Mother"? Are you alright?" Qibli's eyes widen as two 5-year-old dragonets flank Winter. Winter turns away from the teachers and smiles at the one who had spoken, the dragonet that has more Icewing features. What surprises Qibli more is the splashes of yellow... and the barbed tails. They were hybrids... of an Icewing and Sandwing.
"I'm alright, my dear," Winter assures the little dragonet in an unfamiliar voice. It was soft-spoken and kind. Winter turns back to the group. "Follow me. We will talk in the palace." Winter leads them into the throne room. Two Skywing guards stand on either side of throne, stepping sideways as Winter approaches. He sits down, and the two dragonets sit in the smaller thrones.
"Winter... What is all of this? Why did you leave? Who are they?" Tsunami demands, pointing first out the window to the City, then to him, and finally to the dragonets. Winter chuckles, happy that Tsunami didn't change throughout the time he has been gone.
"First off, this is Niapu. The city itself is known as 'Paradise City.' Second, I left for many different reasons, mainly because I had been banished from the Icewing Kingdom, and didn't feel like I belonged anywhere else in Pyrrhia. Lastly, they are my daughters." Winter explains to the Headmistress. Winter looks to his right and nods to the dragonet with more Icewing features
"Hello. I am First Princess Aurora Borealis." The elder sister gives a slight head bow in greeting. Winter then turns to his left to look at his other daughter, the one with more Sandwing features. She nods her head, and the dragonet stands up.
"Hello. I am Desert Flower. The second princess." She introduces herself before sitting back down on her throne
Qibli looks at his former dormmate. So regal. He gazes at the Icewing Queen. It's been so long since I've seen you, Winter. Why did you leave without saying goodbye? The Sandwing then turns to look at Aurora, the elder sibling. That is definitely Winter's daughter. She even has the same scowl on her face. He looks over at the younger daughter. Also Winter's daughter. Her posture and short responses are just his nature. He smiles at the family in front of him, before it fades into a frown. But... Who is their father? The throne beside Winter is empty, so he isn't King, but none of them are even glancing at it... is he not in their lives at all?
"-ibli...Qibli!!" Qibli snaps out of his thoughts and turns to his mate. "Are you okay?" Moon looks up at the Sandwing with a worried expression. He smiles his charming smile and nods his head.
"I'm fine, Moon." He assures her. He looks up at Winter. "May I ask a personal question, Winter?" The Guards growl and point the spears toward him.
"That's Queen Winter to you, Sandwing." One of them snarls, glaring at Qibli. Winter sighs and thumps his tail spikes against his throne, creating a wind chime sound.
"It is alright, Firehawk, Brazen, they are all old friends and mentors, they may adress me informally is they so wish." The Skywing guards bow their heads in acknowledgment and back off. "Qibli, what is your question?" Qibli looks up at Winter.
"Who and where is the father of your dragonets?" Winter and the princesses freeze at the question. The guards snarl angrily, forcing Qibli to back up. Qibli then notices something about the Skywing guards. They appear to smoking. Firescales. At this revelation, Qibli runs behind Clay. "They have Firescales!!"
"You must now noticed that, Sandwing? How oblivious. Almost every Skywing on Niapu has Firescales. Thoes that don't have them are either animuses or escaped Queen Scarlet's tyranny." The female Skywing, Firehawk, snarls, stepping closer to teachers.
"Enough!!" The guards turn to face their queen. Winter descends from his throne and walks to Qibli. "The father of my daughters never loved me. I was just a toy for him, and he got bored." He snarls, his arctic blue eyes staring into Qibli's obsidian black ones. A chill runs down the Sandwing's spine, as he remembers the passionate night he had with the royal Icewing in front of him. A-are they mine? He quickly dismisses the thought. Winter isn't a toy, and Winter would've told him if they were his...right?
""I'm so sorry, Winter." Moon walks over to Winter and Qibli and places her talons on the Icewing's shoulder. Winter looks at her before removing her talons.
"I appreciate the gesture, Moon. but don't touch me. I don't like being touched." He growls lowly. Moon opens her mouth to say something, when her body goes stiff and her eyes turn white
When the false queen rises to rule them all
Six dragonets shall meet to change fate
Seek the twins made as one
Find a mudwing of earth like blood
Find a dragon hidden within ice and fire
Skywing with scales that scorch
An animus of powers untold
A journey they shall undertake, a secret shall be uncovered
The dragonets are coming
Qibli catches his mate as she falls to the ground. Winter stares at the nightwing, disbelief with a hint of fear swirling in his eyes. Tsunami runs over to Moon and helps her stand up.
"Great. Another prophecy. Wonderful." Winter remarks sarcastically.
