How to Run From a Mess You Made

(sequel to The Buried Prophecy. Read that first to understand this also, most of what you read is just my imagination so don’t come at me. Also: they all now 6 years old)
Prologue (This is Sunfish’s pov btw lol)
The funeral was simple. I am so sad that I ever made Luminescence feel unwanted. Instead of betraying her and hanging with her friends, I should have hung out with Lui. She was dealing with so much and I just made her feel worse. I will carry this guilt forever…
Chapter 1 (This is North Star’s pov btw lol)
I sat sadly in front of my mirror. It was all my fault...if I haden’t pressured Lui to make that dumb pie, she would be alive today.  Mother comforts me and tries to tell me that Luminescence was gonna die anyways from the prophecy, but that doesn't make it any better. I faintly remember her black scales, glowing bits on her scales, and her fade and wings of stars. I vividly remember her laugh and how she nicknamed us little bugs and little royals. She was there at my hatching too, her eyes bright and loving. More of a mother to be during that short week than mine, more of a sister to me then Spotlight. I’m not sure if Silvermind and Glittersky carry the same guilt I do, if they do, they certainly don’t let it on.
Glittersky is the strongest among us. Middle dragonet. Purple-black scales with stars covering her body. The most NightWing out of our trio. She got the mind-reading and never stays out of our head. I do like it when she truly knows how sad I am. Not exactly the brightest though. A wander but we love her.
Silvermind is the weakest among us. Youngest dragonet. The smallest but most caring of our trio. Silver scales covering his body. He has small white stars twinkling in his wings.  He didn’t get the silver egg but got the silver body. He’s sweet and never leaves us alone. I do like it when I’m sad though. The brightest out of all of us. We all love him.
I am the strongest power-wise among us. Not as tough as Glitter but stronger than Silver. Oldest dragonet. White body with a fade of purple wings and stars twinkling in my wings. The most icey out of our trio. I got the futuring-seeing and prophetic abilities. I respect my siblings' privacy but bother them time-to-time. I am almost the brightest of all of us.
We are all alike in a few ways though. We love our family, friends, our tribe, and each other so much. We each have electric blue eyes and all experienced the trauma of losing our first best friend. 
“Starrrr stop being sad and come outside, it snowed for like the first time in like forever!” Glittersky persists. 
“Maybe…” I reply, pretending to adjust the amethyst necklace around my neck in front of the mirror.
“Stop being sad about Lui. We were less than a week old, we’re all sad it happened but we need to move on.” Sky says firmly, reading my mind.
“Fine.” I crack a smile and walk towards the door with my wings snapped in elegant arches.
“Besides, you're totally like an IceWing. You're a bit frosty like one and the cold doesn't bother you!” Glitter giggles.
“I’m coming.” I roll my eyes and walk down the hall.
While I actually like to look presentable, my siblings prefer to look like they just came from the Scorpion Den! I like to wear jewelry, just not pounds of it like Mother does.
As soon as we step outside into the cold, a vision approaches. I’m used to these by now. I’m in the IceWing kingdom, outside in the snow crying. Soft and  delicate flakes of snow float around. It’s like I’m wearing glasses, my vision is all foggy. Suddenly it’s gone and I’m back with my laughing siblings and cousin and other dragonets. (Mother started to allow us to hang out with dragonets who aren’t royal, seeing as this is our last year being one but little does she know that I’ve been with non-royal dragonets since I was 3!)
“AHHH! North, tell Starborn she can’t throw ice at me!” Silvermind shrieks. This was one of the days that his anxiety went down and he acts normal.
I just giggled. Starborn was TOTALLY in love with Silver but he was too blind to see it. She was obviously a non-royal. “Tell your girlfriend yourself!” I tease.
“Not my girlfriend.” He groans. “Go hang out with your boyfriend, Astrid Sight.”
“You talk about that as if it’s a bad thing.” Astrid Sight says, suddenly appearing into view.
“Hello, Life.” I giggle like a chipmunk again. Life is my nickname for him. When he was very little, he thought he was the creator of life. Astrid was my best friend. The one who I had been hanging out with since I was 3. 
“Hello, Starryeyes.” Sight says to me, his eyes sparkling as if he was about to laugh. Starryeyes is his nickname for me. “Now, how’s castle life?”
“Dreadfully boring.” I sigh and talon my necklace.
“Well this isn’t!” Before I could process what he was doing, the scoundrel shot me square in the chest with a snowball!
“Oh, you comet!” I shriek with delight and blast him with a snowball.
We run around and throw snow at each other until we collapse on the ground. Lifecreator has a light blue body, dark blue legs with the dark blue edging the top of his wings. Stars appear in those spots.
Everybody around us had gone silent too. It was almost sunrise. Our parents have been letting us stay out earlier and earlier. 
“What’s gonna happen to us when we’re 7?” I ask.
“Well, we’ll have our party.” He laughs.
