Star, sun and moon

Chapter 3

*Winter point of view*

The last thing Winter wanted to do was to leave the hug with Moon. He waited so much time to see her again, but he knew it wouldn't last much more time. She will have to go back to the school, and he couldn't go with her, sadly. She made her choice, so made it again wouldn't made the things better for him and for her. But was so difficult to accept that Qibli won Moon's heart.

"Winter...I think...that I made a mistake. Days after the war with the Icewings Darkstalker told me to stay with Qibli instead of you. He said that I would be much happier with Qibli and that you must do awful things. But I know you need me. I need you, Winter. I have hope that I will be much happier with you. I shouldn't listen to Darkstalker, I don't understand why he did this to me. Sorry to say this only now. Sorry to listen to Darkstalker. I understand if you don't want me anymore, but I have to tell you that you always were my first option." Moon explained wiping away tears. She looked at his eyes, with hers silver scales shining.

"I need you too, Moon. But Qibli needs you more" Winter said. It was a lie for Winter, for him, nobody needs more Moon than himself.

"I talked to Qibli. He knew that someday this will happen. And the day is today. Please Winter, I believe that you have a warm heart behind your cold scales. Qibli is very strong and funny. He'll survive this. Can we be together without any supervillain and crazy prophecy?"

This certainly was a dream. Moon wouldn't give him a second chance after all the yells he gave to her. For Winter, there was no more Winter and Moon. There was no more anything he liked to do with her. For him, there were only his meetings with Kinkajou to capture some scavengers and his work to make Sanctuary real, but this talk to Moon could change everything. "Make this real. You love her and you want to be with her and you know that you will not yell to her anymore. Make this real, Winter." Winter though.

"Yes Moon, we could if I was a better dragon. I yell to you every time I get angry and that makes me sad. I don't deserve you." He explained sadly.

"Winter, you are a better dragon. You changed a lot and I will help you to control your anger."

"Do you want to stay with me, Moon?"

"Yes, forever," said she smiling "but now let's enjoy this beautiful day. I don't want to talk to anyone anymore. I explained this story five times today."

"We can go to the rainforest to catch some scavengers," Winter said wishing that she want to do this "Kinkajou can be there too"

"Yes, this is a great idea, I miss Kinkajou too. So let's go!" Moon said and flew east to the rainforest. Winter was still shocked about everything, so it took a little time to process the information that Moon was already flying.

"I thought you were a better flier" Moon said, brushing her wings on his.

"I AM an excellent flier" he replied "You are fling fast! Wait for me!"

It was already evening when they passed from the Claws of the Clouds Mountains. Winter's wings felt heavy, but he wanted to impress Moon but, by the way, she wasn't noticing. After some time, he was extremely exhausted.

"Moon, I am a little tired and it is almost night, so can we stop and rest?" Winter asked shyly

"Why are you asking? Of course! Qibli gave me a very nice scroll and I am very excited to read it" Moon said going down. Winter felt bad because he never gave any scroll to Moon but he vanished this thought fastly. They hunted a wild pig for dinner. Moon was a little inquiet, and Winter wasn't liking that.

"What's going on, Moon?"

"Nothing to worry about," she told him. After one minute she complemented "I'm thinking why Darkstalker did that to me."

"Maybe because he is a crazy homicidal?" he said. Moon gave him a septic look and continued as if he said nothing.

"I think he didn't want to lose me. He thought that he would be the king of Phyrria and he would have much more trouble if I partner you than Qibli. You hate him and probably you would influence me to dislike him more."

"Aham" Winter said without carrying very much. He didn't mind what Darkstalker did to convince Moon that Qibli was the right choice, he only minded that now Moon think that he was the best choice, obviously. He chose a reasonable place to sleep, because nothing could be compared to the Ice Kingdom.

After his parents knowing that he was alive, he started becoming a disappointment to his family. Not that he was the family pride, but now he was in a worse place. He missed Hailstorm, his bed, the palace, and the cold of the Ice kingdom. Queen Snowfall didn't prohibit him from going there, but Winter was sure if he goes, everyone will act strange with him and this was very bad to himself. Every day he suffers missing his old life, but now he could be with Moon. Now he has Moon. Forever, if what she said was true. He could have a better life. He could be happy. He could be happy again.
