== Blurb ==
Iceclaw is a Night-Ice hybrid who hasn't been accepted by either of his tribes for his heritage and thus has to live hidden in the Sand Kingdom, where he has starved and lived as a street rat for his whole life. When the NightWings decide to form an empire-like alliance, the Naesal Empire, with other tribes to take down the IceWings, Iceclaw feels like its time for him to be the one to bring the tribes together.
== Prologue ==
He was only a couple months old, then working on his own to survive. A small, tiny dragonet prowled the dunes of the desert in the Kingdom of Sand, looking for something to eat. He caught a small meerkat, then quickly ran back to a small den about the size of him and ate it, which due to its size would keep the dragonet full for the next couple days. The dragonet was for sure not a SandWing, as it had the shape of a combination of a NightWing and IceWing with dark blue, silvery-ice scales and other shades of dark blue. He knew how to survive for some reason, and was doing a good job keeping away from the SandWings, in fear that they might kill him.
Iceclaw struggled to survive at first, but soon then adapted to the life of the Kingdom of Sand. He was a NightWing-IceWing hybrid, but both of his tribes didn't accept him for the two tribes being rivaled and killed his parents, mother Talonsplitter and father Brumal, a few days before he was born, throwing his egg into the Sand Kingdom hoping that it would die in there. The SandWings did not notice Iceclaw's egg, as it was buried deep in the sand, when the NightWings thought that if they buried the egg deep in the sand, when the dragonet hatches it will suffocate and die. However, the pressure on the sand to the egg gave Iceclaw some abilities that would help him survive in the desert, so he was doing great but had to stay away.
It was difficult to survive, but all changed when he met one SandWing a few days later. The SandWing was a year old dragonet who claimed her name to be Gamamora, who lived in a similar situation. The two lived together happily and survived with each other, sharing their stories of their past.
But it all changed the day they became adults.
== Chapter One ==
Gamamora searched around in the sand. She was looking for something, but Iceclaw couldn't tell what she was looking for. Gamamora was doing it for the past couple weeks, and to Iceclaw it was starting to get frightening.
"Excuse me, Gamamora," Iceclaw said as Gamamora reached her head into the sand like an ostrich, "why have you been digging around for the past couple weeks? I would have asked you earlier, but I just thought you were looking for like, treasure or something."
Gamamora lifted her head out of the sand. "The Eye of Onyx, Icie."
Iceclaw was surprised. "That belongs to the queens! Why do you think it would be in the sand?"
"It's a thing... I would prefer not to say the reason behind it. It's a bit personal to me."
"Okay then." Iceclaw then started to seem suspicious of Gamamora. He didn't know if Gamamora was planning to usurp the throne from the queen or if she was doing something good. He wasn't an expert on the SandWing culture and their queen, hiding from everyone in secret and all.
Gamamora looked at Iceclaw. "I know what you're thinking," she said. "Do you want to know what life would have been like back at home, in the Ice or Night Kingdom, wherever you would have been raised, instead of the Kingdom of Sand?"
Iceclaw seemed confused. "I'm not sure. I was just born and nobody was around, so I lived on my own. I never learned about parents or anywhere outside of the Kingdom of Sand."
"I see." Gamamora then caught a mouse that was near her talons. "What if we go back to where you were born?"
"How do you know where exactly I was born?" Iceclaw said. "I know I'm not from here. I don't fit into the natives like you."
"There are two places you might have came from. Ice Kingdom or Night Kingdom. You have both body features of an IceWing and a NightWing, so you for sure must be a hybrid. IceWings and NightWings are at war, so basically you're definitely discriminated. You could be a key to bringing the end of the war. Maybe an IceWing and NightWing fell in love in the midst of war, resulting in you, but they threw your egg over here thinking you would die."
"Possibly."
"Well then," Gamamora said as she did a striking, brave warrior pose, "let go end the war!"
== Chapter Two ==
Gamamora lead Iceclaw to the Ice Kingdom instead of the Night Kingdom, probably because they were closer. Gamamora looked at Iceclaw. "You see this?" she asked, pointing to a strong fortress outside of the kingdom. "That's a stronghold that throws spears at any dragon that it detects isn't an IceWing. Meaning I would die if I went. You'll need to go on your own. You look mostly IceWing, so it should think you're an IceWing.
