Silver followed Darkstalker as soon as he began leaving, he had told Whiteout to tell Arctic and Foeslayer to head back to the nightwing palace in case he needed help convincing Darkstalker to stop. Silver was worried, if Darkstalker did kill Queen Vigilance, he wouldn't stop there, plus Gradient would be absolutely heart broken.

Soon, Silver had caught up to Darkstalker a bit and quickly used his safe flamesilk and frostsilk to stop Darkstalker, but he expertly dodged through it. Silver had to dive down a bit to ensure the silk didn't tie him up, as he did Darkstalker sped up, clearly aware that this would make a larger gap between them.

Quickly they were approaching the palace, Silver got ready to land when Darkstalker suddenly dove down drastically, to drastically for Silver to even attempt. Silver noticed how he had landed close to entrance to the palace, Silver was confused as to why he wouldn't just go for the throne room, but Silver dove through the opening and landed with a loud crash in front of the Queen.

"What is the meaning of this?" Queen Vigilance demanded with a hiss, Silver then quickly said, "Darkstalker is coming to kill you, you need to leave fast!" Queen Vigilance quickly masked whatever fear she had and said, "Very well, I suppose we don't have long-" she was interrupted by two of the palace guards being thrown into the room bloody and bruised.

At the throne room entrance stood Darkstalker, a look of anger and hatred on his snout, he was untouched but someone was trying to hold him back by the tail, Clearsight. Darkstalker clearly wouldn't dare harm Clearsight, so he simply used his animus magic on one of the banners to wrap around her and pin her to the ground.

Darkstalker seemed unbeatable, clearly he had destroyed his scroll in order to not have to wait to use his spells, but now all that stood between him and Queen Vigilance was Silver. Silver took a deep breath and gently approached Darkstalker, his calmness seemingly surprising Darkstalker.

"Darkstalker, this rage isn't you, I know you can be good, sure Queen Vigilance wronged you, but still, she can change, all dragons can be better!" Silver said with a smile, Darkstalker seemed to consider this for a moment, guilt on his face for a brief moment before he then shot back, "No, I'm not just doing this form me, I'm doing everyone a favor, with me as king, I'll make everything better, father will be allowed to return home without worry, Mother will no longer be ridiculed for mating with a icewing, peace shall be achieved because of me."

Suddenly another banner came to life and quickly wrapped around Silver, pinning him down. As hope seemed lost from the window another dragon slid in, Gradient, he was wearing a silver chest plate and had a silver dagger in his talon, a eerie feeling emanated from him, he clearly wasn't happy at all.
