Wings of Power

LORE!

Wow, chapter 30, and a year-old story, a lot has happened since I first published this fic, and a lot is going to happen. Hopefully the world doesn't blow up till I finish this, that would suck... any ways onto the chapter.

The main dragonets, Glacier, Tundra, Winter, and Icicle were all alone in one of the rooms in the fortress.

Glacier just finishing up hearing the Dragonet's story, "So if I was one to guess, you're here to ask me to leave the war?"

Everybody nodded, holding their breath in anticipation for the answer.

Glacier shook her head, "I'm sorry, but what we are fighting for is too important," Glacier said, making everybody upset at first, "We almost have what we are fighting for and we can't stop now, we are too close"

"You're just fighting for some land, the land that's not even close to your kingdom?" Sunny said upset.

"It's more than that!" Glacier said, getting upset, then taking a deep breath to calm down.

"Let me tell you a story," Glacier started but was interrupted by Tundra.

"My queen, I don't recommend telling them..." Tundra said with concern on her face, "Especially a NightWing..." Tundra explained glaring at Starflight.

"We have no allegiance to anybody, especially the NightWings" Tsunami said, "Actually it's the opposite. They sent an assassin after us because we don't do what they want us to do." Tsunami explained.

"Ha! Of course, those control freaks would, they don't like it when things don't go their way." Glacier said with a smirk, "Either way, Tundra, you're out of place, I can choose to tell who I want to, it's not like it's a secret anyways."

Tundra gave Glacier a small unseen glare.

"This story starts long, long, and I mean long ago. Even before dragons existed. Did you know that before there were dragons, scavengers ruled the earth..." Glacier started.

Starflight gasped lightly, "I heard that theory, but I thought it was just a myth!"

Glacier shook her head, "No, it's not a theory. This story is passed down from queen to queen. It's the story of how the IceWings and all dragons came to be."

Everybody's eyes grew, especially Starflight's.

"This is the thing, we don't know the whole story, just what's been kept in story's... I will get to that later but let me start the story and say what I do know." Glacier took a deep breath before continuing.

"Before dragons existed, there were many nations of scavengers. But they were different from the scavengers we have now. They had powers, too much power. So much so that they had the power to destroy whole cities with just one weapon, or even go to the stars themselves."

Starflight let out another gasp but tried to keep his questions to himself.

"The scavengers were never at peace, they were always fighting one another. Two of the most powerful nations went to war with each other, dragging almost all the other nations into war with them... kind of like now. They were at war for years, always in a stalemate."

"We don't know how, when, or why... but the very first dragon came into existence... what we do know is the scavengers apparently made the dragon to be a living weapon..." Glacier was interrupted by the shouting.

"How is that possible, you can't just go and create life like that!" Starflight said in wonder.

Glacier lifted up one of her wings, making everybody quiet down, "Look I find it hard to believe too, but this is just what the stories said... and that is why I want the land that we are fighting for."

"We used to have a monument dedicated to this story, one that is supposed to house relics from that era, and the answers to our question. We lost the location during the war of Ice and Night during the Darkstalker era..."

"We have been trying to get it back for centuries now trying to make negotiations with the SandWings for years, we never wanted to start a war for just a monument, but when it came up where we could get it back and also place a queen in power that would be in debt to us... it was too good of a chance to not take it." Glacier finished.

"So in short... if we get you your place back, will you leave the war?" Sunny asked Glacier.

"It's a good idea, but what about Blaze, it would be un-honorable to just leave her in the dirt after I get what I want," Glacier said concerned.

"Queen Glacier, I don't think Blaze is who she portrays herself to be..." Starflight said unsure.

Glacier glared at him, "Explain yourself,"

Starflight nodded his head, "I can read minds," He was cut off by Glacier laughing.

"Like I haven't heard that a million times, prove it," Glacier said smirking at him.

Starflight smirked at Glacier back, "When you first got here, you were thinking since you were so close you would go and meet Jerboa to se-" He was cut off when Glacier jumped over the table and clamped his mouth shut to silence him. Peril jumped in action to, shooting one of her claws dangerously close to Glacier's chest, "Let him go or be incinerated." Peril hissed out dangerously.

"I wasn't going to hurt him, but what he was saying is something... personal," Glacier muttered, letting Starflight go.

Tundra was glaring at Glacier, who was the dragon that the NightWing was talking about?

Glacier walked back over to her spot, "All right NightWing, you proved yourself, what was going on with Blaze?"

"Her thoughts didn't match her personality at all, its like she is faking how she acts." Starflight tried explaining.

"How so?" Glacier asked. Wondering about the princess of the Sandwings.

"When we were trying to talk about the war with her, she mind was going over what was almost like she was reading a script, such as "I'm going to talk about this now." or it was like she was on purposely trying to seem a little... dopey. And then there was right before we started this conversation, right as you said that we could talk to you about the war her thoughts became hostile, thinking about ways to get rid of us..." Starflight finished.

Glacier took a deep breath, "All right, here is what my counter negotiations are, if you help me find the monument, I will think about leaving the war while we look for it." Glacier asked him.

Starflight was reading her mind the whole time looking for a lie but found none... "Deal"

Sorry guys, this is the shortest chapter I have posted in a long time, but I know that you guys are getting practically content starved right now. I know I am considering I can read a 200,000 word fic in just a couple hours. But back to my actuall commentary on this chapter. Remember, this story from here on out is going to be NOTHING like the acutall book, the ending is going to be so different that this fic will be its own story. Also for Blaze... im sorry but there aint nobody that's that dum but still has an army of dragons. The lore part of this that I wrote is from my other fic, it's my own version of the "SCORCHING". You don't have to read that fic to read this fic, but I recommend it. Actually, this fic will almost spoil my oc fic. Lol.
