The main characters are mine! Deep Freeze is her link. You can read more about her there!
== Proluge ==
Deep touched her egg. Deep was a deep blue like the sea. She was a SeaWing after all. Her egg was a sky blue, which was unusual for a SeaWing egg. Deep turned and saw her mate, Freeze, flying towards her. He was an icewing.
“How is our egg?” He asked in a gentle way.
“Its good,” Deep answered. 
A sharp CRACKmade both dragons look at the egg.
There was a crack on the egg. 
“Its hatching!” Deep said with excitement.
CRACK!! CRACK! The egg fell apart and in its place was a dragonet. She was obviously a hybrid but Deep didn’t care. The dragonet was a pale blue not an icy blue. She had spikes along her back like an icewing. She had green webs like a seawing. She had some extra sharp claws. The dragonet squeaked and stood up, shaking herself. She was perfect.
“What shall we call her?”asked Deep.
Freeze thought for a moment, “How about Deep Freeze?” he asked.
Deep smiled, “That’s it. The perfect name.” 
“That’s what youthink,” growled a voice behind them. Deep whipped around. Deep’s brother, Angler, stood there. Deep picked up the dragonet.
“You can’t hurt her!” Deep screeched.
“Yes. I. Can,” Angler growled.  
“Deep. Fly away with Deep Freeze!” Freeze whispered, “I’ll hold him off for a while,”
Deep sighed, “I’ll meet you by the Lost River,” Deep said.
Freeze nodded and charged at Angler.
Deep flew as fast as she could, until she found the Lost River. 
Later that night, Freeze came.
“I think we should stay here for now,” Freeze said.
Deep nodded and looked down at her dragonet. She would do anything to protect her little one.  
== Chapter One ==
Five years later…
Deep Freeze sat in her bedroom. She looked out her window and out into the sea. Her Mother was fishing and her Father was hunting. So Deep Freeze was home alone. It rarely happened but when it did, she was home for a long time. Stay in the house. Her parent’s rules sang in her head. Don’t go without permission. If someone comes, hide in the bunker. Hide from a dragon named Angler.Deep Freeze sighed. Her parents treated her like a jewel. She could defend herself very well, thank you very much. Deep Freeze wanted to explore. Not sit in a house all day. But Deep Freeze would never disobey, even if it was her dream. Sometimes she wished she could be a normal dragon instead of a hybrid. Then, maybe she could do something. 
Deep Freeze heard wingbeats and saw her Father come flying towards the house. She also heard the cow he was bringing which was mooing like crazy.  
“Deep Freeze?” she heard her Father call.
“In my room!” she yelled back.
She walked out into the hall, then into the living room where her Father was. He smiled when he saw her come in.
“How are you?” he asked.
Deep Freeze shrugged.        
Father nodded. “Is your mother back yet?” 
Deep Freeze shook her head, “Not yet,” she answered. If she was back I would have gone swimming with her or something.She thought angrily.
“You didn’t leave right?” he asked. Deep Freeze knew it was coming.
“No,” she said in a bored voice. 
Father nodded, “Good,” he said.
Deep Freeze rolled her eyes.
Her father sighed, “Oh Freezy, I know you hate it, but its to keep you safe,” he said. 
Blah blah blah! I. Don’t. CARE! You always say that!  Deep Freeze thought, growling. Why didn’t her parents let her fight.When ever she said ‘I can fight on my own!’ They would only say, ‘Freezy, we talked about this. We can take care of it. You be safe.’ They didn’t know what she could do. They wouldn’t let her tell them. Her freezing death breath was stronger then a normal IceWing’s breath. She knew because she saw her father freeze a pig once. Deep Freeze froze a pig too, and it turned black from frostbite. Then she started freezing other things at night when her parents were asleep. Even if the breath barely touched it, the whole thing turned black.
“WHY? I can fight TOO you know!” growled Deep Freeze.
“Freezy, we talked about this. We can do it for you. I don’t want to hear another word about this, is that clear?” her Father asked.
Deep Freeze sadly nodded. She knew she couldn’t win. And that was normal. Normal, and annoying. 
“So, what’s for dinner?” Deep Freeze asked.
“I got a cow. I suppose your mother got fish,” Father answered, looking disgusted when he said fish. Deep Freeze smiled. He hated fish as much as Rainwings hated water. 
The two heard a splash and saw Mother walk in, with a basket full of different kinds of slimy, wet, colorful fish. Father walked up to Mother and the two twined tails. 
“How was your day?” he asked.
“Tiring,”Mother answered. 
Deep Freeze came over to the dragons, “Hello Mother,” she said.
Mother smiled, “Hello. How was your day?” she asked.
Why did everyone ask this question? They already knew the answer! 
“Fine, I guess, “Deep Freeze said, annoyed.
“Good. Now, who’s hungry?”Mother asked.
                        *  * *  
Deep Freeze couldn’t sleep. Dinner had been good. The cow had got loose from the pin and was running around the house.  Father finally caught it way past dinner time. But Deep Freeze wasn’t hungry. The moons seemed to call her. They shone through her window, lighting up the room. Deep Freeze got out of her bed, creeped through the house, and sat down next to the river.  Deep Freeze breathed in the air. It smelled so fresh. She heard a splash and looked down at the water.What could be awake at this hour?  A fish jumped out of the water. And again. And again. It seemed to be running away from something. But what?The fish jumped again but something caught it and pulled it down underwater. Deep Freeze blinked. Was someone fishing? I thought only Mother and Father knew about this place, Deep Freeze thought. A sunfish jumped out of the water this time. Then, Deep Freeze saw a light green claw come out of the water and snatch the fish. It is another dragon. Deep Freeze realized. If someone comes, hide in the bunker. Well, sorry! I’m staying to see this dragon!
