Camping Out

Oasis was in the camp. She was safe for now. We captured a SandWing spy. I interrogate her. I  find nothing in her. I think of bringing MoonWatcher here, but she is in Pantala hanging out with a LeafWing. Moon dreamvisted me about a week ago, she must be feeling the prophecies. 

"Winter," Oasis groans. "Let me talk to the SandWing. She will listen to me." I nod. I want to scream I will go with you, but if I do that the SandWing won't spill the scorpions.  I decide to head to Possibility. It is only about a few hours flying. I fly quicker than normal. Princess Anemone of the SeaWings is there. 

"Winter, Moon said you would be here. I brought Tamarin too." Tamarin blushes hearing Anemone including her name. Tamarin has a flower crown on her. I nod. 

"What did she say?" I grunt. My voice cracks. I was not expecting a blind RainWing and animus SeaWing. Kinkajou is right I am tortured on the inside, and it reflects out on my thoughts and my words.

"She told us to relay the prophecy." Tamarin shied away at my grunt. A part of me says, "Good, be scared little RainWing.", but the other part of me says, "I am worse than I thought." 

"What prophecy?" Oasis walks out. Tamarin and Anemone bow instantly and pure your majesty. Oasis flinches at the sudden movement.

Anemone stands up and whales the sand off her.

"Fire against Ice,
Truths are buried.
A queen to fall, and a queen to raise
Burning the sand,
Freezing the ice,
The way to end
Is to begin all over." Tamarin's voice rasps. Prophecies again! Why can't anyone speak normal around here

"What is that supposed to mean?" I ask Tamarin aggressively. 


Burn PoV

He thought he could hide from me. 

 "Sunny, dear, be a doll and follow me. If you don't behave, say 'Hello!' to Thorn for me," I sneer. Everything works out on the end. After all there is more than one way to win a war. My spy led me to Qibli. Qibli should be smart enough to figure it out. A little dragnet spy. 

 "Burn, we have sent the army ahead, and they are in position." Six-Claws confirms. 

"Don't call me Burn. Address me as your majesty or General Burn."
