Wolf awoke the next morning to Tucuxi snoring beside him, he wondered what Pika was up too, and how Queen Avalanche had reacted to Lemmings death. The thought of this bought tears to his eyes as he walked, as fast as he could, towards the cave entrance. "Hey, that's Summer. And Vaquita, but who is the other dragon?" Wolf thought, the tears clearing from his eyes, noticing the familiar shapes of dragons flying towards him.
"Hey, Tu!" He called. The sleepy seawing appeared beside him, almost instantly. Tucuxi's eyes widened.
"They're back! They're back!" He squealed, running in circles like a tiny dragonet. Vaquita snorted, dazedly at her brother, hugging him.
"What happened to you?" Tucuxi asked, stepping back, spotting a pool of blood was forming at Vaquita's feet. Vaquita, looked at her feet, her eyes glazed over, as if she were dizzy.
"An attack," she mumbled, off balance on her feet, "A war has started."
Summer, who was also wounded, ushered her away from the entrance, Wolf turned to the new dragon, a nightwing, with polished navy scales, grey-blue eyes and neatly trimmed claws. Her star spots seemed to burst out, more like supernovas than stars and she wore silver earrings with sapphire pendants, and then turned to Tucuxi, who seemed to read his thoughts; "Who attacked and why isn't the newcomer injured?"
The nightwing lifted a claw in greeting, just as Summer limped back to the group.
"This is Andromeda" the hybrid said, "She saved us!"
Andromeda smiled, but the smile vanished quickly.
"Wh-what happened to the egg?" She asked. Summer lifted her wing in response, under the wing was a leather pouch, large enough to hold an egg.
"You said something about a prophecy earlier?" Vaquita, who was now covered in white bandages said, from behind Wolf, spooking him, Vaquita stepped forward, curious. Andromeda nodded, taking a deep breath,
"When the Earth shakes red,
Blood will be shed,
When white snow crumbles,
Blood will be shed,
When the mud grows grey and the sea grows quiet,
The rodent will rise,
Beware the dolphins storm,
And the talons thunder,
Beware the flames typhoon,
And the rats thunder.
Frost will rise,
And wounds will be healed,
When frost does rise,
A king will fall."
"What could it mean?" Vaquita asked no-one in particular, her green eyes wide, something clicked inside Wolf's brain, when white snow crumbles, could that refer to the recent earthquakes and avalanches back home? And Queen Avalanches meeting? Wolf decided to keep this to himself, the others didn't need to know this. Yet.
