== The Last Summer ==
Writer's note: This is set 2000 years after the events of TDG. THIS IS A WIP. PLEASE DO NOT EDIT, USE OR STEAL WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Hope you enjoy!
Prophecy: 
Balance of day
Balance of Night
A large weight of promise
To end the light.
Dark and light
By powers sun and moon
Flowers blooming
Ending soon
The world will crumble
The world will freeze
The world will end
The world will go in a chilling breeze
Ice and night
Terror and fright
Due to hatch under two moons shining bright
Ice and night will end the fight for the end of the world.
== Prologue ==
Heavy panting whistled around the trees, as a dragon ran. Sagittarius paused, his chest heaving. In the cradle of his claws lay a round, silvery-blue egg that radiated chills everywhere. His citrus orange scales brushed against the large trees of the Rainforest. Eyes. Everywhere he looked, all he could see were eyes.
"Hello?" he called desperately, "anyone out there?" a loud thump sounded behind him. Sagittarius turned, letting out a breath of relief. "Pisces! Is that you?" the Night/Sea hybrid nodded, water dripping from her chin.
"You idiot," Pisces scolded, "what were you thinking, stealing a ROYAL IceWing egg- RIGHT when Queen Radiance visits Queen Hydrangea for a diplomatic visit??" Sagittarius sighed, setting the egg down, watching the icy white glow light the dark moss that covered the ground.
"I had to," he insisted, "I can't fail the Equinox Prophecy!"
"Yeah right," Pisces scoffed, "what? 'ice and night will end the fight for the end of the world' you really believe that? It's not even poetic, and doesn't even rhyme!"
"I believe in the prophecy," Sagittarius flared fiercely, "The world could end soon, and I have to help it not, so I can save everyone!" Save you. Sagittarius thought painfully. Pisces softened slightly.
"Listen, I know you think we could be happy together, but it's not that simple-"
"It is!" Sagittarius snapped, "If you could only TRY to be happy, we'd be there already!"
"Sagittarius, you KNOW we're not made for each other. Mother already has someone she wants me to marry,"
"What, do you want to marry him too?" he growled, annoyed.
"I know it's hard, but-"
"If you don't want to be with me, then just tell me!"
"Look, mother doesn't want TRIBRID heirs for the throne, a hybrid one is already bad enough!" Pisces hissed, before turning toward the undergrowth, her tail knocking over small plants.
"Wait-" Sagittarius tried, but Pisces was already gone. "P-Pisces? Pisces..."
Tears falling down his snout, Sagittarius, alone once more, picked up the egg and slowly walked toward a small, dark hut, where a silver egg lay, lit by a ray of moonlight. He lay the IceWing egg next to the NightWing one and looked up. Please make this work. Sagittarius prayed, please don't let the world end. And by all means possible, don't make Pisces go forever...
A small cracking noise made Sagittarius look down. Both eggs were shaking. The silver egg cracked open, and a small, black dragonet fell out.
"Mmm?" the NightWing hummed.
"Hello," Sagittarius lifted her up, touching noses with the dragonet, so he could see the small silver teardrop scales next to her dark turquoise eyes. "I think I'll call you Hopefinder."
There was a small squeak, and Sagittarius only just remembering that there was another egg, set Hopefinder down, back into the fur-lined nest. He peeked in, to find a silvery blue IceWing dragonet staring at him with wide, hazy blue eyes. Another female? Sagittarius shook the thought away. It didn't matter. I have the two dragonets now. The dragonets of light. Something like that. I need a cool name for them. Sagittarius blinked at Hopefinder, who was already exploring the perimeter of the nest. The Dragonets of Hope. I like that. I have them now. The world's not going to end. It won't... it can't. I vow, that as long as my blood flows, and even longer, that these dragonets WILL be the ones hatched to end the fight for the end of the world.
== Chapter 1 ==
~Hopefinder~
Hopefinder weaved through the trees toward her hut. A glistening, white dragon jumped in her path.
"What took you so long?" Snowdrop growled, following Hopefinder. "All you were doing was grabbing moss and ferns for bedding!"
"Sorry," Hopefinder shrugged, placing the plants down on Sagittarius' desk. "I visited Pisces today."
"Pisces?" Snowdrop echoed with distaste. "You know what Sagittarius says about her."
"I do," Hopefinder sighed, heading back outside. "But she's really nice when you get to know her."
"That's not what I mean," Snowdrop protested, blocking Hopefinder's way. "She doesn't believe in the prophecy. Also, Pisces is creepy."
