I soared through the icy landscape.
Faster! Faster! I gotta be faster than my prey! I must go faster!!
I saw a blur of white in front of me, running for its life.
But it's too late. I made a sharp drop and sank my fangs into the polar bear.
I grinned. Finally! I've been chasing this guy for 2 hours! TWO BORING HOURS!! My first hunt!

I looked up and saw Mother nod her head in approval. I smiled and flew up to her, forgetting my prey.
"Mom! Mom! I did it!" I cheered. I grabbed my pendent and made a little thank you prayer. I got that pendent on the day I was born. I was said to never take it off.
Mother gave me a stern look. That's when I turned around and saw that MY prey got stolen by a different IceWing. I RECOGNIZE that IceWing! And that's really surprising, cause I never remember anything, which explains why I'm stuck near the bottom of the rankings.
Glacia! It's her again! That show off! She's the one that STOLEN MY Polar bear! She's always like this! Stealing others catch! Pretending she's hero! Stealing MY ranking spot at number 1 and MY Polar bear!
Mother saw me glaring at Glacia and gave me a look, "Clover! What's rule number three in hunting?"
Hey! How do you expect me to remember! I'm just a normal IceWing! That has memory loss!
But I magically by the power of the three moons remembered, "It is to always keep your eyes on the prey. Never get distracted or look away." I muttered.
Mother smiled and hugged me, "Good Clover! You actually remebered!"
"Huh? Your not mad at me for not catching today's dinner?"
"Nope!"
"And your not mad at me for being stuck at the bottom of the rankings?"
"WHAT?!"
Mother freaked out. I literally got blown away to the Sand Kingdom.
Mother is panicking, "How did you get into last ranking?! I thought you were at least in the Sixth Circle!"
"Sheesh Mom! I was joking!" I beamed at her, "I'm in the Fourth Circle!"
Mother gave me a death stare. I thought only NightWings can do that! Like da famous Morrowseer that died happily ever after.
Apparently other IceWings cannot take a joke.

"Clover! We're going home! And no dinner for you tonight!" Mother growled.
Awwww! No FOOD?! Oh wait, I'm not Clay. Sorry. Forgot.
"Sure. And anyways, I'm getting sick of Polar bears." I replied. Mother scowled at me and then flew off.

When I got home, Mother was feasting on a WALRUS!
She never told me she's gonna eat a Walrus! Walrus's are for special occasions only! Like HatchingDay! Or when Santa comes by!
Haha. Scavengers these days. They saw a deformed IceWing fly by and yays! Santa was born!
I stared at the Walrus hungrily and clawed my necklace lightly. Mother teased me by eating louder and slowly.
"Mooooommm!" I whined.
Mother gave me a gentle smile and waved her arm at the Walrus.
I knew what that sign mean!
FEASTING TIME!
So I stole the rest of the Walrus and ate it all in one bite.
Mother smiled at me. A weird thing happened. I swear I saw a ripple in the air. Or maybe it's just my imagination.

It was the next day! So I flew to my first class, combat.
"Clo-ver! The pink IceWing!" A nearby IceWing teased.
Huh? Pink? I looked down at my scales so see they were pink! Arg, I forgot to control my scales!
This is really strange. Yes, I'm an IceWing. The most awesome IceWing of all! Well, second to Winter.
But my scales change colours. Like RainWings. Ugh, don't mix me with those lazy RainWings! All they do is eat, sleep, eat some more fruits, then some more sleeping.
Sure, there are some RainWings that are not like that. Like Queen Glory!
I focused on my scales and turned them back to their normal colour, the pale blue and the crystal white.
Very soon our instructor, FrostClaws came in. He paired us up with another IceWing for practice. Guess who I got paired up with! Yup! Glacia.
"Hey RainWing!" Glacia called out.
I glared at her and then swung my tail in her face. This is combat class after all.
She got really made and pulled my tail really hard.
"OWWWW! Hey! Cheater! No pulling tails!" I growled at her.
FrostClaws smirked at me, "Clover, this is your fault for attacking her first."
Great. JUST GREAT! This is gonna bring down my rankings A LOT.
I have to make a counter attack. Unless I want to die.
So I flew up into the skies.
I always like flying. The air between my wings. It makes me rather calm. I makes me feel free.
But Glacia is faster.
Glacia shot up right behind me, slashing me with her tail, knocking me out of balance.
Then she used her frost breath to finish it off.
"Goodbye loser!" She snared.
And then I was falling.

When I woke up I saw Mother hovering over me searching for injuries.
I groaned, "H-huh..... W-what ha-happened? Pineapples?"
"What da heck are pineapples?" Mother looked confused.
In fact. I have not the slightest idea as well. I just had a strange dream about a fight against a giant pineapple and then the pineapple was flying.... Weird. What's more weird is the pineapple turned into a banana and slashed me out of the skies. Then the banana said 'Goodbye loser' and then I woke up...
"Yeah, whatever....." I murmured.
Me and my typical weird dreams. Like yesterday how I had a dream where a scavenger was riding on a weird dragon... It looks like a NightWing but it has a broken tail. And I THINK the scavenger has a broken leg.........
Mother interrupted my random thinking, "Clover, you should rest up for awhile, don't worry, Glacia has been taken care of. She is now down at the Fifth Circle-"
I shot out of bed, ran out of my igloo and did a victory dance.
Other IceWings gave me a weird look.
So I jumped back inside. Mother sighed, "And your in the First Circle, first ranking."
My scales turned bright rainbow and I started dancing outside while screaming "PINK FLUFFY UNICORNS DANCING ON RAIIIIINBOOOWSSSS!!!"
Other IceWings gave me even weirder looks.
"What in three moons are you doing?" Mother snorted.
"Duh! I'm dancing!" I snickered.
Mother gave me an awkward stare. What? Is there anything wrong with dancing?
"You... Do understand that the Trials are tomorrow right?..." Mother said slowly.
Right. The Crystal Trials. After the amazing Winter saved Foeslayer, the Diamond Trials were no more. But a stupid IceWing decided 'Hey! Let's make another Trial so we can watch MORE dragons die and fight for their lives! JUST LIKE THE SKYWING ARENA AND THE HUNGER GAMES!' and so the Crystal Trials were born.
No dragon really know what the Crystal Trial is... All we know is 2 dragons gets sent there, and only 1 comes back. They also changed up the rules, it's the dragonet with the highest ranking verses the one with the lowest. And they have to be of the same age.
So it's me verses Glacia huh?
Gosh I am so dead.
But for now, I pretend ALLS good and go back to eating and dancing.
