Wings of Fire ~ A Special Snowflake

Snowflake was a normal icewing dragonet. Blueish-white scales and a disciplined, icy personality, living within his parent's sixth circle. As normal as normal can get. He had no idea how much his life was about to change.

His goal was to become the highest ranked adult dragon in his family, and his dream was already in reach. He just turned six years old, and through hard work and tiresome training, he had made it to the top of the fifth dragonet circle. If only he could reach the fourth circle by his seventh birthday, he would be happy with being an upper-middle class citizen of the ice kingdom.

However, there are many dragons attempting to thwart his success. The lowerclass icewings are jealous of his advancements, while the higherclass are skeptical.

While dealing with these challenges, Snowflake discovers a strange rock after following a streak of light deep within the tundra. Upon touching the rock, his claws fill with power unlike any other.

A week after the incident, an elderly nightwing meets him at the edge of the icewing border to deliver a special message:

Behold the power of the stars
Beware, for you may bear invisible scars

Your talons of ice
Will no longer be used to slice

But this new power you possess
May leave you in distress

Cease your strife
And become a dragon of life

Else, you will be a dragon of death
Heed my warning till' your final breath
