Twins of Ice

== Intro ==
Terminus, Icebound, Cryo, and Storm are my characters. This is my story. Do not steal or plagiarize.
== Prologue ==
Three moons shone above the Ice Kingdom. Two were full and one was a cresent, and they shone down on the thick layers of snow and ice, reflecting brightly. In the heart of the palace of Queen Glacier, a few dragons awaited the arrival of two dragonets.
One had her neck bent down, inspecting the largest, most translucent eggs. They were a pale sky blue, the way IceWing eggs were, although sometimes white. The large sky blue female prodded one of them with a serrated talon.
"Are you sure they're going to hatch tonight?" She asked, impatience and doubt edging her tone, though her face remained unreadable.
"Y-Yes, Cryo," said a nervous-looking IceWing who was pale purple with light indigo underscales. Just then, one of the eggs wriggled, and a huge crack appeared along the side of it. The dragons in the room tensed up, and soon enough silver claws poked through the shell, and a female dragonet hauled herself out of the shell. She landed on the ice and slid a bit. Cryo, the dragonet's mother, grabbed the dragonet with two talons and inspected her.
"Hm," she said, putting the dragonet down and wiping her talons on the ice. "Storm, go wash this one off and drop her off at the Wingery."
"But-" He protested. Cryo shot him a glare, and Storm scurried off with their dragonet.
Cryo poked the other egg a few more times, and finally it started to crack. The cracks slowly made their way around the egg, and finally Cryo hissed impatiently. She took the egg in her talons and slightly applied pressure. The pieces of the shell scattered, and a plump dragonet slipped out of her talons, letting out a small cry.
"Finally," she scoffed. She swiftly inspected the dragonet disapprovingly. As everyone started to disperse, she took the pale blue dragonet to the Wingery and headed to her chambers.
== Chapter One ==
A young, pale, silvery-blue IceWing dragonet bowed before Queen Glacier, beside her brother, and their parents Storm and Cryo on either side of them. They straightened up to face her. Except for her brother, who, as usual, missed the cue and clumsily stood up as well. She rolled her eyes. Luckily I'm in line for the throne and you're not. She thought. It had been her parents' plan since before she was born for her to inherit Glacier's throne. A plan that would not fail. Could not fail.
"Your Majesty," Cryo, her mother, said, bowing once more. "We present to you our dragonets' names," she motioned a wing to the two dragonets. They immediately straightened into their formal stances. The female carefully folded her wings, so they were upright and held up tightly, but not above her spines. She straightened out her tail and tensely curled the end slightly, and tipped her snout so that she wasn't looking up her snout at the Queen, but her talons weren't in her view either. She flicked out her tail as she saw her brother's rather dark blue wings drooping slightly, and stabbed her slightly. Her trick worked and he pulled them up. All in a matter of seconds.
"Yes?" Queen Glacier said.
Cryo slightly tented a wing over the silver-blue dragonet for a moment. "Terminus," she said, pausing. "And Icebound."
Queen Glacier's dark blue eyes narrowed and her spiked tail flicked as her daughter-in-law said Terminus' name, but gave a nod of approval. "Very well. I will add them to the the Circles."
== Chapter Two ==
Icebound had only been four months old when she discovered his biggest secret. Something that would surely disappoint her parents even more. At least, when he found out she thought that. But if he told them now, she would be in much more trouble. He'd probably get ranked down all the way to the Fourth Circle. She had been fishing. Well, supposed to be fishing. He was actually just gazing at the ocean, the horizon glimmering beyond Pyhrria's snout.
"I wondered what's out there..." She murmured to herself.
"The Lost Continent is supposed to be out there somewhere," a voice behind him replied. She jumped up, startled, and faced them. It was Lynx, the daughter of a Fifth Circle noble who ran one of the IceWing towns. She had climbed the ranks quickly, studying and working hard, earning a place in the palace. Icebound turned to her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked. "Are you spying?"
"No, no, of course not!" Lynx said, backing away.
"Oh. Well, do you wanna sit with me?" Lynx nodded and sat herself next to Icebound.
They watched the sky together for a few moments. It had started to snow, and was now turning into a blizzard. Lynx slightly tented a wing over Icebound, although it didn't help much. The wind was starting to push them.
"ARRGGHH! Just- stop snowing already!" Icebound yellled, annoyed. To the two dragonets' utter shock, the snow abruptly stopped falling.
After a few moments of silence, Lynx whispered, "D-did you do that..?"
Icebound had no reply. Then, she picked up a talonful of snow. "...I enchant the snow in my talon to become... a small silver ring.."
Lynx widened her eyes. There was no longer snow in Icebound's talons, instead a silver ring, just like the dragonet had said. Icebound shyly offered it to her. "Please don't tell anyone," he begged as Lynx put it on.
She gave her a grin. "Tell anyone what?"
== Chapter Three ==
Terminus, as usual, was training in the Wingery. Other tribes may call it a 'training area', but of course it wasn't. IceWing dragonets basically grew up here, practicing hunting and fighting to be the best IceWing warrior of their generation. She shot a blast of frostbreath at the dummy, then sprinted up, tackling it and digging in her serrated, wickedly sharp silver claws. She watched in satisfaction as it shattered into shards of ice.
"Most impressive, ma'am," said a voice.
"Thanks." She scoffed with a roll of her eyes. Tundra was such a suck-up.
"Much better than your sibling, Icebound, if I must say."
You don't. "I know." She said aloud.
"You've always been the better sibling, you know-"
"Can you excuse yourself? I'm trying to focus." Terminus hissed.
Tundra paused for a moment, narrowing her eyes and exhaling a white cloud. "Of course." She said, whipping around.
Terminus smirked after her. She knew her aunt couldn't do anything, being generally ranked lower than her.