“No, duh.” I roll my eyes. “I’m talking about being adults. Will I challenge my mother? I’ve always wanted to be queen. I wonder if Spotlight is planning too.” I talk and talk.
“What’s gonna happen when I’m king!” Astrid Sight exclaims.
“Oh, no! Not another Darkstalker!” I fake my horror.
“No, you dingbat. I mean when I’m ruling with you.” He snorts.
Silence. “Well I better leave. I wanna visit the um Hatchery.” I say awkwardly as I climb up from the grass.
“But there aren't any eggs in the Royal Hatchery.” Life says, confused. I could see that he was embarrassed.
“I mean just the Hatchery. Not fancy titles.” I grin.
“Why don’t I accompany you milady.” Sight says and does a ridiculous bow.
“Well, okay then SIR!” I laugh.
Just like that...everything was back to normal.
Chapter 2
We walk into the large, quiet hatchery. It was filled with moonlight. Not as fancy as the royal one of course, but equally pretty. Tons of eggs are almost squeezed together. Since the tribe stopped living on the volcano, there are much more eggs. When mother has her, what I call it ‘gloom days’, she often talks about how awful the volcano was. Mother was small when she lived there, 2-3, I think but she remembers it vividly. 
Eggs are marked with each of the parents' names. Each egg gets a tiny little nest with it. Clutches receive a nest that all of the eggs fit in. Some eggs even have premature names labeled on.
Astrid and I sometimes like to name the eggs and make up stories for them. I notice one named, Sunfinder. “Oo! This is the Sand/NightWing hybrid egg! HER name is Sunfinder. She looks a lot like Spotlight and will fall madly and passionately in love with a dragon named Greatmind!” I giggle and wave Astrid Sight over to the egg.
“She will have a life full of adventure but will never get married. Never have eggs. She’ll travel and search for distant continents!’’ Sight adds.
We go on and on like this. This is our favorite place to visit. Once we even saw a hatching! Our second favorite place to visit is the Allknowing. Last AND least favorite place to visit is the Guest Room Corridor. We have 2 guest rooms for each biome! We love to greet visitors. 
A few hours later I'm in the dining room with everybody. 
“How was everybody’s day?” Mother asks politely. These days, meals get quieter and quieter. 
“It was okay.” I mumble.
“It snowed today and we all had a snowfight!” Glittersky smiles broadly.
“It was so much fun!” My cousin, Lostvoice pipes up.
“I noticed. So anybody up for peach-blueberry pie!” Mother exclaims and waves the chef over.
The chef puts down the 2 pre-cut peach-blueberry pies. My stomach goes queasy and into a knot. That’s the pie that killed Lui. Mother KNOWS that, argh. She thinks if I get over my fear of pie or whatever by eating it, I’ll be cool. Silvermind, Glittersky, and Lostvoice feel the same way.
“I excuse myself.” I say and quickly get up. 
I can feel my face going pale. I race down the hall and into the snow. The same vision I felt before, blasts me again. Crying. Petrified. Alone. Snow. This time it slams into me and I fall against a tall maze-like bush. I curl up behind it and squeeze my eyes shut. 
I’m not sure how long I’m curled up like that but eventually I fall asleep. It's dark by the time I rise. I stumble up groggily and trudge through the snow and inside again. I find myself in my room in front of my vanity. I brush off the dirt and snow from my amethyst necklace and stare in the mirror. I see a tired looking dragon looking back at me. I rub my eyes. Whenever I get ready, my fears and gloom melt away. A bright smile appears. I pop on a gold ring, necklace, and a pair of earrings. They are all the same glittery shade of gold. Pretty. I make a few adjustments and splash some water on my scales. They gleam. Just as I’m finishing up, Glitter runs into the room with a terrified Silver behind her.
“North! You won’t believe it.” She gasps.
I glance at our brother and he just gives me a sad look in his blue eyes. “What happened, Sky?”
“Mother, she thought something cruel. After you excused yourself and ran out, mother thought: That is the IceWing in her. Should have never had a dragonet with an IceWing! I should send her off there with Hypothermia.” Sky says in a rush. “I did my best not to show I heard a thing.” She adds on.
“I’m part, IceWing? Mother’s gonna send me off! That is horrid!” I shriek.
“It makes sense. I don’t think I’m any IceWing. I mean I know tons and tons of NightWings who are Silver and aren’t related to an IceWing in any way.” Mind thinks.
“Maybe. How have you never heard that before?” I ask Glitersky.
“Well mother tends to build a wall around her thoughts. She accidentally made a crack in that wall without knowing and let that slip.” Glitter replies. 
“Oh.” I answer, feeling dumb.
“So any new visions?” Silver asks.
“There is one...I got it earlier today when we were outside and one a little while ago. Also in the snow. It's me, in the IceWing kingdom crying uncontrollably and I’m so scared and alone. Delicate snow is falling around me and it’s as if I’m wearing glasses and taking a sip of a hot drink. My vision is foggy.” I tell them.
