CURRENT IC SEASON - Winter
The day was freezing cold, as smoke, ash, and fog blanketed the air; and in this kind of scenario, you could not see more then a foot in front of your nose. Boating through this was treacherous; flying in it was just plain unheard of. And yet, through the gray smog flew a purple deadly nadder; atop her back were two young girls. Siting up front was Fern, behind her was her newly found friend; Spitnose. Yet doing this for her was questioning her every instinct. And she could have sworn there had been an almost evil glint in her last tones, when she had thought to go to this island.
Just how well did she know this girl? Not hardly! And yet here she was, going to Dragon Island for her; the most dangerous, unforgiving island this side of the blasted sea. Shivering in the cold, Fern tightened her grip on the saddle, holding the reins in one hand. It was in this kind of weather that one most solely rely on their dragon, for only a dragon knew the way to Dragon Island. And this smog was exactly why; it surrounded the island, spreading for miles. A human boat could get easily lost or attacked, but a dragon knew the way.
Suddenly Nima's eyes became slits, her body stiffened beneath Fern. "What is it girl?" Fern asked, concerned, as she reached down to pat her. But her dragon flicked her away, shaking her head and flew faster into the depths. Suddenly a horde of dragons came from the fog, all heading in one direction. It seemed that even now, all these years after the queens death, the dragons still nested here. But why did they keep coming back? Was there some old instinct drawing them back to the island? Or had a new dragon taken command of the island, driving them to bring it food; or be eaten themselves?
