Chapter 16
A cold splash of water splattered on to Iceberg, there was smoke in the air as a SkyWing threw a cauldron away.
"Hmm?" Iceberg woke up, blinking. She saw Sunset and waved to her.
Sunset smirked and flapped down beside Iceberg. "Hey, glad to see you awake!" She smiled. "You were blazing today! I didn't even see how you did that! You know, I never knew what it felt to be a prisoner, watching me kill dragons... But now I know... That's gonna happen to me.. But still cool!"
"Oh.. I didn't.." Iceberg rubbed her head. She barely remembered the whole event, but she did remember the black venom on the SandWing. "What was that?"
Sunset sighed. "It's alright, I didn't expect you to tell me. I would of hid my power too."
Iceberg shook her head. "Sunset, no, I really didn't! A RainWing must of, because I have no venom what-so-ever!"
Sunset rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say. Besides, the only RainWing we have here is the gray one and she couldn't have shot it from this far."
"Hmm.." Iceberg tapped her chin. "What if Comet did it?" She suggested.
Sunset tilted her head. "Her majesty? I don't know.... But she wouldn't have a problem with cheating... She probably got it from the treasure room."
"Maybe.." Iceberg said.
Sunset looked like she was hesitating something. "Hey Iceberg, can you do a favor?"
Iceberg looked up. "Sure, I guess. What is it?"
Sunset sighed. "Well, it is actually tomorrow, but anyway. Queen Comet is having a trial tomorrow which all trials I find boring and never attend them. But Queen Comet said I can't go to this trial which is so not fair cause I wouldn't care either way! But why did she tell me not to go to this one in particular? Something is definitely up! So, I want you to hide me when the trial is going on."
Iceberg hesitated from the slightest of moments before nodding. "I don't see why not."
Sunset smiled, "Great! Maybe if I hide under your wing..."
Iceberg tried opening her wings and winced. "I'm too sore. I'll try. But I can't really open my wings right now, so maybe I can't really hide you..."
Sunset frowned. "Let me see."
Iceberg winced as she shifted her wing a bit show Sunset. "It feels bad, but it can't be that bad, can it? I've been hurt before."
Sunset snorted. "Not by an SandWing, I bet. I don't know how to fix this.." She sighed.
An idea popped in Iceberg. Whenever Iceberg got seriously injured, Snowflake would go outside of the mountain and collect ice to put on Iceberg. She said it would heal IceWings. "There is one thing. If it's not asking too much, I think putting Ice on the scratches will help."
Sunset smiled, flapping her wings a bit. "Oh my gosh, your right! I can get you ice!" She sprang off her tower and flew away.
The pain started hurting a bit more as Iceberg waited for Sunset to come back. She smiled as she saw her spiraling up towards her. In her front talons, she was carrying a cauldron that held a bucket half full of water.
"I got this from the diamond spray river, I heard it leads to the kingdom of Sea. Or... maybe..? I never left the Sky kingdom."
"Really? How come?" Iceberg asked.
Sunset scowled. "I would never disobey the Queen! That was the way how my mother got killed! Also, I have to eat black rocks almost every day or I'll be killed!"
Iceberg lowered her ears, having the picture of Sunset dying.
Sunset had covered Iceberg in cold, shivering water and it felt so nice on Iceberg. Iceberg thanked Sunset and she soon returned to the Sky castle. She enjoyed Sunset's company but was no curious of what was gonna happen tommorow.
