*2 icewings and a strange dragon with blue markings walk over to an oddly shaped snow drift*

Icewing 1: this is the place....

Icewing 2: yeah, now you'll let us go right? Right?

???: yes....now kindly leave before i change my mind...and do not reveal this to the current queen.

Icewing 2: whatever half-pint.

???: *infuriated growl*

*the icewings run off, not wanting to upset her*

???: well then....*pulls out an odd looking spear* I just hope they were right...*she starts digging away till she hears a metallic clang* .....*steps back stabbing the spear into the snowy ground* ....*starts furiously digging through the snow before she finds part of a much larger object* ....three moons they were right.....*tries to pull it out only to realize she can't* .....right. Hard way it is then.

Duna: hm..*going over maps*

Winter: looking for a location?

Duna: yes....during the madness with Darkstalker those months ago, Red told me of the punishment Darkstalker had in mind for him...

Winter: ......what was it?

Duna: well....*whispers what it is*

Winter: ....if peacemaker comes out as twisted like that....he'll need to be put down....

Duna: yeah, and from what i know there are 2 eggs....i want to find the dragonets.

Winter: and to do that you need to find Icicle...

Duna: yeah....

Winter: hm....well, there are a few locations. *he marks down where Icicle could be*

[the library]

Duna: *walks into the library* Starflight...

Starflight: yes?

Duna: i need to know something....how much do you know about the myth of the spear?

Starflight: hm...if i recall, it was made by an icewing animus long before Darkstalker's time. Though it was lost and the reason behind its creation was lost to time.

Duna: hm...so no more then what i already knew then....

Starflight: oh?

Duna: it was an old legend i heard growing up.

Starflight: hm...so it was old even for the time you hatched to.....by the way, how old are you?

Duna: oh, i'm at least a year older then the DoD and runaways....so roughly the same age as Peril.

Starflight: *slight cring* oh....well....i hope you don't have any-*he stops feeling what he thinks is the air landing over his nose*-what?

Duna: it's called silk.

Starflight: it's...like the air is solidified...it's so strange.

Duna: huh....well, the way Red describes it it's like the light and wind come together.
