Wings of Fire: Winter is Coming ((DISCONTINUED))

Chapter 1: The Legend

"Your Majesty, you must believe me," Destinybringer begs as he sat in front of the NightWing throne, where Queen Starflicker sat. Envy and Newt sat beside the queen's throne, watching the matter unfold.

"I've... I've seen this dark presence multiple times, and my visions has been showing the same outcome. Death. Snow. Ice. Whoever this dragon is, I fear that this unseen and undetected enemy will make its move upon our kingdom soon, and if we do not act now, our kingdom will fall!"

Starflicker seemed to flinch lightly towards the end of Destinybringer's sentence, but she only flapped her wings lightly as she adjusted her posture. "For this so-called, 'dark presence', what do you think we should do about it, Destinybringer?"

"I know a guild of dragons who can help," Destiny unfurled his wings. "The Pure Ones. They're ancient dragon warriors that were used to defend Pyrrhia from dragons who intend on destroying the continent and has the actual ability to, so they pose as a threat. They've fought many battles in the pass, before Darkstalker. But Pyrrhia has been at peace for a while now, so, no world corruption or destruction equals no Pure Ones."

Starflicker rolled her eyes. "You're saying that a mythical group of dragons are supposed to help us?"

"All due respect, Your Majesty, but the Pure Ones surely do exist. Just because that you haven't seen them with your eyes does not mean they're merely a legend."

Envy felt like every fiber of him was vibrating with anticipation. He's never heard of a group of dragons called the 'Pure Ones' before. From how Destinybringer was describing it, the Pure Ones seemed to be epic, ferocious dragons who'd do anything to save the continent. Were they animus? A different species of dragon? Envy continued to listen to Destiny and Starflicker's small debate.

"And you're saying that you've seen a Pure One before?" Starflicker flicked her tongue, glaring at the NightWing.

Destinybringer cowered lowly, but stood up tall again. "No, but I've heard of many stories an--"

"Stories. Stories, Destinybringer," Starflicker interrupts with a quiet hiss. "That's my point. You act like Envy when he was a little dragonet-- believing in stories that aren't even real."

"The Legend of Darkstalker was a story, and he's-- well, was real." Destinybringer said.

Destinybringer had a good point. Darkstalker, the all-powerful NightWing hybrid who was also the most powerful dragon in Pyrrhia, was deemed a myth, until the Orbs of the Sky had awoken him two thousands years later. No one believed that he was alive, or even existed. The terrifying 'myth' was simply asleep for that time, the survivors writing his history for him. But sometimes Envy wishes it stayed that Darkstalker would've never woke up. Darkstalker was a horrifying dragon, who had animus magic and strong foresight and mind-reading abilities.. he had even killed Queen Glacier and many other IceWings. Envy had forgotten how Darkstalker was defeated, but it certainly wasn't from a band of dragon soldiers, if he remembered correctly.

Destiny turned, glancing at Envy and Newt who were just staring back at him. "Listening to our conversation, huh?" He said, smiling. "Do you two know who the Pure Ones are?"

Envy shook his head, but Newt spoke. "Are they some kind of... fight-for-peace organization? Like... the Talons of Peace?"

"The Talons of Peace has never gotten into a physical battle," Destinybringer corrects. "But, otherwise, yes, you are correct. Like I mentioned before, they fight battles to protect our home." Destinybringer flicked his tail. "I can tell you more stories, if you'd like, dragonets."

Starflicker scoffed a laugh. "Please, I'd be rather grateful if you do not give these dragonets nightmares over a story."

Destinybringer sighs as he signaled Newt and Envy to follow him, and the old NightWing walked out the throne room, ducking under the curtains that hung in the doorway. Envy greeted council dragons and guards with waves and smiles, while Newt stood close to his friend. IceWings and NightWings was not enemies anymore, but Newt still got side-glances and occasional growls from the NightWings, especially the elders. If Newt was not allowed in the palace, his head would've been ripped off the moment he set a talon on NightWing territory and Envy could do nothing about it.
