Lynx says that she is worried about her and mentions how the only dragons Snowfall talks to nowadays are "old, bossy, and kind of mean." Snowfall brags about how she has been prepared for being queen her whole life and Lynx says that she did not expect her to be queen for at least a couple decades. Lynx appears from the tree of light and Snowfall asks if she was spying on her, being surprised when Lynx jokingly confirms that she was.
She orders the dragon to show themselves, preparing to use her frostbreath on them. Snowfall then hears a noise in the courtyard and realizes that someone is watching her. She remembers how Tundra and Narwhal used to be second-in-command to Glacier and that Tundra hates having to bow to her niece. Tundra questions how little she reordered the names and Snowfall orders her to go away, wanting to move on to dealing with the mysterious dragons as soon as possible. Snowfall puts on her crown and moves a couple names around, such as Hailstorm and Permafrost. She mentions how she thought the gift of order was a good thing for the kingdom, but she realized that it is more an act of twisted revenge rather than a gift at all and hates how she has to move names every single night. Snowfall thinks about her experiences of being queen and, after what she lost in order to get it, finds it to be her least favorite thing in the world. After telling the scout to look again, Tundra shows up and informs Snowfall that it is time to rearrange the names on the gift of order. She ponders about numerous possibilities, such as if Darkstalker is not gone after all and if it is a group of RainWings flying towards them. She demands the scout who reported the sighting to her if he is sure that it is not NightWings and he responds that no black dragons have been spotted. Snowfall hears about a group of dragons flying towards her kingdom. Knowing it cannot read his thoughts, he retains hope that Cricket and Sundew found their way over to the Distant Kingdoms and found Luna, and will come back to rescue him and Blue. He saw Blue asleep and as soon as he went to wake him up, the othermind took over Swordtail's mind again, intentionally thwarting his attempt to reunite with his friend. Swordtail woke up and remembered the events of the past day, along with how the two armies at the river had burned the Poison Jungle and how he had been looking for Cricket while under the control of the othermind, but was unable to find her. The prologue is set a few days after the LeafWings and some of the SilkWings fled Pantala. "I'm worrying about it right now!"Īnd for the Pyrrhia-Pantala AU, with hugs and awe for all your amazing dragons. "We can't worry about that until it actually happens," Lynx said. "What if they have extra-murdery superpowers we've never even thought of?" Snowfall wanted to drop a mountain on her. "Unless it is real, and we're about to get hundreds of visitors to prove it!" Lynx was nearly dancing on her claws. "The lost continent isn't real!" Snowfall cried.
Maybe she can only keep her tribe safe … if she's willing to risk everything. But as she escorts the miserable new tribes out of her kingdom, the young queen is forced to reconsider her plan. The foreigners are completely strange and, Snowfall is certain, utterly untrustworthy.
Perfect, that is, until a storm of unidentified dragons flies in from the ocean, looking for asylum. It's a perfect and simple plan, backed up by the Ice Cliff wall and every bit of IceWing magic Snowfall can gather. All she has to do is keep her tribe within IceWing territory, where it's safe - while keeping every other tribe out, where they belong. Snowfall didn't expect to be queen of the IceWings at such a young age, but now that she is, she's going to be the best queen ever.
