Twins

This story was written by Lady Mipha.
== Prologue ==
Starwings draped one wing across Frigid's back, like the starry expanse of the sky wanted to pick him up and hug him. They stood on a rock together, watching over both the rainforest where the NightWings now lived and the Ice Kingdom, both tiny from the distance. The peak of the mountain was so high and almost always hidden by the cloud cover, and SkyWings never usually came near a mountain this high and barren. Only an IceWing or a NightWing could figure out ways to survive here.
"Get off me," Frigid grunted gruffly.
Starwings withdrew her now-cold wing. "NightWings do this all the time," she answered. "See if I care about your stupid weird training and military traditions. I'm even letting you name our dragonet if it's more IceWing than NightWing. Although, judging by the size of that egg, we're going to have twins."
"Not another set of twins," Frigid grumbled. "My family has enough sets of twins as it is."
"Well, in the volcano, it was considered lucky for a family to be blessed with one dragonet, and TWO was like a blessing," Starwings retorted.
"You're not in the volcano anymore," Frigid groaned.
"Well, we're still rehabilitating," Starwings answered. "It's hard to adjust to new ways of life, and it's definitely hard for health changes to happen in, like, twenty-three days. Or so. At least the new generation is going to be healthier than NightWings born in the volcano."
Starwings looked back fondly at the speckled egg in their warm cave home, when it jiggled and a cracking sound made its way into the cold, dry air.
"It's hatching!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, great. More hybrid dragons in the world," Frigid mumbled under his breath. "I thought we had enough already."
"Don't you IceWings even care about family obligations?" Starwings exclaimed. "Or are IceWings raised to care about safety first, military second, and family third?"
"Well, at least the decent ones are," Frigid retorted. "And that's from a decent species."
"Stop that, the dragonet's coming!" Starwings announced.
Crack, crack. Two loud cracks sounded before a black dragonet made its way into the world.
"What, no IceWing-like creature?" Frigid grumbled, before a bright, icy blue head popped up.
"A male NightWing and a female IceWing," Starwings announced. "The NightWing is... Nightice. We can call him Night for short."
"At least the female gets a decent name," Frigid muttered, before announcing, "Since I am the highest-ranked IceWing currently knowing that this female IceWing-ish dragonet exists, I shall name her Ice. There are no objections because I am the highest-ranked IceWing currently knowing that this female IceWing-ish dragon exists."
"Next time we have an egg together, just skip the silly IceWing ranking stuff mumbo-jumbo," Starwings announced.
"I'm just following IceWing tradition, making sure at least one of these dragonets has a proper upbringing," Frigid protested.
"Honestly, are all IceWings this grumpy?" Starwings asked, exasperated.
