Frigid Straights

Running Away

"Wait, what? We're leaving? But why?" Silverstream asked while staring at me with wide stormy blue eyes. I sighed and explained my reason for wanting to leave the IceWing Kingdom.

"Okay, we'll go with you, Auz. There's no way that I'm staying behind!" Frostbite said, to me as her face growing determined as Willow nodded her head in agreement.

"I'm glad that you guys are tagging along, I wouldn't want to go out into the world alone." I replied with a small laugh.

"Well, we would NEVER let you go alone anyways," Silverstream cried while flapping her wings and raising an eyebrow at me.

"We're in this together, Auz. Even if we get kidnapped by SkyWings." Frostbite said while smiling cheekily at me and Silverstream.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, who said anything about getting kidnapped by SkyWings?" I said while rolling my eyes and staring pointedly at Frostbite.

"No one, I was just saying even if we were to be kidnapped by SkyWings, were with you all the way, Auz." Frostbite explained, putting her front talons up in a defense manner.

"I hope we don't get kidnapped by SkyWings, there mean and they have a firey temper." Silverstream remarked with a small frown forming on her face.

"Silverstream, relax, we won't be kidnapped by SkyWings, so there's no need to worry." I say, giving Silverstream a reassuring smile.

"What kinds of stuff should we take with us?" Frostbite asked as we were flying back to the palace. I put a talon on my chin in thought.

"We won't need much," I said after a few moments of silence. As we flew in through my bedroom window, I pulled a few scrolls off of my shelf and put them into a small leaf pouch that I had made myself.

"What about our parents? What will they say if we leave?" Silverstream asked, looking worldly at both me and Frostbite. I paused In my task to look up at her with a small frown.

"We should just leave a note, that way they don't worry to much." I say while walking over to my small desk, I grabbed three blank scrolls and some ink, I then sat them gently on the floor and me, Frostbite, and Silverstream all wrote a small notes to our parents.

Lying on my sleeping shelf, my mind wandered over my meeting with my friends and our escape plan. I knew deep down in my heart that I would be leaving both my parents and younger sister heartbroken, but I don't feel like I fit in with the other IceWings. Even the dragons in the 5th circle, technically no better than 6th, felt it necessary to rub their ranks in my snout all the time with frivolous commands. But, now I'm in the 5th circle, and they still tease me about anything and everything. It's so frustrating.

I had made a plan with Frostbite and Silverstream, we would be leaving at night when the moon is at its peak in the sky.

We packed a small pouch full of things like scrolls, herbs for treating wounds, and other sentimental items. So, once the moon was high in the sky, the three of us spread our wings and took off into the night sky.

"Hay, Auz? Where are we headed now?" Silverstream asked, staring at me with curious stormy blue eyes. I frowned and put my talons on my chin in thought.

"What about we head to the SeaWing kingdom?" I suggested after a few moments of silence, my two friends thought it over for a moment before they both nodded their heads in agreement.

"How long will it take to get there?" Frostbite asked after a few moments of silence, I just shrugged my wings in response.

"It will probably take a few days to get there, I mean, the IceWing Kingdom and the SeaWing Kingdom are on opposite sides of Pyrrhia." I replied after thinking it over for a few minutes.
