• Legend of the Frost Fury •
The story of the three queens of Wattpadia

Gemma, I'm using you and Shady as characters. Hope you don't mind XD

~•>❅<•~

A ice-covered black egg floated in a swirling cocoon of snow and glowing lights.

Hidden in a mirror dimension, the egg had been there for twelve years, alone and ignored.

Now, it was finally hatching.

It glowed a silvery blue as the small creature within tried its hardest to escape.

With a CRACK, the shell began to fracture, allowing icy mist to hiss out, filling the air with a chill.

The egg finally cracked down the middle, allowing the face of the tiny black dragon within to poke out.

It extended its wings, shattering the frost-coated black eggshell covering the rest of its body.

The tiny dragon blinked its huge blue eyes, changing their color to brown, and sneezed a tiny, adorable sneeze.

It chirped, trying to get someone's help, but nobody came.

It chirped again, louder, finally attracting the attention of a djur manisska- a shapeshifter. A fox shapeshifter to be precise. She heard its cry through the fabric of the Storyverse, and followed the sound to its source - a mirror dimension.

The vixen mustered her magic, readying it to break into the mirror and free the creature trapped within.

*BREAKING GLASS*

She entered the pocket dimension - for once the mirror was shattered, it was merely a pocket dimension - and found the tiny baby dragon curled up in the middle of the room, wrapped up in its wings.

She chirped at it and it looked at her, before chirping back, seemingly glad to see her.

The vixen shifted back into her human form so she could speak to the dragon.

"Hello little one. My name is Gemma, I'm one of the princesses of Wattpadia. I don't see your family anywhere, would you like to come home with me?" Gemma asked.

The tiny dragon nodded, seemingly much more intelligent than you would expect from a newly hatched creature. It didn't surprise Gemma though, as the Storyverse was an odd and magical place. Anything could happen.

She walked over to the dragonet, and scooped it up, before walking back into the Storyverse to find the way back home.

~•>❅<•~

The dragonet had fallen asleep in her arms, but as they neared the palace, it awoke, and made a small sound similar to an oooh.

"Yes, that is where we're going little one. That is the Palace of Stories, a place of great magical power. It's my home, and if you are okay with it, it can be your home too," Gemma said.

"Gemma, Gemma, Gemma!!!" A young girl called as she ran over towards Gemma.

"Oh, hello Shady. How are you?"

"I'm fine, what are you carrying? Is it a baby dragon? Can I touch it?"

"Yes, it is, and you can't touch it without its permission. It's very intelligent, all dragons are, even as babies."

"Where did you find it?"

"I heard it crying and followed the sound to find this little one trapped in a mirror dimension."

"Oh, poor thing!"

*No mowe miwwor. Miwwor lonely sad scawy.*

"Did... did it just speak?"

"I believe it did, many dragons are known for their 'gift of tongues' which is accomplished through telepathy, as their tongues and vocal cords are unable to reach the range required to speak English and most other languages."

*not it! she!*

"Well, now we know your gender. Do you have a name little one?"

*name... don't know. can't wemembwr*

"Do you know what you are, or anything about your family?"

*mama... mama key-oh-nuh. papa... don't know. am fwost fuwy.*

"So... your mother is Khione, and you don't know your father. And you are a Frost Fury."

The tiny dragonet nodded her head.

"Gemma, let's take her inside, people are looking at us like we're crazy."

"Okay Shady. Let's go to my room."

~•>❅<•~

The trio quickly headed to Gemma's room. On their way, they were stopped by Gemma's mother, and Shady's adopted mother, the queen.

"Hello girls! Oh, who is this? Hello little one. Have you a name?"

*no, no, no name. mama is key-ohne. mama left me...*

The tiny dragonet began to whimper.

"Girls, we are going to take our guest on a tour of the palace. She will be staying with us. As we don't know her name, for now... let's call her Snow, as her mother is the goddess of ice."

"Are you okay with that little one?" Gemma asked.

*yes. that a good name"

"Well, girls, now that we've gotten Snow's name sorted out, let's tour the castle."

"Okay mum!"

"Yes mom!"

The newly named Snow hopped out of Gemma's arms and glided to the floor to explore.

She smelled something yummy and began to scamper down the hallway towards the smell, chirruping excitedly.

*food! smell good!*

"Well, seems like we're eating supper now. I suppose it is about time though."

~•>❅❄️❅<•~

Two(ish) years later...

*Shady? Shady, where are you? Gemma, help me look for Shady!*

"I am looking, she's not in the main area of the castle, Snow."

*Well, we need to find her.*

"I hope that we will... but I don't know where she could be if she's not in the castle."

*Well, maybe she went to visit mother in the hospital? We haven't been able to visit her, perhaps she decided to sneak in? I'll go check, I can't catch whatever illness it is, as I'm immune to your human illnesses, so I'll go see if she's there.*

"Okay Snow. Be careful, alright? I don't want you knocking anything over with your tail."

*I will!*

And with that, Snow scampered off to the hospital, where she found Shady crying her eyes out next to the queen.

*Shady? What's going on? Are you okay? Is the queen okay?*

"T-t-the queen is dead," Shady said, tears dripping down her cheeks. "She told me to tell you that she loves you like her own daughter, and to tell Gemma that she loves her and to continue training with her magic."

*Oh no...*

And Snow began to keen, a terribly sad sound of loss, as tears dripped down her scales to the edges where they froze.

A few moments later, Gemma came running in as a fox, and the moment she saw the two other girls crying, she curled up into a small ball with her tail wrapped around her, and began to cry too, knowing what had happened.

Shortly after Gemma ran in, a pair of royal guards raced in after her, and seeing the trio crying over their mother, one of them left to inform the populace and the other help Shady to get to her feet, scooped up Gemma, and managed to get Snow to come to her feet and follow them.

The guard walked the girls to the throne room, where a short, slim woman waited for them. Shady took Gemma from the guard and set her down before quietly whispering in her ear to get her to shift back to her human form, while Snow simply continued to keen, too saddened by the loss of her mother figure to think coherently.

With all of the girls there, at least physically - poor Snow and Gemma were both utterly devastated, as neither of them had lost anyone before. Shady had lost her entire family and had been taken in by the queen when she was six, so she could at least manage to keep herself together long enough to learn what was going to happen next.
