PROLOGUE

Three thousand years ago

Three thousand years before the Dragonets of destiny.

One thousand years before the first Nightwing animus dragon.

There were the Primordials…

"Hello, Twilight," a voice spoke from behind her. It sounded amazingly out of breath. "I apologize for being late."

Twilight turned around to look at her friend. "Apology accepted, what's your excuse this time?" She asked him, this was getting to be a regular occurrence.

"My mother and father made me attend a meeting with all the other Kings and Queens about some council or something, I didn't really pay attention," he said.

Snowblade was the prince of the BlizzardWings and his parents were the King and Queen.

"Snowblade…" Twilight started; she contemplated if she should go through with her intentions for this secret meeting. "Do you love me? I need to know if I am to go through with this."

"More than anything in the world, I would sacrifice myself for you endlessly," Snowblade said. Twilight knew he was telling the truth; she could feel it.

"Good, because what I'm about to show you cannot, under any circumstances, be mentioned to anybody else, it is a PearlWing secret, understand?" Twilight asked.

"I understand completely, I keep large secrets from my parents all the time," Snowblade said.

"OK, follow me."

The PearlWings were a peaceful tribe, that's not to say they didn't have secrets of their own, the rest of the tribe would be sleeping right about now, so they shouldn't be caught, and even if they did get caught, Twilight was one of the four government officials. The PearlWings were disinterested in Kings and Queens, so they invented their own government, each member being elected and assigned to a role according to their skills, Twilight being one of them.

Thankfully, no dragons were in the way.

"Where are we going Twilight?" Snowblade asked.

"Questions are for later, Snowblade," she snapped.

As they walked to the farthest cave in the back of the mountain, Twilight's legs began to get tired, Snowblade noticed this and rushed to support her balance.

When the two reached their destination, Snowblade wore a puzzled expression.

"A pool? Why would a pool be a PearlWing secret Twilight?" Snowblade asked.

Twilight reached for a shiny pebble from a very large storage container and shoved it into Snowblade's talons.

"You are not allowed to be here, get into the pool, don't drop the pebble," Twilight said. "I'll stand watch."

Snowblade hesitantly did as he was told and then his body went limp and fell completely into the pool.

Soon there were talon-steps, outside the cave, somebody was coming.

Twilight stepped into the hallway to investigate who it was. A WindWing? Here? Why? When Twilight looked closely, she noticed it was Princess Feldspar, what was she doing here?

"What brings you to the home of the PearlWings Princess Feldspar?" Twilight asked once she was within earshot of her voice.

"I heard a rumor that Prince Snowblade came here, do you know anything about that Twilight?" Princess Feldspar asked.

"Why do you want to know?" Twilight asked, she was starting to get nervous.

"I wasn't told why, I was simply told to find Snowblade and bring him to the Wind Kingdom," Feldspar explained.

"Well, you're welcome to look for him, but do not disturb any of the sleeping PearlWings, or I will need to remove you from these caves," Twilight said.

"Understood, thank you Twilight, good night," Feldspar said.

Twilight waited until there was no possibility of Feldspar seeing her and then bolted back to the Pool of Vision.

"What was that?!" Snowblade exclaimed, he sounded tense, Twilight was also tense when she first used the Pool of Vision.

"We have to get out of here right now, I'll answer every question tomorrow, Feldspar's looking for you, go!" Twilight said in one consecutive breath.

Snowblade ran down the winding halls, taking one last glance at Twilight and then exiting the caves.

Feldspar came back and noticed Twilight next to the pool, she bore a face of rage, and then she pounced onto her.

"ACK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING FELDSPAR?!" Twilight exclaimed.

"I KNOW SNOWBLADE IS HERE SOMEWHERE! WHERE IS HE HIDING TWILIGHT?" Feldspar screamed.

Luckily, when Feldspar pounced on Twilight, they rolled over to the box of pebbles, Twilight picked one up, slipped it into Feldspar's talons without her noticing because of the rage consuming her and rolling back to the Pool of Vision and shoving her in.