Deep Freeze hid in a bush and waited for the dragon to come out. After awhile, a green dragon emerged. He was mostly light green, but some of him was dark green.  Deep Freeze had never met, let alone seen, a dragon other than Mother and Father. She felt herself crouch lower. The dragon whipped his head around, looking at everything around him. The he spotted the house. His eyes turned to slits. Then he slithered back into the water. Deep Freeze went back to the house. She had a feeling that the dragon was coming back. And that he was coming back for her.
     
“How was your sleep?” asked Mother at breakfast.
“Uh, good,” Deep Freeze said. She hadn’t told her parents about the dragon she saw last night. They would only lock her up in her room until they got the mysterious dragon discovered or dead.  “How was your sleep?” 
Mother smiled, “It was nice.”
“How about you Father?” asked Deep Freeze.
“Fine,”Father said.
“Are you guys going anywhere today?”asked Deep Freeze.
“Maybe. We aren’t sure,” Mother said.
Deep Freeze nodded, “Ok,”   
Deep Freeze had been thinking all night about that dragon. Who could he be? Maybe he was a nice dragon. Or he could be an evil dragon. Deep Freeze was thinking evil. The way he had glared at the house made her all queasy inside. 
“What’s wrong dear?” asked Father.
“What do you mean?” Deep Freeze asked.
“You seem to be thinking hard or something.” her father said. 
Deep Freeze shrugged. She wasthinking hard. But her parents couldn’t know about it. Deep Freeze was going to find out about the dragon she saw last night. She just needed to get away from her parents. Mmmmm. 
“Hey Mom. Can I go fishing? Like, right now?” Deep Freeze asked.
“Uh, sure,” Mother said, puzzled. 
“Thanks!” Deep Freeze said. Wow! She didn’t think that would work! Deep Freeze got up, and went outside, just like she did last night. Deep Freeze scanned the beach. Nothing. Deep Freeze growled.  The dragon must have taken away any signs of him being there. No!Ugg! Why! It was not fair. Then, something caught Deep Freeze’s eye. A big rock was there. And it wasn’t  there yesterday… Ahah! So Mister Brainy left a stone here so he could know where to come to. Smart. Deep Freeze would just have to wait till night. But did Deep Freeze want to wait that long. Oh! I know what to do! Tonight i’ll get up like I did last night and spy on the dragon! Good plan! Deep Freeze thought. Deep Freeze caught some fish, and went inside. 
Deep Freeze went inside the house. Her parents where not in the kitchen.
“Should we let her come?” she heard the voice of her father. It sounded like it was coining from their bedroom.
“I’m not sure,”Mother said. 
Deep Freeze creeped over to their door to hear more.
“She has never been to town you know,” Father said in a hushed voice. 
“But what if,” Mother said, sounding as if she might cry, “What if Angler comes and-”
Deep Freeze heard Father walk over to mother and wrap his wings around her, “You know what I did to him. He should be dead.”
“What if someone else tries to hurt her?” Mother asked
“Do you want to bring her?” asked Father.
There was silence, “Yes. Let’s bring her.” Mother said after a while. 
“To the small town?” asked Father.
“Yes. That sounds good,” Mother said.
Deep Freeze could barely believe her ears! Going to TOWN! Deep Freeze dashed to her room.She was so happy. Deep Freeze had only heard about the town. It was nearby with streets filled with shops. Deep Freeze sat down on her bed, swishing her tail. She heard foot step come her way. She turned around and saw her Father come in. 
“Sweetie?” Father asked. Deep Freeze turned around. 
“Yes?” she asked.
“We want you to come with us to town today.”Father said smiling.
Deep Freeze tried to look surprised, “Really?” she asked. 
She must have looked surprised because Father smiled, “Yes,” He said. Then he pulled a small bag from behind his back. It was a sky blue with deep blue swirls. Deep Freeze couldn’t take her eyes off of it. He took Deep Freeze’s hand and placed the bag in it. The bag felt as if it was velvet. Deep Freeze looked up at Father in surprise. Father nodded, “Its yours! Look what is inside it!” he said smiling from ear to ear. 
Deep Freeze opened up the bag. Inside were five silver pieces, ten bronze pieces, and two gold pieces. Deep Freeze gasped. 
“That’s right! You can buy what you want in town!” Father said. 
Deep Freeze had no words. She hugged her Father. 
“Thank you,” she whispered.
“Well, what are we waiting for?” Father asked, “Let’s go!”
== Chapter Two ==
Mother, Father, and Deep Freeze lifted off and soared to town. It was a twenty-five minute flight, but for Deep Freeze, it felt like an hour. When they finally got there, and Deep Freeze saw what it was like, it was like a whole new world. The towns where full of dragons, all different colors. She saw a sign on top that said: All Tribes Welcome! 
         Different colors filled the streets. The trio landed and Mother came up to Deep Freeze’s side. 
“Are you ready?” she asked.
Deep Freeze nodded.
Mother smiled, “Ok. Let’s go! Stay close to us,” she said. 
For the first time in her life, she didn’t care. She didn’t mind if her parents where following her every steps. She was going into town and that was all that mattered. The three entered and she held her breath. Deep Freeze saw dragons of all types. There were a few brown ones, some yellow ones, and some red ones. They were so colorful. There were some dragons selling food, which smelled good. Deep Freeze touched her bag. She would spend her money wisely. She looked though all the shops. And then one shop caught her eye. A beautiful pearl necklace sat on a table. It had the same colors as her bag, except that the colors were flipped. It was deep blue with sky blue swirls. A Seawing was organizing some more jewelry behind the table. She flicked her Mother with her tail. 
“Mother. Look at the necklace. Can you find out how much it is?” she asked.
Mother looked at it. She smiled, “I’ll ask,” she said.
Mother walked up to the Seawing. They talked for a while and Mother walked over to Deep Freeze. 
“It is one gold piece,” Mother said.
Deep Freeze smiled, “I want it,” She said.
“Then go get it!” Mother said.
