Fanfic: Black & White

Hi, quick note, this is a wip (work in progress), so I'll be adding onto this page as I go. Feel free to add any questions or constructive criticism in the comments, thanks! 
==Prologue==
She couldn't believe herself. Did she really do all those things? She couldn't have, right? She couldn't have abandoned her kingdom while she was on a mission, or fallen in love with a nightwing, of all dragons, or lied to the queen's face and pretended that she totally didn't do any of that, and that she was doing this other really important thing that nobody bothered to do. Right? Wrong.
Although she tried to ignore her thoughts about all this nonsense, she couldn't help but remember her remorse for leaving Quicksilver, the love of her life. The one thing that she really, really, shouldn't have done was fall in love. Why did he have to be a nightwing? She wished that he'd been born a member of her tribe, so she could have been in love with him without feeling the hate and scrutiny of others. Although, now that she thought of it, if Quicksilver had been born an icewing he probably wouldn't be very happy either, and she wouldn't want that.
That night, she dreamt of leaving everything behind and running away with Quicksilver, where she could live life without a care and not have to live such a boring, frigid, existence.
Many mornings later, Flurry couldn't believe her eyes. She was in shock at the scene that lay before her, "No. No no no..." she whispered to herself. This could not happen. Especially now. She paced around her room as she glared worriedly at her newly laid black and white eggs. She hid them under her bed and headed out for the day, all the while her brow creased in fury.
Of all the mistakes she had ever made, this might have been the worst...
==Chapter 1==
She scraped her claws against the inside of her egg, trying to break free. She could here a little voice that kept her going, scratching the egg, over and over again. The voice became louder and more frantic. With more force this time, she was able to puncture the shell of her egg. Freezing water gushed in, almost drowning her, when an instinct brought her up to the surface. She crawled out of her egg, letting the shell float away from her. Hanging onto a small fragment of ice, she searched for the voice. This time, she could hear more voices. But these voices were not the one she was looking for. While she searched frantically, she heard the other voices scream and shout; 
"It wasn't me! I wouldn't do that, and you know it!" 
Then the other voice yelled, "Well who else would it be? It was you! No one else could've done it! I'm done with you Flurry. I wouldn't be here without orders and you know it. Did you really think I snuck out here to meet you?"
"Orders? W-what do you mean, orders?!" 
Although at the time she didn't know what these words meant, it felt as though they were filled with pain and rage. There was one final shriek before everything went quiet, and she was able to concentrate and try to reach the voice she had heard before. Then suddenly, she heard a muffled cry, and felt as though the voice was fading in and out of consciousness. 
Without a second thought, she dove into the freezing water.
==Chapter 2==
Everything was telling her to get out of the water. She couldn't breath. She was going to drown. But she couldn't drown, not while the voice was at stake. She kept on swimming, occasionally lifting her head out of the water to take a breath. She was getting closer now, she could feel it. And then she could see it. 
A fractured egg was floating slowly towards the ocean floor, and it looked like there was something in it, thrashing around. It was the voice. The voice was a dragon. But the dragon was drowning. She swam towards the egg and the dragon inside, grabbing them both with her talons. She hurtled herself towards the surface, where she deposited the egg onto a large chunk of ice, and a few moments later, herself.
Bathed in moonlight, the baby dragon crawled out of her egg. The two dragonets stared at each other, not knowing what to do. She decided to lie down next to the little dragon and gazed up at the three moons, all half-full, which were high up in the sky, hoping the other dragonet would follow suit. 
Unbeknownst to each other, that night both dragons associated one little thing with the other. She looked up at the moons, and back to the baby dragon she would come to know as her sister. Half-Moon. She felt as if that suited the baby dragon, who was currently bathed in the light of the three half-moons.
While she gazed up at the moons, her sister admired the twinkling stars that covered the night sky, and glanced back to her sister's wings, which were also covered in stars. Starshade.
Half-Moon curled up under Starshade's wings, and together they gazed up at the night sky until they both drifted to sleep.
==Chapter 3==
Starshade slowly opened her eyes to find Half-Moon curled up beside her, still asleep. She stretched her legs and glanced up at the sky, which was no longer full of stars, instead dotted with clouds, and was an orange-pink color. The ice chunk that they had been sleeping on had shrunken quite dramatically, only giving Starshade a few steps in any direction until she would fall off into the ocean. 