Iceclaw gulped. He didn't know if this was the part where he was going to die or what. He was prepared to die just in case. He then leaped and flew as fast as he could over the gates, fearing that there were going to be arrows shooting at him. He was wrong. The arrows mistook him for an IceWing and let him in.
"Alright!" Gamamora cheered, "go Iceclaw go!"
Inside the Ice Kingdom, it was a whole new world to Iceclaw. It was so cold he felt like he was about to die. He went up to the nearest point of sunlight possible, catching a narwhal on the way and eating it. He sat on a rock, hoping to get used to the cold weather. Instead he was greeted by an IceWing.
She was pretty. She had dark blue eyes with silver snow* scales with light blue freckles on her snout and some light gray claws. "I've never seen you around."
"Oh, I've never went out much," Iceclaw said, trying not to blush. "I haven't met many here. Who are you?"
"My names's Apholo," the IceWing said. "And you are?"
"Iceclaw."
Apholo inspected Iceclaw for about ten seconds. "That sounds like a NightWing name. But I don't think you look like a NightWing at all. Are you a half-half? Half-halves are what I call hybrids, sorry if that sounds weird."
"No," Iceclaw lied. "Maybe a mutation of sorts."
"Oh, okay, well come meet all the other IceWings! You'll love it here!" Apholo said, walking to another group of IceWings.
Iceclaw followed Apholo. Maybe ending the war won't be as hard as I thought.
*totally not fire emblem reference like totally))
== Chapter Three ==
Iceclaw met Apholo's friends, other [pure] IceWings. Apholo pointed to a light blue female IceWing with white claws and horns. "That's TIzzysdia," she said. Then she pointed to a dark blue male IceWing with gray claws and other colors much darker than a normal IceWing's. "That's Grarrus. He's called the Braveheart here in the Ice Kingdom."
"Hi, Grarrus and Tizzysdia," Iceclaw said. "So, uh, hi is all I can say since I don't know what to say." Iceclaw began to shiver but tried to hide it.
Apholo noticed Iceclaw shivering. "Are you ok?" she asked. "IceWings don't shiver in the cold."
Iceclaw sighed. Do I tell her the truth? Should I tell her the truth? He decided no to. "Oh, sorry. Just some nervous feelings. It's okay, no need forcomforting."
"Oh, well you shouldn't ask for no help when you aren't okay," Grarrus replied. "Just tell us what's wrong and we can help!"
"Yeah!" Tizzysdia then looked at Grarrus, giving him that "you said what I wanted to say" look.
Iceclaw sighed. "Follow me. It's something I don't wish to discuss in public." He flew outside of the Ice Kingdom to the borders, where Gamamora was waiting.
"Oh, Iceclaw!" Gamamora greeted. "You good?"
"Yes, Gamamora. I need you to help me speak to these three IceWings. Oh, they're Apholo, Grarrus, and Tizzysdia."
"Okay," Gamamora said as she waved to the three IceWings.
Iceclaw sighed. "I'm sorry for lying about most things I said. I'm half IceWing and was never accepted by any of my tribes. I was thrown into the Sand Kingdom, where I met Gamamora right here, and forced to survive. They thought I would die. I would now like to bring peace to the two tribes again."
The three IceWings were silent, when Apholo spoke up. "I would love to do this. But would King Winter accept? Queen Gelida?"
"Anything for peace! Anything for peace!" Tizzysdia shouted. "I'm in!"
"Will agree with Tizzysdia," Grarrus replied. "I want to get peace! No wars, no worries!"
Apholo sighed. "Alright, I'm in."
== Chapter Four ==
The following night when Iceclaw was asleep, he kept getting strange voices. He was near the Ice Kingdom so the three IceWings accompanying him and Gamamora wouldn't get warm. Is someone dreamvisiting me? He looked around if there were voices coming from outside or somewhere nearby. Nobody. He fell back asleep only to be awoken again from them. Who are those whispers?