Deep Freeze smiled. She walked up to the stand. The SeaWing smiled when she saw Deep Freeze come up. 
“Hello, can I help you?” the Seawing asked.
“I would like the pearl necklace please.” Deep Freeze said.
“One gold piece,” the Seawing said.
Deep Freeze got out her pouch and took out one gold piece. She placed it on the table.
The Seawing smiled and picked up the necklace, and gave it to Deep Freeze, 
“Thank you,” Deep Freeze said, putting on the necklace. 
The Seawing held up a mirror so Deep Freeze could see how it looked on her. It shone against her scales, shimmering.  Deep Freeze loved it. 
“Its beautiful! Thank you!” Deep Freeze said again.
“No, thank you!” The SeaWing said. She took a good look at Deep Freeze and said, “You’re a hybrid aren’t you?” 
Deep Freeze nodded. 
The seawing smiled, “I’ve always wanted to be a hybrid! It would be so cool! My parents were normal. But yours must be amazing!”
Deep Freeze smiled, “They are. Thank you again for the necklace!” Deep Freeze said again walking back to her parents. 
“You look wonderful!” Father said. 
“Thanks,”Deep Freeze said. She would treasure the necklace forever. 
Mother hugged Deep Freeze, “I think you got something that is very nice.”
The three walked off to find some more things. 
At the end of the day, Deep Freeze didn’t get anything else. But she didn’t mind. They all left and went back home. This time they went through the woods so no one could follow. Deep Freeze went to her room. She put her bag in a drawer so it was safe. Now, it was time to see the dragon.
It was night. Deep Freeze crept though the house again. When she went outside she hid in the same bush. Soon, the same dragon she saw last night came from the water. This time he brought an older dragon. His wing was torn and he had scratches all along his back. He was light blue and looked a lot like mother. He growled.
“This is the house. Deep lives here. I can smell her,” the older dragon said. His voice was hoarse and it creaked with age. But it still sounded evil. 
The other dragon blinked in confusion, “You can…smell her?” he asked.
“I mean I can tell she lives here. Kelp, don’t you know anything?” the big dragon asked.
Kelp looked down at his claws, “Sorry,” he grumbled 
“We will come back later,”the older one said.
Kelp sadly nodded and slipped into the water after the other one. 
That older dragon. He was interesting. And he might be Angler. Deep Freeze went back to the house. Who ever he was, Deep Freeze was ready to defend her family. And maybe, herself.
Deep Freeze got out of bed. She yawned and put her neckless on. Then she walked into the dinning room. There was no one there.  Only a note that was on the table. It read:
Deep Freeze,
Mother and I are going out to town. A big sale is happening. We are sorry that you can’t come. We hope you understand.  Father
 Ok then. Deep Freeze knew her parents would not let her go. A big sale? Angler could be anywhere in that crowd. Deep Freeze sighed. She had hoped that after yesterday, her parents would let her go see the world. Oh well. 
“Might as well practice frost breath aiming,”Deep Freeze said to her self. 
She went outside and breathed on a plant. It instantly turned black. Deep Freeze continued to practice until she got bored. Then she got hungry. 
Lets go hunt then,Deep Freeze thought. 
Deep Freeze went to the river. She caught a few fish and began to eat. Eating was boring. Deep Freeze looked around her. Her home was next to a big river. In the horizon, she saw some mountains with white tips. When she was younger, she imagined flying to the top and looking down at all the dragons. The thought made her smile. She had asked her mother to take her up to the top. But Mother had only laughed and said, ‘You’re so much like your Father.” Maybe Father would let her go up there. 
Deep Freeze sighed. Why wouldn’t her parents let her do anything? ‘To protect you.’ Her mother’s voice said, ‘We want to make sure you don’t die.’ 
“Well you make life bad. How can that be protecting?” Deep Freeze asked the air. 
The wind seemed to reply by swishing around her. Whisper. Whisper.It was as if the wind understood. 
A splash in the water made Deep Freeze hide in a bush. She went up to where she always went. Deep Freeze saw Kelp standing nervously in the sand. Then a Skywing came.
A Skywing?! What was he doing here? The Skywing was orange with ruby under scales. 
“Are you sure you should do this? Kelp asked. 
The Skywing rolled his eyes, “Yes. Angler said yes.”
“But Tornado, dragons live there.” Kelp said, “We might end lives. We-”
“Oh calm down! That’s what we are here for! Angler told us to. We work for him. Lets jut burn down this house already!” Tornado said, lifting up into the air a little.
Kelp looked down at his claws and grumbled something. 
Tornado inhaled, getting ready to blow fire. Oh no you don’t! Deep Freeze thought fiercely.
Deep Freeze jumped out. She rammed into the Skywing and he plummeted to the ground. Kelp widened his eyes. Deep Freeze went to the ground. “This is my home! You can’t burn it down!” She cried. 
Tornado got up. He narrowed his eyes to slits, “Oh yeah? What are you going to do to me, hybrid?” he asked, saying the word hybrid like it was a piece of trash. 
“I’ll do this!” Deep Freeze said and jumped onto him. She clawed at him. Tornado roared as Deep Freeze clawed his wings.
“Kelp! Help me!” Tornado yelled. He glared at Deep Freeze. Then he bit her tail, making royal purple blood come out. Deep Freeze jumped off in pian. Tornado got up. He charged for Deep Freeze and gave her a long scratch on her side. Deep Freeze turned towards Tornado hen she inhaled and blasted Tornado with her frost breath. Tornado froze as the breath washed over him. He let out a cry of anguish before he turned black and fell to the ground.                  
What did I just do?Deep Freeze thought. She just killed a dragon. It felt horrible. What did I just do!Kelp looked as terrified as she felt. He crouched low to the ground, as if he was trying to make himself smaller. 
Deep Freeze sat down. 
“Please don’t hurt me!” Kelp called to Deep Freeze, “Do whatever you want to do with me! But please don’t kill me!”
