He was panicking. His mother was being attacked, and there were literally a million Ice Dragons hovering above them. He didn't know what to do, he didn't want to see his family die. Oh why did his mom leave the cave. Why.

Without thinking he shot outside of the cave, darting in the opposite direction to avoid being seen. He had an idea, he just hoped it worked. Maybe those Ice Dragons would think he was just one of them. Wait- he was too tiny. Gahh, whatever- just do it for them. Do it for them.

"Hey do you see that?" A Sea Dragon asked.

"What? Where?" Another asked, climbing on top of his friend.

"It's coming this way," the first spoke.

Storm crash landed into the sand, his wibgs flailed out about the ground.

"ICE DRAGON!" A Sea Dragon shrieked, pointing at Storm. A small crowd had come to observe him.

"An Ice Dragon in the Sea Kingdom?"

"Look how pretty his scales are."

"He kinda looks like an Air Dragon."

"Shut up Dolphin."

So many comments at once. Storm rubbed his head, standing up and shaking the sand off. He gazed around at the group of Sea Dragons. They looked like they didn't want to hurt him, they were just overtly curious.

"Help!" Storm blurted out, the Sea Dragons stared at him. "I need help!"

"What's wrong?" A Sea Dragon in the front asked, his face held sincerity.

"There's Ice Dragons here!" Storm yelped.

"Well, besides you?" Another said confused.

"No, they're attacking my family! Please-" he urged.

"What do you mean little guy?" Someone asked.

"There was an Earth Dragon, and an Ice Dragon, and he tackled my dad- and now there's more Ice Dragons," Storm pointed toward his home.

Little glints of Ice Dragon scales scattered the sky. Sea Dragons squinted and some slowly sank into the water, afraid of what they saw.

"We need the patrols!"

"Ice Dragons are in the territory!"

"What if he brought them here!"

"Where are the guards?"

A Sea Dragon came, dragging a guard with her and pointing toward the bay between the Earth Kingdom and Sky Islands. Sea Dragons swam out of the water, overhearing commotion. The area soon crowded, and more and more guards filled the beach. Storm's body shook, he didn't know if he did the right thing.

"Ma'am, we don't have orders from an offical to attack." A guard talked to a concerned Sea Dragon.

"The General!" Someone shouted, and the Sea Dragons parted aside. Storm stood in his place, quivering and backing up.

"Now you do," a larger Sea Dragon with a rough voice said, growling to the guard.

"How did you manage to get here so fast?" A young Sea Dragon asked.

"Aquatic Patrols see everything before Land Patrols do," the general nodded, and the guards left the beach toward Storm's home. "And no way we're letting war come on Sea Dragon territory. " He hissed, running off along the sand.

Storm shot into the air, following the parade of Sea Dragons.

"Wait! He's leaving!" A Sea Dragon hollered at Storm.

He gazed at the beach, the Rock Dragon who saved his mother was being attacked by three different Ice Dragons. He felt bad for the stranger. His dad zipped along the air, and his mother was protecting his sister. Oh my gosh Melody- he hadn't seen Melody since her birthday. But..she looked terrible. Storm couldn't see where Harmony was, and that Ice Dragon who trailed the Rock Dragon was trying to get to Melody. Storm hoveref in the air, holding his breathe as he watched the Sea Dragons meet the Ice Dragons.

"Ice Dragons," the General's voice boomed from the beach. "Leave Sea Dragon territory."

Storm saw the Ice Dragons slowly stop and stare. A large Ice Dragon a little bit bigger than the General came from the 20 dragons. He had indigo hair and speckles like his mother did. He fluttered toward the ground and stood over the Sea Dragon.

"My my, I haven't seen you in a while.." the Ice Dragon said cunningly.

"Peak," the General hissed.

"Yes, hello Delta," he smirked, pacing in front of Delta. "It's been long hasn't it?" He said observing his talons.

"DELTA," Storm heard his dad yell, but he was dragged by two Ice Dragons and held in place.

"Leave the territory at once," Delta narrowed his eyes.

"So you gave up on healing and went into the military?" Peak said laughing. "You're so small."

Delta's expression didn't change, but he stood his ground, glaring at the Ice Dragon with purple wings.

"PEAK, LEAVE HIM ALONE. DON'T DO THIS," Storm heard his mother scream as Ice Dragons held her back as well. Her own kind, trying to kill her.

"We'll just be taking what's ours and leaving," Peak said still pacing.

"You will leave them here," Delta said, taking a step forward.