After trying to ignore them for the zillionth time, he stepped out so nobody could hear him. "What, voices in my head?" he whispered.
Oh, good, you finally noticed me, the voice said. Well, let me just warn you that the NightWings are planning a dangerous empire. The Naesal. I ran out of the kingdom to notify the IceWings, as I was friends with one. There was going to be a dragonet, but they stole the egg from me and then I felt pain in my back, then my vision went black..
"You sound like my mother," Iceclaw said. "My parents were NightWings and IceWings, at least I think so. I know I am. I never met my parents. I was born and nobody was there, so I lived on my own, met Gamamora, and here I am now. I'm allying myself with IceWings who think the same of no war, and here we are now again."
Are you my son? the voice replied. You sound like you would be!
"Maybe I am," Iceclaw said.
If you get to the Night Kingdom and/or ever talk to a NightWing, they would know me. Ask them if they knew a NightWing named Talonsplitter or an IceWing named Brumal.
== Chapter Five ==
Iceclaw was talking with everyone else about the voice dreamvisiting him. "Yeah," Gamamora agreed. "We should ask around. I can ask for you."
"Sure thing, now let's get to the NightWings," Iceclaw said. "Gamamora goes in, the rest stay behind."
"Roger!" Gamamora had a determined look on her face.
When the group got there, Iceclaw was nervous, but he had to ask one thing to Gamamora. "Could you ask the NightWings about Talonsplitter and Brumal? The voice told me to."
"Sure thing!" Gamamora went in as soon as ordered. She returned a couple hours later. "Good news. They told me about these Talonsplitter and Brumal guys."
"What did they say?"
"A NightWing said to me 'Talonsplitter was a NightWing trusted by the NightWing royal family. But one day she betrayed them when falling in love with an IceWing, Brumal, during the war. She produced an egg too! Horrified, the NightWings and IceWings killed the two and threw their egg into the Sand Kingdom and buried in the sand, hoping the dragonet would overheat, suffocate in the sand, and die.'"
"Oh, well, did you mention anything about me?"
"No."
"Oh."
"That's cruel!" Apholo shouted. "Just because you were of two warring tribes' blood, they threw you out to die as soon as you were born?!"
"It's true," Iceclaw sighed. "I lived and met Gamamora. Then you guys."
"One thing," Gamamora said. "They're launching an empire. The Naesal Empire. They're using it to destroy the IceWings."
== Chapter Six ==
"How do we stop them?" Iceclaw said.
"I dunno, you go admit it yourself I guess," Grarrus yawned.
"No, wait until they're fighting and then you stop 'em," Tizzysdia cheered. "Go team! I heard that the IceWings are going to war in a couple days a few days ago, so it should be tomorrow!"
"Good." Iceclaw lead them back to their camp.
Good job, said the voice dreamvisiting Iceclaw. Atta boy.
"Oh, it's you again," said Iceclaw. "Are you my mother? Are you Talonsplitter?"
Before the voice could say anything, another voice came in. Nice job guessing! it said.
"Who are you?"
Name's Brumal!
"I think that's my father. He was killed too."
I'm Talonsplitter, said the first voice. Did you know we were watching you the second you were born?
"No."
Oh. Well we overheard your plan. Good luck.
== Chapter Seven ==
The group was awoken by IceWing troops patrolling to the Night Kingdom. They then went and attacked.
"Now's your chance, Iceclaw," said Gamamora. "Go! Go! Go! I need to find something, you guys fight!"
Iceclaw decided to run into the Night Palace, when he saw the royal family.
"Stop!" said a guard. "IceWing!"
"I'm both an IceWing and a NightWing," said Iceclaw.
"AAH!" the guard screamed. "The last IceWing and NightWing hybrid was killed years ago! Is that you? How are you still alive?"
"I lived, sucker," said Iceclaw. "I won't kill you. I'm asking for the war to end."
"Bring the queen!" when the guard shouted, the queen entered.
Iceclaw shivered in fear. "The queen..."