“It’s official. You're doomed to the frostiness of ice.” Glittersky says softly.
“Yeah.” Silvermind agrees.
“Yep.” I add.
Mother then comes into the room. “Darling! I have the most wonderous surprise for you.” She grins.
“Save it.” I hiss. “I know that I’m part IceWing and you're shipping me off there!” 
She blinks in shock. “Well y-yes. Pack your things.” Mother stutters.
“I am NOT going!” I growl.
“I know that you're afraid of North Star. You know she is getting ambitious and you're petrified your throne will be taken.” Glittersky defends.
“Your sister is going and that is final!” Mother hisses. 
Before I can get a word in, two of mother’s thugs pick me up and carry me out. I notice we are going down to the dungeon. “No,noo, nooooo!” I shriek and start crying. Tears sting my eyes,
“Not that dungeon!” I shriek again. 
Let’s just say I have a bad experience in dungeons. Especially this one. Once when I was little, my siblings and I were playing hide and seek down there. I accidentally locked myself in. I was in there for a day and night before father came and got me.
The thugs shut me in the dungeon. There is an insane dragon who screams all day and night here. I curl up in the corner and wait. Mother isn’t very fond of dungeons so there aren’t that many dragons down here. I notice that the guards don’t leave, instead they stay posted at the entrance. “Why am I here?” I ask them in a hoarse voice.
“You won’t be down here for long. Just until your mother packs all of your things.” One of them answers. 
“Let me out, please!” I beg.
“I’m sorry, little royal.” The other one replies, sadly.
“Thanks for your help! Now while you too stand there like a couple of fruit bats, I will find a way out.” I snark.
I slink around the cell, more like CAGE! In search of a foul bar. I yank hard on all of them, they are allllll real. Of course they are. Maybe I can dig? No, the ground is cement. I throw myself against the bars, but crumble down in agony. 
“The queen will be done soon.” One of the guards says, in response to my pathetic performance.
I sulk up to the bars. “Can we at least have a conversation?” I groan.
“Ok.” One agrees and glances at the other.
“I suppose it will pass the time.” The other admits.
“Alright, do you know who I am?” I say in the most innocent voice possible.
“Well, yeah. Your Princess North Star. Part IceWing. I used to guard your egg, you know. I was even there when you hatched.” The friendlier one says.
“Really?” I can’t help but say it in an excited little dragonet voice. “Did you know Luminescence?” 
“Duh. She was famous among us. Shame to see her gone, so young too.” The guard says solemnly.
“Can you tell me about her?” I beg.
“Sure!” He smiles. “Once when the little hybrid was about 1, she was visiting. Running about the corridors as usual, longing for a playmate. She knocked over the MOST priceless heirloom and then blamed it on the RainWings and sloths! Claimed that they were sneaky little creatures and wanted to get her in trouble. I will never forget that day.”
I dissolve in giggles. “I can’t believe she did that!” 
“Another time, she brought a highly venomous snake into the castle. Sent the queen shrieking like a baboon! Little Lui was so certain that it was her friend.” He chuckled.
“Tell me another!” I beg.
“Well, this one isn’t exactly sad. When Princess Spotlight hatched, Luminescence spent 2 whole months taking care of her. Wanted to make sure the princess was happy. You know, Lui was gonna spend an entire year with you and your siblings.” He says, trying to hold back tears.
“Awww!”I sniffle. “Anyways, what's you guys' names?”
“Guard Moonlark.” The friendly one answers.
“Guard Allsight.” The other replies.
“Well, nice meeting you too. Sorry it has to be in this condition.” I say.
“I am too.” Allsight agrees.
“Anyways, cages are so boring. Sad and dreary. Wouldn’t you too rather be upstairs dining and mingling in the musical dark!” I try, trying to twist them into wanting to free me and join me for dinner,
“Oh, wow! That sounds fun.” Moonlark grins and starts to open the cell door.
“Oooo. I love parties.” Allsight adds and shuffles out of the way.
“ALLSIGHT! MOONLARK! What do you guards think you are doing?” Queen Jewelclaws barks. “Leading a prisoner out, even if it is my daughter!”
“It won’t happen again.” Allsight promises.
“So sorry.” Moonlark bows.
“Well anyways, your stuff is ready for you to go.” Mother flicks her tail and leads me upstairs. 
“Mother...why are you doing this.” I give her the most shattered, pained look.
“I’m not sure.” She admits. “Your father thought it would be good for you to spend some time over there and yeah.” She shrugs.
“I don’t need mind-reading powers to know your lying! Do not pin the blame on father and give me this I don't know stuff.” I demand.
“Ok. You're getting too strong. I’m so scared your going to murder me and I don’t want that happening.” She finally admits. “I’m sorry but you have to go.”
Next thing I know, I’m lying in the snow with a new set of tougher guards yanking me up..
Hours later in the ice kingdom…
We land in the snow, right in front of the castle. I notice that the guards are trying to hide their shivers. And I’m trying to hide my fright. What if they throw me out? 