"We wouldn't want to cause trouble," Peak said slyly.

"You already have," Delta growled.

There was a tense pause. Peak gave off a low growl, looking around. Sea Dragons had lined the sand, and who knew how many were under the water at this moment.

"If you refuse to leave we are forced to charge. You are calling war on Sea Dragons, and we will not hesitate to attack," The General yelled.

"RAGH," Peak roared. "DEAL'S OFF, TAKE THE EGG AND TAKE THE PRISONERS." The Ice Dragons scattered and scooped up his family. Her sister and the Ice Dragon from before were holding claws. Dragons swarmed the area yanked the two apart. He heard his mother shriek and blast some Ice, only to be taken by three more Ice Dragons.

Sea Dragons had rushed along the beach and others leapt out of the water, nabbing onto wings and tails, hissing poison at them. His father was taken away and they'd begun to fly toward the mountains. The Rock Dragon's roar could be heard from miles away, but they had trouble getting him to stay still. One Dragon shot a dart at him, he camoflauged into the sand and materialized closer to the forest, only to get shot by another dart. Storm watched as he yanked the dart out and slashed another Ice Dragon. A second dart was shot onto his shoulder, and at that point he slowed and plummeted toward the ground.

His family was being taken away from him. First his sister, now everyone else.

What was he going to do.

     How long had it been? Six days? Six days since she's been here. Six. He was being stupid, he knew. Infultrating Mellowbrook camp at this time? He was asking for it. His training as a scout should help though, he hoped.

     The sun had slowly risen in the east and procrasted its light on the vast canopy of leaves. Frostbite took his same route, edging around the front desk. It was still early enough so dragons weren't awake. Good, it meant he could still get the evidence. The books looked like they hadn't been touched since he scavanged the office two days before. His eyes darted back and forth, checking for any wandering dragons. No one. He silently slid under the desk and dug around the back, someone had moved the books around. He needed to find the same year.

     He glazed his eyes around corners, up on shelves, under desks and along the walls, he had no clur where the book went. He waa running against the sun, which was steadily rising in the horizon. He was digging through a shelf in the back when he caught a glimpse of something. He arched his head toward the main desk and peeked outside. Still no one. He glanced at a small stack of books underneathe the desk and found the ones he had moved two daya before. Bingo.

     He lightly grasped the book he needed in his talons, opening the pages to find the same dragons he saw before. He wondered who these dragons were, or who they used to be. He skimmed his eyes over so many missing dragons, removing them all and keeping on Calcite and Storm. How did this institution manage to incorporate all dragons? How did Melody's parents meet? Was it the camp or them that caused them to leave? Could the beginning of the war be the answer?

     Calcite. It sounded like such an elegant name. And Storm, it sounded strong and chaotic, but from his reputation, also calm and recollected. He wondered how they managed to do it. How did they manage to survive all odds? Two entire kingdoms working against them. It was incredible how they survived. He closed the book and took time to observe the cover.

     "Now to destroy this thing," he said holding it tightly.

     "Well well well," a voice said. Frostbite felt like he'd heard that voice before, but he couldn't remember from where.

     A large dragon loomed his head over the desk He stood on the outside and laid his talons on the stone, scraping them creating streaks. He had metal around his wrists, those were only for soldiers or guards. He had either taken them or they were given. He had deep indigo spikes and pale purple wings. The Ice Dragon gave a menacing toothy grin.

    "What's there to hide Frostbite?" The dragon asked stepping over the desk and into the room.

     "Nothing-" Frostbite said trying to toss the book like he didn't care for it, but before he knew it it was swatted out from his claws. "Hey!"

     "Hmm," the Ice Dragon flipped through the pages, finding a certain page. "Calcite, Calcite, Calcite. You've evaded me for so long," he sighed. He stopped on Calcite's description, then paused, looking at a yellow page that had stuck out from the book.

     "WAIT," Frostbite tried grasping the book, but the Ice Dragon darted outside and glided into the air, hovering while reading the book. Frostbite tripped over the desk.

     "Storm huh?" The Ice Dragon's eyes lit with fury. "I thought he was dead." He hissed.

     "Give the book back, or else-" Frostbite yelled.

     "Or else what, you'll hurt me?" The Ice Dragon laughed. "The Queen will be pleased with this information, thank you for doing the work kid." He sneered and flew off.

     Frostbite stood up, ran, and darted into the sky. He needed to get back to the Ice Kingdom before it was too late.

     He needed to save Melody.