Deep Freeze looked at him, “I won’t hurt you,” she said.
Kelp looked surprised, “Aren’t you angry with me?” he asked.
“Maybe. A little. But you didn’t do anything. You just keep coming here,” Deep Freeze said. 
Kelp blinked at her, “How- how did you know that?” he said slowly.
“I guess I’m a good spy,” Deep Freeze said, smiling. 
Kelp looked shocked. He edged closer to Deep Freeze, “Who are you?” he asked in a hushed voice.
“I’m Deep Freeze. And I know your name is Kelp,” Deep Freeze said.
“Are you the hybrid Angler hates so much?” Kelp asked.
“What do you mean? I live here if that’s what you’re wondering.” Deep Freeze said, confused.
“Angler is searching for an Icewing-Seawing hybrid. He is also looking for a Seawing named Deep and an Icewing named Freeze…”Kelp trailed off, as if he just realized something.
“Those are the names of my parents! And I’m an Icewing-Seawing hybrid!” Deep Freeze cried.      
Kelp looked at her, “My orders are if I find Deep, Freeze, or the hybrid to take them to Angler. But I don’t want to! I don’t even want to work for Angler!” Kelp said. 
“Good, because if you did, you would end up like him,” Deep Freeze said, flicking her tail to Tornado. Kelp winced. 
“If you don’t want to work for Angler, why are you?” Deep Freeze asked.
Kelp growled, “My parents have always worked for him. So they made me work for him. He’s an evil dragon. Always angry with someone,” Kelp said. 
“Than just quit! You can stay with me,” Deep Freeze said, “It’s really boring around here. I’ve only left this place once.”
“Really?”Kelp asked.
“Yep. I went to town yesterday with my parents. It was awesome!”Deep Freeze said.
“Can I stay with you? I have nowhere else to go,”Kelp said.
What will Mother and Father say? “Yes. That’s fine with me,” Deep Freeze said.
Kelp smiled, “Thanks.”
“No problem,” Deep Freeze said, “I just hope I never have to do that again,” She pointed to Tornado. Then she dragged the black Skywing to the river and let him fall deep into the water.
== Chapter Three ==
“You did WHAT?!”Mother screeched. 
“Deep Freeze, how many times do we have to tell you? We can fight for you,” Father said gently which didn’t match the anger in his eyes.
“But you were gone!!!!!” Deep Freeze growled. She had told her parents about what happened. But she left out the part about her frost breath. “If only-”
“Deep Freeze! Go to your room!” Father said sternly. Kelp looked at Deep Freeze with sympathy. Deep Freeze was starting to boil up.
“FINE! I’LL GO TO MY ROOM!” Deep Freeze yelled and stormed off with Kelp following close behind.
“Wow,” he said when they got into Deep Freeze’s room, “Some parents.”
“I know!” Deep Freeze growled, “They won’t even let me tell them about my frost breath. They always send me to my room or they interrupt me.”
Kelp looked around Deep Freeze’s room as if wondering if he’d have to sleep in here. His pea green eyes looked from one place to another, “I wish I had parents like yours. Mine were worse. They where always yelling at me.” Deep Freeze raised an eye brow and he quickly added, “Like telling me about how bad I was and how I failed,”
“What happened to them?” Deep Freeze asked. 
Kelp shook his head and Deep Freeze suspected that he didn’t want to talk about it. 
“At least you’re here. It’s much better,” Deep Freeze said and Kelp smiled.
“Yeah, I’m happy too,” Kelp said, “How long have you known about your frost breath?” Kelp asked.
Deep Freeze thought for a moment, “For a long time. I don’t know how long,” she answered quietly.
They both just sat there until Father walked in. “Deep Freeze, come here please.” Father said, “Kelp, please find yourself a room. I think we have an extra.” Kelp nodded and left the room.
“Deep Freeze,” Father asked when Kelp left the room, “Did you say that Tornado was working for Angler?” he asked.
Deep Freeze nodded.
Father’s eye went wide, “Ok,” he said and left.
Uh, ok? That was confusing. Deep Freeze got up. She wanted to find Kelp. Then she heard voices. 
“Working for Angler? Oh no! We have to hide her!”
“Deep, do we really want to do that?”
Oh no. 
         “I do,” Mother said.
“What would Deep Freeze want to do, Deep? Would she like that?” asked Father. No one spoke for a while. 
“No, but it’s for her own good. We are just trying to help her,” Mother said.
No! NO! Not again! They can’t do that! Deep Freeze was panicking. She ran off to find Kelp.
He was in a nice room with blue walls. He turned when he saw her. 
“Hello. Your house is AWESOME! I can’t believe Tornado almost burned it down!”
“Mother told me she and Father built it themselves,” Deep Freeze said. 
Kelp’s mouth dropped, “What? That’s awesome!”
“Kelp! I need your help!” Deep Freeze exploded, “My parents just figured out that Angler is still out there. They want to lock me up so they can ‘protect me’! We have to do something!!!” 
“Wow. Just wow,” Kelp said. 
“Deep Freeze!” Mother called. Oh no.“Deep Freeze come here!”
Deep Freeze looked at Kelp and then started walking. Kelp followed. 
“Freezy, dear, are you sure it was Angler?” mother asked.
“I’m sure!” Kelp said.
“What does he look like?” asked Father.
“Light blue with dark blue under scales,” Kelp said.
Mother and Father looked at each other. Mother shivered, “So he is still out there,” she whispered.
“Why are you guys so worried about him?” asked Deep Freeze slowly, “What did he do?”
Mother looked deep into Deep Freeze’s eyes, “He tried to kill you,”
“Oh. Is there anything else?” Freeze Deep asked.
“Wait, Angler told me last time I saw him that he could smell you,” Kelp said to Mother, “It sounded like he knew you.”
“Because I did know him,” mother said as soft as leaves falling, 
“What?” Deep Freeze asked, “Why did you not tell me?”