"She is not!" Hopefinder shot back, "how would you know, since you've never even talked to her before?" Hopefinder ducked under Snowdrop's wing, having the advantage of being smaller. Snowdrop recoiled.
"I-" she started, before a rough voice cut in smoothly.
"What are you two up to now?" a tall SkyWing exhaled, frustrated. Snowdrop and Hopefinder exchanged guilty glances.
"Sagittarius!" Snowdrop exclaimed, pretending to be surprised.
"Go on, tell me," Sagittarius pushed, "were you arguing again?"
"Maybe," Snowdrop said coily, nudging Hopefinder sharply with a wing.
"Ow! What?" Hopefinder yelped.
"What were you two arguing about?" Sagittarius murmured disapprovingly.
"Nothing!" Hopefinder declared.
At the same time, "About Pisces," Snowdrop admitted. Hopefinder shot her best friend an irritated glare, which Snowdrop exchanged with an apologetic shrug.
Sorry. Snowdrop thought to Hopefinder.
"What about Pisces?" Sagittarius asked carefully, his tail twitching slightly.
"She doesn't trust Pisces," Hopefinder growled.
"As you shouldn't," Snowdrop pointed out, "Pisces doesn't believe,"
"Believe in what?" Hopefinder shot.
"Believe in the prophecy, silly. You know perfectly well what I mean!" Snowdrop lashed her tail.
"But what if there is no prophecy?" Hopefinder said flatly, bummed.
"Hopefinder!" Sagittarius exclaimed, whacking his wing with her's. Oh, when did this one become so... hopeless? he thought.
"I'm not hopeless!" Hopefinder hissed hotly. "I'm just saying, this prophecy isn't even well known in Pyrrhia."
"Look, if there was no prophecy, would you have hatched?" Sagittarius questioned gently.
"If there was no prophecy, Snowdrop could be sitting on a throne right now!" Hopefinder burst out, annoyed. Sagittarius stared at her as if she'd just slapped him.
She realised, too late, that Snowdrop's heritance was not known to anyone but her and Sagittarius.
"What are you saying?" Snowdrop asked slowly, quietly.
Oh dear... what have I done?
== Chapter 2 ==
~Snowdrop~
Snowdrop stared at Hopefinder, shocked. "What do you mean?" Snowdrop demanded, her tail bristling slightly.
"It's... complicated," Sagittarius confessed, his wings sweeping around him, a look of regret painted over him.
"Start from the beginning," Snowdrop prompted, sitting down, "It's not like we're going anyway,"
Sagittarius sighed. "Very well, as you wish. Around four or five years ago, Queen Radiance visited this very Rainforest. With her, a chest with a small, silvery-blue egg."
"And?" Hopefinder prompted, bored.
"A-and I stole the egg. I knew it had to be the one of the prophecy- it had to be!" Sagittarius exclaimed.
"And you just tell me NOW?" Snowdrop leapt to her talons with a growl. "WHY?" She turned on her tail and hurried back to the hut. Why do those two always keep secrets from me? It's not like those two are any more special than me. Why?
"Snowdrop?" Sagittarius called from behind her softly.
"Go away, Sagittarius," Snowdrop hissed grouchily, "I don't want to talk to you right now. Hopefinder is right, you shouldn't have kept it a secret."
"Well," Sagittarius flared defensively, "There was no point of telling you. What would it have changed anyway?"
"Are you two still arguing?" Hopefinder's voice cut in smoothly, slightly annoyed.
"It doesn't matter, Hopefinder," Snowdrop called over her shoulder, "It's Sagittarius' fault alone, but butting your head in the wrong business will make it your fault too,"
"Alright! Fine, I'll leave you two to argue til bedtime!" Hopefinder stomped off, moss squelching beneath her claws. Snowdrop sighed, stepping into the hut heavily.
"Look, Sagittarius, I'm not mad at you. I just want an apology." Snowdrop sank into the wooden floor, her tail sweeping around her claws.
"You're forgetting who's older tha-" Sagittarius started.
"I just want an apology," Snowdrop snapped coldly, her blue eyes flashing. Sagittarius blinked at her.
"Very well. I-I'm sorry, Snowdrop. Princess Snowdrop." Sagittarius bowed his head respectfully. Snowdrop stared at him in shock. For the first time, an adult dragon had shown her somewhat respect. A wave of thrill swept through her. If I can make other dragons respect me, what else can I do?
