Moon Over the Castle

The story begins two-thousand years ago in the Ice Kingdom…
Foeslayer had just kidnaped Prince Artic, and the kingdom was in uproar. Queen Diamond had just declared war on the NightWing and tensions were high. When it had become know that Arctic was gone Diamond was furious. She was mad alright, but she was also worried. She was worried about her daughter. Bitterwind was not your average IceWing princess. Like her mother before her and Arctic, her twin brother she was an animus. "Bitterwind, I'm worried about you. The NightWings already stole your brother, I'm worried that they'll try to capture you next." Diamond said shaking her head and frowning. 
"Oh, but mother, I have all these guards to protect me! As well as you!" Diamond shook her head again. 
"As ever your sarcasm amazes me. It also amazes me that it hasn't occurred to you that you aren’t invincible. That you could be captured too." 
"Mother. Why would the NightWings want me. You've said it yourself. I'm unsuitable as a princess." Diamond frowned again and was about to say something, but Bitterwind hurried on. "You're afraid of what I might do if I was captured by the NightWings. My soul is pure, unlike yours or Arctic's. I could do terrible things." Diamond paused yet again. As per usual any conversation with Bitterwind ended in Diamond being frustrated and her daughter smugly doing just as she pleased. That’s what bothered Diamond so much about Bitterwind, ever since she hatched Diamond knew that Bitterwind was going to kill her and be queen instead. But Bitterwind never had. Instead, she got older and stronger. Bitterwind wasn't as easy to bully as Arctic was. All Diamond had to do was tell Arctic what to do and he would do it, but Bitterwind never listened to Diamond. She always had her own plans. Like five years ago when it was Bitterwind's gifting ceremony. She didn't do anything! She didn't use her magic. She just refused. It was Bitterwind's unending ability to get her way about things that had made finding her a husband was such a chore. Even with five years since her supposed gifting ceremony she still refused to take a husband. It was bothering Diamond a lot actually. At least Arctic had found some dragon that he liked. Even if it was a terrible choice that would end up hurting him some day. "So mother, thought of anything yet? Any way to make sure that I don't do anything bad?" Diamond growled, actually she had, but Bitterwind was going to hate it more than anything. 
"Yes, Bitterwind I have." Diamond said touching her daughter's shoulder. Bitterwind didn't recoil. She never did, that made this next part mush easier. "I enchant Bitterwind the IceWing's scales to transport her into the future, transforming her into a five-year-old dragonet. And to make all but me forget about her existence forever. 
"Mother! No!" Bitterwind screamed but it was too late. Her scales exploded into a million tiny blue-white shards. 
"I'm sorry Bitterwind, but I had to do it, for your own safety..."
