Frantic wing beats came toward Moonwatcher as she lay in the darkness of a cave on Jade Mountain. Then a big crash sounded at the opening. "Am..I... Late? Says Winter in gasping breaths."No, but it cracked a little when you came thundering over here" Moonwatcher says with a smile. Winter doesn't look happy though, "Will it come out all weird looking because I cracked it? What if it has a horrible life because of meee?" Moonwatcher is now giggling. Winter gives her a sharp, but loving look.

Before they could talk more a big CRACK made them look down. A tiny claw was sticking out of the egg. Winter looked worried when he saw only black scaled on the wiggling claw. "What if it is only Nightwing? Or still really odd looking?" Moonwatcher looked up at him "if it is weird looking will you not love it?" Winter looked at her then the silly wiggling claws. "I will love it no matter what" he said in a big, strong, loud voice.

Then the egg shattered and a small little dragon, with black and blue scales was staring at her parents with big blue eyes. Moon looked closely at her daughters eyes and say a big silver scale, like hers, but had two more small silver scales next to it. Winter gasped. "She is perfect, and adorable" Moon looked at him grinning. "Tough guy." Winter puts on his worrier face and said "what should we name her?" This made them both think and examine the little dragon.

"What about silver?" Says Moonwatcher. Winter shakes his head. "The only silver on her is her eyes" the little dragonet was now chewing on Winters tail. "How about tail chewer?" He said jokingly. Then the little dragon stopped and stared at him, looking upset. "Okay that's not your name" he says back, picking up the dragonet. Just then, Moon says, "Darkstorm!" Winter looked at her then his daughter in his arms. "I'm ok with that, how about that little one?" He says looking at the dragonet. She looked happy then reached for Moonwatcher. "Hello my little Darkstorm" she says. Darkstorm did a little "ark" and hugged Moonwatcher. Moon reached over for Winters talon and they all stared up at the night sky.
