The War of Ice and Sea

Chapter 8 - Attack

Whale's eyes snapped open, and he flicked his ears towards the roars and screams. The sun was rising slowly over the ocean, painting the sky shades of pink and orange. The noise was coming from Evening Island. Whale scrambled upright, panicking. There were homes on the west side of the island, including the ones of many dragonets. He checked to see if Snowstorm was up, but she was already spreading her turquoise wings. He pushed off the ground and tilted his wings towards the Island, but the wind was whipping away from the island, and he was being blown away.

Whale dived into the ocean instead, and quickly launched himself into a current, Snowstorm following. When they burst out of the water, frost was lining the ground, and pale blue and silver dragons were crashing into homes, slashing at tiny blue and green dragonets with their claws. Whale roared at them and was about to charge into battle, but then remembered the turquoise dragon behind him, quietly staring at the scene. "This isn't your fight," he murmured, and she nodded, tears in her eyes, and dipped under the water. 

Whale thought how hard it must be for Snowstorm, having to watch her friends and family fight in front of her eyes, and not be able to do anything about it. She couldn't fight on either side, because her family would kill her, thinking she was just another SeaWing. He hesitated, and then slipped back into the water. If he killed someone Snowstorm loved, he would never be able to forgive himself. 

This is only the first attack, He thought as he swam after the IceWing in disguise. But I'm sure there'll be many more. The War of Ice and Sea has begun.

First of all,  I know this was so short! Second, all the chapters from now on are going to be from Snowstorm's perspective. hehe, I said the name of the book in the book >:) anyway bye now.
