Nightshade ☝️tell me if I should fix the grey stripes on his wings. I've got some mixed feelings about them.
"Get back. I'll take him on." Fastfuture growled.
"Listen I just wanted to talk." The Leafwing said.
Fastfuture growled but stepped aside.
"Honeydew. I got this letter. No doubt other assassins got the same. I came to warn you. Or kill you." He laughed handing me the letter.
I chuckled a little reading briefly reading over it.
"Anyway. Why would Sunspot do this? I thought we were so close." I asked.
"Jealousy. She wants to be queen. That's my guess."
"Yeah. Nova. Get Nightshade." Galaxy said.
Nova nodded.
"Maybe. Maybe she wants a dragon that likes you to love her. And if he sees you dead then he'll lean on her. And then he'll fall in love with her."
"Yeah. Oh I'm sorry. I didn't catch your name." I said smiling.
"Toxic."
"Wait. Oh no. We need to save Evergreen. Oh he's in so much danger. And my mother. And possibly Queen Rarity's egg. Oh moons. We need to get to Pantala right now." I yelled.
"Hey calm down. It's alright." Toxic said putting his wing around me.
"What's happening?" A Nightwing growled.
I looked back and saw Nightshade. He was sparkly. Mother never let me in on there meetings. I only saw glimpses of him when he entered or left.
"Honeydew?" Nightshade said in disbelief, "I didn't know you were here. Why didn't anyone tell me you were here."
Nightshade growled at a couple of Nightwings. They winced.
"What's the purpose of your visit. Did your mother send you?" He asked.
"My mother didn't send me." I answered.
He seemed to be a little hurt.
"Oh but if she did she would be sending all her... regards." I said.
Nightshade nodded.
"Well Honeydew. This is my wife Galaxy. And my daughter Nova. And my son Fastfuture."
Toxic looked at Nightshade. He tilted his head.
"You remember me. You meet me once. When you were barely a month old." Nightshade said booping my snout.
I pulled my snout back and looked down.
"I've never meet a Hivewing before. Is that what they all look like?" Galaxy asked.
"Oh no. I mean ink splotches are pretty common on Silkwing Hivewing hybrids or just Hivewings. We're just Silkwings but not born wingless. I'm surprised Sunspot hatched with wings."
"Oh. Who's- Who's Sunspot?" Nightshade asked.
"My cousin."
Nightshade sighed.
"Father who's Queen Aphid?" Nova asked.
"An old friend."
"Can you tell us about this old friend?" Galaxy asked.
"Yeah. It's been 7 years. Two years before you two were even born even thought of." Nightshade chuckled.
"I'm almost 7. So maybe I was created." I said.
"And I'm 12." Toxic said.
"My friend Evergreen is 6. He's great. I wish he was here." I said looking at my claws.
"Oh the wonderful prince Evergreen." Toxic said.
"Evergreen aye. Mind talking about him?" Nightshade asked.
"Well he's my friend. And a Leafwing. Will do anything to protect me because he thinks I'm not afraid to use me venom. And he's right. I sure hope he tried to save me when those Silkwings took me." I wondered, "anyway you were going to talk about my mother. And how you knew her."
Nightshade sighed.
"Like I said. It was 7 years ago..." Nightshade started.
