Prologue

She sat in the royal hatchery, her ebony scales shining in the moonlight, tonight was the night, she could feel it, tonight was the night the two princes would hatch. Princes? She thought she didn't know what gender they would be, but they felt like males, one pure nightwing, and one half rainwing, what would the tribe think? Probably that their Queen was a- was that a crack?

She looked at the eggs, one a iridescent black, the other black like the night sky... with a crack. Get it together Ashkeeper, you can handle this, Sky hatched just like any other dragonet, these will too. She watched and the young dragonet reached his arm through the shell, but it wasn't the normal black nightwing scales, they were light red, nearly white she had only ever heard of this once, it was her great great great great great great grandfather, who was Albino, it was so rare in the nightwing tribe, the gene had only been recorded once before.

The dragonet stopped struggling and the shell shattered around him, he opened his eyes and looked up at her, his mind was still dark, then, his mind flashed a picture of her, she looked into his blood red eyes and smiled "hello little prince."
