Wings Of Fire {A Frozen Tale}

Prologue

~ PROLOGUE ~

NightWings. NightWings everywhere. A whole tribe of the mysterious dragons finally came countering on Queen Glacier's palace. The kingdom filled with hoarding black lizards, and many IceWings had been fleeing away and leaving the Hatchery.

Queen Glacier hurried to her eggs, tucking each safely under her wing. Her tail lashed dangerously while her palace was being intruded by NightWings. Her deep black eyes glimmered to be cautious on any sneaking shadow. Of course she was worried about her eggs! They were going to be future dragonets, and possibly maybe even Kings and Queens!

"Search the whole area!" one NightWing soldier ordered. "Find the Queen! Crush her eggs on sight!"

The Queen of the IceWings was terrified. Surely Blaze hadn't allied secretly between her other sister, Blister, into talking with the NightWings. She possibly couldn't think about that! She was in the middle of an abduction of somewhat! She would risk her life defending her only eggs! Her husband was already gone, and maybe even killed!

Suddenly, a NightWing came bashing through the Hatchery doors. It bawled through the icy flooring as Queen Glacier flung shards of ice that jutted out beneath her talons. One managed to rip through the NightWing's scales along it's tail, earning the Queen a shriek of despair. The NightWing soldier stumbled along the slippery ground, crashing against the ice barrier beside Glacier.

Another set of NightWings burned through with their fire, along with Morrowseer leading in front.

The Queen eyed the ambush that occurred on her, and she tightened her clutch against her eggs. At least she knew they were okay; one or maybe two eggs began shaking and rattling like those small future Queens or Kings would want to see the world now. They certainly wouldn't want to see the world in this situation.

"Surround the Queen. Snatch the eggs," Morrowseer bickered. "And crush them."

About four NightWings uncoiled from the group and charged for Glacier's wing.

Queen Glacier's chest heaved fast in effort. She puffed out a plume of her ice-breath, and very few of the dragons swarmed in agony. The Queen struck perfectly still, eyeing their pain-filled movements. Her wing tucked the eggs tightly between her scales, and one NightWing was able to flee away from her attack. The soldier rammed into her scales, clawing at her wing.

Queen Glacier shrieked with excruciating pain, clutching her torn wing with her claws.

The NightWing snapped at her other wing, but Glacier's tail was able to strike first. She whacked it against the soldier's wing, leaving a tare on his scales. The NightWing cowardly stumbled back, and retreated.

"Coward!" Morrowseer bellowed. "Wisdom! Get back here!"

The Queen suddenly made a move to shoot out from the canopy that toppled piece by piece. She will leave the NightWings grinded into the undergrounds of her palace. She lunged forward, her wings snapping open. Although on the way up, she dropped six of her eggs. And the NightWings swiftly snatched them before they escaped away as well. The Queen was only left with one egg left . . .

"Glacier?! Hurt?! Her wing torn, and her eggs left behind?!" Blaze roared through the halls of her SandWing den. She laid perfectly outraged on blankets of camel fur. Her newly bejeweled scales shimmered with fury.

"Yes, Your Majesty," a SandWing soldier bowed. "We will be of grateful help to Queen Glacier, if you wish."

Blaze began to simmer down from her rage, and began to panic. "Oh please please please! I don't want to find her hurt, or even DEAD!" She began to wither on her sport like a flower in the desert without any fresh water. She dramatically coiled her whole shimmering scales and laid there, hurt.
