War can get pretty repetitive. Battle after battle. Kill after kill. Life after life. Especially when you can practically kill a dragon with the touch of a claw.
The first battle, was terrible. The screams of dying soldiers still echoed in her ears. The images of lifeless bodies plummeting to the ground still flashed before her eyes.
The stinging pain that slashed through her under belly as dragons trying to fight back, still rippled through her body.
But now, she was immune to it. The ear piercing screams were now just everyday sounds like the wind rustling through the trees. The hundreds of bodies on the battlefield were no more than just every sights. The stinging pain was no more than numbness coursing through her veins.
Yet still, the thought of taking lives that only want the same thing she does eats at her very being. Every battle, the thought of her not coming back seemed more and more plausible.
"Frostbite you coming?" Said a familiar voice.
"Oh yeah sorry for the hold up!" Frostbite called before following another icewing out of camp.
Frostbite took off right behind her, soaring through the clouds. It was a relief to be in the sky where it wasn't as hot as the scorching sands. Even though they weren't fully in the desert yet, the sweltering heat was still practically melting her scales. Even being under a tent is hot. Frostbite couldn't understand how Sandwings could live in a place like that.
"So uh where are we going?" Frostbite asked, flying right beside the other Icewing.
"Weeeellll, I thought maybe we could stop by Possibility and meet up with some friends," she said.
"Aww come on Snowshoe. You just wanna see Tern again," she smirked.
"That's n-not the only reason... I uh... Also want you to meet some dragons from the other camps." Snowshoe said.
"Yeah suuuurrreee."
"No it's true!"
.
After a couple hours of flying, the city of possibility was visible. Snowshoe nodded at Frostbite and the two begin their descent. At the entrance, dragons could be seen waiting for them. There were three Icewings, a Sandwing and a Seawing.
The two landed in front of the group, and one of the Icewings, Arctic Tern, walked up to hug Snowshoe.
"So uh Snow... You gonna introduce me to everyone or not?" Frostbite said, catching Snowshoe off gaurd.
"Oh, yeah right..." she said, pulling away from Tern, "This here's Tern, you guys have met before."
"And he has a huge thing for Snow," the Sandwing snickered, causing Tern to kick him.
Snow rolled her eyes before moving on to the others, "The annoying one's Rattlesnake. He can be a real downpour sometimes."
"Hhheeeeeyyyy!!!" Rattlesnake hissed.
"It's tr tee tue!" Smirked a light blue Icewing.
"The blue one is Alaska. He's super smart and he likes guys," Snowshoe continued.
"Wai- you know what I'm not gonna even argue," Alaska said.
"The greyish blue one that doesn't talk much is Icecap. She's really shy." Snow nodded towards the Icewing hiding behind Alaska, "And the Seawing is Seafoam. She's super chill."
Frostbite looked at everyone and noticed that no matter how nice or chill they seemed, they all had battle scars of their own. Even Icecap had a jagged scar running along her chin. They all right in the war just like she does.
"And this everyone, is Frostbite. She's like super hardcore and is one of the top soldiers in our camp," Snowshoe said proudly.
"That's uh, really cool. You kno-" Rattlesnake said before being kicked by Alaska, "Oww!"
"Woah really?" Seafoam asked in awe.
"Don't mind me but... You barely have any scars," Alaska said, "If you're fighting in the war just like you claim, shouldn't you have more scars?"
"Well I-"
"Ooo! Frostbite show them you're bracelet thingies!!" Snowshoe interrupted .
"They aren't bracelets," Frostbite hissed as she pulled out her wristbands.
"Woah what are those?" Rattlesnake asked.
"They have a strange aura around them like they're... they're," Alaska paused with a puzzled look, "They're animus touched!"
"How'd you get your hands on something like that?! What can they do!?" Tern asked.
"A friend enchanted them for me so I can freeze all of my enemies instantly with the touch of a claw," Frostbite said maliciously, "Well except Nightwings. They suffer a little bit more."
"That's why you have no battle scars! You could practically fight off an entire army on you're own!" Alaska said.
"Yeah I guess I could."
"That's really cool. Fits your name perfectly. If you'd like to-"
"Rattlesnake," Seafoam said before kicking him.
"OOWWW will YOU GUYS STAP?!" Rattlesnake cried causing everyone to laugh.
However their laughter was interrupted when an army of Nightwings were flying towards the Kingdom of Ice.
"Their attacking our camp!" Seafoam cried.
