QIBLI POV
Qibli's mouth hung open in stunned silence.
"You're gay?!" He semi-shouted, and cursed himself when the Icewing flinched.
"NO! I mean, yes...I dont know...." Winter trailed off, mumbling to himself. "Is that....bad?" He asked after a little.
This ice-headed idiot really hadn't been paying attention during his rant had he?
"NO. Of course not. I was just surprised that an Icewing from a country as stuffy and stupid as snowsniffer-land would be chill about figuring that out. Hehe, gettit? Chill?"
Winter looked utterly disgusted by this attempt at humor.
"I would say 'very funny'...but that would be lying." He snarked. " and NO, for your information, I figured this out on my own."
Qibli smirked.
"Bet THAT was fun. 'Oh hey mum, hey da, guess what, I think I might like other guys, super cool right?' I can just see those prissy stuck up nobles faces now-"
"No you can't." Winter cut in sharply. Qibli blinked in surprise.
Okay....so family stuff is touchy. Noted.
They flew on in silence for a little while. Eventually though, a persistent nagging question that had been in his head came back to the forefront of it.
"Hey Snowflake?"
"ITS WIN-"
"Yeah yeah, Winnie the Snowcone, whatever....why were you patrolling on the front? Shouldn't royalty get treated more...I don't know, respectfully?"
Winter snorted. "Humph. Maybe in OTHER less noble kingdoms...in ours, even the princess serves in the military."
"Well yeah, I know that, I mean. I'm the one who....nevermind. I was just wondering why?"
Winter blinked in confusion. "Why? What do you mean why? The Queen commanded it!"
Qibli said nothing. The IceWings are completely autocratic then, the Queen is absolute. Take down the Queen, take down the hive.
"I dont like that face." Winter moaned grumpily. "I feel like it signals trouble."
"What this?" Qibli said with a smirk. "This is my thinking face."
Winter snorted again. "You? Think? That'll be the day."
"HEY!" Qibli protested. "You met me like SIX HOURS AGO, what do YOU know? Besides, all you've done this whole trip is be a traumatized arse that complains about gay dragons only to admit that he's gay!" Qibli added, half jokingly.
"EXCUSE ME?!"
MEANWHILE
Moon sat solemnly in front of the mirror in her barrack room, contemplating what to do.
The future changed again....this time, Darkstalker stays buried....but at what cost? She tilted her head back to catch the sunlight streaming through the narrow window. It seems I can't untangle a good future in all of this....no matter what I try, someone either ends up dead, brainwashed, or changed beyond recognition. She cursed softly under her breath, breaking one of her few moral rules.
"Eris damn it all, why is this so difficult?"
Moon had always been different from other dragonets. She could read minds across the board, see the future, speak in tongues...
She was every horny teenage dragon's nightmare.
And yet, the mastery of her ability she had gained at a very young age...