Speaking of which, were they still in the ocean? Starshade assumed so, but wasn't quite sure. She could still see the coastline, but it was far away and it was hard to see what exactly was on the coastline. Snow or grass, or something else? 
Forgetting about the coastline, Starshade looked down at her stomach, which was now rumbling fiercely. She was hungry, but she didn't have any source of food. Glancing hungrily at the coastline, she shook her head. I can't get to the coastline. I can't swim, nor do I know how to catch prey. So instead of looking at the coastline, she looked at the water. This isn't helping either! she thought. 
Then, a lean shape whisked past her in the water, making her jump. She studied the water for a few moments more, There it is again! several more shapes darted past her, but this time she was laser focused. She held her talons above the water, and as a few more shapes swam past her, she plunged her talons into the sea and fished out several squirming fish.
While she examined the fish stuck to her claws, Starshade heard a yawn. Half-Moon had woken up, and was admiring the skies when she noticed Starshade looking at her. Half-Moon glanced down at Starshade's talons and her eyes widened. She realised that she was also quite hungry, and that the fish on Starshade's talons looked quite appetising. Starshade then deposited the fish into two sections, and gulped down her half. Half-Moon then did the same.
How the sisters actually came to this mutual understanding of how they were going to eat the fish was not known, however Starshade didn't care, and decided to spend the rest of the day stretching out her limbs, and seeing what she could do with them.
==Chapter 4==
Finch hated her new job. She was planning on becoming a SkyWing guard so she could order others around and fight in heroic battles. Not this. Couldn't someone else patrol the outskirts? It was terribly boring to watch the coast and the forest around her day and night. Sigh. She knew it would be a while before she was even considered for the job of being Queen Ruby's personal guard. She would just have to climb her way up the rankings for that. For now, she could just power through being bored. Very, very, bored.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed something floating around in the ocean, near the coast. She squinted her eyes, but couldn't tell what it was. 
"What even is that? Is it like a small weird whale or something? No, wait... it's black and white, mostly white... uh. Are those dragonets?! I have to tell Queen Ruby about this!"
And without another word, Finch flapped her wings and took off towards the palace.
Meanwhile, Starshade and Half-Moon were munching on a few small fish, when Half-Moon noticed a weird, orange shape on the coast.
Hey Starshade, there's a weird orange thing on the coast! Do you think it's another dragon? It'd be really cool to meet one! Half-Moon thought excitedly.
I don't know, replied Starshade, It might be a weird animal. I guess it could be a dragon though.
==Chapter 5==
While the twins slowly floated over, closer and closer to the coast, Finch was on her way toward Queen Ruby's Castle.
"This had to happen on my first day, didn't it? Ughhh..." Finch groaned.
She flew quickly down towards the palace, nearly flying into another SkyWing, "Hey, watch where you're going!" the SkyWing yelled. Finch ignored them and kept on flying. She dove down, right past the arena, landing her right into the entrance to Queen Ruby's Castle. She paced awkwardly for a moment, not being sure if Queen Ruby would appreciate her abandoning her post just because she thought she saw some weird dragons floating around in the ocean. Sigh. Finch, you traveled all the way here to tell her about this, there's no backing out now. She took a deep breath and headed into the castle.
Meanwhile, Starshade was pacing uncontrollably on the ice that was supporting her and Half-Moon, which was shrinking rapidly. She couldn't even walk in any direction without falling into the ocean, and she was already squished against her sister, Half-Moon, who also looked rather worried. Starshade really didn't know what to do. None of them could swim, and the one time she did swim, she was full of adrenalin, and she still almost drowned. 
They couldn't fly, they couldn't swim, and they couldn't even walk anywhere. How were they going to get out of this mess?
Finch walked inside the palace and walked to the throne room entrance."I have an urgent message for Queen Ruby," said Finch to the guard. He nodded and opened the door. She walked inside.
"what is it," said Queen Ruby.
Okay. It's now or never.
"I found some little dragonets near the coast. And they're in danger,"said Finch. The queen sat up, worried.
"Well, go get them and bring them here".
