Crystal's POV
Storm was SO dumb, just about the dumbest, most stupid dragon in the whole of the Cloud Kingdom. She'd never suspected anything all these years, and thought that Crystal - Queen Crystal - was just a shallow, sassy, annoying little sister, a pain in the scales, nothing more. And now she would PAY. Big time. Crystal had more than met the eye, and she was about to prove it.
Queen Crystal looked in the ice mirror in her room, checking on her newly sharpened, serrated claws. She imagined Storm's blood on them, and smiled. Pyrrhia was overcast today, a perfect day for revenge, she thought.
Now came the harder part. She couldn't just march up to her subjects and announce, "Okay, guys, I'm going out to kill my sister! Be good!"
She would have to lie, which was something she was good at anyway. In a matter of seconds, a reasonable story concocted itself in her mind. Leaping onto her ice-carved throne, she said, "I must visit my sister Queen Storm for urgent reasons. Downpour will keep in charge while I'm gone."
With that, she swept out the door of her palace in a flourish and flew off toward the Night Kingdom.