We flew over the village before. It’s not as festive as ours of course, but okay. 
“Hold it, NightWings.” The guard at the gate says gruffly. He continues to flip through a few pages attached to a clipboard. “Alright. You're on here but don’t try anything funny.
“Not in my wildest dreams.’’ I say as he opens the gate. 
We walk through. We enter a long, stretched hallway. A glass wall on the side, mimics the weather. Or so I heard. After what seems like forever, we make it to the throne room. Several dragons are in there. The queen, general, guards, 2 small dragonets, and a couple. 
“Hello!” Queen Snowfall says brightly, I notice that her voice has a rim of anxiety to it.
I bow. “Hello. I was hoping that you know why I am here and what’s gonna happen.” I say hopefully.
“As a matter in fact, I do. You, Princess North Star of the NightWings, are staying with your father. His family as well.” She flicks a tail towards the family.
I gulp, I hope nobody heard it. He is a sorta large dragon. His pristine wife is beside him along with his 2 little dragonets in the front.
“Hi…” Is all I can muster up.
“Hello! I am Hypothermia, your father. This is my wife, Glistening. These are my dragonets, Peppermint and Igloo.” He presents a broad smile aboard.
“Nice to meet you.” I smile.
I feel so confused and lost. Everything is strange and new. I feel like curling up in a pile of leaves and crying.
“Erm, we know a lot about you. Your queen informed us. You have 2 other siblings. Silvermind and Glittersky, correct? You are a princess.” Glistening seems just as awkward. Seeing as I am his secret dragonet.
‘’Yeah, I don’t know a lot about you guys.” I admit. 
“That’s okay.” Hypo answers.
“I’m sorry about everything.” I dip my head, feeling like I needed to say that.
“It’s okay.” He smiles back at me.
We walk down the hallway and back into the village. We enter a medium sized house. Nicely decorated.
“This will be your room.” Peppermint shows me, proud to be useful. “Right next to mine!”
I grin. “I’m excited and thankful I am staying with all of you.”
“Our pleasure.” Igloo chirps.
We all sit down at the table, once we put my things away. 
“Why don’t we play a game to really introduce ourselves.” Hypothermia offers.
“Sure.” I mumble.
An hour later…
We finally ended that wretched game. It was boring. I just want to go curl up on my rocky ledge and fall asleep. I am gonna extra pad it with some nice, soft leaves. 
“Peppermint, you're older, why don’t you show North Star around?” Glistening asks Pepper.
“Sure!” She smiles and leads me out the door.
I do not want to hang out with this 4 year old. I’m almost 7! I really don’t want to, not fair. 
“I’ll introduce you to Subzero first.” She smiles and starts walking toward the center of the village where all the dragonets played.
Thank goodness there are actually some dragonets around my age. We walk up to the talonful of dragonets. 
“This is North Star, everybody!” Peppermint announces to the gawking group.
“Erm, hi.” One dragonet says to me. He seems nervous and he has very pale red wings and a blue-icey body. 
“That is Subzero.” She introduces him. Seems to be about 5.
“Oh, the one you were talking about.” I smile. “Nice to meet you. I go by North or Star for short.”
“Um, yeah.” She blushes and looks away.
“Yeah, good to meet you.” He nods.
“Next is, Snowshoe.” She seems to have recovered.
“Hello! Pepper has told us so much about you.” She gushes. 4 year old, it seems.
“Well it’s a pleasure seeing you!” I do my best to be polite.
“And back to you.” She says sweetly.
“We have, Snowglobe!” She crows. “It’s this cool little device where you-”
I cut her off. “We had a few back home. I packed one.” I say.
“Oh, nice.” Snowglobe says. 5, again.
Peppermint’s smile faltered a little bit but she continued. “Last we have, Icedrop.”
“So good to meet you, Drop! Mind if I call you that?” I grin at him.
“Right back at ya, and sure! I love nicknames, but I don’t have any.” He flicks his tail and returns the smile. 6, I think. 
“Well you’ve met my crew. Why don’t we go home.” Mint says nervously.
“No, I’d love to chat!” I answer. I’m not trying to spite her, I just actually like her friends.
“Ok, then..” She replies.
“You need to meet Princess Celsete and Prince Neige. They are...interesting. Neige is like top circle and Celeste is well...a little strange. She’s nice and everything. Kinda like Whiteout just a little bit more normal-ish. She tends to ‘see music colors’ and ‘communicate with animals’.” Snowglobe giggles.
I frown. From what I heard about her, she seemed cool but I shrug it off. “Ok.” I do a fake laugh.
We start walking. I suck in a breath. Who knows how long I’ll be here, I need friends! I’m not really stealing Pepper’s friends. I’m not like taking them away, you know? Not purposely at least. Peppermint seems fine now. Chatting brightly with Subzero beside me. While on the other side of me...
