{1} The Storm

It seemed like a dark day for Alba. It was storming outside, were the dragons mad? Nobody knew if they were or if some sort of event was going on. The young hatchling poked her head out of the egg shell and started eating the yolk of it. A few storm and lightning dragons were gathered up in the sky lands unable to stop the storm. Another young hatchling scurried out of the Volcano. The rain slowly flooded the land, the swamp was already covered in water. The young hatchling who looked like a red and slimy lizard sat on Ebony's rock. It looked inside of the cave and quickly scurried inside when the lightning sounded. A mature Ice Dragon walked out into the rain while freezing the rain into hail before it fell on her however when the ice landed on her scales it melted and dripped off. The Ice Dragon made her way over to the swamp and froze the water, yet it seemed to melt yet again. She went up to see what was going on in the sky lands, the home of the storm, lightning, cloud or any other dragon capable to fly and live there. The small hatchlings poked their heads out to admire the frosty-blue scales of the Ice Dragon as she flew by. Their mothers quickly pulled them inside, afraid the rain would drown them. The Ice Dragon thrashed her tail on an island made out of stone and a storm dragon poked it's head out and stared at her. The Storm Dragon stared at her for a while then quickly flew back into the small den. She knew she would have to try later, returning to the Ice Mountain she sighed and set her head upon the leaves laid upon the snow-covered ice. The humming of the small crystal seemed to create a small lullaby. Though it was louder than the Ice Dragon's heartbeat it seemed so quiet and so soft. She closed her eyes and drifted into the dream world.