“Deep Freeze, if Angler is still out there, then we better hide you,” Mother said. 
“No! I don’t want to!”Deep Freeze said. 
Father narrowed his eyes, “Deep Freeze, don’t talk back to adults. You are coming with us,”he said.
“Why? Father! I can protect myself!! Watch this!”Deep Freeze said, but before she could inhale, Father clamped her mouth shut. 
“No! You are coming with us. Stop telling lies,”Father growled.
“Freeze, she is telling the truth!”Kelp tried but Father was already dragging Deep Freeze away.
Deep Freeze got loose and dashed away. She ran to her hiding place in the bush. She put her wings over her head and tried to seem as small as she could. Deep Freeze heard voices. Mother and Father where looking for her. Deep Freeze hid until night. She crawled out of her hiding place and creeped into the house.   She went to her room and got bag with the necklace and coins. She wrapped the bag around her arm. Deep Freeze went to Kelp’s room. She shook him until he woke up.
“Oh, hi,” he whispered.
“Hi. I need to escape. Do you want to come with me?” Deep Freeze asked.
Kelp blinked, “Why?”
“I can’t go back into hiding. Mother and Father did it to me once. I was hiding for four months. It was horrible. And now that they know Angler is out there, they will definitely keep me hiding forever,” Deep Freeze said.
Kelp did not say anything for a long time. Then he nodded and they both slipped out of the house. 
“Where to?” asked Kelp.
“I don’t know. As far away as possible,” Deep Freeze said.
“Ok. I think I know a place. Follow me,” Kelp said and lifted into the air.
Deep Freeze followed him. She was leaving her home. She always wanted to do it. But even though she was full of excitement, she felt sad leaving her only home. Her parents who loved her. The river where she had grown up fishing at. And the mountains that she had looked at so many times. She was leaving it all behind her. Deep Freeze wiped away tears. Now she was going to start a new beginning. A new life that would be far different than the life she knew. 
== Chapter Four ==
Deep Freeze and Kelp found a cave in a cliffside. 
“We will stay here,” Kelp said, looking out the cave mouth. The three moons where high in the sky. One was full and the other two where slivers of silver. Deep Freeze sat down on the cold floor. But that didn’t matter. She was so tired that she instantly fell into deep sleep.
A drip from a stalactite woke Deep Freeze. She got up and shook her head. A couple of fish where laying next to Deep Freeze. She picked one up. It was a trout, Deep Freeze’s favorite. She ate it happily.
“Did I get the right type?”Kelp asked. He smiled and flashed some lights on his side. Hope you like it!
Deep Freeze concentrated for a bit. All the training ran through her head. Thanks. I did.
         “You know Aquatic,” Kelp said, shaking his wings. 
“Yeah, my mom was a Seawing. Remember?”Deep Freeze said.
“Yes, yes sorry.”Kelp said.
“Well now you know,”Deep Freeze said. She paused, “How did you figure out about this place,” Deep Freeze asked slowly. 
Kelp looked at the floor, “Um, well… I kinda come here… sometimes…”he said.
Deep Freeze nodded. Then they just sat there, looking out of the cave where the rain still poured. The clouds blocked the sun but tropical trees could still be seen. 
“Where are we? In Pyrrhia?”Deep Freeze asked.
“Well, we are close to the rainforest. I really don’t know,”Kelp said.
“The Rainwing Kingdom! WOW!”Deep Freeze said. 
Kelp titled his head, “But… you hav been living basically in the Rainforest Kingdom. You- you didn’t know that?” 
“My parents never told me anything. So no,”Deep Freeze said glumly. 
“Oh,”Kelp nodded. He turned his head towards the mouth of the cave again. It made Deep Freeze wonder. There must be something that is important here. maybe, a memory? Kelp’s green scales shimmered in the rising sun and Deep Freeze wondered what other dragons looks like in full sunlight. On the day when she went to town, it was cloudy. Today was full sun. 
“Can you tell me more about my uncle’s thing? Like, what is it called and what is he doing?” Deep Freeze asked Kelp.
Kelp turned his head, “Its called DB, Deep Blue,” Kelp explained, “Angler hates anything different. Dragons like Peril, who have to much fire and can burn anything. Or dragons with to little fire. Dragons who are fire proof,  Nightwings, animus dragons who can enchant anything to do anything, and… hybrids,” Kelp said. He shook his head, “Angler wants them all out of this world. So that everything will be the same. Its awful. And he has dragons of all different type. Skywings, Mudwings, Sandwings, you know, almost all the dragon tribes.”
“Oh,” Deep Freeze sighed, “That makes sense.” Deep Freeze knew all of those things. She had heard about them when her parents taught her.  “Do you know any fighting skills?” she asked Kelp. 
Kelp blinked, “Yeah. I do,” he said. 
“Really? Can you teach me some! I can only shoot out that frost breath. And i’m not very good at that ether,” Deep Freeze said. If only Mother and Father had taught me anything. Deep Freeze growled. 
“Sure. Stand up. Here is the first one to learn. I’ll demonstrate,” Kelp answered, smiling. Deep Freeze stood up. Kelp did a quick moment with his arm  went under her legs. Deep Freeze went to her side and Kelp flipped her onto her back and he stood on her stomach. Deep Freeze tried to get up but Kelp held her down.
“Wow! I wish I had learned that!” Deep Freeze said as Kelp jumped off of her. 
         “It is easy!”Kelp said, “Let me show you how to do it!”  
They practiced for an hour. Deep Freeze found that it was easy and she had fun doing it. Kelp said it was called Tripped.
“Do you know anymore?” Deep Freeze asked.
Kelp smiled, “Of course.” 
“Wow! I have never had so much fun in my life!!!”Deep Freeze said! They had spent the whole day fighting. 
“Yeah I guess it is fun,” Kelp said. 
