Chapter 1, It begins:
Dragons from all around the worlds and beyond gathered to dragon city, for the anual feistival.They all gathered there for one purpuse: to find their mate and gather their eggs with the other dragons eggs, so that more dragons could be born.
Eliza walked beside her mate Zap, their tails intwined and their eyes sparkled with joy." oh, I can't wait for our lil' babies to be born! how many eggs do you think we'll have?" Eliza asked, her soft voice filled with joy.
"not shure dear, I guess we'll find out when the time comes." Zap replied with a chuckle.
Later that evening, Zap set off to get some food, while Eliza joined the other dragoness' in the egg room. five minites later, there was an ear splitting scream. Frantic, Zap rushed to the scream, reconizing it as his beloved mate Eliza's voice. when he got to the room, he saw her. In her nest, were 6 eggs. but there was something wrong. The final egg, was black as the night sky. The elders rushed to the sene, staring at the egg in shock.
" my egg, my poor lil' egg.... its dark!" Eliza said, her voice weak, and her body trembled in fear.
the elders talked to eachother for a moment, then Volteer spoke up.
"the fate of the egg is undecided. for all we know, it could just be a normal egg. for now we must wait. but if it becomes a hatchling, and is evil, I'm afraid we'll have to use a seal, and send it away" he said, his voice firm yet understanding.
Eliza sobbed, huddling her eggs. "its going to be ok" Zap whispered softly. "its going to be ok"
5 months later...
slowly, the eggs ave all the dragons started hatching one by one, little hatchling taking their first steps into the world. Elize waited, first, her blue egg hatched, and a small blue dragon came out. next, came a light pink egg, from which a pink dragoness egerly came out. a few minites later, her green egg hatched, and a forest green dragon came out. next was a yellow egg, and a yellow with blue lighting bolts dragon came out. then came the 5th egg, and an orange dragoness poped up from the shell of her egg. Then finaly, all that was left was the black egg. Slowly, it wiggled. The family was hushed. slowly, the egg cracked, and up from it came a small dragoness. The who room, including the elders gasped. The dragoness was magenta colored, but her eyes were red, her horns and tail spikes blood red. her claws shined white, her belly & wing flaps were dark orange. part of her wing was made of bone, that clearly showed. The lil' dragon looked up at Volteer, and sensed his shock and fear of her. Instinctivly, she hissed at him, causing him to jump back.
"quick, the seal!" Volteer shouted to Terrador. Terrador tossed him the book, And Volteer read off the ancient words. The dragoness hatchling screached, the red horn on her forehead dissapering, and instead a white dimond shape took its place. Her scales turned slightly purple, ehr red horns turned white, her red eyes became blue, her red tail spikes became small and white. the bones on her wings dissapered, her belly and wing flaps turned violet. the flame mark on her cheek turned into small, yellow diamond shapes. Exausted, she collapesd, fading unconciousness.
Zap looked to Eliza, who was crying. "my poor baby! she's hurt!"
Zap nuzzled her. "Its ok" he said softly. He turned, seeing volteer suddenly pick up the hatchling. "wait, where are you taking her!?!" he demanded.
Volteer turned to him, breathing in a sigh. "I'm sorry, but being here puts both her, you, and all the rest of us in danger. She shall be taken to a small dragon family that has wanted a hatchling of their own anyway. I can't tell you where they live. I'm sorry, but I'm afrain you cannot see you hatchling ever again". and with that, he and the rest of the elders flew off, to the Vally of avalar, but Zap and the others didn't know that. A few hours later, he arrived, where a adult, pink dragoness was waiting. He droped the hatchling gently in front of her.
"remember, she is not to have contact with anyone in dragon city, nor go there, Dardra"
"yes I understand" Dardra nodded, looking at the little hatchling that layed there. she bent down to the hatchling's head, and softly whispered, "I think I'll call you Ice Shard". As the elders flew back to dragon city, Dardra picked Ice Shard up, and carried her into the cave, where her family was waiting...