"I'm Queen Battlescar," the NightWing said. She had jet black scales and silvery wings with white stars and underbelly. As her name says, she had a scar on her face that she most likely got from battle. "What brings you here? I overheard all, no need to give me context."
"I want to end the war."
"How so?"
"Unite peace between the two. IceWings are attacking."
"I know. I sent the troops."
Iceclaw was silent, he ran away from Battlescar on to the battlefield. The NightWing general and IceWing general were fighting. He clashed in the middle of the fight and separated the two. "Stop!" he shouted. "Can't you guys be at peace?"
The two generals ignored him. The NightWing pushed him aside and fought the IceWing. The IceWing was then eventually slain, blood pouring everywhere. The NightWing then took the IceWing's heart and held it up in the air for all to see.
"Retreat!" called an IceWing soldier.
Iceclaw had to do it. "Stop!" he shouted. "Armies, listen to me!"
Surprisingly the armies did. "What do you need, brat?" said an IceWing.
"Do you guys remember that there was an IceWing and NightWing hybrid egg that was thrown into the Kingdom of Sand that was supposed to die? Well guess what? That's me." He looked around before continuing, seeing shock from most dragons. "I survived the whole time alone! But I met my best friend, SandWing Gamamora, on the way, who helped me to this point! I ask you all to stop; you guys matter and you guys are no different. Stop this madness; many innocent are dying!"
It was silent for a few moments. A NightWing then spoke to break it. "Hybrid's right. I vote no war. We're all the same. We're just killing innocents on our path to glory. End this!" The two sides then cheered.
No more war... Iceclaw thought. Apholo, TIzzysdia, and Grarrus then jumped out and hugged him. "Where's Gamamora?" he asked. Tizzysdia pointed to a sandy cliff near the edge of the Kingdom of Sand, where Gamamora was holding the Eye of Onyx. She wasn't dead. She was alive, staring at the two armies while everyone is in shock.
== Chapter Eight ==
"The Eye of Onyx has chosen me," said Gamamora. "I heard tales long ago of a SandWing princess being alone. I thought it was a fairy tale. But it's me, whaddya know. I hereby announce I am returning to the SandWing royal family, as while you guys were engaging in fights I spoke with my mother, Queen Plateau, and I am the heiress apparent to the Kingdom of Sand now!"
The two armies cheered at Gamamora's short speech. "Wow!" "The Princess!"
Gamamora hopped down. "You can call me Gamamora still," she said to Iceclaw. "No need to bow."
"I still can't believe after all this time, you were a princess," Iceclaw said in surprise as he saw Gamamora put the Eye of Onyx over her neck, wearing it as a necklace.
"I'm going to return home. You can go with the NightWings or IceWings, or come with me. I spoke to my mother about it. She said she would love to have you as an advisor to the royal family." Gamamora smiled.
"I would like to be more than an advisor," said Iceclaw. "May I be your husband and future King of the SandWings?"
"Lovely! Of course!" Gamamora hugged Iceclaw as everyone cheered. "I will tell my mother about! I can see it! Oh the joy on her face!
Gamamora took Iceclaw and the three other IceWings to the Sand Palace, where Queen Plateau, instead of the new advisor, was also meeting the future King of the SandWings and her newly found daughter's fiancé. Apholo, Grarrus, and Tizzysdia eventually returned home but kept in contact with the two.
The two were wed a few months later and had many children. The eldest was Princess Cienyrrae, who became the heiress apparent when Queen Plateau died and Gamamora rose to become Queen of the SandWings. The two had many, many children.
All names of children were recorded on the Sacred Royal Children scroll (see section of the same name). The two were believed to have around 30 children, which was true. And Gamamora went through the birth of every single one of them and survived.
Many, many years later, when most of their children were in adulthood and there were some who were still left to be born and those who would be born in the future, King Iceclaw was stabbed by a spear in battle by enemy forces and passed away in Queen Gamamora's arms. He is honored as a legend and the first hybrid king of different tribes of the SandWings, and the father of many great SandWings. When Gamamora died, Cienyrrae became queen and rose to the top of the SandWings and was a great ruler, just like her parents.
Fin.
