We travelled for 3 weeks. The forest was so much bigger than we thought. We couldn't fly over the forest because there was some sort of fog.
We watched as a bird had flown up to it. A few minutes later the same bird fell from the sky dead. We decided to go through the forest.
We flew through the forest till nightfall. We landed in a little clearing and while Briggen went to hunt Aradace helped me light a small fire.
Blueblood kept watch. Every since I got kidnapped Blueblood really hasn't left my side. I wasn't complaining though. I felt a sudden excitement and I knew I must have been feeling Briggen's excitement for making the kill.
I smiled and waited a few minutes and we all watched as Briggen proudly flew back with a two huge deer. One was in his claws and another was in his mouth.
We cheered for Briggen and Aradace congratulated Briggen in the ways she knew would make him even more happy. Briggen and Aradace ate together with their tails entwined and their heads close together.
Me and Blueblood cooked a part of the deer and then packed up the rest of the deer for later. We ate in silence and when we were done Blueblood grabbed me and gently placed me on his lap.
I rested my head on his shoulder and for a long time we talked about dragons and our plan.
Then Blueblood asked "What about a family?" I blushed and said "I would love a family."
Blueblood smiled and I said "I want a little baby boy." Blueblood laughed and said "Well I want a little angel girl." I laughed and said "Okay, but I still want a boy." Blueblood said "If we have a girl first then we'll try for a boy.
And it'll work the other way around, deal? I laughed and held up my pinky finger.
He chuckled softly and wrapped his bigger pinky finger around my smaller one. I smiled and fell asleep dreaming about our family.
I woke early the next morning. It was dawn and I watched as the sky turned a soft coral color to a beautiful baby blue.
I was still wrapped in Blueblood arms and I slowly pried myself away. I poked the fire a little and tried to get it going again.
Once I got a small flame I sat down and watched. I watched little creatures wake up and scuttle around. I watched how Blueblood slept.
I even watched Briggen and Aradace sleep together. Briggen was pressed against Aradace and had a wing over her.
I smiled softly. I was perfectly content. I closed my eyes for a moment and when I opened my eyes I stood up very fast.
Startled I turned around two or three times because, suddenly I wasn't in the clearing with my dragon or Blueblood. I was again in the middle of a snowy tundra. I looked around. Nothing.
I ran for a long time in one direction. I reached a huge completely white lake. I looked down into what I though would be water but I found that it was a huge layer of Ice.
I was freezing. I needed warmth. I needed Aradace. I looked around again. I saw a form moving. At first I though it was Briggen but when it got closer I saw it was definitely not Briggen.
I turned and ran. The thing was faster. I turned in time so see the Dragons claws wrap around me....
I opened my eyes with a start.
I screamed at the top of my lungs because I though the dragon still had me because their were claws around me. Then I heard a voice.
It was Blueblood he said "Lily! Lily, calm down, it's okay, Lily it's just Aradace!" I stopped screaming. I looked around and saw that Aradace was holding me still and that I was now very close to a huge fire.
I stopped struggling and let Aradace sit up and pull me close to her. I was pressed against her beating heart.
Her gigantic magnificent wings closed over me and I was engulfed in red and black. Her head came through a gap. She said in a hushed voice. "Lily, why were you screaming?
You were about to run full tilt into the fire. I was scared for you." I frowned and told Aradace my vision. I also reminded her of my first snowy tundra vision when I met that dragon.
Me and Aradace talked for a while. It was more of her trying to tell me that she will protect me. I smiled and when I finally said "I know you'll protect me.
In just scared I'll lose you. Iv'e been alone in both visions what if I do lose you... I trust you I promise, it's just hard to know I might lose you on this journey." Aradace nodded and said "I know but if I do lose you, I'll hunt down every man, every dragon till I find you.
I will burn down and melt that whole tundra till I find you. I need you. We won't be apart for too long." I nodded and she unfurled her wings.
We were met with a worried dragon and a worried Blueblood. Blueblood wrapped his arms around me while I heard Briggen's worried voice telling me he promises no harm will come to me. I smiled at both of them and just nodded and agreed.
Me and Aradace knew that maybe on one part of this journey we might get separated. I got on Aradace and Blueblood hopped on Briggen. We took off low and flew through the very tall trees.
For 2 weeks we flew through the trees. We would find dry clearings every once in a while and we would set up camp there.
Most of the forest was made up of swamp with trees growing out of the water. We had fun too. We would play games and sometimes we would have competitions.
Who could fly in the weirdest position. Or who could fly standing up the longest. We did anything we could to make sure we weren't bored.
At the start of the 3rd week of flying through the forest we finally made it to the edge of the woods. We saw the river a few meters from where We flew out.
We made our way over and since it was just about 4 hours after dawn we continued on our way to the frost lake. By the afternoon it was slowly starting to get colder.
I looked around. We were flying close to the ground following the wide river. I could see flurries in the air and I knew we had to find shelter quickly before the blizzard hit.
I looked ahead. I saw a huge patch of white. I got excited and I turned to Blueblood, "Hey, I think I see the frost lake!" he turned to look and nodded his head he said back "Yeah! Maybe we can find a little bit of shelter.
I feel a blizzard is forming." I nodded back to him and I told Aradace to go faster and fly fast towards the lake.
When we finally got to the lake I looked around as Briggen and Aradace hovered. It was stunning. There were white trees and there was the lake. The lake was covered with a thick sheen of ice.
The ice was so polished it looked like glass. I smiled as Aradace touched down. I got off of her and looked around.
The grass crunched because of the frost. We walked forward and I spotted a place where we could sleep. It was a little cave under a huge white tree. I walked towards it with Aradace by my side.
We got to the cave and Aradace curled up and Briggen laid down next to her shielding her from the cold wind. Me and Blueblood laid down near the two dragons. We watched as the blizzard formed.
When it started to get dark we took our the deer and me and Blueblood took part of the leg to eat and When we stored the other leg we gave the rest of the deer to the dragons so they didn't get too hungry till the blizzard ended.
Who knew how long it would take. Me and Blueblood slept next to the dragons for heat and me and Blueblood fell asleep only a few minutes after settling down. I didn't dream at all.
I woke up late. The blizzard had stopped and everything was buried including us. I sat up and when I did Blueblood woke. He sat up blearily and rubbed his eyes.
We looked towards the opening. Well where the opening should have been. We stood up and walked over. I woke Aradace and she woke up Briggen. Together Briggen and Aradace blew fire that melted a tunnel through the snow. On top of that snow there had been a layer of thick Ice. It was harder to melt then the snow.
But the frost melted almost instantly. When we got out it was still a little windy but not as bad. We let Briggen and Aradace stretch out their wings and then we got on them and flew.
I said to Aradace "I wonder what we will find when we reach the tundra. Do you think their will be people or tribes there?" Aradace said "Yes, I think there will be because of your vision. I don't think that they will be perfectly happy to see us like the water dragons and the forest dragons.
Maybe the ice dragons hearts have been frozen too."
I though about this for a while. "Well, maybe I can convince them that there is still good." Aradace said "Well, be careful, the hardest part about being Queen is that not everyone holds you dear to their hearts." +
