The Dragonet Who Lost His Destiny

The largest egg in mountain high will give to you the wings of sky...
Sconce is an orphan with a deadly secret. He knows what happened on the brightest night in Queen Scarlet's palace. And he's not afraid to reclaim his destiny.
This story is my interpretation of what happened to the missing SkyWing egg. See: Escaping Peril prologue for context. If I get anything wrong about canon characters/events, please correct me!

Cordillera's Escape
The cloudless, moonlit night sky was calm in contrast to Cordillera's plight. She clutched the large, maroon egg to her chest as she hastily soared through the cool air. The only thing on her mind was that she had to escape Queen Scarlet. She couldn't let her egg get killed.
Carefully navigating her way south, Cordillera headed towards Possibility. She was fully aware that she would be killed herself for what she was doing, which was actually a part of her plan. There has to be an orphanage in Possibility, she thought. My baby can grow up there without me so they won't be dragged down with me in Scarlet's schemes. The more she reassured herself, the more confident she felt. But anxiety welled in the pit of her stomach, too, because she knew she couldn't live if the egg survived.
At last, Cordillera had made it to Possibility. Her muscles ached from flying, but her journey was not yet over. She had to find the orphanage. Trying not to look suspicious, she navigated the dark streets. Eventually, she found the orphanage on the edge of town. She pounded the door frantically with her fist.
A dusty brown SandWing who looked tired and somewhat-aggravated opened the door. "Hello?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't take care of my egg." Cordillera breathed out, trying to control her anxiety. "It's supposed to hatch tonight, and Queen Scarlet wants it dead. Please, keep them safe." She held out the egg for the SandWing. "Please."
The SandWing's facial expression quickly turned to panic. "Oh, yes dear. Are you sure you're safe?"
"I know I'm not, which is exactly why I have to go." She left the egg on the doorstep and quickly flew away without saying another word. The SandWing was left alone with the egg, and as worried as she was, she barricaded the door with an old wardrobe that probably weighed about a ton. Thereafter, she took the egg to the nursery where it hatched soon later. That's when it clicked: Brightest night... large SkyWing egg... this is a dragonet of destiny!

The Discovery
"I betcha I'll beat you to that oak tree!" Fennec raced past Sconce before he could even move a claw. "I beat you!" he teased, sticking out his tongue.
"I get it, I get it, you're the fastest dragon in all of Pyrrhia." Sconce rolled his eyes and slunk over to Fennec, his best friend at the orphanage. They weren't lonely, per se, but they were the only dragonets their age except for... oh no.
"Hi! What are you doing?" Bayou.
"Go away, Bayou!" Fennec hollered. He hated Bayou more than anyone else. Sconce didn't hate her, but he had to admit she was annoying.
"No, I wanna play with you," Bayou said. "And I'm gonna be the Queen of Pyrrhia." She climbed onto a tall rock. "Bow to me, every tribe is under my rule because I'm the queen! I'm the boss of everybody!"
"I think she'd be a dictator," Fennec muttered. Sconce snorted.
