Tears stream down the ex-prince Icewing's face as he soars over the ocean. Winter's muscles ache, but the betrayal of his crush and his friends are still fresh in his mind, forcing him to get as much distance from all of them as possible.
~Flashback~
"Everyone! Moon and I are officially mates." Winter's heart broke at the sound of Qibli announcement. The Sandwing stood next to the female Nightwing on the stage in the middle of Assembly Hall at Jade Mountain Academy. Everyone was congratulating them, except for Winter and Turtle, who was aware of Winter's crush on Qibli. Putting on a brave face, he walked up to the new couple.
"Congratulations Moon, Qibli." His voice didn't waver no matter how hurt he felt. Moonwatcher and Qibli smiled at the Icewing and thanked him. Winter turned around and walked to his room. He grabbed all his belongings and took off.
~Flashback Ends~
"How could he do that? What about that night?" Winter whispers to himself as he flies. Suddenly, the sound of wing beats approach him. A Skywing with bright yellow and orange scales stops Winter in his tracks.
"Are you alright, young Icewing?" Winter can tell from her voice that she is an elder. He shakes his head, too distraught and hurt to keep up his cold exterior. The Skywing leads him to a large continent. As they approach, Winter sighs in relief at the cool temperature.
"Come, young Icewing, you are welcome here." He follows the elderly Skywing to a large hut. Inside, he sees other Icewings that he remembers to have also been banished. Snowstorm, Subzero, and Quartz. The 3 Icewings bow to him.
"Prince Winter. It is an honor to meet you. What brings you here?" Quartz asks. Winter looks down. "I have been banished from the Icewing Kingdom. I am no prince." The dragonet replies. Quartz approaches him and pulls the ex-prince into an embrace. Winter gladly returns the hug, snuggling into her comforting cold scales.
"Thank you, Scorch. We will take it from here." Snowstorm gives a slight bow to the Skywing that Winter was following. Scorch smiles and bows back.
"Of course, Snowstorm. I may be old, but I can still help lost dragonets." She boasts, puffing out her chest. Snowstorm chuckles and nudges her affectionately, something Winter is not used to seeing from other Icewings. He hears shuffling, and turns to see Subzero approaching him.
"Don't worry, Winter. We will help you break free of the chains your family put on you." He says, giving the young dragon a small smile. Winter returns the smile and snuggles deeper into Quartz's scales, yawning. Maybe things won't be so bad after all.