“I hope Celeste and Neige don’t yell at us. Last time he did, remember?” Snowshoe shivers.
“Oh, don’t be a little dragonet! Who cares if he yells at us. It’s like he can run a kingdom and punish us.” Snowglobe snorts.
“He is son of QUEEN Snowfall, GENERAL Wolverine, and brother of PRINCESS Celeste. I mean Queen Snowfall can have you locked away for ‘harassment’ since that’s her precious son, Wolverine can have us tortured because that’s his son as well and nobody messes with him, and Princess Celsete can have us KILLED because that’s her brother and when she is queen, who knows what she’ll do. The princess is unpredictable!” Snowshoe, thoroughly points out.
“Sheesh. I guess but I’m not sure if Princess Celsete is that brutal.” Snowshoe shrugs.
“You guys never know.” I pipe up.
“I guess.” Snowglobe shrugs.
Already knowing the following questions will be: WAIT! How do you know about her? “In school, we had a Royalty Unit. We learned about the royalty from way back to Darkstalker’s time to now.” I say.
They both go quiet. Even Peppermint and Subzero on the other side of me, go silent. Three moons, what did I do? Must be a touchy subject, Darkstalker. “Erm, what did I do?”
“Darkstalker wiped out more than half the tribe last time he came back for a visit.” Pepper says in a steely voice.
“Oh, my apologies. I am sorry that happened. I f-forgot.” I stammer, anxiously.
“Why would you care? It’s not your tribe that pretty much got killed. Darkstalker is your tribe so you should be celebrating.” Snowshoe says in an icy voice.
“I-I.” I don’t know what to say.
I wish Silvermind and Glittersky were here. Silver would comfort me and Glitter would start barking rude things at them. They would be here for me, but now they can’t
I turn on my heels, lift up, and fly away towards the house. It’s not like I can go anywhere else. If I go back home, mother will just send me back and keep me here longer. I calmly walk into the house, trying not to look like anything was wrong. If Grandmother was here, I could tell her everything. 
“North! Back so soon. Might I ask where Peppermint is?” Hypothermia asks. 
More like: North! Why are you here? What did you do with Peppermint? “Peppermint is still talking with her friends. I got cold and wanted to come back out.” I lied. In reality I liked the cold. Feels refreshing! The other half is fairly true though. “Well, I’m gonna start unpacking my things and putting them out”
I wave a goodbye and step into my nice, breezy room. It has a nice window to the outside that I would typically like but now I don’t. I draw the lavender blinds down. Good thing they’re that color. Goes with my color scheme of lavender. I’m glad that mother packed all of my belongings. Shows she has a very least, a sliver of a heart. She even managed to get a box big enough for my white and lavender vanity! I pull it out and set it against the pearl-white wall. I pull out my white-rimmed mirror and set it on the wall. I even have a purple plant! I put it on my white bookshelf. It’s polished and sparkling. I fill it with all my best books and add the rest of my decor.
I step back and take a good look at my masterpiece. I fix my tilted lavender painting. Now it’s perfect. I frown as I hear pounding on my window. No doubt it’s dumb Peppermint, Subzero, Snowshoe, and Snowglobe coming to aplogize. I wait until the 5th knock. I draw open my shades and frown. Ah, I was right. I make a show of closing it again then open it when I hear their shouts and knocks. Once I have the shades completely up, I open the heavy window.
“What do you want?” I muster of the roughest growl I can.
“We wanted to apologize.” Mumbled Peppermint.
“We shouldn’t have said those things. Whether we were mad or not.” Admits Snowshoe.
“Would you like to come see Celeste and Neige with us?” Snowdrop offers.
“Alright!” I smile softly and climb out the window.
We once again start walking. “Where do they typically hang out? Outside the castle, I mean.”
“Hm. Usually in the  Gellis Gardens. Niege and Celeste and both 6 and twins!” Subzero tells me.
“Ooo! I’m guessing ‘gellis’ is a pretty snow flower! What does it look like?” I say excitedly.
Icedrop snickers.
“What?” I ask helplessly. “What did I do? What happened?”
“Gellis isn’t a flower. It’s snow and frost.” Snowshoe translates, even adding a small smile herself.
“Oh.” I say quietly. “90% of this place is snow. What’s so special about Gellis Gardens?”
“The snow is really sparkly and special over there. People say if you're hurting, it heals you. Mental AND physical. Special carvers make bushes and flowers out of ice.” Peppermint clarifies.
“Ohhh. Cool! How far is it though?” I ask to nobody in particular.
“Just within a few minutes.” Icedrop says. 
We walk until we hit the entrance of the garden. Pretty, really. Sure enough, the twins are sitting and talking on an ice bush in the middle of the Gellis Garden. We make our way over. I’m nervous so I linger in the back. 
“What are you doing.” Neige groans as we enter. I round the corner with my chin in the air defiantly but a soft smile on my face. “Um, I mean...you guys can stay I guess.” He finished awkwardly.