Deep Freeze looked out the cave mouth. The moons where rising. It was time for sleep. 
“I’m tired. What about you?” Deep Freeze asked. 
Kelp nodded. 
Deep Freeze closed her eyes and slept dreaming about fighting off bad dragons and saving the world.               
Kelp was already up when Deep Freeze woke up. She stretched her wings and let out a sigh. Kelp turned and looked at her. 
“Good morning,” Kelp said. 
“Good morning,” Deep Freeze answered, sitting down. 
They sat down next to each other in silence. Deep Freeze wondered what would happen now. She was away from home. Her parents were probably looking for Deep Freeze. 
“So,” Kelp said, interrupting her thoughts, “What now?”
Good question. Deep Freeze was barley five. Deep Freeze guessed Kelp was as well. What would they do. 
“I-I don’t know,” Deep Freeze stammered, “Maybe… DB sounds awful. Maybe we could help dragons that are trapped or something like that.”
Kelp nodded, “Yeah, but how will we be able to get into it? You’re  a hybrid. They would capture you for sure,” he swished his tail unhappily. 
Deep Freeze knew he was hiding something. There was nothing to be afraid of. 
“Maybe we-” Deep Freeze started but she stopped. Was that voices?
Kelp heard it too. His face expression was terror, “We need to hide.”
Kelp saw a boulder and darted over to it. Deep Freeze sprinted after. The big rock had a small cave in it. It was big enough for two full grown dragons sitting side by side, wing half extended. Kelp crouched in the cave. Deep Freeze sat down. The voices came closer.
“Do you know where he went? Angler said he never came back with Tornado. Its like they… vanished,” The first voice said in a whisper. It sounded like a female.
“I have no idea. But who cares? Kelp was a wimp,” a second gruff, male voice said, “I liked Tornado though.”
“He was… odd,” the female voice said. 
The male voice grunted. A Skywing came in view. A Seawing followed. Deep Freeze backed away from the cave mouth. The SeaWing was teal with light-blue under scales. Her wings where blue. The Skywing was a copper with light red under scales. His wings were a charcoal brown.
“You think EVERONE is odd. Tell me again why we are here?” The Skywing asked, glaring around the room. 
“Trust me. If Kelp is alive… he will be here,” the seawing’s eyes turned to slits. 
Deep Freeze was starting to get uncomfortable. Something poked her. She looked at Kelp. He was slowly backing out of the cave. 
“Well? Do your thing,” the Seawing growled. 
“Fine,” the Skywing grumbled, “If I have to.” He picked up a stone. He stared at it, “Go get Tornado. Ether dead, or alive.” The stone shot up and zoomed out of the cave. 
Kelp looked at the rock. Then back at Deep Freeze. We need to get out! He mouthed. 
The black body of Tornado flew into the room. The Skywing and Seawing looked at it, eyes wide. 
Now! Kelp and Deep Freeze creeped out of the cave while The SeaWing and Skywing were distracted. 
“Look!” Deep Freeze heard a voice. Oh no. 
         Kelp twisted into a dive and went to the forest below. Deep Freeze followed, not sure how this would end. Kelp was as still as a rock. Deep Freeze sat next to him. 
“H-How is he an animus? You said Angler didn’t like animus dragons!” Deep Freeze whispered. 
“That’s Coal. He is a Skywing who works for Angler. Coal ran away from his home because he had just been discovered. Angler found him when he was only two. Angler told Coal that if he enchanted himself to be loyal to Angler forever, Angler would spare him. Angler had brought a big group to destroy this dragonet, but he didn’t know he was so little. I think he was hoping that Coal would turn into a new Peril” Kelp stopped talking as a shadow streaked across the sky. Talon prints started coming towards Kelp. He yelped and jumped back. These prints where enchanted. Deep Freeze tried to cover them up but they always came back. 
Enchanted to show where Kelp is.Deep Freeze thought with horror. 
Kelp realized It to, “Deep Freeze! Fly! Fly away now!” He yelled. 
“No! I’m not leaving you!” Deep Freeze said. 
“Over here!” Coal’s voice said. 
Deep Freeze Looked at Kelp, knowing if she stayed, she would be taken to Angler. But who would leave their friend behind. Deep Freeze realized something at that moment. Kelp was her friend.  Her first friend. And she was not leaving. 
“I’ll help you. No matter what,” Deep Freeze said to Kelp. He smiled sadly. 
“Ok,” Kelp said.  He looked around.
Deep Freeze saw a hollow log.  She darted over to it, pushed it in a way no one would see her, and creeped in. A hole in the log let her see. 
Coal and the Seawing flew up to Kelp. 
“Well ,well, well,” Coal hissed, “What do we have here?”
“What do you want?” asked Kelp. 
“Oh I don’t want you. Angler was very angry when you never came back with Tornado,” Coal threw Tornado’s body at Kelp who jumped back, “Who is dead.”
Kelp winced. He looked down at the ground, “Yeah…” 
“What happened?” The Seawing asked. She had a softer voice. 
“So it’s not obvious?” Coal whipped his head around and glared at the Seawing.
“We were attacked… by an icewing…” Kelp said. His voice was shaky
         Coal snorted, “An icewing is not this strong. Tornado is black. Like he was burned.”
“Well… it must have been a strong Icewing,” The Seawing said. 
Coal eyes turned to slits, “An icewing would not live on an island. And ice breath is not this strong,” Coal looked at Kelp, as if daring him to move, “They were attacked by an icewing hybrid. But why did they spare you?” 
Kelp looked up at Coal and then at the Seawing. A bird hoped near the dragons, pecking the ground. It looked up at the dragons as if wondering what they were doing. Then flew away, chirping a song. 
“I don’t know …” Kelp said uneasily.
“Well, you have to come back to DB. Angler wanted us to get back by sunset,” The Seawing said, looking around. 
