The visions were tinged with red and black. And what they showed filled Fatespeaker with horror. She could barely watch as they unfolded. Her eyes glowed as the mirror showed her the visions.

.

Jade Mountain in flames and fire.

The students and her friends all fleeing to the waters.

.

The Rainforest all chopped down.

The Rainwings starving and the Nightwings homeless.

.

The Silkwing Pillars crumbled and burned.

The Silkwings all dazed and traumatized.

.
She Skywing Kingdom besieged and stolen.

The Skywings beaten out of their home for good.

.

The Kingdom of the Icewings destroyed.

All the Icewings slaughtered and the palace smashed to bits.

.

The Stronghold taken over.

The sandwings all cowering in fear.

.

The swamp lands all dried up.

The Mudwings All Enslaved and taken away.

.

The kingdom of the sea stolen forever.

All the Seawings taken under captivity and caged.

.

The Leafsilk Kingdom Annihilated

The Leaf Wings and Hivewings And Silkwings all decimated.

.

She shuddered in fear and anger. What was all of this?! And why was it so horrible?! She was suddenly thrown off from the altar and backward by some force. Cliff yelped in surprise. Ruby caught her before she hit the ground.

.

Fatespeaker had no words for what she saw.

Only a single word. She was shivering.

.

" What did you see?" Ruby asked sternly with a hint of fear in her voice.

Cliff looked frightened.

.

She was quiet for a moment before she spoke.

" Doom…" She said,

.

That sent a chill up Ruby's spine.

.

A devastating prophecy is now revealed.

.

A truth foretold.