“Sweet!” Snowshoe grins.
“This is, North Star. She’s a NightWing-IceWing hybrid and my big sister. She’s a princess!” Mint says gleefully. 
“Hello. I gather that you are Neige and Celeste?” I smile and wave. Somebody pushes me to the front.
“Erm, yeah. Say hello, Celeste.” Neige gently commands his sister.
“Princess.” She just stares at me.
“Pardon?” I ask.
“You addressed us by our names. It's Prince Niege and Princess Celeste.” She growls.
“Easy, Cel.” He says soothingly and her tense posture relaxes.
“I’m so sorry.” I start, the princess gives me a glare. “Prince Niege and Princess Celeste.”
Neige just stares at me with a smile across his face and I feel uncomfortable. Does he think I’m pretty or am I just full of myself? He must think I’m ugly. Yes, that’s it. 
The prince and princess both have a faint red to them, like Subzero. Except he’s a bit frostier. They have faint red spikes, scale patterns going down all 4 legs, and a red fade at the end of their wings. Starts at the top a nice frosty white-blue to a soft red. On the legs, the red turns into a strange lavender-red-ish color. On the prince it looks almost handsome but on the princess, menacing. 
They each drip in jewels. I toy with my amethyst necklace. I just have on my special necklace, diamond earrings, and an emerald armband. Basic. They each have on rings, necklaces showing their status, bracelets, tailbands, armbands, all the places jewelry can go! I certainly feel small but I put on a confident look with a warm smile.
“What do you guys wanna do?” Icedrop asks us, he has on this odd expression. I’m not sure what it is. 
“I really don’t care.” Subzero shrugs and Peppermint gives him an adoring look.
“Whatever.” Snowglobe says.
“I don’t know.” Snowshoe adds.
“We could go to the castle.” Niege offers.
“Perhaps, just stay out of my room you blood-sucking lemmings!” Celeste hisses and flies off towards the castle.
I give Prince Neige a puzzled look. “Um, did we do something wrong?”
“No, no. She just has lots of secrets and her room is her safe haven. Nobody can yell or judge her.” He replies softly, a distant look in his eyes,
“I feel the same way.” Pepper admits as we start towards the castle. 
“What do you mean?” Snowshoe asks.
“Well, father tends to yell. He only likes Igloo, mother, and North.” She says sadly.
Everybody’s heads swivel towards me. 
“I-I’m sorry.” I stutter.
She just gives a shrug in return.
“You will like my cousin, Rhinestone.” Prince Neige tells me, eargarly.
“Alright, Prince Neige.” I say, uneasily.
“None of that prince stuff.” He rolls his eyes and we reach the entrance.
“Are these hooligans bothering you, Prince?” The gruff guard at the entrance asks.
“They’re with me. Just open the gate please, Petrel.” Neige asks politely.
“Alright.” He answers.
We walk down the same, frosty hall and within a few minutes we are in front of a bedroom with a closed door.. 
“This is Rhine’s room!” He says cheerfully to me. The others had already gone off to the kitchen with Celeste.
He pushes open the door. A very tall, glittery IceWing slowly turned around. She was huge and has a grey fade of wings. I am so tempted to call her slush. I could say: “Hey Slush.”
“WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!” The massive IceWings roars at me.
“Was that outloud?” I say in a meek, timid tone.
“Yep.” Neige whispers. “Rhinestone...we wanted to-”
“Go.” She commands.
We run off, terrified. “I thought she would be nice!” I gasp.
“Bad mood?” He guesses. 
“NEIGE! Why did I hear you were with another female?” A dragonet our age starts to round the corner. She stops and puts on a fake grin when she sees me.
She’s a husky female with VERY pale yellow horns, soft red tipped tail, purple-ish scales on the talons, and regular ice-blue wings. The rest of her was white. She looked sorta like the northern lights. 
“Hello!” She says loudly.
Neige covers his face.
“Hi. I’m North Star, I-” I start.
“Oh, I know who you are. That famous-ish NightWing princess whose father is an IceWing. I also know you're a boyfriend snatcher!” She shrieks.
“You have a girlfriend, Ni?” I ask, confused. 
“No, Foxfire is NOT my girlfriend! Just a very good liar.” The prince grumbles.
“Oh you're just embarrassed to be with me!” She accuses and starts walking closer towards him.
“Um, Fox if you could just back up a little bit?” He asks.
“Is she an IceWing-SkyWing hybrid? I mean the name..” I ask.
“Foxfire means northern lights.” She clarifies.
“Will you just leave us alone.” Neige jerks away from her grasp and we run down the hall. She stands there with a wounded look.
“We were too harsh?” I ask.
“It’s the only way to get through to her.” He replies.
“I guess…” I answer, feeling bad. “Who is she to you? I mean I’m not asking because...It’s just weird she’s in the castle without being a visitor or anything.”
“Friend of the family. Mother is best friends with her mother, Snowscale. They even call her Lady Snowscale from how close they are.” He shrugs.
