The first thing one might notice when walking into Queen Hurricane's throne room is that she was enormous. Even bigger than Morrowseer the NightWing* or even Queen Oasis the SandWing* would be in the future. Since her hatching day, she was known as a "storm cloud." Occasionally, lightning flashed in her wings along with rumbles of thunder, and a tornado whirled just above the tip of her tail.
Storm and her sisters bowed before their mother.
"What's up?" Queen Hurricane asked, quite casually, for a dragon of such high rank.
"STRATUS IS TRYING TO KILL US!" Crystal burst out. "HE BLEW DOWN OUR PALACE WITH A HURRICANE!" Storm reached into Crystal's thoughts and heard, I hope she kills him. He deserves to die. I never liked him in the first place. And I might just kill him myself if Mom doesn't want to.
Storm was shocked, though she had been suspecting it a little by now. She'd always thought Crystal was just an annoying little sister who really didn't mean any harm. In her mind, Crystal had just been an annoying pain in the scales, nothing more. But now she had discovered her sister's real personality.
It turned out that Crystal was as murderous and sinister as Stratus after all.
