Silver walked next to Gradient as he explained his plan, "Ok, so... If we're in a time before the sandwing succession war then um... You need to pretend to be a prince and I'll be your loyal guard." Gradient said shyly as they neared the ice palace. Gradient suddenly grabbed Silver's shoulder and flapped his wings wide bring them both up over the palace walls.

Gradient and Silver both looked down a bit afraid, it was strange no dragons had stopped them and they were quite high up now. Gradient then said, "We should be able to glide down, I'll go first." Gradient then jumped down with his wings spread wide, he nearly hit the wall but missed, Silver followed quickly behind but unfortunately he hit the wall.

Silver groaned as he fell to the floor, he had hit the wall with his snout quite hard, "Are you ok, Silver?" Gradient asked with worry in his voice, Silver nodded. Gradient helped Silver up as they entered the palace, all was quite and nobody was in sight.

Gradient and Silver walked up to a area near a window, it looked like stained glass made of ice, suddenly there was lots of yelling coming from down the hall. Silver quickly looked down and saw a icewing and a few nightwings running away from some icewing guards, Silver realized what this was, Arctic and Foeslayer running away.

Gradient seemed to also recognize it and said, "I have a plan, but we got to distract those guards." Silver nodded and they quickly descended in between the nightwings and Icewing guards. They all looked confused to see Gradient but they seemed absolutely shocked to see a dragon like Silver as he Descended more slowly.

One of the messing guards then looked at the other guards and said, "Why'd we stop the queen ordered us to-" Gradient suddenly intervened by saying, "May I ask what your Queen has requested of you to do to these dragons?" The guard then growled and said, "None of your business, hybrid and freak."

Silver was about to say something but felt Gradient had a plan, "You dare call the Prince of Silkwings a freak? Do you have no honor or do you wish for war?" Gradient said in a very convincing hiss, Silver joined in with a attempt at a insulted yet royal look. The guard quickly glared at them clearly thinking it was a joke before seemingly buying their lie.

The guard bowed, "O-oh, um... Sorry, I just never heard of Silkwings or um their royalty, we do not wish for war!" The guard stuttered, Gradient nodded with a small smile and said, "Very well, now we'll talk to these prisoners, I assume?" The guard then stammered over her words and said, "Well, the ice wing is our prince and he was trying to um.. Run away with the Nightwin-"

Gradient had a small evil smile that told Silver that they were about to do something great, "Wait, your prince is running away, why's that, don't you allow cross tribe relations?" The guard stammered but Gradient continued, "Or is your queen afraid of losing her beloved son to the nightwings?" The guard continued seemingly looking for a answer that wouldn't be offensive to Gradient who was a clear hybrid.

Silver then stepped forward trying to look as royal as he could as he then said, "If this is how your tribe treats princes then we may have a problem as all the tribes from where I come from consider it a great insult to control your prince's heart for any reason." The guard looked horrified at them mentioned of possibly multiple tribes going to war and she said, "Um.... I... What I ment is we were letting them go, right everyone?" Most the guards nodded some simply stood frozen like they were made of ice, Gradient then said, "Very well, me and Prince Silver shall escort them to wherever they were going, tell your queen that any interference will cause war that even animus dragons can't win." The guard gulped and nodded as they left.

Soon, Silver and Gradient were flying with the Nightwings and Arctic, Gradient then laughed a bit and said nervously, "That was definitely the best performance I've ever done!" They all looked shocked at Gradient and Silver as suddenly Arctic then said, "Wait, that was all a act?" Silver nodded and said, "Yeah, we saw on wherein trouble and figured whatever happened must have been unjustified in some way." Arctic then hissed a bit, "It should e a crime to impersonate a Prince." But there was a air of respect from them all as Silver and Gradient kept flying with them.