“Anybody else who is scary or clingy you wanna show me?” I half-jokingly say.
“How about Icecube? Wait nevermind, you’ll meet him at the party.” He smiles.
“Who’s Icecube? What party?” I ask.
“Icecube is my best mate. Have been since we were two. I’m inviting you to the party tonight! You know, you weren’t the only special dragon to arrive. Queen Thorn came just last night. My mother is throwing the party for her!” Niege exclaims.
“I’m invited?” I say, flustered. “T-thank you!”
“Of course!” He flashes another bright smile at me. 
“I hear that the SandWings are quite the musical tribe. Love to throw festivals and dance and everything.” I offer.
“Ah, yes. Mother wouldn’t stop talking about SandWings yesterday. She said we are gonna have lots of music.”
“Yeah.” I reply.
Chapter 3
We walk into the ballroom. Beside me, Peppermint laughs nervously. Snowshoe fidgets. Subzero lifts his chin up. Icedrop tries his best to look confident. Snowglobe scopes. I look at Neige. Neige smiles. Celeste looks stiff.
“Everybody here has tons of jewelry, are you sure I’m fine?” I whisper, ask Neige.
“Not everybody.” He points out. “A few dragons aren’t wearing any at all, I’m afraid.” He does a slight snort.
“Quit walrusing around you two, we need to go mingle or mother will yell at us for being anit-social turtles in our shells!” Celeste leans over and whispers to us.
I found that she was actually quite funny. A little like Glittersky. I release a giggle.
“You sound like a chipmunk!” Snowshoe laughs.
“A deranged chipmunk.” Peppermint jokes.
“Yeah, I’m the deranged one…” I answer with a smirk.
This time it’s Subzero to burst into laughter. Pepper goes all red. 
We walk down the short flight of stairs. A few SandWing guards and just a few SandWings accompany Thorn. One is named Qibli, I think. One of the famous dragons to stop Darkstalker. He has a green-eyed NightWing with him. She fidgets nervously and her eyes dart around like she’s been caught with a secret. Moonwatcher. Another dragon to stop Darkstalker. Grew up in the rainforest while other dragonets lived on the volcano, suffering. I’m pretty sure the guards are Thorn’s outclaws. 
The only jewelry Queen Thorn wears is this necklace. The Eye of the Onyx. Pretty cool, really. 
Suddenly, Neige starts waving somebody over. “Icecube!” He cries.
A dragon starts bounding over. He is the iciest blue I have ever seen with darker blue splotches on the ends of his wings, shoulders, snout, and toros. Tiny and scattered. I can't help but gasp, feeling a little flustered again. I can feel a faint blush creeping onto my face. He wears a second circle necklace.
“Neige!” He grins. “Now who might this be?” A soft smile forms.
“This is North Star! And her friends-” The prince pauses to turn around. “Are gone?”
“Hello. 	I go by North or Star for short. Neige told me so much about you.” I try to keep my cool.
“Nice. I’ll call you….Starryeyes. I can see stars in them!” He starts, the smile still afloat. “Prince Neige and I have been friends since we were small.”
My smile drops for a second when he calls me Starryeyes. It’s what Astrid Sight calls me. I pull it back up. “Aw, that’s so sweet! And I’m gonna call you...Inkcube!” I giggle.
Neige and Icecube laugh. 
“Hmmm...Inkcube. Seems to fit!” Icecube grins.
“Let’s introduce you to Queen Thorn!” Neige offers. “She’s quite nice.”
“Last few times you introduced me to somebody, they were malicious and the other way clingy.” I laugh. 
“That’s me. Utterly malicious and clingy.” Ink agrees, dipping his head.
“Well, come on! Ice isn’t that...clingy.” Neige says, rolling his eyes.
“Your saying I’m malicious! HOW DARE YOU!” Inkcube accuses, jokingly.” 
We all start laughing. Neige confidently strides up to the group around Thorn. Icecube walks up behind Neige and I meekly trail him.
“Queen Thorn! It’s good to see you again, I wanted to introduce you to my friends!” Neige presents us.
“Hello, Prince Neige!” She smiles and turns toward us.
“This is North Star and Icecube.” He introduces.
“Hello Queen Thorn. It’s amazing to meet you!” I say.
“I've always wanted to meet you.” Ice smiles. 
“It’s a pleasure to meet you both. I can’t help but notice that you're half NightWing.” She says.
“Yeah. My mother wanted me to come meet my mother.” I nod.
“Gotten any more jewels or anything? How are the politics?” Inkcube asks.
I cover my face from embarrassment. The two major things you do not ask! Neige lightly kicks him.
“What? What did I do?” Cube looks genuinely confused but then I see the mischievous look in his eyes.
“You do not discuss politics at all! Especially at parties.” It looks like Neige is mad but has a tint of humor to his voice.
“It’s quite alright. It’s actually pretty good, thanks for asking.” Thorn laughs, looking amused. 
