The ice kingdom was miserable. Greyscales would give anything to live somewhere else. The other day, he had been kicked off the rankings because he had complained to the queen about it. It didn't take long for the other icewings to find out. The entire tribe would either giggle to one another when greyscales passed or they glared at him. If they talked they would say: "what a traitor" "how dare he dishonour the rankings." "We've worked hard to earn our places"
Or they would make fun of his scales. The reason his name was greyscales was beacause his scales were a deep grey. He had been made fun of all his life. Greyscales looked into the river. Snowflakes fell from the sky into the water. He looked at his reflection. He looked across the river and saw another icewing. She was the regular whiteish blue. But her eyes were big and a pale blue like the sky. Greyscales expected her to laugh at him or try to attack him. But she just stared at him, curiously. "Um hello?" He said. The icewing flew across the river and landed next to him. "Hi my names drift!" She said. "I'm greyscales." He replied. "I can see why!" She joked. For the next two years, they talked at the same spot by the river until one day, drift was more cheery than usual. "Guess what," she smiled. "What?" Greyscales asked. "I'm an animus!" Drift exclaimed. "W-what?!" Greyscales heard stories of animus dragons going crazy. He didn't want that to happen to drift. "I'm not gonna go crazy." Drift reassured. "You don't know that." Greyscales protested. "You still trust me, right?" Drift asked. Greyscales didn't answer. "I knew it. I can't trust you either." Drift hissed. The next day greyscales went to the river but drift wasn't there. Maybe she's not here yet. He thought. When she finally came, she wasn't as happy as she always was. "I lied." She hissed. "You're not an animus?" Greyscales asked. "I'm an animus, but I'm NOT your friend." She said. "I'm your enemy." . "What do you mean?" Greyscales asked. "I've been working with queen glacier this whole time. I always knew I was animus. And I'm not sorry." The snow that was falling began to fall faster and harder. "I enchant this dragon to be turned into a statue." Drift hissed. "I-i thought were friends." Greyscales said before he turned to stone. The last thing he saw before his eyes turned to stone was drift laughing. Now he wasn't greyscales. He was stonescales
