Royal SeaWing prisoner

Chapter 17

In the vast skies above the kingdoms, IceWing King North soared through the currents with Altitude, a fragile SkyWing dragonet, held securely in his grasp. As they glided southwards, leaving the warmth of the Sky Kingdom behind, North's mind was consumed with thoughts of the ice-covered land that lay ahead. "Urgh...," North muttered under his breath, his eyes fixed on the horizon. "One day, I shall destroy the great Ice Wall. There won't be another war anyway with King Darkstalker around." Altitude felt a shiver run down his spine, despite the cold of North's scales. He had already heard tales of King Darkstalker, a powerful NightWing who possessed incredible abilities. But these stories had always been tinged with fear and uncertainty. It was said that Darkstalker's power had the potential to tip the balance of peace and chaos in the entire dragon world. As they approached the Ice Kingdom, the temperature dropped drastically, and Altitude couldn't help but shudder. For a SkyWing, accustomed to the scorching heat, the icy climate was an unwelcome change. However, Altitude was determined to prove his worth to the IceWings and King North. The fragile dragonet yearned to find his place in a world that seemed harsh and unforgiving. SandWing Queen Sahara flew silently beside King North, her sandy coloured scales glimmering in the fading sunlight. She had long admired North's determination and resilience, even when his plans seemed wild and dangerous. But today, she sensed his discontent, his frustration with the Ice Kingdom's isolation and the Ice Wall that separated them from the rest of Pyrrhia. Sahara knew that deep down, North cared about the safety of his kingdom and his dragons. However, she also knew that the Ice Kingdom's seclusion had caused its fair share of problems. The outside world held wonders and possibilities that North was still discovering. As they landed in the Ice Kingdom, Altitude marveled at the landscape around him. Everything was enveloped in a frosty embrace, glistening in the moonlight like a sparkling jewel. The IceWings, with their shimmering scales of blue and white, moved gracefully through the icy terrain. North led Altitude through the grand Ice Palace, where IceWing guards stood tall and proud, their breath crystallizing in the frigid air. In the heart of the palace, they reached the Great Ice Wall, a colossal barrier that encased the kingdom. The king pressed his talons against the ice, feeling the solid weight beneath his claws. "One day," he mused, his voice echoing against the frozen wall, "one day, this wall will fall. The Ice Kingdom will no longer be closed off from the world. We can forge alliances, trade, and gain knowledge that would benefit our dragons." Altitude gazed at King North with newfound admiration. The fragile SkyWing had initially resented being brought to this cold land, but now he realized that perhaps this was where he belonged. Together with North, they could break the Ice Wall, not only physically but also metaphorically, opening doors to endless possibilities. Sahara stepped forward, breaking her silence. "My dear North, I understand your desire for progress and unity. But we must tread carefully. The future is uncertain, and King Darkstalker's influence looms large. We must ensure that our actions don't lead to further conflict." North turned to face Sahara, his eyes gleaming with determination. "I will not let fear hold us back," he declared. "We will find a way to build bridges, to bring peace and understanding to the dragon tribes. The Ice Kingdom will no longer be a place of isolation, but a beacon of hope." And so, King North, Altitude, and Queen Sahara forged ahead, their hearts set on a dream of unity. They rallied dragons from all tribes, convincing them that breaking down barriers would lead to a brighter future. Slowly but surely, the walls of prejudice and isolation began to crumble. In time, the Ice Kingdom stood as a testament to the power of change, its beauty shining not just in the icy landscape but also in the hearts of its diverse dragons. King North's dream of a world without war started to take shape, thanks to his unwavering determination and the fragile dragonet's unexpected courage. Together, they proved that even in the coldest of places, warmth and friendship could thaw any icy barrier and ignite the light of hope.
