At this time, Scorpion is six years old and Snowflake, the IceWing dragonet,  is five.  Thank you ScourgeOfTheNorth for being the first dragon/scavenger to figure out Snowflake's name!  Also, sorry I haven't updated in a while.


~Scorpion

I went to an oasis city, the same one I went to every time.  As always, I sat down next to a palm tree near the pool in the center of the city.  A SandWing carrying a plethora of scrolls stumbled by, trying not to drop any.  He tripped on a rock jutting out from the ground and his scrolls scattered across the floor.  He bent down to pick them up and, when he walked away, there was one still left.  I went over and picked it up, knowing that it was for me.  The SandWing who had dropped it was my employer, often giving me new assignments: assassinations, dragonnappings, heists, you name it!  The note read:

"Scorpion, as always, I have a new assignment for you.  The next time that one of the moons is full, an IceWing troupe will arrive in the Scorpion den.  One of them, a female with pure white scales, is your target.  She is the oldest granddaughter of the IceWing queen, so she is very well protected, but you shouldn't have a problem dragonnapping her.  Bring her to the normal spot five days after she arrives."

'The normal spot' means a compound that can only be accessed by three types of people: guards, the main dragons (including my employer), and suppliers (which includes dragons like me, who do the actual work).