“Well, why don’t I show you my sister, Glacial?” Ink asks me as we pardon ourselves from the SandWing queen and walk away.
“Hm. Depends, what is she like?” I ask back.
“She’s sweet but fierce. Second circle like me. Quick witted. During self defense training with a RainWing, she got a terrifying scar a few years back. Queen Glory of the RainWings wanted her tribe to know how to fight all tribes just in case. They were training and mind you, nobody was actually gonna hurt each other. Glacial was closing in on him and he panicked. Shot my sister right on the wing. She is 6 at the moment, Turning 7 next month.” He shrugs.
“That’s awful!” I frown.
“She’s okay now.” He smiles and we walk up to a white dragon with grey spikes. She has a few grey freckles spread across her snout. “Glac! I wanted to introduce you to my good friend, North Star.”
“You have only known her for like 10 minutes.” Neige rolls his eyes.
She stuck a talon out and I look at it confused. “That’s what scavengers do when they greet new scavengers.” She giggles when she sees my puzzled expression.
“Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you Glacial. I hear your turning 7 soon! I’m so excited for my hatching day, it's just in a few days!” I start, happily. “It’s just in a few days...I won’t be able to celebrate with Astrid Sight, Silvermind, and Glittesky…” My voice drops.
“I thought you were just a triplet. Not a quadruplet.” Neige asks, confused. “That’s what I heard, at least.”
“Um. I am. Kinda. We were all in different eggs but hatched within a few minutes of each other. Glittersky and Silvermind are my sibs. Astrid Sight is my...friend.” I answer.
“Oh, cool.” She answers.
“Just want to introduce you to! Might be good friends if you decide to stay longer!” Icecube says. “See ya later, Glacial!” He calls as we walk away.
“If.” I mumble.
“What?” Neige asks.
“Nothing.” I reply, quickly. 
Suddenly Icedrop comes running up. “If you have to see this! We found 7 dragonets who were all in one egg!” He says excitedly and runs off.
I tilt my head. “Oh my stars! What in three moons! Comets and galaxies above!” I exclaim and run off, leaving the boys standing there.
As I steadily run up and slow down to where my friends are, I see them. So alike. They all look like a basic IceWing. Just more elegant it seems. Beautiful white wings with a few flecks of diamond blue scattered across. They even shine a little like diamonds. They look nothing like stars. They have the same diamond blue spikes and dots lining down the spine, tail, and down the front legs. Pretty, really. An oval around the eyes has the same shade of blue. They have diamond-colored eyes too. I bet they’re all named Diamond or Shineface. Hehe. I can imagine Glittersky giggling like mad at my thoughts. They all have name tags as well?
Everybody is chattering. 
“This is North Star! North Star this is, Iceburg, Icecap, Icedrift, Icefield, Iceflat, Iceland, and Icesheet.” Subzero presents, proudly.
“Hello!” They all say. Not at once of course. 
The boys; Iceburg, Icecap, Icefield, and Iceland, all have the same exact voice. The girls; Icedrift and Icesheet share the same voice as well. 
“Good to meet you all. This is very shocking, if you don’t mind me saying.” I say, quietly. 
‘’No, no. Not at all. We know we all are very...unusual. Mother says our egg was crazy big.” Icecap agrees.
“She also has a thing for ice, father too. Her name is Icelights and our father is named Icestriker.” Icefield shrugs.
“You guys are so cool!” Snowshoe squeals.
“Thank you! We understand that you, North Star, have 2 other siblings in the hatching with you?” Icesheet says gently. 
“How does everybody know that?” I wonder aloud.
“Everybody just knows, I guess.” Peppermint shrugs.
We all continue chatting for quite some time but eventually I zone off, I don’t remember when though. I do remember my plan. Escape this place and go home to my siblings. As cool as; Peppermint, Subzero, Snowshoe, Snowglobe, Icedrop, Neige, Celeste, Icecube, Iceburg, Icecap, Icefield, and Iceland are; I wanna go home.  
I miss my friends, family, and siblings. But I can’t leave just yet, can I? The emotions start to overwhelm me.
“Excuse me, I’m going to get some fresh air.” I mumble to nobody in particular and walk away.
I walk until I hit the outside. I walk to Gellis Gardens and into the farthest corner. Then, I start crying. Delicate snowflakes fall around me. My vision is coming true..it’s a matter of time until I get another vision or prophecy. It kills me to do this, but I have to leave now. I search for a piece of paper in my satchel. I pull out a pen and start scrawling a note.
Dear; Peppermint, Subzero, Snowshoe, Snowglobe, Icedrop, Neige, Celeste, and Icecube.
 		I’m so sorry to say this but, I’m leaving. I’m long gone now so please don’t come looking for me. You guys really touched my heart but I have to go home. I hope you understand my decision, hopefully we cross paths once again. I have a feeling we will.
  								Best wishes,
									North Star.
THE END!!
