Sheveara huffed as she walked down the hallway of the Orphanage. Moons, why was she forced to do this? To dragonsit a bunch of dragonets she didnt know nor care about.

Her job was to keep them in line until some Icewing decided to adopt them. Which rarely happened.

He talons hardly made a noise as she crept on the floor, not wanting to wake up the pesky little dragonets.

The lights were off, it was dark and cold. Just the way they liked it. She took a deep breath. She hated dragonets.

As she passed the door, she heard a small knock. She paused, and then carefully opened the door. It creaked, and she wondered who the heck was at an Orphanage at this hour.

She looked around the doorway, and saw no one. Not a soul.
Then, she heared a soft yawn. She looked down and saw a basket. Oh GREAT.

She looked inside and there was...a dragonet? This was just great. Another pesky brat to deal with. The parent must have been too much of a coward to drop it off personally. Gah.

She peared around the baby Icewing, whom was sleeping. He was a boy. Snow white with blue faded on his horns and underbelly. Completely ordinary. Yikes.

She felt a note as she lifted the dragonet out of the basket. She paused, and then quickly grabbed it and rushed inside. She didn't have the PATIENCE to deal with 5 DRAGONETS! Let alone ANOTHER! Gah! Dragons these days.

She hurried down the stone floor, until she reached a room. It was full of 4 other dragonets. She set down the dragonet on an empty bead and he cooed. Ugh.

Sheveara crept out of the room and looked at the note.

Who ever may find this-

Please take care of our baby. You don't have to know who we are, just know that he is not us. Not a traitor. He will be loyal, and he will be brave. Like his father. Tell him every day how much his mom and dad loved him and never let him think we didn't.

Thank you.

Sheveara sighed in disgust and freezed the note, stepped on it and making it shatter.

He would never know what the note said. It was stupid. And childish. And unnecessary. His parents were traitors. They didn't deserve love.

And neither did there dragonet.