“Teal’s right. Come on,” Coal said. He looked at Teal. She nodded and flashed at Kelp, Come. Let’s go.She flew off. Kelp sighed and followed. 
Coal stayed behind. He looked at the log. Then the log Deep Freeze was in, burst into flames.
It was a horrifying moment. Deep Freeze blew her ice everywhere to drown out the flames.  Coal jumped at the log and broke it. Deep Freeze tumbled out and Coal landed on top of her. 
“Follow me,” he said. Deep Freeze stood up. Coal walked away from her. Deep Freeze’s legs move by them self. Deep Freeze sighed and followed. Coal spread his wings and lifted off into the sky. Deep Freeze followed.  They flew over a mountain where a herd of mountain goats were grazing. Deep Freeze’s wings flapped without her command as she followed Coal. She was really starting to dislike Coal. 
Coal dived down towards a river. Deep Freeze closed her eyes as her wing went to her side and she dived after Coal. Her stomach flipped upside down and the wind ripped at her face. Coal Landed on the ground and Deep Freeze landed next to him.  Coal faced Deep Freeze and looked her over. He grunted and turned around. He walked a little forwards. Then picked up a rock.
Wind whipped around and Deep Freeze and Coal were standing in front of a stone wall. A carving of a dragon blowing fire to another dragon blowing ice was on the stone. Coal turned towards Deep Freeze. She walked closer to him. Coal turned back to the wall, and pushed it. He walked in and Deep Freeze followed. The wall closed behind them.  A big cave was behind the door. Skywings, Icewings, Seawings, and Mudwings crawled everywhere.  Coal flicked his tail and turned towards a steal door. Deep Freeze looked around. There was three stories. There was also a big hole in the roof to fly to the other stories. There was also a staircase leading to every floor for some reason.  The first stories had doors that led into sleeping caves, Deep Freeze guessed. The second story was the testing rooms. And the top floor was the office. The Building itself was very boring. The same symbol of the two dragons where on the doors. And blue bowls with blue fire lit the caverns.
Coal opened the door and pushed her inside, “You’re staying here for now,” he hissed. He whispered something and Deep Freeze felt something lift off her wings and legs. 
Coal closed the door and Deep Freeze heard something click.  Deep Freeze looked around her room.  More blue fire lit the room and everything had a blue feeling. A moss bed was in one corner and a wood table with food on it was next to it. A small window was near the door and Deep Freeze walked over to it. Coal opened his wings and lifted off to the third floor. 
“Now what?” Deep Freeze asked the wall. The blue fire whished and Deep Freeze wondered who made that fire.  It tossed its sparks as if saying, ‘Can I burn you?’
Deep Freeze lay down on the moss bed and let her eyes close. She fell asleep. 
“Wake up,” A voice growled and poked the side of Deep Freeze.  Deep Freeze groaned and looked up. Teal was looking at her. 
“What are you doing here?” Deep Freeze asked. 
“Don’t ask me. Angler wants to see you,” Teal said, “Follow me and nothing will happen to you.” 
            Deep Freeze hesitated. Why should she trust this dragon. She might lead her to a horrible place. But then again, she might be able to escape. What about Kelp though?
 Kelp! Deep Freeze hadn’t even been thinking about him!  He must be so scared! She was a horrible friend. 
“Well? Are you coming?” Teal asked. 
“Fine,” Deep Freeze grumbled.  
Teal nodded and gave a grateful smile. She opened the door and beckoned Deep Freeze to follow. Deep Freeze followed. They went out side the prison with Teal in the lead, twitching her wings every now and then, as if she wasn’t sure Deep Freeze wouldn’t lash out and strike her down.    
When Pool walked to the stairs, Deep Freeze Tilted her head. Wasn’t there a open roof so you could fly up? Why walk? Then she felt something rubbing against Deep Freeze’s wing.  She reached up to scratch her wing and felt a rope like thing on her wing. Great, just great.  They walked a flight of stairs, and another until they got to the office. Teal nocked on the door and it flung open. 
“Come… in…” A voice hissed. It made her shiver. The voice sounded similar, but she couldn’t remember who it was.  
Teal walked in and Deep Freeze followed.  The room had shelves of books and jars full of stuff Deep Freeze never wanted to figure out what it  was.  Coal was in the room sitting  in a corner. And there was the SeaWing who had come with Kelp that one night. That seemed like so long ago. Suddenly, Deep Freeze felt homesick. She wished she was with her family all snuggled up.  
“You may leave… Teal,” The SeaWing said, as if pulling Teal’s name from memory. Teal dipped her head in respect and left the room, closing the door with a creak.  
The SeaWing smiled slyly, “Welcome darling. It’s so nice to meet you. I’ve been waiting a long time to see you.” 
== Chapter Five ==
Deep Freeze glared at the blue dragon, “What do you want?” 
“Nothing darling. Why don’t I introduce myself? I am Angler. You may not know me, but maybe your Mother knows me. And your Father.  Let me give you a hint. Do you remember anything on the day you hatched?” Angler hissed and looked at her with a familiar glance. 
Memories started coming in with a tingle with animus power. A blazing day. Looking at her parents. Then a SeaWing, who look awfully a lot more like Mother than Angler.  She also remembered her mother taking her away from her hatching place. Deep Freeze had turned her head to see her Father beating the SeaWing and seeing his limp body. 
“Why did I suddenly remember that?” Deep Freeze asked. She would had never remembered that on her own. She glanced over at Coal, who look surprised. 
“You’ve met my friend, haven’t you?”  Angler asked, and flicked his tail towards Coal. 
Deep Freeze nodded. 
Angler smiled, “He’s an animus. Did he bring back any memories? Still puzzled?” Angler asked, seeing the face on Deep Freeze’s face, “Mmmmm. Are you sure?”
Deep Freeze scanned him. Angler look way to much like mother. Deep Freeze touched her bag of coins and necklace, missing mother more.
“Why do you have to look so much like my mom?” Deep Freeze asked, and Angler laughed. 
