Prologue Pt. 2
As the SkyWing queen flew afar, little to her knowledge, the little dragonet rolled to safely under the mountain. It was a far, far way down, but she was strong little dragonet who held tightly to the little life she still had inside her. She tumbled and cried out for her mother who had given her life to save her, but little did she know what.
Meanwhile an IceWing known as Hvitur was wondering the caves. He had not gone out that night to get a SkyWing for the prophecy, so in this tale Kestral has taken his place as that who died. He was supposed to be guarding that little makeshift nest that Dune had put together, for the eggs would be hatching tonight, but he had been sitting they're all day needed to get up.
It was then when he heard a cluck! At the wall. Hvitur pricked up his ears, looking to where he had heard the sound. Sure enough there was a little half broken egg which looked charred and black at the edges. The very confused slim IceWing got up to look at the strange foreign looking object.
Hvitur looked at hollowed eggshell, it's was orange, he could tell. A SkyWing egg? His mind wandered. For the... the prophecy? Why is it broke? Where Kestral?! Although the IceWing had many questions, he noticed something by peering inside the egg...
"Awwwwarrkkkarr" the little dragonet inside cried. Hvitur jumped back. There's a dragonet in there! He looked down at the orange and red dragon's pulsing blue eyes... they were so full of pain and sadness, such a strange sight in the eyes of a newly hatched dragonet. Hvitur stretched his long, grey neck closer to the sorrowful dragonet. "Hello?" The IceWing questioned playfully to the newborn. She was very beautiful, Hvitur had never seen a SkyWing like this. Expect maybe... could it be? She does have a striking resemblance to Kestrel... is this Kestral's dragonet for the prophecy? Did Kestral leave her here? If so... then where is she now?
"Are you the SkyWing for our prophecy?" He asked to her little one. She certainly had hatched that night, probably even just a few minutes ago. She was still in her egg shells for the moons sake!
"Come here, little one," Hvitur said, reaching out to the dragonet, scooping her up in his icy grey talons.
Boy was he in for a surprise.
After just a few seconds of holding the young one, Hvitur's entire arms lit up with incredible searing pain. The IceWing screamed as he dropped the dragonet on the stone. "HELPP!!" He shouted out, holding his talons that were quickly losing color. Dune burst into the room, hearing his cries in pain.
"Hvitur! What's going on!" The SandWing shouted, running to the side of his friend. Hvitur yowled again pointed to the dragonet.
"It's that- that- Dragonet!!" He shouted. "She— I JUST TOUCHER HER AND THIS HAPPENED! LIKED I TOUCH A FIRE OR SOMETHING!! " He gestured to his burnt talons.
"But— how?!" Dune looked at his black claws, gasping.
"IceWing's can't touch fire, you idiot! For that matter, no dragon can!!" Hvitur roared in pain and annoyance. Dune was in silence for a little bit, but then piped up.
"That's the shell of Kestral's egg" he said, looking at the vessel the dragonet had come in. "This... this is our SkyWing..."Hvitur looked at him in surprise and shock, cradling his claws. But before he had time to say anything more, Webs burst in.
"EVERYONE! GUYSS!! COME QUICK! THE EGGS, THEY'RE HATCHING!!" He shouted all at once. Dune, reading the situation, make a quick idea.
"Webs, bring the eggs here." He commanded. Webs looked shocked. "W-WHAT? No! They're HATCHING!" He panicked.
"JUST DO IT WEBS." Dune shouted. Webs stayed in silence for a second or two, but then quickly nodded and ran off to gather up the eggs. Dune turned his back at the dragonet in her shell.
She looked so innocent... so confused. Dune could believe how such a little thing could do so much damage. Her little form stayed put in her egg, not wanting to move. In this place it looked like all she wanted was to be confomforted, like any baby would. But this dragonet was harmful, she could do so much damage in touch. Dune looked at the SkyWing dragonet and cringed.
How is a dragon... like this... going to save the world... when she can do is hurt?
