The Skywing dragon raced across the sky over the mountains, out of Queen Ruby's palace. Burn was after him. His wings beat harder and faster as he raced across the blue expanse. He was carrying the drongs of prophesy Skywing egg.

A blast a fire stung through his wing, making him spiral out of control. He went crashing down to the nearest ledge.

"Well well well. This is a surprise isn't it boys?" A group of dragons landed next to him, evil smiles on their faces.

"Now tell me. Why would you be trying to steal Queen Ruby's egg?" One of them spoke, words drawn out, almost as if he was enjoying this.

"This is the prophesy egg. Dont touch it." The injured dragon snarled. He curled his lips up to reveal sharp, glimmering teeth.

"Don't tell me what to do! I am Burn, the soon to be Sandwing queen," she yelled back. Her strong voice bounced off the mountains and echoed back.

"This egg must be very important. It would be very sad if I dropped... oops."

"Noooo!" The Firewing screeched before the egg fell to the ground.

"Snap his neck. Take the body back to Ruby," she growled angrily. Her eyes were filled with fiery hatred, pointed directly at the Skywing male.

With the declaration and a flash, they were gone.

"Flipper!" I screeched from the cave door.

"What is it? Did you find the Sandwing egg yet?"

"Yes, but I have bad news. As I was flying back I saw Burn with my brother, and the Skywing egg was broken." I replied.

"Oh my. This is bad. We have all the dragonets eggs, but the Skywing now..." Flipper trailed off.

"Flip what are we gonna do? The prophesy says 5 dragonets save the day. Not 4."

"Dont worry, Rose. I'll find another one. Stay with Mound and help with the nursery."

Flip dove into the cave water and was gone.