“I can answer that,” Angler said after he recovered, “We look similar because he’s my sister.” 
“WHAT?” Deep Freeze jumped up and tried to open her wings, “Don’t lie to me! TELL ME THE TRUTH!” 
“It’s true! Very true,” Angler mused, “And now that you’re here, you- WE can work TOGETHER! You can help me make DB bigger! With Coal’s help, of course!” Deep Freeze could tell Angler left out some words, “We could be a team! You and me! Uncle and niece! Won’t that be fun?”
“No! It WON’T! How will I know you won’t MAKE me do everything with you like you did to Coal?” Deep Freeze hissed. 
Coal looked at her as if to say ‘Shut your mouth! Do you want us to be killed?”and Deep Freeze gave him a friendly look. 
Angler frowned, “Coal, lead our friend back to her prison and come back when you are done.”
Coal sat up straight and stood up. He grabbed Deep Freeze’s arm, holding it firmly. His eyes look normal, just a bit blank.  Deep Freeze hissed, but Coal made no reaction. They walked back and Deep Freeze thought about her Uncle wanting to team up with her.  
Coal opened the door to Deep Freeze’s cell and pushed her in. Then he closed it again before Deep Freeze could rush out.  Deep Freeze was stuck.Deep Freeze kicked some stones and she sat down on the floor. Deep Freeze had no idea what she was supposed to do. If only she could see Kelp. Maybe blowing her frost breath at the door! 
She opened her mouth right as the door opened. Deep Freeze jumped back as Coal walked in. 
“You have to go,” He whispered in the most growly whisper she had ever heard.
“What?”
“I don’t have time to explain. All you need to know is that Kelp is waiting for you near the river,” Coal had a grumpy look, “You have to stop Deep Blue.”
“You could come with me,” Deep Freeze said to Coal, but he shook his head.
“Angler will know I have helped you soon. You have to hurry. I’ll take you to the exit but you’re on your own from there. Follow me, closely,” Coal flicked his tail and Deep Freeze followed.
Deep Freeze stayed very close to Coal. She looked around. Coal flicked his tail in a grumpy way. Hopefully this wasn’t a trick. Dragons stayed away from Coal. Everyone seemed to not want to mess with him. Coal got to the gate. It opened and he walked out. He took off the wing bands.  
“Find Kelp,” Coal grumbled as he walked back inside.
Well isn’t he helpful.  Deep Freeze thought sarcastically. Where this suppose river was, Deep Freeze didn’t know.  She walked around the forest in the shadows. Deep Freeze knew that the guards would soon find out that she was gone. Would they punish Coal? Would Angler use Coal to find them again? What was the point of running away? Hopefully Kelp has a plan. 
Deep Freeze continued walking and worrying until she heard the sound of water. Deep Freeze ran up to the water sound and found a pond a clear as glass. Deep Freeze looked up from the pond to find a green shape coming very quickly. The SeaWings collided as they happily hugged.  
“You’re okay!” Kelp cried happily. 
“Of course I am! I did have Coal’s help,” Deep Freeze smiled at Kelp. 
“Come! We have to get out of here!” Kelp said. He gave a worried look, “Coal might have helped you, but he has no control of what he does when Angler tells him what to do.”
Deep Freeze looked at Kelp, then back in the direction she had come in, “We have to stop Deep Blue. Who knows what my Uncle will do. Is there some way to take the spell off of Coal?”
“Only if you can kill Angler,” Kelp said. 
Deep Freeze nodded, “Then we need to make a plan. And a place to stay and make that plan.”
Deep Freeze looked at Kelp as if to say, ‘Have any other secret places?’
“We could go to Possibility, but that’s kind of far. What if we went to the town nearby? It’s just like Possibility!” Kelp said. Deep Freeze remembered her first trip there. She touched her pouch and wished her mother was there. 
“Okay. I have some money we could use to stay at a hotel or something. And we could get some disguises so DB won’t know it’s us,” Deep Freeze said. Or my parents.
Kelp smiled, “Then it’s settled! We go to town, get a place to stay, a figure out a way to take down Deep Blue!” 
The two dragonets soared over in the direction of the town. The water beneath them sparkled a deep aqua with a tint of green from the seaweed.  A fish jumped out and Deep Freeze noticed Kelp lick his chops like he wanted to eat it. Deep Freeze knew they would soon be close to home. She wished they could go by for a small visit. Maybe later. Maybe when they trust me.
Kelp soared closer to the water. He looked back at Deep Freeze. 
“Maybe it would be safer, and faster, to swim. You can see in the dark and breath under water, right?” he asked Deep Freeze. She could tell he wanted to swim.
“Yes, I can. Maybe you’re right. And underwater, I might look more SeaWing then hybrid,” Deep Freeze said. 
They dove under the water Deep Freeze’s small webs helped her keep up with the green SeaWing and they quickly swam in the town’s direction.  Kelp looked back a couple of times as if to make sure she was still following him. 
They were swimming when a familiar island came into view. Her home looked the same as she had left it. She stopped and Kelp turned around. 
‘You miss them, don’t you’He said in Aquatic. 
Deep Freeze nodded, ‘You think we could go for a visit? Or would they try to trap me?’
            ‘It’s your choice. We could always stop by on the way back.’ Kelp flashed back. I think if you told them what you were doing, they would be on your side.
Deep Freeze looked at the hut though the water. She couldn’t see anyone. Deep Freeze turned around.  She cocked her head. There seemed to me a figure moving near the bluest parts of the water. 
‘Do you see that?’ She asked Kelp. 
Kelp looked in the direction Deep Freeze was pointing to. There was nothing there. He looked back to Deep Freeze. It seemed like he was about to say something when his eyes went wide and he quickly grabbed Deep Freeze and moved her out of the way. 
Deep Freeze turned around. Standing in front of Deep Freeze was her mother.
