Snowberry walked into the town pulling over her hood, hiding all her Icewing spikes. She knew that Possibility would probably be the most likely place to except her Icewing heritage, but there were still spies and she really did not want to deal with them right now.

As she walked through the crowded streets she realized that she was right to pull down her hood.  All around her were Icewing soldiers, they kept showing different dragons a piece of paper which apparently had a picture of some fugitive.  No, Snowberry thought.  It couldn't be me.   The queen doesn't even know I exist, it's impossible.  But her brain kept on picking on the idea and eventually she decided she couldn't risk it, she had to get one of those papers.  Just to make sure. 

But if it ended up not being her it would be a real big waste of time.  But if it's not me, who? She asked herself.

Intrigued by her thoughts, she started towards one of the guards.  She was pretty sure they were stupid enough to think she was a normal Leafwing because one.  When Leafwings fold their wings it's harder to spot the difference between the special leaf shape specific of their tribe and the shape other tribes have. And, she had her cloak on so you could barely see any part of her that was Icewing.  Besides the guards wouldn't pay enough attention to her that much.

As she walked up to a pair of guards questioning an old Silkwing she tapped one of their shoulders.  The Icewing spun around startled, his sharp spikes clattering together.  "What do you want," He said annoyance slipping out into his voice.  "May I see," She asked, pointing to the paper he was holding.  "Oh," He said, handing the paper to her, "Have you seen this dragon?" He asked.  Snowberry stared at the paper.  Whoever was on it was definitely not her, in fact it was an Icewing.  But not just any Icewing...

Suddenly a voice called from behind her.  "Hey Snowberry!" Cattail called playfully.  Snowberry turned around instantly her spikes clattering together making a loud noise.  Cattail realized what was happening too late, one of the guards called from behind her, "hey, what are those things on your tail..." his sentence trailing off, his eyes widening.
"HYBRID!" shouted another one. And with that Snowberry started running.

The wind was against her face and her eyes looking sharply for places she could escape to.  Cattail was right behind her.  She could here them saying sorry over and over again.  Snowberry didn't really care, what was done was done.  She didn't have time to be mad at anyone right now anyways, the Icewing soldiers were catching up and she didn't see any places to hide.  She suddenly called to Cattail, stopping them mid sentence, "we have to get into the air!"
"Oh, erm. Ok!" Cattail said, startled by the interruption.  Snowberry suddenly made a sharp turn into an alleyway  Cattail right behind her.  Then she leaped up into the air, flapping her wings as hard as she could.

Cattail followed her every move perfectly.  That was partly because Cattail had taught it to her in the first place.  They didn't seem like it but Cattail was actually older than Snowberry by 20 years, but they definitely didn't act like it.  Cattail was friendly to people they knew well but to everyone else they were the quiet dragonet, always staying in the corner, shy, etc.  what most people didn't realize was that Cattail was a combat expert.  So everything that Snowberry knew was from Cattail.

As they both rose into the air Snowberry felt the wind against her face.  She felt free, like she could do whatever she wanted.  But there was no time for enjoyment of flight right now, they had to get these guards of their tails, and fast.  Snowberry soared into the clouds, water splattering against her face.  She would only be hidden for a few seconds until the soldiers found her.  Cattail wouldn't know what she was about to do, but hopefully they'd understand when they saw Snowberry they would understand her plan.

She didn't have time to second guess herself though, she dove from the clouds.  She saw Cattail.  They saw her before the guards of course and new what she was doing. They dove after her.  Straight into the guards.
